"That's not right. If Netherworld City is really muted, why can we hear each other's voices? Could it be that it's not that sound is forbidden, but that sound can only be transmitted within a certain range? "Liu Yun said after some thought.
"From the looks of it, the possibility is very high. In other words, we have to walk over to communicate with those people," Zhou Wen said as he looked at the people on the street.
"That's fatal. The person closest to us is 163 stone slabs away. Even if sound can transmit within a certain range, we won't need to walk to him. We'll have to walk at least 100 steps." Liu Yun counted the stone slabs on the street.
"Let's walk and see. Even if we stand here and don't move, the third rule might still take our lives," Zhou Wen said.
"Bullsh * t ironclad rule. If the ironclad rule is really effective, wouldn't we die without a doubt? Killing means death, but not killing means death. I think there must be something wrong with those three ironclad rules, "Liu Yun said.
"Murderers die. If you don't kill a person a day, you can only commit suicide. What method is there to satisfy these two conditions without dying?" Zhou Wen frowned in thought.
Liu Yun looked at Zhou Wen and said, "I've thought of a way. If I push you out now and make your number return to zero, you might die because of me. It can be said that I killed you, but I didn't kill you with my own hands. Does this count as satisfying two conditions at the same time?"
"That's one method." Zhou Wen nodded slightly.
However, Liu Yun shook his head and said, "This method is useless. Even if I kill you, I'll only live one more day. The price isn't proportional to the benefits."
"Our understanding of Netherworld City is limited now. Let's walk over and ask the people in front. Perhaps we can obtain some useful information," Zhou Wen said as he walked forward.
"Don't go yet. Let's think of a solution. Perhaps we can think of a solution. For example, you can carry me. That way, we might only need to expend one person's steps," Liu Yun shouted.
"If I carry you, won't your legs leave the ground?" Zhou Wen said.
"I'm just giving an example. Perhaps there are other methods," Liu Yun said.
"Then take your time to think. Tell me when you're done." Zhou Wen probed as he walked forward.
On the same slate, no matter how one moved it back and forth, the number would not change. However, as long as one moved it to the next slate, the number would change.
If one steps over two stone slabs, the number will be reduced by two.
"You're already leaving. What's the point of telling you?" Liu Yun gritted his teeth and followed.
The two of them watched as the number on the slate continued to decrease. They were very nervous. No one knew what would happen when the number reached zero.
As Zhou Wen walked, he looked at his phone. Netherworld City was still downloading and hadn't finished downloading.
This was because he didn't know when the phone game would finish downloading. If he couldn't download it in a day, he might very well be waiting for death if he didn't do anything.
Therefore, Zhou Wen decided to do his best. If the phone didn't work, he still had a chance of surviving.
After walking about seven to eight stone slabs, Zhou Wen suddenly had an ominous feeling the instant he stepped onto the square. It was as though something was different.
This time, the slate didn't just show numbers. Apart from the numbers, there were also four words.
Cause of death: Murder by knife.
Zhou Wen stood motionless, his body tense as he prepared to unleash his strength at any moment.
Liu Yun also felt that something was amiss. He stopped four stone slabs away from Zhou Wen and asked, "What happened?"
Before Zhou Wen could answer, he heard a bang. Not far in front of him, a warrior wrapped in armor appeared with a saber in hand.
After appearing, he slashed at Zhou Wen without a word. The black saber beam instantly appeared in front of Zhou Wen as fast as a phantom.
Clang! Zhou Wen pulled out his Bamboo Blade and clashed with the black-armored warrior.
The black-armored warrior's strength was much weaker than Zhou Wen's. He was sent retreating, but he wasn't injured. It was obvious that he was an Epic dimensional creature and not a human.
Zhou Wen couldn't move, but the black-armored warrior didn't have such restrictions. He moved rapidly and constantly slashed from all directions, hoping to slash Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen brandished his saber to fight, but all he could do was stand where he was.
All this while, Zhou Wen had focused on training his movement techniques. Now that he couldn't move, he was a little unused to it. However, his realm, reaction, consciousness, and technique were still there. It wasn't difficult for him to block the black-armored warrior's attack.
Liu Yun was too close to Zhou Wen and was affected by the black-armored warrior. The black-armored warrior actually slashed at him as well. Liu Yun had no choice but to take two steps back to avoid being affected by the battle.
However, the number also decreased with his retreat. He couldn't help but feel depressed.
It's clearly a stone slab that I've already passed. Yet, the number still decreases when I return. Damn it, Liu Yun cursed inwardly.
However, seeing Zhou Wen constantly being surrounded by the black-armored warrior, he gloated and joked, "Junior Brother, your saber technique isn't bad. If you could move, even ten black-armored warriors wouldn't be enough to kill you. What a pity."
"Even if I can't move, it won't be difficult to kill him. However, if I kill him, I can't predict what will happen next," Zhou Wen said.
Liu Yun nodded when he heard that. "This black-armored warrior should be considered a top existence at the Epic stage. His movement techniques and saber techniques are very powerful. His strength is slightly weaker, but it's still top-notch. This time, an Epic appeared. If the next time a Mythical appears, we will definitely die since we can't use our Companion Beasts and can't move freely."
"I'm not referring to that. I'm wondering if this black-armored warrior is considered human. If I kill him, will I be violating the first ironclad rule? "Zhou Wen added.
After Liu Yun heard that, his expression turned solemn. "If he's considered human, then we really have no chance of survival. Killing him means death, but if we don't kill him, we will be constantly attacked. We will die when our stamina is exhausted."
After some thought, Liu Yun continued, "I think there's a high chance that he's not considered human. Otherwise, there's no way for us to survive."
"I don't think Netherworld City has any intention of giving us a way out," Zhou Wen said coldly.
Zhou Wen's mind raced. He definitely had to kill the black-armored warrior. It was impossible for him to continue fighting him like this. However, he couldn't kill him casually either. He had to be prepared.
The black-armored warrior appeared behind Zhou Wen like a ghost and was already very close to him. Zhou Wen suddenly turned around and slashed out with his Bamboo Blade like a phantom.
Before the black-armored warrior's saber could land, his saber had already sliced the black-armored warrior into two.
