Chapter 105: The Rats, the Waiters, and the Corridor

Before coming here, Xiuge had no idea that those rat colonies would appear in this way.

After the initial "eruption", the uncountable deformed rats began to scramble out of the statue's mouth, and in the process, Schug saw that the mouth of the humanoid stone statue seemed to open wider, and the rats that kept crawling out seemed not satisfied with such a small exit, and under their "squeezing", Ludwig Ernst's stone statue opened its mouth wide to the limit, almost to the point that its jaw was about to completely detach from its face.

At this moment, Xiuge didn't have time to think about what was going on, because these newborn rats were fundamentally different from the kind of behavior he had encountered before, they did not combine into human forms to attack himself and Wei Lin as Xiuge expected, but maintained the most primitive and fierce predatory posture, crushing in the direction of the two like a tide.

The "Needle of Rain and Snow" summoned by Vilynn had danced into a huge blue ribbon beside her, and cold hoarfrost began to appear everywhere that was not covered in blue light, and the black rats that tried to cross the line of this hoarfrost were severely slowed.

However, the cold and stiffness did not hinder the progress of the rats, who did not mind using their own kind as stepping stones, and the tendrils that made up their hind legs were constantly swinging, causing them to step on their own kind quickly.

"Gotta get out!"

Shug frowned as he looked at the large swarm of rats that were completely integrated with the black room, and the touch of Calron with sharp arthropods emerged from his side and the palm of his left hand, and they swept through the swarm of rats with extreme ferocity, easily creating a large void in the black rat tide.

Wei Lin's reaction was quick, and the second "Needle of Rain and Snow" was summoned by her, so the shiny and sharp ice crystal needle was nailed directly into the clearing with her control, and large swaths of hoarfrost bloomed in the room, pushing away, frozen, and shattered countless rats trying to fill it.

The two of them stepped on this makeshift passage towards the outside of room 203, and as they were about to leave the room, Hug waved quickly, and a touch of Calon immediately hooked the heavy metal door, and forcefully slammed it shut.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

Next to the headless body, the waitress was in even worse condition.

"I can understand what you mean."

The magic ribbon that had cleaned up many rats for Verin had been rewound around her hand, but the "Needle of Rain and Snow" magic had obviously become much dimmer compared to the beginning, and now it really looked like an ordinary ribbon.

Like the legendary patients infected by the "Wolf Plague", the waiter's body is rapidly transforming in the direction of the beast.

"Someone's coming."

Wei Lin nodded, "Mr. Shug, if you didn't lie about what happened before, then your statements and deductions should be generally correct, otherwise I wouldn't have come here with you rashly......

….

The lever is triggered, the runner rotates, resets, aims, and pulls the trigger......

Wei Lin raised her chin towards Room 203, "Assuming that there is a human figure in every closed room here, and each figure has some kind of magic and ritual attached to it that we don't understand, the potential number of rats in these underground levels will be far greater than we think, not to mention that you have encountered some enemies outside of the rat colony here before."

The destination of the two attendants was extremely clear, and they did not stop at all as they went, and just kept getting closer to where the two of them were.

"Hoo ......"

"What?"

This time, the magic bullet finally hit its target accurately.

The third and fourth rounds were original metal bullets.

The sound of gunfire that should have shook the entire underground level was successfully muffled by the soundproofing magic attached to the revolver rifle in advance, and the magic bullet was there

A clear trail dragged in the dim light, and it easily crossed the entire corridor and struck the male waiter in the chest with precision.

"It's true that the change is very different from my previous estimate, but ...... It's a different story."

He couldn't hear the sound of the revolver rifle in his hand, but he could feel the tremor of the delicate metal structures as they collided with each other.

"If your suspicion of the ancestors of the Ernst family is true, we are likely to be in more trouble here than we thought!"

The male waiter, who was severely alienated, didn't seem to care much about this level of damage, and he twisted his body and shook his arms violently, trying to break the ice blades that pierced him, but at this moment, a shadow jumped out from behind, and suddenly, the three powerful and flexible tails of the Running Rat were already wrapped around the male waiter's head like a noose, and pulled his head back hard, forcing him to show his defenseless neck.

A magical page was pinched between Verin's fingers, and she pressed it against the wall beside her, and in the violent trembling of the magic page, the hoarfrost that had previously covered the corridor turned into a large expanse of cold stagnant water in the blink of an eye.

She opened her mouth slightly, and she spat out an obscure and mysterious ancient syllable.

At this moment, the male waiter who was the first to be shot by Xiuge had already shown his "inhuman" side.

"Go on."

In this case, Schug pulled the trigger first.

Perhaps knowing that Xiuge's attacks could inflict fatal damage on him, the male waiter, who had begun to transform into a rat, began to dodge with his instincts and reflexes, and a second demonic bullet flew across his cheek, leaving a hideous scratch on the thin black metal mask.

Wei Lin raised an eyebrow, "Of course, you said you rescued her from the bathtub, right?"

After more than ten seconds, probably realizing that his actions were meaningless, the rat swarm behind the door finally slowly dispersed, and the disturbing friction sound finally stopped.

There was nothing wrong with this sentence in itself, but Xiuge inexplicably felt that Wei Lin's point in this matter was a little subtle.

….

Wei Lin's voice came, and before Xiuge could respond, the two black masked attendants had already turned around from another corridor, but they were like magic statues without emotion and mental ability, although they faced the muzzle of the revolver rifle and Wei Lin holding the magic book in her hand, they still did not slow down their pace, and rushed towards the two of them.

His flesh, battered by the bullets, began to heal and reassemble at an exaggerated rate, and in the light of the old magic lamp, the new skin that had been hidden under the uniform grew gray-black hairs similar to those of rats, his body began to slump forward, and sharp claws appeared on the fingers of his hands.

With a small explosion of mana, the male waiter's neck was blown off the spot, and the headless body, which had been fully approaching the rats, struggled twice indiscriminately, and then fell forward and hung on the ice blades summoned by Vireen.

With the high reflexes provided by the magic, Shug started a continuous shot with an astonishing speed.

"There's nowhere to hide, so grab a live and try it."

Seeing that the enemy had stepped into the range of the White Frost, although Xiuge didn't know exactly what kind of magic Wei Lin would use, he couldn't let go of the current opportunity to shoot no matter what, so the experience and skill of using firearms that did not belong to him were once again displayed.

The waitress she was about to face was the one they had identified as "captured alive" in their simple communication, so she didn't use too violent magic, and in the face of these two silent enemies who were constantly approaching, the remaining "Rain and Snow Needle" on Wei Lin's wrist jumped out, and this already extremely dim magical light fell lightly to the ground and quietly exploded under the manipulation of Wei Lin's will, and a large area of cold white frost continued to spread along the ground, covering most of the corridors.

But at a time like this, it's clearly not the right thing to talk about

"Throughout, there have been no real 'murders' in the entire Manor Hotel, and all the damage to the members of the hotel has been kept to a level that is grudgingly acceptable, and while the scenes caused by the rat-like human form are indeed terrifying, the real damage caused is not even as good as the three 'Instant Fire, Pages, Pages, Miss Verin' that you threw out."

Blood splattered out with the burst of demonic bullets, and Xiuge saw a huge tragic gap in the male waiter's chest, but his movements did not stop, and when his body was already severely damaged, his speed increased again, and he actually changed from a brisk walk to a trot.

"Sure enough...... These waiters are no longer normal human beings."

One shot missed, and the other barely hit the target's shoulder.

Wei Lin let out a long sigh of relief, but the pale color on her face did not fade: "Mr. Shug, it seems that your description of these magical creatures is very skewed...... But in this case, you have made the right preparations, and large-scale fire magic is indeed the best way to deal with these rat swarms."

With a dull loud thud, the rats that spawned and gushed out of the stone statue were cut off by the heavy metal door, and they seemed not to be content with the departure of their prey, so they still insisted on gnawing and rubbing the metal door with their teeth and claws.

….

"Miss Viline, do you remember the girl I mentioned to you earlier that lived in room 519?"

Receiving the instructions of the Revision, Snich quickly scurried up the wall, and it nimbly jumped onto the stand of an old magic lamp, peering down the hallway.

"But the young lady in room 519 was severely injured by rats, and this is the first time that those magical creatures have revealed their true nature as rats!"

It was also at this time that Wei Lin began to cast spells.

Shogg remembered the last time he had used Snicky to probe and remembered that at the end, the waiter was lying on the doorframe like a rat and snooping......

White steam with heat poured out as the nest turned, and the revolver reset for the fifth time, this time a magic bullet.

As if in response to Wei Lin's words, the moment her voice fell, the Raging Rats on the other side of the corridor suddenly heard an alarm that someone was approaching the two of them from the other side of the corridor.

At this moment, Xiuge's spirit had entered a state of high concentration, he was like an emotionless shooting machine, and when the second shot missed, he once again pulled the metal lever, and while turning the bullet nest, he also took aim again.

In the field of vision of the Running Rat, two waiters, a man and a woman, were walking along the corridor, their faces wearing dark masks, and although their steps were extremely fast, there were almost no footsteps, like two ghosts floating in the corridor.

She glanced at room 203 next to her and said, "Careful deduction and bold guessing are necessary, of course, but don't forget, we are dealing with magical creations and rituals, so we need to add this kind of thinking."

Seeing that Wei Lin didn't show any more strange expressions, but was listening carefully to her statement, Xiuge continued: "I insist on the original judgment, there is a consciousness behind these rats that can manipulate them, and that consciousness has similar behavior habits and thinking methods to humans, but the problem is that these consciousnesses are not stable in their control over the rat colony, or not all rat colonies are under control!"

As if given life, the stagnant water flowing on the floor of the corridor began to tremble violently, and then one after another cold ice spikes formed by the condensation of the stagnant water quickly formed, they were like sharp blades and sharp knives stabbing from the surface of the water, piercing the bodies and limbs of the two attendants from different angles.

Shug reminded in a whisper as he lifted the revolver rifle he had put away earlier, and he constructed four magic bullets as fast as he could, and quickly filled them into the nest.

Although Wei Lin didn't want to kill her target on the spot, she didn't show any mercy in her attack, and she saw it with her own eyes

As soon as the attendants possessed inhuman physical properties, she injected more magic into her magic, and a huge number of ice blades poured out, like the most brutal torture instruments, killing the body-waitress in the middle of the corridor.

The Mage's Hand appeared in front of the struggling waitress, and with Vilin's gesture, the Mage's Hand gently removed her jet-black mask.

So Shug saw a familiar face.

If he was not mistaken, the waitress with a badly distorted face, green eyes, and a little gray-black hair on her skin was the same young girl with whom he had a previous relationship.
