"That's what's called a 'mental breakdown'... Of course, some people also like to use terms like losing reason, falling into madness, or having a psychotic episode to describe that state, which all mean the same thing."

Gu Bifang continued, "Once you understand the cause of the mental breakdown, it will be easy to deal with it."

"If you want to eliminate mental pollution, the most direct and simplest way is to inject drugs... But this method has too many disadvantages. Even if you don't consider the problem of addiction and serious damage to the body, the simple fact that it is easy to develop drug resistance is a big problem that is difficult to solve."

"So, if it's not an extreme situation like now, it's better to use some physical means to treat it. For example, listen to a nice song, watch an interesting video, or eat a delicious meal... In short, do anything you like and want to do."

"Although these methods take a while to take effect, they have no side effects, and..."

Gu Bifang blinked his eyes and said, "The expensive medicine will not cause secondary damage to the already unhealthy mental state."

...I suspect you are implying that I am poor, and I have evidence.

Chi Yu complained in his heart.

"I see. So you mean to do everything you can to keep yourself happy?"

"Yes."

Gu Bifang snapped his fingers. "Isn't the purpose of life to pursue happiness? If you can't even feel the most basic pleasure, then what's the point of life?"

Chi Yu did not comment on his point of view.

She remained silent and quickly sorted out the information she had obtained so far.

This used to be an abandoned experimental building with five floors, each holding hundreds of mutated monsters.

The room where the monsters are imprisoned contains the props necessary for passing the level, including access cards, "cryogenic cloaks" and "virus inhibitors".

The role of the access card is self-evident. The reason why the "cryogenic cloak" is a necessary item is said to be because there is a monster on the first floor that is extremely sensitive to temperature. If you pass through the first floor without any precautions, there is at least an 80% chance that you will be killed by it on first sight.

As for the "virus inhibitor"... According to Gu Bifang, the air in this building is actually filled with low concentrations of toxins. The longer the challenger stays in the building, the more serious the poisoning will be.

Although there is no empirical evidence, there is a high probability that there is no antidote on the market. Without the virus inhibitor produced by Babel Tower, even if you avoid all risks and successfully escape from the building, you will eventually die from a sudden illness.

After listening to Gu Bifang's introduction, Chi Yu had a new understanding of the degree of the "emperor's" bad taste.

It seems like there are roads everywhere, but after actually trying it, you find that they are all dead ends... This is simply the highest level of game design.

Chi Yu was complaining in his heart when suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door, like the collapse of heaven and earth.

In the room, Chi Yu and Gu Bifang looked at each other.

"It looks like that group of people will find this place soon." Gu Bifang took out his weapon, a brass pistol, "We have to find another place."

Chi Yu nodded first, then as if he had thought of something, he glanced into the depths of the room where the light could not illuminate.

She asked, "You said before that you had gotten rid of the monster in this room?"

"Yes."

Gu Bifang asked back, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious...did the monster undergo any special changes before it died? For example...a second-stage mutation or something like that."

Gu Bifang: “…”

Considering that the monster in front of him was a prosthetically modified monster with extraordinary combat power, he considered his words carefully: "For an individual, the expression of genes is generally very stable."

In other words -

Secondary mutation?

Are you playing a game? The boss has a second stage of berserk state?

Chi Yu ignored his ambiguous look and said to himself, "Can the emperor of the Tower of Babel monitor our actions in real time?"

Gu Bifang replied: "Such an exciting game must be broadcast live throughout the whole process."

Understood.

Chi Yu nodded: "The emperor should have the means to make the monsters mutate a second time."

In this sentence, she used a declarative sentence.

Gu Bifang raised his eyebrows: "Are you so sure?... Well, although I don't know why, the biotechnology of Babel Tower has indeed advanced rapidly in recent years, even to a somewhat unbelievable level."

"Even anti-human technology like multi-species fusion has been developed. It is not impossible to artificially induce mutations in all cells of the body and show completely new sexual characteristics."

It sounds like science fiction though.

Chi Yu continued nodding: "Just now my sanity... mental pollution index soared, and in the confusion, I remembered some of my memories."

“It’s some previous experience.”

As her sanity decreased, the images that emerged in her mind were incoherent, but the two completely different monsters and the somewhat distorted hissing left a very deep impression on her.

If she understood correctly, after she defeated the chimera-like monster, a broadcast suddenly sounded from inside the wall, and then the dying monster underwent a "second mutation".

As expected, it was controlled by the "Tower of Babel".

Outside the door, there were gunshots, explosions, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground...all kinds of noises became more and more frequent, showing the intensity of the battle.

Chi Yu raised his head and looked towards Gu Bifang.

Seeing that he seemed a little nervous, she thought about it and decided to put Dr. Zheng Chengze's philosophy into practice: "Do you want to play a game?"

Listening to the sound getting closer, Gu Bifang suppressed his somewhat anxious mood and asked, "What game?"

"If I'm guessing correctly, although Babel can cause monsters to mutate a second time, for the sake of the naturalness of the 'live broadcast', he usually won't do it himself."

Therefore, she must have made some moves before that attracted the attention of the onlookers.

They thought she would definitely die, but unexpectedly, her performance exceeded everyone's expectations.

Those high-handed and self-proclaimed superior spectators would certainly not be happy to be suddenly slapped in the face by a poor man from the West District... Therefore, Babel Tower activated the backup plan and personally arranged a death scenario for her character named "Chenxi".

Unfortunately, Chi Yu did not cooperate with them and tore up the script.

Chi Yu didn’t think that… Babel Tower, which had suffered losses twice in a row at her hands, would let him go.

Now that you have been targeted... then, instead of waiting for the other party to play a card, it is better to take the initiative to step up to the card table and have a hearty game with the "dealer" hiding in the dark.

Chi Yu looked at Gu Bifang and said, "Guess what, if I can kill multiple monsters in a short period of time...will Babel Tower be unable to resist and come down to get rid of this uncontrollable 'threat' of me?"
