Chapter 66: Cartons
Short de, gue Long w.
Musket, Modified Holy Water Bomb.
The two of them each offered up their correspondingbat equipment.
As they stepped onto the darkened attic, Coslin would already be ready.
Five small disc-shaped devices were held between their fingers and thrown around at the same time.
The small mechanical discs would pop out sharp mechanical legs from their lower ends upon contact with an object and stick into the wall or floor.
Once stabilized, the kerosene stored inside would ignite itself for illumination.
It is essentially a portable, small kerosenemp.
It is quite suitable for such a confined and dark environment.
It can diffuse visible light out at first, facilitating direct observation by the naked eye.
The me also has a restraining effect on low-level evil objects, transforming geographical advantage.
The attic was even more spacious than expected when the fire was illuminated.
Upon arriving at the attic, the ma had a distinct vibration sensation, but there was no sign of the old woman, Instead, a giant storage carton was ced in the attic.
The size of the carton was justrge enough to fit a person, and a number of them were densely arranged.
It was obvious, the olddy was in one of the cardboard boxes.
The olddy could be located simply by examining the cartons one by one, by using the ma tremors.
However, there will be some danger in the testing process because the olddy cannot be located directly, and the strength of the ma vibrations caused by each carton must bepared in turn to determine the location.
Coslin suggested to himself, "It''s too dangerous to go direct, I can shoot each cardboard box in turn until the target is shot."
Han Dong, however, asked a key question.
"We''re trying to catch it alive, aren''t we?"
Coslin, who had be emotionally agitated due to the effects of the contamination, didn''t think about it at all and only thought about killing the target to vent his hatred.
"Yes, there''s a need to capture one alive, maybe we can find a weakness in this olddy, and then we''ll be able to find it ording to the weakness goes deeper into the mansion to reduce the risk."
"If you want to catch them alive, you can''t be too reckless.
Also, the number of cartons is 28, so in case you have a little bad luck, you might waste 20 specially made silver armor-piercing bullets.
Such bullets should be valuable and not easy to resupply, right?
Later, we may have to go deeper into the Bakers'' mansion, so we''d better save our bullets.
Senior Coslin, you stand right here! I''ll go looking for it one by one, once the target shows up, try to shooting it in the vital joints.
I''ll find a way to suppress it."
Han Dong''s series of calm analyses surprised Coslin somewhat.
In the squad, it had always been him and Cass who jointly analyzed the situation.
But currently it was Han Dong who steadied his emotions, calmly analyzing the current situation and formting the best live capture n.
For a while, Coslin looked at Han Dong in apletely different way, no longer treating him as a two-star neer, and inwardly had ssified him as a member of the team.
"The risk of searching directly is high, you''re not a [Crusader], are you sure you can handle an attack from this source of contamination?"
"Yes!"
There was no hesitation in Han Dong''s reply, and his eyes were full of confidence and perseverance.
"Fine, as long as you can suppress the target, the binding device I carry canpletely lock down the source of the contamination."
"Mm."
After the exchange, Han Dong began to move.
Holding the "gue Doctor''s Short de" in his left hand, his right arm activated the ghoul''s associated characteristics (maintaining a normal arm size).
If you use a magnifying ss to observe the ce that Han Dong is currently walking past, you''ll notice that there are some fungal colonies left at the location where his footprints fell.
It indicated that Han Dong was in a state of full concentration at this time, and was actually consuming the [Seed] energy in his mind every second to enter a state of gue maniption.
The resonance ma hung from his neck via a thin wire.
Buzz!
The change in tremor was so pronounced that Han Dong quickly eliminated nearly twenty cartons and was heading for the corner of the loft.
The closer to the corner, the more difficult it was for Coslin to shoot.
However, Coslin didn''t have any worries or anxieties, as long as the target wasn''tpletely obscured, he was able to shoot urately.
The gun had changed from a pistol form to a sniper rifle.
Mounted with a scope and stabilized at the entrance to the building via a stabilizer, the aim was locked on the cardboard boxes surrounding Han Dong at all times.
Meanwhile, Coslin took another sip of holy water to make sure he was awake.

1. Han Dong''s eyes locked onto the cardboard box located two meters away, in the corner.
"The most dangerous situation has been passed, the next step is the capture part."
From Han Dong''s point of view, nothing was more dangerous than the process of searching for a target between arge number of cardboard boxes.
The danger was minimized when the remaining option was ''1''.
Given that when Coslin had previously shot the old woman, the other person had not let out any screams and its actions were unaffected as well.
Han Dong considered that the damage inflicted on the old woman by the bullet should not be fatal enough.
Thus, holding out his hand to indicate the stairway with the gun Coslin had already set up, he used a small caliber bullet and shot the cardboard box.
There was only one purpose, to force the target out.
Boom!
A small caliber conventional bullet shot out, hitting the center of the cardboard box with precision.
Pow!
By the sound of it, it was clearly shot into the flesh and blood thing.
Hitting the target.
But.
The expected horror of the old woman showing up from the cardboard box with a fierce look on her face did not follow.
There was silence.
The cardboard box did not move, not even the slightest shake.
But.
A wisp of thick, grey-ck liquid slowly spilled out of the cardboard box hole and spread across the floor.
"Well?"
Han Dong''s eyebrows furrowed while signaling for Coslin to take another shot.
Whoosh~.
The bullet entered again.
The situation is exactly the same, the cardboard box is motionless, and another strand of filthy liquides out of the hole.
Five consecutive trigger pulls.
As the bullets continuously entered, more and more filthy liquid flowed out from the bullet holes and had spreadpletely around the cardboard box.
The situation was beyond Han Dong''s expectations.
gue Beam!
Han Dong directly shot out a ray of gue energy from the tip of his short sword, invading the inside of the cardboard box.
Followed by this, the blood that came out from the bullet''s mouth also carried a certain amount of fluorescent bacteria at the same time, clearly indicating that the gue had worked.
But the cardboard box still didn''t move at all.
"Is it because the first bullet happened to hit the vital area, causing the target to die, or has it been holding back?"
Han Dong clenched his teeth and strode on.
Miss Chen Li, be ready to show yourself at any time.
Reaching the carton,
Bend over.
Extend your right hand.
The moment he lifted the cardboard box!
A white curtain hidden at the top of the attic descended.
At the same time, the old woman in the cardboard box stood up abruptly.
This caused the descending curtain cloth to just envelop the two.
Within the white curtain cloth, Han Dong and the old woman were zero distance from each other.
Unfortunately, the bullets that had just fired at the cardboard box all hit the old woman''s head, so much so that seven flesh holes were left in her face.
Strange things were happening!
Ding ding ding ding! (shells hitting the ground)
Due to the wriggling of some sort of small tentacle, the shells inside the flesh hole were slowly pushed out and all fell to the ground.
Bizarre tentacles grew out of the flesh hole, cruising around Han Dong''s "goggles".
Proximity contamination!
For the average trainee knight, this is certain death!
