227 William Smith

"No! We can't get down to the bottom floor at all! "A man was holding his injured arm, sitting on the ground, panting.

There were already six or seven people lying on the ground in front of me.

The people who had just started going down still didn't come up, and it seems that they had been confirmed to have been left behind.

By this time, almost an hour had passed.

It's been so long, why haven't you seen precautions?

William was thinking that the people lying in front of him did not listen to his dissuasion, but instead listened to the guy named Bill next to him.

William wondered what kind of charm Bill had to make almost half of the people obey him in such a short period of time.

"Joe, Joe!" Bill stood in front of him.

He soon realizes that it was him who Bill was calling.

"What's wrong?"

"There's no way to even get to the next floor, we're still going to be stuck here." Bill said. "And we're going to lose even food, and we'll end up starving to death here."

"We had to have something to get our hands on." William looked at the stun baton in Bill's hand.

He somewhat understood why those people might do his bidding.

In the entire layer, the only thing that seems to be a weapon is in his hands, not to mention, there is a strong physique, no matter how you look at it, it has the feeling of forcibly deterring people.

"You mean that?" Bill raised his stun baton.

It seems that in addition to the two things he feels, his IQ is also online.

William nodded.

"Take it." Bill handed him the stun baton in his hand.

Don't...

William didn't reach for it, he looked at Bill, wondering what the other man was thinking.

He noticed that behind Bill, the man with glasses who had spoken to him was shaking his head slightly.

"What you have in your hand, it should be held by the right person." William blurted out.

"Oh... Tell me, then, what do we want to do with all these things? Bill retracted his stun baton in his hand, and William noticed that Bill had aimed the tip of the stun baton at him.

This man is not simple!

"The standard configuration of each layer should be a T-shaped stun baton." William pondered, "This building, controlled by artificial intelligence, I don't know if you have found out, the cell where we are being held is active. ”

"I already knew that this damn artificial intelligence was there to confuse us."

"No, a matrix active grid."

"What?"

"This building is a matrix of artificial intelligence, what does it rely on to provide energy supply? Wind, sunlight, water, and so on. ”

"I've been in for a short time, is there a long time here?" William asked loudly.

"I—" A hand reached out in the crowd.

"You! Come here! Bill was holding a stun baton, and the man came through the crowd.

The man was very thin, with a big head and short limbs, and looked like he was malnourished.

"How long have you been here?"

"Three years, five months, and seven days." The man said accurately.

"It's been long enough, you... It's because—"

"Let's start with what you're going to ask!" Bill looked a little grumpy.

William looked at Bill. Finally, I can't hold back my true self.

"What's your name?" William asked.

The man glanced at Bill in horror and whispered. "Church, Church Raphael."

"Church, why are you here?"

"I... I sell information. ”

"Information... I see. William nodded, selling information, it is those extremely valuable information, it sounds good, it is a spy, it is a spy, it is more difficult to say, it is more powerful than a double agent, because he only looks at the reliability and value of information.

Looking at Church's appearance, no one would believe that such a person was so powerful.

In other words, such a person is the most pathetic, because if he is sent here, it is very likely that he will not know who framed him.

"Church, can you tell me anything about this building that you know?"

"I... I really know the information about this building. Church looked at him cautiously, as well as Bill behind him.

Everyone was shocked by Church's answer, and at some point, everyone quietly gathered around the three of them.

"The location of this building is extremely mysterious, I have been inquiring many times and have not been able to know, I will tell everything I know, I just want to get out!" Church grabbed William's sleeve and trembled his hands, making William suddenly feel pity for the person in front of him.

"Tell me what you know!" Bill grabbed him by the collar and lifted it up with ease, keeping him away from William.

"Well, I said, this AI-controlled cell is being carried out by the United States, Belgium, Israel and South Korea, and China is responsible for the civil construction, but the companies involved have no way of knowing. The building took five years to build, and it is said that the main investor is the United States. This is also the only thing that I approve of through all considerations. Only the United States can go out of their way to build such a prison, and don't forget the Maria! ”

Church said loudly, his emotions suddenly soaring. "We all thought that this building needed a strong energy supply, but it wasn't! This prison, it doesn't need so much energy supply, it is completely self-sufficient. Why are we being held here? You! You! And you! Why are you being held here? ”

"Because of betrayal," Bill said in a calm voice.

"Because of the frame-up."

"Competition..."

"Me too..."

"I'm also a betrayal..."

People are babbling.

"If that's all there is to it, then you may not believe the facts I said..."

"I believe it." William suddenly interjected, he saw that when Church spoke, everyone did not interject, their attention was on Church, and he could have escaped from Bill's side at this time.

However, he also wanted to know what Church wanted to say, although until this time, Church's words were a little disorganized and never expressed.

Church had been there for too long, and there were some things he wanted to know better.

"This prison, it eats people!" Church's voice trembled.

Everyone looked at each other, and Church looked at Bill and then at William.

William didn't react for a moment.

Cannibalism?

"You don't believe me? Don't you believe me? Church lunged at William again, and Bill didn't pick him up again this time.

"Calm down." William grabbed Church with both hands, only to find that the other man looked thin, and the strength in his hands was completely impossible for him to tear apart.

"I believe it!" Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd, and this voice saved William.

Church immediately let go of him, "I just believe that someone believes me!" ”

"This building is indeed cannibalistic." It was the man with the glasses who had handed William's glasses earlier.

"You are?" Bill turned his attention and looked at the well-mannered-looking man in glasses in confusion.

"O'Connor Joyce, one of the designers of the Zero... Or rather, one of the designers of the building. O'Connor plucked his eye, and he gently wiped the only spectacle lens with the corner of his coat.

Everyone was shocked again, even Church, who rushed first, grabbing O'Connor by the collar. "I'm going out! Let me out! ”

"I'm going out too!" People rushed to O'Connor as if they had gone mad and found a savior.

"Stop!" Bill grabbed the man beside him, like a brave man struggling across the rapids, struggling to make his way to O'Connor.

William was even squeezed to the periphery.

He immediately realized that the reason why O'Connor Joyce would ask him how he had come up with the idea of doing that was that he knew the structure of the building, but he hadn't done it.

Spy? Still is? Not like.

William looked at the crowd and poked his head out, O'Connor's face turned purple until Bill rushed over, stun baton in hand, and shouted angrily, O'Connor's face gradually returned to its previous miserable white.

"Shut the fuck up!" Bill yelled. He grabbed Church by the back, ignoring Church's screams and threw him into the crowd.

His voice faded away, and only Church continued to hiss, his voice persistently hissing. "Let me out..."

William watched as Bill was looking down at O'Connor, who was gasping for air.

"What's going on with this prison eating people?" Bill held his stun baton in his hand and faced O'Connor like a judge.

"Ahem," O'Connor coughed a few times, he cleared his throat, "The concept of this prison design is very simple, just those who come in, don't think about going out again." ”

"What do you mean?" Bill's tone was cold.

"The reason why we are still alive is because we are Zero, which is this prison that is completely controlled by artificial intelligence." O'Connor was completely relieved. "We are the main source of energy that drives this prison to run."
