As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 692 The Seed of Total Annihilation

The first floor of the great maze.

Milo woke up at the counter.

He looked around and, upon confirming that he had arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the oppression in his heart vanished instantly.

Of the seventy or so players on the sixth floor, more than sixty died and were resurrected here.

A large number of soldiers are stationed here. These guys are wearing golden armor with mechanical wires wrapped around the metal armor, which shows that the technology of the surface world is a "magical technology" area. The soldiers' combat strength is about the same as most players around level 50.

The girl in black stockings sat up, clutching her head. "My head hurts so much."

"Of course it hurts. You kept kowtowing and almost killed yourself." Milo glanced at her.

The girl in black stockings remembered what had just happened. After the Night Dragon on the sixth floor was inexplicably defeated, a strange thing appeared. Her detection ability was quite good, and her insight value was relatively high, exceeding 200.

“Something terrifying has appeared…”

When she tried to leave, she found the gate locked; she couldn't get out of the maze.

"what happened?"

"Oh dear~" Cairo, the receptionist in the lobby, came out from the inner room with a pipe in her mouth: "You're only just arriving? We can't go out from the lobby."

"Why?" Most players, including the girl in black stockings, began to panic.

“An unusual creature appeared on the first floor, and the entire first floor of the Great Maze was destroyed. There is an anomaly below the tenth floor. Starting from the sixth floor, the strength of all monsters has increased exponentially. The Kingdom’s army has come because of this, and the gate has been sealed off. Outsiders are absolutely not allowed to enter.”

In a normal scenario, the girl in black stockings would try to break out of the door, but this is still the Cairo world. As someone who has just reached level 80 and has witnessed the diversity of Cairo's creatures, she would rather wait for rescue on the first floor than cause trouble.

But what had just happened on the sixth floor had already instilled fear in the girl in black stockings.

The orphans planted an irreversible seed in everyone—a seed of pure fear and bewilderment—and there is no way to break this curse except by returning to Basel.

In a state of manic madness, the girl in black stockings took a cell phone out of her fanny pack.

"President... save me."

As expected, there was no signal, and the girl in black stockings was completely out of luck.

Milo knew that the person on the other end of the phone was probably "Shafa's Big Guild," called "Twin Guild." It was said that the guild leader, Shafa, was one of two sisters, but the younger sister had a teratoma, so they usually stayed together. The girl in black stockings and most of the players present were actually members of that guild.

In the current "Endless Corridor" environment, apart from the two largest guilds, there are only these guilds below level 99 messing around.

Among them, the "Twin Guild" and the "Host Club" are the leaders. These two are rivals for a strange reason: the "Host Club" cannot recruit female players, while 60% of the players in the "Twin Guild" are female. So, Soren of the "Host Club" targets Shafa and his group. The Four-Eyed Thugs' team consists of a group of ruthless people, and Soren Lee is a lunatic, making it impossible for the two sides to make peace.

"What happened on the sixth floor?"

A hoarse voice came from one of the soldiers who appeared to be an officer.

The players talked to him, but they didn't know the secrets of the orphan and the Night Dragon. As they made their own guesses, Milo stepped forward.

"That girl, named 'Olise,' cleared out all the monsters on the sixth floor."

He kept in mind the task Nanami had given him. As a health-conscious player, Milo didn't want to provoke someone who was above average.

Moreover, Nanami's displayed power far surpasses that of many famous players, including the girl in black stockings and Shafa, the guild leader of the "Twins Guild" to which most players belong.

No matter how the rankings are reshuffled in the "Endless Corridor," the top three players between levels 25 and 99 will always be Li Nuo, Soren, and Nanami.

And the difficulty of the maze will become terrifying because of these guys.

……

News of Olise's affair reached the fifth floor.

Because the sixth floor was contaminated, the National Knights, who were originally going to set off to solve the maze problem, temporarily stayed behind.

"That Olshey?"

"Yes... at least that's what the adventurers who resurrected from the sixth floor said."

"Specifically?"

"I was saying... that girl defeated the Night Dragon and stopped the strange thing that suddenly appeared on the sixth floor. She should be on her way to the seventh floor now."

The soldiers relayed intelligence.

Olise's father stood at the doorway, his ears twitching, biting his lip with pride. He had never imagined that his daughter possessed such immense potential.

The elven knight commander sat in front of the portal, a piece of bread between his teeth. He picked up a wine jug from the grass, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go to the seventh floor."

His soldiers were like meat grinders on the battlefield, and he was no exception. He had to go to the seventh floor to prevent that elf girl from stealing their military merits.

……

Seven layers. Lava zone.

Let's start with Adam's team.

When Lu Li ripped off the head of a snake demon, they had already defeated the boss on the seventh floor. Adam chose the weakest boss, so the reward wasn't very generous.

"Let's go to the eighth floor first, we can come back later."

Adam is also an archer, just like Xiao Wu. The difference is that Adam focuses on survival skills. He was tricked by someone and learned a lot of abilities that allow him to survive in another dimension.

His plan was to leave a "target" on each floor, go down to the next floor first, and once all the "targets" were in place, he would bring everyone back using his bow and arrow.

Ni Yuexing noticed that Adam was somewhat impatient.

"how?"

"I have a strange feeling."

The archer's intuition told him that something terrible had appeared on this level.

"move."

Urged on, Adam crushed the key and led Alexander and the others to the lower level.

Before leaving, Rococo glanced back at the lava area on the seventh floor. In fact, there were people watching her from a great distance. Li Nuo had already spotted Adam, but he wasn't in a hurry to deal with him.

"That... is gone."

Tom called to her gently.

"okay."

"Um... my name is Tom, the Tom from Tom and Jerry..."

Rococo didn't know how to start a conversation.

Tom's attempt to strike up a conversation fell silent. He lowered his head in disappointment, and Ni Yue slapped him on the back of the head: "Idiot, I'll teach you how to strike up a conversation when we get back."

"Big sister..." Tom looked at Ni Yuexing with tears of gratitude, but asked doubtfully, "But can you teach me?"

Ni Yuexing said proudly, "After all, I'm a woman who has given birth. This kind of young girl... is a piece of cake for me."

"Big sister... your expression is off."

"I'll hit you."

While we were chatting, the elevator had already descended to the eighth floor. The elevator operated inside a long, narrow stone pillar, and similar stone pillars were scattered throughout the eighth floor.

Eight layers of dense primeval forest, and in the distance there is a fortified village. From here, it seems that a biological civilization exists. The sky above is shrouded in strangely shaped rocks, blocking out the azure sky, and the world seems to have entered a realm of low-saturation colors.

It's not far to walk.

They saw a huge robot.

"Scrapped machinery?"

Ni Yuexing touched the rough surface of the robot, feeling somewhat lost. Each level of the maze was a new world, which made her feel... shocked, yet also troublesome.

But real trouble was just around the corner waiting for them.

A girl holding a long stick sits on a rock, behind her lies a destroyed village, with corpses piled up like small mountains.

Purple smoke billowed from the girl as she pulled a long stick from the ground and walked towards Adam and the others with a smile.

Adam, with his keenest insight, had already spotted the girl coming through the woods.

"Nanami?"

"Do you know each other?" Mr. Alexander asked.

But Adam raised his hand, blocking everyone.

"Let's go back to the seventh floor."

Something's wrong with Nanami. The "Reason of the Realm" is golden light, but the light emanating from Nanami is clearly the opposite of "Reason"—"Asura."

Just then, Alexander's mouth dropped open. He saw the figure reappear behind Nanami—a pair of sisters…

"Miss Safa..."

……

The ninth floor.

In the dark cave, a figure that looked exactly like Li Nuo opened its eyes.
