Chapter 1096: Empty Way of Life (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

Everyone in the room was surprised, because what Sasha said had a weird and crazy feeling...but upon closer thought, it made sense.

This place is called "The Island of Death" and is also known as the "Land of Eternal Life". The words "death" and "eternal life" are always mentioned together, even in Vincent's narrative... So in this strange world, perhaps the dead end is the way to life, and perhaps only in those places that symbolize death can we find a way to survive.

"I looked into Vincent's eyes. His expression became quite complicated after what happened. There was panic, fear, and a sense of powerlessness in his eyes as his spiritual world was on the verge of being shattered but he had to force himself to accept it. But at that moment, I caught a glimpse of madness." Chu Tianjiao smiled bitterly. "Yeah, when Sasha said that, I thought he was crazy, but maybe in this crazy world, we need to think like a madman? I always forced myself to stay calm, but facing a creature like the white humanoid that transcends common sense, is it really useful to stay calm? All my past experience and knowledge can't help us escape from such a desperate situation."

No one in the room was an eyewitness of the incident. Even Nono, who had a profile, only tried his best to recreate the scene in his mind after hearing Chu Tianjiao's description. As mixed-race people, they subconsciously put themselves in Chu Tianjiao's perspective... But Sasha was different. Sasha was an ordinary person through and through. He knew nothing about the dragon clan. After experiencing all this in this world, his psychological endurance was repeatedly exceeded. However, his childhood experiences and his career in the special forces also gave Sasha superhuman willpower. After his worldview collapsed, he thought like a madman, but was able to maintain basic logic.

It seems that Chu Tianjiao's decision to never give up on Sasha was really the right one. His admiration for this Russian man finally saved his life.

"I admit that I was frightened by Sasha at the time. I quickly thought about the feasibility of Sasha's words in my mind. In the end, I found that Sasha's suggestion was the most likely one." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "Because this island is empty except for these coffins. We can't find any place like a way out or an exit. Only inside these coffins are separate spaces. And when Sasha said this, Vincent's words popped up in my mind. He said that the exit of this world is hidden next to the white figure. Whether in the painting of the 'Isle of Death' or when we saw the reflection of these islands on the 'Yamal', didn't the white figure stand right in the center of these black coffins?"

Everyone in the room showed a look of sudden enlightenment. Indeed, if there was anything next to the white figure, it would only be these black coffins. Using the process of elimination, this was actually the only option left, but it was difficult for normal people to think in this direction.

"But even if Sasha is right, we still have a problem." Chu Tianjiao said, "There are so many coffins here, which one is the exit to the Nibelungen? It's impossible for every one of them to be the exit, right? It's too ridiculous for us to just jump into a coffin and be teleported back to the Yamal or to some corner of the Arctic Ocean."

This is indeed a difficult question. If you jump from the Yamal into the Arctic Ocean and sink to the Nibelungen, you can still see your reflection in the sea water... But how can you escape from the Nibelungen from the coffin? Do you really have to die once and travel from the underworld to the real world?

This is even more ridiculous.

Sure enough, only crazy people can have a chance of survival in this crazy world. Chu Tianjiao and Sasha are not crazy enough.

"The exit should be in one of the ten coffins in the middle." Nuonuo suddenly spoke, she looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "This is the most reasonable guess. Although the reasonable thinking mode is not applicable to the Nibelungen, if I were the owner of the Nibelungen, I would probably set the exit in a place where I can see and touch. And didn't Vincent say that the exit is next to the white figure? According to the distribution on the island, only those ten coffins are truly next to the white figure."

"I thought of this at the time, and in the end my goal was almost locked on those eight coffins." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Although the scope has been narrowed, it is still difficult to make a decision. These coffins are of different sizes, some are in the middle and some are around, some are open and some are closed. With a one in ten probability, our chances of survival are still very slim."

"I looked at Sasha, who was gritting his teeth, as if he was struggling with something. I patted him on the shoulder and told him to speak out whatever he thought. We had already come this far, and if it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have thought of the exit. It might be hidden in those coffins." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha turned his head to look at me, and I saw the madness in his eyes again. I realized that Sasha's next words might shock me again."

"What did he say?" Chu Zihang was quite curious about what this Russian man was thinking.

"Sasha looked at me and said in a very low voice, 'Why don't we try all the coffins?'" Chu Tianjiao imitated Sasha's tone at the time and repeated the sentence in a very low voice.

There was silence in the room for a long time, and everyone's expression was very interesting. After a while, Caesar spoke first.

"This guy is absolutely a lunatic!" Caesar couldn't help but curse.

"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but this guy is definitely a fucking philosopher." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain, "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. He must be the most staunch Marxist-Leninist in Russia!"

"He..." Chu Zihang paused, and finally said, "He's quite smart."

"Who said it wasn't true? When we were on the Yamal, I didn't realize that Sasha had such an...unique mind." Chu Tianjiao sighed, "I was indeed frightened by Sasha again at that time. I looked at his expression and realized that he was serious. I gritted my teeth and agreed to his proposal without thinking. I said, 'Let's do it!' I don't know why, but I always seem to have an inexplicable trust in this Russian man I just met."

"It's not that I disagree with the Russian's idea." Nono looked at Chu Tianjiao, "But if you want to put this idea into practice, it should be quite difficult, right?" "I only thought about it after I agreed. It's really hard to achieve. It's not that lying in a coffin is unlucky or uncomfortable. It's not difficult to get into those normal human-sized coffins. The difficult part is those super-large coffins that are dozens of meters long." Chu Tianjiao said, "They are dozens of meters long, more than ten meters wide, and nearly ten meters high. Those huge coffins are buried deep underground. Sasha was seriously injured and it's inconvenient for him to move. I can guarantee that I won't get hurt if I go down at this height, but the difficulty is how can I get up?"

The people in the room looked at each other, no one could give an answer to this question. The vertical height was nearly ten meters, as high as three or four floors. Even if the inside of the coffin was rough instead of smooth, the world's top parkour master wearing spiked shoes with the greatest friction would definitely not be able to escape from such an exaggerated drop... unless he could fly.

“Just when we were at a dead end again, Sasha suddenly took out the harpoon from his back and handed it to me.” Chu Tianjiao said, “Sasha told me that the rope of this harpoon can be nearly ten meters long when stretched to its limit, which should be about the same depth as those coffins. Even if it’s a little different, a person’s height and jumping ability are enough to make up for it.”

“Fuck, is this guy Doraemon?” Lu Mingfei blurted out, “If he needs ideas, he has them. If he needs tools, he has tools. This guy is simply amazing!”

Everyone else in the room had the same idea. Sasha had played a significant role in the previous island's crisis, but they didn't expect that in the final desperate situation, this guy would go all out.

"I took the harpoon from Sasha and looked at him deeply. At that moment, an idea popped up in my mind. If I could escape from this damn place alive, I would definitely try my best to take this man out with me, even if it cost me my life." Chu Tianjiao said, "But Sasha obviously misunderstood my look. This method of using the harpoon is feasible, but we must leave someone above the coffin to support. Sasha thought I didn't trust him, so he took the initiative to offer to explore the four giant coffins."

"Let alone anything else, this guy is really loyal, just like me!" Finkel said this out of the blue, but no one paid any attention.

"Of course I won't let Sasha take charge of this kind of physical work. Although I have little physical strength left, Sasha's injuries are obviously more serious than mine." Chu Tianjiao said, "We decided to start exploring from the four largest coffins. I will go down into one of the coffins, and Sasha will drop the rope of the harpoon, and he will be responsible for receiving it from above."

"The good news is that the length of the rope is just right. The bad news is that there is nothing inside the giant coffin. I explored almost every part of the huge space, but I didn't find any mechanism or any place similar to an exit. There was nothing inside. I walked around quickly for a few times, but found nothing." Chu Tianjiao said, "I still can't tell what the black inner wall of the coffin is made of. It's harder than I thought. Stepping on it is like stepping on a thick steel plate. I don't know if it's my illusion, but I felt suffocated not long after I stayed in there, as if there was really a breath of death enveloping me. Although I know that the so-called breath of death may just be my psychological effect, at that moment I really felt that breathing became difficult."

"Maybe it's because the coffin is located in a relatively deep place, and the air inside is relatively thin, so there is a lack of oxygen." After saying these two sentences, Nono suddenly paused, "No, is there such a thing as air in this Nibelungen?"

"I don't know. I can breathe normally, but I am surrounded by a strong feeling of suffocation, as if I might lose consciousness at any time. It is dark here, and the depth of nearly ten meters seems to block out even the skylight. Since there is nothing under the coffin, there is no need for me to stay here all the time." Chu Tianjiao said, "I shook the rope hanging from the harpoon, and Sasha above quickly pulled me up. After seeing the light of day again, my dizziness gradually disappeared, and I realized that the feeling under the coffin was not my illusion. If I really stay there for a long time, I may never get up again."

"In fact, many times, psychological effects can also cause strong physical reactions," said Chu Zihang.

"That's definitely not just a psychological effect, I'm absolutely sure of that." Chu Tianjiao said, "My experience with Sasha later verified this idea again."

"Then Sasha and I explored all three of the largest coffins, except for the sealed one. I went down to explore while Sasha supported me from above. I also felt a death-like breath in the other two coffins, a strong feeling of suffocation." Chu Tianjiao said, "So this time I sped up my exploration and shook the rope before my brain felt dizzy. Sasha's movements were also very fast, but I found nothing in these coffins."

"So the exit is probably hidden in those small coffins," Nono said, "unless it happens to be that huge sealed coffin."

"The probability is low, but we can't rule it out." Chu Zihang nodded and whispered, "If this is the case, it means there is still no way out in this Nibelungen."

"But Uncle Chu finally escaped." Jiude Aki said, "This means that the exit of Nibelungen should be in those open small coffins, right?"

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth subconsciously, but he quickly frowned and closed his mouth. He glanced at Chu Tianjiao, but still didn't say much.

"Then Sasha and I also entered those small coffins, but it was useless whether we lay down or sat down in them. Nothing happened." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said, "Sasha also tried to lie down in one of the relatively spacious small coffins. After a while, his face turned visibly pale. He opened his mouth and made a weak and feeble sound. Seeing this, I quickly pulled him out. After Sasha came out of the coffin, he gasped for breath, like a person who almost drowned."

"Did he feel it too?" Nuonuo looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked in a low voice, "That inexplicable breath of death?"

"Yes, and Sasha felt it more violently than I did. After pulling him out of the coffin, I lay on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. It was much weaker than usual." Chu Tianjiao said, "That's why I said I am sure that the breath of death I felt in the coffin was real, because Sasha also felt it, and his symptoms were so serious that they were not somatized due to psychological effects."
