47: Pain that only men understand

“Tsk tsk, that’s a pretty gruesome death!”

In the monitoring room, Li Zhou shook his head, somewhat unable to watch.

Because he had obtained all the permissions for the Devils Castle, he could see everything inside the castle from a 360-degree, dead-angle-free perspective.

Even when Song Yang was surrounded by countless rats, he could still see the situation inside through the outermost rats.

He could only say that the scene was too cruel, making him unable to bear looking directly at it.

In just an instant, Song Yang, from head to toe, was frenziedly gnawed down to bones by countless rats… “Ah ah ah, stop biting!”

“Grandpa Rat, I was wrong!”

In the attic, Song Yang, revived once again, babbled incoherently with his eyes closed.

At the same time, his hands kept slapping his body.

But the next moment, he felt something was wrong.

Opening his eyes, he saw the familiar attic before him and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Holy crap, you scared me to death!”

Song Yang swore that when he was pounced on by the swarm of rats just now, he almost actually peed his pants.

Those rats each exuded a crazy and eerie aura, their eyes red as if dripping blood.

In just an instant, he felt pain coming from all over his body.

Even after being torn apart, he could feel rats constantly drilling into his body from the wounds!

That feeling made his soul tremble.

“Damn Yuan Hao, what the hell was that, a few rats?”

“It was clearly a sea of rats!”

After cursing and taking a long moment to calm down, Song Yang finally regained his composure.

Without hesitation, he immediately started walking, heading skillfully towards the passage in the corner of the wall.

He was going to settle scores with Yuan Hao!

Song Yang, striding away, completely failed to notice that outside the skylight above, the setting sun was already almost gone.

Night began to slowly envelop the entire castle.

After crawling out of the passage, Song Yang immediately ran towards the staircase.

But as he ran, he felt something was off.

A familiar aura permeated the air.

This aura left an unforgettable impression on him.

Violent, frenzied, cold, merciless!

“No way… Boss, are you playing this dirty?”

Swallowing hard, Song Yang tremblingly turned his head.

The corridor was quiet; the figure he imagined was not there.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Song Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief again.

Just now, he almost thought Li Zhou had let that terrifying guy in too.

Shaking his head and not thinking too much, he continued running towards the stairs.

This time, he still didn't notice that his shadow underfoot was no longer his own appearance.

Soon, Song Yang met up with Yuan Hao and the others in the stairwell.

“Brother Yang, I’m sorry!”

“I wanted to go back and warn you that those rats were very fast, and there were even more rats in the room!”

“But before I could speak, you…”

Before Song Yang could demand an explanation, the moment Yuan Hao saw him appear, he immediately stepped forward to apologize, sounding very remorseful.

“I…”

Looking at the bowing Yuan Hao and his sincere tone.

Song Yang’s questioning words were stuck in his throat for a long time, and he finally swallowed them back.

“Alas, it’s fine, you didn’t do it on purpose.”

Waving his hand helplessly, Song Yang shook his head.

Since the other person had already apologized, what else could he do?

Of course, he had to forgive him.

At this time, the team couldn't afford internal strife.

“Brother Yang, how… how are you feeling?”

“Your screams just now were really scary.”

“Did those rats bite painfully?”

Unconsciously, even Dai Xiaomei started calling Song Yang “Brother.”

Looking at Song Yang, whose face was still a bit pale, she involuntarily swallowed, asking somewhat hesitantly.

Dai Xiaomei was most afraid of rats in her life.

And just now, she had been scared again.

Although she hadn't seen the specific scene, she could roughly guess what had happened from Song Yang's hysterical, pig-like screams.

Just thinking about being surrounded by a swarm of rats made Dai Xiaomei wish she could leave the castle right now.

However, apart from her, everyone else seemed to be thinking about how to clear the level.

To avoid appearing too incompetent, she could only grit her teeth and hold on.

“It’s alright, it doesn’t hurt much.”

“It’s just that some rats had no martial ethics, specifically targeting my weakly defended areas to bite!”

Song Yang spoke, sounding somewhat gritted-toothed.

He was telling the truth.

Just now, several rats specifically bit towards his crotch.

He was almost bitten unconscious by the countless rats, but then these few treacherous rats scared him back to consciousness.

It was simply torture!

“Huh?”

“Specifically targeting weakly defended areas to bite?”

Hearing Song Yang’s words, for a moment, whether it was Assistant Yuan Hao, or Dai Xiaomei, Qin Yao, and Ye Kexin, their bodies involuntarily trembled.

Yuan Hao was better off; at least he had experienced the feeling of being bitten by rats.

The others were not so lucky.

Especially the assistant, he subconsciously looked down at his own body.

Cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

“Brother Yang… truly a man!”

“I’m truly impressed!”

Yuan Hao and the assistant thought the same thing; he looked at Song Yang before him and was completely convinced.

A pain only men understand.

In that situation, Song Yang only screamed once; he truly lived up to his reputation as a beast of a man!

“So… what do we do next?”

“I remember the hint said we had to clear the level before dark, and a lot of time has passed, hasn’t it?”

Dai Xiaomei recovered, looking at everyone and asking.

“There’s no choice; now we can only use the crucifix.”

“The parchment must be obtained.”

Yuan Hao didn't speak now, handing over the command to Song Yang.

Song Yang didn’t hesitate, directly deciding to use the crucifix.

Damn it, I shouldn’t have been so stingy!

Not only did I not get the parchment, but I also didn’t see the situation on the second floor, and I suffered for nothing!

Hearing Song Yang’s decision, Yuan Hao immediately handed over the crucifix.

Song Yang took it, once again walking at the front of the group.

However, as he approached the third floor, he didn't go down directly.

Popping his head out, he glanced at the corridor.

The door to Room One, which he had opened earlier, was now closed again.

After confirming there were no remaining rats in the corridor, Song Yang then descended the stairs.

Soon, the group once again arrived outside Room One.

Song Yang took a deep breath.

He held the ancient crucifix in one hand, while with the other, under the tense gaze of everyone, he slowly reached for the doorknob.

Click!

Accompanied by a crisp sound of opening, a hair-raising scene reappeared.

Dense black rats squeezed into the room; looking at them, it was impossible to count how many there were.

Dai Xiaomei covered her mouth, forcefully suppressing the urge to scream.

Behind her, Qin Yao and Ye Kexin were not in much better condition.

Girls have a natural fear and aversion to creatures like rats.

Song Yang, his assistant, and Yuan Hao, although they performed a bit better, their faces were also very pale.

Anyone seeing this scene would probably feel their scalp tingle.

However, the crucifix ultimately did not disappoint everyone.

The moment the door opened, the crucifix in Song Yang’s hand suddenly burst forth with a brilliant light.

The next moment, countless squeaking sounds rang out.

The dense black rats, as if seeing a natural enemy, began to emit panicked cries and scattered in all directions.

In a short while, the room became quiet.

Countless rats vanished without a trace, no one knew where they went.

In the room, a parchment emitting an ancient aura floated quietly in the air, appearing very mysterious.
