“Where am I…” Se Lang experienced a sharp headache the moment they teleported into the instance. It did not help that his breath felt heavy only to realise he was wearing an oxygen mask. His eyes were blurry, and he needed some time to adjust.
“This setting… Shit!” His strength was waning for some reason, but he was finally able to make some sense of the current situation. He looked around before he tried to get out of his seat, only to find he was being strapped down. “Argh…the seatbelt.”
He looked at the side of him to find a dead disfigured corpse and he started to panic. Se Lang quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and looked around. It was a terrible mess he was in. Luggage scattered all over the aisle and there was a scent of smoke but he could not figure out where it was coming from. The lights were not working and it looked like it was dark from a glimpse he took through the window port.
He could only conclude that he was in a broken down plane that went through an emergency landing and guessed that he and perhaps the other two were entrenched in this particular setting.
“… Water? Shit! Fuckl!” Se Lang only realised now that his shoes were soaked. This made him get a clearer picture of his situation. If he did not escape in time, this broken aeroplane would be filled up and drown him.
“Shi Hui! Jia Ying! Are you two around?!!” Se Lang shouted when he suddenly heard a loud explosion and saw a bright light from the right side of the plane. “Did one of the turbines just break down?” Se Lang thought to himself as he could feel the plane tilting into the water.
“Damn damn damn damn!!” Se Lang knew there was no time and his heart was racing extremely fast. Se Lang guessed if he tried to escape now, he might be able to survive. But if Se Lang didn’t, he might die trying to search for the other two.
“No wonder Boss Jin kept emphasising to every customer that if the Halloween dungeon instance is too scary for you, or you could not complete the first stage, he would refund the money back to you via the Pandamonium app. He was not joking at all!” Se Lang was wasting precious time finding someone to blame when the plane window broke, causing more water to flow in.
“Arggh, if they are still unconscious it will take me forever to search for them.” Se Lang surmised he needed to use his Wacky Wolves technique. “Wacky Wolf Style, Bloodshot Eyes of the Wacky Wolf!” Se Lang covered his eyes with his hand. He inserted chi via his hand for faster manipulation of blood into his eyes.
His entire pupil turned bloody red while the capillaries in his iris enlarged, causing his eyes to have a deadly gaze. However, it was quite painful for him to utilise it in such short notice since he usually calibrates his chi into his eyes for a long time before the effect starts. Unfortunately, time was currently a precious commodity and Se Lang had to use it to rescue Shi Hui and Jia Ying.
Se Lang’s Bloodshot Eyes of the Wacky Wolf gave him the ability to sense heat, making him a portable heat sensor especially when it came to finding criminals. Combined with his other searching ability, Acute Smell of the Wacky Wolf, criminals had no place to hide. Right now, he had no time to activate the latter and only used his bloodshot eyes to find heat signatures in this particular metal container of impending death they were stuck in.
“Found them! Exactly two heat signatures!” Se Lang quickly ran towards the first heat signature that was the closest to him. It was Shi Hui and she was still rendered unconscious.
“Did Boss Jin purposely tweak the teleportation method to put us into such a state?” Se Lang thought to himself as he removed the oxygen mask off Shi Hui and unbuckled her belt.
“Shi Hui, wake up! Wake Up!” Se Lang shook her shoulders but it was to no avail. She was not waking up. He turned his head to look at the other heat signature to confirm the distance.
“Crap, the water level is rising, I have to rescue Jia Ying first.” Se Lang deduced that he should go for the other heat signature that was registered by his bloodshot eye’s ability which he believed could only be Jia Ying since she was closer to the broken part of the plane that began to amass a pool of seawater.
“Wait for me here, honey. I will be right back for you in a moment.” Se Lang climbed and jumped over the centre seats to reach the other aisle. He quickly moved to the second heat signature. It was indeed Jia Ying and he reached for the buckle.
As he was doing that, a sudden shriek was heard throughout the entire plane. Se Lang quickly looked around and noticed nothing. “Must be that stupid Boss Jin adding some scream background music to scare me and the re-” Se Lang did not see any heat signature but as a policeman, he had developed some battle instinct when someone tried to ambush him, so he quickly dodged.
He was right, some sort of weapon nearly stabbed him as he heard metal clashing on the floor. “Cold-blooded creatures?!” Se Lang immediately removed one of his bloodshot eyes to see normally. The forced removal of his ability caused his eyes to bleed but there was no other option.
He closed his left eye with the bloodshot eye ability still intact in case he needed it and focused on the enemy. It was some fish-like human and it seemed very interested in taking Jia Ying away. As one of the Fishman moved forward to block Se Lang’s advance, the other Fishman was trying to grab her away.
Thankfully, Se Lang did not unbuckle Jia Ying yet and the Deep One had trouble carrying her out of her seat. “Don’t you dare touch her, you fish creeps!” Se Lang took out part of his inscribed scythe that had the blood explosion inscription.
With a button, he managed to remove the scythe blade out and it automatically turned into a sabre weapon. Se Lang knew the limitations of his weapon, so he modified it to be able to use it in an enclosed place too.
The Deep One that was on the advance, charged towards Se Lang and in this situation, Se Lang did not hesitate to go all out. The longer he stayed in this plane, the more likely he would drown.
“Scythe Art, Whirlwind Slice of the Wacky Wolf.” Se Lang intercepted the stab of the spear which the Deep One was using with his bare hands and pushed his scythe blade into the Deep One’s throat before slicing it. The slice caused a whirlwind effect that damaged the Deep One that was trying to grab Jia Ying.
Se Lang pushed the decapitated Deep One and summoned his scythe pole stick out and stabbed it right through the chest, hoping the fish monster had the heart in the same place where humans have it. Unfortunately, it was not but the attack managed to stagger the Deep One before Se Lang closed in and stabbed his blade through its opened mouth and into its brains.
He quickly removed his blade from the dead fish man and unbuckled Jia Ying. At this point, Se Lang panicked because he just remembered that he had left Shi Hui defenceless. Se Lang quickly opened his left eye only to notice the heat signature at the back of the plane disappeared.
“SHIT! STUPID FISH MEN!” Se Lang shouted in agony for failing to protect Shi Hui.
