If these people weren't in their twenties, already out of school and having weathered a few years in society, but were still the high school students they once were, facing this kind of sudden situation... it's not certain everyone would, but a large majority would absolutely have their sense of justice bursting forth, their blood boiling, actively contributing their help and strength.
But that's not possible anymore now.
The older you get, the more you start considering benefits, considering all sorts of things.
Ah Jie knew this all too well.
To mobilize this group of people, unless it was Class Monitor Gu Bei with his financial resources... but even then, at most, they'd be more enthusiastic about helping find the exits. To make them take risks? This group wouldn't be that foolish.
Ah Jie remained lying on the ground like this, his forehead pressed hard against the dirt.
He didn't get up.
Jiang Ran and Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo were also among the crowd that hadn't moved.
They weren't helping search for exits; they were thinking of ways to see if they could help Ah Jie.
Just then, another dozen or so people arrived at the main gate of the estate.
After these people arrived and saw Ah Jie lying on the ground, the dried blood clots on his head, and Ah Jie's girlfriend lying unconscious on the ground looking like she could stop breathing at any mont, a man among this new group spoke up in surprise.
"You guys didn't also run into so murderous psychopath, did you?"
Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo sighed and nodded. "Yes. Ah Jie and his girlfriend did. Right now, we're trying to figure out how to get out."
That man took a closer look and said, "Our side was her who ran into it."
They helped a woman in her twenties with wet, red-rimd eyes co forward.
"She and her friend encountered a bald foreign man impersonating the estate's butler. Then her friend was attacked, stabbed in the neck."
"She escaped, ran into a few of us. We went back to look for her friend but couldn't find her. Probably not looking good."
"So, we left that building and gathered other people in the castle estate along the way to avoid any more misfortune."
Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo said, "Oh, what Ah Jie and his girlfriend encountered was a Pig-headed Man."
At this point, a burly, rough-looking man from the new group of over a dozen stepped forward. "Then what are you all still doing here? Soone on your side is so badly injured, aren't you going to carry them out quickly? Even if the phones have no signal, you can't just waste ti here, right?"
This burly man seed to have a good heart. He walked over to the large iron gate, reached out his hand directly to grab it, preparing to push the door open.
Just as Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo was about to stop him, he had already been electrocuted.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaobo and the others employed the Zombie Tyrannosaurus rescue thod; otherwise, this man would have been electrocuted for a while longer.
At this point, the newly arrived dozen or so people frowned deeply. Then, their gazes turned to Yu Xiaobo. They pointed at the disheveled Yu Xiaobo, then pointed at the similarly disheveled appearance of the burly man lying unconscious on the ground.
Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo nodded.
"That's right. I got electrocuted too."
Imdiately after, Yu Xiaobo began explaining their situation to the newly arrived dozen or so people, including that whole ga business, the ten keys... listening made these people dumbfounded.
"So, while we're here playing the castle treasure hunt ga, this castle estate was taken over by so unknown person as the venue for another bloody, real-life killing ga?"
"Two gas collided?"
"And the electrified iron gate, the missing phone signal, all that was done by this unknown person?"
"Then doesn't that an we have to cooperate with those few people to find all ten keys before we can leave?"
Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo nodded. "Yes. But nine have already been found now. One left. And that one... is very hard to get."
The leader of this new group of over a dozen was a fairly tall male student.
He was the forr class sports committee mber, Li Hu.
He was also one of the first few people that the initial woman encountered after escaping the room.
Li Hu asked, "What do you an?"
Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo explained the matter of the Armored Man.
Li Hu said, "I see... By the way, have you tallied the casualties among the people who ca here today?"
Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo said, "One person died on your side."
"On our side... seems like just Ah Jie and his girlfriend."
"Oh, right, I rember. Also Tang Junjie, killed by that Armored Man. Head hit the ground."
"Shouldn't be any others, right?"
"No. There are two more."
Jiang Ran stepped forward at this mont.
He pointed at the Huo Xiaoxiao sisters not far away. "An old classmate of ours who was with them was also killed by the Armored Man. Besides that, Huo Xiaoxiao's sister's black boyfriend is also dead."
"Already this many people dead?"
Hearing Jiang Ran add two more deaths, the others exclaid in shock.
Especially those who had stayed behind earlier and hadn't gone to search for exits.
Because the situation seed to have exceeded everyone's expectations.
"What about Gu Bei?"
Sports Committee mber Li Hu frowned as he asked.
Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo said, "He went with us initially to gather the others. Don't know where he went now."
...
On the side of the five Explorers.
They were still in a standoff with the Armored Man.
Finally, Explorer No. 3, Never Forget the Original Intent, who couldn't bear the standoff any longer, pointed and gestured at Explorer No. 2, Zombie Tyrannosaurus. "Hey! That should be the key you're responsible for finding! You go up there yourself and get that key back!"
Zombie Tyrannosaurus glanced at her sideways, as if looking at an idiot.
Never Forget the Original Intent looked toward the others and said, "Do you all agree with my idea? After all, the four of us have each found our two keys! Now it's just him left! So he should be the one to go up and retrieve the key!"
This beautiful woman, Never Forget the Original Intent, wanted to use the majority to pressure the minority.
But the others clearly weren't fools, nor were they people infatuated with Never Forget the Original Intent's beauty. They wouldn't be used as pawns foolishly like Tang Junjie and die for nothing.
Never Forget the Original Intent grew sowhat irritable. "Since no one is stating their position, are we just going to keep wasting ti here like this?"
The ga progress had reached this point, essentially falling into a deadlock.
Where was the breaking point?
Dark Killing live stream room.
Dark Glory: [This round isn't as thrilling as the first two.]
Pineapple Bleeds: [Not thrilling? Why don't you go down yourself? I'd approve with both hands and feet.]
Invincible Bro: [Going down yourself is easy to get killed. Who dares? That's playing with your life.]
Pineapple Bleeds: [I've gone down in a live-stread ga on Black Software before. Exactly what you said, soone who played with their life.]
[To many people watching the stream, they consider themselves superior, looking down on the life-and-death struggles of these ordinary people participating in the live-stread gas. But in essence, they themselves are a bunch of cowards.]
...
Blue Forest Castle Estate.
Dark clouds covered the sky.
Everywhere was a mass of oppressive darkness.
This kind of weather dragged the mood of everyone in the entire estate toward the dismal.
And the breaking point for the five Explorers and the Hunter—the Armored Man—finally arrived.
