Life Dungeon Game

That secret passage must be highly concealed!

He took a deep breath and began to carefully examine the entire central control room.

He quickly calmed down because he had already searched the entire central control room when he was looking for the central processor. Since he hadn't found it then, the secret passage must be very well hidden.

Unless he uses HyperMemory to search, but that would consume too much energy.

Is there a faster way?

Since this secret passage is hidden so well, the tomb keeper would definitely have marked it in order to get out.

He Ao didn't see any obvious markers when he was searching.

This means that the gravedigger may have used a special mark that only he could recognize.

What kind of mark can only be seen by him...?

He paused for a moment, then looked at the crystal ball in his hand.

Corpses.

The corpses that can be controlled can only be seen by those who have the ability to control them.

In that instant, He Ao's consciousness entered the crystal ball. He activated the crystal ball with all his might, and the gray-white field of vision rapidly expanded, sweeping over the giant wolf lying on the ground, and over the cold chairs and cabinets.

over there!

He Ao moved swiftly and walked to a corner on the left.

There were several chairs lying haphazardly on the ground in this corner. At first, He Ao didn't pay attention to these chairs because there were chairs lying haphazardly all over the place, and there were many skeletons around, which looked like people struggling before they died.

But now he only thinks that the person who arranged these chairs is very clever.

In his perception, directly above these haphazardly placed chairs, behind a wall about three meters off the ground, was the carcass of a small animal, which appeared to be a small squirrel.

The remains indicate that there is a space behind the wall, which is the 'mark' left by the gravedigger.

Once, someone built a ladder here using chairs and climbed into the space behind that wall, but to prevent others from discovering the space,

They knocked over all the chairs around them to create a chaotic scene, and then knocked over the ladder after entering the space.

More than a hundred years have passed, and the chaotic state of this place, like other places, has concealed all traces of him.

He Ao naturally didn't need a ladder; he activated his super memory and carefully examined every corner.

Then, at about two meters high along the edge of the wall, he found a tiny crack. Next to the crack, there was a very shallow mark, as if it had been pressed by a hand. The mark was so faint that He Ao would not have noticed it at all if he hadn't been using his super memory.

He reached his hand to the gap, placed it on the handprint, and pressed it hard, but there was no reaction.

He pondered for a moment, then channeled his 'qi' into his palm.

click -

With a soft click, a monitor popped out of the wall. This monitor was similar to the one at the main entrance, but had far fewer functions.

He Ao tried to authenticate as an administrator and succeeded. It seems that this monitor and the monitor at the front door are connected to the same local area network.

However, this monitor cannot modify the administrator authentication method; it seems that only the monitor at the main entrance has this permission.

The monitor's door also uses a human verification mode; He Ao switched modes and verified his identity.

As He Ao verified his identity, a circular metal door about 1.2 to 1.3 meters in diameter opened above his head, revealing a long and narrow passage with a series of ascending stairs leading to an unknown destination.

The entire passage was dark and dark, with no lights.

At the entrance to the passage, the carcass of a small squirrel with entangled wounds lay there.

He felt that the squirrel looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that this was the little squirrel that had been entangled in a fruit tree when he first hunted the monitor lizard.

This squirrel was placed here by the gravedigger as a marker, which means that the gravedigger once passed by the place where Heo hunted the monitor lizard, and most likely also saw the barbecue grill left by Heo. Perhaps he also saw Heo's figure from afar through some controlled puppet.

So when He Ao tricked him into guessing why he was there, he started to have all sorts of wild thoughts so quickly.

Because he may have traveled a distance from Heo and knew that Heo's initial goal also seemed to be the tower.

However, He Ao is not sure if everyone can see the tower from 800 kilometers away.

After all, this planet is only 1,000 kilometers in diameter. If you draw a circle with a radius of 800 kilometers, the surface area of ​​this circle is almost 2 million square kilometers, which is almost two-thirds of the ruins. If everyone can see the tower from that distance, then the research institute cannot possibly have left no records.

This was actually one of the reasons why He Ao suspected 'Liu Nan' at the time, because when He Ao said he could see the tower, 'Liu Nan' didn't suspect anything at all.

Perhaps for her, being able to see the tower was something she should take for granted.

If only special individuals like Heo can see the tower from that distance, while others, such as the tomb keeper, cannot, then...

It's even possible that the tomb keeper himself couldn't find the tower, but perhaps for some reason, he followed the trail left by Heo from a distance and thus found the tower.

However, after much thought, the only reason He Ao could think of for being followed by the tomb keeper was probably that before entering the ruins, the sophist and the tomb keeper had a dispute, and He Ao happened to look over, which caused the tomb keeper to take his anger out on He Ao. After discovering He Ao's trail in the ruins, the tomb keeper secretly followed him.

After all, he possesses a C-grade extraordinary item. If He Ao were truly just an ordinary D-grade, killing He Ao and turning him into a puppet would be easy.

In the main world, he is bound by rules, but it's different in the ruins.

if so,

He looked at the tomb keeper beside him, who had been controlled as a puppet.

So it wasn't that the tomb keeper was lucky to find the tower and unlucky to encounter He'ao, but rather that he found the tower because he met He'ao, and then He'ao bumped into him inside the tower, ultimately giving He'ao a big gift.

The cause and effect are intertwined.

He leaped into the passage, and the tomb keeper puppet followed, closing the metal door behind it.

The monitors protruding from the wall slowly retracted, and the entire central control room returned to silence.

After a while, a soft sound came from the darkness, from behind the metal door with the disc that He Ao had not opened.

There seemed to be something gently knocking on the door from behind it.

dong dong dong-

The crisp sound echoed in the silent, dark central control room.

The ruins are finished. We'll wrap things up tomorrow and then start the new dungeon.

He Ao was unaware of what had happened in the central control room after he left. At this moment, he was climbing the dark, deep staircase, with the tomb guardian puppet following behind him.

He had been walking for a long time, and even stopped twice to roast meat. At this moment, his dantian had recovered two strands of qi.

In this pitch-black environment, time seemed to have stood still.

The stairs don't go up vertically, but rather spiral upwards little by little.

He felt that he had walked nearly ten kilometers vertically upwards, but he had not yet reached the top.

There was an elevator next to the spiral staircase, but it seemed to be malfunctioning and couldn't be turned on, so He Ao had to walk up the stairs.

If it weren't for the fact that Heo makes a mark every so often, and that he hasn't yet encountered any of his own marks, Heo would have thought he had fallen into some kind of infinitely looping staircase.

The staircase doesn't loop; it's just too long.

Because the environment was completely unfamiliar, He Ao did not walk very fast, and often had to stop to check if there was any danger around him.

Finally, when the countdown in his hand reached its final three hours, Heo reached the end of the stairs.

There is still a metal door here, but it is no longer silver; it is now jet black.

There was still a black monitor in front of the door. He turned on the monitor, and the data on this monitor seemed to be interconnected with the data on the monitor at the entrance. The authentication mode had been changed to authorized authentication.

As He Ao operated the monitor, a vague sense arose in his mind: somewhere directly in front of him was a safe zone where he could safely return.

Sure enough, the tower was not within the safe zone.

He Ao placed his hand on the monitor to verify his identity.

The pitch-black metal door slowly opened, but only a crack. He Ao controlled the tomb guardian puppet to rush out, and then quickly closed the metal door.

He then focused his main attention on the gravedigger puppet.

Behind the metal door was still a long staircase, but these steps were no longer spiral, but vertical.

He Ao manipulated the tomb guardian puppet to raise its head, and not far away, at what seemed to be the exit, some light could be faintly seen.

The tomb-guarding puppet climbed the towering stairs step by step, leading from the dark passageway to the place bathed in light.

He Ao hadn't seen sunlight for far too long. Since entering the tower, he had spent most of his time relying on his own eyesight to grope his way in the dark. In places that were completely dark and had no light sources, he even had to use a flashlight for illumination.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable under the bright light.

He manipulated the gravedigger puppet to pause for a moment before the last step illuminated by light, and then slowly stepped onto it.

The steps illuminated by the sunlight were short, and soon the gravedigger puppet reached the end.

Then the gravedigger puppet froze in place.

The metal door slowly opened, and He Ao stepped out from behind it.

The golden sunlight spread across the steps, gradually illuminating his legs, his chest, and his blood-stained cheeks.

阶

At the end of the stairs was a platform about three meters square. He Ao stood on this platform and looked out.

An endless sea of ​​clouds stretched out beneath his feet, and dim stars draped over his shoulders.

Three golden suns rose from the edge of the sky, bathing the endless sea of ​​clouds in a dazzling golden hue.

He Ao's calculations were correct; he had indeed walked ten kilometers vertically and was now above the sea of ​​clouds, at the edge of the troposphere.

The giant octopus guarding the outside did not discover the passage.

The air here was already very thin, and after only a short while, He Ao felt a significant lack of oxygen.

Inside the tower, as the stairs rise, the air gradually thins, but the oxygen content remains much higher than outside, creating a pressure difference between the two.

In addition to lack of oxygen, He Ao also felt a noticeable tinnitus, which was caused by the air pressure inside his body being higher than outside, meaning his body was 'leaking air'.

He Ao squatted down and looked at his feet. There were some kind of rolling marks on the platform, similar to the shape of the tomb keeper.

The gravedigger must have controlled some kind of powerful flying beast, carried him to this height, and then dropped him onto this platform.
