Chapter 705 The Maze's Reputation!
However, knowing the source of the specific situation is ultimately a good thing.
Mr. Abdul took a deep breath and stepped back, landing behind Chu Yang.
He completely regarded himself as Chu Yang's follower, and he only wanted to follow Chu Yang through all the mazes with ease.
"Come with me."
Chu Yang immediately led everyone towards the lowest level of the ship's cabin.
Based on his understanding of the original plot, he had deduced that this was a horrific massacre caused by an extraordinary individual using their abilities.
As the three of them moved, Miss Hugh turned her head and reminded them, "You'd better not come along. Find somewhere to hide. This will all be over soon."
Although Miss Xiu knew that everything that happened here was fabricated out of thin air, or that it was all over.
She also knew that the woman she had just saved might have already perished in some historical event.
However, she couldn't help but remind the woman what to do.
"Are you called Hugh?"
Watching Miss Hugh's departing figure, the woman from before suddenly asked a question in a loud voice.
Hugh turned around and nodded heavily, then quickly left without looking back.
"You don't need to do this. If we clear the game, this scene will disappear soon, so it's all meaningless."
Mr. Abdul gave Miss Hugh a meaningful reminder.
Miss Hugh simply shook her head stubbornly, explaining, "Some things are meaningful just because they're done."
This answer surprised even Chu Yang, who was leading the way.
Perhaps this has always been Ms. Hugh's guiding principle in doing things.
She did her best to help the many blue-collar workers who sought her help.
Many people have also successfully escaped their destined death with her help.
Miss Hugh did this partly to obtain enough funds to survive.
But no one can erase the efforts she made to save those people.
Seemingly sensing that Mr. Abdul did not approve, Miss Hugh turned to Chu Yang for help.
This was entirely a subconscious action on his part, probably because he had always trusted Chu Yang very much.
"I think it's essential to have your own principles, especially for people like us who are embarking on an extraordinary path."
Chu Yang spoke quite seriously, for this was indeed his thought, and this was what he had always done.
This bizarre and extraordinary world was absolutely terrible. If not for a glimmer of humanity shining through, he simply couldn't imagine how dark it must be.
A bright smile bloomed on Miss Xiu's face; this was the reason why she trusted Chu Yang, her partner, the most.
Almost everyone on the ship was infected, and as they continued to descend, they encountered more and more madmen.
Fortunately, both Chu Yang and Miss Xiu had ways to deal with the enemy, and Mr. Abdul was holding a revolver in his hand.
The journey has been relatively peaceful so far, with virtually no one able to breach their outer defensive layer.
Before long, the group arrived at a relatively small cabin filled with various boxes.
There were quite a few people hiding in the corner of the box. When they saw Chu Yang and his two companions, their faces were full of surprise.
With these supplies, they have barely managed to survive until now. Their only thought for living is to wait for reinforcements, and now those reinforcements have finally arrived.
The three of them, Chu Yang and his companion, also appeared to be quite formidable fighters, enough to escort them back to where they were and allow them to once again feel the warmth of the sun.
However, the survivors at the forefront who had been fighting had a wary look in their eyes.
During their time on the ship, they had never seen Chu Yang and his companions, so naturally they couldn't easily trust them.
"Where did you come from? And who are you?"
One of the men in uniform raised his longsword without hesitation and stared at Chu Yang and his two companions.
Chu Yang had no interest in paying attention to this guy and immediately shouted at the crowd.
"Whoever speaks here has the most influence. I can resolve the current predicament, but I need your cooperation."
As soon as Chu Yang finished speaking, the guys at the front started to get restless, but none of them actually stepped forward.
Miss Xiu could no longer bear it and immediately used her extraordinary power to make his words full of authority and judgment, repeating Chu Yang's previous remarks once again.
This time, the people at the scene no longer hesitated. Someone subconsciously pointed a finger at a middle-aged man who had been silent all along.
In addition, a rather young and immature-looking child next to the middle-aged man was also pointed out by the crowd.
Listening to the chatter of the crowd, Chu Yang realized that the middle-aged man was the captain of the ship, and the child beside him was a smart person whom everyone trusted.
The child has very delicate features, and his eyes are constantly blinking, making him look quite intelligent.
"Are you called Darius?"
Chu Yang subconsciously lowered his voice when speaking to the little guy in front of him.
"Yes, sir, how can I help you?"
As she spoke, Daisy's body trembled slightly, and she looked very frightened.
He was still trying to hide himself in the crowd, not wanting to easily come into contact with Chu Yang and the other two.
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason everyone on the ship is going crazy right now is because they've been instigated by you."
"Lord Darius, your appearance is indeed very alluring, but you cannot fool my eyes. You must be a member of the spiritual school, right?"
Chu Yang pointed out the real culprit behind the scenes, and then without hesitation, he took out a pistol he was carrying and emptied all the bullets from the magazine at Darius in front of him.
He clearly realized that once he pointed out the mastermind, it would be meaningless for the guy in front of him to have any way of arguing.
He could even sense that the surrounding scenery seemed to be slowly dissipating.
Now that he is in a completely safe situation and has finally gotten the chance to use his abilities, he naturally won't miss it.
Therefore, Chu Yang released the special combat abilities possessed by the next stage of the Guardian ahead of schedule.
In an instant, he used numerous bullets to plan a perfect trajectory, completely blocking any possible space for Darius to dodge.
After personally dealing with an extraordinary individual, Chu Yang's combat experience was quietly increasing.
After the scene shattered, Mr. Abdul kept a close eye on Chu Yang.
"So, is he using his actions to prove that some things, though meaningless, are indeed necessary to do?"
When Mr. Abdul turned his head, he saw that Miss Hugh was smiling even more brightly.
It was clear that the two made the same choice in an instant, which made Miss Hugh's heart even brighter.
In fact, at the same time Chu Yang started, Miss Hugh had already picked up her pistol without hesitation and fired bullets at the middle-aged captain next to Darius.
She knew very well that spending a long time around someone like Dai Ruosi would inevitably have an impact on her.
That middle-aged man who was the captain could not possibly be innocent; in fact, he was at least a madman.
However, the madman was strictly following Darius's orders and did not easily reveal his true identity.
Otherwise, after Chu Yang's repeated questioning, how could that guy not step forward himself?
Just as Chu Yang and his companions disappeared from the scene, somewhere deep in the dark ocean in the real world...
On the deck of a large, haphazardly drifting ship.
A woman who had been standing still and crying incessantly suddenly became disoriented.
Then she seemed to suddenly come to her senses, quickly picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground, and rushed over immediately, killing both of the thugs in front of her.
The strangest thing was that the two thugs seemed to have suddenly lost the power to resist, and they just stood there while the woman easily slashed their heads open.
Meanwhile, at the very bottom of the ship's cabin.
Deep within the ship's hold, hidden by numerous boxes, Darius, who was preparing to create even more madmen, also experienced a moment of mental confusion before suddenly regaining his senses.
"Enough people have died this time. It's time to bring all the survivors to their senses, otherwise things could get much worse."
And so, the accident, which should have become even more gruesome, disappeared without a trace.
"Mr. Darius, are we really going to have to cancel the plan? It's only less than a third complete!"
The captain, standing nearby, couldn't help but ponder Darius's thoughts.
All he got in return was a warning look from Darius, so he could only shut his mouth in frustration.
Meanwhile, the three of them once again entered the interior of the library.
Mr. Abdul's expression was very complex.
If you look closely, you'll notice a very faint hint of envy in his eyes.
There was a time when he and a few friends went on adventures together.
Unfortunately, his friends all betrayed the team along the way for various reasons.
As for the tacit understanding between Chu Yang and Miss Xiu, and their coincidental choice, he naturally felt very envious.
Such a partnership between the two is truly rare.
In short, no matter how much he disagreed with the other party's choice, the three of them had finally arrived at the ultimate zone of the 7th floor.
If it weren't for Chu Yang and the other person, he would never have been able to pass through the 7th floor. This was also the first time he had come here in all these years.
As soon as Chu Yang stepped into the library, he clearly sensed a large number of voices from the mysterious and forbidden side constantly ringing in his ears.
If these sounds weren't malicious, he probably would have been scared off by the pollution immediately.
At that point, he'll probably have no choice but to activate his Pure White Eyes to deal with it.
However, he would never easily use his trump card as a last resort.
Even now, using the Pure White Eyes only requires paying a very small price.
However, when personal comfort cannot be guaranteed, even the smallest cost cannot be easily paid.
As the information from the adults entered his mind, Chu Yang quickly showed a look of sudden realization.
"It turns out that starting from the 7th floor, those who clear the level will receive some kind of preferential treatment. This can be considered as the maze opening a back door for them."
This is probably the real reason why Mr. Abdul spent a lot of money to find someone to guide him through the 7th level of the maze.
The back door that the maze opens for those who succeed starting from the 7th floor is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
After clearing the 7th floor, the three of them arrived in different spaces.
Although the situation here looks no different from the previous library, this library is a private space for each individual.
Once you pass level 7, you will appear directly inside the library after level 7 on your next visit, without needing to go through levels 8 and 9.
If you want to go through these three stages again, that's possible.
However, this means that the small amount of intelligence rewards obtained from frequent completions will completely disappear, and will instead become accumulated reputation points.
This level of credibility can, to some extent, provide assistance to those attempting the challenges in subsequent stages.
"Hiss~"
"It seems this Emperor Roselle really is playing the same online game he used to play!"
Chu Yang's lips twitched involuntarily; everything here was so similar to the online games he had played in his previous life.
In addition, this accumulated reputation can also help Chu Yang set up a special scene that once appeared in history in the first three floors of the space.
In this scene, everything that happened back then will be reenacted.
This is definitely a welcome discovery for those who genuinely need to gather intelligence.
For many historians, this is also an alternative way to access hidden information in lost history books.
Actually, the last benefit is this unique personal space in the library.
Chu Yang discovered that, according to the automatic prompts, those who passed through the checkpoint could even bring their personal belongings here and store them.
"There's no need for a storage room. There are plenty of extraordinary abilities in real life that can hide items."
"However, if we're talking about absolute safety, this place is actually quite good."
"But the passageways in this maze cannot be unlocked."
"So if you want to enter here through a fixed door to put something down, you might actually be waiting for someone at the door."
No one participating in the maze can reach each other's private library through the same passageway door.
They could always wait at the gate leading into the maze on the outermost edge.
If someone is truly determined to kill the challengers, there are indeed many ways to do so.
Just as Chu Yang's thoughts were racing, he suddenly found a bill for his anonymous account on the table.
It was marked with an astonishing amount: £1800.
According to the Ferguson cryptic message recorded above, this bill must have been collected here by the labyrinth space after a merchant from somewhere recently perished. (End of Chapter)
