Gu Mian suspected that the person who created this **instance** must be a wicked capitalist, exploiting him like a workhorse and giving him no mont of respite.
Shortly after he completed the Binge-eating Ghost task and helped his upstairs teammates solve their problem, the building eagerly assigned him a new task.
Luckily, the corpses here were quite understanding. They turned a blind eye when Gu Mian cheated, their eyes seemingly only there for show.
Of course, they would also cheat when necessary.
Therefore, Gu Mian easily completed this new task.
[Upon seeing the visitor, the lady in Room 607 was overwhelmingly overjoyed and invited the players on that floor to play a wonderful ga of 'Guess My Sketch.' Eventually, the players on that floor, with their clever minds and keen eyes, correctly guessed... the word that Miss 607 depicted on the drawing board. Congratulations, congratulations...]
[The joyful lady in Room 607 will unlock the locations of five corpses for all players on their floor.]
These five bodies were the Strangled Ghosts in Rooms 108 and 202, and the Binge-eating Ghosts in Rooms 406, 502, and 807.
The types of corpses unlocked this ti were quite monotonous: three Binge-eating Ghosts and two Strangled Ghosts.
"Another task has been completed downstairs," Fatty said, leaning forward to look at the large screen displaying scrolling text. "This ans a total of twenty corpse locations have now been unlocked."
With three hours and twenty-one minutes remaining on the countdown, they had already unlocked the locations of one-third of the corpses in the building.
At this pace, it would be no trouble to unlock all the corpse locations before the countdown finished.
In fact, their floor was already safe. The remaining corpses could all be eliminated autonomously.
"The newly unlocked corpse on the third and fourth floors is also in Room 406," Keke said, looking at the grid on the screen. "It seems we guessed right. The people on the third and fourth floors, to guard against those from the first and second floors, moved all the corpses to Room 406."
Listening to Keke's words, Fatty straightened up unintentionally. The tearing pain from his back made him suck in a sharp breath. "Based on what we just discussed, Brother Chu is on the third and fourth floors, and that Renle Mountain is on the first and second. Now that Brother Chu is starting to guard against Renle Mountain below, if the first and second floors need any corpses and Brother Chu doesn't give them, they're out of luck, right?"
They can't completely refuse to provide them, 007 pondered. "The first and second floors need the third and fourth floors to provide corpse connections, and the third and fourth floors may also need the first and second floors to provide corpses. Although the fifth and sixth floors are right above the third and fourth, there might be situations where the fifth and sixth floors can't provide the corpses the third and fourth floors need."
"If you look at the types of corpses currently shown by the fifth and sixth floors, there are only burnt, Binge-eating, drowned, and dismbered corpses. We don't know if the fifth and sixth floors have Strangled and beheaded corpses. If the fifth and sixth floors don't have these types, but these are precisely what the third and fourth floors need, then the third and fourth floors will have to ask for help from the first and second," 007 said, nodding in agreent. "I think there's a very good chance of this."
"...Three Strangled corpses, four burnt corpses, three Binge-eating corpses, three drowned corpses, as well as one dismbered corpse and two beheaded corpses. None of them have been eliminated." Chu Changge was ticulously arranging the corpses in Room 406, grouping together corpses of the sa type.
Old Liu stood at the door, his heart pounding as he looked at the corpses scattered all over the floor, afraid to step inside. "Hey, young man," he said, "why are you moving all these corpses into one room? When it cos ti to eliminate them, moving them around again will be such a hassle. We can eliminate most of the corpses on our own, except for a dismbered one and two beheaded ones. When the ti cos, we can just see who has them upstairs or downstairs and move the corpses over, right?"
Gu Mian, who is on the fifth and sixth floors, might be able to help, but what he has might not be what we need, Chu Changge thought, glancing at the three extra corpses in the corner.
From the start, there haven't been any beheaded corpses on Gu Mian's floor. I suspect he doesn't have any. We might have to cooperate with the first and second floors to gather three for elimination, Chu Changge mused.
A dismbered corpse did appear on Gu Mian's floors, as shown on screen, but it was used to help the seventh and eighth floors complete a three-in-a-row elimination. I'm not sure if Gu Mian has any other dismbered corpses.
If we're unlucky, we might need to cooperate with the lower floors to eliminate these two types of corpses we need.
Chu Changge didn't trust the people on the first and second floors. He looked at the two lines of the grid on the screen representing the first and second floors. Renle Mountain...
"Bro, it seems like the people upstairs have moved all the corpses to the fourth floor. Earlier, we moved that burnt corpse, hoping they'd help us complete a three-in-a-row elimination, but they didn't pay it any mind. I don't know if they didn't get it or just weren't willing to help." In Room 203, Little Saint Qi Tian watched the screen with a worried expression.
All the corpses displayed on the third and fourth floors were now in Room 406. It was clear the people upstairs had moved all the corpses from both their floors over.
All the other corpses on the first and second floors, where they were, could be eliminated on their own. Only two burnt corpses needed help from upstairs to form a set of three.
As long as they could eliminate these two burnt corpses, they would be safe.
So when the burnt corpse in Room 403 was unlocked, Renle Mountain imdiately placed his floor's two burnt corpses in Rooms 103 and 203. The burnt corpse in Room 203 could be seen on the screen. The people on the upper floors should understand their intentions when they saw they had dragged the burnt corpse to Room 203, which was in the sa vertical column as Room 403.
But instead of responding, the people on the upper floors moved all their corpses to the fourth floor, as if purposely distancing themselves.
At first, Renle Mountain was confused. To eliminate all the corpses on his floor, he had to cooperate with the players on the adjacent floors. However, the people on the third and fourth floors had not only rejected cooperation but had also moved all the corpses away from them, as if guarding against thieves.
But he quickly realized. "The person upstairs is clever," he muttered. "It seems she already knows that we are on the first and second floors."
"Huh?" Little Saint Qi Tian was a little confused. "But there are no nas written on each floor. How can the person upstairs know that we're on the first and second floors? I don't even know who is on the upper floors, let alone which floor Old Liu is on."
"It's my fault for being too hasty." Renle Mountain's face darkened. He had considered the possibility that the corpse in Room 303 might also be a burnt corpse when he moved the two burnt corpses. If he had moved one to Room 203 first, it might have automatically ford a set of three and been eliminated, leaving them with no solution for the remaining burnt corpse.
He had been careful, placing the first burnt corpse in Room 103 before moving the second one to Room 203. If the corpse in Room 303 was also a burnt corpse, this would form a four-in-a-row elimination.
But he had overlooked sothing in this process.
"It's my fault for only thinking about myself and disregarding others." Renle Mountain's glasses glinted. "And the person upstairs noticed."
"She's really smart, realizing this imdiately and starting to guard against us." He looked up at the ceiling, as if trying to see through the wall to the people upstairs.
Who is upstairs?
That Fatty? No, he doesn't seem that smart.
The Doctor? He seems more like a man of action than a thinker.
An image of 007 flashed through Renle Mountain's mind. Is it her? So different from her foolish father.
Qi Tian, standing to the side, listened with a puzzled expression. "Bro, what should we do next?" he asked. "It doesn't seem like the people upstairs are going to help us."
Are they planning to eliminate all the extra corpses on their floor with help from just the fifth and sixth floors? Renle Mountain's expression darkened further. But the fifth and sixth floors might not have the corpses *you* need. In the end, *you* might still need *our* help.
Let's see who needs whom more.
