Chapter 414 [(*^▽^*)]
After thinking it over, no one objected anymore. After all, if you were to say who the strongest was in their two teams, it would undoubtedly be their two captains.
Everyone quickly finished the food they had brought and slowly left the staff canteen. Many people watched them leave, but no one followed.
There are many people here, and people feel safer in crowded places. The other players, who could tell they were also players, hesitated but didn't move. They didn't plan to follow them out for the time being.
After all, everyone had searched and found no elite monsters, so they planned to wait until after 2 o'clock. Some even thought they were planning to look for other ordinary ghosts to earn a small amount of points to reduce their losses.
Xue Rui took Wang Fu directly to the 42nd floor by elevator, while the others were divided into three groups of two to be ready to provide support or assistance on the three lower floors.
Xue Rui and Wang Fu entered the building. Looking at the stairs leading to the 43rd floor, they felt quite pressured, but since they had made the decision, they were determined to go up.
Wang Fu: "The two remaining elite monsters on the 43rd floor are sleeping right now. They probably haven't noticed us yet, and they still look like ordinary people."
Xue Rui: "It's probably not their turn to appear yet, so they don't need to fight."
Wang Fu said, "Now there's a problem: those who came before were all props, not real people. We can't verify that they won't attack us after we two real people get to the 43rd floor."
Xue Rui: "Now you want to try it? Is there anything you can try?"
Wang Fu shook his head, "Not yet. Are we going to catch an ordinary NPC and throw it up for testing?"
Xue Rui said, "Let's go up and try it out first."
These two elite monsters can't go down until the time comes, but that doesn't mean they can't make a move when others reach the 43rd floor. If they can make a move, then they should escape quickly.
The two slowed their breathing and carefully made as little noise as possible as they went up the stairs. They soon arrived at the 43rd floor, where the two elite monsters did not make any move.
While closely monitoring the two elite monsters, they made their way to the 44th floor without any obstacles. Even when they reached the invisible barrier that the item had always prevented them from passing through, they walked up without any hindrance.
And so, they arrived at the 44th floor, the top floor where the big boss was located, outside the stairwell door.
Wang Fu glanced nervously at the door, pointed at it, as if asking if he wanted to go in.
Xue Rui shook his head, took out his monitoring equipment, walked to a window, carefully opened the window, and released his equipment out.
They're already on the 44th floor. This prop should be able to get them to the outside of the top-floor window, but I don't know if they can see inside through the window.
Wang Fu noticed Xue Rui's actions and immediately threw his surveillance equipment out. The two small devices climbed up the outside wall to the window on the 44th floor.
Lin Leyou was sitting in the monitoring room, a completely enclosed room without windows. He smiled slightly and did not leave, but watched Xue Rui and the other person on the monitor.
The surveillance equipment did indeed see what was happening on the 44th floor, but the entire office was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight. What happened? Was the boss not on the top floor?
Wang Fu: "Is there a door over there? Is it the rest room?"
Xue Rui then came to his senses; there was indeed a door over there. "Is the BOSS inside?"
Wang Fu: "Whether the BOSS is here or not is not important. We didn't come here to find elite monsters, did we?"
Xue Rui: "The elite monster isn't in the office either, could it be in the hallway outside?"
Wang Fu: "There are windows that can be seen into the corridor. You can turn the prop around to see it."
Xue Rui nodded, "I understand, I'll look for it."
As a result, after their props found a window overlooking the corridor, they actually spotted the elite monster standing motionless near the elevator, which was none other than the female secretary ghost from tonight.
Wang Fu gasped, "It's true, she's really here, how did she get here?"
Xue Rui: "I reckon she won't leave the top floor before 2 o'clock. Should we make our move here?"
Wang Fu glanced at Xue Rui and said, "This is the top floor. If we make a move, it will definitely alert the big boss. I don't want to face the BOSS right now."
"Moreover, since the BOSS has been alerted, the two elite monsters on the 43rd floor that haven't appeared yet certainly won't stand idly by. In that case, we'll be facing one BOSS and three elite monsters."
Xue Rui: "Let's retreat first."
Wang Fu had no objections, of course; his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat!
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like he was being watched by something very dangerous, not the elite monster hiding on the top floor, but something else entirely.
What else is there besides this elite monster? On the top floor, isn't there only that boss whose location is unknown?
Without wasting any time, the two immediately turned around and returned to the 42nd floor without making a sound. After reuniting with their teammates, they went back to the staff restaurant.
The entire operation lasted less than ten minutes, but they were all drenched in sweat, as there was still a chance of attracting the BOSS.
Fortunately, the final boss didn't appear, which was considered lucky.
Back in the staff canteen, they once again chose a corner to sit down and grabbed some drinks to calm their nerves.
While calming his frightened heart, Wang Fu said, "It was definitely on the top floor, outside the elevator. I don't know what they were doing there."
Zhou Feng said, "So we can't take action now?"
After checking his heartbeat, Wang Fuping nodded. "I had a feeling there was something dangerous on the top floor."
Zhou Qiao rolled her eyes. "There's a BOSS on the top floor, of course it's dangerous. You can't make a move on the top floor, at least not after all the elite monsters are dead."
Wang Fu: "I know, I know, so we came down."
Zhao Wan: "Captain, what preparations do you think we need to make now?"
The most troublesome thing is that elite monsters are immortal. As long as they don't die, no attack is effective. Attacking them will not only fail to kill them, but will also make them stronger.
Sichuan peppercorns: "Is it really the only way we can use the old methods?"
Xue Rui pondered for a moment, "Taking the initiative is not advisable, since we can't kill her, so this method can be completely rejected. Breaking the rules is also not an option, as she will chase after us and kill us, wasting our points and items."
Wang Fu said, "It seems this is the only way. We'll wait until a few seconds before six o'clock, then break the rules and let the elite monster hunt us down. As long as we survive until after six o'clock, she should..."
"After thinking it over, this is indeed the only way. We found out about it from ordinary employees. Although there are some doubts, it should be credible."
Wang Fu sighed, "There's nothing we can do if it's unreliable. What we need to do now is find more other players and break the rules together when the time is almost up. That way, even if the elite monster tries to kill us, we can rely on our numbers to hold out for the last bit of time."
Huajiao looked around and said, "I think this method might not go as smoothly as we thought. These players don't seem to be interested in dealing with tonight's elite monster."
Wang Fu's gaze swept over the surrounding players a few times. "You're right, they all look quite relaxed. If they really wanted to deal with an elite monster, they definitely wouldn't have this expression."
Fang Hong: "Didn't one player go into hiding before? Would the other members of his team be willing to cooperate with us?"
Ding Baishuang: "It feels a bit difficult."
"The question is, can you guess who those people are that player's teammates?"
Fang Hong shook her head. "I can't believe it. All these people have similar expressions. Could it be that his teammates don't want to get involved with this elite monster either?"
Zhou Feng suddenly said, "Is it because they didn't contribute anything in the previous two battles against the elite monsters and were killed by us, so they think they can just sit back and reap the benefits? And wait until the final BOSS battle?"
Wang Fu's eyes lit up. "So that's really what they think!"
Zhou Qiao said, "No matter what, we still have to talk about it and see if anyone is willing. If they are not willing, then we will do it ourselves in the end, and the points will be split equally among us."
Zhao Wan's lips twitched. "I just don't believe that the points you get after finally killing the BOSS are really unrelated to the number of elite monsters you kill."
"Huajiao, you mean that the points you get for clearing the game after defeating the BOSS are related to the number of elite monsters you kill?"
Zhao Wan touched her hair. "I'm just guessing. After all, I've encountered similar dungeons before. Even if someone who just sits back and reaps the rewards eventually clears the dungeon, the points they get are far less than those of the players who actually put in the effort. The captain and Zhou Qiao both know that."
They both nodded.
Sichuan peppercorns: "In that case, it's our duty!"
Wang Fu said, "Leave the discussion with the other players to me. I'll go and see if anyone is willing. If they are, great. If not, it's okay. We can hide well or run fast and make sure we can get through the last bit of time."
Xue Rui had a bad feeling, but he wasn't quite sure what was wrong.
After Wang Fu finished speaking, he got up to go and persuade other players. Half an hour passed before he returned, and his face looked worse than ever before.
He sat huffily in his seat, took a sip of soup, and sneered, "They really think they can make it to the end? I'm certain that when the final boss appears, all of them will be dead!"
Xue Rui could tell at a glance that his attempt to persuade them had failed; not a single player was willing to cooperate with them.
