Time seemed to stop. When Bai Wu was about to take the key, he suddenly felt an instinctive rejection.
"Among the three options, the best one is that after seeing the evil, it will grant me a talent sequence, the middle one is the evil's favorability, and the worst one is that the evil will hate me. Although it should be naturally hostile to humans."
"What I have to do is at least not get the worst lottery."
Bai Wu had made a judgment shortly after entering the room. In order to ensure that the ending would not disgust him, he reorganized his thoughts:
"The three rooms at the end of the corridor should be a laboratory. In addition to what we see now, there should have been many props in the laboratory, but they have all been destroyed."
"The experimental subjects are usually locked in cages, and their every move is monitored. The experimental process is to inject a certain reagent and observe its reaction. This reagent may be related to evil..."
"During this process, the subject was visited by someone, or her thoughts had come into contact with other people. Her thoughts at that time were probably not resentful."
The basis for Bai Wu's inference was the information left by the evil creature on the first floor.
"The evil creature that died on the first floor probably never saw her before he became an evil creature. At least the hospital would never let these monsters meet... She might be communicating with others through thoughts. This is a secret between her and the other experimental subjects. If I were the hospital, I would definitely not want the experimental subjects to communicate privately."
"The evil one on the first floor was once worried that she would be transferred to the second building. She was indeed transferred, which means her ability has been discovered? Perhaps there were other experimental subjects who came into contact with her thoughts and reported it?"
"Well, we can infer that the evil spirits in the second building are stronger than those in the first building. At least they can launch resentful attacks... or in other words, after they have some kind of superpowers, they will collectively move to the second building."
"But why is there a comb? Judging from the words on the note on the first floor, the experimental subject is a female. But in such an environment, why would she need a comb?"
"There is only this comb, without any notes..."
Bai Wu already had a guess in his mind. If his empathy ability was intact, he would have felt some negative emotion at this moment.
But the watch value was still zero. Bai Wu stood there, feeling empty inside again.
…
Lin Wu Rou was still urging, her voice suddenly becoming anxious, Wu Jiu and Wang Shi also began to call Bai Wu's name.
The black arms originally only stretched out from the ceiling, and their number became increasingly scarce.
But when they tried to enter the room, black arms began to emerge frantically from the walls on both sides.
When Bai Wu was about to make a choice, the resentment on the entire eleventh floor was extremely strong.
The already cramped corridor seemed to be filled with materialized resentment.
The sudden change made everyone's emotions fluctuate. The watch value that was about to return to zero began to increase rapidly again.
Even though they could cope with the current situation, the growing resentment made the group feel uneasy.
The value on Yin Shuang's watch has reached 45, which is halfway to the danger line of 75.
"What happened? Why didn't the boy respond? Could he have died in there?" Lin Wu Rou was also a little panicked.
"Why is this resentment so strong all of a sudden? Is it the real body of Evil Doom approaching? Could it be that Bai Wu encountered the real body of Evil Doom in the house?" Wang Shi continued to charge against the resentment.
The only person who could sense the existence of the evil was Shang Xiaoyi. But Shang Xiaoyi's crazy laughter echoed in the corridor. The evil was full of resentment, his face was distorted by excitement, and he could not be relied on at all at the moment.
Wujiu's pair of phoenix eyes narrowed into a line, and his speed, which was already extremely exaggerated, could be increased again.
"Save him before you go."
Before reaching the critical point, everyone did not intend to give up on Bai Wu. Even Lin Wu Rou, who had the most vicious tongue, was ready to do her best to break through the barrier of resentment and rescue Bai Wu.
But just as everyone was about to display their unique skills, all the resentment disappeared in an instant...
The sound of the doorknob turning was heard, and Bai Wu walked out with a horn comb in his hand and a calm face.
"Sorry for the long wait. Let's go to the 19th floor."
Bai Wu roughly guessed what happened in the corridor from the enthusiasm on Shang Xiaoyi's face. He didn't explain anything, such as the situation inside and why he chose this comb.
Wujiu looked at Bai Wu with an inquiring look. Lin Wurou asked directly:
"You're not dead? If you're not dead, why don't you say anything? Where's the evil inside? Did you solve it?"
If the owner of the resentment had not been dealt with, why would the strong resentment just now disappear in an instant
"We have suppressed the source temporarily, but we should encounter it again later. Let's go. This building is not worth exploring."
Bai Wu walked in front of the team and headed towards the elevator. The members of Group 1 looked strange.
Especially Lin Wurou, who snorted coldly after shaking her long hair, felt that she had never pretended to be this newcomer. The evil degenerate who could create such a huge resentment was naturally extraordinary.
Wang Shi was very happy to see his teammates were fine. Shang Xiaoyi seemed to be unsatisfied. Yin Shuang slowly adjusted her breathing and tried to lower the value on her watch as much as possible.
Wujiu recalled that the group was blocked by resentment just now. He thought that the white fog was a dangerous situation, but he didn't expect that the resentment suddenly dissipated as soon as he came out.
The most incredible thing is that until now, the value on the Baiwu watch is still zero.
…
…
The elevator slowly rose again. Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, Bai Wu asked first:
"Captain, I have a question. Are the evil ones transformed from humans? If we stay outside the tower all the time, will we also become evil under certain circumstances?"
After Bai Wu finished speaking, everyone in the first group, except Wujiu, subconsciously turned their heads away.
Wujiu was silent for two seconds, then said calmly:
"Did you see the watch on your hand? The danger level is seventy-five."
"I know."
Bai Wu had carefully read every part of the brochure for the investigation outside the tower. Once the emotional fluctuations reached seventy-five, the evil in the entire area could be smelled.
"You should have noticed the color of the dial. Before the value is 75, the dial color is green, and after 75, the dial color is orange. The upper limit of the emotional detection watch is 300, and when it is 175, the color of the dial is red."
Wujiu didn't say anything else. The elevator had already reached the 19th floor. It was still pitch black outside the elevator door. He took out a flashlight and walked in front.
Although the captain didn't finish his words, Bai Wu already knew the answer.
The red value is between 175 and 300. If negative emotions accumulate too much and the watch value reaches this range, people may become evil and degenerate...
In short, when people are extremely angry, they can become evil and depraved.
The structure of the nineteenth floor is slightly different from the previous floors. The end of the original corridor has been converted into a dining area.
Outside the dining area is the skywalk connecting the two buildings. When passing by the dining area, Shang Xiaoyi said timidly:
"There are six... six evil creatures outside the door. They should be of a higher level than the one the captain killed."
Wujiu nodded calmly, then pulled out "Evil Must Die" and pushed open the door at the back of the dining area.
"Has he always been like this?" Bai Wu looked at Wang Shi.
"Although I am the vanguard, the captain will always be the one rushing to the front. But don't worry, up to now, we have indeed encountered evil creatures that the captain could not deal with, but the captain always managed to escape unscathed."
Bai Wu knew clearly that Wujiu was extremely fast. He had discovered before that the captain's speed was so fast that it crushed others.
This puzzled him:
"Is the growth direction of the companion force different for everyone?"
"It's the same, but every time you level up, you will gain additional abilities to expand your strengths. I can't describe this process. Anyway, you will understand it when you break through from the first level and ninth stage to the second level."
Wang Shi didn't explain it very clearly, but Bai Wu understood the meaning of his words very well.
Companion power is divided into five aspects: vitality, life recovery, attack power, speed, and perception. Normally, the five attributes will increase when the companion power is improved.
What Wang Shi wants to express, if we use a game analogy, is that when the companion power is upgraded, skill points will be gained.
This skill point can be put on any of the five attributes, giving the attribute a tendency in future battles.
Wujiu is undoubtedly a player with a variety of specialties. He focuses all his energy on speed and concentrates on one thing to reach the pinnacle.
The king's power should focus on attack power and vitality, while Lin Wurou's power and speed each account for a part.
Shang Xiaoyi should be in perception and attack power. Yin Shuang... I can't tell, this woman should be the weakest in the team, but it is certain that she is not in the survival attribute.
So, except for Wang Shi, all the members of this team are crazy dogs who only care about output and not their lives? Too unstable.
Not long after Bai Wu finished talking with Wang Shi, Wu Jiu came back, still with droopy eyelids, looking a little lazy:
"Solved, let's go."
On the sky corridor, six evil creatures were lying in different positions, all wearing security uniforms.
Wujiu's skills made Bai Wu feel quite safe. It was his first time going out of the tower to explore, and he felt quite comfortable having a max-level boss protecting him.
His attention fell on the evil body.
Slightly different from the evil creatures on the ground floor of the first building, their arms are deformed into sickle shapes.
Level 3 Depravity. Distortion entry: Cutting Iron, sickle-shaped arms can cut ordinary metal. They were security guards of the Ninth Hospital when they were alive, and they were dead security guards of the Ninth Hospital when they died. After the dean was eaten, they only obeyed the orders of the poor little guy.
It seems that these six are the gatekeepers of the second building.
Before entering the second building, Bai Wu thought of another question. He looked at Wu Jiu:
"The evil ones in the first building are no match for you. As long as we control our emotions, the evil ones in the second building won't be able to sense us.
I'm very curious, since the longer you survive outside the tower, the faster your companion power grows, then why don't we choose to hang up in the first building?"
There are generally three strategies for clearing any level. Relying on proficiency to pass it quickly, Bai Wu doesn't like speed running, as it is meaningless except for showing off skills.
The second is to pass the level normally, relying on collecting clues and slowly clearing the level. This is also what he does most often.
The third one is the favorite of the old-timers, the Shilipo Sword God style, which uses bugs to max out attributes in the Novice Village, and then crushes all the way through.
At the moment, apart from the fact that the atmosphere of the first building is a bit like a horror movie scene, Bai Wu thinks it is very suitable for AFK leveling.
Lin Wu Rou let out a long-lost sneer.
"Oh, a rookie is a rookie. He doesn't even know this."
Except for Wujiu, the others did not know Bai Wu's background. Wujiu explained:
"The world outside the tower rejects us. In this world, every four hours, the body will add some obstacles."
"Hindered?"
"For example, your speed will be slowed down, your five senses will be weakened, your mood swings will be doubled, you will see hallucinations, your attack power will be reduced, your resistance to evil will be reduced, or you may be afraid of light and darkness, etc. I can't list all the detailed negative attributes. After all, the order of obstacles you encounter each time you leave the tower is random."
Bai Wu understood. Every four hours, a debuff would be generated... In this way, there was really no way to idle and level up.
When it gets to a certain level, it will inevitably attract evil due to too many negative attributes, and its own combat power will drop too much due to the negative attributes, and it will fall into a dangerous state.
Therefore, the first four hours outside the tower for investigation are the most efficient four hours.
Bai Wu now understands a little bit about Wujiu's strength.
Surviving alone in the blue zone for twenty-four days means six negative attributes every day, more than a hundred debuff states on your body, and fighting against evil.
…
At the other end of the sky corridor was endless darkness. Only when the group reached the middle of the corridor could they vaguely see an entrance.
Looking at the note about the entrance that popped up in front of him, Bai Wu reminded:
“Once you’re inside, it’s best not to think of it as a white area.”
Lin Wu Rou did not refute this time. Even though his perception had not been specially cultivated, he could still feel the oppressive atmosphere in the second building.
"Since the sky corridor is on the top floor, we don't need to explore the floors below. We can go directly through the sky corridor of the second building to the third and fourth buildings." It was Yin Shuang who spoke.
Bai Wu shook his head. Yin Shuang’s suggestion was correct, but unfortunately, the person who set the question had already anticipated this.
Don't try to bypass the second building. You must go to the bottom of the second building and get the key. Otherwise, you can't go to the third building even if you pass through the corridor. Friendly reminder, the key was swallowed by a naughty little thing. Although you can pass the level violently with the dwarf, I suggest you make good use of the comb, which will trigger a more generous reward.
