Chapter 30 - Midnight party: Dr.X

Chapter 30: Dr. X


Xiangnu left angrily, and after entering the door of apartment 253 with visibly low air pressure, he hid in the shadow behind the door and looked back at the car parked outside the apartment.


It’s not a party that only missionaries and the murderer will attend… Yu Su will also attend, he belongs to the ‘monster’.


That is to say, in addition to the mission and the murderer to be caught by the Inspectorate, there will be real monsters in this party, and there may even be a lot of them.


Xiangnu thought of this, and his expression became sullen. He was as unhappy as when he discovered the monsters in the dungeon and there was also Yu Su’s involvement.


He also obviously received the invitation, but why didn’t he tell himself in the first place?


Yu Su, what is he going to do?


Xiangnu raised his hand and pressed his lips in the dark, thinking angrily, he let him kiss in vain for a long time.


Xiangnu sighed, turned, and walked into the apartment.


The apartment did not have a hall as soon as you entered it, behind the door was a narrow passage and stairs.


There was no light in the aisles on the first floor, and the darkness gave people a very barren feeling.


A layer of dim light came in from the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, sprinkled on the stairs, and the surface could play the role of guiding the way.


Xiang Nu lowered his eyes, tightened his neckline, stepped on the stairs walked up silently, and then saw the scene on the second floor.


It was a long row of corridors. There was a window at the end of the corridor on both sides. The blurry light and shadow poured in from the window. Coupled with the light above Xiangnu’s head, people could barely see the layout of the corridor on this floor.


The apartment looked very big from the outside, but the inside was far more spacious than it looked on the outside. Xiang Nu reasonably suspected that the inside of this apartment may be connected to a different dimension space.


The promenade was very long, the windows at the end were only the size of a palm in the eyes of Xiangnu who was far away.


At both ends of the corridor, there were countless closed doors. Xiangnu looked from both sides, walked into the corridor on the left, and stopped in front of the first room.


Although the light was very dark, giving people a feeling of poor quality, in fact, the decoration of this floor was very beautiful. The walls are covered with flat and smooth tiles. The touch felt as smooth as jade, seamless. The door was also very beautifully made from good material because the environment here was too dark, he couldn’t see the specific color of the door, it was somewhat reddish brown.


On the door was a house number with No. 2-003 written on it, and a line of words below it, which was covered by a sliding whiteboard. Xiangnu was about to open the whiteboard, but there was a startled shout from his right hand. In the silent corridor, it was very loud, “Hey!”


Xiangnu’s hands trembled, his head tilted slightly, and he looked in the direction from which the voice came.


There stood a man and a woman, dressed as demons, wearing exaggerated red and black costumes, with two sharp horns on the top of their heads, and their faces were painted with evil lines, because the lines on their faces were so heavy that other people couldn’t see what they really looked like.


Xiangnu didn’t move, just stared at them silently with his face slightly sideways.


From the perspective of the two demons, they couldn’t see Xiangnu’s face, because most of his face was covered by the brim of his hat, they could only see Xiangnu’s pointed chin and thin and sharp lips.


Xiang slave’s dress is not out of the ordinary, it can even be said to be very solemn, giving the pair of demon men and women a very strange feeling.


They looked at each other and saw that Xiangnu just tilted his head to look at them but had no other reaction. The female demon quietly took a step back and walked up to the third floor, leaving the male demon to question Xiangnu: “Hey, who are you? What are you doing in front of the room, you forgot what the chief of the Inspectorate said, don’t stay on the second floor!”


The male demon looked at his face and said coldly, “Knowingly committing a crime, are you… the murderer to be arrested at this party?”


Xiangnu folded his arms under his coat and folded his chest, and he sneered lowly.


At this time, the female demon also stepped down the stairs and said, “Sir c016, you said before that all the guests who came to the party were to stay on the third floor and were not allowed to stay on the second floor, but when I picked up my companion, I saw a man standing in front of a room on the second floor. He stood for a long time without moving, his behavior was very strange, I would like to ask you to check his identity.”


Xiangnu frowned slightly and figured out what was with this couple.


This man and woman should be a pair of partners. They both received the task of the cross-dressing party. To be on the safe side, the two entered the party in batches. The female demon entered the party first and consulted the inspector who held the party for some rules and prohibitions. After getting permission, she came down to pick up her male companion. The two stayed in and out of the apartment in batches and collected information together.


The female demon had received an order from the inspector not to stay on the second floor before, and she was going to go directly to the third floor with her male companion, but in the process, she saw him, who was staying on the second floor.


Based on the principle of catching the wrong person rather than letting him go, the female devil approached Inspector C061 and reported Xuangnu to him.


If Xiangnu was the murderer they wanted to arrest, it was good, even if not, he was also their competitor, and it was not a loss for them to get rid of this opponent in advance.


He had someone to rely on so he was not panicking about the arrival of the inspector, but he was a little wary because when the pair of male and female demons appeared, he did not hear any movement!


Xiangnu had always believed that his four senses were extremely strong, his hearing extremely acute, and he was confident that anyone approaching could be detected by him, but now he realized that he was still too careless.


He had to be careful, otherwise, you wouldn’t even know it if you were killed by the murderer outside the party.


Xiangnu thought quietly, Inspector c016 followed the female demon down the stairs.


The inspector didn’t look very good. He looked upright, wearing a close-fitting army green uniform, with a straight waist holding a gun with white gloves. He looked very serious.


The female demon identified c016: “It’s this person.”


c016 looked blankly at the Xuang Nu wearing Yu Su’s coat, looking sometimes dissatisfied, sometimes bewildered.


Xiang Nu slightly raised the brim of his hat, saw the change in c016’s expression, and knew that he had made a steady move.


He flicked his collar lightly and commanded coldly, “Take me to the third floor.”


c016 subconsciously stood at attention and responded, “Yes, my lord!”


After responding, c016’s expression was suddenly tangled up, he stealthily stole a glance in the direction of Xiang Nu, biting his lips slightly, his expression gradually stabilized and became calm.


C016 led the way, Xiangnu followed him to the third floor, and when he passed by the male and female demons, his footsteps paused, his thin lips twitched strangely, the male and female demons trembled and their faces turned pale.


“Don’t… stay.”


Xiangnu said this, his voice floated like catkins, and it dissipated as soon as the breeze blew.


The male and female demons hurried up the stairs and huddled together, trying to maximize the distance between them and Xuangnu.


The two of them regretted it a bit. Never expected that they would kick the iron plate on the first try. This person was not a tasker at all, but an inspector, and he was an inspector with a high status!


The men and women dressed as demons regretted it very much, and Xuangnu who was mistaken for a big man pursed his lips and smiled softly. This result was unexpected but reasonable.


The purpose of Xiangnu’s first dungeon, Sent to Prison, was the Old Capital Prison. Yu Su was a monster in the Old Capital Prison. Currently, it was known that there was a very powerful existence in the Old Capital Prison, whose position was the Warden.


But in the flight attendant’s diary, the flight attendant did not think that Yu Su was the warden.


There are two possibilities, one was that Yu Su was indeed not the warden, and the other was that the status of the flight attendant was not high, maybe he had never seen the warden at all, and naturally, it was impossible to link  Yu Su and the warden.


Xiangnu didn’t know what kind of situation Yu Su was in, but it was certain that even if Yu Su was not the warden, his status in the old capital prison should not be low.


The address of the Inspector’s Office for the party was on Old Capital Road. Such a coincidence made Xiang slaves wonder if there was any connection between the Inspector’s Office and the Old Capital Prison.


If there was really a special connection, Xiangnu believed that the existence of the prison should be higher than that of the Inspector’s Office. After all, in the copy log, the flight attendants highly respected the old capital prison, and the Inspector’s Office also uses the word ‘the most terrifying’ to describe the old capital prison.


After some deliberation, Xiangnu chose to borrow Yu Su’s coat. There was also Yu Su’s nameplate on his coat. Xiangnu wanted to see if the clothes would give him extra surprises, luckily, he made the right bet.


Xiangnu could feel it. Inspector c016 noticed he had mistaken his identity, but Yu Su’s clothes were too powerful. After hesitating for a long time, Inspector c016 chose to keep silent and let Xiangnu wear Yu Su’s clothes, letting him conveniently use Yu Su’s identity.


The corners of Xiang Nu’s lips contained a shallow smile, and under the leadership of c016, he walked into the third floor of the party with his head held high and his demeanor in a relaxed manner.


The party covered a large area, and it was not as cold and dark as the second floor. Bright and gorgeous crystal lamps hung from the resplendent dome, the floor had champagne-colored tiles, and there were eight stone pillars of the thickness of two people hugging each other.


The long tables covered with red velvet cloth were lined up in order in the living room, and waiters with drooping eyes were holding trays and placing fruit, cakes, barbecue, seafood, and other rich and delicious food on the table according to the types.


There was a large stage covered in red velvet cloth in the center of the party venue, but there was no arrangement on the stage for the time being, only a standing microphone was placed.


Under the stage, around the stone pillars, there were many sofas for resting at the party.


Above the party venue, there was a fourth floor, wrapping the party venue and sharing the same dome with the party venue on the third floor. It was surrounded by a layer of railings. People on the fourth floor could stand on the railings, watching the movement below.


Xiangnu took off the brim of his hat, revealing his too-glamorous and sharp cheeks, and his long and narrow eyes gave a very creepy and terrifying feeling.


There were already many missionaries in the party. They didn’t dare to look at Xiangnu and c016, so they turned their obscure searching eyes to the timid male and female demons behind them and took this opportunity to look at Xuangnu out of the corner of their eyes. 


Xiang Nu looked back calmly and indifferently and didn’t care that his appearance was exposed in front of everyone. His eyes nakedly passed over faces one by one, taking all the changes in everyone’s expression. 


Of course, including c016 and the inspectors patrolling the edge of the party.


They looked at Xuangnu with a tangled expression. They wanted to question but not daring to, but unable to turn a blind eye to Xiangnu’s identity, watching Xiangnu take over Yu Su’s identity and put up the official’s record in a dignified manner, their expressions were quite amusing.


Xiangnu was really curious about Yu Su’s identity. What kind of existence would he have that would let these inspectors know that Xiangnu was a fake, but they didn’t even dare to question him?


Xiangnu looked at the expressions of the taskers at the party and saw that their expressions bore surprises and fears. For the time being, they didn’t find any of them acting particularly strange, so he withdrew their eyes.


The pair of demons who came up behind them had long since sneaked away around the corner.


Seeing that there was no one around, Xiangnu lowered his voice and ordered to c016, “Go to the fourth floor.”


c016 didn’t move, looked at Xiangnu with a strange look, and smiled inexplicably, “Only adults with golden invitations can go to the fourth floor.”


Xiang Nu’s eyebrows jumped a little as he looked up and observed the environment, his mood a little heavy.


Yu Su was a ‘monster’, he was holding a golden invitation card, on the fourth floor, while the taskers were holding a silver invitation card, located on the third floor.


The location of the fourth floor made it easy to see the bustling on the third floor. Everything that was about to happen on the third floor was like a drama that would be performed live, and the fourth floor was the audience watching.


Xiangnu hated being manipulated and did not want to appear on this stage as an actor.


With lowered eyebrows, his fingertips crossed the nameplate, and he asked casually, “Are you sure… you want to ask me for an invitation?”


His voice suddenly became colder, and his eyes slanted toward him with a cold light, which was extremely dangerous.


The emotions in c016’s eyes kept struggling, but finally, he still bent down respectfully and replied, “Your Excellency’s arrival is a supreme honor for the Inspector’s Office, and you can stay anywhere you like. Your Excellency, please come with me.”


Only then did Xiangnu withdraw his threatening gaze, but his face was still expressionless, and there was no smugness or fluctuation on his face.


Inspector c016 led the way in front, leading Xuangu out of sight of the taskers on the third floor and entering the fourth floor. The fourth floor surrounded the third floor in a circle, and there was a room in each of the four directions. It was large, the windows and doors were open, and the rooms in the west and south were all occupied.


Sitting in the western room was a woman with a terrifying and gigantic stature. Her hair was made up of venomous snakes, just like the Medusa in myths and legends, but she did not have the beauty and figure of Medusa. Her face was blue and gray, with huge fangs sticking out of his mouth, and the snake’s head was splitting open, it slowly licked the tips of its fangs.


She was wearing a gorgeous red tutu skirt… could be assumed to be red because the color distribution on the skirt was irregular, some places were slightly lighter, and some places were dark and almost dark red. A good tailor would not make such a poor color-dyed dress decorated with countless jewels.


The woman’s skirt was very puffy, it was stretched almost one meter high, and the skirt was bulging, something was always moving, Xuangnu didn’t dare to look at it. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced a few times and saw a few dark tentacles emanating from it, sticking out under the skirt.


The appearance of the person sitting in the room in the south room was more ordinary and simple than the woman in the west room, but after seeing his attire, Xiangnu is far more nervous and worried than facing the woman in the western position. 


Because the man in the southern room was wearing a Taoist robe, and the crown of his hair was very familiar. In the center of the crown, there was a hollow lotus-like pattern, which was exactly the same as the Tianyanzong logo in Xuanji’s memory.


Xiangnu recalled Yu Su’s solemn expression when he saw him taking on this task, and at that time he felt that Yu Su’s behavior was too strange.


At first, Xiangnu thought it was because this dungeon was difficult, but now that he thought about it, he must have known that monsters related to the dungeon of the ‘Tian Yanzong’ would appear, so he showed that strange expression.


Xiangnu thought with a heavy expression on his face, even though he didn’t want to, he still couldn’t completely restrain his gaze sneaking to the Taoist priest in the southern position for a moment.


The Taoist glanced at him lightly and then looked away, giving no more glances at Xiangnu.


Xiangnu couldn’t figure out the thoughts of the monster over there for a while, but he knew that if the monster went on the rampage, he would definitely not have the strength to fight back.


There was no hope or despair. He knew that he was definitely not a match of the Taoist priest costume ghost. After thinking about it, he directly threw his existence into the back of his mind. There was noo way he could prevent it anyway, so he just ignored it.


The ghost in Taoist clothes didn’t seem interested in him, maybe he had another purpose, and it’s just a coincidence that it appeared in this dungeon.


Xiangnu’s top priority was to find the murderer hidden in the tasker, catch him, completely end the copy of the “Midnight Dressup Party”, and then leave this weird apartment.


It’s only a little after six o’clock now, and there were still several hours before the nine o’clock party mentioned in the log. Because the task was given too hastily Xiangnu doesn’t even know if the taskers have arrived.


Xiangnu didn’t enter the two vacant rooms. Inspector c016 didn’t seem to want to invite him in. Xiangnu stood in front of the railing with his hands lightly on the railing and tapped with his fingertips observing the questers below.


The taskers wore all kinds of costumes. The pair of demons that Xiangnu met at the beginning were not the most bizarre-looking ones. There were also taskers who wore even stranger costumes than them, such as angel costumes, ghost costumes, witch costumes, bridal Costumes, animal costumes… all kinds of costumes were available, and basically, they wore masks to cover their faces. If they didn’t cover their faces, they were like the pair of demon men and women who had tattoos all over their faces making it hard to recognize them.


There were even those who were dressed as lizards among these taskers. Who knows what material was used to make the costume so that it could change color according to the environment? The lizard suit covered the taskmaster from head to tail. As the lizard man stood close to the pillar, the color of the lizard skin on his body became very much like the stone pillar, if not for the Taoist priest who kept staring at the lizard man, Xiang Nu would not even discover the existence of that lizard man.


The existence of that Taoist priest made Xiang Nu a little wary, making him keep some of his attention to him. Seeing him staring straight at the lizardman, Xiangnu couldn’t help but be a little more curious about the lizardman, but the lizardman wrapped himself up tightly, Xiangnu couldn’t see his face at all, so he could only write him down and prepare to find an opportunity to communicate with that lizardman.


When Xiang Nu was observing the third floor taskmasters’ movements, the taskmasters on the third floor also tilted their heads and quietly sized him up, they might have guessed Xiang Nu’s ‘identity’, they were full of jealousy towards the existence of the fourth floor, and they didn’t dare to be as blatant as Xiang Nu was.


During this period, another tasker entered the banquet hall on the third floor. When a man wearing a white robe and a golden butterfly mask walked in from the outside, the crystal lamp in the banquet went off suddenly, and the third floor The fourth floor turned so dark, nothing could be seen.


Then a scream sounded that changed his tone swiftly. When the crystal lamp turned on again, a middle-aged man had already been killed. He was lying on the ground on all fours, eyes blank but there was no pain in his expression, as if he died ignorantly. It’s just that there is a thumb-sized hole between his eyebrows.


The faces of surrounding taskers changed instantly, and their solemn expressions became even more solemn.


c016 went down from the fourth floor, and the inspectors took away the middle-aged man’s body and carried it up to the fourth floor.


There is only one passage connecting the fourth floor and the third floor. After the inspectors carried the body up, they did not intend to show the man’s body to the slave, but they wanted to pass in front of Xuangnu.


Xiangnu said coldly, “Wait, let me see.”


The inspectors stopped according to his words but looked at Xiangnu with unfriendly eyes, and when they heard Xiangnu wanted to see the corpse, their eyes became even more repulsive.


The woman opposite Xuangnu stood up, her snake hair hissed and whimpered, and her tentacles rolled back and forth under her puffy skirt, poking under the skirt.


Xiangnu glanced at the woman on the opposite side with fear. As for the inspectors, he didn’t care. Standing not far from them, he looked at the middle-aged man who was being carried by them on all fours and hesitated for a moment. Said, “Put him down and show me.”


The inspectors looked at him coldly, “The Red Queen is still waiting for us.” The Red Queen was the woman opposite.


“Heh…heh…” A lowly smiling female voice came from down the stairs. Xiang Nu keenly noticed that the faces of these inspectors had changed. They quickly lowered their heads, trembling, and put the middle-aged man’s body down.


The crisp sound of high heels stepping on the floor resounded on the silent fourth floor as if knocking on people’s hearts, making them tremble.


Xiang Nu could not help but look over, a woman wearing a ceramic mask, wearing a white coat with her hands in her pockets walked up from down the stairs, the ceramic mask was white, only revealing a pair of eye holes, the mask was filled with black lines, as if a cracked wound covered the cheeks.


She ignored Xiangnu, walked to the middle-aged man and squatted down, took out a pair of rubber gloves and put them on casually, then roughly inserted her fingers into the hole between the man’s eyebrows, and pulled out a dark red lump from the inside.


“It’s been a long time since you died, and your brain is raw with blood and tofu.” The woman said indifferently, her tone as calm as if she had eaten a green vegetable for lunch.


She let go of her hand, peeled off the rubber gloves avoiding the dirty part, wrapped the dark red lump, and threw it back on the corpse, tauntingly saying, “Move over, let’s see how hungry our lovely Red Queen is. Come on, her stinky saliva is about to drown this place.”


“Yes… Doctor X.” The inspectors said softly and moved the middle-aged man’s body quickly.


Without the obstruction of these people, Doctor X’s eyes finally fell on Xiangnu.


She looked at the beautiful young man in the ill-fitting coat opposite, her eyes under the ceramic mask flashed with surprise and excitement, her voice was melodious, voice filled with untimely joy and admiration: “Ah, I found a little guy running around wearing adult clothes. So naughty…and beautiful. Didn’t your family elders tell you that a child with delicate skin and tender flesh like you…should be careful.”


The author has something to say:


Superficial statement: The little baby with thin skin and tender meat has to be careful not to be eaten by the wolf grandma.


Inner real Thoughts: Why are you running around in your husband’s clothes and showing us single dogs?
