Chapter 57: Mice Infestation
"This is a really sturdy psychic boundary!"
In the office of the underground pub, Adam and Hook were combining their efforts to break the psychic boundary of this world.
The way to break through a psychic boundary was very simple. It involved focusing one's psychic power in one place, making it adopt the form of objects such as drill bills or shovels, which could then be used to damage and dig into the surrounding space.
Of course, this was what low-level adapters had to do in order to break a psychic prison constructed by a more advanced adapter. If it were the other way around, the advanced adapter would be able to quickly break through the low-level adapter's psychic world and return to reality.
Given how sturdy the psychic boundary is, the psychic mutant who created this prison could be even more powerful than Oni no Hanzou.
While Adam and Hook were busy at work, inflicting damage upon the surrounding space, the sound of screaming suddenly rang out from outside.
"Didn't I tell all of you not to make any sound?" Adam flung open the door in a frustrated manner as he stormed out into the club. "What are you all yelling about?"
"There are mice..."
"What's so scary about mice..."
Before Adam had a chance to react, a mouse that was the size of a house suddenly jumped up and sank its teeth into a person's neck. The victim hurled the mouse aside with all their might, but their throat had already been torn open, and they howled in agony as blood gushed out of the open wound.
Similar scenes were unfolding all throughout the club.
With the mice running rampant, the dancefloor was quickly transformed into a fountain party. Everyone was being sprayed with blood as they screamed and fled from the mice in a panic.
There's no way ordinary mice can grow to this size!
Adam immediately realized something was wrong as soon as he caught sight of the giant mice. He recalled back to what he had seen outside, and he remembered that one of the psychic mutants was able to release mice out of his mouth.
That man clearly reveled in slaughter and bloodshed, and close to half of the people who had been killed on the street outside had fallen to his mice.
Has he come here?
Adam was extremely alert, but he couldn't detect any traces of psychic mutants. Meanwhile, the commotion and panic in the pub continued.
"Maybe these mice were only sent here as scouts! Don't panic, everyone! Gather around me, and make sure to protect your throats and eyes!"
Having failed to detect any signs of psychic mutant presence, Adam began to exterminate these mice.
With his abilities, these mice posed no threat to him at all, but as the extermination process continued, more and more mice were surging in from the lift landing.
As he was thinking of a way to block the lift landing, a resounding clang suddenly rang out from that direction, and the elevator was completely flattened by something, following which a figure emerged from the opening.
"Oh, this is really nice. I thought this was just going to be a boring job to hunt down adapters, but there's a lot of people gathered here!"
The elevator had been damaged by Adam earlier, so Mice King had to jump straight down from the ground level.
After falling such a long way, he had suffered a large gash on his head that was bleeding profusely, and the bones in several of his limbs had been snapped. However, as he hobbled along, the bones in his broken legs began to return to normal, and his cheekbones, which were protruding out of a deep gash on his face, were also being covered by regenerating skin and flesh.
Mice King inspected his surroundings, and he was first ecstatic to see the number of people in the club. Immediately thereafter, he spotted the hulking werewolf that was Adam, who was sticking out like a sore thumb in the crowd.
"That's a strange adapter. It almost looks like you've mutated," Mice King remarked as he sized up Adam. "How do you want to be killed?"
"Why are you killing people?"
"Does there need to be a reason for killing people? Do you need a reason to eat food? You eat because you're hungry!"
Mice King reached out as he spoke, grabbing onto a person beside him. His oral cavity then expanded to half the size of a grown man, allowing him to stuff half of the man's body into his mouth in one go.
A gruesome crunch rang out as Mice King bit down, sending blood spraying in all directions.
The man didn't even get a chance to cry out before his body was snapped into two.
At this point, there was nothing left to be said. Psychic mutants were all completely deranged, so there was no way to communicate effectively with them.
Thus, Adam didn't hesitate any longer as he pounced toward his opponent, sending fiery claws sweeping through the air.
"Oh, that's an impressive attack! It looks like you're a mature adapter."
In the face of the fiery claws, Mice King made no attempt to take evasive measures, and his upper body was sliced into several pieces. However, the pieces of his body quickly fused back together after falling onto the ground, and he was back to normal in no time.
At this point, Adam had already arrived in front of him, and he continued to stand still on the spot, not bothering to dodge as he withstood all of Adam's attacks head-on.
However, it was as if his body were made of bubblegum, and it was always able to stick itself back together in strange ways, thereby rendering Adam's attacks completely ineffective.
Even so, Adam still didn't relent in his assault.
He knew that his attacks were ineffective, but he needed to buy time. As long as he could keep Mice King occupied, Hook would be able to slowly break through the psychic boundaries of this world and allow everyone to escape.
"I'm starting to get really bored. Is that all you have? In that case, I'm not going to waste any more time. I have to fulfill a quota of 500 kills today!"
Mice King sent Adam flying with a punch as he spoke, then opened his mouth up wide again to release countless mice.
After emerging from Mice King's mouth, the mice began to wreak havoc throughout the entire pub, tearing at all of its patrons with their teeth.
Adam got up from the ground and immediately began to combat the mice, but there were simply too many for him to deal with at once, and the space in the pub was too large, so most of the patrons were still killed by the mice.
These mice were far stronger and more agile than the average, and there were too many of them to count. The people in the pub were no match for the mice, and they were toppled one after another before being devoured alive.
Meanwhile, Adam was protecting the final group of survivors, who had been backed into a booth. There was a wall behind them and pieces of furniture to act as cover in the surrounding area, making it a great fortress where Adam was able to shield them.
After claiming this advantageous position, Adam invoked Mummy and Clown right away. These two miniature anomalies were no match for adapters, but they were certainly more than capable of dealing with a plague of mice.
Adam was guarding the main passageway, while Mummy was protecting the survivors. At the same time, Clown was jumping erratically through the infestation of mice, picking off any that slipped through the cracks.
As a result, the mice were unable to reach the survivors, and after suffering some casualties, they quickly joined together to form a grotesque ball of flesh.
The ball of flesh then completely fused together to form a giant mouse aberration.
All of Mice King's abilities seemed to be related to fission and fusion.
Following the formation of the mouse aberration, it stomped down violently toward Clown. Thankfully, the cunning anomaly was as alert as ever, and it immediately concealed itself before fleeing at the sight of this turn of events.
However, Mummy wasn't so fortunate.
. n0vElUSb.c0m
It was the anomaly of pain, so it didn't fear pain. In addition to that, it had always possessed low intelligence, doing everything in the most straightforward manner through barbaric brute force, relying heavily on its own defenses to keep itself safe.
If it were facing an opponent weaker than itself, such a crushing mode of attack would've granted it a major advantage.
However, in the face of opponents far more powerful than itself, its excessive aggression became the bane of its existence.
Mummy raised its weapon as it charged directly toward the mouse aberration, but before it was even able to carve through the aberration's skin with its blade, the mouse aberration chomped down onto its head, then began to tear at its body. Adam could sense that Mummy was at risk of being torn apart at any moment.
It's only just been resurrected, I can't allow it to die again!
Adam immediately leaped up into the air, sending the giant mouse flying with a sweep of his claws before withdrawing the severely wounded Mummy back into his body.
