Chapter 9 Endless Stairs (4)

========

Seeing Yi Han's unhappy expression, the girl quickly said, "I won."

Her movements were extremely fast, and only Yi Han noticed that little movement. Even Jian Lin felt that he lost because of bad luck.

"I choose truth..." He hesitated for a long time and finally said.

When classmates play this kind of game, those who choose dare are usually more dangerous, while those who choose truth or dare will at most be asked questions like "how many girlfriends have you had?" and "do you still have your first kiss?". Apart from being a little embarrassing, it's no big deal.

Therefore, Jian Lin subconsciously felt that this was the safer option in this escape game.

Unexpectedly, the young NPC girl smiled that triumphant smile again.

"Well, please answer," she said with ill intentions, her eyes moving between Jian Lin and Yi Han, "Did you deceive your teammates about something very important in this instance? And this matter concerns her interests and may even endanger her life?"

Jian Lin was stunned, and after hearing the NPC's question, his expression immediately turned very ugly.

The way this question is asked... is really tricky.

He did tell the truth about something, but it was not what this person said...

This question is purely provocative and is the lowest level of divisive tactics.

But although it is low-level, it is useful. Jian Lin did hide something, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Subconsciously, he looked at Yi Han beside him in panic. Yi Han also looked at him seriously, and when he saw that he didn't answer, there seemed to be some inquiry in his eyes.

"Just answer yes or no." Seeing this, the NPC girl added more sinisterly: "In truth or dare, you can only tell the truth. If you lie, the mission will be immediately considered failed."

"I..." Jian Lin's face turned pale, and he finally had to compromise, "Yes."

【Mandatory mission 3, completed.】

"Congratulations, the mission is accomplished. Now you can go back to the corridor and continue the game." The girl smiled contentedly and gestured to them that the door could be opened and they could leave.

Jian Lin lowered his head, too embarrassed to look at Yi Han.

Yi Han just looked at him wordlessly, then turned to face the relaxed-looking girl NPC and took out the pot.

"...What are you doing?" The NPC's smile froze.

Although an iron pot is not considered a weapon (probably), Yi Han's posture is really scary, as if he is holding not a pot but a bone-chopping knife.

"Your two colleagues have been kicked out of the copy by me. If you don't want to, just cooperate and lead us to find clues to pass the level. Otherwise..." Yi Han said in a flat tone, glancing at the wall next to him where he had torn a hole, and there was a strong threat in his words.

Although she didn't take any action, her aura was overwhelming and her tone was even more sinister than before.

"..." The girl NPC probably had little combat power, but as a fierce ghost, she had never been provoked by a player like this before. She immediately pointed angrily and said, "Get out of here."

Of course Yi Han couldn't just go out like that.

He stepped forward, stretched out his hand and twisted it, and the NPC girl was clamped by him... He only used one hand the whole time.

"...You, you, you." The NPC girl couldn't understand why this beautiful girl who looked so delicate could be so violent and have so much strength!

"Where is the iron wedge?" Yi Han twisted her arm and pressed her against the wall, then reached out to Jian Lin.

The NPC girl turned her head in horror: "What are you doing!!!"

Yi Han: "Just now I used this thing to pry a crack in the wall, and then smashed it inwards..."

NPC: ...? ? ?

The girl couldn't break free, and stared at him in fear. She saw Jian Lin really return to -1801 and bring the terrifying iron wedge over...

She immediately cried and compromised.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you did this earlier?" Yi Han pulled her up from the wall in boredom.

So, with the NPC captive in hand, Yi Han and the other two no longer had to search on their own. Yi Han grabbed her like a chicken, and the three of them walked out the door and walked up the stairs.

Although Yi Han himself did not expect things to go so smoothly, it was indeed good to be able to pass the level quickly.

The young NPC girl cried all the way, but she was very honest. Under her leadership, they went up to the 6th floor, the highest floor of the building.

Finally stopped in front of 601.

The girl was still held in Yi Han's hand. She glared at him with tears in her eyes, indicating that this was the house.

"What do you think? Is this room right?" Although he had just gone through the truth-telling stage, Yi Han still looked at Jian Lin, the European Emperor.

Jian Lin hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but Yi Han was obviously not the kind of person who liked to be pretentious, so he swallowed his explanation for the time being and turned to look at the door of 601.

His eyes seemed to be able to sink directly into the gray-blue metal, penetrate it, and glimpse the secrets inside.

After a while, Jian Lin suddenly shook his head. Instead, he looked away, "...I can't explain it, but I always feel that it would be better to choose Room 602 next door."

After a pause, he added, "But I'm not sure... My luck doesn't seem to be very good today, so maybe..."

"No, I'll listen to you." Yi Han said simply.

The young girl in his arms saw that they didn't seem to be separated at all, and her question was in vain, and she became even angrier instantly.

She couldn't help but start provoking him again, "Men are all liars! He lied to you, and you still dare to believe him? Aren't you really afraid of wasting this opportunity to knock on the door!!"

Yi Han: ...

He didn't know whether all men were liars. He only knew that the NPC's words in desperation proved that the hidden rule provided by Jian Lin should be true.

Yi Han sighed: "I didn't expect that you would still want to play tricks after you have fallen to this point. In this case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Girl NPC: …? ? ?

Anyway, this NPC is no longer of any use. After Yi Han kills her, she... only gets 10 points.

A triple kill was achieved in this game.

"Knock on the door." Yi Han had no guilt for abandoning a donkey after it had served its purpose. His expression did not change when he spoke to Jian Lin. He just gave instructions in a calm manner.

Jian Lin turned around and knocked on the door.

Yi Han kept his eyes straight the whole time, just thinking that if the two hidden messages he gave were correct, the three ghosts in the building should have disappeared.

In that case, I wonder what will open the door for them?

This time the waiting time was longer than the previous two times. After a long while, the door finally opened with a creaky sound.

It was pitch black inside the door.

Yi Han waited for a long while, but no one stuck their head out. It was quiet inside and it seemed that there was really no one in the room.

Without further hesitation, Yi Han turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and stepped in first.

Jian Lin followed closely behind, and when he came in, Yi Han had already turned on the light.

The room was bright and spacious, and the layout was no different from the rooms in the basement. The two stood there for a few seconds, and even called out a few times, but no NPC came out of the room. Yi Han was relieved and put away the pot.

Then the two of them searched a few rooms together and quickly determined that this was the home of a maintenance worker.

There are two bedrooms, only one of which has a bed. The other has been converted into a storage room with various tools stored in it. There is also a folding ladder leaning against the corner of the wall.

A maintenance record with a date on it lay on the shelf. Judging from the dust on the cover, it seemed that it had not been read for some time.

Yi Han casually opened it and took a look, then raised his eyebrows.

There has been no new record of this maintenance worker since his last work, as if he had disappeared. The last place he went that day was the rooftop of this building.

"So, these clues are guiding us to the rooftop?" Yi Han touched his chin.

But the problem is... this building doesn't have a door leading to the rooftop. Yi Han just came in from the stairwell and would never make a mistake.

In fact, if they had not encountered three ghosts in a row three times before, they might have already found several pieces of information suggesting the escape direction in a normal room.

Summarizing multiple pieces of information and finally coming up with the correct information, this is the normal puzzle-solving style of players... But Yi Han was suddenly lucky this time. In the early stages, he was obsessed with killing ghosts and earning points. He got points and recipes quite easily, but when it came to determining the direction of escape, he couldn't make up his mind due to insufficient information.

The game will not set up levels that players cannot pass. Since this room was identified by the NPC girl... there must be more information about the way out.

Yi Han put down the maintenance record book and went through the house again carefully with his teammates.

Finally, they actually found something - a spare key for the rooftop door that the room owner had specially made.

[System prompt: The player has obtained the key to survival, and the escape door has appeared normally in the scene. ]

Yi Han took the key and opened the door, and saw that there was another staircase leading upwards next to the staircase to the 6th floor, which was already the top floor.

"...I see. If the door and stairs to the rooftop were not hidden at the beginning, it would not be difficult for the player to find the way out as long as they went up to the 6th floor. So the game set this part of the scene to be displayed only after getting the most critical key."

There was nothing more useful in the room, so Yi Han prepared to lead Jian Lin out and directly into the rooftop.

Before leaving the room, Jian Lin suddenly called him.

"Yi Han... I, I want to explain."

"Hmm?" Yi Han stopped and turned to look at him.

"When we were asking the truth just now, the question that girl asked was..."

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Yi Han guessed that he was going to say this, but Yi Han felt that there was no need to listen.

Because he had long guessed that what Jian Lin had been hiding from him must be something about his lucky ability.

The NPC's words were obviously meant to sow discord, a kindergarten-level plot, and Yi Han certainly didn't believe it. It wasn't that he had much trust in this teammate he had just met, he was just confident in his own judgment.

As a person who has no relatives since childhood and grew up alone in the malice of all adults, Yi Han actually seldom trusts others. Yi Han does not want to know whether this teammate is as kind and innocent as he appears. Anyway, after leaving this copy, he probably will not see him again.

As long as his abilities are useful to me and he is obedient and doesn't hold me back, that's enough.

Yi Han actually had a hunch that the escape door leading to the rooftop might not be the last level of this copy, and it was hard to say what other difficult problems were waiting for him on the rooftop.

Therefore, at this time, even if he didn't want to listen, he felt that he should be patient and calm his teammates.

"...It's okay, you don't have to say it." Yi Han adjusted his tone to be gentle, looked at him seriously and said, "I believe you."

But after he finished speaking, he felt as if he was going in the wrong direction...

Because the face of this innocent teammate turned red again, visibly.

Yi Han: ...Forget it, I’d better talk less in the future.
