063, the third eye
When they entered the room, the light suddenly turned on. The idiots and the black-haired young man were already accustomed to such scenes. In addition to the idiots and a few curses, they had calmed down a lot.
Accompanied by the lights, the two saw the arrangement of the room clearly. This room was larger than the few rooms just now. In this huge space, there was a huge uneven clay shape similar to a hill. On the side of the clay against the wall, a middle-aged man with a mouth sewn up and unable to speak. The man had an iron collar around his neck, which was connected to the wall behind him. Because he could not move the collar, but after seeing the idiot and the black-haired man, he immediately whined excitedly and kept waving.
Directly opposite the middle-aged man was a wall covered with nails. There were two hooks in the middle of these nails, and I don’t know what they were used for.
At this moment, the sound of the idiot cursing sounded again-
"You two, after suffering a lot of hardships, have you seen the truth about this? Then, it's time for you to hand over the answer."
"The man in front of you is an architect who has built countless majestic buildings throughout his life, which is respectable. But in just one time, he cut corners when he received bribes in the construction of a dam. As a result, the dam finally collapsed, and the pouring lake water flooded several towns and killed thousands of people."
"But because of his noble status, he was not punished. Moreover, because of the good construction in the past, no one believed that the dam collapsed because of his reasons. No one held him responsible, so he escaped punishment. In contrast, the dam staff on the day were classified as human-made mistakes because they could not find the reason, and all of them were nailed."
"Woo woo woo woo--"
The middle-aged man widened his eyes and kept fiddling with his sealed mouth, wanting to ask for help. However, the mouth was really too stitched and could not be separated at all. No matter how he fiddled with it, it would be useless.
"Now, it's up to you to decide his life and death. In the three minutes after this recording, you can freely decide whether to save him. If you don't save him, he will be stabbed to death immediately by the nails that emerge from the wall behind him. However, the rules are still the same as before. If you save him, the door will open. Otherwise, you can only wait for ten minutes."
"I don't know how much time you have for both of you. If both of you fail to pass each time, the remaining time may be really scarce. Here, I might as well tell you. The time in the final game is the time you saved in the previous game. The longer the time, the higher your chances of survival. The shorter the time, the shorter your chances of survival will be."
"If you want to save him, you must put the iron chain on your neck on the two hooks in the middle of the wall beside you, and then pull them back at the same time. After feeling the pulling force, these two hooks will slowly shrink into the wall. Perhaps, at this time, you will think that only one thing will happen. But I can tell you exactly that you must not act according to your instinct. If these two hooks cannot be subjected to force at the same time, they will immediately shrink and nail both of them to death. Remember, your lives are always connected, and no one will have any accidents."
The idiot and the black-haired young man looked at each other and took a breath. The idiot touched the nail wall, and after confirming that it was indeed extremely sharp, he hung the chains on his neck. The black-haired young man looked at the idiot's actions and hung them up accordingly. The two of them took a deep breath and prepared to wait for the action to begin.
"If the two are ready to pull, then the motivation will be started. The water flows over the heads of the two will enter the city model at the soles of the feet. This is a flood, and while resisting the pulling force of the hook, the two must also prevent the flood from entering the city. The only way is to insert the wood chips on both sides of the wall into the city to maintain a safe area. So, where is this safe area? Maybe you know better than me."
"Now, the game begins. Whether it is life or death, it is up to you to choose."
As soon as he finished speaking, the countdown to the door immediately began to count down to the three-minute countdown. The idiot and the black-haired young man were just a little lost, and the two iron hooks immediately began to pull the chains into the nail wall.
"Tighten! We must tighten! We must never let the strength on any hook be reduced!"
The black-haired young man blushed and moved forward with force. The idiot also tightened the chain and pulled forward.
At this moment, a pipe fell from the ceiling, and water began to flow out of it. The idiot was stunned and immediately increased his strength and rushed towards the wooden box beside him.
“…Woo…Hello! Stop!”
Because the idiot exerted force, the black-haired young man was immediately pulled to the nail wall by him. He hurriedly exerted force and stopped the idiot's movements.
"Do you still let me act? I'm going to die! I've wasted so much time, I'm going to die!!!"
"Calm down! We are not dead yet, aren't we?"
The middle-aged man looked even more panicked when he looked at the city under his feet, which was gradually flooded by water. He kept shaking his head, widening his eyes, and his feet kept pedaling. After looking at the time, he looked at the door next to him, looking at the time with fewer and fewer numbers.
The idiot gritted his teeth and held the chains. He looked at the splash of water under his feet and couldn't move. After looking at it, the black-haired young man said, "At any time, we must calm down. The bastard said we were going to surround a area somewhere in the city. Do you know where it is?"
"How the hell do I know you?!"
The idiot shouted loudly, holding the chains desperately, shouting—
"I'm just a businessman who was removed from the list! A gangster! How could I know where I should be surrounded?!"
The black-haired young man frowned. He looked at the middle-aged man who was struggling in front of him and thought quickly. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, looked at the model under his feet, and said, "By the way! Look at this city! This...don't you really want the City of the Dead?"
"City of the Dead?"
The idiot lowered his head and gritted his teeth. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes, it really looks very similar. Whether it is the appearance layout or the division of each street, it looks very similar. But what does this have to do with the fucking area?!"
“It’s related.”
The black-haired young man said coldly—
"You think these organs can stop after surrounding a certain area. This means that this area must be something we know, somewhere in the city of the Dead. As long as we surround this place, we can be rescued."
"Then tell me, what the hell is this!"
"...you can't think of it?"
"I can think of it, my last name is your!!!"
Perhaps it was too anxious, the idiot struggled hard and pulled the chains again to sprint forward. The black-haired young man was shocked and hurriedly closed his feet. However, a few millimeters away, his back would be nailed to the nails.
"ah--"
The idiot panic grabbed the wooden board in the box and jumped into the model. He grabbed the chains and looked at it in panic. After he couldn't find anything unusual in the model, he inserted the wooden pieces into the middle of the houses in an irregular manner, trying to prevent the water from entering.
The black-haired young man gritted his teeth and finally couldn't hold back after seeing the idiot's inaction. He pulled it hard and pulled the idiot back. He grabbed the wooden box from his side and came to the model with big strides.
"Are you going to kill me? Do you want to kill me?! OK, I'll fight with you! I'll fight with you today--"
The idiot who was forced to pull him up immediately became furious. He got up from the ground and rushed towards the black-haired young man over there. But before he could get closer, the black-haired young man had already stretched the chains again, making him unable to reach him.
Time passed quickly, watching the time on the door ticking, the idiot, the black-haired young man and the engineer whose mouth were sewn were all panicked! Idiots said, how difficult is it to surround a small area in such a clueless place? And the wood chips in the box are not enough, and it is impossible to surround the entire city at all!
What to do? What to do? What to do???
Seeing the shortened time, the middle-aged man's body even trembled. His pupils dilated and his legs trembled. After a while, his pants were wet, and some liquid flowed down his pants.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"
The urging of survival echoed in the black-haired youth's ears. He looked up at the timer that had already begun to count down to thirty seconds, his brows furrowed even more.
What should I do?
Since it is said that only that area can be saved, that is...
Countdown, twenty seconds.
The middle-aged man's pupils were covered with blood, and his throat was covered with scars. The idiot seemed to be desperate and could only watch the end of the time helplessly, and then looked at his time and slipped away again...
15 seconds
The young black haired man closed his eyes...
10 seconds
Afterwards, he suddenly opened his eyes and inserted the wood piece in his hand towards the northeast corner of the Dead City model. He quickly formed a circle.
"Okay! I'll do what you said! You already know everything, right? What else do you want to do now? Say it—!!!"
The brunette young man roared.
It was at this moment that the collar on the middle-aged man's neck fell down. The hook behind the idiot and the black-haired young man also popped up immediately, which meant...
The mechanism has been lifted!
And with a click, the door that had been counting down for 3 seconds slowly...
Turn on.
Chapter completed!
