Chapter 408 The Second Passage
Okra knew that he had failed in the challenge.

But she was not convinced.

Afterwards, she found Luo Xi immediately and raised her questions in a slightly questioning tone.

"Has anyone cleared the level?"

"No."

"Then what's the point of doing this? Are you making fun of us? Or maybe even you haven't really completed that scene yourself." Qiu Kui said what she wanted to say bluntly.

She believes that Luo Xi is creating a false image of a personal hero in this way, thereby subtly inducing others to form an almost superstitious personal worship of him.

"Do you think so?" Luo Xi was not angry because of being questioned, but asked calmly.

"Perhaps this is the truth." Qiu Kui also responded sharply at this moment. She didn't want to endure it any longer.

Admittedly, she knew that Luo Xi was extremely capable, but perhaps he was using this method to create an image of a 'savior' and deceive people like Lu Ting who had lost their memories into working for him.

Because up to now, Luo Xi has not explained his "plan" in detail.

How to break the day of confinement.

He just kept giving orders and doing things that seemed incredible to Qiu Kui and that might have no meaning at all.

It's like a big scam.

Of course, the main reason why Qiu Kui still distrusts Luo Xi is that she discovered a secret a few days ago.

A certain card used by Luo Xi.

Qiu Kui possesses the unique ability of [Shadow], which allows him to obtain the 'vision' and 'hearing' of a shadow within a certain range and time. This is his main ability to monitor other people through his shadow.

Of course she had secretly monitored Luo Xi and discovered this secret.

One of the cards Luo Xi used was called [Lies].

Since the other party's ability is [Lies], it is only natural for Luo Xi to use lies to win over others.

Through [lies] and her own understanding, Qiu Kui slowly imagined the true face of Luo Xi. She felt that she had already caught this liar.

[Liar] or [Cheat] must be Luo Xi's career card.

Qiu Kui felt that she had seen through the other party.

Facing the confident woman at this moment, Luo Xi's reaction was still very calm. He did not forcefully defend himself as Qiu Kui had imagined, nor did he get angry out of shame.

The other party just thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Come with me."

"I'm looking forward to how you will explain this." Qiu Kui was not afraid at all. She had secretly controlled Luo Xi's shadow. Even if the other party wanted to take her to some deserted corner and do something to her, he would not succeed.

As a result, Luo Xi brought her to the entrance of the level scene of 'Starting Point and End Point'.

"What is he going to do? Take me with him to clear the customs?" Qiu Kui thought.

At this time, Luo Xi said, "In terms of difficulty, this is the most difficult of all the level scenes so far. It has all four attributes, and each one is of the highest difficulty. In fact, I do know that none of you can pass this scene at this stage, so this scene is the best touchstone. I really need to use this scene to check and evaluate everyone's abilities and methods, and then put them in the most suitable position."

"There are some things I don't want to explain too much. Regarding the day of breaking the imprisonment, it was originally a two-way journey for me and my companions. We are partners who walk together with the same ideas and goals, not a mob that was deceived by my "lie" and forced together. So, I will answer one question for you, that is, whether I can pass this scene. As for whether you are willing to continue to follow us and continue to implement the plan, I will not force you."

Qiu Kui understood what was said.

That is, the other party will only prove the authenticity of the "starting point and end point" scene of the customs clearance. For the rest, the other party is too lazy to explain. To put it more bluntly, when the time comes, you can stay if you want to, and no one will stop you if you want to leave.

"Give me your hand!" Luo Xi stretched out his hand. Qiu Kui was stunned. The former said: "This door will separate all the individual challengers. Only if you hold hands and go in, you can be separated into a group."

Qiu Kui understood, and then reached out and grabbed Luo Xi's hand.

The two walked into the door frame.

Sure enough, the two of them entered the first floor lobby of the building together.

Qiu Kui didn't say anything at this time, with an expression that said "I'll watch how you pass the level."

The first floor was the same as when she came here on the previous cycle day. Normally, there was no passage to go up. Only by breaking the glass and using the horrible flesh and blood outside could she climb to the second floor.

This place is like a complicated maze. Every level up requires you to use your brain, and every level up is like a separate scene.

That’s why this is called the most difficult level scene.

When seeing Luo Xi breaking the glass window, Qiu Kui looked disdainful.

"Isn't it the same method? I have reached the fifteenth floor before, and he used the same method as me." Qiu Kui followed him, but the next moment, she was stunned.

Because after breaking the glass, Luo Xi did not climb up from what she thought was the gap in flesh and blood, but instead used a knife to stab a mass of flesh and blood in another location.

The flesh and blood was like a tumor, spread out on the ground, just like a pancake.

As a result, when the knife was stabbed, the mass of flesh seemed to feel the pain and shrank back with a loud noise, just like the closing leaves of a mimosa. From its previous pancake shape, it shrank into a walnut-like ball of flesh.

As a result, an entrance was revealed on the ground.

Entrance to the basement.

Okra was stunned.

She didn't expect that there would be another passage on the first floor, but this one led to the underground, and relatively speaking, it should be farther away from the top floor.

Moreover, she had already determined that the elevator and stairs on the first floor were blocked, so it would be useless to go down to the underground floor. After all, no matter which one she chose, she had to pass through the area on the first floor. So she was just surprised that there was an underground entrance, but she didn't think it would change anything.

In the end, the result is the same, from the first floor to the second floor.

And she had already done all this.

Luo Xi didn't explain to her, but walked away, and Qiu Kui followed closely behind.

Below was the underground parking lot. Luo Xi found a car, broke the glass, took out a key from the passenger glove box, and then found another elevator in the underground parking lot.

It was not until this moment that Qiu Kui reacted.

"There is more than one elevator in this building?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Did anyone tell you that there is only one elevator here?" Luo Xi asked back.

Okra was speechless.

No one said anything, she just assumed it.

Luo Xi pressed the elevator button, and soon the elevator opened. However, as the elevator door opened, a cold breath surged out.

Okra's eyelids twitched.

In the elevator, with his back to the door, stood an old man in shrouds.

The old man lowered his head, with his hands hanging down, but he was standing on tiptoes in an extremely strange posture.

Even a fool can see that this is a 'ghost'.

There aren't many of these things, maybe only two or three in ten scenes, but in terms of how dangerous they are, they're much scarier than a murderer.

If you are lucky, or fight back with a desperate mentality, it is still possible to kill a murderer, but this is not the case with a 'ghost'.

Once you encounter it, unless you have a card like [Exorcism] that can restrain ghosts, or you are lucky enough to encounter a ghost that will kill people only when the rules are triggered, otherwise, you have to prepare to wake up on the next cycle day.

Moreover, compared to the quick and decisive killing method of a serial killer, the killing of a "ghost" is sometimes more terrifying, and leaves greater psychological and spiritual trauma to the person who has forgotten his past.

Qiu Kui had encountered this once before, and even now she still gets goose bumps when she thinks about it.

What surprised her next was that Luo Xi actually walked into the haunted elevator without a care in the world, and then almost stuck to the ghost and waved at Qiu Kui outside.

That means, come in quickly and don't waste time.

"He's not afraid, which means there's no problem for the time being." Qiu Kui reacted quickly, and at this time, even if she was afraid, she wouldn't show it.

So he gritted his teeth and walked into the elevator.

At this time, Luo Xi opened his mouth, but did not speak, he just made lip movements.

It seemed to be saying 'Don't breathe'.

Qiu Kui reacted immediately and held her breath the moment she stepped into the elevator.

She knew that the wall-facing ghost in the elevator was a rule-based evil ghost. The mechanism that triggered its killing was breathing. As long as she held her breath, she could ride the elevator safely.

But why didn't Luo Xi say it earlier?

If you had said it earlier, I would have taken a deep breath.

As a result, she only had half a breath left, and after more than ten seconds she was already blushing from holding it.

On the other hand, Luo Xi looked so calm, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Qiu Kui quickly calculated that she could only hold on for another twenty seconds, and that would be her limit. By then, she would either suffocate to death or die at the hands of the evil spirit.

That hatred in my heart.

But she had no other choice but to tense her whole body, clench her fists, and hold her breath as if she was trying her best.

The elevator goes up.

Qiu Kui discovered that Luo Xi pressed the 5th layer.

Why not just go to the top floor?

Qiu Kui was puzzled. Could it be that because he knew that he couldn't hold it anymore, he asked him to go to the 5th floor to get some fresh air first?
It is possible.

Soon, we arrived at the 5th floor.

After the elevator door opened, Qiu Kui walked out immediately, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she got outside. Her originally fair neck was red, with veins bulging, which was very scary.

Luo Xi also walked out of the elevator.

He looked back, and the moment the elevator door closed, the body of the wall-facing ghost inside began to make some strange changes and sounds.

However, all of these were blocked out the moment the elevator door closed.

Qiu Kui also noticed it, and she immediately figured out the key.

"That is to say, the elevator can only go up to the fifth floor, because if it goes up any further, the ghost inside will kill people immediately. Wait, doesn't that mean that the previous mechanism of killing people by breathing was a lie?"
