I have a city in another world

Chapter 6986 Dilemma and Tearing Off the Pretense

Inside the sealed room, a mechanical puppet operates, killing two intruders.

One of the explorers who had previously humiliated Olivia was found with seven short spears piercing his skull, hanging on the wall. One of the spears pierced his head right through his nose, making it look as if he had grown an exaggeratedly long nose.

Another explorer had more than half of his head smashed open, and his bones were also shattered into many pieces.

The other two explorers were filled with terror, gripping their weapons tightly.

Opposite them was a strangely shaped thing, which looked like a human but had six long, spider-like legs.

The long legs end in hooks, and the palms have wheels, allowing it to move quickly on any surface.

Its body is like a jar with many holes from which short spears are shot.

Six arms are distributed around the jar, with the ends shaped like lancets.

There are many spikes on the arm, covered with mottled rust marks, yet it seems as if this treatment was intentional on the surface, because there is no corrosion at the center of the spikes.

Designers should be aware that time causes corrosion, and it is also one of the most deadly toxins.

Whether intentional or not, there are many repair rivet marks on the surface of this jar.

It seemed to be a puppet pieced together from various scraps, giving it a rather weak impression.

The facts prove that this seemingly dilapidated iron can is actually incredibly terrifying.

The two explorers who were still alive had eyes filled with despair.

They yearned for the opportunities within the secret chamber, yet they also knew of the potential risks, and still ventured in without hesitation.

Fortune is sought in danger, but it can also be lost in danger; they are the unlucky ones who lost their gamble.

The metal can blocked their way, preventing them from escaping and trapping them in the passageway of the secret room.

To enter the secret room, one is blocked by another door, and solving the puzzle will take some time.

However, this metal can doesn't give anyone time; unless they remain completely still, any action will provoke an attack.

The two injured explorers were extremely anxious. They wanted to escape this place, make thorough preparations, and then return, but they were unable to get around the jar to leave the secret chamber.

The earlier explosion was caused by explorers using impact bombs in an attempt to destroy the golem's energy circuits.

Under normal circumstances, a bomb can easily disable a puppet, rendering it unable to function properly.

Explorers will take advantage of this opportunity to quickly finish off the mechanical golem, destroying or dismantling it.

No one expected that there would be three energy circuits inside this damned iron can.

After one set is destroyed, the second set immediately starts operating, then it is destroyed again, and as a result, the third set starts operating.

This bizarre design caused these adventurers in the secret realm to suffer greatly, with two of them being killed on the spot.

Just as the two explorers were at their wits' end, they suddenly heard footsteps and then saw a figure appear at the door.

The alien female stall owner who was the first to discover the secret room and was almost killed by them actually appeared in the secret room.

Although it was unclear how the other person had broken free of their restraints, it was known that at this moment, she was the only hope to help them escape their predicament.

"Do you have any impact bombs? If so, throw them out quickly, or you'll be killed by this puppet!"

The leader of the group of explorers immediately called out to Olivia, as if concerned for her safety.

An urgent tone of voice, combined with the covert use of bewitching magic, can easily lead people to obey without their knowledge.

By the time you finish the task and realize something is wrong, it's already too late.

Olivia was affected in a daze and instinctively reached for the impact bomb.

At that moment, her eyes were fixed on the dangerous metal canister, oblivious to the two explorers who posed a greater threat to her. Just as she was about to activate it, footsteps approached from behind, barely audible, yet enough to jol Olivia awake from her controlled state.

Looking at the item in her hand, and then at the explorer leader with a ferocious expression and an expectant look, Olivia's heart trembled.

This group of greedy and cruel people had just wanted Olivia to kill them so they could forcibly seize the secret room she had discovered.

I was completely bewitched to want to save these bastards. Did I expect them to have a change of heart and thank me after being rescued?
They would probably reveal their ugly side immediately, controlling or even killing Olivia.

Sensing something was wrong, Olivia instinctively stepped back, looking at the two explorers with a wary expression.

"Damn bastard..."

The leader of the explorers cursed inwardly, never expecting that this little wizard apprentice would break free from mind control at the crucial moment.

They were just a hair's breadth away from being able to throw the impact bomb and escape the danger.

Then, they would try to destroy the metal canister and take control of the secret room.

But at this moment, all plans fell through.

The leader of the explorers, unwilling to give up, was about to cast his spell again when he saw the alien girl warily back away.

The art of bewitching has certain conditions for success; if one is on guard, the chances of success will drop sharply.

Not to mention that at this moment, the leader of the explorers was in extremely poor condition, with his mental energy almost completely depleted.

My vision blurred, and I felt like I could faint at any moment.

The leader of the explorers knew very well that he was in a very dangerous situation and had to escape from this place as soon as possible.

If we hesitate any longer, we might really die here.

"Help me. As long as I leave this place, I will immediately leave the secret realm and leave this secret room for you to enjoy alone."

If you need help, I can also provide assistance; you just need to split the profits proportionally.

Without my help, you would not be able to guard this secret room at all, and in the end you would be devoured without even leaving a bone.

If you don't trust me, we can sign a rules-based contract, overseen by the Creator, and neither of us will dare to break it!

In order to persuade Olivia, the leader of the explorers had no choice but to use threats and inducements to try to convince the alien apprentice in front of him to cooperate.

Little did they know that at this moment, the alien girl was extremely wary and did not believe the adventurer leader's promises at all.

On the contrary, they firmly believe that the more friendly the other party is and the more benefits they offer, the more it proves that they have ulterior motives.

When dealing with other races, they demand ten or even a hundred times the return for every benefit they receive.

When there is no need, they are too lazy to even pretend, and they do not treat the lower-class aliens as human beings at all.

Despite the explorer leader's best efforts, Olivia remained unmoved, her expression growing increasingly wary.

Another explorer, leaning against the corner of the wall with a hole in his abdomen, could no longer contain his emotions.

If this continues, he will surely die here.

Seeing the wary alien girl, the explorer's anger erupted, and he roared and cursed at the top of his lungs: "You damned alien bastard, hurry up and find a way to repel the mechanical puppets, otherwise once I leave here, I will definitely deal with you in the most cruel way."

I want you to suffer every single moment of agony, to regret ever being born.

Seeing the wounded explorer with a ferocious expression and undisguised malice, Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party's behavior gave her a reason to persist, even if it meant death, she would never compromise.

Seeing this, the leader of the explorers could only sigh and take out an alchemical bomb from his backpack.

"If you don't save me, I'll destroy this secret chamber, we'll all perish together, and I'll let other explorers know about this place!"
