One day, after forming a contract with the old god,

The previously disappeared ice cubes and the skyrocketing plasma pool gave Qin Yu an intuitive understanding of the anomalies in 1-3.

Therefore, when a few people who had climbed to more than ten floors suddenly fell back to the second floor, she didn't feel much excitement in her heart.

The root cause of the abnormality was undoubtedly the headless male corpse in front of him.

The wild dogs and others are now at a deadlock, which also gave Qin Yu some thoughts.

Escape is useless. Only by completely destroying the anomaly can peace be restored.

While thinking, she suddenly thought of those two reports.

These two abnormal occurrences occurred after the announcement sounded.

From the content of the broadcast, she deduced that the inviter who caused the abnormality was among these people.

At the same time, she also noticed a very critical issue. The broadcast this time was obviously different from that in 1-2.

First of all, in the 1-2 trial area, the format of the broadcast content is mostly:

An inviter has activated personal rewards and triggered zone-wide punishment ××.

or:

An inviter triggers a zone-wide reward ××.

She always thought that personal rewards and district-wide punishments were tied to each other.

However, the personal rewards part was not mentioned in the briefing just now.

This shows that the rules of broadcasting are not static.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the original intention of Dream Cube is to weaken the advantages of the inviters and constantly set up various traps on the way to the tower.

It is also an important core of all rules.

Here she noticed a problem, the 1-2 penalty covered the entire area.

The content of the broadcast just now only mentioned:

An inviter has triggered punishment: endless loop

The content did not mention the word "whole region".

Does this mean that the current abnormal situation is only for the current area?

There is another key question:

How exactly do they trigger punishment?

In the 1-2 trial area, the reason why she was able to trigger personal gains was because the trial area assigned her the task of resolving the mermaid's resentment. Personal gains were an accessory after completing the task.

She thought this method would continue in 1-3.

At least there is a premise before there can be a follow-up.

However, from their reactions, it seemed that they did not see the mission appearing.

This shows that the triggering rules have changed again in 1-3.

Although the electronic sound in the safe zone will remind you at the end every time:

The trial area is extremely random.

But she never thought that it could be so random?

Isn't this the rhythm of playing with the dead?

She couldn't help but have a headache.

If you want to avoid the occurrence of punishment, or minimize the occurrence of punishment, there is an important prerequisite.

That is to figure out the mechanism that triggers punishment.

To be honest, she had no clue about this.

It’s clear that everyone has done nothing, so why do reports of punishment come one after another?

Could it be related to cause and effect?

Because they brutally killed Cao Hang, did they trigger the retribution link in the causal cycle?

She sighed. At present, this is the only theory that holds water.

My thoughts return to the present.

The climbing height fell back to the second floor in the blink of an eye, which was a big blow to them.

The raven also returned to its starting point in circles.

The headless male corpse stood quietly at the stairs on the first floor looking at them.

It didn't approach suddenly, nor did it do anything that would make people crazy.

But an atmosphere of depression and despair has filled everyone's hearts, and they are wandering between fleeing and giving up.

Do you want to keep running?

If they return to the starting point again, will their escape be meaningful?

Who knows whether their next actions will trigger a punishment notification.

The surroundings were so quiet that they could clearly hear the sound of blood spurting from the neck of the headless man's corpse.

It is impossible for a normal person to spurt out a pool of plasma that fills the entire hall, let alone a steady stream of blood rushing out of the injured area.

This is a visual and auditory torture for them.

In the dark.

Everyone's sanity levels are falling at different rates. After the two sides were in a stalemate for three minutes.

The wild dog suddenly gritted his teeth, patted Tang Wei on the shoulder, and ordered: "Continue going up."

Tang Wei's face was covered with a lot of sweat, and he looked like a deflated ball.

Weak and weak.

He was proud of his ability to become extremely powerful, but now he didn't even have the strength to take a step.

Li Shuang also began to slowly slide down from his shoulders.

He didn't know whether it was because he lost his strength and couldn't hold on, or because the bastard became more liquefied.

He swallowed his saliva, shook Li Shuang stiffly and mechanically, and lifted it up with his hands.

The strange thing is that he did not find the bone structure that the human body should have. On the contrary, Li Shuang seemed to have really turned into a puddle of water.

The actual touch feels a lot like touching a water bag.

He could even hear the splash of liquid under the body.

His mind went blank for an instant, and he didn't dare to look at Li Shuang, who had his head drooping under his nose.

The wild dog didn't know what he was thinking, and could only see that his face gradually turned pale to the point of no blood, and his breathing was so light that it was inaudible.

By the end he didn't even blink.

It's very similar to the paper-shaped people sold in the shop.

It doesn't look like it's alive.

He a little doubted whether Tang Wei was dead...?

"Awei..." The wild dog raised his hand cautiously and waved it in front of him.

Slowly, Tang Wei's wandering soul came back.

"Brother Dog..." Big drops of sweat slid down his face, like a wax man about to melt.

"Don't worry, we will get out." The wild dog turned and winked at the raven.

[Tang Wei is not in good condition. Go and help him carry Li Shuang. 】

The few of them walked up tremblingly again.

The wild dogs were at the forefront.

Tang Wei walked in the middle carrying Li Shuang.

In order to prevent Li Shuang from sliding down midway, Raven walked at the end, and from time to time he would lend a hand to lift him up.

No one has to worry about the raven getting away.

Behind him is a headless male corpse. Only by following them upward can you find a chance of survival.

In order to save the light source, or because he was worried that Tang Wei couldn't help but look down.

Among the few people, only the wild dog walking in the front was flashing a flashlight.

I don’t know how long I walked, but fear made the passage of time feel extremely long.

The first one who couldn't hold his breath was Tang Wei. Sweat was dripping down his sleeves and trouser legs. Raven secretly moved away from him.

He was afraid that the elder brother would lose strength and fall down before knocking himself down.

"Brother Dog, haven't you arrived yet?" Tang Wei felt that they had climbed much further this time than the last time.

In fact, they didn't even get half as far as the last time.

"Soon." The wild dog soothed patiently.

After climbing another level.

The wild dog at the front suddenly stopped.

The searching flashlight light shines directly on the feet.

Tang Wei was confused at this time and did not notice the abnormality ahead.

The raven at the end was the first to notice something was wrong with the wild dog.

His eyes followed the flashlight, and his head suddenly buzzed loudly.

The ground was covered with dense traces of water.

He could vaguely see the water trail extending into the darkness of the spiral staircase.

Maybe the wild dog doesn't know what it is, but he won't be unclear.

Why did Tang Wei's sweat appear on the stairs going up?

Slowly, a bold idea exploded in my mind.

Are they back to where they started?
