"You once escaped from me in one piece, but that does not mean that you are that smart.
You are passionate about the objective truth, but can you accurately predict the thoughts of others?
Many people have participated in my game. These self-destructive people have no respect for life, and you … what is the difference between you and them? "
When he heard that, Feng Bujue felt like the man was hinting at something else, and what the man said next confirmed his suspicion.
"When the shadow of the unknown lingers in one's mind, most people will feel helpless and afraid, and that will lead to anger and hysteria. All of this originated from their attachment to life.
You, on the other hand, don't confide in anyone or ask for help. You just live indifferently and lead a boring life as usual. You don't show the instinctive, strong will to live of a human being.
Your actions show that you have no appreciation for being alive, and that is a defiance of the law of survival. Even a trapped beast knows how to fight, but you are so relaxed like you have already given up.
I hate ungrateful people.
You think you can escape from judgment because you are fearless? "
Feng Bujue listened to the man's description, and at the same time, he was reminded … The last virtual character who saw through his mental illness was X-23, but this puppet Billy had interacted with him even earlier. And in that scenario, Billy had already shown a certain level of superpower. Even though the shadow in the brain could be explained as a result of the gaming hub's detection or information obtained by the system after the neural connection, these words being said in front of him would still cause a certain amount of psychological pressure.
Billy continued. "Death is always a surprise party, unless your heart is dead.
But from how I see it, your heart is as fresh as any normal person's, and your mind is far more active than theirs. You have the same emotions as other people, but you do not care about whether you will die in the next second.
Now, let us see if you can maintain this attitude until the end.
Now, you have to pay the price. "
Under Feng Bujue's feet, there was the sound of heavy machinery starting to operate. The metal floor of the hidden room started to part, and with the entrance as the central axis, it split into two. The floor started to move towards both sides of the room, but it wasn't fast enough for Feng Bujue to jump to the side.
Below the floor was a pool filled with water. The depth of the pool was about the same as the height of the room, about seven to eight meters. It was enough to drown Feng Bujue, who did not know how to swim.
"It's not water in this pool, it's gasoline. Soon, you will lose your footing.
As a person who doesn't know how to swim, you need enough courage to fight against your survival instinct and find the potion hidden at the bottom of the pool. "
The puppet paused for a moment before going into some details. "When the floor of the room completely recedes into the walls on both sides, the water level of the gasoline will begin to drop. At the same time, the floor will close again toward the middle. When the water level drops to half of its original level, it stops, and at that moment, the floor closes over your head forever. Even if you enter this room again, you won't hit … "
At this point, there was a splash, and Feng Bujue had already jumped into the pool of gasoline.
It was true that he did not know how to swim, but he could hold his breath. He took a deep breath, puffed up his cheeks, and pinched his nose with one hand. With his feet down, he jumped into the pool of gasoline.
Just like that, he quickly sank to the bottom of the pool.
According to the rules that Billy had described, there was only one chance in this game. If he failed, it would be a permanent failure. Before the puppet finished saying "even if you enter this room again," Feng Bujue knew what it meant. Even if he drowned in the pool of gasoline and used the Contra medal to revive himself, the floor would not open again. This was because the floor would close forever.
Other than that, when the floor closed, the water level would drop. This was probably to prevent Feng Bujue from returning to the surface after taking the potion and climbing up by the edge of the floor.
To put it simply, this game was basically for a person who did not know how to swim to find an item at the bottom of the pool of gasoline that was gradually being blocked by the light. If he drowned before he found the item, it would be a failure. Even if he found the item and dog-paddled back to the surface, the floor would not be completely closed. He would not be able to reach the floor and climb up again.
Based on the information that he knew, the normal way to pass the game was to jump into the pool of gasoline, find the potion, and put it in his bag. Then, he would fight his survival instincts at the bottom of the pool and drown in the shortest amount of time. Finally, he would use the Contra medal to revive himself and teleport away.
Actually, for someone who was good at swimming, it was not difficult to find the potion. There was air in the space between the floor and the pool. As long as he was patient and used his energy wisely, even after the floor was completely closed, he could keep going back and forth between the surface and the bottom to find the potion. After all, there was a limited area at the bottom of the pool. When the water level dropped to half, it would only be three to four meters deep. At most, he would need to go back and forth a dozen times to search the bottom.
Of course, there were two things to pay attention to. First, he had to close his eyes. Second, he could not let the gasoline get into his lungs.
The first point was common knowledge. Gasoline would cause burns to the mucous membranes. If it was just a drop or two, he could immediately rinse it with water and wait for it to evaporate. However, if he opened his eyes angrily in the pool of gasoline, it was definitely an act of self-harm. Besides, after the floor was closed, there would be no light in the space below. Even if he opened his eyes, it would be pitch black.
The second point was very disadvantageous for Feng Bujue, who did not know how to swim. For the time being, he could struggle to return to the surface of the gasoline, which had less buoyancy than water. However, a person who had not learned how to use movements to coordinate exhalation would easily choke on water in this situation. If the gasoline really entered his lungs, then he could only wait for the pain of drowning.
Feng Bujue also knew about this situation. As he listened to the rules, he was already thinking of countermeasures.
When the floor began to move, Feng Bujue had already turned his attention to the bottom of the pool. The light that shone on the bottom of the gasoline pool was a small gap at first, and then it became wider and wider. Because the light was in the middle of the ceiling, the entire bottom of the pool was illuminated before the floor was fully opened. But … looking from above, there seemed to be nothing at the bottom.
Feng Bujue was sure of this, so he decisively jumped down. The angle and direction he entered the water was based on his deduction of the potion's location. The potion was in the shadow of the iron cage.
