Although it looks eerie from the outside, the inside of the Dark Tower is exceptionally bright, with dozens of incandescent lights neatly lined up on the ceiling, illuminating the icy steel passages below. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to prevent someone from escaping from prison, Lin Chi noticed that there was a camera in the passage of this prison that was almost less than five meters, and an infrared sensor device and a vibration detector were also installed inside, which would trigger the alarm even if a mouse ran out.

When Lin Chi came to the front of the "detection net" composed of red rays, the sensing device was turned off for a short time, and the lights disappeared without a trace.

"Ha, is it because of this pass?" He looked at the "Dark Tower Customer ID Card" in his hand.

- With this pass, you can turn off the automatic detection device inside the Dark Tower, and the criminals who are being held here must have gone to great lengths to get their hands on it.

Lin Chi led the girl through the closed light network, and just two steps later, the device started again. And at this moment, in the nearest cell beside him, an angry roar came out:

"Give me what you have in your hands!"

Hearing this, Lin Chi stood in front of the cell door and observed the scene inside with great interest.

The walls and cell doors inside the Dark Tower, all cast from silver alloy, appear to be able to withstand direct fire from tank guns.

Above the cell door, a small window less than 0.5 meters wide was installed, which was divided into several pieces by a fence, and an angry face appeared behind the window, with a hideous red tattoo painted on his face, as if the skin had been cut open to reveal blood vessels.

"Oh? Do you want this? Lin Chi picked up the ID card and shook it in front of the window.

The other party's brown eyes widened, as if they were about to spew fire, but unlike what the ID card item introduction said, this guy didn't perform any "killing people through the window" stunt, just continued to bang on the door from the inside, looking stupid.

Lin Chi stared at this person for a few seconds, and did not see any words marked as special or hero-level NPCs, realizing that the other party was just an "ordinary criminal", he put away his ID card and said with a smile: "Goodbye." ”

There was already a mentally unstable guy like Crazy Ivan in the team, and Lin Chi didn't want to hire an ordinary NPC who was also a madman. Of course, if it's a special or hero-level NPC, even if it's crazy, it's acceptable......

Lin Chi walked through the first floor of the dark tower with the girl, observing the occupants of the cell—it was more like a mental hospital than a prison, filled with all kinds of "demons and monsters", and the aura of madness lingered in the circular corridor.

But...... Throughout the first floor, Lin Chi couldn't find any characters of interest.

Many of the cells here are empty, and the remaining ones are also holding "ordinary criminals", although they look fierce, they do not meet Lin Chi's criteria for selecting talents this time.

"What about the special characters you said you were talking about?" He complained casually.

"I don't know...... the girl grabbed the corner of her skirt in a panic: "It's the first time I've been here." ”

"I don't mean to reproach you." Lin Chi smiled and touched the girl's little head soothingly.

Judging from the half-empty cells, the prison was supposed to be holding many eligible criminals, but now they have all disappeared. Although it may be that they were all hired by the players, Lin Chi didn't think that on the second day of the game, someone would earn enough money to hire so many NPCs.

So, where did all these criminals go?

Lin Chi walked up the stairs while thinking, and happened to meet a guard going downstairs, so he took out a hundred dollars and stuffed it into the other party's hand, and asked, "Where have all the criminals here?" They can't all be sold, right? ”

Due to Lin Chi's high prestige, his questioning process was also exceptionally smooth. The guard replied almost immediately:

"No, we've only sold a few people......"

"And where did the other criminals go?" Lin Chi continued to ask.

"I remember about three months ago, a strange man in a brown cloak came over, and it was strange that the warden actually took the man to inspect the prison. The man took a lot of prisoners with him before leaving, saying that he wanted to 'make it more entertaining'. We don't know what he's talking about......" the guard scratched his head.

"Oh, I see." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

- It sounds like the prisoner here was released by a cloaked guy, and while the guards describe the traits as a bit like "Frankenstein", Frankenstein has only been in the game for two days, so he probably wouldn't have appeared three months ago......

What is the origin of this "man in cloak" that the guards are talking about? Could it be a special quest NPC, or something else? What does this cloaked man mean by "increasing entertainment"?

Realizing that I had not only failed to solve the problem, but had more questions. Lin Chi sighed and pulled the girl up to the second floor of the Dark Tower.

――The third full-band scan is just around the corner, and now is not the time to solve the puzzle, so after taking out the Frankenstein, who poses the greatest threat to you, you will have time to investigate the mystery in the game.

After taking a turn on the second floor of the Dark Tower, he still didn't see any special or hero-level NPCs. As on the first floor, the cells were much empty, and it was clear that many prisoners had been taken away by the cloaked man.

Lin Chi, who was full of question marks, stepped on the third floor in a daze, and the prisoners on this floor were even more scarce, and there were only a few people left.

But this time, he finally found the "talent" he needed in a cell at the end of the corridor:

Unlike ordinary cells, the interior of this cell is noticeably larger, and the interior is luxuriously renovated to look like a bedroom for a wealthy family.

The room was equipped with all kinds of appliances, the coffee table was full of flowers and snacks, there were a few Cuban cigars next to the ashtray, and most violently, there was a blonde beauty lying on the double bed in the back......

"Are you here to jail or on vacation?" Lin Chi smiled at the man sitting at the desk with his back to him.

“……”

The other party didn't answer immediately, just turned his head and looked at Lin Chi in silence.

It was a gray-haired man with a tired face, a shabby jacket and heavy dark circles under his eyes. His years of not seeing the light of day made his complexion as pale as that of a nameless girl, and with his scarlet eyes, he looked a bit like a vampire.

As he turned his head, a red skull and a text prompt popped up, indicating the person's identity:

"Executioner", a hero-like character (boss level), recruitable (quest required).

"If I go, I can still recruit boss-level characters?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He was still wondering how Frankenstein recruited a boss-level character like the mechanical ninja "Gray Fox", but now that this problem has finally been solved......

Some of the boss-level characters in this game can also be recruited!

Realizing that he was facing a boss that could be recruited, Lin Chi was also immediately interested, and asked bluntly, "Are you interested in joining my camp?" ”

The man known as the executioner still did not speak, but shook his head tiredly, looking almost like a spokesperson who "felt hollowed out".

"How is this kind of character?" Lin Chi complained.

For him, this kind of stuffy gourd is a more difficult character to deal with than a deranged madman, and in the case that the other party has not given him a task, Lin Chi has no idea what to do to recruit this person.

It seems that if you want to recruit this guy, you need to find another way......

When Lin Chizheng was thinking about it, he only heard a miserable scream coming from the direction of the corridor, which sounded like it was coming from the first floor.

"Huh?"

Before he could speak, the executioner, who had been silent, finally spoke, his voice hoarse and tired, as if he had just woken up:

"It's about to begin."

"Start what?" Lin Chi stared at the man in the cell.

The executioner didn't say anything, but in the lower right corner of Lin Chi's gaze, a warning text suddenly appeared:

- The pre-mission has been completed, and the boss battle "Killer" has been triggered!

The keeper of this dark tower is even more evil than the criminals inside, and the regular entertainment here is to release all the prisoners and hide from the "killers" on the inside of the closed building! Even the outlaws in the Dark Tower tremble when faced with the "killer". Note that the "Killer" will prioritize attacking unseen faces.

"Damn, when did I finish the pre-task?" Lin Chi complained.

Although he complained about this unprepared boss battle, he still opened the briefcase, took out the pistol and held it in his hand:

――It seems that my previous assumption was correct, and in this dangerous area, there is indeed a boss battle hidden!

As the boss fight was triggered, the doors of the Dark Tower were locked, all the security measures inside the building were closed, and the doors of all the cells began to slowly open.

Strangely, none of the prisoners left the cell, and even the tattooed man who had just screamed the most obediently shut his mouth at this time!

"Interested in fighting alongside me?" Lin Chi looked at the executioner who was still sitting at the table.

"Not interested." The other party's answer was simple and crude.

"Okay......" Lin Chi didn't continue to ask, just stared at the other side of the circular corridor vigilantly.

He could feel that the "killer" seemed to have arrived.
