There were no more floors below, and having followed all the way here, I can confirm that person did indeed come to this floor...

Looking back for a moment, making sure there were no more stairs going down, and there was no sign of the elevator being used, since I just came down from above myself. That rules out the possibility of the other party taking a detour and then using the elevator to go back up... Chen Xinda speculated as such, and then glanced left and right, choosing a corridor to continue down.

His luck was good... or perhaps very bad, as he happened to choose the right direction.

He quickened his pace, slowed down at the corner, peeked ahead, and then proceeded forward, quickly turning a corner and catching up to the person ahead — peeking cautiously from the corridor corner, Chen Xinda saw the figure just passing the end of the hallway.

Found him! He clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and couldn't calm himself.

But having come this far, there's no way to retreat now...

Just ask, just need to ask! I must figure out what's going on; my reactions today have been too abnormal! Conveniently, there's nobody else here, making it a great opportunity; I need to be decisive!

Shouting in his heart, Chen Xinda didn't realize he was actually behaving even more unusually now, because he was struggling against a peculiar impulse and forcibly finding a reason for himself. It seemed like he convinced himself, but in reality, it gave him an excuse to act, opening a door for his restless instincts.

He stepped out from the corridor corner, walking step by step towards that side, his body trembling slightly.

......

"As expected, nothing..."

Gu Mo walked around the large mortuary, sighing in relief or disappointment, his gaze sweeping over the corpses around him.

In the past, he certainly wouldn't have been able to do such a thing, but now he could avoid surveillance along the way, distract the guards to obtain the key, and calmly walk into such a place, observing such scenes without any ripple of feeling... Corpses were no longer something that had any impactful shock on him.

Everything was clean, simply pure death without any residual soul presence.

Is the real world really so rigorous, with the laws of physics leaving no gap for the mysterious?

He thought about it but didn't intend to linger here and ponder, instead turning towards another door to leave first. His original plan was just to take a look; that was enough, there was no need to explore further.

He didn't plan on returning the same way either, intending to exit from the other side where the backdoor corridor is designed to connect with the underground parking, likely for the convenience of moving corpses directly out.

However, since this wasn't a place one could enter and exit freely, there were designated guards at night, and during the day the main door was also locked if not in use. But Gu Mo could easily bypass these restrictions, such as using communication talismans along the way to find routes and angles to avoid surveillance, and temporarily blacking out cameras he couldn't avoid physically, not to mention obtaining the key through the Guardian Spirit...

In any case, after exiting, he could remotely direct the Guardian Spirit to repeat the process, locking the door, clearing traces, and returning the key unnoticed, leaving no one able to know he'd been there.

......

Just after Gu Mo had left, another figure followed closely behind.

As he stepped into the mortuary, Chen Xinda's mind was still swirling with complex thoughts. He didn't know how to start because he was fully preoccupied with this problem, unable to react at the first moment, instead standing still for a moment.

His initial tension and unease gradually turned into confusion as he looked around bewildered, and this confusion transformed again.

"...!!"

Finally realizing where he was, his face turned deathly pale, and brain cells began birthing feelings of fear, effectively suppressing that abnormal restlessness...

What am I doing here? Why am I here? Also, where is that... that person!

Fear is the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind, and when this definitive emotion arises, it is overwhelming. Chen Xinda felt as though he had been bewitched before, but now, with a sudden fright, he seemed to wake up to the terrifying position he was in.

His entire body stiffened, and his neck turned slowly like a rusty robot, glancing at the deathly still space around him, not daring to breathe heavily.

What he didn't realize was that at this moment, something behind him slowly emerged from the air.

White Viper, following the host who had just exited to the parking lot outside, materialized after closing and locking the main door, making no noise... It saw the man inside but ignored him since this did not concern the orders it received.

Chen Xinda looked around, found that the entire space aside from himself consisted only of deathly still corpses, and the previous figure was nowhere to be seen. His face turned pale as he hesitantly took two slow steps back and cautiously turned around, only to see the door behind him inexplicably locked tight.

"...!!"

His pupils constricted to the limit, his body shook like a sieve, his excessive fear finally breaching the threshold, and he opened his mouth to release an ear-piercing scream.
