Ji Xun quickly looked around and saw that this was a mechanical-style secret room.
In addition to their cage, there are two other iron cages.
There are two people locked in each iron cage.
Inside an iron cage were acquaintances, the bald captain of the Blackwater mercenaries who had escaped before and one of his men.
In the other iron cage are two strangers, an old man and a young man, wearing black suits.
They didn't even wear gas masks, allowing people to clearly see the arrogance on the young people's faces and the humility in the old man's demeanor.
Chujiu recognized the identities of the two people and whispered: "The fourth young master of the Cao family, the governor of Innocence City."
"oh?"
Ji Xun raised his brows and murmured to himself: "It seems that it was these two guys who triggered the hidden plot in the extra-dimensional space before."
Compared to the bewilderment of the two mercenaries, the master and servant were obviously prepared, with indifferent expressions, as if they were expecting something.
And there was no trace of the two of them along the way, so they must have come through some special way.
Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that these two guys are the culprits of the sudden increase in space difficulty.
Seeing the two newcomers Ji Xun appear, the two bald mercenaries were also stunned: These two guys are not dead yet?
When the fourth young master of the Cao family saw Ji Xun and the other two, they were a little surprised at the difficulty of the space. It was already surprising that there were two alive, and now there were actually two more.
But they just glanced at it and didn't care. Their attention was not on the person, but on something else.
...
It looked like he was about to play some kind of game.
When everyone is present, the game begins.
At this moment, the "crunching" "crunching" sound of gear friction was heard, and the six people looked at it together.
A hole suddenly opened in the middle of the iron plate in the middle of the three iron cages, and a rusty mechanical clown rose up from the ground.
The clown hat, the funny red nose, and the crooked smiling face.
The red and blue paint colors have faded, and there are mottled rust everywhere, leaving traces of time everywhere.
"Clown..."
When Ji Xun saw this weird mechanical clown, an inexplicable kindness flashed across his eyes.
It has been here for many, many years, lonely and long, waiting for someone to come here.
As if looking into a mirror, Ji Xun seemed to see himself, and felt the same loneliness.
The clown's legs are springs, which makes it shake its head in an indescribably weird and weird way.
Just when everyone was looking at this strange mechanical clown, it actually came to life. Jie Jie smiled and said: "Welcome to the 'Clown's Feast of Fright'. The following is the last level of the game. As long as you can pass it, you can
Got away alive.”
Full of playful and weird mechanical sounds.
When they heard that they could get out, the six people in the iron cage had different expressions.
No one thought this final level would be easy.
At this time, the fourth young master of the Cao family seemed eager to verify something and asked: "I want to know if the 'source of disaster' is here?"
He had been preparing for that thing for so long, and now he was about to go out. He hadn't seen the shadow yet, so he naturally wanted to ask.
As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun and his two men also looked over.
What the young master said was very cryptic.
If Ji Xun and the two hadn't read those files before, they wouldn't have known what the "source of disaster" he was referring to was.
Ji Xun clearly remembers that there is this passage in the file: "On May 3, 1141 in the imperial calendar, the 'S-class source of disaster' was unsealed and research began."
The source of the disaster in the entire bunker was actually the "source of disaster".
What was even more unexpected was that the mechanical clown actually responded: "Of course. Those who finally pass the level will naturally get the epic source card."
The clown directly revealed what the source of the disaster was.
Ji Xun is not surprised that there is a final level, but this clown seems to be an intelligent NPC?
So, this seems to be the final boss that doesn’t require killing monsters.
But he instinctively felt that this level would be more difficult.
While speaking, there was an indescribable evil intention and jest in the clown's expression, "However, only the living are qualified to know the truth~"
Hearing this, the fourth young master of the Cao family looked playful, obviously expecting this result.
Ji Xun doesn’t know what “epic source cards” are.
The two mercenaries didn't seem to have heard of it, and their faces were blank.
But Chujiu on the side obviously knew it. She couldn't hide her shock and murmured: "There is really..."
...
Because he didn't know what a source card was, Ji Xun had no interest in any source cards for the time being.
He carefully looked at the layout in front of him.
The three iron cages were formed into a glyph shape. When I glanced at the top of my head, at the same time as the clown appeared, the rows of iron spikes also showed their sharpness.
The iron cage is completely locked and there is no possibility of forced escape.
In other words, if the iron thorn falls, the six people in the cage will die.
The last level is not that easy to pass.
As soon as the mechanical clown finished speaking, a platform slowly rose from the three iron cages, with a colorful revolver like a toy gun placed on it.
The clown's penetrating voice sounded again.
"The last level of the game is called...Roulette of Fortune."
"Please listen carefully to the rules of the game."
"1. There is a bullet in the revolver in front of you. This is the only way to leave the space. You can only leave by firing. 2. You can only fire one shot at each other, and then take turns. Until someone dies and the living person leaves.
3. The iron saw above your head will drop one meter every fifteen seconds, which means that if you have not decided whether to live or die after one minute, you will all be stabbed into a sieve."
"Please follow the rules of the game, otherwise you will all die."
"Okay, now the game begins!"
...
Can you get out alive only by killing your teammates?
Sure enough, the last level is the most difficult.
Ji Xun carefully recalled the rules of the game, with a confused look in his eyes.
This level tests: human nature.
The moment the mechanical clown finished speaking, the bald mercenary in the cage grabbed the revolver in his hand like lightning.
His intuition told him that no matter what the situation was, it was best to keep the initiative in his own hands.
As for the other two cages, Ji Xun and Chujiu did not move.
The fourth young man of the Cao family and the old man did not move.
Apparently they all feel that this level is not as simple as it looks.
They are all waiting.
Waiting to find other ways to break the situation.
Another thing is that they are all waiting for the bald two to try the rules of the game first.
However, shortly after the clown announced the start of the game, a harsh "click" sound of metal friction was heard, and the iron spikes above their heads fell rapidly, reminding them to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise everyone would die.
The death threat was right above his head, and the bald mercenary didn't realize that cold sweat was covering his forehead.
He held up the revolver in his hand. After all, he could not withstand the fear of death in his heart. He shouted loudly: "Brother, I'm sorry!"
Then he decisively pulled the trigger.
"Click."
The impact of the hammer made a crisp sound, and the body of the mercenary opposite him trembled violently.
However, no bullets were fired.
Empty gun!
At this time, it was not over.
The first shot of the bald man was empty. There was a fierce look in his eyes, and he decisively pulled the trigger again to fire the second shot.
Ji Xun, who was not far away, watched this scene of brothers fighting each other with great interest.
The bald man's ruthlessness and cunning have been seen before. His teammates in the same cage did not expect that the captain who regarded him as a life and death brother actually wanted to kill him?
However, the strange thing is that no matter how hard the bald head tries, he can't pull the trigger.
At this time, the colorful revolver disappeared from the hand and appeared on the table again.
The mercenary opposite grabbed it in his hand, his eyes fierce and decisive. Since you shot first, don't blame me!
He pointed at the bald head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Click."
Destiny is like a clown who likes to play tricks on people.
Empty gun again.
Rotate again.
The bald mercenary heard the gunshot for a moment, and his soul seemed to tremble.
When he came to his senses and realized that he was not dead, he was overjoyed and quickly grabbed the revolver.
As if racing against death, he decisively pulled the trigger a second time without giving his teammates a chance to react.
This time, there was a "bang" sound, flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the mercenary on the opposite side fell down in response.
When the bald man saw this, his pupils quickly dilated and he gasped for air. After a moment of daze, the ecstasy of surviving the disaster appeared on his face.
The ecstasy of saving his life from the god of death made him laugh crazily: "Hahaha..."
At this moment, a distorted light door appeared on the corpse opposite, and the bald head also saw Enlightenment, and he could go out.
“We can really escape from this hellish place!”
The bald man was ecstatic in his heart.
Along the way, the cloud of death has been hanging over our heads. At this moment, this damn extradimensional space finally ended.
But that's how human nature is.
No longer worried about his life, he thought of something else.
The mechanical clown just mentioned the "source of disaster" and "source card".
Various signs indicate that there is obviously some treasure hidden in this extradimensional space.
Along with greed, he immediately felt that he had narrowly escaped death and came here, and it was a pity to leave like this.
However, just for a moment of hesitation, a cold and disdainful taunt came to my ears: "What, you still want to stay here?"
The fourth young master of the Cao family saw the bald head's thoughts and warned coldly: "If you hesitate for one more second, I can guarantee that our Cao family will have your Blackwater Mercenary Group removed from Innocence City!"
"..."
This sentence seemed to be more threatening than the revolver just now. The bald man's eyelids twitched and he trembled in fear.
In an instant, he understood what the "Cao family" meant.
This young man is the "boss behind the scenes" who hired their Blackwater mercenary group.
Although I didn't know this person's identity before, the group leader bowed down and spoke in front of this boss, so he could only be the Cao family from the Governor's Mansion in Shangcheng.
If this person dies, I won't be afraid of the threat.
But if two people survive, one of them, whether it is the young master or the housekeeper, will definitely make it out alive.
Even if you do get any treasure rewards by then, you won't be able to enjoy them.
The bald man is also a master who adapts to the situation. He weighed the pros and cons for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "Master, we don't mean that. I just want to ask you if you want to..."
Fourth Young Master Cao interrupted him and said disdainfully: "Get out!"
"yes."
The bald mercenary wanted to curry favor, but after hearing these words, he could only smile and turn around to leave.
He walked to the distorted light door and disappeared immediately.
...
You can really get out by killing your companions.
The remaining four people witnessed with their own eyes the scene of life and death teammates killing each other.
I also understand that if you abide by the rules of the game, you can indeed survive.
However, without much thought, after just a moment's delay, there was a "clang" sound, and the iron thorn above his head fell down again.
There are still more than thirty seconds left. If something is not done, everyone in the cage will die together.
Ji Xun was not in a hurry, watching with interest what the master and servant were going to choose.
Chujiu didn't grab the revolver either, he seemed to be thinking about something else.
Neither the master nor the servant moved.
Everyone has guessed at this level that there must be other options.
A few more breaths passed before Fourth Young Master Cao picked up the revolver and started observing it.
The gun seems to be fine, but something feels wrong.
The old man opposite had no intention of grabbing it at all, so he stood quietly.
But he didn't fire either. He observed something carefully and then looked at the mechanical clown not far away, thoughtfully.
After a few breaths, the iron thorn on the top of his head fell off again.
The old man finally couldn't help but urge: "Master, shoot quickly, otherwise it will be too late. If it doesn't work this time, you can try again next time you come in."
The iron spikes above their heads creaked, as if it was a countdown to life, urging the four of them to make a decision as soon as possible.
As a servant of the Cao family, he has already had the consciousness to die.
Is this the only way...
Although Fourth Young Master Cao realized that this method was probably wrong, he had no choice.
Indeed, as the old servant said, if it doesn't work this time, then come in again.
Anyway, I have almost figured out this extra-dimensional space, and I can still think about it slowly when I go out.
With the thought together, Fourth Young Master Cao also made a decision, decisively raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
"Crack!"
The gun is empty.
The rule of the game is that you can only fire one shot at the opponent.
This time it was the old man who picked up the revolver.
Ji Xun and Chujiu also watched to see if the servant would kill his master.
However, what the two of them didn't expect was that the old man picked up the revolver and shot himself in the head without hesitation without aiming at the other side.
"Click", it was an empty gun again.
The old man placed the firearm on the table in front of him and urged: "Master, hurry up and shoot."
suicide?
Seeing this scene, Ji Xun's expressions were all solemn.
Whether it is foolish loyalty or anything else, loyalty is worthy of respect.
If the old man made such a choice, then the young man would definitely be able to survive.
It can be regarded as following the rules of the game.
His old servant chose to sacrifice himself, but Master Cao, with a calm expression on his face, took the revolver and pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
Bullets ejected from the muzzle.
A bloody hole appeared between the old man's eyebrows and he fell to the ground.
The Distorted Light Gate also appeared on the corpse.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Young Master Cao's expression was calm.
He didn't look further, nor did he choose to leave. Instead, he turned to look at Ji Xun and the two in the cage.
