Chapter 4661: Desperate Escape (40)

There is an old saying: "Despicableness is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble." But this sentence is basically limited to individual situations. Once it involves a collective organization, the situation is likely to be completely reversed.

The foundation of unity is altruism. The more unconditionally altruistic traits a person has, the easier it is to unite with others in a collective. Conversely, the more selfish a person is, the harder it is to integrate into a collective. And a collective composed of selfish people is also difficult to unite.

Good people organizing is called an alliance, bad people organizing is called a gang. Alliances are always solid and reliable, gangs basically scatter at one blow. It is precisely because bad people have no altruism that can be used for unity, fully embodying what is called "each flying when disaster strikes."

The gang of designers organized by Greed is exactly like this. You can't expect people like Joker or Mephisto to sacrifice themselves to save their companions at a critical moment. In fact, even Greed wouldn't save his colleagues.

They are all scourges in the multiverse, everyone knows everyone. Saying one less is one less, it's a bit too much like a superhero. But the multiverse is indeed better because they don't exist, there's really no need to save them.

Seeing the passage open, Greed climbed to the platform along the ring in three steps. He reached out to push the door on the ground, the door made a clanging sound, but it just wouldn't push open.

It turned out that after Bruce entered, he didn't forget to pit these organizers. He directly used the iron rod and chain he got from Schiller to bolt the door from the inside.

As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger among the strong. As a member of the gang, how could Bruce not understand the thoughts of his peers. If he could let these bad guys run away, he wouldn't be the number one scourge in the multiverse.

Greed was so angry that he smashed the door panel. But it was this short delay that let Loki see his intention to escape. Loki jumped up from the other side of the ring, tiptoed behind Greed, and then hit him with a headbutt, knocking him down.

"Ouch!!!" Greed screamed, falling right onto the glass plate above the compartment. His head hit the ground with a bang. Fortunately, the mask was a plot item forcibly buckled on his face and wouldn't be knocked off, but blood still flowed down his forehead.

But there wasn't a single good person in this compartment. Batman found the top of his head darkened, and just saw Greed fall above his compartment. He immediately beckoned to Superman, let Superman kneel down halfway, and Batman stepped on his shoulder, pulled the iron rod still fixed on his collarbone, and stabbed it up along the entrance of the mechanical arm.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Greed's scream resounded through the room. His waist was directly pierced, and blood sprayed out instantly. Survival instinct made him roll to the side violently, which obviously saved his life. Because the iron rod was just pulled out, and another one came with a swoosh. If he didn't dodge, he would definitely be stabbed to death.

Greed gasped with difficulty, but still tried to support himself to kneel and sit up. Reaching out to hold the wound on his waist, he looked back: Good you Batman, you are really ruthless! Didn't you say you wouldn't kill?!

But as luck would have it, this instance didn't have a program to limit Schiller's power before. Greed also left himself a hand, saying he would write, but actually didn't do it at all. So he was stabbed, and also violently erupted with a force, directly flipping down from above.

After landing, he rolled a circle, spilling more blood, hurting so much that he hissed. But he didn't dare to stay long, if all these groups were released later, he would really have to explain it here today.

Now the most urgent task was to find an entrance to the employee passage and run in, then there were two choices: one was to go back to the previous level, and the other was to run to the next level. Both the front and back levels had other employee passages, and the doors should be unlocked.

But Greed actually had no choice, he could only go to the nearest one now. Because watching Loki go to fiddle with the control panel again, preparing to release people. No matter which group was released this time, being caught was death.

He covered his wound and ran towards the nearest door, which happened to be the door leading to the previous level of Bruce and Schiller.

The previous level was raised by an elevator through a cage, and now the cage had been hung at the highest point. It was obviously too late to control the mechanism to lower it. Greed glanced at the height below, gritted his teeth, and jumped down directly.

"Uh!!!!"

This fall didn't hurt him lightly. When Bruce and Schiller cleared the level, there wasn't much water in the room, it had long been drained, and he fell solidly on the ground. Greed felt that his internal organs were no longer his own.

But he couldn't stop his pace, because he heard the mechanism behind him had opened. They designed this mechanism without considering that players could come up, after all, there was no place to climb, and even if they climbed up, they couldn't stand, so the control panel wasn't locked. Although the command to open the door was a bit complicated, it didn't take long for Loki to crack it. He soon released another group, which was Harley and Pamela.

As soon as they came out, they found Thor pressing four people and beating them. The two looked at each other, Harley said: "Why are there four? Could it be that one ran away?"

They knew the hunter was the mole, estimated that he had already left, so there should be five left. But there were only four in the room, which meant one ran away. Then could these two let him go?

Harley licked her lips, completely excited. Now it was her turn!

Pamela originally wanted to find clues around, but after walking a few steps, she saw the blood on the ground. Greed was busy escaping and didn't have time to deal with the traces he left, a string of bloody footprints pointed directly to the door he escaped from.

Pamela and Harley chased after him. Coming to the passage entrance, Harley looked up at the cage, didn't plan to lower the cage, but directly hung on the edge of the passage with her hands, and then jumped down, which could well reduce the height, and then roll to unload the force after jumping down. And when Pamela jumped down, Harley caught her, and neither of them was injured.

However, they both saw a large pool of blood on the ground. Pamela bared her teeth: "Who did this? Didn't see Thor have a weapon in his hand?"

"With this amount of bleeding, I'm afraid it's a very deep penetrating wound."

"Shouldn't open wounds bleed more?"

"But the blood is in a jet shape, it doesn't look like an open wound can cause it, but rather like being stabbed through the chest or abdomen, leaving it while squeezing the wound during the escape." Harley thought for a while and said, "It doesn't look like Thor and Loki did it."

At this time, in the employee passage separated by a wall from them, Greed was trying to restrain his breathing. Don't ask him why he didn't continue running, he really had no strength left.

Batman's stab was ruthless and accurate, almost piercing his kidney, now internal organs were bleeding heavily, and he was dying. He was considering whether to directly open the permission to get a corpse out, let this organizer die here directly, and he himself would escape.

"I'm not that lazy ghost Pride," Greed gritted his teeth, he was very dedicated. Since he chose to play, he would play to the end. He definitely couldn't die here so easily today!

But he really couldn't run anymore. Greed could only take off his coat very slowly. He also had to grit his teeth and not make a sound, because as the designer of the level, he knew that all places outside the game room were designed very simply. This employee passage wasn't very soundproof, if he made a sound, he would definitely be caught by those two unlucky things outside, and then he would have a good fruit to eat.

Greed wrapped the blood-stained coat around his waist, gritted his teeth and tightened it, and let out a muffled groan. Various colorful lines swayed in front of his eyes. Harley's voice sounded in his ears.

"Look at the disk above here, why are there so many scratches?" Harley pointed to the disk above. Originally it shouldn't be seen clearly, but after the disk was opened, the firelight from upstairs could illuminate it clearly. Harley squinted her eyes, a bit ambiguous.

Pamela hugged her and lifted her up, letting her look closer. After coming down, Harley touched her chin and said: "I guess the players in this room found a way to jam the cage."

"Jammed?"

"That's right. When the elevator was rising, they dialed the disk back. The pulley block was jammed, the cage couldn't go up, and it left traces while rubbing on the disk."

"But in the end, all six groups of players arrived, which proves that someone solved the situation of the cage being jammed." Harley immediately looked around, and then said, "There is an employee passage around here, and it's not far, otherwise it's impossible for people to arrive so quickly."

"Do you mean the speed of the employees arriving is fast enough?" Pamela asked.

"That's right. This room must not be far from the place where they put the employees. Otherwise, it would take a long time to rush here and repair the mechanism to wait for six groups of people to arrive. But in fact, we didn't wait long at all, which proves it's not far."

"So what does this prove?"

"It proves that the design method of their employee passage is probably the shortest straight line between two points." Harley snapped her fingers, "They won't connect multiple rooms with straight passages like normal architectural design, making it like a maze, but directly one starting point connecting countless endpoints."

"Let me think, a bit like a sea urchin?"

"That's right. The central location where employees gather, and the employee passage, are like a sea urchin. One center, countless spikes, and the ends of the spikes connect to the game rooms."

"Why design it this way?"

"Cutting corners." Harley shrugged, "Normally, we wouldn't walk the employee passage. The observation designer probably just designed it casually where we couldn't see. And although this construction method is unscientific and wasteful, employees walk very fast, which can save time."

"I understand, it's not the will of the company in the plot, but those realm administrators are lazy. I'll give a bad review when I go out."

"Hiss..." Greed gasped.

Pamela and Harley turned their heads violently. Greed hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was already too late. The two people's senses were very sensitive, especially Harley, who could be considered a small opening after being excited. She immediately walked to the wall where Greed was located.

Harley gently pressed her ear against the wall. Greed held his breath, and the whole room was quiet for a while. Pamela asked: "Did you hear anything?"

"Not yet." Harley said, "But maybe we can find a way to open this. Will there be a door or something?"

"Even if there is, I'm afraid only the organizer can control it, maybe using a remote control or something." Pamela shook her head, obviously not thinking of any way.

Harley also had no clue, so she turned around in this room to see if there were any other clues. Looking at this, she found that several floor tiles were different from usual, especially after being soaked in water, the gaps were ridiculously large. She pried them open with a crowbar and found Andrew's hiding place.

However, Harley didn't investigate the plot clues for the first time, but cheered: "Great, it can really be pried open!"

She directly carried the crowbar and walked towards the side wall, swung the crowbar and smashed it violently, shouting in a high-pitched and excited tone: "Here's Johnny!" ===== CHAPTER 4662 =====
