However, Lin Beichen just chuckled, "I'm not trying to scare you. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
His expression was leisurely, as if everything was under control.
This made a trace of killing intent flash in Monroe's eyes. He decided not to waste any more words with Lin Beichen and directly take action to deal with these uninvited guests.
But just at that moment, the stone door outside suddenly started to turn, making a rumbling sound.
This unexpected event left Monroe, Galsa, and the others in shock.
They hurried to look outside, only to find that no one was there.
What on earth is happening?
Is someone controlling everything from outside?
They felt a wave of inexplicable fear and unease...
"How can this be? How could the stone door open without anyone outside?" Galsa said, bewildered.
He knew the dungeon like the back of his hand, aware that besides the hidden switch inside, only the external switch could open this stone door.
But now there was clearly no one outside, so why did the stone door open inexplicably?
Monroe also felt something was amiss. He frowned at Galsa and asked, "Why is there no one outside? What's going on here?"
Galsa shook his head, indicating that he was also unsure.
He promptly ordered several guards to go out and investigate. However, the moment these guards stepped through the stone door, they suddenly fell down as if struck by an invisible force.
This scene made Monroe and Galsa feel even more terrified and uneasy. They began to wonder if some unseen power was manipulating everything...
The named guards, seeing the bizarre deaths of the four before them, all shook their heads, refusing.
They had seen the miserable state of their four colleagues and knew that if they recklessly went out, they might meet the same fate.
An indescribable fear spread in their hearts; after all, no one wanted to die so inexplicably.
"Didn't those few guys investigate earlier?" One man said with a trembling voice, "Everything seemed normal outside!"
"General, it's really too weird outside," another mustered the courage to express his concern, "if we go out, it might not end well for us."
Although these guards had their duties, none were unafraid of death.
The situation seemed too peculiar for them to take risks.
Listening to them, Galsa fell into silence for a moment.
He understood that the situation outside was indeed unbelievable, making it hard to decide.
Just then, Lin Beichen chuckled lightly, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
"Monroe, do you still want me to give it a try now?" he asked leisurely.
Monroe's gaze suddenly became sharp as he stared intently at Lin Beichen.
"Is all this your doing?" His voice was filled with suspicion and vigilance.
Lin Beichen only smiled silently, a deep and inscrutable smile that deepened Monroe's doubts.
"If you don't believe me, go ahead and try," Lin Beichen said with confidence.
Monroe weighed the situation in his mind. Although the young man before him seemed ordinary, he radiated an extraordinary aura.
His every move seemed to control the entire situation.
At that moment, a shout broke their stalemate.
A guard suddenly fell to the ground, blood gushing from his neck, and yet there was no one around.
This scene left everyone in shock, even causing them to wonder if they were cursed.
Monroe looked at Lin Beichen in panic, "What exactly have you done?"
His voice trembled, full of fear.
"I told you earlier that you would face a life-and-death crisis today," Lin Beichen's tone remained calm, "but you insisted on testing it, so I had no choice but to accompany you."
Monroe's heart was now completely engulfed in chaos.
The scientific beliefs he had always held seemed to have completely crumbled at this moment.
Everything happening before him was beyond his comprehension.
"What… what do you want?" Monroe, clenching his fists, asked, trying to maintain composure.
Lin Beichen looked at him and smiled faintly, "I heard you captured a woman from Huaxia a few days ago?" he asked directly.
Monroe was taken aback. He initially thought these people were after the others detained by Galsa, but to his surprise, they were after that Huaxia woman. This only deepened his curiosity about their identities.
"Are you here to rescue her?" Monroe probed.
"Tell us where she is," Lin Beichen didn't answer his question but instead made his demand.
Monroe's mind raced, realizing these people might not be as formidable as he thought.
After all, they had a hostage in hand, which might serve as leverage.
"She's in the deepest part of the dungeon," he said slowly, "but if you want her, you'll need to show some sincerity, right?"
However, Lin Beichen merely chuckled lightly, "I don't think I gave you the impression that we're negotiating," he said as he walked forward.
Monroe tensed at his actions, "What… what do you mean?" he asked nervously.
Yet, Lin Beichen did not answer him and continued forward.
At that moment, a scream rang out, and a subordinate beside Monroe suddenly fell dead, his throat slashed.
Blood splattered on Monroe's face, filling him with terror.
This young man before him was simply too terrifying!
He seemed to have surpassed the scope of being human!
"Shoot! Quickly, shoot!" Monroe ordered frantically.
