Chapter 53
Chapter 53 The “killer” is coming
Although it looks gloomy from the outside, the interior of the dark tower is exceptionally bright. Dozens of incandescent lamps are neatly arranged on the ceiling, reflecting the cold steel passage below.
In order to prevent someone from breaking out of prison, Lin Chi noticed that there was a camera within five meters of the prison’s passage. Infrared sensing devices and vibration detectors were installed inside. Even if a mouse ran out, it would trigger an alarm.
When Lin Chi came in front of the “detection net” composed of red light, the sensing device was turned off for a short time, and the light disappeared without a trace.
“Ha, is it because of this pass.” He looked at the “Dark Tower Customer ID Card” in his hand.
——With this pass, you can turn off the automatic detection device inside the Dark Tower. Presumably the criminals detained here must have tried their best to get this stuff.
Lin Chi led the girl through the shut-off optical network, and just after two steps out, the device started up again. At this moment, in the cell closest to him, an extremely angry roar came out:
“Give me what you have!”
Hearing this, Lin Chi stood in front of the cell and observed the scene inside with great interest.
The walls and cell doors inside the dark tower are made of silver alloy, which seems to be able to withstand the direct shooting of tank guns.
Above the prison door, a small window less than 0.5 meters wide was installed, which was divided into several pieces by a fence. An angry face appeared behind the window, and the face was painted with a hideous red tattoo, like a cut. Open the skin to expose the blood vessels.
“Oh? You want this?” Lin Chi picked up the ID card and shook it in front of the window.
The other party’s brown eyes were wide open, as if fire came out of his eyes, but unlike the ID card item introduction, this guy didn’t perform any “killing through the window” stunt, but kept hitting him from inside. The door looks stupid.
Lin Chi stared at the person for a few seconds, and didn’t see any text indicating special or hero-level NPCs. Realizing that the other party was just an “ordinary criminal”, he put away the ID card and smiled: “Goodbye.”
There was already a mentally unstable guy like Crazy Yiwen in the team, and Lin Chi didn’t want to hire an ordinary NPC who was also a lunatic. Of course, if it’s a special or hero-level NPC, it can be accepted even if it is crazy…
Lin Chi and the girl walked through the first floor of the dark tower together, observing the residents in the cell-this place is more like a mental hospital than a prison, filled with various “monsters and ghosts”, and the madness lingers in the circular corridor .
But…in the entire first floor, Lin Chi couldn’t find any interesting characters.
Many of the cells here are already empty, and the remaining part is also detaining “ordinary criminals.” Although they look fierce, they do not meet Lin Chi’s criteria for selecting talents this time.
“What about the special character?” He grumbled casually.
“I don’t know…” The girl hurriedly grasped the skirt corners: “I am here for the first time.”
“I didn’t mean to blame you.” Lin Chi smiled and touched the little girl’s head comfortably.
Judging from the cell that was half empty, this prison was supposed to contain many qualified criminals, but now they have all disappeared.
Although it is possible that they were all hired by players, Lin Chi didn’t think that on the second day of the game, someone would earn enough money to hire so many NPCs.
So, where did these criminals go?
Lin Chi thought about it as he walked up the stairs, and happened to meet a guard who was going downstairs, so he took out a hundred dollars and stuffed it into the opponent’s hand, and asked, “Where are the criminals here? Could they all be sold? Right?”
Because of Lin Chi’s high prestige value, his questioning process was also exceptionally smooth. The guard answered almost immediately:
“No, we only sold a few people…”
“Where did the other criminals go?” Lin Chi continued to ask.
“I remember that about three months ago, a weird man in a brown cloak came over. It was strange that the warden personally took that man to inspect the prison. When the man left, he took away many prisoners and said what he wanted. ‘Increase entertainment’. We don’t know what he is talking about…” The guard scratched his head.
“Oh, I see.” Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
——It sounds like the prisoner here was released by a guy wearing a cloak. Although the guard described a bit like a “Frankenstein”, Frankenstein has only entered this game for two days, and it should not be three months. Just appeared before…
What is the origin of this “cloak man” that the guard said? Could it be a special task NPC, or something else? What does this man in the cloak mean by “increasing entertainment”?
Realizing that not only did I fail to solve the problem, but more questions appeared. Lin Chi sighed and took the girl up to the second floor of the Dark Tower.
——The third full-band scan is coming. Now is not the time to “solve the mystery”. After you have killed the Frankenstein who threatens you the most, there is time to investigate the mystery in the game.
After turning around on the second floor of the Dark Tower, he still didn’t see any special and heroic NPCs. Like the first floor, the cells here were a lot vacant. It was obvious that many prisoners were taken away by the man in the cloak.
Lin Chi, who was full of question marks, stepped onto the third floor in a daze. The prisoners on this floor were even rarer, and there were only a few people left.
But this time, he finally found the “talent” he needed in a cell at the end of the corridor:
Different from ordinary prison cells, the interior of this cell is obviously larger, and it has been luxuriously decorated. It looks like the bedroom of a wealthy man’s house.
The house has all kinds of electrical appliances. The coffee table is full of flowers and snacks. There are a few Cuban cigars next to the ashtray. The most violent thing is that there is a blond woman lying on the double bed behind…
“Are you here to go to jail or on holiday?” Lin Chi smiled at the man sitting at the desk with his back turned to him.
“…”
The other party didn’t answer immediately, but turned his head in silence to meet Lin Chi’s eyes.
It was a gray-haired man with a tired face, his jacket looked a little shabby, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes. Life without the sky all the year round made his complexion as pale as an unknown girl, and with scarlet eyes, he looked a bit like a vampire.
As he turned his head, a red skull and text prompt popped out, marking the person’s identity:
“Executioner”, a hero-level character (boss-level), recruitable (tasks required to be completed).
“I’m going, how can I recruit a leader-level character?” Lin Chi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He was still wondering how Frankenstein recruited BOSS-level characters such as the mechanical ninja “Gray Fox”, and now this problem has finally been solved…
Some of the boss-level characters in this game are also recruitable!
Realizing that he was facing a BOSS who could be recruited, Lin Chi immediately became interested and asked straightforwardly: “Are you interested in joining my camp?”
The man called the executioner still did not speak, but shook his head with a tired face, looking like an image spokesperson who “feeled his body hollowed out”.
“Why is this role?” Lin Chi complained.
For him, this kind of boring gourd is a more difficult role to deal with than a mentally deranged lunatic. When the other party did not give him a task, Lin Chi had no idea what to do to recruit this person.
It seems that if you want to recruit this guy, you need to find other ways…
When Lin Chi was thinking about it, he only heard a scream coming from the direction of the corridor, which sounded like it came from one floor.
“Ok?”
Before he could speak, the executioner who had been silent finally spoke, his voice hoarse and languid, as if he had just woken up:
“It’s going to start.”
“What started?” Lin Chi stared at the man in the cell.
The executioner didn’t say much, but a warning text suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of Lin Chi’s sight:
——The prerequisite task has been completed, and the BOSS battle “killer” has been triggered!
The administrator of this dark tower is even more evil than the criminals inside. The regular entertainment activities here are to release all the prisoners and avoid the “killers” inside the enclosed building! Even the desperadoes in the dark tower shiver when facing the “killer”. Please note that the “killer” will give priority to the unseen faces.
“Damn, when did I complete the prerequisites?” Lin Chi vomited.
Even though he was quite critical of this unexpected BOSS battle, he opened his briefcase, took out the pistol and held it in his hand:
——It seems that my previous inference is correct. In this dangerous area, there is indeed a BOSS battle hidden!
As the BOSS battle was triggered, the door of the Dark Tower was still locked, the security measures inside the building were all closed, and the doors of all the cells began to open slowly.
The strange thing is that no prisoner left the cell, even the tattooed man who was the most lovable just now closed his mouth obediently!
“Are you interested in fighting with me?” Lin Chi looked at the executioner who was still sitting at the table.
“Not interested.” The other party’s answer was simple and rude.
“Okay…” Lin Chi did not continue to ask, but stared at the other side of the circular corridor vigilantly.
He could feel that the “killer” seemed to have arrived.
