Chapter 15 A Cursed Space

Because he had personally experienced it once before at Stormwind Manor, Suren wasn't very surprised this time when he watched the surrounding scenery suddenly change.

"The basement of this house... is actually a 'cursed space'?"

Suren frowned.

Suddenly arriving in a strange scene from the basement of 88 Ginkgo Street, he suddenly understood why the blind man's body, the previous tenant, had disappeared.

Unsurprisingly, it had been sucked into this special space.

The usual explanation for a "cursed space" is that it's a special space formed over time by the overflow of energy from ancient and powerful cursed objects (it is, but not entirely), but the specific cause has not been fully deciphered to this day.

It is a kind of secondary space, like a storage ring, containing certain special laws, like bubbles in the air. It can also be understood as a "game instance," with a plot and monsters.

The scene in the space is either a memory fragment of the original owner of the cursed object's life, or a nightmare, or a life-and-death experience... usually very strange and full of crises.

Moreover, once you enter, it means you can only get out alive by finding the correct way to clear the level, otherwise you will be trapped here forever.

Of course, after successfully breaking through, you may be able to see the "powerful cursed object" that created the special space.

.......

"A cursed space triggered by a single thought... that's a bit weird."

Although he was inexplicably caught in a cursed space, Suren immediately realized something.

The entrance to a typical "cursed space" is easy to identify, usually a swirling black light gate, or some kind of mirage. You only get sucked in when you get within a certain distance.

But this one was obviously special.

It depended on what you thought.

If Suren hadn't thought about the anomalies of the house before and just been an ordinary tenant, there probably wouldn't have been a problem.

It was because he thought about it that he triggered this special entry condition.

As the Explanation from Eyes of Omniscience said: "It only exists when you realize it exists."

However, Suren's personality allowed him to calm down instantly.

If this space was certain death, panicking was purely superfluous.

If there was a way to break the situation, calmness would instead give him a greater chance of survival.

Like the beginning of countless horror games in the past, Suren instantly entered a state of thought. He calmly recalled all the useful clues in his mind, observing everything in front of him.

Last time in the cursed space at Stormwind Manor, the biggest Boss was Miss Pestoya, a "Ghost-type". Because of his silver tongue, he successfully cleared the level and was sent out.

With that experience, Suren felt that he could always find a way to break the situation.

Either by wisdom, or by gun.

This was a place that looked like a hospital, the walls around were painted white, and there were iron chairs outside the consulting rooms. There were no windows, and there were rooms on both sides. The light was dim and bright, and the night wind roared like ghosts, just like a scene in a horror movie.

He felt the gun at his waist was still there, and the storage ring on his finger had also been brought in, which was good news.

He also used "Eyes of Omniscience" to look at the things around him, and they could be identified normally, just like the real world.

Like: [Damaged wall tiles], [Hexagonal gas lamp], [Rusty iron chair], [A pile of moldy dog ​​shit]...

After observing in place for a while, Suren didn't find any useful information.

But no matter where you looked, this corridor was eerily quiet.

Suren didn't move around randomly.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said to himself: "If I am now in a special space, then Eyes of Omniscience should be able to show something..."

Thinking of this, Suren spread out his pupils and identified everything in his sight as a "single item".

The next second, he saw different identification results.

[A special scene condensed by an obsession]

Description: This is a scene from the inpatient department of Havel Hospital in Old Lundon City a thousand years ago;

How to break the situation: Find the owner of this resentment, recite its full name, and you can break free from this obsession.

.......

"It seems like I've found a way to clear the level?"

Suren raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the prompt in front of him.

Eyes of Omniscience really didn't disappoint, directly telling him how to leave this cursed space.

But after thinking about it carefully, he found something was wrong again.

"Recite the 'full name' of the owner of the obsession? This... seems to be the key."

Suren keenly captured some key points.

The identification had found a way to clear the level, but because he hadn't seen it, Eyes of Omniscience didn't know what the name of the resentful owner was.

Of course, he could also take a gamble and use identification on the Great Boss face to face. See if it kills himself first, or if he recites its name first.

Moreover, if the identification showed a [Human] or [Resentment] type introduction instead of a name, Suren felt that he would probably die on the spot.

"I remember the scene I saw before was called 'Harvel's Resentment Morgue'? Is the Great Boss now in the morgue?"

Suren pondered for a moment, stood in place for twenty seconds, and then probably knew what he was going to do next.

He was quite familiar with this opening.

Now that he knew the way to break the situation, the best option was to find clues elsewhere in the hospital, know the full name of the "Owner of Resentment", and then recite it to get out.

The worst case scenario was that he had to go to the morgue and face the Great Boss face to face.

An even worse situation than the worst was that the Great Boss would come out and wander around the world, making a sudden appearance...

.......

"If the owner of resentment in this space is as intelligent as Pestoya, then clearing the level might not be so troublesome. If it's a murderous monster... it depends on luck."

Suren didn't dare to be careless.

The previous blind tenant was from the inner city.

The morgue was a very key word, usually that kind of place was in the lowest level of the hospital.

Suren didn't plan to go there directly.

His goal was also very clear, he planned to go to the archives or some duty room to take a look. Although this hospital was a thousand years old, judging from the scale of the hospital, there should be many employees, and there was a high probability that there would be some kind of scheduling management system. Finding today's duty roster would probably tell him who was in the hospital.

The long corridor was empty, the gas lamps flickered on and off, and there seemed to be a blur in his vision as if his eyes were covered by black gauze.

Suren drew his gun, lowered his breathing, and tried not to make any noise.

He quietly walked to the door of a ward and forgot to look inside through the small glass on the door. There were seven or eight beds covered with white sheets in the ward, but it was empty.

There was a small card hanging on the door with the name: Duty Nurse Janice George.

The hospital was eerily quiet.

"That's not right... how could there be no one."

Suren glanced at the ward and then at the nurse station not far away, there was no one there. "Even in a horror movie, there should be zombies or ghosts or something, right?"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, his eyes suddenly sharpened and he keenly noticed something.

Without any hesitation, he drew his gun and pulled the trigger towards his back.

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

Two quick and slight gunshots broke the eerie silence.

Because the [Blue Ghost] had a square box muzzle suppressor installed, the sound wasn't harsh, and it didn't travel far in this confined corridor.

"Huh..."

After firing two shots in a row, Suren focused his vision and saw two bullets embedded in the wall, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Didn't hit?"

Instantly the atmosphere became a little weird.

His pupils shrank slightly, his back against the wall, his eyes sharply scanning the empty corridor in front of him.

Suren remembered very clearly that he had just seen a figure in the reflection on the glass of the ward door, a female nurse with a blue face, black eyes, and blood all over her body, holding a knife, standing diagonally behind him...

That's why he instinctively fired his gun, but he didn't expect to miss the target.

Moreover, not only did he not hit it, but the female nurse with the knife disappeared?

.......

"Could it be a 'Ghost-type'?"

Suren's face was slightly solemn.
