Chapter 400: Chapter 366 Cleaner!

Jiang Xiao watched quietly, not a stir in sight.

The little girl behind him couldn’t stay still anymore and also floated to the entrance of the hall.

Clearly, they both were puzzled, why weren’t these people afraid of them?

As their confusion grew, more and more beings floated toward the entrance to peek.

Among them was the entity mentioned in the rules that bled from "seven orifices."

Shit...

The museum director was so nervous his pockets were soaked.

This damn place wasn’t just hosting one or two beings; it looked like they were all swarming out from the nest.

"Stay calm, don’t be afraid!"

By this time, Martin didn’t need the museum director’s reminder; he was already exerting all his effort...

And then, at that moment.

A loud ’clang’ rang out from the hallway.

The three of them were stunned, then their expressions instantly turned to horror.

We’re screwed!

And there was Bao Lebin, the most cowardly and scared of them all!

"We’re done for, done for, done for!"

Following Bao Lebin’s panicked voice, he too arrived in the living room, obviously unaware of the trouble outside, and kept apologizing to the museum director.

"I’m so sorry, so sorry! I overslept, I’ll go cook right now, right now!"

All three were frantically making eye gestures at him, signaling him to be careful and not to turn around.

"Hmm? Why, what’s behind me?"

The three of them did better not to remind him, but once they did, Bao Lebin instinctively turned around.

What the hell?!

"Don’t, don’t yell!"

Alas, the museum director’s warning was a step too late.

"Ah!!! Ghosts!!!"

That screaming tenor almost knocked the ceiling off.

Perhaps the entities outside realized that the people inside were all bark and no bite, or perhaps they were triggered by Bao Lebin’s screams.

Either way, they swarmed in all at once.

"Fuck! Run! Head toward the warehouse!"

Without needing the museum director’s cue, the night watchman, always as steady as Mount Tai, was the fastest to run, with Martin right behind him.

Ironically, because of his warnings, the museum director ended up at the back.

"You guys... Shit! Wait for me!"

They say human potential is boundless in moments of danger, and it sure was true.

Martin felt that this sprint might have even broken his personal record set during his peak days in the special forces.

It was the same for the other three.

They only wished their mother had given them more than two legs at birth; two were simply not enough.

’Bang!’

Bao Lebin, the last to enter the warehouse, fiercely locked the door behind him, his face still fraught with terror.

This was the same cold, empty chamber Jiang Xiao had just been in.

"Phew~ that was close, could’ve been the end of us, phew~ phew~"

Sitting powerlessly on the floor, Martin frustratingly pulled at his hair, feeling like he had put everyone in danger.

"We’re not out of danger yet! Keep your spirits up!"

The museum director scolded Martin, now was not the time to blame him.

Of course.

He and the night watchman had already decided that once they were safe, they would definitely make this unlucky guy suffer.

But for now...

With the situation already dire and everything going south so quickly, they might as well spare his life for a little while longer.

In case of another dangerous moment, they could use this guy as a decoy...

"Curator, what’s...what’s going on with them? Isn’t the main storage safe enough?"

Bao Lebin asked, his face pale.

"Hmph, what are you comparing this to? The domain is broken, and the main storage won’t hold them off for long. We can only temporarily retreat to get through tonight, and coming back tomorrow during the day to handle this will be the only real safety."

As if proving the Curator’s point, his words had barely finished when the thick iron door of the main storage began to violently shake.

Even parts of arms had already "penetrated" through the door.

"Go!"

The Curator went to a wall and pressed the mechanism of the secret room.

The Night Watchman furrowed his brow, hesitating to speak, feeling something was off.

"Curator, don’t you find it strange?"

"Strange? What?"

While responding to the Night Watchman, the Curator had opened the secret room and let everyone go inside for refuge.

"Their speed... today seems much slower."

It made sense if they couldn’t catch up to themselves and the Curator, but why couldn’t they even catch up to Martin?

Even Bao Lebin, that weakling, could luckily escape.

It was really forcing it to call it good luck...

After all, this time it wasn’t just one or two, roughly estimating there were at least a dozen, maybe even over twenty.

Since these creatures could layer on top of each other, it was hard to determine the exact number.

"It is indeed strange... Maybe, maybe their murderous intent isn’t strong, or perhaps they think they’ve already secured us, so they’re not in a hurry to chase?"

’Boom!’

The secret room’s door was heavily shut.

The Night Watchman nodded, the Curator’s explanation wasn’t without reason.

After all, these creatures preferred to chase and scare people, cornering them before killing them.

"Here, can we be safe here?"

Bao Lebin was still very nervous, as he could distinctly feel a strange noise coming from the walls.

It was like nails frantically scratching, piercing... and disgusting.

"Of course not, such physical entities are hard to block, one or two is manageable, but mainly it’s too many. Follow me."

The Curator walked to that tombstone again, then crouched down and pushed hard on the floor tile.

After the tile moved, a huge, deep black hole was revealed, with complex machinery inside.

"This is..."

Bao Lebin’s eyes widened, he had been working here for so long, and never realized that such a thing existed within the main storage.

"Hehe, it’s normal you didn’t know, only I and the Night Watchman knew about this place!"

At this point, the Curator appeared confident, indicating that as long as they followed this passage, they would definitely save their lives tonight.

"Oh, oh, oh~" Bao Lebin nodded in sudden realization: "That explains it! I kept wondering why you wanted to kill me, now I’ve found the reason!"

"That’s natural, you..."

Hmm?

Everyone: "!"

"You, what did you just... say?"

"What did I say?" Bao Lebin tilted his head and gave the Curator a sweet smile: "Don’t you know what I said?"

During the conversation, Bao Lebin had already blocked the passage, clearly not willing to let the other three pass.

Fuck!

Is this spineless guy a double-crosser?

Martin was churning inside, but he didn’t show it, keeping on subtly changing positions, trying to find a safe spot.

"Really, things you shouldn’t say, I just accidentally caught a glimpse outside, and you were ready to put me to death, isn’t that a bit too vicious?"

"It’s you!"

Both the Curator and the Night Watchman’s faces changed drastically!

"Old Qi!"

"Cleaner!"

Bao Lebin... or perhaps now he should be called Old Qi, nodded.

"Hmm, not too stupid, I thought you had forgotten me~"
