160: Chapter 160 Abandoned Unfinished Building 13
Upon hearing the number "six games," the expressions of several players turned to shock.
The rookie players couldn't help but think that since they hadn't even left the initial room in their current game yet had already encountered so many traps, the difficulty of the five games Luo Yuejian had cleared could be imagined.
"Damn, this person is really something..."
The other few rookie players might not have fully understood what those six games represented, but they felt a sense of shock and admiration.
However, the other two veteran players present were having a complete meltdown!
The Tattooed Man let out a direct "Damn," his eyes widening to an unnatural size as he stared at Luo Yuejian.
"Six games?!"
What kind of concept was six games?
The Messy-Haired Man had a clearer understanding of this than the Tattooed Man, and his gaze toward Luo Yuejian was like he was looking at some kind of monster.
He was only a veteran player currently on his third game, yet he certainly couldn't say those three games had been easy; there were even moments when he had come close to death.
Yet, the White-haired Girl before him claimed to have already cleared five games and was currently in her sixth!
This left the Messy-Haired Man in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
Previously, he had interacted with other players in the Game City, most of whom were players like him with two or three games under their belts, and some of those players knew a few big shots.
But six games... he had truly never heard of that before...
Could it be that the White-haired Girl in front of him was among the top-tier players in the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game so far?
The Messy-Haired Man looked into the White-haired Girl's cold, calm eyes and knew that she had absolutely no need to lie about this.
If, as the Messy-Haired Man had imagined, the White-haired Girl were the Psychopathic murderer, then she could have easily stated a standard number instead of blurting out such an exaggerated figure.
This number would easily arouse suspicion from other players.
Yet, the Messy-Haired Man couldn't bring himself to feel even a shred of doubt about this number...
After all, given Luo Yuejian's performance so far, it was truly possible that she was a big shot who had cleared five Miracle Escape Live Stream Games.
The Messy-Haired Man looked at the White-haired Girl, whose expression was indifferent and who hadn't even lifted an eyelid, his inner feelings at that moment truly complex.
At that moment, his previously unwavering belief that Luo Yuejian was the Psychopathic murderer finally wavered.
If Luo Yuejian were truly the Psychopathic murderer, she would have had no need to warn them at this time.
After all, he himself had already tested the stairs with that glass shard, so in everyone's eyes, the stairs were safe.
Even if something went wrong later, the other players would only blame him and would absolutely not implicate Luo Yuejian.
Therefore, even if Luo Yuejian knew something, she could have completely kept to herself and not warned them about the hidden details here.
If she really were the Psychopathic murderer, this would be an excellent way to trap and kill a player.
But Luo Yuejian did not do so.
She warned the Gentle Man with Glasses.
Just by the fact that she did this, the Messy-Haired Man's inner suspicions had already begun to waver.
Coupled with Luo Yuejian claiming to be a big shot who had cleared five games, the terrifying insight she had displayed earlier became understandable.
Of course, one couldn't rule out that the White-haired Girl did this to make them lower their guard, but honestly, the Messy-Haired Man felt there was no need for the White-haired Girl to do so.
Thinking of this, the Messy-Haired Man sighed internally and decided to cast aside his previous prejudices, instead casting his suspicious gaze toward the other players present.
After scanning the other players, the Messy-Haired Man quietly withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "In that case, let's quickly gather enough items with a weight similar to a human body and test the stairs one more time to see if there are any traps."
"No problem, let's move quickly," said the boy wearing large floral shorts. "I think the Tattooed Man is about to collapse."
Hearing this, everyone looked toward the Tattooed Man and indeed saw his pained expression; he seemed to have been enduring pain all along.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the Tattooed Man forced a smile. "It's nothing, I can still hold on. Getting out of here is what matters most."
Seeing this, the players quickened their pace. Although this room didn't have any large objects, there were plenty of scattered pieces of trash, wall bricks, and the like.
They collected the trash, and then the Messy-Haired Man threw it all onto the stairs.
The moment it landed, the stairs collapsed with a roar. Debris and bricks tumbled down, revealing the familiar empty space below. It was easy to imagine that if they hadn't had Luo Yuejian's warning just now, the first player to jump across would surely have met with disaster.
Luo Yuejian sighed inwardly, what a shoddy piece of construction.
Several people gulped, and the Girl in Pink Jeans asked, "What now? How are we supposed to get down?"
Before they could say anything more, a vibration suddenly came from behind, and the floor beneath their feet began to shake violently, making it impossible to stand steadily.
Everyone turned back in astonishment, and upon seeing the scene behind them, their expressions changed drastically.
"Crack... crackle—"
Accompanied by a dull and terrifying cracking sound, the noise of the pillars fracturing echoed in the air, entering everyone's field of vision along with falling wall dust.
It turned out that right behind them, the three huge pillars that were supposed to be load-bearing columns had deep scratches left on their surfaces from the sharp gears embedded in them, caused by their previous sliding back and forth.
And these scratches had now evolved into huge, visible cracks!
And even more terrifyingly, those cracks, like hideous spiderwebs, were still slowly spreading downwards!
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before these pillars completely split open, lost their load-bearing capacity, and then collapsed with a roar.
Then this room, or even the entire floor, would very likely collapse directly!
"Damn it!" the Tattooed Man cursed, immediately turning back and roaring, "Stop standing there like idiots, hurry and find a way down!"
Under the Tattooed Man's roar, the other players quickly snapped out of it and immediately turned back to start looking for a way down.
The floor in front had already collapsed, so it was absolutely impossible to jump to the other side. Although the stairs to the side hadn't completely collapsed yet, they had already tested them earlier; it was a very shoddy piece of construction and looked extremely unsafe.
At this moment, their gazes involuntarily fell upon the dust-covered black iron railing beside the stairs.
