About that door, even Calvin wasn't too sure, but he still couldn't help but think a little more.

Calvin and "Red Deer" searched the management office, but they did not find the so-called master key.

On the wall facing the gate, there is a cork board with metal hooks hanging on it, and some keys are hung under the hooks of specific nameplates.

But none of these keys is a master key.

Calvin walked to the other side of the office - there were rows of overlapping rectangular lockers against the wall.

There are staff name tags posted on the outside of the lockers, and each locker is locked, but this is not a big problem for Calvin.

He stretched out his hand and pressed on those thin iron locker doors, and once again used the "power" The ripples left in his body have become familiar, and Calvin felt a cold and pure sense of electricity flowing along him The wings flowed down to his fingertips.

He lowered his eyes, and soon heard the "click" sound he expected.

Calvin took a step back, and at the same time as he backed up, all the lockers seemed to be caressed by an invisible force, and they all bounced open in unison.

"Wow, you're getting better and better now."

"Red Deer" did not know when he came behind Calvin, he whistled and then gave out a sound of admiration.

Calvin let the "Red Deer" hug him from behind with a blank expression, and his eyes wandered around the things inside the lockers—photos of kittens and puppies were pasted inside the doors of the lockers, Rabbit's foot keychain for luck, everyday clothes crumpled into the interior of a locker, sneakers, water bottle, a couple of Twilight novels...

Calvin felt that he was not scanning these things with his eyes, but with another, more acute perception.

In the next second, he broke free from the restraint of "Red Deer" and walked towards a certain locker.

The owner of this locker organized his belongings quite cleanly. Calvin noticed that the title on the nameplate was "Jim Cullen, Captain of Team B, Security Department".

Calvin reached out and fumbled in his personal belongings, and soon, his fingertips caught a small metal key.

Before seeing the key, Calvin knew that this was what they were looking for.

Calvin and "Red Deer" used that key to open the door of the fire escape.

For Calvin, everything was normal.

He didn't notice any changes or weirdness (of course, there was a faint musty smell in the air behind that door, which made Calvin want to sneeze), but when the "Red Deer" stepped into the door At that moment, the skin around his temples tightened.

Calvin shot him a quick glance, then looked away.

The "Red Deer" seemed to be enduring something—something Calvin couldn't perceive and whose source he didn't know was oppressing the green-eyed devil behind him. "Red Deer" doesn't hide his discomfort too much, which may be some kind of coping strategy for him.

Well, Calvin admitted it was useful, at least as the two of them climbed the fire escape all the way up, Calvin resisted the urge to strike at Red Deer, because he had no way of judging, the hospital Did that special power completely suppress the special ability of "Red Deer".

The internal facilities of St. Mary's Church Hospital were not as advanced and advanced as Calvin imagined, at least in the stairwell.

The faint musty smell lingered in Calvin's nose from beginning to end, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Calvin didn't have much leeway to care about the musty smell, because his journey with the "Red Deer" didn't take long before he encountered the first wave of trouble——

[Stop——]

Calvin stopped abruptly, and then he slowly pushed back to the corner.

Through the gap between the steps, Calvin glimpsed a few pairs of black special leather shoes, which were worn on several tall men in black suits with tight muscles and serious faces.

Calvin narrowed his eyes, God knows how slowly he was immersing himself in the shadows between the fire escapes.

The legs of those men in suits were slightly spread, and their palms were overlapping in front of their bodies.Their posture isn't tense, but that's just what it looks like.Calvin smelled a familiar smell of blood on them.This is a group of people who have seen blood. Rather than saying that they are bodyguards, it is better to say that they are some kind of private violent armed forces.Calvin was sure that if he was caught by those people, they would not give him any chance to resist - in those years of wandering and fleeing in the underground district, Calvin learned not only super bad bartending skills, but also judging the situation .

Even the underground doctor Holden, who is highly respected in the entire black empire, would not want to provoke that kind of desperado.

【"Because they have nothing to fear, they have never valued the lives of others, and they don't care about their own lives, and this kind of people are the most terrifying. They are a group of mad dogs, and no one is not afraid of mad dogs."】

Calvin didn't know if it was because he was immersed in his thoughts that his eyes were too obvious. Suddenly, a bodyguard in black standing in front of the fire door turned his head slightly in Calvin's direction.

"Ok?"

The man let out a soft snort, and then he walked towards the stairwell with steps that were probably lighter than a cat's.

His eyes were calm, but equally awake.

Calvin frowned, and before he had time to respond, the body temperature of "Red Deer" slowly touched Calvin's back.

He covered Calvin's mouth with his hand, and then dragged Calvin back suddenly.

【"Hush—"】

In a trance, Calvin seemed to be able to hear the voice of "Red Deer" silencing him.

Immediately afterwards, shadows filled the air.

Calvin couldn't describe the feeling in words—the shadows seemed to be solid, they were sticky, cold, and moist, like a gel secreted by some dark aquatic animal, covering Calvin bit by bit up.

It was a pretty bad feeling.

Calvin felt that his vision suddenly became extremely dim.The shuddering cold seemed to be able to drill into his bone marrow through his pores, and the shadows tightly adhered to his skin and mucous membranes.Calvin couldn't move, couldn't breathe.

His body temperature lost very quickly in an instant. If "Red Deer" hadn't reached out to hug him in time, he might have died within seconds due to his body temperature problem.

【"Don't be afraid, shadows can't hurt you."】

The voice of "Red Deer" was transmitted to Calvin in a wonderful way, the voice was so loud that it was as if "Red Deer" was shouting deep in his brain.

Then, behind Calvin, the "Red Deer" kissed Calvin's neck.

Calvin thought he would have screamed if the situation hadn't been so dire.

Like a large beast capturing its own prey, the "Red Deer" left a circle of deep tooth marks on the back of Calvin's neck.Immediately afterwards, his lips followed the contours of Calvin's face, dropping countless soft kisses along the way.

Calvin's face turned livid, but "Red Deer" smiled at him.Then he stretched out his hand, motioning Calvin to look out.

Sure enough, there was a completely transparent barrier on the third of the stairs, but the man didn't see it.

Calvin felt that it was because he was already standing inside the shadow that the man didn't notice him and the "red deer".

thumping—

thumping—

thumping—

Calvin hadn't really felt such psychological pressure for a very long time.

The man stood there for a while, his vigilant eyes scanning every corner of the stairs.

Occasionally, Calvin even met his gaze directly.

The man's pupils were so ruthless that Calvin wanted to vomit, and the man even caused his uncanny valley effect.Calvin swore that he had never seen such a terrifying human being. His human emotions, even if they were cruel or cruel, had been completely lost.

That person looks like a machine.

And it is the most clumsy robot with only basic functions.

The man didn't notice Calvin's existence, although at the last moment, he suddenly raised his hand and flapped it back and forth in front of Calvin's curled up place, his nails almost hooked off the tip of Calvin's nose.Thankfully at the last minute, Red Hart pulled Calvin back another step.

Calvin thus avoided the strange temptations of "men."

It was at this moment that Calvin suddenly understood.The place where I am now is not a normal space, but another temporarily opened room.

Very small, the room is filled with time and shadows.

It is precisely because of this that Calvin's movements are so slow.

"really weird--"

Calvin heard the man muttering in an unusually distressed way.

"Hey buddy, did you find anything?"

asked the man's companion behind him.

"No."

The man replied dryly.

But his gaze remained on the wall near Calvin—

"I think there should be someone here."

The bodyguard in black muttered nervously.

Then he suddenly raised his gun and pointed it at Calvin.

Calvin, who was completely enveloped by the shadow, couldn't even avoid the muzzle of the gun quickly, his pupils constricted suddenly.

But in the end, the bodyguard in black still didn't actually shoot. [Calvin suspects that it was because the sound of the gunfire would affect the frightened lord bishop inside the hospital]

He left the steps of the stairs step by step, and then returned to where he was before.

Calvin couldn't help but frown tightly.

It's all very strange...&

he thinks.

The abnormal security facilities of this hospital and such killers are used to guard the gate...

Calvin couldn't think of any reason, not even a visit from an Adventist bishop, which is hard to explain.
