Jack turned his arms behind him, grasping with both hands, rhythmically stretching his arms.

At the same time, his neck and ankles weren't idle either, swaying with the rhythm of the stretch, as if engaging in activities after a meal.

Although his build was on the sturdy side, as a Mercenary, Jack's body also possessed significant flexibility, allowing him to perform exaggerated movements that ordinary people couldn't achieve.

And this was almost identical to the symptoms described on the note.

At this moment, Yun You fell completely silent.

She didn't know what to say, only a headache simmered, and her chest clenched with panic.

The young girl couldn't help but turn away, dry heaving a couple of times to slightly ease her mood, before looking back at the note.

[③. Due to being unaccustomed to human flesh, "it" occasionally will vomit, but usually won't expel anything, as "it" tightly locks food within]

Alright.

Now Yun You herself was also a suspect.

If Jack and Frost Moon were aware of the note's contents, this small team may have already started scheming against each other.

Yun You found it peculiar.

Why could the content on the note manifest so quickly in all three of them?

Could it be... merely a coincidence?

But if it wasn't a coincidence, then what was the reason? Could it be that the person writing the note possessed foreknowledge, could glimpse the future, thus using this method to warn Yun You?

This possibility exists, yet it's not very probable, given the note's author was merely an ordinary foreman, unlikely to possess the same [Future Sight] as Yun You.

The young girl let out a long sigh, forcibly suppressing all unease, and continued reading.

[4. At present, besides transforming into human form, "it" doesn't seem to possess other attack methods, but honestly, it may be that I haven't seen them, or "it" deems them unnecessary]

[5. Though we currently have no way of defeating "it," later generations mustn't fear it, for it essentially resembles those cowardly external creatures, likes harming the weak, yet is afraid of the strong]

[You must not fear it; the more afraid you are, the more it will cling to you. Only through resistance, continuous resistance and pondering, can there be a chance at life]

[As for methods to utterly defeat it, and means to escape here... haha, later generations, do not seek answers from us failures, if we knew, would you still find us here?]

[Live well, survive at all costs, do not think of other unrealistic things]

[If you insist on thinking, then take my advice: keep going deeper, at this fork choose a suitable path and walk it to the end, then perhaps answers may be found]

[In sum, take care... good luck, never bow to it]

[...]

[...]

[XX (Aurora's note: Here are large segments of ink stains, unclear whether intentional or accidental, and the subsequent text completely changes tone, carrying a trace of madness, feels like the foreman's writing during mental instability)]

[(In sum, read carefully, I will also annotate beside the font with brackets)]

[...]

[They... Lao Gao, Lao Yang (likely foreman's companions) all say I'm insane]

[But I know clearly, I'm not mad, I'm the sanest one]

[What bullshit methods, what measures, none work, all useless! They simply don't understand "it," and talk of prevention, all nonsense! (This seems to contradict earlier statements; why has his mental state shifted like this? Could he be defeated?)]

[It's omnipresent, it's omnipotent! If it wishes, it has countless ways to infiltrate among us, even with all precautions made, there's not a hint of use! It hasn't acted simply to toy with us slowly...]

[This is a hunter, who after mastering the outcome, commits acts of "toy with the prey." We are now meat on the chopping board, absolutely no room for escape]

[The only means of resistance is death... yes, only death! After dying and becoming haunting corpses, will it... will that bastard end up empty-handed]

[Death is liberation and truth!]

[Thinking thus, I took a knife to stab one Lao Yang, yet this bastard refused the liberation, what's this... this is clearly the only way for us to achieve liberation! Why does he resist me?!]

[No choice, I initially wanted him to die swiftly, yet he insists on resisting, so I had to stab several times, letting him die in agony]

[His wailing before death attracted others, yet they indiscriminately attacked me with knives! Bastards! Why can't they understand me?! (He killed his companions...)]

[I could only flee, like an Assassin, stealthily hiding in the dark, using their distraction, secretly infiltrated the camp, killing one by one]

[Start with the weak. The pregnant female worker, smashed her alongside the baby in her belly; the old miner paralyzed from work, cut his throat; the sick child laborer, strangled with socks... (Oh my...)]

[In a short period, I cleaned out the entire camp, all those former companions liberated under my knife]

[They should thank me! I freed them from facing "it," spared them from endless terror and nightmares!]

[But... but why did they show such despair in the end? Isn't it mistaken... bringing them to this fate was "it," not me! Why hate me?]

[Perhaps, those like me with clarity, are destined to be the minority (I don't think you're clear-headed)]

[And the facts also prove, I am right]

[Those companions I killed eventually all transformed into haunting corpses, endlessly walking in the tunnel]

[Thus, "it's" plan is completely thwarted, at least temporarily, unable to complete the ritual]

[In the end, I still triumphed! (This is very odd, I originally thought the foreman was affected by "it's" plan, but if so, why did those killed by the foreman become monsters?)]

[At this moment, most of my workers have successfully transformed into haunting corpses]

[Only I am left...]

[I will die, to implement my method]

[Final advice to newcomers: trust no one, only trust yourself, trust your judgment, then... kill!]

[Seize the initiative, eliminate so-called companions, only by doing so can one thwart "it's" plot]

[Have no hesitation, because those companions may not be who you know, but "it's" minions]

[Kill... kill!]

[...]

[No... wrong... wrong wrong wrong wrong...]

[I missed something, seems I missed something, not just killing, killing isn't enough...]

[Ah...]

[Damn frustrating, just missed the final...]

[Forget it]

[Farewell]
