I’m Really Scared
Chapter 221: The Aquarium

“What is that?!”

Seeing his trusted employee suddenly turn into a pile of corpses, Qin Yong was shocked, realizing the situation had turned dire.

Indeed, the remaining employees, having lost their augmentation, quickly weakened and were then killed one by one by that strange bald man in a suit and the shadowy figure.

Before this moment, the situation had been a stalemate. The employees they sent out, with the augmentation ability “Average Distribution,” had even maintained an advantage. Although Guan Shan was nowhere to be seen, his two companions were not in a winning position.

The employee who was instantly dismembered possessed the special-class ability “Average Distribution,” which, as the name suggests, allowed him to evenly distribute most objects and concepts, including strength.

This employee connected with an item in their Warehouse No. 0, distributing her power to the other employees, making the originally unevenly skilled, and some even D-level, courier employees all around mid-to-late C-level.

Under normal circumstances, this would have been sufficient for most situations. Once they eliminated the two companions, the suddenly missing person would have no choice but to show up.

However, the shadowy figure had merely thrown two bizarre items, instantly reversing and collapsing the situation!

Qin Yong, as the manager of "Free Logistics," immediately connected the dots, exclaiming incredulously, “Those two items are both Panspirit Objects?!”

“How is that possible…” Qin Yong couldn't accept it. “Zhong Yang was connected to 'Warehouse No. 0'! He, acting as a conduit, should only be slightly lower in level than 'Warehouse No. 0.' How could he be instantly killed?!”

Sweat formed on Qin Yong's forehead. “Does that guy possess an A-level Panspirit Object that can instantly kill, and used it here?!”

This last part was what he found unacceptable!

Recalling the shadowy figure's casual toss of that stone sculpture, without hesitation or reluctance, it seemed as if it was just an ordinary stone!

The attitude implied that he had far more than one A-level Panspirit Object, available to use at any time...

Thinking of this, Qin Yong's heart trembled. According to market value, such an item could fetch tens of billions! And it shattered here...

“Wait, 'Warehouse No. 0'! Zhong Yang's death won’t affect that, right...”

Qin Yong suddenly thought of this, shivering, and immediately picked up the office phone to call the duty room of "Warehouse No. 0."

Once connected, Qin Yong asked urgently, “Any abnormal situations?”

The duty officer sounded puzzled, “No, everything is normal, Manager. Did something happen? The warehouse alarm went off, indicating a 'Danger' status...”

Qin Yong's heart sank. This meant the items were trying to attack the warehouse. But he didn't panic, asking, “What about the protective systems?”

“They are still intact.”

“Phew…”

Qin Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That's good. Increase the protection level to the highest, and the alarm will stop. Stay vigilant and report any changes immediately.”

“Yes, sir!”

Qin Yong hung up and turned to Fang Lu, who had been calm throughout, coughing lightly, “What do you think?”

Fang Lu stood up, stretching his fingers, the water droplets around them rising and falling, “Interesting, I'll handle it.”

Qin Yong immediately said, “If you need any assistance, just let us know.”

Fang Lu walked out, “Activate all the building’s fire sprinklers.”

“Shhh—”

The sprinkler heads embedded in the hallway ceiling suddenly started spraying water, yet the smoke detectors remained inactive.

To Guan Shan, it looked like the glass of the underwater tunnel had cracked, releasing streams of seawater.

The aquarium was indeed a real aquarium.

After dealing with several black-uniformed staff, Guan Shan reached the underwater tunnel area.

—Incidentally, those staff all had aquatic heads. Some had octopus heads, their tentacles wriggling wildly. Others had toad heads, their bulging fish eyes glaring, with ashen, wrinkled skin and webbed limbs. Some looked like jellyfish, making Guan Shan want to pluck off their heads…

In fact, he did just that.

Though it was unclear how a long underwater tunnel existed in a three-story building, this was the scene before Guan Shan.

A semicircular glass dome separated the bottomless ocean outside, filled with countless marine creatures swimming past, large schools of sardines, and even coral reefs.

The light came from the ground, illuminating only small areas around, making the ocean outside seem turbulent and terrifying.

“If such an aquarium existed in reality, I'd gladly buy a ticket to visit… Especially if it were with Xiao Shen,” Guan Shan thought, then noticed a crack above, “Of course, not if there are quality issues…”

Honestly, many people might have imagined the scenario of “what if the glass breaks” while visiting an underwater tunnel.

When such a thing actually happens, the terrifying pressure is comparable to seeing a screw fall out of your roller coaster seat… extremely frightening!!!

“Crack…”

The crack extended, spreading like a spider web.

The water flow changed from spraying to gushing, increasing in volume.

Ahead was an endless corridor, above was glass about to collapse.

Guan Shan, soaked, wiped his face, took a deep breath, and activated [Gravity Control], speeding up like an arrow, shooting forward.

He temporarily put away 47 and the Shadow Clone.

Retreat was not an option; a boss fight was coming up. He didn't want to be stuck in this illusion forever!

No matter how terrifying or dangerous, he could only move forward!

“Bee-doo, bee-doo, bee-doo—”

The warehouse’s alarm lights flashed red, while the thick metal egg-shaped protective device at the center had a large hole, remnants of limbs hanging from the gap.

Blood covered the warehouse’s walls and floor; all employees were dead, their bodies twisted and horrific.

In the guard room at the entrance, the employee slumped over the desk, his head barely attached to his body, eyes wide open in death.

“Humming~”

A slender little girl in a white dress sat on the desk, her legs swinging, holding the phone to her face, speaking in a childish voice, mimicking the dead employee, “Everything is fine… Yes!”

Strangely, Qin Yong heard the dead employee's voice.

“Click!”

She hung up, jumped off the desk, walked through the corpses, and reached the protective device. Tiptoeing, she set the display screen to the highest protection level, but the alarm kept blaring.

The girl tilted her head, “Weird, why doesn’t it work?”

After fiddling for a while, she lost interest, turning her attention to the warehouse door, curiously approaching, peeking outside to find no one, then stepping into the corridor, disappearing into the darkness.
