Chapter 318 Goodbye Zhigeng
Chapter 318 Goodbye Zhigeng
"Huh, it's so dangerous!"
Lin Yu sighed as he looked at the monster on the ground, which was burnt to charcoal and had its limbs turned into tentacles while wearing a security uniform.
Because Lin Yu was feeling uneasy and had been prepared, it was natural that he would not fall into the trap.
After a fierce fight and defeating the monster, Lin Yu also received Max's admiring gaze.
"Oh my god, bro, you're so handsome!"
"No wonder you were able to take down that doctor. It turns out you're not only good at reasoning and planning behind the scenes, but you're also very powerful in combat."
Max said, rubbing his hands together: "Looks like I'm going to have to cling to you hard in this dungeon, brother!"
Hearing Max say this, Lin Yu waved his hand modestly.
"It's just because the monsters in this dungeon are not very strong."
After all, judging from the currently known information, the mechanism of this copy is already very special: whether it is reincarnation or memory clearing, it is a very complex and difficult problem to solve.
If, in this situation, the monsters inside are so strong that these players are completely unable to deal with them...
Then this copy shouldn't have only one "Level 3" player, "Zhi Geng".
Max laughed when he heard Lin Yu's self-deprecation: "Oh, no matter what, I definitely can't win... Especially since this thing attacks by surprise. Maybe I wouldn't be able to react in time and lose my fighting ability!"
Lin Yu listened to Max's words and shook his head.
"You shouldn't be so embarrassed anyway."
"That's true," Max became optimistic after receiving Lin Yu's comfort, and spoke confidently, "If we really fight... maybe I can hold out for a few moves!"
Lin Yu felt even more helpless when he heard Max's tone.
"You sound so confident, at least say you can win!"
"How is that possible? I have a relatively clear self-awareness," Max waved his hand. "Right now, few of my tools are suitable for direct combat."
When Lin Yu heard this, he thought it was just a humble remark.
After all, the strength of this security uniform monster is not very high.
He can handle it with just the [Torch of Fear].
If Stiller were still there, he would probably be killed in one move.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu felt a little melancholy.
"I really don't know where Stiller and Hannah went... Did they get separated before the last 'rollback'?"
"While I can confirm that they're still alive, I'm worried they might have been captured by some dungeon boss and are waiting for me to rescue them... But if there's nothing written in the notebook, then it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
Lin Yu had no idea, so he could only be optimistic.
"Perhaps it's because summons aren't affected by 'rewind'... that's why they didn't appear—after all, the other consumed [Items] weren't restored either, and the notes specifically mention that."
Lin Yu let out a breath.
Just as he was sorting out his thoughts, footsteps suddenly came from upstairs.
"Tack, tick, tick..."
Max tensed instantly.
"What's coming down?!"
She threw different dolls over the stairs one after another, and then assumed a fighting stance - it looked like the opening stance of Wing Chun, but it was not quite standard.
But even if there are standards, I'm afraid they won't be of much use...
"The monsters in this dungeon are either giant doctors as tall as two stories or things covered in tentacles. Are you planning to engage them in hand-to-hand combat?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.
Max chuckled and said, "No, I'm just showing it off, just in case it can scare someone!"
"Besides, you are here."
As the two chatted and laughed, a head popped out from the corner of the stairs.
An ordinary girl with somewhat fluffy and even messy hair, dark circles under her eyes and a slightly haggard face stuck her head out. When she saw Lin Yu and Max, a look of relief flashed across her face.
Then, Zhigeng spoke up: "Huh...you're players, right? Judging from your appearance, you should be players!"
She asked timidly, but to her surprise Max below stood at attention.
"Wow," Max said excitedly, "May brother, we can lie down now!"
"This is our top-notch expert from the Night Watch, Mr. Robin," Max said, waving his hand. "Hello, Mr. Robin, I'm Max from the Night Watch, and this is May-May from Order!"
"We are both first-level players. I am the 'thief' and he is the 'doctor'!"
Following Max's excited introduction, Zhikui walked down quickly, tugging at the corner of his clothes in a somewhat reserved manner and speaking: "Hello, hello... I didn't expect to meet other 'Night Watchmen' in this dungeon..."
"Yeah," Max said optimistically, "With two 'Night Watch' and one 'Order', at least we players don't have to fight against each other!"
"Let's work together to conquer this dungeon!"
Max said, and Lin Yu echoed: "Indeed, judging by the current dungeon strength and personnel configuration... this dungeon is not difficult for us to pass."
He looked at the bloodstains on the corner of Zhigeng's clothes and asked, "Teacher Zhigeng, you must have killed a lot of monsters before you came down here."
After all, after entering the stairwell, although he had dealt with one monster, Lin Yu could still hear the movements of many monsters coming from above - until a moment before Zhi Geng appeared, all these monsters suddenly became quiet.
Based on the chronological order, it was not difficult for Lin Yu to infer that it was Zhigeng who cleaned up the monsters.
Zhi Geng was a little embarrassed: "Because they looked noisy and scary, so I killed them all..."
"Because the environment here itself gives me some bad associations, so I will...ah, sorry, I overshared a little. This is not a place for chatting."
Robin said, then clapped his hands.
"Okay, anyway, I did some research before I came down to this floor. We're now on the 37th island of Juehai Wu Island. The clearance requirement of leaving the 'island' should refer to this," Zhi lowered his head and looked at the ground, muttering incessantly. "Then, from the things I found on some doctors, I temporarily deduced that to leave this 'madhouse' building, that is, the first step to leaving the island, we need to obtain a prop, probably the 'dean's permission'. The dean's office is likely on the first floor..."
Lin Yu listened to Zhi Geng's long speech, which sounded like a primary school student reciting a text on stage, and immediately reacted.
First of all, there is indeed a mechanism similar to "reincarnation" in this copy. It is not that I have used some fraudulent means to "roll back" again but did not retain the memory.
Secondly...
Zhi Geng should have also conveyed some information to herself from the previous reincarnation through some means.
