I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

The dark sun was about to set, and the midday clouds, instead of bringing rain, disappeared as the sun dipped below the horizon.

Reed was hiding behind the wall, following two men who were talking.

Reed noticed that the two men seemed to be walking further and further into a secluded area, and the surrounding buildings were gradually decreasing.

As they chatted, they turned a corner and went inside, with Reed following slowly behind.

Red peeked inside and found there was no way out, only a wall.

When the two men suddenly turned around, Reed reacted quickly and hid again.

The two men suddenly looked around seriously, then mumbled something to the ground.

A section of the floor emitted a flash of white light, then vanished, revealing a staircase leading below.

The two went inside, and less than a second later the doors closed again.

Reed walked to the patch of ground that led underground and stepped on it, but there was no movement.

Reed instinctively wanted to grab his knife and smash it, but then he remembered Anlisa's advice not to alert the enemy.

Reed had no choice but to put the knife away again. He wanted to try and see if he could break it with his fist.

With a "bang," the stone floor didn't crack at all.

Although Reed is very strong, he hasn't yet achieved the ability to smash through rocky ground.

Red stood still and began to think of a solution.

[One minute later...]

"Forget it, let's just use a knife to smash it," Reed thought, unable to come up with anything else, and decided that simple and brutal methods were the best option.

Reed pulled out his large knife, gripped it with one hand, and slashed at the floor.

The broadsword cleaved a deep gash in the ground, through which the staircase could be seen.

Reed stomped on the floor a few times, and the hidden floor collapsed.

The collapsing stones made a loud noise as they hit the stairs.

Reed ignored it, kicked away the stone blocking his way, and went inside.

"Savage! Our leader kidnapped that shrew, won't that cause some trouble?"

"Tch, who cares! We've done this kind of thing before! Besides! I heard the leader has someone protecting him!"

"Exactly! Even if they want revenge, they need to find our hiding place first! Those useless soldiers still haven't found it, have they?"

"Alas! But I heard from outside that a strangely dressed man killed half of our people! The sissy our leader was tied up with seemed to know that man quite well."

"Tch! It's good that our leader hasn't settled scores with him yet! Besides, nobody outside is as powerful as him! Even if they were, so what? Could they find us?!"

"Exactly! Exactly! And with a bandage covering his eyes, who does he think he is!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of stones falling to the ground.

"Huh? What the hell? What's that noise?"

As Red was walking up the stairs, he thought to himself, "I accidentally kicked over a big rock earlier, and it seems like I made an even bigger noise."

(Whatever, that blonde woman surnamed An told me to keep quiet while following her, but she didn't say I had to keep quiet after I finished following her.)

At this moment, the gang members hiding underground all sensed something on the stairs.

Immediately, some people felt uneasy. One of them pulled his companion aside and said, "Has no one discovered our hideout yet?!"

"Very likely! Damn it, who were those two people who came back just now?! Are you blind? Didn't you notice someone was following you?!"

"Don't panic, everyone! The stairs are very narrow! If there are many of them, they will basically have to take turns!"

"We have the advantage!"

"That's right, if only one person discovers it, we'll kill him!"

After they finished speaking, everyone grabbed the weapons nearby and then took cover near the stairwell.

The footsteps on the stairs grew closer, and everyone's heartbeats grew louder.

They could already hear footsteps through the walls of the stairwell; they only needed to take two more steps to emerge.

The two gripped their weapons tightly, both watching the stairwell intently, ready to slash at anyone who appeared.

With a "snap!", a large knife suddenly burst forth from the wall.

"I..." Before one of them could finish speaking, half of his body was sliced ​​off by a large sword that protruded from the wall.

Then the broadsword moved to the left, accompanied by the sounds of breaking stone walls and cutting flesh.

Half of the people hiding on the left side of the stairwell wall were hacked to death, while those on the right were terrified.

As Reed approached the stairwell, his experience living in the back alleys and the faint creaking of the wall beside him told him someone was lying in ambush.

Then, without saying a word, Reed slammed his broadsword into the wall on the left.

The wall, perhaps because it was thin or old, was easily pierced, and with a sweeping motion, most of the people hiding on the left were killed.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"A dead man! Run, run, run!"

The remaining people on the left had the clearest view of the scene, and they were all instantly terrified.

They shouted and threw down their weapons, running around in all directions.

The person on the right, having lost all fighting spirit, joined the collapsing screams of the person on the left.

The people on the right, sensing the herd mentality, also fled in disarray.

But Reed wasn't about to let them get away with it; he walked to the top of the stairs and slashed at several of them with his knife.

Those people standing in a row were instantly cleaved in two.

Blood and organs gushed onto the ground, intestines spilled out, staining the ground red.

Those who witnessed this scene were terrified; it's no joke, some people genuinely fainted from fright.

Although they are bad people, and they dare to kill and steal, they have never seen such a scene in their entire lives!

Before, I was the one hitting others, so how come it's reversed now?

Some mentally strong individuals grabbed a weapon and slashed at Reed.

Reed caught the blade with his bare hand and then squeezed it tightly.

The blade shattered, but a trickle of blood flowed from Reed's palm.

When the man realized something was wrong, he tried to run away, but Reed immediately punched him in the temple.

Then blood started flowing from the other person's left ear. Now I won't have to hear those vulgarities anymore, that's great.

As Reed continued hacking away, he moved from the strangely smelling living room to another room.

To put it bluntly, it's a massacre; to put it more politely, it's a game of hide-and-seek.

They were hiding from Reed, who was looking for them; there was no other way to get up from this basement.

There was only the path Red took; as for why he was able to pass through the wall to get down there...

It's because that floorboard is enchanted with a potion that allows it to disappear at any time; as long as the correct command is given, the floorboard will vanish.

Then he'll jump down, say a slogan, and the ground will close again.

These potions that disappear at any time are actually quite expensive. Of course, such enchanted items that disappear at any time can be detected by classes like mages.

Unfortunately, the Gothic town is quite remote and has virtually no powerful magicians.

Everyone thought they could hide forever, but who would have thought an unexpected event would occur?

They had considered the possibility that someone might leak their message and they would be discovered, as well as the possibility that a powerful mage might find out, and even the possibility that their leader might betray them.

But to everyone's surprise, someone resorted to violence to demolish it!

One person thought to himself: Dude, aren't you going to try to solve the mystery?
