[Endless Killing: My fireball has a bug! – Chapter 248: Two districts AB!]
Everyone in the group has their own thoughts.
But when they actually reached the 44th floor, they were stunned.
“This……”
“This is not a rooftop!”
“So, Boss Lin Chuan’s speculation is wrong?”
Yes, what they saw when they walked out of the elevator was still the long, wide corridor with room doors that were far apart.
This looked like a normal floor, and it was not the rooftop as they thought!
Lin Chuan did not answer, but just looked at the closing elevator door, thoughtfully.
Others questioned and discussed, but Lin Chuan was thinking on his own.
After a few minutes, he turned his gaze to the other five people.
Frank asked cautiously, “Boss, have you discovered something new?”
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly: “Just sorting out my thoughts.”
“So… have you thought of anything?” Frank asked tentatively.
Lin Chuan looked at him and smiled faintly: “You should have thought of it too, right?”
Frank was silent for a moment, then he spoke his mind –
“From this strange elevator, we can infer that there are two rooftops.”
“Then let’s think further. Perhaps there are two hope communities?”
Two hope communities!
Frank’s words are shocking, but they also seem to make sense!
“We call the two Hope Communities Community A and Community B. So, the rooftop on the 101st floor that we arrived at can also be called Rooftop A.”
“So what we are looking for now can be called Rooftop B.”
“We are actually on the 44th floor of Block A. We are still in Block A, so it is natural that we cannot find Rooftop B.”
With this said, the overall context becomes clear.
Frank then analyzed:
“Most of us players have always been in Area A. If I’m right, the part we forget to remember is our experience in Area B!”
“And the maze we are looking for is on the 82nd floor of Community B!”
“The real maze map may also need to be found on the rooftop of Community B!”
Frank has already sorted out his thoughts clearly, which are almost the same as Lin Chuan’s.
After the others pondered for a moment, Yan Yuji said solemnly, “The way to reach the two communities should be related to the elevator. We used the method that Boss Lin Chuan used to crack the elevator buttons, and the method mentioned in the rules of walking seven steps with eyes closed, and we arrived at Community A.”
“As far as we know, there is only one way to get to Community B – close your eyes after you get out of the elevator!”
After Yan Yuji finished speaking, Nielius frowned again: “But this is contradictory! If we want to reach the rooftop of Community B, we must close our eyes! But if we want to see the red sky on the rooftop, we must open our eyes! And the tricky thing is that our memory of Community B will be erased! Even paper can’t leave any trace! How can we play like this?! This is a dead end!”
Yes, I’m in a dead end.
The hope that had just risen because of the second rooftop was shattered in an instant!
The atmosphere in this closed-loop hunting team was somewhat stagnant.
A pair of eyes unconsciously looked towards Lin Chuan again.
Lin Chuan fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he looked at Frank and the others and said in a deep voice, “I have a bold idea.”
“…”
Others: “Boss, you could be a little bolder.”
Lin Chuan ignored their teasing and said directly: “I suspect that we have all been to Community B.”
“Huh?” Even Frank was at a loss for words. “We did go to Community B just now, but our memories have been erased.”
This time, Merlin was smart and suddenly excited: “Boss is talking about us! But in fact, among all of us, there was one person who didn’t go to Community B just now!”
Yes, that person is Lin Chuan!
Everyone else took the elevator to the 82nd floor of Community B, and then lost their memories again.
Only Lin Chuan didn’t go!
But now he is saying, “we” have all been to Community B?
Frank also realized that Lin Chuan was not talking about taking the elevator to the 82nd floor.
What he meant was that he had been to Community B without anyone knowing!
So, when is it?
Lin Chuan did not keep the secret and explained directly: “You should have noticed that we have a Hope Community. To be precise, the time in Community A, according to the wall clock time, is 6:30 in the evening.”
“Later, when the wall clock struck 0:00, the hunting game began. The prompt at that time said that our community had spent six hours!”
“But in reality, we only spent five and a half hours!”
“So, where did you spend the half hour?”
Frank was startled, as if he had just been enlightened, and he answered reflexively: “Boss, what you mean is that we were in Community B for that half an hour! It’s just that when we returned to Community A, we lost the memory of that half an hour!”
This idea is indeed bold enough!
But it is not without basis!
Because the half-hour time difference does exist!
Because of my memory of going to Community B for half an hour, I subconsciously thought that I had just arrived at Hope Community!
“But,” Nelius frowned, “what good is it to know this?”
Frank was immediately excited: “Knowing this, we can boldly speculate that the only way to travel between Community A and Community B is by elevator!”
“Because if we had to take the elevator, the first time we remembered that we had just entered Hope Community, we were not in our room, but in the elevator!”
Merlin immediately came to a conclusion after hearing this: “That means that in each of our players’ rooms, or more precisely, in the place where the Hope District first appeared, there is a way for the two Districts A and B to communicate with each other?”
Frank nodded. “That’s what I guessed.”
After saying this, he looked at Lin Chuan, subconsciously wanting to get Lin Chuan’s approval.
Lin Chuan didn’t say anything, and Nelius suddenly retorted: “But we did hear the prompt sound at that time!”
“If we spent half an hour in Area B before returning to Area A, would the reminder also be delayed by half an hour?”
Frank explained: “This is quite simple. It should be that the reminder announcement cannot be broadcast in the B cell. It is equivalent to that we are in a state of no signal. We finally hear the reminder when we return to the A cell with signal.”
Nelius frowned and said nothing more.
Frank looked at Lin Chuan again and asked respectfully, “So we should go back to our rooms now and find a way to get to Community B. After we get to Community B, we can go to the rooftop of B, right?”
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, then said slowly: “Your reasoning is similar to what I thought, but you overlooked a point that is worth pondering.”
“What?” Frank was stunned.
Lin Chuan continued: “Why does everyone stay in Community B for half an hour?”
“Why did everyone suddenly rush from Community B to Community A in half an hour?”
Lin Chuan’s words once again enlightened Frank and made him fall into deep thought!
He quickly thought: “Perhaps half an hour after arriving at Community B, all of us experienced something together!”
When he said this, the others’ eyes lit up: “And the incident we experienced together in Community B brought us from Community B to Community A!”
So, what they want to discuss next is what happened that made them come to Community A from Community B together!
Others were discussing the issue enthusiastically.
Lin Chuan was thinking about something else——
He had known from Ye Haiming’s memory before——
When Ye Haiming arrived at the rooftop of Community A, he met Takei Kana who was about to leave the rooftop.
Lin Chuan felt something was wrong when he first received this information.
The time that Kana Takei went to the rooftop was so abnormal!
Now that we understand the logic of the two communities, can we speculate that –
The place where Kana Takei came from Community B to Community A is the rooftop, right?
She came directly from the rooftop of Community B to the rooftop of Community A!
So can we speculate that——
Maybe there is a way to connect the rooftop of Community A to the rooftop of Community B?
This is just an unfounded speculation.
But Lin Chuan wanted to give it a try.
He glanced at the crowd and said, “The 44th floor of Community A is meaningless now. I want to go to the rooftop of Community A to take a look.”
No one dared to disobey his words.
Then the group took the elevator to the 101st floor.
There is no change on the 101st floor, there are still rows of white sheets drying.
There is still a giant vicious dog.
However, since there are fewer players at this time, the red sky is unlikely to appear.
Lin Chuan walked to the railing of the rooftop, and then leaned against it to think.
The other five were still discussing enthusiastically.
As they were discussing, Frank followed Lin Chuan’s example and suddenly said, “I also have a very bold idea.”
As he said this, he looked at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan nodded and said, “You go ahead.”
Frank pursed his lips and said slowly:
“The secret to happiness is to be on the rooftop and watch the sunset below. What we need to do now is to find the rooftop of Community B, and then be on the rooftop of Community B, facing the sunset, that is, the red sky, right?”
Merlin listened carefully and nodded subconsciously: “Yes.”
“According to our thinking, there is one thing we can be sure of regarding the unknown B community.”
“That is, Community B also has sunset, that is, a red sky!”
“So, I venture to speculate—”
“Maybe, when a player dies in Area B, a red sky will appear, and the passage through Areas AB will open!”
“That is to say, in the memory we went back to, there was actually a person who died in Community B. After that, all of us traveled through time and space to Community A.”
After Frank finished speaking, everyone was silent.
His statement is imaginative, but lacks sufficient evidence to convince people.
Frank insisted, and continued: “Boss Lin Chuan also said before that all of us were teleported after staying in Community B for half an hour. Something must have happened in Community B.”
“I think what happened was a red sky!”
“After that, all the players came to Area A. There were no more players in Area B, and the red sky would no longer appear! So we didn’t travel to Area B anymore!”
This explanation does have some credibility.
But……
Subconsciously, everyone present was unwilling to accept such a statement.
Because, if this is really the case…
So, what they have to do next will become——
Arrange one person to go to Community B by taking the elevator.
After that, the B community died, so that the communication between the AB communities could be opened!
In other words, someone must sacrifice!
And it was a voluntary sacrifice!
