Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Bubuum. Bubuum...

Don't breathe... Don't smile... Don't even blink!!

Everyone stood like cats out of water.

The deadly silence carried a heavy tension within its midst.

And Dorian, who had been like an observer all this while, had a slight smirk.

He had his hands in his pocket, with his head tilted lazily.

"Did you think we came here by accident?"

What did the Grandmaster mean?

Everyone's pupils dilated.

So you mean it was all a trap?

An uncomfortable feeling clogged their hearts. But before they could react, they heard the flashlights in their hands blink without end.

~Flick. Flick. Flick... Pash!!!!

A torchlight broke, also breaking the hearts of its holder.

"It's out! It's out!"

"What? How come?"

Several people had widened mouths in the form of an '0'.

Pash!... Pash! Pash! Pash!

Several flashlight bulbs exploded one by one.

"No! No! No!... Com'on... Work for me!"

Several people slapped their torches vigorously, feeling the darkness swallowing them all.

But this was just the beginning.

Rumble. Rumble~

The entire space began to tremble fiercely, accompanied by an eerie giggling noise all too familiar to them.

Hihihihihihi~

It's here!!!

Many wanted to reach for their weapons only to recall they were all confiscated by the Grandmaster's person (Butler Sheng).

Words couldn't describe their feelings.

Their breathing accelerated, their muscles tensed, their white blood cells increased, and the butterflies in their bellies knotted.

And without even knowing it, they hugged each other like newly born twins.

(:oxo:)

Sorry... You want to judge them for being scaredy cats, then go ahead!

They wouldn't be ashamed to say they were fighting their bladders at times like tense.

To stay this long without peeing in fright was already a proud accomplishment!

(*@*)

.

Darkness...

The darkness now surrounded the scene, and their aura of fear was high.

But do you know what would make their prey fear even more?

The enemy's big reveal.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Several fist-sized holes were formed across the various corners of the space, allowing light to enter.

What?!!!

Everyone felt their legs turn wobbly, seeing the reddish-dyed interior.

The place...

(Gulp)

They swallowed hard.

The place was bloodier than they thought.

Yet what was surprising was that their obvious disgust didn't come from the many blood trails and human chunks of flesh but from the found stench that now burned their nostrils.

Good, God!!!!

Blugh!

One of the Bho guards couldn't take it, puking to the side in utter repulsion.

F***!

He had never smelled something so bad in his life before.

For it to be able to make him forget his feat momentarily was enough to show how powerful this deadly smell was.

The guard even felt he would prefer to smell poop or even dead bodies than keep taking a shift of this dastardly scent.

Uh...

The smell was so itchy that even his eyes began watering.

.

Oh No!

"Look over there!"

The walls!... The various cargo boxes and compartments...

Everyone saw several shadows merge, growing bigger and bigger by the second.

The laughing shadows kept growing, but there was no one in sight.

Grow... Grow... Grow...

The shadows grew to the ceiling until suddenly, they began spinning across the many surfaces, coming together to form one.

But what was this?

Why did they hear other strange screams of frightened beings?

With the room still shaking as though experiencing an earthquake, several objects still moved and flew about the scene.

And following the sound, they finally came face to face with the strangest scene.

"Run!... Run!... Get away from here!!!!"

"..."

Bho Jin stared at the little guys running to them in shock, turning his head to Dorian in question.

"Shrunk."

It seems some survivors had shrunk into the size of one's big toe.

And if they weren't all screaming the same words simultaneously, it would be impossible for Bho Jin and the rest to hear a thing.

.

This, who, when, what?... How is this possible?

Whether it was Gia Ming, Old Bho, or anyone else, the scene was just too dumbfounding.

Pah!!

One of the Navy officers slapped himself hard.

Little people...

They were actually made into little people!!!

He felt dizzy just thinking about it.

Bloody hell!

Can anyone tell him why today was such a crazy day?

What would they explain to their superiors? What do they tell people about the missing cruise ship incident?

Who in their damn right senses would believe this much?

Ugh...

Com'on! Can you make their jobs any more difficult?

The Navy officers had no tears but wanted to cry.

But seeing the little people run to warn them of the dangers ahead, everyone's heart felt fuzzy and warm, still having hope for humanity after all.

They even risked their lives, exposing themselves to warn them.

Maybe these tremors in the place could be handled by their normal human body... But for these shrunken people the size of tiny action figures, it should be a hellish quake to them.

What's more, the fallen rusted pieces on the floors, the cargo safety straps, bands, and the cargoes themselves were all in their way.

The tremors slid these objects around to the dismay of these little people.

Since the grandmaster's words indirectly confirmed these people were true humans and not imposters, how could they allow them to get in harm's way?

.

"Stop! Protect yourselves instead! Don't worry about us!"

"Yes! Protect yourself! Everything will soon be alright!!!"

The few people tried calling these miniature humans down while also being vigilant against the giggling shadows surrounding the scene.

Dorian still had his hands in his pockets, lazily looking at the scene like a spectator.

'You're not the one I'm looking for.'

No... This shadowy figure was but a nobody compared to the one who made the island space.

Then why should he waste time playing with it?

He narrowed his eyes, waiting for the opportune moment when all parts of the shadow would fully merge into one.

And this, he had been doing a simple countdown in his head.

5...

The enemy was still giggling confidently while Dorian slowly took his hands out his pockets.

4...

Dorian calmly wore his black gloves, starting at the shadow that had successfully collected all just shadowy parts.

3...

The shadow peeled itself off the walls and surfaces, forming a massive black cloud above everyone.

2...

Everyone was still anxious, watching the cloud above them continuously spin. The room turned colder and the enemy's laughter even more piercing.

1...

Time was almost up.

[Everyone]: Could this be their end?

A broad smile crept onto Dorian's lips.

Zero...

Whoosh!

Dorian vanished.
