Chapter 4 4. Mysterious phantom
The prisoner lost his mind and banged against the iron door of the prison crazily. The fence shook, and the bang-dong-dong... resounded throughout the corridor.
"Ah!" Several pairs of arms stretched out from the gap between the iron doors, claws grabbing randomly, the black shadow chased the soul for life, roared, and stared at Su Hong with blood-red eyes.
Su Hong took heavy steps, his armor swayed and rubbed, making a clanging sound. He came to the cell door and stabbed out.
The blade pierced the black robe with a crisp sound, but was blocked by the jailer's armor.
The sharp claws of the prisoner of the wronged soul also fell on Su Hong, making a few clanging sounds with very little force, as if he was scratching an itch.
The corners of Su Hong's mouth hidden under the iron bucket helmet were slightly raised. He held the sharp knife behind his back and stabbed the nearest prisoner of wronged souls more than a dozen times.
"You defeated the black-robed jailer and gained experience."
"You have gained 'Disaster Potential'*1."
"You obtained the jailer's training armor (ordinary) with broken 'armor'."
"ah!"
The companions were wiped out, the black shadow screamed in fear, the black robe floated up, turned around and fled towards the end of the corridor with the iron cage lantern.
"Are monsters afraid too?"
After the lights left, the prison iron doors disappeared from both sides of the corridor. The dangerous atmosphere gradually faded away, and Su Hong chased after him.
The sharp knife stabbed the black shadow randomly, sparks flew out, the black shadow howled, and the black robe and tattered armor fell to the ground.
"You defeated the black-robed jailer and gained experience."
"You have gained 'Disaster Potential'*1."
"You obtained the jailer's training armor (ordinary) with broken 'armor'."
"The current disaster level is 2."
In an instant, Su Hong's heart beat faster, and warmth flowed into his limbs. Unknowingly, he felt that the heavy armor became much lighter, and his pursuit gradually accelerated.
The light passed through the corridor, and the doors on both sides turned into prison iron doors. When the survivors hiding inside saw the black shadow return, their eyes widened and they trembled.
What's strange is that this time, the black shadow seems to be in a hurry, and the terrifying figure is a little embarrassed.
Before the survivors could get out of their fear, a humanoid monster wearing heavy iron armor passed through and was actually chasing the black shadow.
The sword rose and fell, the innocent soul dissipated, and the black robe wrapped around the armor hit the floor with a dull sound.
"The monster...is having internal strife?"
Su Hong and the shadow chased each other until they reached the stairwell. With a clang, the last prisoner disappeared and the iron cage lantern fell to the ground.
"You defeated the black-robed jailer and gained experience."
"You have gained 'Disaster Potential'*1."
"You obtained the jailer's training armor (ordinary) with broken 'armor'."
"You obtained the 'disaster item' Iron Cage Lantern."
"If a disaster item is found, should it be refined?"
He ignored the game prompt, picked up the lantern, turned around and returned to the corridor.
The lantern light shone on the damp and yellowed wall, which was dark and obscure. There was no illusion of prison, and it seemed like an inconspicuous ordinary object in his hand.
Unfortunately, he can't use disaster items normally like the disaster monster.
These innocent souls were not too scary, far behind the monsters in Jinshui Building, and not even as great as the pressure Xue Jing put on him. He guessed that there should be many survivors in the community.
There are four eight-story unit buildings in the Garden Community. There are also convenience stores, leisure plazas, parking lots, etc. downstairs. The community is not big. On weekdays, you won’t see many young people. Only uncles and aunts are chatting in the square downstairs. chat.
His eyes swept across the messy corridor floor, where bloodstains and footprints were all over the floor. There were a total of eight broken jailer training armors and three victim corpses on the ground.
The deceased were a high school student and two middle-aged men.
After all, they are neighbors, and Su Hong still has some impressions of them. Next time he enters the simulation game, if he moves quickly, he might still be able to see them alive.
The quality of the jailer's training armor on the ground was lower than the one he was wearing. Without even taking a glance, he went back to the house to check the iron cage lantern.
"If a disaster item is found, should it be refined?"
"Refining."
The green soup crucible appeared, Gulu bubbled, the iron cage lantern fell into it, and the light was gradually swallowed up.
When Su Hong picked up the iron cage lantern again, the flame inside had gone out.
"The refining was successful and I obtained the disaster talent (temporary): Mysterious Phantom."
"Mysterious phantom (normal): There seems to be some mysterious phantom hidden in your sight. There is a very small probability of discovering the hidden monster. The stronger the monster's disaster aura, the higher the probability of discovery."
Su Hong suddenly felt his eyes were a little dry. He blinked and his eyes swayed. The world seemed to be different from before.
Seems more red?
He found that the new talent did not seem to be of much use. There was really a powerful disaster monster. There was no need to squat on it. It would not take much effort to just rush over and stifle him.
Maybe he even dislikes his flesh and teeth.
"View personal information."
【Su Hong】
[Disaster level: current world] [Disaster level: level 2]

[Disaster Skill: None]
[Disaster Equipment: Broken Jailer Training Armor (Normal+). The training heavy armor equipped by Prison City Jailers is just a bit too thick and seems to be more used to prevent being beaten. 】
When the information appeared, Su Hong's eyes fell on the disaster level.
Although he is not fat, he usually lacks exercise. Others have eight-pack abs, but he only has one, and they feel soft to the touch.
But now, the increase in disaster level has made him stronger. He can touch his abdomen and vaguely feel the outline of his muscles.
After summarizing the harvest, Su Hong held the broken kitchen knife and walked towards the stairwell.
The floor where his home is located is the seventh floor, and it is not yet certain whether something happened on other floors.
Before he could reach the stairwell, a white-haired old man tremblingly opened the door.
"Hiro, get off...it seems there are monsters down there. You'd better not go and wait for the police to come."
Su Hong paused, and he could vaguely smell the faint smell of urine.
"Uncle Feng, please hide well and don't come out."
"I'm just going down to take a look."
Disasters spread throughout the city, and everyone is in danger. It is impossible to wait for support. The only one he can rely on is himself.
Under the old man's gaze, Su Hong's figure was gradually swallowed up by darkness.
As soon as he got down to the fifth floor, the strong smell of blood hit his nostrils. Su Hong's eyes fell on the dark corridor. Several blood stains spread from the corridor to the stairs, with no end in sight.
Apparently someone was dragged down by the monster.
He took a deep breath, raised his mental alertness, and continued walking down.
The whole building was dark and silent, like a huge mouth of an abyss swallowing people's sanity, and the smell of blood in the corridor became stronger and stronger.
As his footsteps fell, Su Hong seemed to have stepped on something soft.
Looking down, his face turned a little ugly.
A severed arm.
Covered with bite marks, he lay quietly in a pool of blood.
He realized that there might be more than one victim, and the monster downstairs was not as simple as he thought.
"Ta, ta, ta..."
Su Hong stepped on the plasma and went down to the third floor.
Darkness filled the window, covering everything, and the faint roar of monsters could be heard.
He looked toward the corridor and his eyes narrowed sharply.
There were more than a dozen broken corpses stacked on top of each other in the long corridor, with broken limbs and broken arms lying on the ground, dyeing the floor blood red. The iron torch at the end burned with a faint blue light, and a deep dungeon door appeared in front of him.
"Wait, where's the monster?"
"Don't tell me?!"
Su Hong suddenly felt wary and raised his head suddenly. A monster with exposed rotten black muscles and twisted limbs crawling on the ceiling roared.
[Rotting corpses in the sewers of Prison City]
[Disaster level: present world]
[Disaster Level: Level 4]
[Disaster Skill: Ghoul's Fang (Normal+), fangs with the smell of rotting corpses, which can make prey rot and die in pain. 】
[Disaster Equipment: None]
Disaster level 4? !
A black shadow flashed before Su Hong's eyes, and then he was unprepared and pushed to the ground by a huge force.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The corpse's claws hit the iron barrel's armor, making several dents.
Under the suppression of the terrifying power, he was unable to resist at all when the monster attacked him.
The corpse screamed and forcibly opened the helmet, lowered his head and bit it.
He felt a chill on his neck.
pain! !
The fangs pierced into the flesh and blood, Su Hong's consciousness gradually became hazy, he couldn't lift his strength, and his vision fell into darkness.
