Capítulo 2261: Chapter 2261: Key for Key
Xu Huo briefly explained the situation in the Spatial Prison, “Quite a bit of luck involved.”
Zhu Xiaojin pondered for a mont, “If you beco a prisoner, you’re more than likely to lose the ga, right? It’s obviously targeted at prisoners. Does this ga have a punitive nature?”
“Whether it has a punitive nature is unknown,” said the female player, “but this is how the ga must be played.”
“Besides, this ga is called one-third, who knows if there’s sothing else afterward. What I’m worried about is, if you win one ga and there’s a second ga, or if you lose one ga and there’s a second ga, won’t you eventually end up losing your life here?”
“I think it’s safer to pass the levels outside,” Zhu Xiaojin said. “Here, while you can kill people freely, no one has props, and there’s not much difference in strength. Fighting one versus many in lee is a disadvantage, probably won’t accumulate many people…”
As he spoke, his gaze paused on Xu Huo, “Of course, there are exceptions for so people.”
Wisely, no one asked Xu Huo how many people he’d need to kill to clear the ga. He stood up and shouted around, “Chen Zhongzhi, Shen Fu, it’s Zhu Xiaojin, Brother Xu is here too, if you’re still alive, co quickly!”
The other players around cast their gazes over; it’s not unusual for players to band together. Many people did the sa, even if they lost one ga, but instances don’t make it so easy to gather the needed number of people for tasks like now.
Zhu Xiaojin called out a few tis, and after a while, a chubby middle-aged man erged, “Who are you?”
“Chen Zhongzhi.” The middle-aged man said hesitantly, “Shen Fu should be dead.”
“He was targeted even before we entered the room yesterday.”
“No worries!” Zhu Xiaojin stepped forward and patted his shoulder, “We don’t bla you for not saving him; in an instance, everyone prioritizes self-preservation. As long as you didn’t kill him, there’s no need to feel guilty!”
Chen Zhongzhi clearly wasn’t soone with a strong mindset; his change in expression was too obvious, even Zhu Xiaojin imdiately noticed sothing wrong, his enthusiasm vanished instantly, and he distanced himself.
“I didn’t recognize him at first,” Chen Zhongzhi quickly explained, “I realized it was Shen Fu only after making a move, I didn’t an to target him…”
Zhu Xiaojin didn’t say much else, ignoring him and returned to sit with Xu Huo and the others.
Seeing this, Chen Zhongzhi didn’t join them but moved to a further place.
“It’s common in gas; there’s no friendship,” the female player remarked.
“That’s true, but specifically targeting acquaintances isn’t decent. If it didn’t matter who you killed, why not pick another target? It’s simply because they knew this person was easy to handle from previous encounters.” Zhu Xiaojin shook his head, “I’m not targeting anyone specifically, but I absolutely wouldn’t want allies like this. Who knows if they’d stab you halfway through.”
Xu Huo nodded slightly, then said, “You don’t know how many people you’ve accumulated in instances, it’s good you’re here, so complete the instance number over these few days.”
Zhu Xiaojin brightened at this, “I’m really grateful you’re willing to help. Don’t worry, even if I lose my mory after going out, given our relationship, if I clear the ga, I’ll definitely tell you. If you enter the ga again, you’ll surely know what’s going on!”
That was exactly what Xu Huo ant.
This ti, the ga started a bit earlier. At two o’clock in the morning, the rules of the ga were announced in front of the maze by the Water Rubik’s Cube, the sa as yesterday, and all players rushed into the maze to find keys at the start of the ga.
Xu Huo and the female player were once again the “Prison Guards,” while Zhu Xiaojin was a “Prisoner.”
“You two go find the Prison Guard key first, my keys are everywhere, we’ll et up later!” Zhu Xiaojin gestured for the two to go ahead.
Without hesitation, Xu Huo entered the maze as quickly as possible, expanding his Spiritual World to search around. Even though there were many spaces near the passageways, and his Psychic Power might not cover everything, his range for inspection was much larger than ordinary players and much faster, so once inside, he took all the keys he sensed.
The range he could cover alone in the maze was always limited, choosing one direction would inevitably prevent him from checking other places; if he was unlucky and didn’t encounter a “Prison Guard” key, he’d have to get the key from another person, and exchanging was relatively faster.
Today, there were five hundred players entering the ga, with a thousand prisoner keys, an ample number, but due to caution, so players wouldn’t stray far from the crowd or dare venture deep into the maze. Hence, in the end, so wouldn’t manage to get keys at all.
Currently, it’s hard for anyone to hide things on them, so as Xu Huo wandered around carrying a bag of keys, many people set their sights on him.
“Prisoners” can’t attack “Prison Guards” at night, so these people could only try to steal or snatch the keys, but with little success.
Since he hadn’t found a Prison Guard key, Xu Huo’s condition was, “As long as soone finds a Prison Guard key, I’ll release all of the Prisoner keys.”
It wasn’t a one-to-one exchange, anyone succeeding would get him to hand over all the keys.
So players who hadn’t found keys started plotting; since the Prison Guard key hadn’t appeared for so long, soone must be hiding it, and with so many players, soone must have seen it.
“Did you find the Prison Guard key?” the female player asked hastily upon seeing Xu Huo return.
“No,” Xu Huo replied, “You didn’t get one either?”
“Not just , I ran into two other Prison Guards, and neither found the key.” The female player said angrily, “Seems like those hiding the keys aren’t planning to win the ga!”
Without the Prison Guards, they face no risk at night; seven days are enough for them to accumulate the number of mission people; losing the ga would just result in mory loss, a pretty good deal.
“No worries, soone will bring out the keys voluntarily.” Xu Huo thought to himself and used his Psychic Power to gather the keys from a dozen “Prisoners” nearby.
A string of keys fell openly into his hands, only to be placed into his backpack again, then he announced in front of everyone, “I repeat, whoever finds the Prison Guard key, all the keys in the backpack are yours, I don’t want them.”
“Prisoners” can’t attack “Prison Guards” at this ti, and players feared the Water Rubik’s Cube, so they had to swallow their anger and spread the word to find the Prison Guard key.
The maze is huge, and with so many people, soone surely thought they could hide, but less than half an hour later, two players who hid the Prison Guard keys were found, and the other players didn’t bother letting Xu Huo sort it out; they simply killed them and brought the keys to him.
Two players arrived one after the other, Xu Huo took the Prison Guard key and, as promised, dumped all the Prisoner keys from his backpack onto the ground:
“Help yourselves.”
