During the brief conversation, the man told Cheng Shuang the conditions for getting to the second floor.
Two opponents, at least one dead and one wounded.
For each floor you climb, two more opponents appear. The more opponents you kill, the faster you climb the floors, and so on.
The man's last words were that he was happy to die at the hands of his own people.
Cheng Shuang doesn't remember what she was feeling when she "fell" out of the hole, but at one point, when she was pounding on the gate and crying, her tears were real.
In the quiet, sealed-box-like room, the little girl sitting on the bed rubbed her face, her heart filled with complex emotions.
—That's the simplest and most direct suggestion!
She did not regret choosing the 'Nine-Story Building'. At the time, they had considered that it might be a death trap in the form of a fighting ring, and they were prepared to face all kinds of unexpected situations, including the possibility that their opponents would be human.
But what Cheng Shuang didn't expect was that she would encounter an opponent who calmly faced death in the very first match.
In such a desperate situation, choosing a more dignified death doesn't seem so strange or abrupt.
After all, Edren had mentioned the intruder at the second hole... If he loses this match, the big boss who invested in him will definitely eat him alive!
It reveals too much unclear information. Are all the contestants in the arena, whether human or monster, backed by investors? Or is it limited to the invaders or just the man at Gate Two?
She used the Rejuvenation Charm to 'test' the second man, but who knows if the second man was also testing her with a few small pieces of information!
But why? What are the benefits?
Is it all just for the sake of dying?
Is it difficult for someone who really wants to die?
Cheng Shuang had too few clues, and soon she gave up thinking about it and lay on the bed to rest and replenish her energy.
The zombie-like creature remained hidden in the shadows of the wall, guarding the room. She didn't release the other dolls. From Edren's emphasis on not allowing her to make any unnecessary movements in the room, she understood that there were surveillance cameras in the room, but the methods were so sophisticated that she hadn't been able to find them.
The prison may seem technologically rudimentary, but it hides some high-tech gadgets. Ugh! What a headache!
The little girl was finally exhausted and took a nap. After waking up and quickly washing up, she ate the hamburger that had fallen from her reward card and swallowed it in a few bites.
Because she heard footsteps again, although they might not be coming for her, she hadn't heard any other room doors open for a whole day and night, so she suspected that she was the only person in the nearby cell.
As the footsteps drew closer, she hastily wiped the hamburger crumbs from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, took a sip of yogurt, and then peered longingly towards the door.
In reality, no one opened the door. Instead, the person stopped at the doorway and tapped it a few times. Instantly, the door inside the room creaked, and more than a dozen thin, long mechanical arms, like spider legs, extended out and surrounded Cheng Shuang en masse.
The little girl stared in astonishment, but her movements were swift. She jumped off the bed, stretched out her arm, and poked at the few dot-shaped vents with her slender fingers. With just a few fingers, she suspended herself from the ceiling, dodging the sudden attack of the robotic arm.
The zombie reacted even faster. It slipped through the crack in the wall under the bed, slid along the tiles towards the door, and showed Cheng Shuang the scene of the mutated iron door it had seen.
The door was actually divided into two parts. The upper part was solid, where the lock was located. The lower part was hollow, concealing a robotic arm.
As if it had a built-in positioning system, the robotic arm did not give up after missing its target. Instead, many more robotic arms emerged from the door panel, stretching longer and longer, attempting to grab Cheng Shuang, who looked like a little monkey.
Cheng Shuang wasn't about to surrender. Seeing the robotic arms getting closer and closer, and with the room so small there was nowhere else to hide, she decided to give up. The moment she jumped down, she took out a large safe containing the wolf cubs from her spatial storage. Using the weight of the safe and her own, she managed to slam the robotic arms to the ground with a loud thud.
This oversized safe took up more than half of the room's open space, instantly filling it to capacity. Apart from the bed, there was nowhere else to step.
The little wolf demon also let out two spirited howls as the box landed, clearly in much better condition than when it was locked in the small safe.
Even a living creature, such as a wolf demon with a special physique that is neither human nor demonic, cannot stay in the spatial compartment for more than 24 hours, and that is assuming there is an oxygen supply.
Although Cheng Shuang did not understand the operating rules of the spatial grid, she could imagine that if it were really so omnipotent and heaven-defying, then what would be the point of humans activating skills? Everyone could just carry a spatial grid and hide in it when in danger.
Why go to such great lengths to build rest stations and train maintainers for the Gate of Reincarnation...?
It had been almost 24 hours, but Cheng Shuangzhen dared not release the little wolf demon now.
The space is small enough; adding another one would only cause more trouble.
The robotic arms did not stop working just because they were pressed under the safe. More robotic arms emerged from the door, each with a needle-like tip, and rushed menacingly towards Cheng Shuang, who was standing on the safe.
The little girl was sighing, it seems that Edlen really wanted to teach her a lesson. Was her acting really that bad?
Filled with questions, Cheng Shuang jumped onto the bed, put away the safe, and with a flick of her wrist, the Tang sword reappeared. Then, she slapped the blade with the lightning talisman and slashed downwards fiercely.
Crackling bolts of electricity struck the robotic arms. The hardness of the Tang sword failed to cut through these metal contraptions, but the lightning was enough to burn out and destroy their circuitry.
Sparks flew as the robotic arms, struggling to capture Cheng Shuang, became entangled. The iron door clicked softly, as if it had been released from its locked position, and light from outside the corridor poured in.
