Under the confused gaze of the male and female companions, an overweight black man wearing a mask stood up first.
"Sound the alarm! Notify the security forces to capture the intruder!"
Compared to his composure, the rest of them showed a kind of panic.
They didn’t care about anything else, immediately throwing down the half-eaten flesh and escaping towards the nearest security passage.
They even grabbed their clothes and pants from the ground, holding onto their masks tightly, occasionally crashing into each other.
The comical scene instantly cleared away the cult atmosphere from before.
Unfortunately, the players had no time to appreciate this ’spectacle’ as the entire ancient castle was filled with blaring alarms and heavy chaotic footsteps echoed from all directions.
"Climb backward quickly, return the way we came, find an empty room to jump down into."
Even a fool should know not to stay in the duct.
The armed security of the castle was freaking out.
The security chief kicked open the door to the control management room and snapped at the staff inside.
"What the hell are you doing? Didn’t you see the reaction from the foreign object detection system in the ventilation ducts?"
The staff felt extremely wronged.
"The system malfunctioned just now, we’ve been repairing it all along, no alerts were sent before."
Damn it, they were wronged too, they weren’t allowed to install any surveillance or listening devices in this damned place, only ID card recognition and infrared detection could be used, storing data was prohibited, and all prosthetics had to be shut down, every entry and exit required memory hard drive checks and deletions.
If not for the high salary, no one would come to a place .
Whatever people downstairs were playing with was none of their business, whoever could come here could crush them with a flip of the hand.
"what?" The rightful source is novęlfire.net
The security chief thought it was an excuse found by a lazy subordinate, he immediately pushed aside the staff and opened the backend data on the system host, realizing they weren’t lying.
The system had issued a fault warning two hours ago, and the staff’s reporting procedures were entirely compliant, such minor issues usually wouldn’t reach him, so he was unaware.
"Two hours without repair... Such a severe bug..."
The security chief understood the capability of the maintenance crew, this situation was almost impossible to occur, and it happened precisely at this critical moment, the only possibility was human manipulation.
"Immediately notify all teams to close the passage gates on different floors, no one is allowed to pass, seal the ventilation ducts, lift the restrictions on prosthetics, shoot on sight anyone without identification, whether mercenaries or anyone else."
"Then... what about those members?"
"Let them stay in the safe room, don’t run around, armed intervention can be used if necessary, but try not to kill them."
"What about those toys?"
"Shoot them, they die playing anyway, a few more wouldn’t matter, they aren’t worth much, just bring a batch up from below."
The security chief, looking at the abnormal fluctuations in the infrared data in front of him, knew he couldn’t glean anything by sitting here and would also disrupt the maintenance crew’s work, so he decided to go out himself to catch and kill these mice.
However, a few minutes after the door was shut, knocking sounds suddenly echoed.
The guards inside didn’t open the door but aimed their technical rifles at the entrance straight away.
The supervisor and security personnel wouldn’t knock, they had the direct entry ID card privilege, even if not, they would use the communication channel to apply.
While rapidly crawling in the ventilation duct changing direction, everyone was sweating all over from the alarms blasting into their ears.
Even a fool should know it’s not good at this moment.
As they were thinking about crawling out quickly and contemplating a long-term plan, a mesh gate suddenly descended in front of the ventilation duct, blocking the way.
And sounds came from behind too, clearly blocked on that side as well.
"From here, go down first."
A2 kicked open the grill below and jumped down first, followed by the Super Earth trio.
As another reporter, Lewis was clearly not as nimble as Thomson who followed Silver Hand into Huang Ban before, not only crawling out stumbling but also falling over.
It was then that they began observing the surroundings, evidenced by the transparent walls and doors, their location was clear.
It was the place where the custom-made companions of the cultists lived.
The Propaganda Department with a sly grin: "Maybe we can hide in a room for a while?"
The Truth Department immediately rebuked, "What the hell are you thinking at a time , and do you have a door card?"
All these doors were locked, fingerprint and iris unlock, even a door card wouldn’t work.
Their buddy regretted deeply: "What a shame, we might have enacted a Die Hard island adventure."
"What Die Hard nonsense, a bunch of minors with native bodies, how could they possibly get out?"
While the players made no progress, A2 was tirelessly searching for an exit since they descended.
According to her memory, moving a few sections backward from here should lead to the living quarters of the cultists, if they could capture a few hostages, their chances of survival would be much higher.
What she didn’t expect was just moments after she opened the door, urgent footsteps rapidly echoed in the corridor opposite, and they were densely packed.
But when they prepared for combat, a group of scantily clad minors, both male and female, appeared from around the corner.
The Truth Department quickly turned their head, afraid of getting kicked offline if they reacted at this time, which was as good as death.
Their good buddy: "Dude, there are mosaics."
The Propaganda Department: "What do you know, he’s already mastered the state of seeing horses in the eyes, without horses in the heart, such mosaics can’t stifle his imagination."
