That's impossible!

It's not yet 00:11. How did this anomaly appear?

Have the hotel rules become invalid?

Or perhaps she can appear outside of curfew but won't harm hotel residents, thus qualifying as harmless…

Before the thought fully formed, a sharp pain assaulted 13mArk's brain.

His chest, or rather, the chest of the mercury blood amber golem, was sliced open.

The weapon used was a naginata with a long handle and wide blade.

Wh...when...

13mArk's mind felt sluggish. The mercury blood amber golem slowly raised its head, looking at the ceiling directly above the corridor—the old woman in red was hanging upside down there, her withered right hand gripping the end of the naginata's handle, the sharp blade pointing diagonally at the wall.

In that fleeting moment, the hunched old woman drew the slender naginata from beneath her red clothes, gripping the front of the handle and wielding the long weapon like a katana, slashing diagonally across the mercury blood amber's chest with lightning speed.

The naginata's blade passed through the body,

The wound extended from the left shoulder to the right waist, resembling the neckline of the upper half of a monk's robe.

A袈裟斬 (Kesa-giri - Robe Cut).

The mercury golem was split in two, silver metallic liquid surging from the wound.

The next moment, the golem's shoulder blades suddenly cracked open, and two plasma shoulder cannons emerged from the skin, firing fiercely at the old woman on the ceiling.

The charged particle clusters, containing terrifying energy, emitted a dazzling light that could scorch the eyes, sweeping across the ceiling like two razors.

Zzzzz!

The corridor echoed with a harsh noise like a thousand birds chirping. The heated air formed waves, washing over the red carpet's fibers.

Three seconds later, the plasma cannons went silent.

The originally silver-bright barrels of the two small shoulder cannons were now a molten red due to overheating.

And the once-beige corridor ceiling was now covered with a large, X-shaped patch of black scorch marks.

Even this level of destruction can't damage the hotel itself…

13mArk clenched his fist subconsciously.

The strength of the mercury blood amber lies in its ability to share skills and equipment with the player.

As long as the two maintain a physical connection, 13mArk's skills and equipment can be remotely copied to the mercury blood amber—provided the total numerical value remains the same.

13mArk isn't a Dou Dizhu enthusiast. He's never had the habit of playing all the small cards first.

He is a leader who rose from the bottom, stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, to build a giant gang.

Before the opponent can react or prepare, crush any possibility of resistance with a thunderous strike.

That's his habit.

The plasma shoulder cannon from just now had a short pre-casting time, subtle pre-casting movements, high skill damage, a wide range, and quick effectiveness.

It consumed about a third of the spiritual power in his body.

Even a metal plate made of titanium alloy could be easily melted by it.

For players of this level, the cost-effectiveness is extremely high.

You probably couldn't find many pieces of equipment with similar effects even if you searched the entire system store.

"Not dead..."

The mercury golem standing in the corridor murmured to itself, the silver liquid surging from the wound left by the Kesa-giri, healing the terrible injury as if nothing had happened.

The old woman in red seemed to be covered in some kind of concealment effect. The plasma shoulder cannon's infrared guidance function didn't work.

The mercury golem relied on visual estimation to activate the plasma shoulder cannons,

And relied on the skill 【狼蛛目锁】 (Lang Zhu Mu Suo - Tarantula Eye Lock), shared by 13mArk (the effect is to force yourself to look directly at the opponent, see their location, and ignore some low-level concealment skills),

Continuously locking onto the old woman in red's location, driving the plasma beams to sweep horizontally.

13mArk, who could share the mercury golem's field of vision, was very certain that his 【狼蛛目锁】 (Lang Zhu Mu Suo - Tarantula Eye Lock) skill had indeed taken effect on the old woman in red.

The plasma beam also did, at the beginning for about 0.83 seconds, hit the surface of the old woman in red's body, cutting open her spine.

But in the strong light filling the corridor, the other party disappeared inexplicably.

The 【狼蛛目锁】 (Lang Zhu Mu Suo - Tarantula Eye Lock) skill directly lost its target,

Forcing the plasma cannons, which had to fire for three seconds, to continue firing, wasting a lot of spiritual power in vain and causing the shoulder cannons to enter a long cooldown period.

Where?

The air raid siren was still ringing.

13mArk immediately reduced the detection range of the mercury blood amber's title skill.

He didn't hear the system prompt, which meant that he hadn't truly eliminated the old woman in red and received the reward.

Where...

The mercury golem's detection range continued to shrink, all the way down to five centimeters, and was still ringing.

What's going on?

13mArk remained pressed against the door, with the fingertip of the mechanical arm extended through the keyhole.

Without hesitation, he slightly retracted his index finger, raised his right middle finger, causing the fingertip of his middle finger to also split, extending a mechanical syringe.

Extending it through the keyhole.

His body had undergone extensive mechanical modification. Rather than a living person, he was more like a synthetic construct of mechanical prosthetics.

Each of his ten fingers was equipped with different mechanical components.

The right index finger was for storing and releasing 【水银血珀】 (Shui Yin Xue Po - Mercury Blood Amber),

And the right middle finger was...

Buzz—

The mechanical device at the tip of his middle finger extended out of the keyhole, releasing a low hum without any warning.

Sound waves contacted the solid surface, rebounded, ricocheted, interfered with each other, and finally converged again.

It's true that the hotel can devour the range of detection skills,

But the mercury blood amber, which can share skills and equipment, is like a repeater.

With the help of sound wave feedback, 13mArk and the mercury golem can "see" the scene in the corridor.

The ceiling, no,

The rooms, no,

The floor, no,

Wait, the sound wave feedback from one place seems a little different...

Inside the eighth-floor room, 13mArk's pupils suddenly dilated.

A mass of irregular, extremely shriveled red material was lying on the back of the mercury golem.
