Chapter 547: Killing Tower (9)

Chi Yu knew the answer to this question very well, but he raised it at this time just to hear the opinion of this aboriginal.

Maybe we can get some useful information.

And the other party did not disappoint her.

The young man named Gu Bifang asked back, "You've never heard of the 'Murder Game' before?"

"Ah."

Gu Bifang raised his eyebrows and showed an expression that said "this is not surprising".

He chose his words carefully: "The founder of this game, the emperor of the Tower of Babel, was not a benevolent monarch."

"Babel is an emerging force that has risen in the past decade. The division of power and the re-establishment of rules are always accompanied by cruel blood and fire. The emperor was able to bite off a piece of meat from the other major companies and force them to recognize Babel's status. His methods were undoubtedly cold and tough."

"He has always adhered to the cruel law of the jungle, believing that only those who can constantly adapt to society are qualified to survive in this deformed world... and this 'killing game' perfectly implements his philosophy."

"According to the information I have obtained, this building was once the biological laboratory of the Tower of Babel, which was used to secretly promote research in areas such as genetic evolution... But I don't know if something went wrong, and it was abandoned after only two years of operation."

"In two years, countless experimental subjects that failed to evolve were produced... Babel Tower invested countless money and energy in them, so naturally they were unwilling to let them go to waste. Therefore, after deciding to hold the killing game, the emperor simply transformed the building into a game venue."

"We are now on the fifth floor of the building, which is also the highest floor. Each floor here has dozens or even hundreds of rooms. Each room holds a genetically mutated monster and contains some props that are either useful or useless."

Seeing Chi Yu looking at the "optical camouflage elements" in his hand, Gu Bifang nodded: "Yes, these are the things."

He continued, "There is an elevator at the end of the corridor. You need to swipe a card to enter. It is the only passage to the downstairs. The access card that can open the elevator is used as a prop and is hidden in an unknown room."

Chi Yu understood: "So, if you want to go downstairs, you must keep exploring the room like opening a blind box, defeat the monsters inside, and find the access card?"

"Yes."

Chi Yu frowned slightly.

Even for them, the players, this is not an easy task to accomplish.

Gu Bifang just said that there are hundreds of rooms on each floor. If you are unlucky, you may have to drive to the last room before you can find the access card.

The strength of those monsters was average, but dealing with them always consumed spiritual and physical strength, and even the number of times one could use one-time items and skills. Even if one could get supplies from the rooms, not every room had practical weapons.

For example, the "optical camouflage" found by Gu Bifang is, according to him, a relatively useless prop, because monsters often do not simply lock prey through vision, smell and hearing can also be used as tools for hunting.

but……

The so-called "not easy" is for individual players like Chi Yu. Now that the other two player teams have reached a cooperation, it is still very easy for twelve players around level 20 to fully explore the entire fifth floor.

As if he could see what she was thinking, Gu Bifang smiled and said, "Are you even more confused after hearing this? According to the game mechanism, it is obviously more efficient to clear the level through cooperation."

Chi Yu raised his eyes and asked: "Did the emperor set up any restrictive rules?"

"Of course." Gu Bifang smiled, "I said that the adult adheres to the absolutely cruel and strict law of the jungle. For humans, the dangers of the jungle never only come from the surrounding environment and possible beasts, but also from humans themselves."

"Although the elevator can be entered by swiping a card, its load capacity is limited and it can only transport a maximum of ten people at a time." However, there are twenty challengers in each round of the killing game.

Chi Yu understood.

She thought for a moment: "Is the elevator one-way?"

Gu Bifang nodded appreciatively: "That's right, the elevator can only go from top to bottom. Unless someone above swipes a card and presses the down button again, it will never return to the previous floor."

"Besides the elevator, is there any way up from the lower floors?"

"Have."

Gu Bifang nodded again, "Just like every room where wild beasts are imprisoned has props hidden, the emperor also left a way out for the challengers in the escape passage."

"There is a fire escape in the opposite direction from the elevator, which can only be entered by swiping a card... and, like the elevator, that passage is also one-way."

"It's just that it's a one-way passage from bottom to top."

Chi Yu whispered, "So, as long as the first group of people who go downstairs bring up the access cards, everyone can leave here safely."

"That's right." Gu Bifang spread his hands, "But this is just a perfect 'theory'."

"Until they try, no one can be sure what other hidden rules the emperor has set."

Gu Bifang smiled and said, "What if the elevator door is equipped with a facial recognition system and people who have already taken the elevator once cannot enter again?"

"What if the access card has a limit on the number of times it can be used and is a one-time consumable item?"

"The elevator from the fifth floor to the fourth floor has a limit of ten people at a time. What if the limit from the fourth floor to the third floor, and from the third floor to the second floor decreases in sequence?"

The smile on Gu Bifang's face gradually faded. "For the challengers who are selected to participate in the game, every time you open a room and face a monster, you are accumulating fear."

"The more fear they have, the more suspicious they become of their strange companions. The more suspicious they are, the more likely they are to commit so-called 'betrayal' acts."

He shrugged. "It can't be helped. You can't expect a person to remain rational even when he is about to die."

Chi Yu understood completely.

"Is this why that group of people united and decided to get rid of us first?"

"That's right." Gu Bifang smiled again. "Although I don't know why, they probably reached a consensus from the beginning... Maybe they knew each other? Or they recognized each other's strength?"

"However, there are twelve of them in total... Even if they can unite for a short period of time now, they will definitely fall apart in the future."

"I never doubt the Emperor's ability to control people's hearts."

Look at his confident expression.

...Although they will definitely break up, it is definitely not because they were defeated by that emperor...but because they got rid of me, the "third party".

Chi Yu complained in his heart.
