161: Chapter 161 Abandoned Unfinished Building 14
These iron railings are very common; they are the protective railings set up on the pedestrian staircases in buildings to prevent residents from accidentally falling off.
Judging from the scene outside this room, jumping onto that iron railing and then using it to climb downwards is their best option.
However, because of the ghostly state of this Abandoned Unfinished Building where everything could collapse at any moment, the few players now dare not confirm whether this iron railing can stay securely in place.
If they jump over and the iron railing can't bear the pressure and collapses directly, they will be in real trouble.
"Why don't we test if this iron railing is secure?" Tattooed Man asked.
"How are we supposed to test it?" The boy in floral shorts looked agitated and couldn't help but slap the wall forcefully. The situation was truly urgent now; after all, the sound of the load-bearing columns cracking behind them could still be faintly heard.
At a time like this, being one second late could mean being buried in the ruins.
Previously, in order to make up the weight equivalent to a normal human, they had already thrown all the miscellaneous trash in the room over there.
Now, those things had also fallen down along with the collapse of the staircase.
Now the room was empty, which meant they had no other items that could be used to test the trap.
However, Messy-Haired Man waved his hand, and with a flip of his palm, a grappling hook appeared in his hand.
"It's fine, my lifebound item can help," Messy-Haired Man said.
"I can use this grappling hook to latch directly onto the iron railing opposite, and then we can all try to pull it together. If we can't pull it down, it proves that it's relatively stable."
"An item?" The boy in floral shorts was very surprised.
The other players also looked at Messy-Haired Man immediately.
"An item rewarded by the game? Do you get it if you win?" Gentle Man with Glasses also narrowed his eyes slightly and asked eagerly.
Messy-Haired Man explained quickly, "Not every game victory gives you one. Only by successfully winning the game and obtaining the MVP of this match will you receive an item."
"The item obtained from the first game victory is the player's lifebound item, and its ability should be stronger. However, I don't have a second item yet, so I have no comparison."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Luo Yuejian.
After all, judging from Luo Yuejian's previous performance, this person had definitely obtained the game's MVP more than once, and her experience was definitely very rich.
Noticing Messy-Haired Man's gaze, Luo Yuejian did not hide anything. Mainly because there was no need to, she nodded, "The items given later are all very mediocre."
After saying this, she casually took out the matchbox to show the players, "Apart from being able to take out one matchstick every hour, it has no other functions."
The moment he saw the matchbox, the last trace of suspicion in Messy-Haired Man's heart toward Luo Yuejian vanished instantly.
According to what Mr. Mask said at the beginning, the Psychopathic murderer should have just died and reached a cooperation agreement with the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game; this game should be the first one he participated in.
In other words, the Psychopathic murderer could not possibly have an item in his hands.
And at this moment, the matchbox that appeared when Luo Yuejian flipped her hand was clearly an item obtained as an MVP reward from clearing a previous game.
So this proved that Luo Yuejian could not be that Psychopathic murderer.
To be honest, at the moment he confirmed Luo Yuejian's status as a player, Messy-Haired Man let out a long sigh of relief, feeling unexpectedly relaxed.
With such a big shot in their camp, the probability of clearing the game would definitely skyrocket.
Next, they just needed to follow closely in the footsteps of the White-haired Girl and not trigger any other mechanisms or traps, and it would be very likely that they could clear the game alive.
As for things like MVP, Messy-Haired Man hadn't even thought about it. With the White-haired Girl around, how could the MVP fall into anyone else's hands?
Feeling quite relieved, Messy-Haired Man didn't hesitate and directly activated the grappling hook item in his hand, successfully latching onto the iron railing opposite.
Together with Gentle Man with Glasses, he tried pulling the rope hard, but the railing on the other side only swayed within a normal range and didn't show any other tricks.
Seeing this, the few players all breathed a sigh of relief. At least they had found a way to go downstairs and didn't need to worry about being trapped to death on this floor.
The cracks on the load-bearing columns behind them were getting bigger and bigger, making one panic just by looking at them. It looked like it could collapse at any moment, burying everything on this floor within it.
"Let's hurry, I'll go first," Messy-Haired Man said.
Of course, Messy-Haired Man was a very cautious person. Although they had already tested it previously and the iron railing should have been fine, he still made backup preparations in advance.
He retracted the grappling hook, and at the same time, wrapped one end of the rope around his waist, while the other side was firmly hooked onto the door handle of the main entrance.
This way, if he jumped onto the iron railing later and it unexpectedly broke, he could rely on his lifebound item, the grappling hook, to catch his falling body and save his life.
After testing the stability of the rope, Messy-Haired Man stepped back a few paces, took a deep breath, and then with a running start, jumped directly onto the black iron railing.
The black iron railing swayed a few times under the force of the adult rushing over, but it did not break.
This made all the players breathe a huge sigh of relief, and the boy in floral shorts immediately said, "My turn, my turn!"
After saying that, he also rushed over without hesitation, jumped, and then hugged the black iron railing.
Once the boy in floral shorts had also grabbed the iron railing steadily and stood beside Messy-Haired Man, Messy-Haired Man stopped the few players behind who were eager to jump over.
"The rest of you wait a moment. The two of us will climb down a bit, and then you come up. Otherwise, if so many of us jump over at once, even if this iron railing is sturdy, it will become unstable."
This made sense, and the length of the iron railing itself was not enough for the six of them to stand in a row.
Messy-Haired Man and the boy in floral shorts quickly moved downstairs. Turning the corner, they reached the position of the next floor, still clinging to the iron railing.
The boy in floral shorts shouted, "It's okay, you guys come down!"
Gentle Man with Glasses and Tattooed Man followed closely behind. The last two people to jump up were Luo Yuejian and the Girl in Pink Jeans.
Luo Yuejian simply didn't want to leave. She was still dreaming of the possibility that if she dawdled for a while, the building would collapse, and she could respawn painlessly. So she prepared to let the other players go first, while she herself would dawdle and bring up the rear.
So she glanced at the Girl in Pink Jeans, signaling her to jump over first.
