68: Chapter 68 Vampire Castle 24

"Where are the people? Did they disappear?"

"How is that possible? What exactly is down there?"

"Th-they two, they w-wouldn't be dead, would they?"

The expressions of the few people were extremely ugly. Luo Yuejian frowned tightly, "How about we go down and take a look?"

"N-no, no, no! I'm not going down there!" Stuttering Uncle immediately rejected, shaking his head vigorously, his expression filled with panic and fear.

Short-sleeved Youth also shook his head, "We aren't sure what's down there right now; going down is likely sending ourselves to our deaths. It's best if we first figure out what exactly happened... Big Shot?"

While he was speaking, Luo Yuejian, with a cold expression, walked on her own to the circular platform that had already risen, and then sat down right there.

Luo Yuejian had actually already concluded in her heart that White-collar Woman and Buzz-cut Man were both dead. After all, falling from such a high place, you couldn't even see the bottom! The height was simply daunting; how could anyone fall from such a height and survive?

However, without seeing the two people's corpses, without actual proof, she said aloud that she wanted to go down to check the situation and look for clues. Could the system really stop her?

Seeing Luo Yuejian's actions, the three players were all very surprised, not understanding what she was doing.

"Are you trying to go down?" Short-sleeved Youth asked hesitantly, his voice revealing a trace of doubt and worry.

Because of the experiences on the previous floors, especially since Luo Yuejian had saved his life on the last floor, Short-sleeved Youth trusted her exceptionally well. Although he completely didn't understand her behavior this time, out of trust for her, he still chose to support her without hesitation.

A flash of determination crossed his eyes, "You still need someone to cooperate, right? I'll help you."

"No need," Luo Yuejian said indifferently.

Luo Yuejian thought to herself that it was completely unnecessary. Having been tricked for so long, she finally understood: as long as she got involved with these teammates, accidents would always happen, and she couldn't die even if she wanted to.

This time, if she went down alone, she asked, who else could stop her!

Luo Yuejian gave a wicked smile in her heart, *System, just watch me die this time.*

It was actually easy to operate alone; she just needed to spread her legs. Luo Yuejian had originally wanted to wait for the others to guide her and help her adjust her position, but she didn't expect that before she could even adjust her posture, she heard a "click." Following that—

Aaaaaah!

She knew that falling straight down like this would be thrilling, but she didn't expect it to be this thrilling!

Her white hair was all blown upwards by the wind. Luo Yuejian's heart was beating extremely fast; it was like riding a roller coaster—no, it was like the Drop Tower.

Luo Yuejian was screaming internally, but on the surface, she didn't show it at all, remaining as calm as ever. It made the viewers in the livestream room call her an expert.

A feeling of weightlessness struck her. Luo Yuejian felt as if she had entered a vacuum state; she couldn't breathe properly, and her brain was almost unable to think.

She had originally thought she was done for this time.

However, just as she was about to land, the descending speed of the circular platform suddenly slowed down, until it landed gently.

When Luo Yuejian walked off the circular platform, her mind was blank.

What is this situation? Did she really play the Drop Tower? Is this damn place actually an amusement park...?

She was still dizzy when a surprised shout came from the opposite side: "That's great, you've come down too!"

Luo Yuejian looked closely and saw that it was actually White-collar Woman and Buzz-cut Man! They hadn't died!

Oh right, Luo Yuejian realized; if even she hadn't died, how could these two have died?

For a moment, sorrow welled up in Luo Yuejian's heart. Why hadn't she died? How could she not have died?

White-collar Woman and Buzz-cut Man were truly very surprised to see Luo Yuejian.

After they fell, they had both thought they were surely going to die. Who would have guessed that after reaching the bottom, the rapidly descending circular platform would actually start to decelerate? It was clear that the person who designed this lift didn't intend for them to die.

After getting down, they only felt their heads buzzing, as if the whole world was spinning. Due to the rapid descent, their brains were still in a state of extreme chaos and confusion.

They staggered off the circular platform, and when they finally came to their senses and looked closely, the circular platform had already risen slowly! This sudden change left them astonished, and for a moment, they were at a loss for what to do.

After some discussion, they both believed in their hearts that the people above would likely not come down again. After all, that thrilling scene just now was too terrifying; whoever it was, they probably wouldn't dare to try it a second time easily.

Moreover, since no one came down, they had no way to go back up and tell the people above that it was safe below. As a result, those teammates above would likely be even less willing to risk coming down.

It was simply like an unsolvable loop.

They had originally planned to explore this underground space by themselves, but they hadn't expected that at this moment, Luo Yuejian would actually come down.

For them, this was undoubtedly a huge surprise! After all, neither of them was particularly smart, and exploring a space alone was still somewhat difficult for them.

At this moment, Buzz-cut Man suddenly reacted, and without waiting to say much, he hurriedly rushed onto the circular platform.

At this time, the circular platform began to rise slowly again. Buzz-cut Man said, "I'll go up and tell them that it's safe below. You guys wait here for a moment, we'll be down immediately."

After speaking, his figure gradually rose until he could no longer be seen.

After Buzz-cut Man disappeared, White-collar Woman stole a nervous glance at Luo Yuejian beside her.

Then, in an tone of great admiration, she said, "You are really amazing. We had originally thought that no one would come down again. I didn't expect that you had already seen through everything. No wonder you asked us to sit on the circular platform at that time."

At that time, when the circular platform plummeted and then rose back up after reaching the bottom, she had thought that Luo Yuejian had miscalculated. Who knew that even when the situation was unclear, and the circular platform had risen back up empty after descending, Luo Yuejian would still dare to come down.

Obviously, this wasn't just about courage; it was because Luo Yuejian had already understood the mystery of this mechanism, knew its principles like the back of her hand, and knew deeply that this mechanism was actually not dangerous. It was precisely because of this that she could come down so boldly and confidently.

Luo Yuejian was about to wipe her sweat. Others didn't know why she came down, but could she not know herself? It wasn't just because she purely thought she would die if she came down, which is why she came over to die so enthusiastically.

Who could have thought that there was a whole new world down here!

Facing this praise that didn't belong to her, Luo Yuejian only felt incredibly awkward in her heart, so she hurriedly said, "I'm not amazing."

She thought she had said this with trepidation, but to others, it sounded as if, after showing off, she was indifferent and casually said, "I'm not amazing."
