Chapter 167: Gelton Manor 17
"Is this the way to hell?" Su Qingyun couldn't help but mutter as he looked at the endless stairs.
But she immediately ran towards the stairs because she saw Ye Jian and the others' footprints on the stairs.
Two large and one small footprints.
The footprints belong to Ye Jian, Yin Qi and Xin Yi.
These footprints are invisible under normal circumstances, but Su Qingyun was wearing the goggles given to her by Ye Jian. The goggles not only have night vision functions, but can also see substances that are invisible to the naked eye during the day.
For example, footprints left by shoes stained with polish.
But the stairs were too long. Su Qingyun didn't know how long she had been running around the tree trunk, but there were still stairs under the stairs.
After running a few more laps, Su Qingyun stopped and asked Xu Xinghe who was following behind her, "It won't loop endlessly, right?"
Xu Xinghe couldn't answer this question because he didn't know either.
"We can't go on like this. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the bottom until dark." Su Qingyun looked at the stairs and asked another question, "How do we test whether these stairs have a bottom? Do we have to throw a stone down?"
As she spoke, she began to reach into the cloth bag.
Xu Xinghe pulled out an arrow from behind his back and said, "Throw an arrow down and see."
He aimed the arrow at the center of the rotating staircase, then released his grip and the arrow fell straight down.
He listened attentively, and three seconds later, there was a "bang" sound on the ground, and the arrow fell to the ground.
Su Qingyun hurriedly ran down again, and asked Xu Xinghe to throw arrows down again while running.
Xu Xinghe threw another one, and this time Su Qingyun heard the sound two seconds later.
"Take another shot."
Xu Xinghe drew another arrow, pointed the arrow head downwards, and let go of his hand.
This time the arrow reached the ground almost at the same time as Su Qingyun.
Seeing that the stairs finally reached the end, Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and called Xu Xinghe to come down.
Yang Bingyan had been standing behind Xu Xinghe. When she saw Su Qingyun say she wanted to throw a stone, Xu Xinghe drew his arrow and shot it down. She couldn't help but ask Xu Xinghe, "Why do you listen to her so much?"
"The effective method is of course to listen."
“How do you know this is an effective method?”
"Because she went through thirty-four instances, whatever she came up with, whether it was a whim or a sudden inspiration, were all experiences she summed up in the process of survival." Xu Xinghe asked Yang Bingyan as he walked down. "I heard that you were one of the first trial-takers, and in the end you had someone trick Su Qingyun into taking your place. Is that true?"
"Did she tell you?"
"is that so?"
Yang Bingyan did not answer.
Xu Xinghe said, "What a shame!" and raised his voice, "In fact, the survival rate of the first batch of trialists is very high. Although the public screen now shows that only Su Qingyun survived, everyone doesn't know that 50% of the trialists in the first batch entered the illusion."
"Entering a fantasy world? Is it still possible to live in a fantasy world?"
"Of course, as long as you have enough ghost money in a safe house and submit an application, you can live in the fantasy world forever."
Yang Bingyan had entered the illusion, no, it should be that everyone who could get out of the copy had entered the illusion.
She had indeed heard that some trial-takers had safe houses, but she didn't. After passing the S-rank, she sat alone in the open grass waiting for the bus to pick her up.
Those days in the illusion were arguably the most difficult days of her life, because she didn't know where to buy food or where to shelter from the rain.
When Yang Bingyan heard Xu Xinghe say that as long as there was a safe house and enough ghost money, she could live in the fantasy world, she asked a question she had always wanted to ask.
“How do I get a safe house?”
"It's hard to get one now. The safe house was only opened to the first batch of trial participants. When I say open, I mean to randomly draw lucky winners."
Xu Xinghe added, "As long as the strange world doesn't disappear, humans will continue to enter dungeons. In the face of disaster, those who experience it first are more likely to survive. That's why I believe in her. She has a natural instinct for survival."
After saying this, Xu Xinghe went down two more steps.
Behind her, Yang Bingyan showed a rare look of regret on her face.
She thought she had escaped the first day, but she didn't escape the fifteenth. Su Qingyun not only had an endless supply of ghost money, but also a contracted god and most likely a safe house.
These were originally what she could have had. This is probably what Xu Xinghe meant just now.
Xu Xinghe ran downstairs quickly and saw Su Qingyun waiting for him with a stun gun.
"What a pity?" Su Qingyun asked Xu Xinghe, "Are you sympathizing with your sister, or do you think I'm lucky to be among the first group of trialists instead of others?"
What about the fear and helplessness she experienced in the thirty-four copies?
And these words were said by Xu Xinghe, the person she trusted the most in this copy.
Xu Xinghe smiled and asked Su Qingyun, "Did you hear everything?"
The conversation was so loud it was hard not to hear it.
Xu Xinghe explained quietly, "I just want to convert her and help her change her evil ways. Three of us have passed the level A this time, which means three of us will enter the next dungeon together and stay in the illusion for a while. I don't want to have to be on guard against a little girl all the time in the next dungeon."
Is that so?
No way!
Su Qingyun's face was full of suspicion.
She felt that Xu Xinghe was deliberately exacerbating the conflict between her and Yang Bingyan. As for the reason, Su Qingyun didn't know, and she didn't want to know.
She only knew not to trust anyone in the copy.
Su Qingyun responded to Xu Xinghe with a sneer, then turned and walked forward.
Xu Xinghe quickly caught up with her. He walked behind her and said, "Are you angry?"
"I never get angry." Why get angry with a player in a dungeon? It's not like everyday life.
In order to show that she did not care about what Xu Xinghe said to Yang Bingyan, Su Qingyun started to get busy. She turned on the light on her goggles and looked for Ye Jian in the empty and dark underground world.
Xu Xinghe began to coax her, saying that Su Qingyun only heard the part that she cared about, and did not hear the part he really wanted to express.
"How many parts are there in your sentence?" Su Qingyun glanced at Yang Bingyan who was slowly walking down the stairs in the distance, and couldn't help but give Xu Xinghe a blank look.
"I didn't just say one sentence, but all you heard was 'What a shame!' You didn't listen to me when I said 50% of the trial-takers were living in a fantasy world."
"so what?"
"Did you know that those who undergo the trial can live in the illusion forever?"
Su Qingyun, "..." Of course she knew, but she had never thought about living in a fantasy forever. She had a family, why should she live in a fantasy forever?
Wait a moment!
Did Xu Xinghe want to tell her that even if the system wanted to find the owner of trillions of ghost money, it would not be an easy task?
Because there were one million trialists in the first batch who entered the copy, and 50% of them entered the illusion, there were also 500,000 people. Looking for one person from 500,000 people is not like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it is also like finding gold in the sand.
But why did Xu Xinghe release this information?
Did he know her background?
