Chairwoman [ author ]

Let's keep going 😁

------------

The guards and scientists are frozen in fear. Nobody moves. Ruth could even hear their heart beats through his acute senses. A scientist, however, is slowly moving towards a computer terminal, upon reaching, he quickly entered some commands and click enter

The terminal lets out a loud DING

"Terminal report to head quaters, subject M84 is currently active and is extremely hostile. Sending backup"

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*look towards that scientist*

？？？

SCIENTIST: *notice his glare, scared*

？？？

SCIENTIST: *quickly starts typing something else*

Ruth's bloodlust makes him want to kill the scientist

WOOSH

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*moves with lightening speed and kicked him in the stomach before bringing down his fist on the scientist's head*

？？？

SCIENTIST: *head goes lump on the keyboard, which is playing emerged alarm*

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*staring at the lifeless body of the scientist*

The sirens are blaring, it's quite apparent that backup is on it's way

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*sees the security guards coming in*

The guards are now taking positions to surround and attack Ruth. They are clearly on alert and are quite heavily armed, seeming ready to fight anytime

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

[ QUEST COMPLETE : THE SECURITY BREACH ] REWARDS: +10 energy, +25 HP A secret for had been unveiled

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

💭 secret door?

A secret door has been unveiled near where the scientist's body lies. It was hidden well and now Ruth could see it. The secret door appears to be a trap door and it leads to another floor.

It could be an evacuation route for the scientists or a research area

[ Would you like to check out the secret door? Y / N ]

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

💭 Yes

The trap door opens and Ruth descends through the ladder. After a few steps, the ladder ends, and there are stairs instead. There are inscriptions carved on the stone wall beside the stairs. The stairs descend deeper into the foundation

[ HINT : The stairs lead to the lab's darkest secret. If it ever gets discovered, the lab will be closed and sealed forever. The lab director can't let that happen........]

The stairway leads to a long hallway. At the end of the hallway, there is a door.

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*slowly approch the door*

The door is locked

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*peak inside the room from the crack in the door*

It's pitch black, suddenly, an ominous growling coming from within the pitch black room could be heard, although nothing could be seen inside the room but....... the growling sounds..... familiar to Ruth

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

💭 it sounds....familiar......why ?

The growling gets louder, although Ruth still can't tell what it is yet

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*break the door open*

Inside, a pair of two eyes shining red could be seen

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*goes closer*

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

💭 an animal?.......no a human?....no no what..... What is this creatures?

It's body is completely dark black and its eyes are shining red, as it emerges from the shadows, it has for arms

[ You have found an unknown creature inside the room. You have no idea why the researchers kept this unknown creature inside the lab? ]

That unknown creature stares at Ruth for a while, but it doesn't seem hostile. The creature slowly approaches Ruth. It looks at Ruth as of asking to be petted. It looks at Ruth with its shiny red eyes, like a little puppy, waiting for him to make the first move

Ruth Malloy [ MC ]

*a small smile emerges at his face, pet it*
