Ringo probed, staring blankly at the blocked path.

Wu Jian whispered and said: "It seems that the stairs are not going to go through at first... It's not right. From the 36th floor to the 9th floor, it's still relatively safe... But if the nightmare breaks down later, the stairs may be broken. It's not safe..."

For a time, he was somewhat tangled.

As a tasker from a higher level, Wu Jian still has a bit of acuity in this regard.

The cycle of nightmares will bring more information, but it will also expose the tasker to unforeseen situations. Choosing a quick decision or collecting information is an eternal problem for the tasker.

However, he soon stopped worrying about this matter. He looked at Ringo and decided to let Ringo make a decision: "Big brother, shall we go down? If we go down, I may not be able to get up..."

He knew some rumors about Ringo's IQ at the bottom of the narrow building, but he thought they were all nonsense. In such a short time when he was walking up the stairs with Ringo, he didn't think Ringo had any problems.

After all, those rumors are just random suspicions with malice and jealousy.

However, according to the rumors, Ringo’s force value in the rumors may be able to jump down this section of the truncated stairs very easily.

As a drag oil bottle, Wu Jian took the initiative to raise this question very wisely.

Yes, he said that "I" may not be able to come up, but he has no doubt that Ringo must be able to come up.

Ringo glanced at him and said succinctly: "You wait here, I'll go down and take a look."

Then he jumped down. There was no reaction at all, until he heard Ringo land steadily, his mouth widened and his eyes rounded, he hurried to the edge of the broken staircase and looked down with his probe.

It's dark and you can't see anything.

Wu Jian began to worry, both about Ringo and about himself.

The audience in the live broadcast room and Xu Beijin also witnessed this scene.

"!!! Little Apple is too fierce!"

"Swishly, the people are gone."

"Bah, bah, nothing is gone, that's a jump!"

"Although Little Apple jumped down, I think... the stairs are mostly blocked..."

"The reasoning guy said it makes sense!"

Xu Beijin glanced at the barrage and said nothing.

The moment Ringo jumped down, he couldn't help frowning, but then he loosened his brow a little when he thought of Ringo's powerful physical strength.

But he still thought that maybe he still had to tell Ringo to pay attention to safety.

Even if he really has such a powerful force value, he can't do whatever he wants, right? What if the car overturned one day?

Xu Bei was worried, but couldn't help but smile, thinking about what he was doing.

Once again, because of Ringo’s concern, did he feel relented...

He sighed secretly.

It can be seen from the live room screen that the broken stone and bricks block a lot of space in the broken part of the stairs, and I am afraid that the stairs below have also collapsed, blocking a lot of light and emergency passages. Faint green light source.

Therefore, Ringo's scene has turned to gray under night vision.

But even so, Xu Beijin could still see Ringo's vigorous and rapid figure. He barely stayed, occasionally his stature paused, but he was just looking for a place to stay next time.

The exquisite beauty of the combination of speed and power, coupled with the sense of crisis that he wandered on the edge of danger, for fear that he would slip his feet in the next second, made Xu Bei unable to hold his breath and watched Lino's figure intently.

After a while, Ringo came to the end.

He stood on a cement block that was broken in half, frowning at the scene in front of him.

The broken and collapsed stairs and gravel completely blocked the passage downstairs. Even if Ringo was able to remove it, he didn't know how long it would take.

He glanced at the floor sign hanging on the wall and found that it was already the fifth floor. He jumped down four floors, but there was no way to go further down.

Ringo stood there, silent for a few seconds. The live room pictures under night vision can't show his expression particularly finely, but Xu Bei can almost portray his distressed and unhappy look in his mind.

…Xu Beijin gave a sudden laugh, he leaned back and sat in the chair, still watching Ringo intently.

He thought, this little apple.

Ringo was indeed very distressed and unhappy. After he was quiet there for a few seconds, he suddenly reached out and rolled his sleeves.

Sure enough, it is more convenient to find the owner of the nightmare and then solve it.

He just made the decision nonchalantly, and then quickly returned to the 9th floor. But even Ringo, when he returned, it took some time.

The cement block that might slip off at any time made his journey a little more difficult.

When he returned to the 9th floor stairwell, he looked at the white mud marks on his palm, recalled the effort he had just expended, and then estimated the possibility of other taskers going down.

...Well, almost zero.

As Wu Jian said, they can go down, but they can't come up if they go down.

Ringo told this conclusion and the scene he saw in the stairwell below.

Wu Jian's face changed almost immediately. He quickly asked: "Where is the door in the stairwell?"

Ringo said, "All are blocked." He said, "Furthermore, the floor cards on several floors were blocked, and I saw that the seventh floor was still there."

There was a cold sweat immediately behind him.

In the live broadcast room, the audience asked curiously: "What's going on? Why is this little brother's reaction so big?"

Xu Beijin explained: "Lingo can come up from below, but other taskers cannot. This means that if other taskers go down to check in the first round, the result is likely to be stuck there.

"Then... after the three-hour time limit was over, the building collapsed and they were buried in mud bricks until they died from suffocation or starvation, which brought the nightmare restart."

"!!! The dog is planning and uneasy and kind!"

"So Little Apple indirectly helped other people avoid a pit!"

"It's hard to imagine how scared it is to be trapped in the completely dark environment below..."

"Beibei is right. Another point is that if the stairwell underneath cannot be entered or exited, and according to Little Apple, if the floor sign is blocked, then if this group of taskers take the elevator to the 9th floor below, There is no way to go to the stairwell to confirm the actual floor.

"In other words, since then, they have no way of knowing which floor they are on."

"Hey, isn't that just getting lost completely?"

"If you can go directly down to the first floor from the 9th floor... forget it, it seems a bit whimsical [bye]"

"I don't think the mastermind would be so kind (softly

"I want to say... Didn't you pay attention just now? Under the night vision screen, behind Little Apple, there seems to be... a leg..."

"!!! Ah ah ah ah, don't scare me!!!"

"People will die if they are scared!!"

"I pretend I didn't see you, why would I say it?! You are not a human! [Blood Knife]"

"Actually, I also... saw it... ah ah ah!"

"It's normal to think about it. The elevator in this building is so strange, the lines seem to have been completely disordered, in this case, don't you think there will be a lot of people walking the stairs?"

"Besides, Beibei said before that this building would collapse in three hours. In this case... Could the stairs of the nine-story building not collapse all at once? It was divided several times..."

"Stop talking. I don't want the gravel and cement blocks to be full of corpses."

"...You have already said it!!"

"Beibei is so handsome, I almost forgot, this is a live horror game [bye] [bye]"

The barrage quickly turned to lick the face.

Only the big reasoning guy is still worried and said: "However, I always think there is a trap in this... Beibei said that in three hours, this building will collapse completely.

"But look at the situation of this staircase...During these three hours, will there be a small area of ​​collapse in this building?"

Xu Bei opened his eyes slightly, then smiled without saying a word.

Reasoning boss: "..."

Okay, will it be like this?

The reasoning boss prayed for the poor group of taskers, hoping that they would not be so miserable that they would be crushed to death by the collapsed ceiling.

At this time, after completing their exploration of the stairs, Umbi and Ringo started climbing the stairs again, and they were walking up.

After discovering that the exit of the stairs had been blocked, they did not intend to take the elevator, but continued to climb the stairs peacefully. They are completely ignorant of the elevator situation, so they dare not take any risks.

However, Wu Jian still put forward his own opinion: "Boss, since the nightmare has not restarted, it means that other people are still exploring normally. Why don't we go to the 16th floor and have a look? We can just ask the residents of the narrow buildings, if there are any What clues.

"By the way, you can still stay with your sweetheart."

Ringo nodded indifferently, but after seeing the last sentence, he couldn't help being dumb and inexplicably nervous.

He hesitated and couldn't help asking: "Do you think... he is my sweetheart?"

Even before Shunzui sold many questers on the ground floor of the narrow building: "Oh, you all behave so obviously, you guys, everyone knows."

Ringo's eyes widened: "Everyone knows?" He was a little surprised, and then asked another question, "Am I really obvious? I like him?"

Wu Jian nodded: "Big brother, I think you are like..." He pondered his tone, "I love him badly."

Ringo nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Beijin: "..."

Why does he want to connect the audio source of the live broadcast room to Ringo and invisible here?

Why!

"Hahahaha Little Apple loves everything, it's true! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Mom doesn't agree with your marriage! Give me another three years of love!"

"Huh, why did Beibei cut the sound source away! Don't be Beibei!"

"Beibei, you become angry from embarrassment."

Xu Beijin: "..."

Who is so angry?

Xu Bei stared angrily at this group of viewers in the live broadcast room, who feared that the world would not be chaotic.

…This guy gave him a fatal backstab? ?

Xu Bei knew with all his heart that the things Ringo asked, and the things that had never been answered, were just talking with ducks and playing piano to cows.

Ringo has no idea about love at all. To put it bluntly, he is actually not sure whether he likes Xu Beijin or not. He is just sitting in the seat, comparing his behavior with the performance of "like" in other populations. One-to-one correspondence.

If they are right, then he screams, it turns out that he really likes Xu Beijin.

If it's not right...

To be honest, the embarrassment was that he deliberately pleased Xu Beijin for the sake of fighting, and deliberately understood his preferences, even from the moment he came to visit...this misunderstanding had already occurred and could never be ended.

If Ringo was a transparent and sophisticated person, like a person like Mu Jiashi, then he wouldn't have been entangled so much. He will know that this is just normal interpersonal communication.

But Ringo is not. His world is like a piece of white paper, clean but spotless. And some people do not know whether it was based on a real misunderstanding or based on the standpoint of watching a good show and misled him.

To be honest, Xu Bei was totally unwilling to let Ringo go astray like this.

If Ringo really likes him, or likes someone, it should be out of Ringo's own wishes. Why should he correspond to the secular rules one by one, and when others say he likes him, he thinks he really likes it?

Therefore, Xu Beijin decided that Ringo had been misled. This is a complete misunderstanding.

But it's as if the whole world is fighting against Xu Bei.

Ringo is also a stubborn person. He is in such a confused and uneasy situation, but someone tells him, "Yes, you act like him very much, everyone can see it."

So Ringo suddenly realized that he really liked Xu Beijin.

Xu Beijin: "..."

You like a fart!

…No, he didn't mean to say he was a fart.

He just wondered in confusion, how did he live in a place like the narrow building and become the uncrowned king at the bottom of the narrow building with Lino's straightforward, frank, and silly character?

It is really the weak and the strong, and the winner is king?

Xu Bei pinched his eyebrows in distress, and then squeezed a can of beverage to pour himself down, trying to calm himself down.

Ringo and Wu Jian were slowly climbing from the 9th floor to the 16th floor. The stairs were much more tiring up than down. Even if Ringo didn't care, Wu Jian was tired. Ringo could only slow down impatiently.

Xu Bei didn't bother to see, and paid attention to the movements of other taskers.

The man in the suit, the boy, and the goddess have found the source of the 31st layer of strange crying.

It was a little girl curled up under a certain desk.

She was wearing a small skirt, with a dirty face and a trembling body. There are some food packaging bags scattered around her body.

It took a while for the three adults to find the source of the sound from her faint cry, and thus found her. In the process, they have searched the entire floor and found no other clues.

Then they looked at each other.

"Why is there a little girl in the office building?" The man in the suit completely ignored the question of whether the little girl would hear their conversation, and thought without empathy, "Because... the parents brought her here before the great change happened. NS?"

The boy said: "Then forget her here?"

"maybe."

The man in the suit and the teenager tried to communicate with the little girl, but the little girl shrank deeper under the desk.

Because the stranger appeared, she stopped crying, and even showed a small part of her face timidly, with a pair of clean and beautiful eyes, staring at the three people outside fearfully.

In the end, the goddess went to communicate with the little girl, and spent a little effort to comfort her and let her crawl out from under the desk.

They all heard a loud purring from the little girl's belly.

The little girl looked at her stomach, but did not dare to speak, she just widened her eyes to watch the group of people who suddenly appeared.

The little girl was about seven or eight years old, and she slurred her words. It seemed that she had been huddled up there for a long time, and she was terribly frightened, so her expressions were a little dazed, and her expression ability was not very smooth.

The goddess squatted down and communicated with her in a low voice, the little girl's expression gradually changed from horror to a little uneasy and nervous, and the pale cheeks also appeared bloody.

Finally, the goddess asked: "Why are you here alone?"

The little girl blinked blankly: "...There is something... Boom... Mom and other uncles and aunts, go outside... Mom told me to hide here... for a long time, my mother hasn't come back for a long time... I'm hungry..."

She touched her belly.

The goddess had nothing to eat. She looked at the man in the suit and the boy, a little hesitant.

But the point of men and boys in suits is not here.

The man in a suit said, "It seems that it was not forgotten here, but something happened."

"Is it because of a certain level of danger? Where are you stuck, or..." The boy narrowed his eyes slightly, "Elevator? Those people may have lost their direction and floor because of the elevator."

"If they can see the floor number, they shouldn't get lost..." The man in the suit hesitated for a while, then overturned his thoughts, "No, maybe the danger on that floor even prevents them from going to the stairwell."

At this time, they did not know that the stairs below the 9th floor were inaccessible; therefore, they could not confirm the actual corresponding floor. However, this situation may cause confusion in the subsequent records of elevator buttons and actual floors.

The boy concluded: "No matter what, it seems that there may be a group of people alive in this building."

His conclusion is based on the fact that if the little girl is still alive, there must be other clues to it. Of course, it is possible to be dead, but an adult can know more than a child.

The man in the suit nodded, and then said, "You can try to find it later."

However, it is just an attempt. They are only exploring part of this nightmare scene now. And further down, there may be more difficulties waiting for them.

Afterwards, they continued to ask the little girl for information, but apart from the strange "boom" and her mother and other colleagues left together, the little girl didn't know any more information.

So the man in suit and the boy decided to leave here.

The goddess took the little girl's hand naturally.

The man in the suit frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The goddess was stunned, and then a little bit stunned and said: "Don't you take her...? The clue...this is the clue." She said nonsense, "I feel it, this is the hope of breaking the game!"

"Stop talking nonsense, goddess. Your supernatural powers that are not working at that time don't need to be used to fool us." The boy sneered, "What's the use of bringing this oil bottle? She doesn't know anything. Can help us find the truth about this nightmare?"

The man in a suit added: "If we can meet her mother, maybe we can come back to find this little girl."

What else does the goddess want to say.

The boy said impatiently: "Okay! You want to be with this little girl, you just stay here..."

The man in a suit said, "No, you can't let the goddess stay here. There are too many unknown situations in this nightmare, and we can't take such a big risk."

The boy narrowed his mouth and agreed.

The goddess wanted to be like Ringo, and said forcefully, "You can't arrange my whereabouts", but she felt powerless.

She looked at the little girl, hesitated, dropped a string of bracelets from her wrist and handed it to her.

The goddess said: "Hey, we will come back to you later." She pointed to the desk where the little girl had been hiding before, "If you are scared, just hide there, okay?"

She gave the little girl a hope.

Afterwards, she followed the man in suit and the boy out of the building docilely and silently. The man in a suit presses the twenty-ninth floor button in the first elevator.

And the little girl stood there, holding the string of bracelets, looking at them blankly, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

The audience in the live broadcast room was filled with indignation: "Damn, it's too much!"

"This little girl is so cute and sweet, they are actually indifferent!"

"...Although, this is a game, and the little girl is an NPC. Don't have to have such a strong empathy ability..."

"But it could be a living person! It's a actor!"

"Don't you think it's even more senseless... It's just a performance..."

"Even if it's an NPC, I can be very soft-hearted!"

"...I really want to feel real..."

Xu Bei looked dumbfounded at the barrage in the live broadcast room, and then looked at the little girl who was left in the same place with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Perhaps the feeling of the goddess is right, this little girl is the hope of breaking the game.

But... Speaking of this little girl's mother...

He looked out and saw a woman from among the actors gathered on the 16th floor.

She is wearing a decent suit, but the fabric has wrinkled. Her expression was a little anxious, her hair was messy, and her delicate makeup had already been spent. She bit her finger anxiously and listened to the others with a solemn expression.

Although it should be just acting, but who knows if this group of actors are in the act?

Xu Bei looked at her quietly for a moment, and thought, would the taskers treat this woman as the little girl's mother? can you? After all, this woman appeared in such an eye-catching position, mixed with other survivors.

This may involve the role of the little girl in this nightmare. If the little girl is really important, then her mother must also be an important role in the nightmare, and even...may be the owner of the nightmare.

After all, the owner of the nightmare, the resident of the narrow building, is also a woman, isn't it?

Xu Bei couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

But at this moment, Ringo and Wu Jian came to the 16th floor. The anxious woman, as well as the other residents of the narrow building, looked at them in unison.

This was the second time they came here, so this group of narrow-floor residents also recognized them and walked away naturally.

But this time, Wu Jian and Ringo were not looking for Xu Beijin, but for clues to this nightmare.

Xu Beijin also sat in full face as required by the mastermind, putting on an expression of concussion to prevent it from falling off the script.

Before that, he habitually glanced at the live broadcast room.

This time, he looked at the situation over Jiang Shuangmei, Fei, and Shen Yunju.

They explored the empty, dim floors, and found no clues. There are no elevators or freight elevators, and there are no people and dangers. The floor is 21st.

This layer is so quiet that it makes Shuangmei Jiang a little uncomfortable, and her back is hairy.

At this moment, she suddenly realized what was wrong. The ground under your feet always has a subtle thick, wet and sticky feeling when you step on it.

The dim light kept her from noticing this.

Maybe some water has accumulated on the floor...? The outside city is burning quietly, and the indoor air is obviously colder, so this causes the water vapor in the air to condense on the floor of this building?

It sounds like there are some fallacies.

Shuangmei Jiang thought so, and then subconsciously lowered her head and raised her foot.

In the dim light, she saw that the ground was covered with a layer of dried, sticky blood.
