In the dark basement, except for Gu An's footsteps, there was no other sound. It was so quiet that it made people feel depressed.

It feels a bit scary.

Gu An held the gun in his hand and glanced around involuntarily. From time to time, he would suddenly turn his head to look behind him.

There was obviously nothing, but Gu An always felt like there was something nearby staring at him with eyes.

This weird feeling like a light on his back made Gu An's back sweat a little.

"This feels really uncomfortable. Wait, is there something really staring at me?"

Gu An breathed out softly, feeling that he couldn't bear it anymore.

He had only been walking in this dark basement for less than two or three minutes, and the strange feeling that something was staring at Gu An from behind became more and more intense.

After thinking about it, Gu An had an idea in his mind. He was going to turn off the flashlight on the pistol and plunge himself into darkness to see if he could lure out the thing that he didn't know if it really existed.

If something was really drawn out, Gu An would activate the lighting card that he had not used up last time to see what thing was peeking at him.

If there are no monsters, then Gu An can also ease his mind.

However, if there is really a monster, through the sudden attack of the lighting card, Gu An can clearly see the appearance of the monster. After all, unknown things are the most terrifying, and it will be much better to see the appearance.

I really saw the monster who liked to peek. No matter how scary the monster was, Gu An could still understand it in his heart.

Okay, just do it!

Just do it. Gu An felt that his plan was quite feasible, so he stopped immediately. It happened that Gu An's current position was in a position where there was no kerosene lamp.

As he extinguished the flashlight on his pistol, he was immediately enveloped in darkness, the kind of darkness that made him unable to see even his fingers.

Standing quietly, Gu An relaxed his breathing and concentrated on being ready to activate the lighting card at any time.

Unable to see clearly in the dark, Gu An simply closed his eyes and listened carefully with his ears, silently feeling whether there were other sounds around him.

Originally, Gu An could only hear his own slight breathing in the darkness, but after a while, Gu An felt that he clearly heard another heavy breathing sound.

Damn! There really is something!

Gu An tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, his finger slightly resting on the trigger. All the muscles in his body tightened, and the adrenaline in his body began to secrete crazily.

In the darkness, Gu An gently held his breath and listened carefully to the faint wheezing sound. Slowly, in addition to the wheezing sound, subtle footsteps appeared.

That thing is coming towards me?

Gu An maintained his breathless and concentrated state, and just listened to the rustling footsteps approaching him little by little.

Just when the gasping sound reached a place not far from Gu An's back, Gu An finally moved.

"Activate lighting card!!!"

“Ho ho ho~~~”

Following Gu An's loud shout, bright light radiated outwards with him as the center, forming a fifteen-meter-diameter aperture, and then a shrill and painful roar came from behind Gu An.

Without any hesitation, Gu An instantly raised his gun and turned his head to look behind him. Behind him was a strange creature that was only half a man tall.

Its upper body looks a bit like a black mouse, but its lower body has two yellow bird legs that are as thin as chopsticks but very long. However, its claws are particularly long, five or six centimeters long and look very sharp.

Shrouded in light, the half-mouse, half-bird creature screamed miserably, with two streaks of dark green blood flowing out from under its eye sockets. Its arms were almost as long as its body, and also had claws, almost three in length.

Four centimeters.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Gu An pulled the trigger and instantly emptied the bullets in the pistol. However, the effect of ordinary bullets was weak and did not cause fatal damage to the monster at all.

Damn it, if my demon-slaying sword is still here...

Complaining in his heart, Gu An did not waste any more bullets. He exchanged it for an enhanced grenade in the system's exchange store. After pulling the safety button, Gu An threw the grenade at the injured monster that had not yet recovered.

Then he turned around and ran away.

"Boom~~~"

A loud bang came from behind. Gu An, who was covering his ears, was shaken by the roar of the explosion. He did not look back, but kept running with his head buried.

Holding a pistol with a flashlight, Gu An ran as hard as he could while carefully observing whether there were stairs ahead that could leave the basement.

However, before he could find the stairs leaving the basement, Gu An heard rapid breathing and messy footsteps behind him.

Is that the monster catching up?

The fifteen seconds of the lighting card's effectiveness had long since expired. Gu An only had the illuminated pistol in his hand. He turned his head and used the flashlight to illuminate it.

As a result, what caught up was indeed the monster whose eyes were seriously injured, but at this time, the monster's whole body was completely charred and black, and it looked like a big rat with most of its black fur burned off by fire.

Moreover, the rat monster's legs were also injured by the explosion. It limped when running and was not particularly fast.

"You still dare to come? I'm so embarrassed. If my demon-slaying sword wasn't there... hmm? That's my demon-slaying sword?!"

Gu An, who was originally very unhappy about being chased, suddenly saw his demon-slaying sword, Mauser pistol, and revolver Silver Flower on a table in front of him.

"OK!"

Gu An saw his two pistols and demon-slaying sword, and an excited smile appeared on his face. He glanced at the rat monster groping behind him with a serious look.

Picking up his revolver, Silver Flower, Gu An took out the bullet nest and took a look, confirming that it still contained four pure silver bullets. The smile on his face became even brighter.

"Bang! Bang!"

With the sound of two gunshots, the running rat monster was directly hit by two slender bird legs, and its body slid forward with inertia.

"Snapped!"

"brush--"

Gu An stepped on the back of the sliding rat monster with his foot, then raised his sword and slashed it down instantly with a cold light.

Immediately, the head of the rat monster fell to the ground, rolled a few times and stopped aside. Dark green blood spurted out from the rat monster's neck, and green smoke erupted after touching the ground.

Seeing the smoke, Gu An quickly bought a gas mask from the system and put it on.

Oh, I don’t know whether to live or die.

After killing this disgusting rat monster and feeling the warmth coming from the demon-slaying sword, Gu An finally felt better, and even the depressed mood of being kidnapped was a little better.

However, when he thought of those two self-righteous women, Paji and Alyssa, Gu An felt unhappy.

No matter what purpose Paji had in bringing Gu An to this basement, Gu An was prepared to let them know that they had angered someone they shouldn't have angered.
