I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 25 25. The Third Basement in the Afternoon (Please read~)

Three floors underground.

"Are we going to stay here until we die?" the girl sat in the corner of the room and said, "Or do you have any ideas?"

Marne opened his eyes and looked at her:

"I do have some ideas."

Of course he has ideas.

Walk to Ward 213 on the second basement floor, find the Abnormality Control Bureau, use the "employee channel" I mentioned to leave here, and set off for the Southern Federation to enjoy retirement.

Of course, you have to say "hello" to Xu Wen.

He went on to ask:

"But how long have you been waiting?"

Ning Changkong stood up and shrugged:

"Half a minute."

"I almost followed you in one after the other. It stands to reason that you don't have time to sit well." Ma En said here and shrugged. "But time is not constant in physics."

There were sparse footsteps outside.

Both the girl and Marne looked towards the door.

Click.

Something pushed the door open.

The first person to walk in was an old man with wrinkled face and so thin that he could even see the skeleton frame clearly. When he saw Ma En and Ning Changkong, his face showed obvious joy.

"These two newcomers look pretty." A fat man covered in green fish scales squeezed in behind him, and he glanced greedily at the space of Man and Ning Chang go.

The third person who walked in was a woman. The left half of her face no longer had any flesh and blood tissue. Instead, it was replaced by an insect-like chitin carapace. The huge compound eyes occupied two-thirds of the left face. Also like the pincers of some kind of insect.

The bony old man said:

"You are very lucky, you didn't encounter the cannibals on the seventh floor, you didn't bump into the pioneers on the eighth floor, and you escaped the crazy beasts on the ninth floor, and were found by us.

"And they all look good, I want to peel off your skins."

Insect Girl said:
"The queen will be very satisfied, come with us, don't be afraid of being frightened by us, not to mention that you don't even have a chance to escape, and you will be like us soon."

The fat fish man suggested:

"I'm hungry, can I pull my two arms down first?"

The old man said:

"The queen doesn't want defective products, bear with it, I can control my urge to peel."

Hearing the skinning, the fat man covered in fish scales took two steps back a little timidly.

Ning Changkong looked at the scene in front of him, silently stood behind Ma En, and said in a low voice:
"I don't know if it's my problem. I saw a skeleton, a fish monster, and a crustacean with female features."

Mann said:

"Several...

"Can you hear me say a few words?"

The three weirdos looked at him at the same time.

The old man grinned and said with a strange smile:
"Okay, I was afraid that you two would be scared away, but I didn't expect you to be quite calm."

Mann asked:

"Can you introduce me to this place, for example, the queen you mentioned, and the other floors you just mentioned, we are newcomers..."

"Very good, very good!" The old man's tone was almost maddened with jealousy, "Courageous man and beautiful girl, she will definitely like you very much."

The girl whispered behind Marne:

"Are we going to run away?"

Ma En raised his hand quietly, signaling her not to panic.

"Come out with us and have a look." The old man signaled his companion to go out with his eyes, "Let's talk about it later."

They followed.

Then, both Ma En and Ning Changkong noticed that this place was contrary to reality.

Apart from this door, there are continuous gray walls on both sides of the back. The corridor seems to be deep and dark with no bottom, and the ceiling is also tens of meters high.

The old man led them in the direction of going back:

"This place is countless times larger than the hospital you used to know. Corridors and corridors are connected to each other, almost without end, and the former hall has become an empty square, even enough to form a tribe.

"Same as above, there are also nine floors here, three, four, five, seven, and eight. These floors have their own rulers and residents, and the ninth floor is where the expelled herds gather."

Marne notes that he doesn't mention layers one, two, and six.

"And our ruler here is the queen, and she loves pretty boys and girls, so you are lucky that you don't work like us to make a living and delay the inevitable death in vain."

"What is a herd?" Marne asked.

The insect girl sneered and replied:
"What is a herd?

"We are, I am, you are too, look at us, this is your future, here we will not die easily, but every injury brings you closer to a crazy beast."

The fat fish man added:

"It will also bring strength."

The woman said with a cold face:

"The more you gain, the more you lose.

"There are only two paths here, become a mad beast, or be killed for real,"

Ma En asked as usual:
"What is real killing?"

He was very interested in it.

"Some strong men." The old man said hoarsely, "They can give others real peace and kill you directly and completely, so they are feared and worshipped.

"The rulers of the five floors are such strong men."

Mann said:

"What about the other three floors?"

The old man glanced at him sullenly:

"The sixth floor has collapsed for many years. It used to be no different from other floors, but at some point, no one was able to go there anymore.

"On the first floor, no one really knows what's there, the exit passage, hell, heaven, whatever.

"And the scariest monsters who care about this are gathered on the second floor, where only the strong can step into the forbidden area, other floors will communicate with each other, but if you enter the second floor without permission... …

"There are strong men everywhere who will kill you ruthlessly and use your flesh to delay their animalization."

And the door he left was on the second floor?

It seems that he has been to the underground in the past, and entered the second basement floor, where he left the "employee passage" of the Control Bureau in a way he can't remember.

The old man stopped suddenly:
"Almost forgot."

He raised his palm and stuck his sharp bony fingers out of the skin:

"Every newcomer has to turn in a finger.

"This is to test your potential."

After the words fell, the three weirdos all looked at them, and there was some kind of weird emotion faintly flashing in their eyes, and their expressions gradually became gloomy and crazy, as if some horrible thoughts were churning in their hearts.

This is indeed the rule of the underground floor. The strength of the beast transformation can often be seen from its performance, and they also need to eat fresh flesh and blood to increase their strength.

But the reason they stick to this tradition is anecdotal:
It is said that there is a door leading to the ground on the basement floor, but only the pure who have no signs of animalization and wild beasts that have gone completely mad can enter it.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to go back.

"Can I cut it later?" Ma En asked politely.

"You can be happy." The old man showed a bloodthirsty smile, "If it wasn't for the queen, we would have torn off your limbs for dinner, just take it as your first lesson here.

"Learn to bow your head to the strong."
