Chapter 186 One Man Destroys the Entire World
Xiao Lü continued looking at the suicide note; only the last small paragraph remained.
Also, tell "Lion" that we are not criminals. Tell "Lion" not to let my brother eat regular food anymore, because he has phenylketonuria and cannot eat meat or eggs.
The tone of the request was almost pleading.
Xiao Lü looked at the corpse on the ground again. The man was indeed tall and strong, probably close to two meters tall. Even without his head, he was probably about the same height as Xiao Lü. However, the bleeding wound on his abdomen testified to the fierce battle he had fought before his death.
She recalled the route map and remembered that it did indeed mark a long, narrow room where fighting was unavoidable, which led directly to this place.
"Perhaps they came here to look for evidence."
.
"Too reckless, even more reckless than me," Xia Zhaozhao said with some regret.
"If he had waited for us a little longer, or even waited for the wolves to come to him, he might have survived."
Who knows? Little Green thought to herself. No matter how good Wolf's sister is, she probably doesn't have the energy to specifically search for and rescue a "criminal."
After all, they had no way of knowing the truth, and it was already a miracle that they survived.
"Indeed," Xia Zhaozhao agreed.
"And—didn't the suicide note say not to be afraid?"
"The wolf doesn't seem to have seen many horror movies; it'll probably be quite frightened by the ghostly appearance here."
I think—probably not.
Little Green shook her head.
Although the child was quite innocent and eccentric, she always felt that the wolf's strength was not just reflected in its abilities.
He can't afford to become stupid. He's as strong as me, not useless, and very useful!
Between the lines, it is clear that the older brother was protecting his younger brother before his death.
Next, Xiao Lü's gaze finally fell on the end of the suicide note.
The writing there had become quite calm.
However, the following scenario is probably the most likely to happen:
If you find yourself trapped like me, then do as I did: blow your own head off before you die.
Because your brain will be used to create monsters.
Your skull will be cut open, and those brain monsters will hatch from your brain.
Actually, I don't know if this is true or not. I haven't seen it myself. This is what the last dead person told me.
[Since you're going to die anyway, one more step won't make a difference, right? (laughs)]
"It's been a great help to us," Xiao Lü said softly.
"At least from here, we can find the room where the explosives are located—although it looks quite convoluted." Little Green identified the arrows on the map.
"By the way, Little Green, after we gather all the supplies and go out, let's meet that lion—it would be best to tell her."
Xia Zhaozhao's voice came from the side.
"But how do we get out of here?"
She quickly realized the key point and raised this crucial question.
"The core estimate lies in that thing," Little Green said.
"I think what we need to do is the opposite of what's stated in the rules. We need to get its attention as much as possible."
After all, it's quite obvious that whoever destroyed the "Gate of the Dead" could return to their original place.
The logic is simple, but the process—it's unlikely to be easy. Little Green has a premonition that a fierce battle is about to begin.
She looked down at the map again, starting from this room, searching through the jumbled arrows for the next room she should go to.
Soon, she found a room that wasn't far from here, not many arrows away.
[The server room is full of monsters, don't go there.]
"Let's go to that place."
"it is good."
Xia Zhaozhao nodded.
To get to that place, you first need to exit through the side door of this office.
Although the suicide note was written with great conviction, Xiao Lü still took out the Shannon counter and waved it at the side door of the office.
After all, caution is never wrong. Although the next room didn't seem dangerous, their experience wasn't always accurate.
"Huh?" Little Green noticed something strange.
She approached the door, but the numbers on the screen remained unchanged.
She tried taking a few steps back before moving closer again.
The result was the same.
"What's going on? Is the counter broken?"
Xia Zhaozhao also came over, stared at the screen for a while, and looked somewhat confused.
Then, she summoned the greatsword and, as before, tentatively inserted the tip into the doorway and stirred it around.
This time, the sword was not swallowed up by another dimension as it had before.
Xia Zhaozhao felt something was strange, so she casually picked up an unknown booklet from the ground and threw it towards the door.
"Clatter".
The booklet landed within sight with a soft thud. It didn't disappear, nor was it transported to another dimension.
"Huh? What's going on? This maze—it seems to be solved?"
Xia Zhaozhao looked at Xiao Lü, her tone full of disbelief.
"But why?"
Xiao Lü didn't answer; she wasn't sure either.
She and Xia Zhaozhao carefully walked through that door.
Behind the door was not a monster-infested server room at all, but just an ordinary corridor connecting to the back door of the office.
[”
"
Xiao Lü felt somewhat speechless.
I just got the game guide, but then the dungeon was updated, and the difficulty was significantly reduced, rendering the guide useless.
As soon as Xiao Lü voiced her thoughts, Xia Zhaozhao chimed in speechlessly, "No, no, no, more importantly," her focus differed from Xiao Lü's, "this guy just said 'You're probably not going to get out,' and we're already out?"
"However, we should not let our guard down just yet."
Xiao Lü looked around; the corridor was empty and seemed quite safe.
Just as the suicide note described, there were a few unnatural holes in the ceiling, as if they had been made by the claws of something. But that was all.
With a thought, a few fine ice shards scattered around her, silently drifting towards the pits.
However, they didn't touch anything. The place was empty.
"It seems to be gone," Little Green finally confirmed.
"In that case, we'll have to take out our own map." Xia Zhaozhao nodded.
Xiao Lü took out the small piece of paper that had been spat out of the communication box from her pocket and carefully compared it.
Although the map is rudimentary, it marks all the key landmarks.
"We should be on a high floor of the office building now."
"So, where should we go next to collect explosives?" Xia Zhaozhao asked immediately.
"—Before that, I think we should first confirm whether the 'it' mentioned in the suicide note is still there."
"
"If it were there, the Shannon counter reading should have jumped when it approached it before…" Boom—!
Before the words were finished, a muffled yet extremely penetrating loud noise came from afar without warning!
"Whoa! W-What did you do?!"
Xia Zhaozhao was startled by the sudden sonic boom and instantly entered a battle stance.
Little Green also instantly became alert.
"No, it wasn't the sound of an explosion!" She immediately dismissed the guess.
She'd heard explosions countless times, and this was definitely not what she was hearing. But she couldn't quite put her finger on what this sound was.
She cautiously walked to the window in the corridor and looked outside.
Immediately afterwards, she saw a huge hole in the side wall of another building not far away!
The shape of the hole resembles the outline of a butterfly wing, and is perfectly symmetrical.
Even more strangely, no concrete fragments fell out of the hole.
All the debris seemed to be drawn back into the room by an invisible force.
symmetry?
She suddenly realized what was going on.
"Wolves! Wolves are here too!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhaozhao was first stunned, then her face lit up with excitement: "Holy crap, this is an incredible opportunity! Little Green, Little Green, Little Green, let's go over there right now!"
After confirming that there was no further danger in the corridor, the two did not hesitate and jumped out of the window.
Then, they rushed off in that direction.
When the two arrived at the building, they were greeted by a rather impressive sight.
The wolf hovered silently in mid-air. Countless fragments of metal and concrete surrounded her, like the rings of a planet.
Beside her, the ground was already covered by a thick layer of black liquid. It was clear that she had killed countless monsters.
The moment they approached, the wolf seemed to sense something, instantly becoming alert, and the storm of metal and concrete surrounding it suddenly accelerated.
"Friendly forces! Friendly forces!" Xia Zhaozhao instantly raised her greatsword, assumed a defensive stance, and shouted at the top of her lungs.
The wolf heard the familiar voice and paused slightly.
The storm surrounding her slowed its rotation.
When she finally saw who it was, her previous aggressive stance and anger vanished instantly, leaving only a relieved and delighted expression.
The debris storm scattered to the ground with a "whoosh".
Then, like a large dog seeing a long-lost friend, she rushed to Xiao Lü's side and rubbed against her affectionately.
"Mayfly, shrike!"
After seeing the wolf, Little Green instantly felt relieved.
—In any case, after encountering the wolves, this dungeon becomes completely easy.
It seems to have gone from being a leisurely level of difficulty to a sightseeing level.
However, some questions still need to be raised.
"What are you doing here?"
"Mayfly, what brings you here?"
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
It was Xiao Lü who spoke first, briefly explaining the purpose of her and Xia Zhaozhao's visit.
"Oh, we need the explosives here—no, not only that, we need a lot of resources here, so we came to scout things out."
"I see. Well, I can help you then."
"I'm happy," the wolf said, then added.
"I'm here on business too."
"My sister said I should find someone."
"Is the person you're looking for surnamed Kong?"
"what?"
The wolf's face showed obvious confusion.
"How did you know? Could it be that you saw him?"
"Yes. But unfortunately, he's already dead."
"I see." Disappointment was clearly visible on the wolf's face.
"How pitiful. My sister said they might have been framed."
As she spoke, she took out the carefully folded transcripts from her pocket and handed them to Xiao Lü.
"He had been to other places before. That's where I found him."
Xiao Lü took it and looked at it with Xia Zhaozhao: "Sure enough—it's gradually getting dumber."
"Just like in the suicide note. People with phenylketonuria can't eat regular food, or they'll become stupid."
"A suicide note?"
Xiao Lü handed her the suicide note.
Wolf took it and read it word by word. After a moment, she looked up, her mood clearly downcast.
"How pitiful."
"I should have known sooner. If I had, perhaps he, and everyone else before him, could have been saved."
"No, no, no, no, no, it's not your fault————"
Sensing the strong signs of low spirits, Xia Zhaozhao immediately began to comfort her.
Fortunately, the child didn't seem difficult to soothe. With Xia Zhaozhao's clumsy attempts at comforting her, her mood quickly improved.
"By the way," Xiao Lü looked at her and continued, "what have you encountered since you came here?"
The wolf nodded and began to recall seriously.
"At first, I just stepped into thin air. I fell into a mine shaft that seemed to have no end in sight. The lights inside flickered, and then one by one they all went out —"
"Then, I entered a large machine filled with iron balls that wanted to kill me—"
'
"Then—" she pulled out the attendance record book with two pages torn out, "it shows the places this person went to.
"There was also a cafeteria whose menu changed. At first, there were a few typos, but the more I corrected them, the more typos appeared. In the end, the menu was just a mess." —
"It's all classic horror movie elements—is it really that creepy?" Xia Zhaozhao complained.
Little Green also waved gently, signaling her to stop for the time being.
"Wait, I think I understand."
An idea gradually became clear in her mind.
"This place is designed to scare you."
"what?"
"Remember that suicide note from earlier? It can detect those who fight monsters and those who feel fear."
"And—from what you've said, throughout the whole process, it seems to be constantly trying to scare you. I don't know why, but doing so seems to work in its favor."
The wolf nodded.
"But I was only slightly startled when I first stepped into the air and when the first brain suddenly appeared."
Then she realized something was wrong.
"So that's how it is."
"After that, all I encountered was this kind of situation."
"Face-jumping scare tactics, the most basic way to scare someone."
Xia Zhaozhao added precisely from the side.
"Yes, face-jumping."
The wolf's tone carried a hint of displeasure.
"But I wasn't scared, I just found it noisy, which made me a little angry."
"—So, you killed them?"
"right."
"I understand." Xia Zhaozhao looked at Xiao Lü.
"The wolves have been a huge help. Haven't we encountered fewer monsters since then?"
"I think this is all thanks to the wolf. The one you mentioned," he said, then used F2A to lure all the monsters to fight the wolf.
"————" Little Green was speechless.
He then offered his own conjecture: "Maintaining the illusion might also require those brain monsters as nodes. Once their brains are mostly dead, the illusion will naturally dissipate—"
"So—a monster straight out of a horror movie encountered an unconventional being that doesn't play by the rules, and ended up suffering a huge loss?"
That should be the case.
As Xiao Lü spoke, she took out her Shannon counter. The value on the screen had stabilized at [0.89].
She flew in different directions and soon discovered that when she moved in a certain direction, the reading would begin to drop slowly.
"It seems" is right there.
Seeing the wolf showing some curiosity about the device, Little Green reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Let's go defeat this guy first."
"I'll tell you about these instruments later."
"Yes, yes, yes! We even encountered a moving clay figure! The wolves would definitely be interested!"
Xia Zhaozhao added from the side.
