Chapter 569 Killing Tower (31)

"In fact, I already knew about it when my identity was first exposed. After all... well, I am at least a senior executive in the company."

Gu Bifang smiled indifferently, "But I guessed at that time that Babel Tower would definitely throw the spy into the 'killing game', so I simply took advantage of the situation and came in to see what this mysterious former laboratory is like..."

Chi Yu looked at him: "...Have you forgotten that our every move is under the surveillance of the Tower of Babel?"

Do you dare to say this?

What if people suspect that you have mastered some secrets... Even if you can escape today, you will probably be caught again.

"What's the big deal?" Gu Bifang said nonchalantly, "If I really get out, I will be a great contributor to Deep Sea Pharmaceuticals. Babel Tower doesn't dare to confront Deep Sea Pharmaceuticals head-on."

……Fine.

"Don't talk about this."

Gu Bifang said, "You asked if anyone knows the tricks to pass the game. Do you want to know if anyone has survived the game in the past seven years?"

"Ah."

"Then I can tell you clearly... No."

Gu Bifang said firmly, "Not even one."

"Except for the poor people in the West District who know nothing about the murder game, mercenaries and corporate spies generally know something about it."

"Among them, some mercenaries who have received money and have a certain reputation know even more than I do. Before assigning them to come in, Babel Tower will tell them some methods and techniques, and even provide them with certain assistance, such as transplanting a few powerful prosthetics."

"After all, a show needs to have a balance between tension and relaxation to be interesting. If everyone fails on the fifth floor and is killed by monsters, even those high-level executives who enjoy killing people for fun will get tired of it."

"but."

Gu Bifang lowered his voice and said, "Even so, no one has ever passed it."

Chi Yu thought for a moment: "What do you think is the reason?"

"Ok?"

"The pass rate is zero. Why is that?" Chi Yu asked, "When many people know the solution to the problem."

Gu Bifang was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't really thought about this question carefully... Wasn't the answer obvious?

"There should be very few challengers as powerful as you." Gu Bifang replied, "Even if your entire body is replaced with prosthetics, you can only kill a few dozen monsters at most... With the strength of most mercenaries, even if they form a team of 20 to explore together, they can only kill as far as the second floor."

"What's more, the monsters will become stronger at night, and challengers will not be able to unite in most cases."

“Knowing how to solve a problem and being able to write down the answer…are two completely different things in my opinion.”

"Makes sense."

"..."

Hearing Chi Yu's perfunctory answer, Gu Bifang was speechless, but asked curiously: "Then what do you think is the reason why they can't pass the level even though they know the method?"

"It's very simple."

Chi Yu looked at him and said, "You know the solution but can't write the answer. Besides the question is too difficult, there is another possibility."

"That is - this method itself is wrong."

……

The top of the tower.

In the room that was originally full of people, only the "Emperor" was left.

Two images were playing in a loop on the screen in front.

They are the conversation between Chi Yu and Gu Bifang about the "History of the Rise of the Tower of Babel", and the whole scene where Xia Ta wanders around with the [Cloud and Mist Shadow Array] to test whether the array base has any effect on monsters.

Of course, Xiata’s existence could not be seen from the “Emperor’s” perspective… This strange scene undoubtedly made him more interested.

The emperor looked at the drop of golden blood in Chi Yu's palm.

I couldn't help but think of the scene that happened more than ten years ago.

He was a criminal at the time, and wanted posters from the four major companies were posted all over Hsinchu. Forced to do so, he took the initiative to rush into the sea shrouded in thick fog in order to risk his life.

Legend has it that it is the Jedi of Zhuzhou, a devil's city that is no less than hell. There live wild beasts, monsters, and even ghosts... but there are no humans.

There he saw horror and weirdness that he had never seen in his life. Even though most of his body had been replaced with prosthetic limbs, making him dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than an ordinary human, he still almost died in that purgatory-like place.

Fortunately, however, he got an opportunity.

This opportunity not only allowed him to successfully survive from that desolate place... but also gave him the opportunity to create the Tower of Babel.

It was a drop of golden blood.

It is cursed, the true blood of the gods.

The "Emperor" supported his cheek with one hand, and his dark pupils stared at the girl on the screen and the golden blood in her hand, like a wild beast hidden in the darkness, watching closely.

"Who is this guy...?"

……

"By the way..."

Gu Bifang followed Chi Yu and climbed up the stairs. "Who are you?"

Chi Yu didn't look back and asked casually, "We?"

"It's you, and the group of people chasing you."

"..."

"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to tell me?"

"No... I just don't know how to explain it."

Chi Yu paused and said, "Just understand that we are also playing a game."

Gu Bifang raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Chi Yu stop, he looked around and said, "Is this where you want to take me? The fire escape on the fifth floor?"

"It doesn't look like anything special..."

"No?" Chi Yu said, "If I remember correctly, you once said that this building has only five floors."

Gu Bifang understood something and looked at the stairs that were not yet at the end: "You mean this? Most experimental buildings have similar designs, right? After all, some things are highly toxic or have a bad smell, such as monsters' feed... Of course, I mean living things."

"These things are not suitable for storage in rooms or corridors, so they are basically piled up on the roof. Therefore, it is normal to have stairs leading to the roof."

Chi Yu nodded, and as he walked up, he asked, "Has anyone been here before?"

"You mean the challenger of the killing game?"

Gu Bifang followed subconsciously, "Probably... not."

You also need to swipe your card to enter the fire escape from the corridor. Being locked up in a building full of dangers, everyone's first thought is to escape as quickly as possible... No one would think of using the access card that was hard to find in a place like this.

At the end of the stairs is a closed door.

Chi Yu walked forward and placed the access card for the fifth floor on the sensing area.

There was a "buzz" sound.

verification failed.

Gu Bifang was not surprised at all: "This is the card for the fifth floor. This is... the sixth floor, right? The door cards for the lower floors should not be able to open this door."

Chi Yu didn't reply. After thinking for a while, he took out another card.

Noticing Gu Bifang's curious look, she casually explained, "I went to the first floor and saw an empty hall. I didn't see any monsters, and there probably weren't any props hidden."

"This is the door card from the second floor to the first floor."

Gu Bifang raised his eyebrows and watched Chi Yu place the access card on the sensing area.

"Di-"

The green light comes on.

Under Gu Bifang's shocked eyes, the door... opened.
