Chapter 778: 778
Kieran was looking at the room, which after putting in a single bed, one would have to walk sideways to get out . He couldn't help but shake his head .
He didn't want to linger in the room for a second longer .
The wooden flooring was badly rotten, despite how Kieran carefully moved around, his steps would produce irritating squeaks . The room had no window either, so the mattress on the bed was very humid to the point it has started to go moldy .
The only instrument of a light source inside the room was an oil lamp extended from the wooden wall but the oil was used up long ago, leaving only a dried up filament .
Kieran took his bag from the front side of the bed and double checked the room again . He turned around and went out through the door after making sure there weren't any valuable pieces of information left behind .
Inside the dark and narrow corridor, there was only an oil lamp lit at the entrance .
The vile stench of overdue cleaning and feces filled the place, a couple of drunkards were lying on the corridor, snoring loudly .
Drunk scoldings and sharp screams from shrews were rumbling in the rooms along the corridor . They were arguing about the difference in prices of the beer they drank .
The drunkards along the corridor were woken up but all they did was mockingly laugh before passing out again . None of them were bothered about the place they fell asleep, neither did they care about the environment around them .
"People destroyed by despair . "
Kieran commented in his heart, he slowly, carefully moved along the drunkard's legs .
He would not let his guard down because of how harmless the drunkards were, neither would he trample their pride because of the way of living they chose .
After he crossed the last drunkard and reached the entrance leading up to the surface, the slight breeze caressed his face and slightly blew over the stench in the corridor .
Kieran eagerly hastened his steps and right at that very moment, the last drunkard that Kieran crossed suddenly rose up with a dagger in his hand, giving out a cold glare and drove the dagger towards the back of Kieran's heart .
Not only was it sudden, but it was also extremely fast .
However, to Kieran, who never let his guard down, the sudden strike was very lacking .
He didn't even have the thought of dodging, instead, he dished out a kick behind him .
When the dagger was still some distance away, Kieran's kick already landed on the drunkard's chest .
Crack!
The drunkard's check caved in clearly and was flying backward but as the drunkard's feet were leaving the ground, Kieran turned around and grabbed his arm, pulling him back and laid him down on the floor softly .
Kieran would not show any mercy to his enemies, otherwise, he wouldn't have killed the drunkard with one kick . The reason he pulled the drunkard back because he didn't want to startle the others around him .
After a quick search on the attacker who pretended to be a drunkard, Kieran's face turned heavy .
There wasn't anything extra on the attacker except for the dagger and connecting it to the timing the attacker struck… He was a professional!
"Is it because of Herbert?" Kieran's eyes shone brightly .
It was the only reason he could think of .
Herbert who was pretending have memory loss was under government surveillance and now Kieran who had just entered the dungeon world was attacked .
Although the attacker was nothing more than a goon, it was still enough to tell him the situation wasn't too good .
When the thought came into his mind, Kieran quickly went up to the surface without a second thought .
Compared to the vile stench underground, the surface was countless times better .
Although there were no extra decorations, the environment was clean and had a counter filled with keys in sight, it told Kieran that the place he came through was a hotel, the cheapest one available .
The attendant or the owner himself was sleeping soundly on the counter .
Kieran didn't startle the man and quietly walked out of the hotel .
