Death League 101: I'm Dead In 10 Minutes!-Chapter 79: “Midnight Hunting Spree (53): Human Exhibition Hall”

Chapter 79: “Midnight Hunting Spree (53): Human Exhibition Hall”

The woman’s words alarmed Leinster and the other people in his group.

What?? There’s indeed a time limit!

Everyone didn’t know when the deadline was, but since the guardian spirit said that there was a time limit, the group couldn’t stand still anymore.

"How about...we separate now?"

Jung Ryeo, who said that they shouldn’t separate, was the first to lick his own saliva.

"What? You didn’t say that before."

Leinster rolled his eyes at the man and Jung Ryeo’s face instantly flushed red with embarrassment.

Then, he subconsciously raised his voice at Leinster, trying to hide his true thoughts.

"What do you know?? If there’s a time limit, we have to find the skull as soon as possible! With so many exhibits here, do you think— "

"Okay, okay, I get it! But we still need a partner. Let’s split into two groups."

Leinster waved his hands and cut off Jung Ryeo’s words, making him speechless.

"Y-you! Damn criminal!"

Seeing the two childish guys bantering in front of the big boss, Hyo Eun sighed and intervened in a gentle voice,

"Let’s split into two groups. I’ll go with this boy. I’m worried about him."

"Huh?"

"What?"

Leinster and Jung Ryeo spoke at the same time, their tone so harsh that even "Otomen Lover" silently distanced herself from the two.

"What? Are there any objections?"

Hyo Eun looked at the two guys with a gentle smile, but the two guys felt a chill down their spines.

Even Leinster, who feared nothing, suddenly felt something was awakening in his body—

The primal fear towards a mother.

"N-no, no objections. You can take care of that boy."

Leinster quickly gave in and Jung Ryeo immediately looked at Leinster as if he betrayed his whole family.

Dude, why are you backing out so easily?

You coward!

But Jung Ryeo didn’t dare to speak, so he could only watch as the ghost mother took the Sealed Demon King to explore the hall.

With the ghost mother there, the boy would definitely be safe.

As for the two of them....

The two men looked at each other again and immediately looked away with a snort.

Who wants to go with this guy??

But they knew that going together would increase their survival rate, so they had no choice but to look at Otomen Lover and smile stiffly.

"Let’s go, please continue to guide us."

"Sure~ "

Otomen Lover answered with a cheerful voice and somehow, this time, Leinster suddenly felt that Otomen Lover was back to her original self, albeit only that split second.

The three people quickly moved past several artifacts while the guardian spirit inside Otomen Lover explained the artifacts’ history to them.

Starting from a statue that looked like a living human being frozen alive, to a mummy that was still twitching from time to time, some artifacts that were clearly made out of human body parts and bones...

The hall had every bizarre thing you could and couldn’t imagine, including a strange species of a human body being merged with animals and other stuff.

Leinster kept a cold face until they toured half of the hall, but there were still no traces of the skull.

Strangely, there was no danger along the way, extremely different from before they entered the hall where even walking could bump into danger.

But the more calm and peaceful it was, the more uneasy the two challengers became.

Even other challengers started to look around with wary faces, their mind was highly alert.

Is this the calm before the storm?

Just when everyone’s strings were taut...

A scream from somewhere in the hall finally broke the calm.

"Ahhhh— "

Leinster and Jung Ryeo looked at each other for a split second before they sprinted towards the source of the voice with Otomen Lover trailing slowly behind them.

Once the two people arrived at the source of the scream, a crowd was already gathered there, so they couldn’t see anything, but the challengers around started to whisper in trembling voices.

"D-did you see that? That guy...he touched a mummy, intending to steal the bones, but then, the mummy suddenly...suddenly..."

"Suddenly what??"

"I-it suddenly pounced on the guy, a-and sucked...sucked him dry!"

"Hissss....he’s done for."

"N-no, there are more. A-after that, an empty display box suddenly appeared and t-the new mummy guy actually walked towards the new display box."

Silence.

The challengers who were listening to the story slowly looked at the display box that suddenly appeared right next to the old one— 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Inside, there was indeed a mummified human that they couldn’t recognize if not for the brand new clothes.

So...the guy died and became a part of the hall’s collections?

The thoughts instantly sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

If that’s the case, how could they get the bones to finally summon the guardian spirit?

Or should they just...

Kill the woman outright?

Just when the crowd was harboring a dangerous thought, Hyo Eun suddenly raised her voice, attracting everyone’s attention.

"I got a clue. The bone we need is a skull, not other bones."

"What? How did you know— "

"My team member asked the guardian spirit on the spot and she said that."

...should they believe what the guardian spirit said or not?

Just when the crowd was in a dilemma, someone suddenly posed a question.

"Then which skull should we take?"

...yeah. The mummy also had a skull, but if they took it, they would turn into a mummy!

The crowd felt a headache before someone suddenly slapped their thighs.

"Ah! Can’t we just buy the artifacts?"

Buying it would definitely be safe!

The crowd felt that it was a feasible idea but then, Otomen Lover’s ethereal voice floated into the crowd.

"I only accept a one-to-one payment. If you want to buy a mummy, you have to give me a mummy~ Oh, the thief’s mummy doesn’t count."

In an instant, everyone’s eyes changed and they subconsciously distanced themselves from the crowd, their eyes scanning the challengers’ faces, their thoughts unknown.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, someone suddenly spoke,

"Hey, don’t we have that criminal bastard?"

"Why don’t we just use him?"
