Doomsday Jigsaw Game

(When reviewing previous chapters, I found that readers pointed out that the name Tao Xingzhi refers to a historical figure, so in order to avoid suspicion, I would like to explain that it is just the same name of a character, without any innuendo. It really doesn’t happen this time~)

Bai Wu's words were gentle but revealed strong determination.

Although Wujiu did not speak, his eyes were firm, and his will to save these people was not inferior to Bai Wu's.

Now they have officially understood how miserable those scientists who stood at the end of Denglin City were.

Under Bai Wu's words one after another, the female scientist finally recovered from despair and tried to accept this reality.

Is someone really coming to save us? But how are you going to save us... The monsters outside are too strong... It's too late, they are already so powerful that they have no weaknesses...

We died too many times, too late! We've made them too powerful!

The woman hugged Bai Wu and burst into tears. Bai Wu gently patted the female scientist on the back:

Just leave it to us. No matter how strong they are, my friends and I will definitely drive them out.

Bai Wu, who was carrying a big sword on his back, and Wujiu, who was holding a sword at his waist, exuded a momentum that made the woman feel that these two people were extraordinary.

You'll see, we'll get you out of here eventually, but for now, I need you to tell us what's going on. Where are the other scientists?

Bai Wu looked at the female scientist.

The female scientist cheered up a little, and finally tidied up her appearance at this time:

I'm sorry, I lost my temper. My name is Bi Yunxia, ​​and I am the scientist responsible for pharmaceuticals.

My name is Bai Wu. I come from the Investigation Corps outside the tower. This is my boss.

Hello, my name is Gu Qingyu, from the Investigation Corps outside the tower.

Baiwu and Wujiu also introduced.

Bi Yunxia was surprised and said:

Are you from the Tower? I thought... the Tower was our enemy...

Wujiu was puzzled, but Bai Wu could probably understand:

Those who stay here are heroes, but not all those who go to the tower are betrayers.

Bai Wu decided to say Xie Yingjie's name, but Bi Yunxia seemed to notice it, shook her head and said:

Let me take you to meet other people... They are all staying in the office on the 20th floor. Because of the torture of negative attributes, Xing Tao and I couldn't bear it anymore, so we came down first. Did you see Xing Tao? ?”

Bai Wu guessed that the Xing Tao mentioned by Bi Yunxia was the one who suddenly exploded.

Bai Wu said:

We saw it but we didn't have time to save him.

Bi Yunxia didn't care:

If you hadn't been able to ease my pain, I wouldn't have wanted to live... Let's go and talk to the top. Everyone should know that you are here, but their attitude may not be the same as mine.

With questions in mind, Baiwu and the other three began to move towards the twentieth floor.

Although there are still some documents that can be collected in the middle, Baiwu is not in a hurry.

There is one thing Baiwu is very concerned about. Since the captain has arrived a long time ago, and Bi Yunxia and Xing Tao are both tortured to death by negative attributes, why doesn't the captain feel this way?

Is it because the negative attributes are not strong enough?

Or is it that the captain has become so powerful that it exceeds human limits?

Bai Wu didn't ask, because after taking the elevator, he arrived at the twentieth floor quickly.

There is a relatively bright rest room on the twentieth floor. In the corner of the rest room, a bunch of lifeless scientists are lying in a mess.

They have not been infected with negative attributes, or in other words, it was less than four hours since their last death.

Everyone's face was filled with despair.

Seeing Bi Yunxia bring two men who looked incompatible with this place, some people opened their eyes and showed a trace of thinking.

There are also people who don't care at all and no matter who comes, they can't change the status quo. He was still trembling with fear and worry, waiting for the doom that would come four hours after his resurrection.

Among this group of people, there was no Professor Tao.

Bi Yunxia quickly began to introduce these scientists, and also told the origins of Baiwu and Wujiu, and heard that they came from the high tower.

Everyone reacted, and most people still believed that it was impossible for these two people to change the status quo. Some asked if they could enter the tower.

A physicist named Hou Haiyan showed a flattering expression as if he was hugging his thigh, wanting to enter the tower.

Most others are waiting and watching.

Please! I heard that any twisted rules cannot take effect in the tower! Since you are from the tower, there must be a way to bring me into the tower, right? There must be a way, right?

Wujiu took out the return roulette wheel:

You can enter the tower through this thing, but I tried it not long ago and it couldn't be activated. Indeed, entering the tower can isolate all distortions, but in some places, it can interrupt the working mechanism of the roulette wheel.

This kind of thing happened on the death flight. Bai Wu didn't care at all, but the expressions of others were quite disappointed.

Baiwu and Wujiu also began to express their intentions. The two talked about some things about the tower and the outside world. Baiwu also mentioned everything he saw in Xuanhui City, the scene in the heart of Jingsi.

Jing Si, Xuan Hui, Xie Yingjie, these words seem very far away from these scientists, but very close at the same time.

Maybe you think that the people in the tower are cowards, and maybe you even have some hatred for those who abandoned you and entered the tower, but this is not the case...

Xie Yingjie has never...

Get out!

Bai Wu's words were interrupted by a scientist named Fu Lei.

He looks about forty years old, with a Chinese character face and a beard. He looks a bit tough and tough.

Bai Wu noticed Fu Lei. This person was the most normal-looking and the most abnormal-looking among the group of people.

Normally, he didn't appear jumpy, just extremely tired.

What's strange is that Fu Lei and others reacted completely differently. After Bai Wu and Wujiu arrived, others would react more or less with disappointment, surprise, and cautious and trembling hope.

Only Fu Lei had no expression change from beginning to end, his heart was ashen and his face was ashen.

But when Bai Wu was about to mention Xie Yingjie, Fu Lei suddenly shouted:

Get out of here, you love to show off and go somewhere else, get out! This place doesn't belong to you.

After Bai Wu's introduction, many scientists, like Bi Yunxia, ​​felt the extraordinaryness of Bai Wu and Wujiu, and felt some hope in their hearts.

In particular, Bi Yunxia, ​​who was supposed to be tortured to death by negative attributes, endured the pain because of Bai Wu, or in other words, the pain was relieved by Bai Wu's magical power.

Bi Yunxia said:

Old Master... how about we...

Bi Yunxia, ​​are you crazy because of the fucking injections? Do you want me to blow your head off with a hammer to wake you up? Do you know what meaningless hope means?

Do you know who is responsible for our current situation? His surname is Tao! He is also surnamed Xie!

If he wasn't named Xie, how could he, Tao Xingzhi, have so much resentment towards the defectors? Could he lock us here for the rest of our lives?

Fu Lei seemed to be the leader of this group of scientists. Bai Wu discovered that this person actually had the power of companionship and had four negative attributes.

In other words, Fu Lei looked desperate, but he was the most persistent among the group.

Only Fu Lei doesn't look like he's disheveled and defeated by reality. But it was Fu Lei who was most resistant to the arrival of Bai Wu and others at this time.

Bai Wu, right? I don't care who you are, don't mention Xie Yingjie in front of us. Has he sent anyone here in the past seven hundred years? You don't think that thinking about it in your heart is called having a conscience. Alright?

These words really moved Bai Wu.

Yes, many people are evil in their hearts but have not committed any crime. You cannot say that such a person is a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person.

Many people do bad things with inner struggle and remorse. They think they have no choice and just want to be a good person, but in essence, they are a bad person.

No matter how much Xie Yingjie missed Professor Tao in front of him, it was meaningless as long as Xie Yingjie didn't take action.

Perhaps Xie Yingjie's desire to develop weapons capable of fighting outside the tower shows that his original intention has not changed.

But it would be too cruel to talk about how good Xie Yingjie is in front of scientists like Bi Yunxia, ​​Hou Haiyan, and Fu Lei.

Bai Wu nodded:

He is a deserter, which is understandable. I will not speak for him anymore, but we have not given you any unnecessary hope.

Fu Lei ignored Bai Wu. Now that Bai Wu had entered the building, the return roulette wheel could not be activated and he could not return to the tower. He was convinced...

Sooner or later, these two people will regret and despair, and like everyone here, they will curse Xie Yingjie and Tao Xingzhi.

Fu Lei lay down directly on the ground, took a lab report and started reading it silently.

Others, including Hou Haiyan, had also gotten over their fresh energy. When they heard that Bai Wu could not go back in 59, they stopped talking to him.

Everyone was lying down waiting to die, and no one believed them. They thought Fu Lei was right.

Useless hope is the most harmful thing.

Only Bi Yunxia, ​​feeling the gentle power from Bai Wu's hand that could soothe the pain in her heart, believed that what Bai Wu said was true.

Everyone... everyone has been through too much pain, I hope you don't mind.

Baiwu doesn't want to waste time. He will prove to Wujiu that the evil outside is not invincible.

Now he and Wujiu also have such ability.

But right now, he needed to know what was going on here.

Everyone was sitting slumped lifelessly. Bai Wu didn't expect these people to answer questions, so he asked Bi Yunxia:

I need to know what happened after Xie Yingjie left, after the tower disappeared in 2128, what Jing Si did, and what happened to Professor Tao?

Bi Yunxia nodded and began to tell slowly——

Although a long time has passed, we will never forget what happened that year.

After Xie Yingjie left, everyone was deeply affected. Although we researched ways to deal with evil in many fields, only Xie Yingjie and Tao Xingzhi achieved results in the fields they mainly studied.

Jing Si's madness became more and more frequent. He couldn't suppress his distortions, and many scientists in the building became villains. He created a realm to isolate himself.

But that's meaningless. We need to study Jing Si, the most powerful villain in history. If we can create something that can defeat Jing Si, we will naturally be able to defeat other villains...

There was hope, but now there's no hope.

The negative emotions further stimulated Jing Si, who went crazy and killed Jing Liu...

Bai Wu was shocked. He didn't expect Jing Si to kill Jing Liu when he was in a state of madness.

Jing Liu was resurrected elsewhere. Is this why the brother and sister later separated?

Jing Si also knows that madness can hurt others, so he has always hoped that Tao Xingzhi's project will bear fruit, but how can it possibly bear fruit?

Xie Yingjie is gone! He's gone!

Bi Yunxia was still a little excited, and Bai Wu noticed that everyone's expressions had also changed.

They hated Xie Yingjie to the point of death.

Jing Si also discovered this in the end. There is no savior in this world, and became Jing Si's inner demon. The inner demon was divided into two parts...one is good thoughts, and the other is evil thoughts.

We don't know where the good thoughts went, but the evil thoughts stayed in Denglin City.

Bai Wu suddenly realized that Shannian must have gone to Xuanhui City.

So Jing Si's heart...is not actually a real heart. Jing's own monsters are already immortal.

They don't have any organs to speak of.

The so-called heart is just the product of Jing Si's huge obsession.

One stayed in Denglin and twisted the rules, while the other went to Xuanhui City and was bumped into by Bai Wu and Wujiu.

It turns out they were kind thoughts...

Only then did Bai Wu realize why he was shouting that the savior existed, so that Jing Si could completely feel relieved.

Because that's what Jing Si expected.

Good thoughts are like this, but what about evil thoughts?

The evil thoughts were embedded in Tao Xingzhi. Jing Si was almost crazy at that time and said to Tao Xingzhi: You have to pay the price for your incompetence and lies.

So a huge twisted obsession was poured into Tao Xingzhi's body by Jing Si.

When we saw Tao Xingzhi again, he said goodbye to us calmly.

Thinking of the farewell scene, Bi Yunxia was actually a little touched, but everyone hated Tao Xingzhi because of their current fate, so no one dared to show it.

They used to admire that person, but now... everything has changed.

He said to us -

‘Human beings will never fail. I have become a cursed person. I am about to become a monster, but don’t be afraid... From now on, Jing Si’s obsession is my obsession.

You will never become evil like me, and you will always live in a human way.

You will not be killed by evil, and this last haven will not be destroyed!

Try to survive, we are the last hope of mankind... The tower will collapse one day, but when that time comes, we will definitely be able to find a way to solve the evil... It must be possible!

I'm really sorry. I should be with you, but I don't have much time. ‘

Such words made us very touched at the time... We vowed to work hard to study it.

But they ignored that sentence - Jing Si's obsession is what his obsession means, and we should have escaped at that time.

Bai Wu asked:

What is Jing Si's obsession? What is Professor Tao's obsession?

Bi Yunxia spoke in a heavy tone:

The person who couldn't let go of Xie Yingjie's death the most was Tao Xingzhi. After confessing his last words, Tao Xingzhi's will was completely swallowed up by that twisted Jing Si heart.

When he gained huge twisted power, the city, this building, was shrouded in new rules.

His hatred for Xie Yingjie has also been twisted into a hatred that is huge enough to change the rules of the world!

We cannot become evil, we cannot truly die, death is just the beginning, we do not have any retreat...

We must continue to think of ways to research and find out how to kill evil degenerates. Only by using our research to kill the strongest evil degenerates in this city can we gain relief.

At first we thought we could do it, but we didn't expect that what Jing Si imposed on us was a curse!

Our death will actually make the monsters stronger! The speed of our research cannot keep up with the speed of monster evolution.

Even if you die from negative attributes once every four hours, the monsters outside will become stronger.

We have studied a lot of things, and maybe these things were useful at first...but they are meaningless.

Their resistance is getting higher and higher. As we continue to die and resurrect, the weaknesses that were finally implanted in the evil ones have been overcome by them through various mutations and evolutions.

In the first few months, we were very motivated, but a year later, we realized the horror of it all.

Two years later, we collapsed more and more, but we didn't even have the power to truly collapse. We could only wake up in pain, and because we were awake, we were even more painful.

One year, two years, three years, five years, ten years, twenty years, fifty years... Baiwu... we can't hold on any longer! We really... tried very hard.

But there is no way... There is really no way. No matter how hard we try, no matter what we do... we can't shorten the gap between humans and evil!

Bi Yunxia suddenly knelt down when she said this. A proud scientist, a person with the pride to choose to stay in Denglin City, now knelt in front of Baiwu:

We lost, we gave up... I don't want to stay here, I want to really die, I don't want to be a human being anymore!

Throughout the rest room, the emotions of all the scientists burst out amidst Bi Yunxia's cries.

Many scientists, like Hou Haiyan, were holding their heads and crying. They didn't look like scientists, but like beggars whose backs had been broken.

Fu Lei covered his face with the file and lay on his back. No one knew Fu Lei's expression, but they could only see Fu Lei's fists clenched tightly.

Bai Wu gently helped Bi Yunxia up and said:

So the evil thoughts of Jing Si grew in Professor Tao, and Professor Tao turned into a monster... The task he left for you is to use your research to kill the strongest monster.

Bi Yunxia nodded.

Wujiu thought of something and looked at Bai Wu. Bai Wu shook his head with a complicated expression:

That monster...is Professor Tao himself, right? He absorbed part of Jing Si's power and became the most powerful villain in the city.

Bi Yunxia cried and said:

We don't know either... After many mutations and not leaving this building for too long, we no longer know what he looks like.

Baiwu basically confirmed this:

So the Tao religion also meets this characteristic? Your death will also make Professor Tao stronger?

Yes.

Too heavy.

Bai Wu could imagine that the scientists were extremely desperate, but Professor Tao was probably also extremely desperate.

As he watched himself become stronger, the fear in his heart was probably deeper than those of these scientists.

Bai Wu has always believed that the person who can face the temptation on the fifth floor of the tower, but says I don’t want to leave; the person who can make Jing Si always feel guilty——

Although he cursed these scientists, it was definitely not his intention, but he was completely distorted.

Deep down in his heart, he must not want to become stronger at all. He must be eager for these scientists to kill him, right?

Jing Si...has completely destroyed Professor Tao.

This is more painful than letting Professor Tao die.

He could only watch helplessly as his former colleagues fell into despair, and experienced it firsthand - a sense of powerlessness that was far more distorted than human efforts.

But regardless of Professor Tao or the scientists, what did they do wrong?

Feeling the despair of these scientists, Bi Yunxia's crying, Hou Haiyan's pleading, and Fu Lei's anger...

Bai Wu stood in the center:

I know that no matter what I say, I can't restore your hope, so I won't say anything more. Next, I and my partners will clean up the evil in this city.

Your seven hundred years of hard work have not been in vain. At least this spirit has been passed on to me.

Baiwu turned and left, and Wujiu also turned and left.

The rest of the people didn't understand what these two were going to do, but they soon understood.

Everyone was leaning on the edge of the rest room, on the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the scene on the twentieth floor below.

The scene below was as usual, densely packed with evil.

Some of these evil degenerates have low mutation levels, but due to their multiple evolutions, many horrific entries have appeared.

Any evil one can easily kill the scientists countless times, and countless evil ones gathered like a tide outside the Denglin City Science and Technology Building. What can they two humans do?

After coming out of Denglin City Science and Technology Building and seeing those evil degenerates again, Bai Wu said:

Captain, we are far stronger now than when we first explored Xuanhui City.

But the evil thoughts of Jing Si's heart have been strengthened countless times in the past seven hundred years. I don't know what level it can reach. We may experience a deadly battle.

I will protect you. Wujiu said.

I will also protect the captain, Bai Wu recalled the scene when Wujiu succeeded as deputy captain.

He also said this.

Both brothers had a premonition that a powerful enemy was hiding in the city, but neither of them retreated.

I once told Jing Si's kind heart that the savior of this world exists.

But at that time, the captain should still remember what I said later, right?

The tide of evil continued to gather. Baiwu and Wujiu stood in the shadows under the Denglin City building, with an aura that even though there were tens of thousands of people, I'm going to go.

Wujiu nodded:

You said at the time that all this was false and made up. There has never been a savior in this world, and humans are still in the tower.

When he was in the tower, even if the people on the lower three floors were bloodbathed, Bai Wu never thought of claiming to be the savior.

It still is.

But after coming to Denglin City and feeling the awareness and despair of Professor Tao and these scientists, he suddenly changed some of his ideas.

The world is too big for him to save, but at least the scientists in this city, he wants to save them.

Bai Wu's figure gradually walked out of the shadows, and the sunlight fell on him, casting a layer of gold on him. He pulled out his sword, and his fighting spirit suddenly burst out:

If there is no hero in this city, then I will be the hero!
