Excessive ferocity due to caution

For some reason, the two of them felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the smile on Zhao Yi's face.

"What do you want to do?"

Zhao Yi squinted his eyes and patiently guided him.

"I ask you, if your boss knew you were secretly involved in this human organ trafficking business, would he let you off the hook?"

Old Xu and Old Wang fell silent upon hearing this.

The answer is self-evident.

Although the organization did not have a rule against cutting off the internal organs of corpses, it absolutely forbade these masked people to have any contact with the outside world!

Once discovered... they'll vanish from the face of the earth!

"So... even if you take all these human organs to the black market and find sellers... and make hundreds of millions, how will you spend it?"

The two remained silent.

After a long while, one of them said:

"Once we leave here, we'll naturally be able to spend our money."

Zhao Yi kicked the headless corpse in the buttocks, and the doctor's body rolled to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Then Zhao Yi sat down on the operating table on her own.

"Leave here?"

Are you guys really stupid or just pretending?

"The person behind the scenes cut off your contact with the outside world and changed your identities. Don't you have any idea why?"

"Judging by your appearance, being able to secretly contact people outside to help sell human organs, you must have been working for the mastermind for quite some time now... Have you heard of anyone leaving here alive?"

The two remained silent, cold sweat slowly seeping from their temples and dripping down their hair.

Sometimes it's not that people can't think of that place, but that they don't want to think about the bad things.

The unknown can sometimes bring more despair and fear.

If they had known from the beginning that they were going to die, they might have been able to accept it.

but now……

They didn't know if they would die.

With hope of survival comes a greater fear of death!

"If you help me out, you can leave here with a large sum of money and live a life of boundless freedom."

"If it doesn't work out... I won't drag you down with me."

"After all... your boss has a reason to kill you, but I don't."

The atmosphere in the small room was subtle.

The smell of blood mixed with the odor of dust was rather unpleasant.

Just like the complex and unpleasant expressions on their faces.

After a long period of thought, Old Xu gritted his teeth and said:

"OK."

"We can help you...but only within our capabilities!"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

"I won't make things difficult for you."

"After all, we're sharing a bed now."

"Next, I need to understand two things."

"First, who is behind the abalone game?"

"Second, what's the next game, and how difficult is it?"

Zhao's goal was clear.

One main quest and one side quest.

He can't be the only one to survive this game. If Luo Qili dies, he will enter the wrong timeline and end up with the wrong ending!

Old Wang thought about it seriously for a moment.

"We don't know who's behind the Abalone Game... but we've heard that he personally greets the survivors after each third game and gives them a precious gift."

"If you want to see him, you'll have to wait until after the third game."

Old Xu added:

"The next game is called 'Prisoner's Maze'!"

"The first player to survive the game will be sent into a giant underground labyrinth."

"There, they will carry a tattered map and proceed from the outer perimeter of the underground labyrinth towards its center!"

"Five minutes after the player enters the maze, the 'Hunter' will also enter from the outer perimeter!"

"They will relentlessly hunt down the players until... all of them are dead!"

Zhao Yi asked curiously upon hearing this:

"Hunters? Are they human?"

Old Xu shook his head.

"It is a kind of 'bloody weapon' created by humans."

"We don't know much about it, except that it seems to be some kind of X-series product, from a mysterious organization."

"This weapon is said to use a meme from a mysterious lizard-like species, which was injected into the human body."

"Those injected with this substance develop a deep hatred for humanoid beings; their bodies become stronger, and their injuries heal rapidly..."

"The scariest thing is... after they're killed, they revive within 5 minutes, and become even stronger than before!"

"These bloody weapons are usually kept in nitrogen chambers and are only released on special occasions."

"Only when they re-enter the nitrogen chamber will their evolved state slowly fade away at low temperatures, returning to their initial state."

Upon hearing this, a particular figure immediately came to Zhao Yi's mind.

—A creature that should not exist in the world.

"Is it possible to obtain detailed information about them?"

Old Wang hesitated for a moment.

"It's difficult."

"The reason we've been able to communicate with the outside world and keep it a secret from our superiors is because there's a very skilled hacker named Lao Wu in the monitoring room, and he's one of our people!"

"He can help get information on those bloody weapons."

After saying that, Lao Wang handed a communicator directly to Zhao Yi.

"Stay in this small room and don't wander around. He'll send you the information later..."

"You can also contact him through this communicator."

"But don't disturb him between 9 and 11 o'clock, as the monitoring room will be conducting strict checks during that time!"

Zhao Yi agreed.

Seeing that it was almost time, one of them took charge of handling the fresh organs, while the other took charge of handling the corpse. After they left, they locked the door and left Zhao Yi with a spare key.

"There is food and water in the storage box."

"If you absolutely must go out, tell Lao Wu in advance, and he will find a way to make the surveillance footage avoid showing you."

The two gave each other some final instructions before leaving the secret room.

After they left, Zhao Yi sat on the operating table, opened the system panel, and sent a message to Luo Qili, sending her the content of the next game.

Luo Qili replied that they were currently resting in separate rooms and the second game would begin tomorrow.

After finishing his business, Zhao Yi contacted Lao Wu in the monitoring room again.

In addition to the information sent by Lao Wu, Zhao Yi also asked Lao Wu if he could sneak into the Prisoner's Maze.

Old Wu replied quickly.

It is a route and a point in time.

There are no cameras in the maze.

"Follow the route and time points I give you, you can enter the maze."

"But do not approach the very center. Your identity has been determined to be dead. If you go near there... you will be executed!"

Zhao Yi was immediately intrigued by the message Lao Wu shared with him.

In the second game's maze... there weren't any security cameras?

That doesn't make sense...

Whether the person behind it is a psychopath who enjoys watching their own kind kill each other and die in despair, or a psychopath who uses the game to select or purify something... shouldn't we observe and compare more?

Why didn't he install cameras? Was it because he had superhuman vision, or did he have some other purpose?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi considered another possibility.

Is it...

P.S.: Time to grab a bite and get back to writing. Good luck everyone, keep up the good work and study!

It's still midnight today!
