Welcome to the lock demon tower

The serrated knife cut through the air, and the wind with a cold metal taste rushed towards the face, blowing back the slightly longer hair of Xu Yihang and Xu Yijie, revealing two pairs of eyes full of disbelief.

The howling sound with extremely similar timbre came from the stage at the same time, echoing in the entire space, it sounded as weird as a mountain ghost whistling, making one's scalp tingle.

The force generated by the struggle just now caused the scale to lose its original balance, and it slowly tilted and swung. The right arm was higher, and one of the twin brothers lying on it watched the high-speed blade getting closer and closer to his neck. Getting closer, getting closer, he even felt that the air current had cut his neck.

"Let go of me! Let me go! I want to go home! I want to teleport!" He struggled to escape, like a dying fish flopping on the shore, but his whole body was tightly bound to the ground, and he could only shake slightly Hands and feet have little effect.

Qiao Que had already signed an intern contract before entering this world. As taskers, they have the option of giving up the task, but the procedure is cumbersome and requires an application. It usually takes at least two to three hours, and the system determines whether it is correct. Approval is only granted in life-threatening situations.

Qiao Que raised his head and asked Jiang Luchi, wouldn't that be unreasonable?What if there is a very urgent danger?

Jiang Luchi shook his head and told him that it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't do it.

The situation in the Demon Locking Tower is ever-changing, and it even involves life forms such as demons, ghosts, and humans.After all, the system is just an ordinary AI. They cannot judge the situation in front of them as quickly and flexibly as humans.If you open the option to abandon the mission at will, it is obviously not acceptable.

——Unless, someday, the system AI can combine the judgment ability of humans and the high-speed execution ability of machines.

Qiao Que fell silent. What they were facing was an abnormal life form that was much more terrifying than ordinary criminals. This was no child's play. Every time they made up their minds to start a mission, they had to be fully prepared and with the highest awareness.

In this regard, they are no different from soldiers on the battlefield.

Besides... most of the fatal dangers in the Demon Locking Tower came in surprise, just like when the man in the sunglasses died, and there was no time to consider whether to give up the mission.

The worst situation is probably the boss in front of me, who can't figure out the details, and can't even contact the system, which is simply ineffective every day.

"Oh, my impatient magician." The rabbit's mechanical voice kept the same rhythm, but it sounded extraordinarily eerie: "As I said, I want you to maintain peace of mind so that the balance can be maintained until your assistant announces the gameover oh."

"It's hypocritical!" Li Pengcheng said, "Who can maintain peace in this situation?"

Huang Wenxi shook her head, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe it would be so kind."

Sure enough, the rabbit laughed a few more times, as if he thought it was very interesting, and then said: "However, it's understandable that you can't calm down in such an exciting environment. For this reason, I specially prepared for you..." On the stage, Xu Right below the brothers, two glass buckets filled with water began to rise slowly.It was only then that everyone discovered that there was a transparent leather tube next to the mouths of the two brothers, which happened to go into the barrel at this time.

"If you want to save yourself, drink as much water as you can! — Maybe the more you drink, the farther you will be from death."

Only then did the taskers realize how malicious this level was. Seeing the panicked faces of the two brothers on the screen, they couldn't help but swear.

"As for our assistants, it's very simple. You only need to reach the front of the stage, press the red button, ding——, the performance is over."

The red button is the one under the stage, right in front of them.

The man named Brother Wu sneered, his eyes sparkling: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?"

Huang Wenxi looked up and asked loudly, "What are these grids?"

"Oh, the assistants are really experienced. The road to the other shore is paved with flowers or thorns, one step to heaven, one step to hell. I don't know what the grid is. I don't want to say much, so now, I ask all the assistants to do their best. Go all out and help the magician complete the show."

After saying this, the projection of the cartoon rabbit disappeared, no matter how much he called, there was no response.

Its meaning is very clear, and more will not be revealed, let the taskers solve it by themselves - if it can't be solved, he is happy to see it.

The sound of the chainsaw mixed with the crying of the Xu family brothers came from the front, the balance visibly swayed slightly, and on the electronic screen, two identical faces were mixed with the same fear, panic, and the feeling of being about to be killed. Crazy frenzy.

Qiao Que couldn't help but took a step forward, put his hands into trumpets and shouted towards the stage: "Don't drink! The amount of water a person can drink is directly proportional to his body weight!" Drinking it is useless!Keep calm, the balance will always return to balance!He wanted to continue shouting, but his throat was choked and he couldn't speak.In fact, the faint sound could not overwhelm the hum of the chainsaw and reach the ears of the two people on the high platform.

Jiang Luchi stopped him with his hand, and shook his head: "They won't listen to what you say now."

Qiao Que shuddered and looked at Jiang Luchi, only to feel that his eyes were colder than ever before.

Qiao Que opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught the movement of the man named Brother Wu - he suddenly kicked the man standing in front of him.

The man is the survivor from the previous level. He has not spoken a word, his eyes are gloomy, and he tries to avoid other taskers as far as possible. He stands quietly in the corner alone, trying to minimize his sense of existence—this Instead it makes him the one closest to the edge of the white grid.

When everyone was attracted by the situation on the stage, Brother Wu didn't know when he stood behind him. At this time, he kicked hard. The man was defenseless, staggered forward a few steps, and stepped into the front of him. Black grid area.

Qiao Que opened his eyes wide, and with an exclamation stuck in his throat, he heard red light suddenly flashing across the black grid area, accompanied by a short and loud siren.

Time seemed to stop suddenly.

The man only had time to turn his head, with a look of astonishment on his face that he didn't know what had happened - it was the first time Qiao Que saw him showing normal emotions.

The ground under his feet suddenly disappeared.

Before he could even utter a word, he fell into the big pit below the ground with a whoosh.

Everyone's first reaction was to stick out their heads and look down, only to see a mass of darkness below, and before anyone could see clearly, there was a sudden "boom—" in this square hole, accompanied by a huge The explosion sounded, and violent tongues of flame were ejected upward.

The steaming heat from the blazing flames almost dried up the moisture in the air instantly, and the skin on the face was baked until it was dry. The two girls who were close uttered a short scream, covered their faces and backed away again and again.

After two or three seconds, there was a heart-piercing scream from the bottom of the pit.

The cry was intermittent in the gushing flames, and it didn't take long before it gradually became inaudible.

Then, the flame quickly retreated into the pit, and the ground in front of it floated up again, turning back to a smooth and flat ground again, even the heat in the air was gone, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
