When Li Xiu returned to the room, there were only seven people left in the room, making a total of eight people including him. In just one trial, five people died in their room.

When the other people saw Li Xiu coming back, the way they looked at him was completely different from before. There was some envy, but more of it was fear and dread.

Ah Fei glanced at Li Xiu, said nothing, closed his eyes and continued to rest.

Li Xiu didn't have much to say, so he returned to his bed, lay down on it and rested with his eyes closed, but his brain was still working.

Lao Gu is not a trustworthy person. What he said might simply be an attempt to keep Li Xiu here to continue taking risks in the trial until he has squeezed out every last bit of value from him.

This place is different from the outside world. It is not a big deal if a few people die here. Even if someone investigates it in the future, Lao Gu can say that Li Xiu died the first time he entered the trial gate. This is not impossible.

Li Xiu did not regret coming here alone. Even if Lao Gu did not let him out, if he really wanted to go out, he would still have his way.

There are two magic armor masters in the Abyss Base. As long as Li Xiu can seize a set of magic armor, no one can stop him from leaving.

The magic costume master is very powerful, but that is only after he puts on the magic costume. The magic costume master is just a human being and he also needs to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep. It is impossible for him to wear the magic costume 24 hours a day. There will always be an opportunity, and you just need to wait for it.

Besides, that old-style magic costume has its own flaws. If it can be used properly, it is not difficult to snatch it.

No one could have imagined that the top-notch magic costume master would come here.

However, Li Xiu was not in a hurry to leave, because he wanted to find out where the admission ticket took him, what was going on with the evil spirit trapped in the metal coffin, and what was the blood-patterned revolver.

In order to figure all this out, he first needs to be able to pick up the blood-marked revolver.

Li Xiu is the strongest magic armor master, but not the strongest trial-taker. His strength and physical fitness are only slightly stronger than those of ordinary people. That is the result of his long years of training. However, compared with the trial-taker who has undergone multiple strengthening, such a body is still a little weak.

"In that case, I'll make my body stronger first. Whether it's for picking up that strange blood-patterned revolver or for snatching the magic armor, this is the best choice." Li Xiu thought secretly.

Lao Gu was impressed by his abilities and wanted him to continue entering the Gate of Trials, which was exactly what Li Xiu wanted.

Perhaps because of the great psychological pressure during the trial and the extreme mental exhaustion, everyone in the room fell asleep quickly.

Li Xiu also took the time to rest and fell asleep as well.

Suddenly, Li Xiu felt someone approaching his bed. Now Li Xiu was occupying a bunk bed by himself, so no one should need to get close to him.

Li Xiu immediately opened his eyes and found a figure standing in front of his bed in the dark. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ah Fei.

The bandit put his slender index finger to his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Seeing that Li Xiu understood what she meant and didn't make any sound or noise, Ah Fei looked around again and saw that there was no movement in the darkness and everyone was still asleep. She actually made a move that surprised Li Xiu.

Ah Fei crawled into Li Xiu's quilt like a cat walking silently and lay down next to Li Xiu.

A Fei and Li Xiu were lying face to face, with almost no distance between them, their faces almost touching each other.

"Why didn't you leave?" Ah Fei spoke in a very low voice, so low that only Li Xiu, who was standing very close, could hear it, and even then he could hardly hear it clearly.

Li Xiu looked at A Fei without saying anything. He didn't understand what A Fei meant.

"Didn't Lao Gu take you away because your contract had been completed and he wanted to send you away?" Seeing that Li Xiu didn't understand what she meant, the bandit whispered again.

"Yes." Li Xiu answered in a low voice.

"Then why did you come back?" The bandit stared at Li Xiu and asked again.

"Lao Gu said that there are evil spirits outside and they collapsed the passage. Now we can't get out. We have to wait for the rescue team to come and clear out the evil spirits outside and the collapsed passage." Li Xiu repeated what Lao Gu told him.

"Do you believe him?" The bandit stared at Li Xiu and asked.

"What if I don't believe it?" Li Xiu asked back.

Ah Fei looked at Li Xiu deeply and said nothing more. Like a ghost cat, she slid out of Li Xiu's bed and returned to her own bed silently.

Li Xiu knew that Ah Fei did not completely trust him, and might even suspect that he was a spy sent by Lao Gu.

Li Xiu actually didn't believe A Fei. He heard that A Fei had been here for nearly three years. How much debt did she owe that she still hadn't paid it back in three years?

Even if he was a murderer with heinous crimes, he should have been released long ago, but Ah Fei is still here.

Moreover, in three years, if one enters the trial gate once a week, Ah Fei's physical strengthening level must not be just what it is now, it should be much stronger than this.

In Li Xiu's opinion, the only possibility is that Ah Fei had not entered the Trial Gate so many times. Either she was a hidden chess piece planted by Lao Gu, or there was some special reason.

Before figuring out Ah Fei's background, Li Xiu was unwilling to have too much contact with her.

In this kind of place, there is no distinction between day and night, and even the concept of time is blurred.

Before entering the Abyss Base, except for clothes and daily necessities, all their belongings were taken away, and they had no watches or anything else to tell the time.

I don’t know how long I slept, but some people have already gotten up and started to move around, some even going to the bathroom in the corner that was surrounded by thin boards and could only accommodate one person.

The smell was not very pleasant and Li Xiu couldn't sleep. Just as he was about to sit up, he heard the shrill alarm again.

"What's going on? The trial gate was just opened yesterday. Is it going to be opened again so soon?" A middle-aged man who has been here for more than a month said uneasily, "Wasn't the trial gate opened once a week before? What happened?"

"No matter what happened, the sooner I get out, the sooner I can complete the contract and leave this damn place. I've had enough." The person next to him muttered while putting on his clothes.

"We have only been out for a day and they are already asking us to risk our lives. They don't even treat us as human beings."

"Now that you're here, you'd better stop treating yourself as a human being."

Amidst curses and complaints, everyone was once again driven into the huge underground cave where the blue stone gate was located.

"I have some very bad news to tell you. Some evil spirits that came from nowhere have discovered our base..." Lao Gu stood on the stage and repeated what he had said to Li Xiu yesterday.

"The gems in the base are barely enough to open six more trials. From now on, a trial will be opened every twelve hours. No matter who has completed the contract or not, everyone must participate in these six trials."

Lao Gu's words immediately aroused people's discussion, and many people immediately complained in dissatisfaction.
