Chapter 495 Bait and Trap

A look of despair appeared on Sax's face. He had already opened all the cards, but the other party was unmoved at all. It was too late to regret it again.

However, to his surprise, Rob seemed to have no intention of attacking them anymore, but released a light prison to lock them up with Flo. Sax quickly guessed the other party's plan to move, and his expression changed.

And then someone spoke, which confirmed his conjecture.

"Don't think about leaving O'Grind. I will put you on the seventh floor platform. It will disappear after half a magic jail. Whether you can escape from this tower depends on your own ability."

Sax smiled miserably, "It will be dawn in less than half an hour, and the shift guards will find us. Are you going to use us as bait?"

"That's right." Rob did not intend to deny that Sax and Ghost would definitely not be able to return to the fifteenth floor after being discovered by the guards. If they wanted to survive, they would only have one way to escape, fight out a bloody road, and strive to leave before the tower blockade.

"Then you might as well kill us just a little bit." Sax shook his head, "It only takes a few minutes to block the tower. No matter how fast we run, it's useless. What's more, there are Clowell and Pemela here. Any of them will chase us, we will be alive."

"So I'll leave him to you too." Rob pointed to Fro beside the two of them, the latter was still stunned, not seeming to have any idea what had happened.

"It seems that we have no choice anymore." Sax said in silence for a while.

There is not without reason for Rob to leave Flo to the two of them. Sax and the Ghost simply won't do it, but after Flo, everything is different. No matter how idiot this guy is unpopular, he is a nominal senior manager of O'Grind, and his background is not simple, so it is possible to hold him hostage... No, it should be said that Clowell and Pemela will definitely make them afraid of the rat, so they will also have hope of escaping from the tower. But on the other hand, Flo's existence will definitely make everyone focus on them. In other words, the two understand that they have made Rob's bait.

But since there is a possibility of escape, Saxophone will still choose to give it a try.

…………

When Rob came to the sixteenth floor, Lolo had searched the place, but found that as Pope said, there was indeed nothing else here except for debris. Lolo also focused on checking the walls and some difficult corners, and did not find any mechanism or secret room from it.

"The area of ​​this floor is similar to that of the fifteenth floor. We haven't seen any irregular additional buildings on the top of the tower before, so there is almost no extra space here. Could it be that Merlin is lying that Madam Teresa is not here?" Lolo said in confusion.

"No, if that happens, then the church doesn't need to kill Max so eagerly when we find him." Rob walked around the sixteenth floor. As Lolo said, there was no dark room here.

But for some reason, the future Super Magician always feels awkward. This feeling is not strong, but it means that there is something he hasn't noticed before.

Rob touched his chin and thought, as the sun was getting closer and closer, but the girl did not urge him.

About three minutes later, the future Super Magician finally spoke again, "Height, the height here is wrong."

"What?"

"I estimated when I was below that the height of this stone tower should be between 102 meters and 103 meters, but now the sixteen floors are only 98 to 99 meters in total, and a few meters are missing. Well, that is to say, there should be another layer above that is hidden."

Although it was not the first time I had seen someone's terrifying observation, this time Lolo couldn't help but take a breath. Is it true or false? Someone has noticed this kind of thing?

The height inside the tower is several meters lower than when observing outside, which is almost impossible for ordinary people to notice. First of all, there is a big deviation in observing the tower height by the naked eye. Secondly, there will be errors when estimating the height of each floor. The error will be even greater when combined. A few meters gap will easily be ignored. Perhaps only monsters like Rob can discover the secrets of this floor.

The future Super Magician looked up and soon found a suspected keyhole above his head. Lolo took out the two keys that he had taken out from Max's body, "It seems that we can only try one by one."

"Well, wait a moment." Rob felt that this keyhole was a bit too conspicuous. If it was only this level, the temple would not have to arrange personnel to monitor Max, because no matter whether he was dead or alive, he would sooner or later find the mechanism above his head, unless... the future Super Magician brought the empty wooden barrel on the side, stepped on it, observed the keyhole closely, and then affirmed the girl, "This is a trap."

"How did you see it?"

"Remember our previous analysis. If Madam Teresa lives on it and never shows up, Max will be responsible for sending her three meals a day. Assuming this is the mechanism that opens the seventeenth floor, there will be something missing on it."

"What?"

"Scratches, Max needs to enter and exit here frequently. Delivering food is very mechanical. In the long run, his attention will not be able to be focused all the time. He inserts the key accurately into the keyhole every time, so there will definitely be scratches near the keyhole."

"So that's how it is." Lolo suddenly realized.

Since it has been proven that two strings of keys are traps, only recorders and tobacco are left.

Tobacco is undoubtedly the most suspicious, because Max himself doesn't smoke, but this time Lolo spoke first and said certainly, "Tobacco is also a trap."

"Why?" Rob was a little surprised. He had not seen any problems with the tobacco.

Lolo pointed to a bunch of inconspicuous rhizomes mixed inside, "This thing will smell the same as tobacco after it is lit, but it will lose strength after it is inhaled. It is a specialty underground."

"Oh?" The future Super Magician was interested. He was sure that he had never seen such a thing in related books before. It was very likely that he had been discovered by prisoners in O'Glinkinger in recent decades. However, now is not the time to conduct research. Rob put the bunch of rhizomes in a small bottle and put it in close contact with it.
