Three underground floors.

"Are we going to stay here until we die?" said the girl sitting in the corner of the room. "Or do you have any ideas?"

Marne opened his eyes:

“I have a way, but…

"How long have you been waiting?"

Ning Changkong stood up and shrugged:

"Half a minute."

"I almost followed you one after another. Logically, you don't have time to sit down." Marne said, "but time is not constant in physics."

Sparse footsteps came from outside.

Both the girl and Mar En looked at the door.

Click.

Something opened the door.

The first person to walk in was an elderly man with wrinkles on his face and thin enough to see the shape of his bones. When he saw Ma En and Ning Changkong, his face showed a clear look of joy.

"These two newcomers look very beautiful." Following him was a fat man covered with green fish scales, and he also swept the spaces of Ma En and Ning Chang with greedily.

The third person who walked in was a woman. Her left half of her face had no flesh and blood anymore. She was replaced by insect-like chitin carapace. The huge compound eyes occupied two-thirds of the space on her left face, and her left arm was like some kind of insect pliers.

The skinny old man said:

"You are very lucky. You didn't meet the cannibalism on the seventh floor underground, nor did you hit the wanderers on the eighth floor. You also avoided the crazy beast group on the nineth floor and were found by us.

"And they all look good, I want to disfigure you."

The insect girl said:

"The queen will be very satisfied. Come with us, don't be afraid of being scared by us. Not to mention that you don't even have the chance to escape, and you will be the same as us soon."

The fat fish man suggested:

"I'm hungry, can I pull my arms down first?"

The old man said:

"The queen doesn't want defective products. Be patient, I can even resist peeling them off."

When he heard the skinning, the fat man, covered in fish scales, retreated two steps in a bit of fear.

Ning Changkong looked at the scene in front of him, stood silently behind Ma En, and said in a low voice:

"I don't know if it's my problem, but I saw a skeleton, a fish monster, and a carapace insect with feminine characteristics."

Maren said:

“Several…

"Can you listen to me?"

The three weirdos looked at him at the same time.

The old man grinned and smiled strangely:

"Yes, I'm afraid you two will be scared away, but I didn't expect them to be quite calm."

Mar En asked:

"Can you introduce me to this place? For example, the queen you mentioned, and other floors just mentioned, we are just here..."

"Very good, very good!" The old man's tone was close to crazy jealousy, "A man with courage and a beautiful girl, she will definitely like you very much."

The girl whispered behind Mar En:

"Are we going to run away?"

Maren quietly raised his hand, signaling her not to panic.

"Go out with us." The old man gestured to his companion out with his eyes, "Let's talk."

They followed them out.

Then, both Ma En and Ning Changkong noticed that this place was contrary to reality.

In addition to this door, there are continuous gray walls on both sides behind him, and the corridor looks like a deep and invisible darkness, and the ceiling is also dozens of meters high.

The old man took them in the direction of going back:

"This place is more spacious than the hospitals you have known before. The corridors and corridors are connected to each other, with almost no end, and the halls once became empty squares, even enough to form tribes.

"Same as above, there are nine floors, three, four, five, seven, and eight. These floors have their own rulers and residents, and the ninth floor is where the expelled beasts gather."

Marne noticed that he did not mention the first, second and sixth floors.

"And our ruler is the queen, who likes beautiful boys and girls very much, so you are lucky to not be rushing for your livelihood like us, and to vainly delay the coming death."

"What is a herd of beasts?" asked Maren.

The insect girl sneered and replied:

“What is a beast?

"We are, I am, too, look at what we look like, this is your future, here we won't die easily, but every injury will push you to the crazy beast."

The fat fish man added:

“It will also bring strength.”

The woman said:

“Yes, but the more you get, the more you lose.

"There are only two roads here, turning into a mad beast, or being truly killed,"

Mar En asked as usual:

"What is real killing?"

"Some strong men." The old man said hoarsely, "they can give others real peace, kill you directly and completely, and they are also feared and worshipped.

"The rulers on the five floors are all such strong men."

Maren said:

"What about the other three floors?"

The old man glanced at him sinisterly:

"The sixth floor has collapsed for many years. There was no difference between there and other floors before, but no one could go there again at any time.

"And on the first floor, no one really knows what is there, the passageway, hell, heaven, and all kinds of statements.

"And the most terrifying monsters who care about this gathered on the second floor, where only the strong can step into the forbidden area. Other floors will be circulated with each other, but if you enter the second floor without your consent...

"The strong men everywhere will kill you cruelly and ruthlessly, using your flesh to delay their beastization."

And the door I left was on the second floor?

It seems that he has been underground in the past and entered the second floor of the underground, where he left the "employee channel" of the control bureau in a way that he doesn't remember.

The old man suddenly stopped:

"I almost forgot."

He raised his palm and stretched his sharp bone fingers out of his skin:

"Every newcomer must hand in a finger to see your potential."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three weirdos looked at them, and some strange emotion flashed in their eyes, and their expressions gradually became fierce, as if they were not going to give Ma En and Ning Changkong any chance to refuse.

This is indeed the rule of underground floors. The strength of beastization can often be seen from its manifestation, but this is not the reason that drives them to insist on doing this.

It is said that on the underground floor, there is a passage that can return to the ground, but only pure people, or pure beasts, who have no signs of beastization, can pass there.

"Can I not cut it first?" Maren asked politely.

"You can't help it." The old man showed a bloodthirsty smile, "If it didn't seem OK, we would have tear off your limbs for dinner long ago.
