Chapter 228: Darkness Dungeon (2)
noveℓ.com Adrian cautiously stepped into the dark room, his senses on high alert. He had expected to encounter the dungeon’s boss monster in there. But what he found instead left him stunned.
As he entered one of the rooms, the lights flickered to life, revealing rows upon rows of cryotubes lining the walls. Inside each tube lay a soldier, deep in slumber.
But that wasn’t the thing that surprised him. The uniforms those soldiers wore were the same as the ones who attacked the villa last night. It was enough evidence to link Hera to the incident.
Although it wouldn’t accomplish anything, it would leave an impression on the entities. After all, not everyone would pursue a matter like that just for the sake of it. Adrian could benefit from it later on.
However, he was about to find something even more disturbing.
’What the hell...’
Adrian proceeded to the next room, where an even more chilling sight awaited him. Hundreds, if not more, of people were strapped to bizarre-looking chairs. Their heads were encased in strange machines that Adrian couldn’t figure out the head or the tail of.
However, he knew one thing for sure: Those devices were being used to manipulate and control hunters’ minds and turn them into Hera’s mindless followers. Disgust filled Adrian when he realised the depth of Hera’s scheme.
’And here I thought my opinion of her couldn’t get any lower... fuck, at least now I won’t feel regret for doing what I’m here to do.’
Earlier, he had questioned his decision to kill the guards and the scientists, but after seeing what he had, Adrian wondered if he had gone too easy on them.
