Since no one came for them and the only thing they did is tie their legs and patch up the wounds and continue waiting. I decided not to play with them anymore.
Headshots are definite kill, yes. But a bit hard to aim. So i am just going for their chest, they can't tie anything there right?
8 shots, 4 kills. Today, marks the not yet 6 years old me, killing 4 persons already in a single encounter. But am I going to remember this date? No. I am not celebrating their death anniversary or something.
I approached the stairs. Not exposing myself. I start to detect my surroundings again. As expected, the other side also have another 4 people. Either both of them are on a stalemate just now, or both parties are in cahoots to kill anyone who wanted to go up.
I threw a pebble on the stairs. Was immediately greeted with a shot of arrow. Ok, has to be latter or some sorts.
Come to think of it, how did they already be camping to target people like me. It is as if they know the layout already?
I need some attack to go upwards. I already spent almost 2kg for the glock and suppressor. 1kg…
"Mother, I ask for one stun grenade."
And here, a small rod like stuff is resting on my hand.
"Boo!" I exclaimed. Attracting their attention. My return greeting is this stun. After knowing the effect is gone, I immediately rush up, silencing anyone who is stunned.
8 people, same uniform. Quite unusual. Ironically, all of them have the same anti alex tatoo hidden at right shoulder. So it is rebels? But what does that got to do with me? Damn.

Meanwhile, at the other side.
"We have a situation there. The dungeon layout changed"
"Proceed with Plan B"
"Roger."

P-P-P-P-

"Are you all alright?" A mysterious party approached us with a smiling face. They looked soo overjoyed.
It is the time of the year. Because this dungeon is known to only change layout yearly. Hence, the time has come when adventurer guild will spend money to commission for map data. Easy money.
"Only three person? Where did your another one go?"
Yes, Mira, Hanbo and Selene myself, ended up very near the exit. But, we have no idea on Kei.
"So that is what happened. Ok, we be going down."
We registered our return as well as Kei's missing at the field hospital. That said, it is just temporary beds for us to recover and some first aid.
Tho my arm got twisted. I still can extend my vines. I took up a corner of the entrance. And started to extend my vines. Kei, please be safe.
"So Kei is still inside alone?" A couple spoke to the guards at the entrance, they are fully equipped. No, why are they approaching me?
Guy: "This is definitely one of the girls he mentioned…"
Gal: "Yes, definitely one of those vix.. his classmate." Hey, I can hear you..
Gal: "So which one is you, Mira or Selene?"
"Se…" Before I even finish my sentence, the guy just started going on.
Guy: "Haha, Selene it is. Nice. My boy did have good eyes. He definitely took up on me."
Gal: "In what sense?"
Guy: "My… Gender!"
Dude? Why are you even here?
They started to question me on my reason to extend my vines here. After telling them that this is my only way to locate Kei, they nodded.
"This is Galan"
"Maera"
" "Kei's parent.""
Eh? Does that count as met the parents?
They certainly don't sound worried.

As I successfully went up a level, this is definitely basement four or nine. The deepest ever recorded here is 10. Since I left the purple wall level to a normal brown wall.
That said, I can't be just killing any human I meet on the way up. I kept my glock after setting it to safe. Shouldn't be trying to expand too much shots. I pulled my dagger, swinging a sword will take too much energy. As expected from myself.
Bad growling, but good thing it is not human opponent. They didn't detect my presence yet. Damn, Orcs wearing human armor. Not one of my size, cannot loot.
My arrows have a few options. The eye, left armpit, the throat. Shooting the eyes doesn't damage the eyes alone. Arrows are not equipped with brakes, they will just pierce to the brain, and they will probably just pull the arrow out. Glup, I can't be throwing up to my inner thoughts. The other two points are quite straight forward: soft. But most of their throat are covered by the armor.
But still, this is not going to be easy. Because a headshot alone might not cut it. My arrows are just sharpened woodsticks, highly doubt it's ability to pierce through skull.
A sniper will wait for the perfect chance to get a shot in. If you are hidden, it is good. Wait for their sleeping time. And get their eye!
Good, one down without making a single noise. I retreated to be a merlion.
I really, really don't want to end up fighting orcs in close quarters. Not with my close to 6 years old height. I don't want an accidental encounter of his rod of life hitting my face. Even though it is also a weak spot.
Hmm? An extending vine? I wrote "K" on it with my finger. Soon enough, it stopped extending.
Good news, someone found me, probably Selene. Bad news, I have to pass by those orcs in order to go up.
————
K? Kei? I looked around, Galan and Maera are long gone. They went straight in without even in a standard 4 man party. Still, the guards actually let them in. I have never heard of such thing ever happening. Bribe? The guards are known to be not taking it.
Kei, just who are you and what are your parents actually made of?
