"A terrible possibility? What possibility? You're talking nonsense, but it sounds so real. Don't try to fool me. If you lie to me again, I'll definitely beat you up."
The tall, fat man glared at the short, thin man, and then slowly began to rub his fists together.
I wonder if it's because I've tasted the marrow and now I crave more.
Ever since he beat up the skinny guy, the fat guy has been savoring that feeling more and more.
The feeling of punching and beating up your comrades is so exhilarating!
If he could, he really wanted to deliberately stir up trouble and then beat the skinny guy up.
It feels just like beating your son, so satisfying!
"Don't...don't hit me, Dong-ge, haven't you noticed? The fifth floor is right above us, but no matter which way we go, no matter how far we go, we can't get to the fifth floor. It's been so long, haven't you noticed yet?"
The skinny man said with a pained expression.
If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't beat the fat, tall guy, I really would have liked to give him a good beating right now.
Even a pig should be able to tell something's wrong by now, right?
How could you be so stupid!
If it were really as simple as the tall, fat guy said, then the two of them should already be on the fifth floor by now.
Where would they still wander around here like headless flies?
Do you even have a brain?!
"So what? Maybe we're just slow. After all, we're both injured, so it's understandable that we walk slowly. Don't worry unnecessarily, just say you're a coward."
The tall, fat man frowned and glared at the skinny man with displeasure.
They have absolutely no patience!
What difference does it make if it takes a little longer?
At least in this stairwell, no crazy person will suddenly jump out.
Those five mentally ill people on the fourth floor alone are enough to give them a run for their money.
If another one comes, the two of them will really die here.
This is clearly one of the few safe zones in the mental hospital.
Still not satisfied?
Does the skinny guy really have to be beaten to death by a mentally ill person to fulfill his wish?
"No, Dong-ge, I'm not a coward. We've come this far, just trust your little brother. There's definitely something wrong with this stairwell. Trust me, okay?"
The skinny guy was getting impatient. Seeing that the tall, fat guy still didn't believe him, the skinny guy looked around, picked up a backpack that someone had left behind, aimed at the fifth floor, and threw it out with a flick of his wrist.
"Brother Dong, you don't believe me, so I'll prove it to you!"
The skinny guy said confidently, "If this backpack I throw doesn't even reach the fifth floor, that's enough to prove there's something wrong with this stairwell. When that happens, you and I will jump out of this window together, and we'll abandon this mission, okay?"
The skinny guy was cheering for his own cleverness.
It's only five stories high anyway, so even if the two masters of internal energy jump out, they won't get hurt.
The only loss is failing to complete the task.
But no amount of money can buy back one's life!
If you can't complete the task, then you can't complete it.
There are still many tasks ahead.
Anyway, the Jiang family is so big and powerful that finding a few experts stronger than the two brothers would be a piece of cake.
At worst, we can have the Jiang family send another expert.
The skinny guy was already considering quitting; no matter how much money they were offered, it wasn't truly theirs until they had it in their hands.
Otherwise, it's just a castle in the air; you might have the life to take it, but not the life to spend it!
With a thud, the backpack landed steadily on the fifth floor, making a dull thud.
This scene left the skinny man speechless. He gaped and stammered, "This...this is impossible! How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this!"
The short, thin man was completely baffled.
He had assumed his earlier conjecture was true.
Unexpectedly, the backpack hitting the ground felt like a cold slap across his face!
Bang! Bang!
As a result, the skinny man couldn't help but start to doubt himself.
Could my guess be wrong?
There's actually nothing wrong with this stairwell.
Is it because the two of them were injured, which made them a little confused, that they started to be suspicious?
"Are you out of your mind, kid?"
The tall, fat man frowned and looked at the short, thin man with an unfriendly gaze.
He didn't consider himself very smart, and when he saw the skinny man's confident look, he almost started to doubt him.
But now that the backpack has landed safely, what else is there to say?
It was clearly this skinny little guy who was scared, his courage was gone, and he started making excuses to run away!
How come I didn't see this coward before?
"No... Brother Dong, I don't know why this is happening. Maybe... maybe I'm just wrong?"
The skinny man opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he couldn't utter a single word.
How is he supposed to explain this?
The fact that the backpack landed on the fifth floor is enough to prove that there are no ghosts in the stairwell.
It's normal!
As a result, even the small and thin man himself began to doubt himself.
Is it really because he was scared that he made up such an excuse?
But this... is impossible!
The skinny guy was completely baffled, but luckily the fat guy didn't argue with him. He snorted and stepped up the stairs.
The tall, fat man felt he had seen through the skinny man's true colors; such a cowardly coward was not worthy of being his companion.
Looking back now, it's probably because in previous missions, I always solved the problems myself, while the skinny guy was only responsible for cooperating with me and cleaning up the mess.
Anyone can do this kind of thing.
Then why bother looking for a skinny guy?
The tall, fat man felt more and more that his previous choice was wrong, and he became even more resentful of the short, thin man.
Realizing he had misjudged the man, the tall, fat guy no longer even bothered with the skinny guy. He slowly shook his head, stopped looking at him, and walked straight up the steps.
"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, wait for me..."
The skinny man's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that the tall, fat man didn't even want to talk to him anymore, he became even more flustered.
He knew why, but this matter... was simply inexplicable!
That's fucking rubbish!
The skinny man was filled with regret, but this was clearly not the place to explain himself. He could only sigh deeply and quickly follow after them.
Since there's no problem with the stairwell, let's find the Black Cloud Evil God first and complete the quest.
But what happened next was very strange for the two of them.
It's the same as before.
I could clearly see the fifth floor, and I had already thrown my backpack up there.
But no matter what, I just couldn't get to the fifth floor.
This time, not only did the tall, fat guy start to question his life, but even the skinny guy stood there dumbfounded, his mind completely blank.
Has the situation... taken another turn?
The skinny person couldn't understand.
