We immediately hear shuffling in the corridor accompanied by giggles. A topless bald man drenched in blood is seen pulling piles of corpses tied together across the corridor. 

 

*creak* 

 

...

 

The man looks into the room and sees no one. He continues his insanity and goes ahead. 

 

Jon and I come out of hiding from behind the desk and Jon heaves a sigh of relief. 

 

"What do we do?" Jon asks. 

 

"Wait a moment," I reply. 

 

A small orange pistol with a carving of a black skull on the circular barrel materialises mid-air. The curve white grip has tiny little holes, sucking in mana. The mana then forms into a bullet in the cartridges of the spinning cylinder, albeit taking some time, that can be countered by pouring mana into the gun to speed it up.

"That's a nice-looking gun," Jon says. 

 

"You bet. Let's go."

 

We get out of hiding and proceed carefully towards the exit. I hold the revolver up as we check from corner to corner. 

 

The hallway is covered with blood and splattered mashed bodies. The river of blood stains our shoes. 

 

The scene up the staircase isn't a pleasant one either with corpses hanging by the steps and railings. Fresh trails of blood drag up the stairs. 

 

"Did that guy...come through here?" Jon mumbles softly to himself behind me. 

 

"Most likely. But this is the only way up." 

 

"Ah! Okay." Jon says, surprised at my hearing. 

 

I push the piles of meat aside and walk up the puddles. We travel cautiously to the backdoor. We can now see it open. 

 

"Hahaha!! How do you like that bitch?"  A man's voice echoes when we are about to leave. 

Jon looks back. 

 

Small cries can be heard. 

 

"Hey. Let's go." I say. 

 

"It...sounded like that maniac...is with someone."  

 

"None of our business! We need to stop this whole thing before it gets out of hand." I say. 

 

Still, Jon walks to check it out. "It will only take a few minutes."

 

...

 

"Hah..." I sigh and join him. 

 

We follow the trail of blood that leads into the cafeteria. A woman at the other end is chained to a chair with tape around her mouth as the bloody man sways a head in front of her. Tears pour down her face both in fear and disgust. 

 

"Because of this cunt, you rejected me. Fucking hell." The maniac says and pulls the tape off her mouth. 

 

"Hah!! P-Please, let me live. I will do anything. Please please..." the woman says. 

 

"Kekeke... really anything?" 

 

The man takes a pile of meat from the bodies and shoves them in her mouth. 

 

"MPPGGHHH!!! ACK! ACK ACK!!"  

 

She swallows some and immediately spits out the rest. Her gag reflex kicks in and she throws up the meat. 

 

"HAHAHAHA!! IN LIFE AND DEATH! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER WITH THAT CUNT!"  The maniac celebrates. 

 

"Hey!"

Jon screams at the maniac. His sudden appearance erected a silence in the air. "Huh? There are still some rats alive?" The maniac says. 

 

"Please save me! Help!"  the woman pleads to Jon. Jon nods at her request and slips out a small wand from his coat. 

 

The maniac clicks his tongue and then smiles. He instantly appears behind Jon with his dagger up high. 

 

*BOOM! * 

 

Luckily,  I shot a plasma beam fast enough from a distance and burns a black, seething-hot hole into his skull. 

 

*Thud* 

 

"Hah...Huff huff..." Jon backs off. 

 

"Don't do bullshit like this again. Since he is the king of hell here, naturally he is strong." I say. 

 

"King of hell?"  

 

I point at the hundred corpses. That man was strong enough to be the final predator in this place. 

 

"Help!" the woman cries out. Jon goes ahead until I stop him. 

 

"What? She needs our help!"  Jon says. 

 

I put my finger on my lips and gesture to Jon to watch the woman. 

 

...

 

"Hey! What are the both of you doing...why the fuck are you just staring!" Her tone suddenly becomes aggressive. 

 

...

 

"JUST RELEASE ME SO I CAN FUCKING BITE A HOLE IN YOUR NECK!!"  She then screams when we ignore her. 

 

"Hey! We just saved you!"  Jon exclaims. 

 

"It's too late, she is infected," I reply. "She ate the meat, she's a goner like that man. Let's go."

 

"Wait! Wait! What's going on?" 

 

...

 

I sigh and grab a pulp of meat from the ground. I pull it into two and show Jon the inside. 

 

"Look carefully, what do you see?" 

 

Jon's eyes widen. "There's...something wiggling? Worms?"  

 

"Yes, those things infect and control humans to commit gruesome actions. Once infected, they also lay eggs throughout the body. So contact is certain death once the worm burrows itself." 

 

...

 

"Can we burn it with demonic mana?" Jon asks. 

 

"We can. It will die. That's why we demonic humans are immune...but if we are to try that on regular humans, we will kill both the human and the worms." 

 

Jon stares at the meat silently. 

 

"Is there no other way?" 

 

"Not one that I know of." 

 

...

 

Jon sighs and heads for the exit. "Let's go." 

 

I smile. "Wise choice."
