Chapter 2289: Chapter 2289: Endless Repetition
"Isn’t the one-third ga supposed to be a ga?" Buzz Cut looked despairingly at the door on the opposite wall. "If it’s a ga, it should explain how it works. What does it an to lock us in here? Are they going to starve us all to death?"
Everyone fell silent for a mont.
"Who among you is entering the one-third ga for the second ti?" Xu Huo asked.
"I think this is my second ti." Buzz Cut said weakly. "Last ti I lost my past mories in the ga. I thought if I behaved, I wouldn’t enter again. But I ended up here again... Why? Many people who suffered mory loss have settled in Bu Liu City without any problem. Why does nothing happen to them!"
"You think you’re unlucky? I’m even more unlucky, okay!" A player with a silk scarf around her neck said. "I didn’t trigger any ga and ended up here. There was no ga hint that you talked about. Clearly, I’m different from you, just directly thrown into a high difficulty!"
Xu Huo turned to look at the young woman, "You are a Super Evolver."
The young woman instinctively wanted to deny it, but eting his gaze changed her mind instantly. "There’s nothing to hide. I am a Super Evolver, but my body has only evolved so special abilities, unrelated to Space-Ti Power. I have no clue about this place."
Xu Huo nodded, then looked at the remaining three, "Has anyone won the previous ga?"
"Are you interrogating us?" A middle-aged man with a scholarly deanor spoke.
"Misunderstanding," Xu Huo said. "I’m just thinking, since this ga has no hints, there must be sothing special about it. To be honest, this is my second ti entering the one-third ga. Last ti when I exited, the ga notified
that I won."
The middle-aged man then seriously scrutinized him. "So that’s how it is. I’m Ye Jiwen. How long after you ca out did you enter the second ga?"
"Less than two days," Xu Huo answered, "Xu Zhi."
Ye Jiwen sighed. " too."
He then asked the remaining two, discovering like the silk-scarfed player Zhan Ling, neither had ever entered the one-third ga, and both were not Super Evolvers.
"From an identity perspective, the second ga absorbs players without any particular pattern," Ye Jiwen said. "Besides us who won the first ga having to enter, those who lost or never played could also enter here."
This wasn’t good news, as more players ant more chances to extract useful clues through different thods, but they were all clues from the first ga. Since the trigger for the second ga ignored the conditions of the first, it seed almost completely random, suggesting no one had survived the second ga!
The attendees fell silent, until Buzz Cut Feng Mao finally said: "We’ve walked through almost fifty rooms already. Should we keep going? There aren’t many people as we go further. Can we go back if we walk too far?"
"There’s nothing else to do; might as well investigate further." Ye Jiwen said. "What if the valuable clues are in rooms ahead?"
Xu Huo also wanted to continue.
As other players had guessed, these rooms were indeed full of Ti Force, but what’s special was the suspended corpse. After walking through so many rooms, each corpse exhibited subtle differences in ti flow. Adjacent rooms might not show it clearly, but across several rooms, the differences were easily visible.
But that’s the limit. He tried to manipulate the Ti Force on the corpse, but nothing happened. Additionally, due to the room’s enclosure, he couldn’t detect Ti Force from other spaces, so this looked like a place entirely sealed off.
Naturally, it couldn’t be completely without exit; otherwise, just rooms would suffice without the corpse. Judging from its clothing and so body features, it wasn’t a local player from Bu Liu City. It was an Outer Zone player, hung here as a display. Whether the corpse had sothing special or represented a unique aning remained unknown.
The rooms were all alike, the only difference being the corpse. So they could only examine more corpses.
"While we still have the energy, let’s move through so more rooms." Zhan Ling said.
The remaining two naturally agreed.
So a group of six proceeded from one room to the next.
On the way, they encountered players gathered in a room, presumably ones who had entered not long ago like them, both sides shrouded in a vague sense of despondency.
After so ti, they ran into three players who had walked through a thousand rooms and returned.
Through the exchange, Xu Huo’s group learned that the later rooms were still the sa, and as they ventured further, the corpse gradually weathered—first only skin remained, then only bones.
"Perhaps if we go even further, the bones will crumble too," one person said with a lack of spirit.
"Should we still go?" Feng Mao reconsidered.
Ye Jiwen hesitated. "Countless rooms are similar, and there’s no outco. It’s hard to say if these rooms have an end, the only special one might be the first room."
"The ga’s difficulty differs from previous instances, even crossing dinsions. Space-Ti Force can be etched into props, perpetual repetition isn’t a hard thing," Zhan Ling said.
Xu Huo didn’t say much more, "Well then, I’ll continue forward."
"Alone?" Ye Jiwen tried to stop him. "Better stay together for mutual support."
"The only risk here might be starving," Xu Huo smiled.
"You can still smile," Feng Mao admired. "Brother, your mindset’s really impressive."
All their timing tools were stalled now, relying only on feeling to roughly judge ti. Walking through rooms and checking corpses took about five hours, and according to other players, these rooms seed to refresh every twelve hours, with the next refresh in around two hours.
Despite asking extensively about the refresh situation, not having experienced it, they couldn’t help worrying about problems occurring during it, and it seed traveling together was much better than walking alone.
"Since the only proof of room restoration is the hanging corpse, it ans it doesn’t affect other living players. Otherwise, refreshing every twelve hours, players wouldn’t stay longer than half a month."
Xu Huo waved to the others, heading to the next room.
When the door closed, he didn’t waste ti on the corpse but used Spatial Power to swiftly open the room and pass through.
