Chapter 140 Sixty-sixth Floor
"Are you really not going to wait for Su Yunling? What if she doesn't leave?"
Fu Xuan still has some friendship for Su Yunling. After all, they spent quite a long time together in the last game.
Except for Jiang Qian, everyone else could hear Fu Xuan's words.
At this time, they gathered at the door of the "Best Work Related Matters Handling Office". Just as Ji Weihang was holding Fu Xuan's hand, Bai Jiuyue was holding Jiang Qian's hand.
After hearing Fu Xuan's words, Bai Jiyue explained, "Before at the Huanxin Service Area, she was a little strange after returning from the Forgotten Club. I asked her if she had found a way to get to the first floor, and she was vague, as if she knew but didn't want to tell us.
"She didn't say much when we were discussing just now, and she even took the work machine. I guessed that she had other ideas and would not take this risk with us. After all, none of us wanted to go to the first floor like her, and she would be freer to act alone."
Xiao Wuli also said: "My intuition is very sharp. Before I came in, she looked at me as if she was going to do something bad to me, which scared me so much that I ran away quickly. She got three working machines and can move freely in the service area. There is no need to worry about her."
After relaying Bai Jiuyue's words to Fu Xuan, Fu Xuan felt relieved.
Instead, Bai Jiyue looked at Xiao Wuli and said, "Free travel? Why didn't you tell us about this before?"
Xiao Wuli was still confident: "What does it matter if I say it? It's impossible for everyone to use that shuttle, and it can only take people to the other two service areas. You are hiding from the God of Highways, and it's not safe to go to other service areas. You still have to come in."
"I think you are still making your own plans." Bai Jiuyue muttered, and without saying anything else, he pushed open the door in front of him.
The space inside was very narrow and had no openings. It was a bit difficult to fit five people in it.
"What's up?" There was a desk in the space, and an NPC was sitting behind it. It looked up and asked, "Is there anything related to the best work you want to deal with?"
The attitude is calm, neither good nor bad.
Ji Weihang's eyes swept across the picture of a horse hanging behind the other person, and he whispered to Fu Xuan beside him: "What can you see?"
Fu Xuan looked around and said, "It's all blank."
Seeing that Ji Weihang had no intention of answering, Bai Jiuyue stepped forward and said, "We are the best employees at our job. We have been secretly inspecting the branch and have found some problems. We would like to inspect other floors to see if there are any common problems. Could you please arrange this for us?"
The NPC said, "Oh, sure."
I agreed readily.
The NPC stood up, and they stepped back silently, watching it turn around and press the head of a horse on the horse picture. The wall disappeared, a wide space appeared, and there was a lot of noise.
The NPC pointed to the left and said, "That's the teleportation channel. Go ahead and enter the channel that corresponds to the number of the floor you want to go to."
Bai Jiuyue took the lead, pulling Jiang Qian in first, followed by Xiao Wuli. She stepped in tentatively. There was neither NPC to stop her nor any barrier to hinder her, so she stepped in smoothly. Then Ji Weihang pulled Fu Xuan in.
After they all entered, the path they came from disappeared and turned into a wall.
They were in an extremely tall and wide space, with light shining in from the glass above their heads, bright but not hot; gray doors occasionally appeared in the red and white checkered walls, and someone walked out; the gray floor tiles vaguely reflected the figures of people walking on them.
There were thirteen light doors inlaid in the walls on both sides, with numbers on top indicating the number of floors. It was obvious that the left light door was the entrance, and the right light door was the exit. People who walked out of the right light door seemed to be able to see things that they could not see. They felt along the wall, pulled it outward, and the gray door opened, and people walked in.
The blank vision instantly turned into a vast and bustling space. Jiang Yan looked around and said, "I now believe that the Security Department has the highest authority."
After entering this space, Fu Xuan and Jiang Qian's perspective became the same as others.
After observing for a while, several people walked towards the light door on the left.
Most of the people coming and going were NPCs, but there were a few people with clear faces like them. When they saw them, they either left immediately or ignored them, with no intention of exchanging information with them.
Standing in front of the light door, Bai Jiuyue said: "Which floor do you want to go to? I want to go to the sixty-sixth floor. Generally speaking, if the building blocks on the bottom are removed, it will collapse, right?"
She thought that if she destroyed the sixty-sixth floor directly, perhaps the entire building would collapse.
Xiao Wuli said sarcastically: "You are really confident."
Bai Jiyue smiled and said, "Sister Li Zi, do you have any good ideas?"
Fu Xuan told her about the mission Xiao Wuli had sent her. When she heard that this mission was related to destroying building blocks, she had no intention of joining in. Instead, she said:
"If you guys go to the first floor, then I have to go to the sixty-sixth floor. Gathering all the strength to do a simple task is both a waste and risky. What if we end up with nothing?"
Xiao Wuli heard the distrust in the tone and snorted coldly.
She added, "Moreover, judging from the guide for Female Eagle Spreading Wings, the sixty-sixth floor should be related to the Shadow Invasion. It is one of the most important floors among all the floors."
This was also the speculation that Fu Xuan and Ji Weihang had mentioned before.
They all agreed on the need to go to the sixty-sixth floor.
but……
Ji Weihang looked at Bai Jiyue and said, "Aren't you afraid of the dark? Is it okay to go to the 66th floor?"
Bai Jiuyue paused before remembering this: "Oh... I forgot it should be very dark there, I was only thinking about the importance of the sixty-sixth floor." He fell into deep thought.
Jiang Yan said, "I wanted to go to the 44th floor for plants or the 58th floor for war."
Fu Xuan glanced at her, frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed his brows, and said calmly: "You want to go play, you should choose the level that may be related to clearing the level."
Jiang Yan said, "I don't know which floor is related to clearing the level. It doesn't matter which floor I go to to trigger the mission. I don't like the sixty-sixth floor. I hate the dark. It would be boring to follow you to the first floor. I don't want to be a follower."
Ji Weihang asked Xiao Wuli: "What about you? Which floor do you want to go to?"
Xiao Wuli looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Let me go with her."
Jiang Yan patted the child's shoulder happily and said, "You have good vision! Since you are following me, let's not go to the war, let's go to the plants. Maybe we can meet old acquaintances in the greenhouse on the 44th floor."
Fu Xuan warned: "Be careful of being sought after for revenge."
Jiang Yan: "No way? Even if I'm being sought after, this is much better than 'incomplete', 'separated', 'nightmare' and the like."
Why didn't Jiang Xuan go to the first floor with them? Are these two guys quarreling? Ji Weihang was quick to notice, thought about it, and then said, "Why don't Jiang Xuan and Fu Xuan go to the first floor, and Li Zi, Xiao Yue and I go to the sixty-sixth floor."
Fu Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at her, and Jiang Qian also turned her head to look at her.
She said calmly, "It just so happens that I have acquired the ability of a dark follower, which is suitable for use on the sixty-sixth floor."
After hearing Bai Jiuyue was going to the sixty-sixth floor, she wondered if she should choose to go to the sixty-sixth floor instead of the first floor. Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't seem to want to go with them... or rather, didn't want to go with her, she just happened to go to the sixty-sixth floor.
It would be a waste of time to let Jiang Yan go to the 44th floor.
After listening to the effect of the Dark Follower, Fu Xuan nodded slowly. Indeed, it sounded more suitable to go to the 66th floor. He glanced at Jiang Yan and said, "Then the two of us should go together?"
Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows and put on an unhappy and arrogant look: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Ji Weihang's eyes swept between the man and the monster, as if he was thinking about something.
Jiang Xuan really couldn't stand the fact that the two of them were too close. When did she have such a close and exclusive desire for Xiao Xuan? Was it because of the demon bloodline?
She was not worried that Jiang Qian would do anything bad to Fu Xuan. After all, they were a "mother-son alliance" and had been working together for so long.
Xiao Wuli had no objection to the new grouping, and Bai Jiuyue was even more happy: "With the seniors here, I am not afraid anymore."
After Fu Xuan and Jiang Qian walked hand in hand into the light gate marked "1", Ji Weihang and the others also walked hand in hand into the light gate marked "66".
Bai Jiuyue noticed out of the corner of her eye that Xiao Wuli was a step slower, and just as he was about to pull her, he felt he had pulled nothing.
Deliberately taking a step slower and watching the two people disappear before his sight, Xiao Wu Li withdrew his hand, looked around, walked towards the red and white checkered wall, groped for the door handle, opened a gray door, and walked in.
After she left, a young man in a security uniform walked out of the crowd and also walked into the light door marked "66".
…
After the white light disappeared, there was endless, silent darkness before our eyes, with only the hands clasped together still warm.
The dark followers activated, and Ji Weihang's body gradually became lighter, her thoughts became clearer, and the outlines of the surrounding "objects" appeared in front of her eyes. Because she had wrapped a circle of cloth around her left hand in advance, she was able to touch other people through the objects.
Standing on her left was Bai Jiuyue, but Xiao Wu Li on Bai Jiuyue's left had disappeared.
She didn't ask in a hurry. She found that Bai Jiuyue's body was trembling slightly, so she immediately pulled him away. Fortunately, Bai Jiuyue was still conscious and followed her obediently.
Entering a house next door, Ji Weihang glanced at the rules posted on the wall, picked up the match on the table, polished it on the edge of the table, and lit the candlestick on the table.
The light can only illuminate a small corner, but it is enough to bring warmth to Bai Jiuyue's heart.
Ji Weihang asked her to sit on the stool beside the table, rest and adjust herself in the light, and then walked to the fireplace and lit the kindling with a match.
The firewood gradually burned and the light became brighter.
Bai Jiuyue could vaguely see the situation in the entire house. The crackling sound of the flames gave her a sense of security. She calmed down and used her spiritual sense to look at the rules prompts on the wall.
【Notes on the Sixty-Sixth Floor】
[Since there are no naturally generated rules on this layer, local residents and players jointly wrote these rules based on their own survival experience, and the credibility is extremely high. (Believe it or not)]
【1. This level of building blocks is a vast and boundless dark realm! Be careful to follow the rules of darkness, otherwise, the shadow of death will devour your body, your soul, and everything you have!
2. Do not disturb the habitat of dark creatures! Dark creatures may exist anywhere in the public domain. They like quiet and darkness. Do not light lights or talk in the public domain! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk!
3. The interior of the house is considered a private area. You can turn on the lights and talk, but be careful not to let your voice be heard outside. (Generally, houses are specially treated to prevent light leakage and have a certain sound insulation effect, but be careful of accidents.)
4. You can buy things from smugglers, but be careful to identify the authenticity of non-physical goods, such as news, promises, etc. Physical goods can be trusted.
5. After turning on the lights, sometimes someone will come and ring the doorbell. If you let the other person in, remember to turn off the lights first.
6. Dark creatures will not enter private areas, so you can rest assured. 】
This was obviously different from other known rules. Bai Jiyue had some doubts about its accuracy and asked in a voice transmission: "Senior, did you see any dark creatures outside just now?"
Ji Weihang was looking at the noise meter on another table. It stated on it: It's okay as long as the speaking volume does not exceed 30 decibels.
She whispered back, "I saw a flash of something."
The tester jumped to 20 decibels.
They waited quietly for a moment, and when nothing happened, they began to communicate in low voices.
Bai Jiuyue: "Li Zi seemed to be one step behind me on purpose. I wanted her to speed up, but when I pulled her, I felt my hands were empty."
Ji Weihang: "Either she can't leave the 23rd floor, or she has her own ideas. No matter which reason it is, don't worry. She is capable of living her own life."
Bai Jiyue: "That's right. Senior, look, the windows here are painted with black paint and sealed up. Why are they sealed up? Why not build a house without windows from the beginning?"
Ji Weihang: "This shows that darkness may have come later."
Bai Jiyue: "The so-called doomsday..."
The two of them checked every corner of the house separately and found no problems, as they were all sealed tightly.
The main body of this house consists of two spaces, the main entrance space and a small kitchen that is additionally separated by sound insulation sponge.
There is a small set of wooden tables and chairs by the window on the right side of the door, and a low table and matching low wooden chairs on the left side near the fireplace, both firmly nailed to the floor, which seem to be used for eating;
Further inside, past the door that leads to the small kitchen on the left, there is a narrow wooden bed placed against the wall on either side;
There is a long table against the wall at the end of the space, with scissors, candles, matches, kettles, cups and other items on the table; open the cabinet door under the table, there are quilts, bottled water, medicines and other common daily necessities, as well as axes, saws, rulers and other unusual daily necessities.
Bai Jiyue touched the light dust on the cabinet door and said, "It seems that someone comes here sometimes."
At this moment, a dull "thump thump thump" sound was heard, and Ji Weihang subconsciously looked at the noise tester.
——15 decibels.
Bai Jiuyue looked towards the door. The sound came from a palm-sized puppet on the small platform next to the door. A string was connected to its drive and connected to the outside. Once someone pulled the string outside the door, it would stand still and act as a doorbell.
"Someone is coming."
