Chapter 523 The Skeleton in Room 102

As someone who entered the game hundreds of years earlier than Liu Nian, she knew far more about the Cycle than Liu Nian, because she had also explored this place and knew many of its rules.

For example, she knew that the ship had eighteen decks, with the bottom deck being the most dangerous area of the entire ship.

The second floor houses a large library, a time observation room, and a memory archive, all containing copies of cyberpunk character biographies.

The third level is the Trial of Reincarnation area, where the people on the ship undergo the trials of reincarnation.

Floors four through ten are passenger cabins, with 999 rooms on each floor.

Floors 11 through 17 were all destroyed... No, perhaps some rooms on the 17th floor remain.

The eighteenth floor was completely shrouded in darkness.

As for the uppermost deck area and the captain's cabin, Gamir didn't know the specifics, because she had no way to cross the dark area of the eighteenth floor to reach the deck.

As for the dangers inside the cabin, they are nothing more than: time echoes of some adventurers caused by time distortion, active darkness in the corridor, assimilated individuals and prisoners in some rooms, and the occasional "sound".

As for danger, there's really nothing to it. The main problem is that time is very unstable here. If you don't come out of the same room, even if you live next door, it's hard to run into each other because you're not on the same timeline.

But this wasn't difficult for Gamir, because she knew she could find the timeline of human activity by anchoring the wells.

As for the disordered timeline, it will return to normal after you leave here and return to the Cyber Continent.

Jamil initially explored the ship because she had suspected that all the players pulled into Cyber Hell might actually be in one of the rooms on the ship, but later discovered that this was not the case.

At this moment, her body emitted a faint white light, constantly repelling the darkness that stubbornly tried to cling to her skin.

Gamir knew that these eerie darknesses were actually alive, formed from fragments of data of adventurers who had long since died in cyber hell.

As she walked down the corridor, her footsteps echoed through the empty space.

"Let's go check out the third floor first."

Listen carefully for a while, then follow the footsteps to the ladder of guidance.

Although the staircase extends upwards, as long as you follow the footsteps to find it, no matter which floor you enter from, you will eventually appear on the third floor.

That is, the cycle of trials.

Without hesitation, Gamir stepped forward.

Soon, she pushed open the door.

What came into view was a huge circular hall, and in the center of the hall was a hundred-meter-long table. Hundreds of high-backed chairs were neatly arranged on both sides of the table, and most of them were occupied by people slumped over, all of whom were unconscious.

Gamir's gaze swept across the long table, finally settling on the chair closest to the head of the table.

The chair was empty.

Her brows furrowed.

"Mika escaped?"

She remembered the player sitting in that chair—the level 999 Void Assassin.

He had been slumbering in the cycle of reincarnation for countless years; he was still there when Gamir last visited. Now, he was gone.

"Interesting." Gamir's lips curled up slightly. "It's quite rare to see someone manage to escape after all these years."

However, Gamir didn't care too much; finding Liu Nian was the priority.

On this ship, you can't find anyone by walking. The timeline is off, causing you to start from the same room and walk in the same direction, but each time you'll end up in a different place. Sometimes going down from the sixth floor will take you to the fourth floor, sometimes to the seventh floor, and sometimes you'll even be teleported to the ruins of the seventeenth floor.

But there is one way to locate it—an anchor well.

Anchor wells are distributed throughout key nodes of the ship's cabins. They act like the ship's nerve center, recording the activity trajectory of every timeline. As long as human consciousness is active on the ship, the anchor wells can detect it.

Coincidentally, there was one at the far end of this room.

-------------

Reincarnation, fourth floor, room 112.

Although Liu Nian didn't know how to find Gamir, he wasn't in a hurry at all, because he was sure Gamir would come to him on his own initiative.

However, Liu Nian didn't want to just wait around. He hadn't explored the ship much before because he was too weak, but now he could give it a try.

The real body continued to sleep in the room, leaving behind important items such as the Heart of Deception and the Heart of Truth. Liu Nian's body of deception then stepped into the corridor.

The corridor was pitch black. The thick darkness surged in from all directions like a tide, making him feel suffocated for a moment.

But in reality, this is just psychological pressure; his inherent attributes are not affected in any way.

Liu Nian walked along the corridor. His footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. His eyes swept over the messy doors on both sides: 568, 142, 318... Every door was tightly closed, and the room numbers on the doors were completely different from before.

Wait a minute, this looks like...

Number 102?!

He remembers this room.

The last time he came here, he heard a lot of sounds at the door of this room—screams, cries, whispers, and a rustling sound like something crawling.

But now, the room is very quiet.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Nian reached out and touched the door.

The door was unlocked, and with his movement, the hinges made a jarring creak that was particularly clear in the silent corridor.

Unlike his room, this room was dark, but otherwise the layout was exactly the same as his room number 112.

A bed, a table, and a chair. But the air was thick with a pungent, putrid stench, as if something had been rotting for a long time.

Liu Nian's gaze fell on the corner of the room.

In the darkness, a figure sat with his back to him.

Liu Nian frowned. Just as he took a step in, he suddenly noticed that the darkness behind him seemed to have found something delicious and pounced on the figure!

But at that moment, the figure suddenly stood up!

wrong!

Its body remained in the seat, but the skeleton inside it stood up, detached from the flesh!

As it moved, the muscles that had lost their skeletal support fell off piece by piece to the ground, making squelching sounds, turning into a pool of dark green pus.

In the blink of an eye, only a complete skeleton remained standing in place.

The skeleton turned around, seemingly looking at Liu Nian.

Liu Nian's muscles tensed up involuntarily.

This thing... is most likely not an undead!

There was no ghostly fire in its eye sockets... it was a... ma, se, k?

Yes, it's like static on a television screen...

This art style... is completely different from everything Liu Nian saw in Cyber Hell!

Not only that, the skeleton soon began to stutter, its movements becoming inconsistent, like a movie disc skipping...

Without seeing it move, it suddenly appeared in front of Liu Nian.

This speed is definitely faster than teleportation, it's as if a frame of time has just been deleted!

Liu Nian instinctively raised his fist and slammed it into the skull's head.

The Starbreaker gauntlets exploded with a blinding burst of light.
