Odd Containment Specialist

"Looks like we need to speed up."

The limit of backtracking for self-destruction is one hour, and the blood bottle Shangguanyan gave him is only effective for one hour.

Since backtracking is definitely necessary, it is best to attach all the BUFFs that should be provided, so as not to be caught off guard when unexpected events occur.

Thinking of this, Xia Shou took out the blood bottle and drank it all.

He threw away the empty bottle and walked through the living room, continuing to follow the red line until a door blocked him.

Because it is upside down, the upper part of the door becomes a threshold.

Xia Shou raised his legs, stepped on the threshold and slipped through the doorway, jumped to the other side, and entered a huge space that was ten times the size of the living room.

What was under his feet at this time was the ceiling of the office floor. Dozens of energy-saving lamps were arranged neatly and orderly on the ground at intervals of two meters. At regular intervals, there were air outlets of the central air conditioner.

Looking up, there are densely packed cubicle workstations above. Laptops, printers, and files are placed on each desk. All the arrangements are exactly the same as the real workplace, as if the real scene has been perfectly copied here. in a room.

The only difference between here and reality is that there is no one here.

Xia Shou turned his head and looked out the window of the office building, but what he saw through the window was not the urban scenery, but other spaces with completely different styles.

Xia Shou took a casual glance and saw classrooms, toilets, train stations, coffee shops...

These spaces with completely different functions are gathered here, spliced ​​together without logic like scenes in a dream.

Here, just by jumping through a window, you can go from a European classroom to an Asian library; by climbing over a door, you can go from a tin room in a slum to the bedroom of the super rich.

Although Xia Shou had long guessed that the space inside the Blood Demon House would be much larger than what he saw from the outside, he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. It was simply an infinite space!

"It's very difficult to find the investigator in a place like this, but this situation is beneficial to us. The price of at least 100 meters can be easily paid... Moreover, we are not actually here to save people." Xia Shou said to Alice.

I lowered my head and saw that the thickest red line under my feet had moved from the left to the right at some point, and was still moving at an extremely slow speed.

Seeing this scene, Xia Shou frowned.

The effect of [Searching for Death] is to indicate the danger of the road. If the most dangerous end point is a fixed location, then the direction pointed by the red line is the BOSS room and will not move for no reason.

But now, the most dangerous direction is changing on its own.

In other words, the most dangerous thing in this place is not a fixed position, but something moving.

The opponent is not a monster that just stays in a fixed position and waits for prey to come to you, but a predator that actively tracks the traces of its prey like a hunting spider.

So...will the end of the red line be the Blood Demon?

But what exactly is a blood demon?

Although he had read the relevant information about the Blood Demon's House before coming here, the information did not actually mention what the Blood Demon was.

Since the legendary investigator Edward lost contact in the House of Blood Demon ten years ago, the Bureau's understanding of this strange phenomenon has never deepened.

Although they named this strange phenomenon "House of the Blood Demon", they actually knew nothing about anything inside the house. They chose this name simply because of the appearance of the house and the description in a strange notebook. consistent.

But the damn thing is, even though this house was recorded in the notebook, because of the crazy writing style and confusing language used by the recorder, the Control Bureau was unable to learn more information from the notebook, and the final conclusion it reached was, Only this house has existed for at least hundreds of years and is extremely evil.

To put it bluntly, the Control Bureau's knowledge of the House of Blood Demon is almost blank.

However, there is another thing worth noting, and that is that ten years ago, the entrance to the Blood Demon House was not upside down.

As for why it became like this, no one knows.

Xia Shou took a deep breath, retracted his thoughts, and focused on the red line at his feet.

The first exploration focused on gathering intelligence.

Regardless, it's best to find the legendary investigator as soon as possible.

Since the other party can survive in this different space for ten years, he must have mastered the method of survival, and probably also knows a lot of special information.

Thinking of this, Xia Shou looked at the soles of his feet again, silently remembering the changes in the red line.

Since Edward could live for so long, he should have stayed in the safest place, so as long as he reversed the method of "seeking death", he might find Edward hiding here.

And the thinnest red line is the route to the safest location.

"Alice, let's hurry up!"

After saying that, Xia Shou ran on the ceiling of the office.

The larger the scope of the first search, the more beneficial it will be to him, not only in terms of intelligence gains, but also in terms of skills.

If he could encounter "nourishment" like the corpse in the living room just now, he would have a better chance of winning when facing the blood demon.

Xia Shou nimbly ran across the ceiling of the office building, awkwardly opened a window, and climbed to the coffee shop on the other side.

Although [Suicide] did not give him any hints, he knew very accurately that he had already advanced 56 meters and only needed to advance a certain distance. Even if the price was paid, he would be free by then.

Thinking about it this way, this skill is really powerful. Compared with the fault tolerance increased by backtracking, the price of one hundred meters is nothing at all.

When Xia Shou walked into the coffee shop, there were drops of blood on the ceiling under his feet, extending all the way to the back of the load-bearing wall in front.

Xia Shou walked a few steps following the speckled bloodstains and came to the back of the load-bearing wall. He saw a fair and smooth back with beautiful and attractive curves.

The girl standing in front of him had a bleeding bandage on her left arm and a nearly two-meter-long nodachi slung across her buttocks. She had just taken off her blood-stained top and was picking up a brand new white sword from the ground. Shirt, seems to be planning to change clothes.

The moment she leaned over, she noticed Xia Shou standing aside. Her eyes swept over his face, but his expression did not change at all. He was still changing clothes as if no one was around, as if there was only air and no one around him.

Xia Shou originally thought that he would be scolded for peeping, but the other party didn't react at all, and didn't even look at him. This made him feel very embarrassed: "Um... you are also from the Control Bureau?"

Before she finished speaking, the girl stopped dressing.

She raised her head suddenly, widened her eyes, and stared at Xia Shou with a ghostly expression.

"You...you you you! Can you see me?" she asked excitedly.
