[Experiment Serial Number: 029]
[Name: Hoshino Yoshi]
[Status: Stagnant]
[Description: Stimuli such as cutting, burning, freezing, and electric shock were used on the subject. Her body regenerates at an extremely fast speed, but this failed to elicit any reaction from her. Her thinking seems to have stagnated due to pain.]
[Appraisal Result: Failure]
...
[Experiment Serial Number: 015]
[Name: Mido Hanako]
[Status: Madness]
[Description: Injected the subject with 0.1 grams of Carfentanil, an injection amount sufficient to anesthetize ten adult elephants, but failed to make her stop moving.]
[Appraisal Result: Failure]
...
[Experiment Serial Number: 001]
[Name: Raiden Mei]
[Status: Cowardice (Crossed Out) / Inferiority (Crossed Out) / Out of Control]
[Description: Through suppression on the subject's spiritual level, successfully caused her to sink into negative emotions unable to extricate herself, but also successfully stimulated the power hidden in her body. Worthy of being the subject everyone was most optimistic about—Out of Control! She has gone completely out of control! There is no method capable of controlling her!]
[Appraisal Result: Failure (Crossed Out) / Success (Crossed Out) / Failure!]
Seeing the final entry about Raiden Mei, Leo's furrowed brows actually relaxed.
After all, judging from these documents, those people who created this place didn't have it easy either.
Otherwise, there is no reason for these documents that had clearly been written up to be left behind.
Obviously, at that time, they no longer had the energy to take away these precious materials exchanged for human lives.
It's just... where did the documents for [002] and [030] go?
Could it be, they are that Lord Guard Zombie whom he will never forget in his life, and that older sister of the Claw Zombie?
Thinking this, Raiden Mei's voice came from beside his ear.
"Behind those iron doors should be the experimental subjects from that time, right."
Although it was an interrogative sentence, Raiden Mei used an affirmative tone.
Having also finished reading the documents, her voice couldn't help but sound somewhat gloomy.
After all, seeing such inhumane experiments, as long as one is still human, one would absolutely be unable to accept it.
"Mn..."
Nodding, Leo spoke bluntly: "Let's go bring them release."
"Continuing to let them stay here will only leave them without peace."
According to the description in the documents, there should be twenty-nine cells here. Except for Raiden Mei who used the school building outside as a cell, the remaining experimental subjects were all locked up here.
Of course, many experimental subjects among them were marked as deceased, but Leo wasn't sure if that kind of death was truly useful.
Arriving at the cell opposite the office, he looked up and saw the door number [Experiment Serial Number: 030].
Looking inside through the observation port on the iron door, he didn't find any Zombies inside.
Obviously, the person in this cell should have... escaped?
Next, he came to the door of the room with the number [Experiment Serial Number: 029].
This time, he could see a Zombies inside.
However, compared to the ordinary Zombies he slew in the classrooms, this Zombies was obviously a bit more muscular.
Recalling the documents read earlier, he confirmed that the person locked inside was precisely that Hoshino Yoshi, on whom cutting, burning, freezing, and electric shock were ineffective, and whose body could recover rapidly.
But he didn't see the slightest hint of stagnation in the other party; even in the cell, she was still constantly spinning in circles, seemingly looking for something.
The glass used for the iron door's observation port was obviously a one-way mirror, so Hoshino Yoshi didn't discover Leo.
But as Leo was about to use the key obtained in the office to open the iron door, it immediately reacted, pouncing towards the iron door.
It was only because this iron door was thick enough; otherwise, with its terrifying strength, a thinner metal door wouldn't have been able to stop it at all.
And on its body, actually, there were already faintly some characteristics of turning into a Zombie, it's just that its main body was still that of a Zombies.
Perhaps if Leo came a little later, it really would have become one.
But now that it isn't a Zombie, then it has no chance, because Leo is here!
Admittedly in its experiment description, it has physical immunity, magic immunity, and super recovery, but it is ultimately still just a Zombies.
If it really became a Zombie, then Leo would really have a hard fight.
But a Zombies is a Zombies. With Leo's current combat power, wanting to slay it is still very easy, at most just using a bit more force.
—I've used so much force, you should die too!
[Imaginary Energy +42]
So... is over 50 a Zombie?
Watching the prompt popped up by Tongzi, Leo calculated secretly.
Sure enough, inside every subsequent iron door, there were Zombies about to become a Zombie, and the Imaginary Energy they turned into did not exceed 50.
Until—
[Experiment Serial Number: 015]
Arriving here, the Mido Hanako inside had already turned into a Zombie, a scythe of unknown origin appearing in her hands, and she was frantically hacking at the iron door.
However, this iron door was obviously the final safeguard of the experiment personnel here, plus the Zombie inside seemed to have completed the transformation not long ago, so this thick iron door was ultimately not chopped open.
But the raised slash marks on the iron door all proved the gold content of the Zombie inside.
It's just that Leo observed from the outside for a while, and he could clearly discover that the Zombie inside was inferior to the Lord Guard Zombie on the third floor... he was just too familiar with the Lord Guard Zombie!
So hesitating no longer, he opened the door and slashed!
"As expected, there is a gap."
[Imaginary Energy +50]
Solving the Zombie in the room with two or three slashes, he looked at the exploded Imaginary Energy, understanding the gap between the opponent and the Lord Guard Zombie.
Of course, this also included the reason that he had become stronger, as well as being able to use Honkai energy more proficiently.
As for the proficiency of Hokushin Ittō-ryū, although it had also increased, the proficiency of [Beginner: 87/100] was not enough to cause a qualitative change in him.
Actually, until now he still belonged to the layman category of this kendo, at most knowing how to exert force better than ordinary people.
But when really fighting, he actually often forgot the correct way of exerting force; this could only rely on his constant fighting, and then remembering through his body.
However, after so many battles, especially after fighting with two mini-BOSS level Zombies, he felt he had almost remembered it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't slay a Zombie so easily now... even if it was a Zombie upgraded from a Zombies!
[Imaginary Energy +52]
[Imaginary Energy +55]
[Imaginary Energy +59]
...
Finally, Leo arrived at the door of the last cell—
[Experiment Serial Number: 002]
Judging from the previous combat intensity, the existence here should be close to the Lord Guard Zombie.
More critically, there was no [002] in the documents, which made him unable to figure out the opponent's abilities.
And facing such an enemy with unknown abilities, he naturally had a huge headache.
Of course, thinking in a good direction... could the one locked inside be the Lord Guard Zombie?
However, looking at this tightly locked heavy iron door, he put down this unrealistic fantasy.
Looking inside through the iron door's observation port, and then... his expression completely froze!
Because lying on the bed inside was a young girl with snow-white long hair.
She was like the sleeping beauty in a fairy tale, sleeping soundly.
—White-haired dumpling, why are you here!?
