Kill Corpse Worms, Get Experience

Chapter 11 Kill Corpse Worms, Get Experience

"Keep up, keep up, let's go to the first attraction, the twisted monster in the toilet."

Allen took on the role of guide, calling Bruce and Oliver to head to the nearby school.

The two remained skeptical of Allen's earlier recounting of the secrets of Silent Hill.

They exchanged a glance, and Bruce whispered, "Grab someone and interrogate them. Once we find the Blade of Redemption, we'll leave."

"I hope everything goes well."

Oliver was skilled in archery, which gave him a keen sense of perception.

He felt uneasy as the ash and haze rose, but not to the point that he would back down.

The exit point of Silent Hill has become a bottomless abyss, and it is impossible to escape safely without Alessa's permission.

On the opposite side of the cliff stood a woman with disheveled hair, dressed in white.

The abandoned school, with its dilapidated walls covered in brown stains, was filled with a foul smell of decay and rust.

Allen acted as if he were in a haunted house, kicking down every door and entering every room he saw, like a bandit breaking into a village.

"I love monsters the most."

How could I not like it?

They're all adorable little ones who contributed their experience.

Meanwhile, when Allen and his two companions entered the surface world, the cultists hiding in the dilapidated building had already discovered the intruders and immediately reported it to their leader, Krista.

The church is the only place in Silent Hill where one can escape the influence of dark forces.

The cult leader, Krista, dressed in a long black robe, listened to the report from his followers. His wrinkled face remained as dignified and calm as ever.

They are just poor wretches trapped in Silent Hill, their lives frozen in fear due to the presence of dark forces that have caused time to stand still.

The belief in my heart is liberation and redemption.

"A martial artist?"

Krista took out an antique dagger hidden in her sleeve, guessed what had happened, and calmly said, "Prepare to welcome the guests from the Assassin's Guild."

"Yes, Master!"

The followers obeyed immediately and were clearly unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

After years of trial and error, it has been determined that the curse must be broken; otherwise, any cult members who die in Silent Hill, in any way, will be transformed into monsters in the Otherworld.

By consulting historical records, Christa eventually found a way to end the source of the problem.

Only by killing the source, Alessa, with the Blade of Redemption can the curse be lifted for everyone.

……

"Found it."

Pushing open the door to a toilet stall, a mummified corpse bound with wire and posed in a contorted position came into view, with a line of English sentences written on the wall behind it.

"If you jump, I'll jump too."

Allen tilted his head to examine the English text, then uttered a completely wrong translation.

"If you dare, I dare," Oliver corrected, sounding somewhat speechless.

Despite being proven wrong by his teammates on the spot, Allen remained calm and resolutely refused to admit that he had said anything wrong.

What use is a corpse?

Bruce pressed his finger to his nose; the smell of the dried corpse was simply too disgusting.

"It's no use."

Allen responded frankly, continuing to explain, "He's a perverted cleaner who shoved the demigod kid around. I'm just here to check in."

"..."

Sure enough, believing in mental illness makes one mentally ill.

Bruce gave him a wink, and Oliver understood immediately; the two prepared to shake off Allen.

"Bat, Green Arrow, don't rush off. Want to see something exciting? The long-legged nurse, a must-see spot in Silent Hill. You'll regret it if you don't see it."

Allen's beaming expression suggested he couldn't wait to see the swollen-faced nurse.

"Allen, can you stop making a scene?"

Bruce said solemnly, "In unfamiliar and unknown environments, we should complete the mission and escape as quickly as possible, rather than wasting time meaninglessly."

Alan's expression hardened, and he spoke in an unusually serious tone, a departure from his usual demeanor: "Bat, we're trapped in the surface world now. We can't leave Silent Hill without the kid's permission. Don't you think I'm worried?"

Upon hearing this, Bruce realized he had misunderstood him and felt guilty for his harsh tone.

"Hey, I'm not in a hurry at all."

The next second, Allen reverted to his neurotic state.

Seeing this, Bruce took a deep breath, gripping the hilt of his sword, wishing he could chop him to pieces and mince him into mincemeat.

He's got a screw loose; he's listening to lunatics spout nonsense.

"What happened to the wall?"

Oliver frowned as he looked at the blackish-red mold spreading across the wall.

Not only the walls, but also the ceiling and floor were covered in a disorderly manner by black and red mold.

The Otherworld has arrived.

This scene made the two of them reconsider Allen's words.

Does the real world, the surface world, and the inner world truly exist? Does that mean I'm truly trapped within them?

Bang!

The toilet stall door was wide open, and a crawling monster approached them.

What appeared to be a dried-up corpse bound with barbed wire had transformed into a monster in the inner world.

"The twisted monster is wrapped in thorns and wires all over its body, and every movement causes its lower body to feel a tearing pain."

Allen casually commented from the side, "I must say, it has a high artistic value. The tortoise shell binding has been replaced with thorny wire, and the ingenious structure concentrates the pain into one point. It must be the masterpiece of a master who is well-versed in this art."

The twisted monster followed the sound, sticking out its pale tongue which flew up and down.

Not dangerous, but disgusting.

He drew his sword and slashed.

The twisted monster's head hit the ground, and its body collapsed limply.

[Defeat the Twisted Monster, experience points +150]

"The monster who lusts after my body must die."

He drew his sword and sheathed it in one fluid motion, displaying incredible speed.

With a flash of sword light, monsters were instantly killed. Bruce asked himself if he could do as smoothly as Allen.

Is this something a mentally ill person could handle?

I feel like I'm not even as good as a mentally ill person.

Snapped!

Killing corpse worms grants +10 experience points.

A strange insect resembling a cockroach crawled out along a crack in the wall.

Allen reacted quickly and stomped on it to death.

A saying circulates among the survivors of Silent Hill.

If you encounter a corpse worm, you must stomp it to death without hesitation, and then run away without looking back, because if you encounter one, countless corpse worms will follow.

"Bat, Green Arrow, run!"

With his sword drawn, Allen slashed at the swarm of insects emerging from the wall.

A sword slashed out.

The experience points kept increasing.

At least two hundred points, that's incredibly satisfying.

Of course, Allen told the two to run for their lives, while one of them consumed all the experience points to level up.

"Sufficient experience; current thief level 31."

In just a few sword strikes, he killed nearly a hundred corpse worms and was upgraded.

"Allen, evacuate immediately."

As the swarm of insects grew increasingly fierce, Bruce and Oliver were the first to break through the door.

Allen, engrossed in his rapidly increasing experience, completely ignored the warning.

With a swift and decisive strike, swords fell, without even blinking, fully demonstrating the domineering spirit that allowed him to cut his way from Nantian Avenue to Doushuai Development Zone.

In a short while, corpse worms swarmed in like a tidal wave.

A thick layer of corpse worms and carcasses had accumulated around Allen.

Even with the fastest attack, it was ultimately no match for the overwhelming number of corpse worms, and they were instantly engulfed by the swarm.

"Sufficient experience; current thief level 50."

Unlocked skill: Blade Assault Formation.

'Sword Blade Killing Formation: Twelve sword shadows attack in all directions, with damage calculated based on the base value of the shadow sword blades.'
