Cataclysm King

Chapter 17 The Mechanical Clown
Ji Xun looked around quickly. This is a mechanical-style secret room.

In addition to their cage, there are two other iron cages.

There are two people locked in each cage.

Inside an iron cage are acquaintances, the bald captain of the Blackwater mercenary who escaped before and one of his subordinates.

In the other iron cage are two strangers in black suits, one old and one young.

They didn't even wear gas masks, so that people could clearly see the arrogance on the youth's face and the humbleness in the old man's expression.

Chu Jiu recognized the identities of the two, and whispered: "The fourth young master of Cao's family, the governor of Innocence City."

"Oh?"

Ji Xun frowned, and murmured to himself: "It seems that these two guys were the ones who triggered the hidden plot in the different-dimensional space before."

Compared to the bewildered look of the two mercenaries, the master and servant obviously came prepared, their expressions were indifferent, as if they were expecting something.

And I haven't seen any traces of the two of them along the way, so naturally they came from some special way.

So it is not difficult to speculate that these two guys are the culprits for the sudden increase in the difficulty of space.

Seeing the appearance of Ji Xun's two newcomers, the bald mercenaries were also dumbfounded: These two guys are still alive?
And the four young masters of the Cao family were a little surprised when they saw Ji Xun and Ji Xun. With such a difficulty in space, it is already surprising that there are two survivors, but now there are still two.

But they didn't care after just a glance, their attention was not on who, but on something else.

It looked like it was about to play some game.

Once everyone arrives, the game begins.

At this moment, the sound of "creaking" and "creaking" gear friction sounded, and the six people looked at it together.

A hole suddenly opened in the center of the iron plate in the center of the three iron cages, and a rusty mechanical clown rose from the bottom.

Clown hat, funny red nose, and that crooked smiley face.

The red and blue paint has faded, and there are mottled rust everywhere, leaving traces of time everywhere.

"Clown"

When Ji Xun saw this weird mechanical clown, an inexplicable kindness flashed across his eyes.

It has been here for many, many years, lonely, long years, alone, waiting for someone to come here.

Like looking in a mirror, Ji Xun seemed to see himself, and felt the same loneliness.

The clown's feet are a spring, which makes it shake his head, which is indescribably weird.

Just when everyone was looking at this strange mechanical clown, it came back to life, Jie Jie laughed and said: "Welcome to the 'clown's frightful feast'. The following is the last level of the game, as long as you can pass, you can left alive."

Full of playful and eerie mechanical sounds.

Hearing that they could go out, the six people in the iron cage had different expressions.

No one thought this final level would be easy.

And at this moment, the fourth young master of the Cao family seemed anxious to find out something, and asked, "I want to know, is the 'Catastrophe' here?"

He's been preparing for that for so long, and he's about to go out now, and he hasn't seen the shadow yet, so he naturally wants to ask.

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun and the two also looked over.

This is at least very cryptic.

If Ji Xun and the others hadn't read those files before, they wouldn't even know what he meant by the "source of catastrophe".

Ji Xun clearly remembered that there was such a passage in the file: "On May 1141, 5 in the imperial calendar, the 'S-class catastrophe source' was unsealed, and the research began."

The source of the catastrophe in the entire bunker is actually the "source of catastrophe".

What was even more unexpected was that the mechanical clown actually responded: "Of course. The person who finally clears the level will naturally get the epic source card."

The clown directly revealed what the source of the catastrophe was.

It's not surprising that Ji Xun still has the final level, but this clown seems to be a wise NPC?

Therefore, this seems to be the final boss that does not require killing monsters.

But he instinctively felt that this level would be more difficult.

While speaking, the clown's expression showed an indescribable evil and joking, "However, only the living are qualified to know the truth~"

Hearing this, the fourth young master of the Cao family had a playful expression, obviously waiting for this result.

Ji Xun didn't know what an "epic source card" was.

The two mercenaries didn't seem to have heard of it either, and their faces were blank.

But Chu Jiu on the side obviously knew it, and she murmured in shock: "There really is!"

Because he doesn't know what a source card is, Ji Xun has no interest in any source card for the time being.

He carefully looked at the layout in front of him.

The three iron cages were finished in the shape of glyphs, glanced at the top of the head, and at the same time as the clown appeared, rows of iron spikes also showed their sharpness.

The iron cage was completely locked, and there was no possibility of forcibly escaping.

In other words, when the iron spike fell, the six people in the cage would die.

The last level is not so easy.

As soon as the mechanical clown finished speaking, a platform slowly rose from the three iron cages, on which was placed a colored revolver that looked like a toy gun.

The clown's piercing voice sounded again.

"The last level of the game is called Roulette of Fortune."

"Please listen to the rules of the game carefully."

"1. There is a bullet in the revolver in front of you. This is the only way to leave the space. Only by firing can you leave; 2. You can only shoot one shot at each other at a time, and then take turns. Until someone dies, the living leave. 3. The chainsaw above your heads will drop one meter every 15 seconds, that is to say, if you have not made a decision about life or death after 1 minute, you will all be stabbed into a sieve.”

"Please follow the rules of the game, or you will all die."

"Okay, now the game begins!"

Only by killing your teammates can you get out alive?

Sure enough, the last level is the hardest.

Ji Xun pondered those game rules carefully, with a confused look in his eyes.

This level, the test is: human nature.

The moment the mechanical clown finished speaking, the bald mercenary in the cage snatched the revolver in his hand like lightning.

Intuition told him that no matter what the current situation was, it was best to hold the initiative in his own hands.

The other two cages, Ji Xun and Chu Jiu, did not move.

The fourth young master of the Cao family and the old man did not change either.

Obviously, they all felt that this level was not as simple as it seemed.

They are all waiting.

Waiting to find another way to break the game.

Another point, they are all waiting, waiting for the bald two to try the rules of the game first.

However, shortly after the clown announced the start of the game, there was a piercing sound of "click" metal friction, and a large part of the iron spikes on the top of their heads fell rapidly, reminding them to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise everyone would die.

The death threat was on top of his head, and the bald mercenary didn't realize that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He held up the revolver in his hand, after all, he couldn't bear the fear of death in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Brother, I'm sorry!"

Then decisively pulled the trigger.

"Crack."

There was a crisp sound from the impact of the hammer, and the body of the mercenary on the opposite side trembled suddenly.

However, no bullets were fired.

Empty gun!
At this time, it is not over.

The bald-headed shot was empty for the first time, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, and he pulled the trigger decisively again to fire the second shot.

Ji Xun, not far away, watched this scene of brothers killing each other with great interest.

This bald head's cruelty and cunning have already been seen before.His teammates in the same cage didn't expect that the captain, who was regarded as a life and death brother, wanted to kill him?
However, the strange thing was that no matter how hard the bald head tried, the trigger couldn't be pulled.

At this time, the colored revolver disappeared in his hand and appeared on the table again.

The mercenary on the opposite side snatched it in his hand, his eyes were fierce and determined.Since you shot first, don't blame me!
He pointed at the bald head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Crack."

Fate is like a clown who likes to trick people.

Empty gun again.

Rotate again.

The bald mercenary heard the gunshot for a moment, as if his soul trembled.

When he came back to his senses, he was not dead, and while he was ecstatic, he quickly grabbed the revolver.

As if racing against death, he didn't give his teammates a chance to react, and pulled the trigger decisively for the second time.

This time, with a bang, flames spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and the mercenary on the opposite side fell down in response.

When the bald head saw this, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he gasped heavily.After a moment of stunned, the ecstasy of the rest of his life appeared on his face.

The ecstasy of picking up a life from the god of death made him laugh wildly: "Hahaha"

But at this moment, a distorted light door appeared on the corpse opposite, and the bald head also saw Enlightenment, so he could go out.

"I can really escape from this ghost place!"

The bald head was ecstatic.

Along the way, the cloud of death has been hanging over his head. At this moment, this damned different-dimensional space is finally over.

But human nature is what it is.

Without worrying about his life, he thought of something else.

The mechanical clown just mentioned the "source of catastrophe" and "source card".

All kinds of signs indicate that there is obviously some treasure hidden in this different-dimensional space.

With greed together, he immediately felt that it was a pity that he came here after a narrow escape.

However, just for a moment of hesitation, a cold and disdainful ridicule came from beside my ear: "Why, do you still want to stay here?"

The fourth young master of the Cao family saw what the bald head was thinking, and warned coldly: "If you hesitate for a second, I can guarantee that my Cao family will remove your Blackwater mercenary group from the city of innocence!"

"."

This sentence seemed to be more threatening than the revolver just now, the bald man trembled in fright when he heard his eyelids twitch violently.

In an instant, he understood what this "Cao family" meant.

This young man is the "behind-the-scenes boss" who hired their Blackwater Mercenary Group.

Although he didn't know the identity of this person before, but the head of the group bowed down to talk in front of this boss, so it could only be the Cao family from the governor's mansion in the upper city.

If this person is dead, the threat is not to be feared.

But two live one, whether it is the young man or the housekeeper, he will definitely be able to get out alive.

At that time, even if I really got some treasure reward, I didn't have the life to enjoy it.

The bald head is also the master who sees the wind and the wind. After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Master, we don't mean that. I just want to ask you if you want it"

Fourth Young Master Cao interrupted him and said disdainfully, "Get lost!"

"Yes."

The bald-headed mercenary wanted to flatter him, but upon hearing this, he could only smile awkwardly, turn around and leave.

He walked up to the Twisted Light Gate, and disappeared immediately.

You can really get out by killing your companions.

The remaining four witnessed the scene of life and death teammates killing each other with their own eyes.

I also understand that if you follow the rules of the game, you can indeed survive.

However, without thinking about it, he was delayed for a moment, and with a "bang", the iron spike on the top of his head fell again.

There are more than [-] seconds left, if you don't do anything, the people in the cage will die together.

Ji Xun was not in a hurry, watching with great interest how the master and servant were going to choose.

And Chu Jiu didn't grab the revolver, as if he was thinking about something.

Neither the master nor the servant moved.

Everyone guessed this level, there must be other options.

After a few breaths, Fourth Young Master Cao picked up the revolver and began to observe.

The gun seems to be fine, but I always feel that something is wrong.

The old man on the opposite side had no intention of snatching it, so he stood quietly.

But he didn't shoot, he observed carefully, and then looked at the mechanical clown not far away, thoughtfully.

After a few breaths, the iron thorn on the top of the head fell off again.

The old man finally couldn't help urging: "Young master, shoot quickly, or it will be too late. It won't work this time, and you can try again next time you come in."

The crunching iron spike above the head seemed to be a countdown to life, urging the four of them to make a decision as soon as possible.

As a servant of the Cao family, he already has the consciousness to die.

Is that the only way?
Although Cao Sishao realized that this method was probably wrong, he had no choice.

Indeed, as the old servant said, if it doesn't work this time, then come in again.

Anyway, I have almost figured out this different-dimensional space, and I can slowly ponder it when I go out.

With the same thought, Fourth Young Master Cao also made a decision, decisively lifted the gun and pulled the trigger.

"Crack!"

Empty gun.

The rule of the game is that you can only shoot one shot at the opponent.

This time it was the old man who picked up the revolver.

Ji Xun and Chu Jiu also watched to see if there would be a scene where the servant killed the master.

However, what the two of them didn't expect was that the old man picked up the revolver and didn't aim at the opposite side, but shot himself in the head without hesitation.

"Kacha", another empty gun.

The old man put the firearm on the table in front of him, and urged: "Master, shoot quickly."

suicide?

Seeing this scene, Ji Xun saw this scene with solemn expressions.

Whether it is stupid loyalty or what, loyalty is worthy of respect.

If the old man made such a choice, then the young and old must be able to survive.

It can be regarded as obeying the rules of the game.

His old servant chose to sacrifice himself, but Young Master Cao didn't change his face. He took the revolver and pulled the trigger again.

"Oh!"

Bullets sprayed from the muzzle.

A blood hole appeared between the old man's eyebrows, and he fell to the ground.

Distorted light gates also surfaced on the corpses.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Fourth Young Master Cao's expression remained calm.

He didn't look much, and didn't choose to leave, but turned to look at Ji Xun and the two in the cage.

Now, it's your turn.
