Records of the Weakest Emperor

Chapter 79: Harrowing Reality

"This is bad..."

Hugo whispered in shock.

Out of everyone among the newbies, he considered himself as the most familiar one when it came to killing intent. The shout that reverberated throughout Mount Spirit Sword Asylum was embued with killing intent far stronger and heavier than he could even imagine.

Sweat dotted his forehead as Hugo suddenly increased his pace.

Medea had a grim look on her face.

She wasn't a greenhorn, so she knew the implications of that voice.

What's more, she also saw Arthur Chase among the monsters and Arthur Chase also discovered her.

From the patient files that they had read from the Computer Lab in the Administration Block, Arthur Chase had a fascination for females and he also had an illness called Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome. Just falling in the hands of such a despicable bastard sent shivers down her spine.

Calvin who rode piggyback on Hugo's back reached out for the walkie-talkie hanging out from Hugo's waist.

He took it out and tried to use it, but he couldn't hear anything other than static noise.

"Shit..."

"Those bastards must've used the signal jammer in the Watch Tower."

Calvin softly cursed.

"Calvin, what should we do?" Hugo asked.

Calvin could see the struggle on Hugo's face and he couldn't help but comment, "Hugo, am I that heavy? You can put me down, you know? I can run on my own."

"No! I can't put you down! Just stay there and answer my question! We're about to reach the receptionist's desk where the others are hiding." Hugo replied.

Calvin nodded his head and didn't argue with him anymore, "I managed to take the access keycard for the Security Room just before you appeared with Medea. Goddamned it, thankfully you didn't appear earlier, or else I wouldn't be able to get the keycard!"

"What?! Really? You have the keycard in your hands?" Hugo exclaimed in joy.

"Yeah, I have it... All we need to do now is to get back to the Administration Block and unlock the main elevators using the Security Room to escape!" Calvin gave a positive reply.

Medea heard what he said and she couldn't help but speak up, "Will everything really be that easy? I saw dozens of patients earlier, and they must be lurking somewhere around here..." A worried look was subtly plastered across her ice-cold expression.

"Don't worry! Most of those patients must've passed through the medical ward to go to the Art Room directly across the medical ward. I'm sure that the Benevolent Father invited those bastards here to have them help prepare for his daughter's grand birthday party!" Calvin said.

"Art room?" Medea furrowed his eyebrows. She couldn't remember anything about the Art Room.

"You don't have to think too much about it! Just remember that we are safe! As long as we can open the main elevators in the next ten minutes, then we can successfully escape from this place!" Calvin urged. As far as he could remember, the Art Room was directly above the Vocational Block.

In other words, it was just a few hallways from the Administration Block.

Since it was so close, the mad patients of Mount Spirit Sword Asylum could catch up to them in less than three minutes.

One may think that Calvin was being stupid for not telling Medea this vital information.

But sometimes, a white lie was necessary for success.

If Calvin told her the truth, then she might unnecessarily panic!

After all, she may look imposing at this moment, but she was still ultimately an ordinary young woman...

An ordinary human being!

It was the same in the case of Hugo.

Hugo might be able to endure such pressure, but Calvin couldn't risk it.

In short, he decided that it was better for him to withhold such information.

What's more, Calvin was sure that even without that information. These newbies, along with Hugo and Medea would probably due their best to get the hell out of this place as fast as possible.

Calvin's eyes shone in a shrewd light.

The three soon arrived at the receptionist's desk where the others were hiding.

"Calvin!" Scarlette exclaimed in joy upon seeing that Calvin was safe and sound.

Jane, Zahra, and Jannette, on the other hand, had awkward looks on their faces. Particularly Jannette who clearly didn't expect that Calvin was still alive. She couldn't help but inwardly curse for she felt that she had lost her face.

But nevertheless, since everyone alive was already here...

It was time for them to go.

"Wait!"

Calvin exclaimed.

"What is it?" Hugo turned to look at Calvin.

But Calvin didn't bother on replying.

He directly turned on the computer on the receptionist's desk and accessed the servers of Mount Spirit Sword Asylum through the username and password scribbled on a nearby post-it note.

Typing in some words, several strings of words filled with complicated jargon appeared on the screen as Calvin exclaimed.

"All right, it's done! Let's go!"

Calvin then ran towards the decontamination chamber and opened it with a press of a button.

Once inside the decontamination chamber, the hydraulics immediately did their work and disinfected the bodies of everyone within the chamber.

Hugo took advantage of this downtime to ask, "What did you do earlier?"

Calvin turned to look at him and realizing that everyone's eyes were on him...

He explained...

"I closed every door above the floor where the Administration Block is located... That should buy us some time. But I reckon that it should only be a few minutes at most. Those madmen, it wouldn't be a problem for them to collapse the steel gates just so they could feast on us!"

Calvin's words astonished everyone.

Jane shivered in fear, but she was quickly reassured when she realized that Calvin brought them some time.

"That's good... It's good." Jannette absentmindedly nodded her head.

Medea furrowed her eyebrows and suspiciously stared at Calvin, "How do you know the password to the receptionist's desk?"

But her suspicions were swiftly dispersed by Calvin's answer.

"I found it written on a post-it note!"

"I see..." Medea gave a small nod.

At this moment, the decontamination chambers opened once again with a fizzling noise.

Hugo stuck his head out and after checking that the coast was clear.

They ran towards the Security Room. It didn't take them that long to reach the Security Room, and with Calvin's expertise, it only took them half a minute to open the main elevators for usage.

Afterwards, the entire group made a break for it towards the Main Hall of the Administration Block.

"Here is it!"

Calvin exclaimed and swiftly slapped his hand on the big red button beside the elevator doors.

Ding!

A clear and distinct sound rang out.

What followed afterwards was the appearance of a transparent window floating in the air.
