"Oh, I can't do it, take a break, take a break."

After Liang Jingmo finished speaking, he sat down, and no one could pull it up. Qiu Banxia next to him crossed his waist and looked at him with disdain, then turned his head to look at the seemingly endless staircase above his head, and shook his head.

"You're still a man, you have to rest after walking two steps." She sneered, "We haven't even reached half of the total distance, and if we continue like this, let alone ten hours, we won't be there tomorrow." ”

"Not all of them are as good as you, monster girl!"

Liang Jingmo said a word, and then turned to Xiang Nanxing: "Hey, you said something, this path is your choice!" ”

"What can I say......"

Xiang Nanxing carried a complete set of combination firearms for Nangong Qian, and he was slightly out of breath along the way. He tilted his head and thought about it, and finally smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I forgot that there is a person here who usually lacks exercise." ”

"I'm smiling and mending the knife!"

At this time, they had just finished their arduous trek of the twenty-five floors of the office and visit area, and came to the lower part of the sightseeing staircase in the middle section of the "Sycamore". Above them was a staircase that meandered upwards one by one, more than a thousand steps, more than a thousand meters long, spanning a full hundred and seventy meters in height. And the end that is faintly visible in the distance is the destination of their section.

This is the "walking" path that Xiang Nanxing chose.

Soon after Xu Wen said that, Xiang Nanxing immediately stood up and offered to choose the side of the stairs. At that time, Liang Jingmo and Qiu Banxia didn't ask too much, which was tantamount to acquiescence, and Nangong Qian unconditionally supported his choice. Although she was a little confused by this, she also knew that her judgment in this regard was the weakest of the four, and since even the other two did not oppose the proposal, it was enough to show that there must be a reason for it.

But after thinking about it along the way, and looking at the current exhausted state of the three people except for autumn and summer, she still couldn't figure out why Xiang Nanxing would choose such a plan to weaken her physical strength before going to war.

Taking advantage of this break, she directly raised her own questions. However, Xiang Nanxing's answer made her even more incomprehensible.

"Because we're in a hurry, the sooner the game starts, the better." He said.

However, Qiu Banxia nodded when he heard it: "I see, you really noticed." ”

Looking at Nangong Qian, who was still confused, she explained: "Actually, the physical strength you are worried about is not important. In terms of force, even if you play against the host in a state of sufficient physical fitness, the two of them are useless, and you can hardly exert your strength in a small field, the only one as the main combat force is me, and I don't care about this level of consumption, as long as you take a short rest, you can recover. And according to what Xu Wen revealed, the next game should be intellectual, and physical exhaustion is not a big problem. ”

"But no matter how small the consumption is, it may increase the odds of victory." Nangong Qian said, "If you can make them consume a little more......

"Then it could cost time." Qiu Banxia said solemnly, "We really can't afford to wait. ”

"Actually, until now, we can't be sure of the true purpose of the gang on the other side." Xiang Nanxing continued, "At first, I judged that Jiang Lehui, who was expected to return to China to quell the chaos, needed a national broadcast, so he would send someone to stay in the TV tower to ambush us. But now it seems that the TV tower has long been occupied by Xu Wen, who remains neutral, and the three hosts are more like they came with other tasks, just a little later than us. Xu Wen just said that their mission is the opposite of ours, which is to 'spread false news'...... This may sound like the real thing, but is that the final answer? ”

"Taking a step back, even if they were originally here to spread the disinformation, after encountering us, would they adjust the plan on the fly, or would they go as planned? Somehow, it's going to get into a 'just stop us from broadcasting nationally,' and they don't necessarily have to win the game to get there, they just have to make it impossible to start." ”

"So, it's essential to make sure they're under the watchful eye of the game host at all times!" Nangong Qian suddenly realized, "If you take the elevator, they are walking with Xu Wen, and they can't do anything, so they can only obediently report to the starting point of the game." But if they are allowed to go up the stairs alone and no one is watching, they may not be able to reach it for half a day, and they may even turn around and go back and use other methods to destroy the TV tower. No one else was there anyway, and no one could stop them from doing these things. ”

"That's it." Xiang Nanxing nodded, "Although the other party will know that we can't afford to spend time because of this choice, maybe they will play some tricks to delay time in the next games, but this will not be a secret anyway, and it is not an additional exposure of information." And although I am a little tired from taking the stairs, I can control the stop-and-go by myself, and if I distribute my physical strength reasonably like now, I will not be so tired that I can't cope with the challenges that follow. On the other hand, if Xu Wen really stood neutral, he would not let those three guys delay time, so that at least the initiative in time is in our hands. ”

"Is that all?" Liang Jingmo couldn't help but interject. His expression looked a little impatient. All the way, he stopped and stopped, dragging the pace of the team, if you want to say impatient, the other three are obviously more qualified, no matter how he can't take his turn.

However, Xiang Nanxing vaguely understood the reason why he did this.

"If that's your answer, I'll give thirty points at most." Liang Jingmo shook his head, "If you want me to say, if the opponent's purpose is elusive, then you should find a way to figure it out, or try to keep yourself high and adaptable at any time." But for so long on the stairs, we were isolated from the perimeter of the tower, and we didn't know what was going on inside, and even if we knew something was wrong and wanted to go back, it would be too long. The biggest basis for your decision is that the 'abyss' Xu Wen will keep an eye on them, but if you really pin all this on others, expect him to keep an eye on him, and expect him not to make trouble, do you think it's okay? ”

"I've been waiting for you to figure it out for yourself all the way." He sighed, "Now it seems that you still want to be simple. ”

"I think it's fine." Qiu Banxia said lightly, "You just don't know the 'host' to have this kind of thought." ”

"Miss Black Cat, please open your eyes and look around!" Liang Jingmo sneered, "The current Xifeng is simply wrapped in a fog, the cause is unknown, the enemy is unknown, and I don't even know if the royal family you are loyal to is still there, and there is only one princess who has been abandoned in the people for many years and has no name." When the hosts swore allegiance to are gone, how many of them will abide by the original rules? Loyal to the royal family until death, are you sure? ”

"I can't control everyone, at least I will."

"That's just you."

Liang Jingmo said: "Just look at the three who appeared just now, since they came with other tasks, do you guess the tasks on their shoulders will meet the rules of the host?" And along the way, all 'games' will inevitably reveal the will of the designer, and what seems to be fanciful at first glance has never been detached from the reality of our existence. Although this Xu Wen keeps saying that the game is fair and just, who knows what kind of purpose is hidden behind his game? Perhaps this is just a means of luring us to the top, luring the enemy deeper, so that no one can escape. ”

Autumn and summer were silent. Liang Jingmo said this, she naturally thought about it. Now it seems that Xu Wen and the other three are not in the same group, but this is just the appearance, and he never meant to throw himself to his side, but always said that he wanted to stand in a neutral position. It can be understood that he wants to see the wind and steer the rudder, and then choose to take sides after confirming which side wins, but this idea is too unproductive for a top host. Liang Jingmo speculated that there was also a force behind him, which is obviously more reasonable.

But then the situation is complicated. Even if they defeated the three hosts in the game arranged by Xu Wen next, the subsequent development might be a battle between cranes and mussels for the benefit of fishermen. Even if Qiu Banxia is ready for continuous combat, but a Xu Wen is already a strong enemy that even she is not sure to deal with, who knows if someone will appear after Xu Wen?

Not to mention, there is also the possibility of the latter situation mentioned by Liang Jingmo. For example, Xu Wen had actually thrown himself to the enemy side behind his back, and he deliberately starred in this scene just to lure them to the upper echelons where it was more difficult to escape......

Whatever the situation, there is a danger behind it that is enough to destroy them. In this way, Liang Jingmo's worries do have his reasons. But......

Qiu Banxia took a deep breath: "If everything has this mentality of doubting everything, we can't move forward at all. ”

"There is no way to talk about moving forward, do you know what is happening inside the tower during the time we are advancing?"

"I always think about the way back, but I just keep going backwards. Do you want to go back to the bottom of the tower now? ”

Seeing that the quarrel was about to escalate, but at this time, Nangong Qian, who had been unable to keep up with their rhythm, spoke.

"Well, can you listen to me first?"

She pursed her lips and confessed, "Honestly, my train of thought hasn't kept up with yours yet. But I've heard you say so much, and the core of the matter is nothing more than 'believing' or 'doubting'. I would like to say that these things cannot be verified in the current situation of insufficient information, and how we say and analyze them here, the results are just words. ”

"But seeing you like this, I suddenly understand why he chose this side of the stairs."

"Huh?"

Liang Jingmo and Qiu Banxia both showed surprised expressions.

"Quarrels are allowed here." Nangong Qian said, "The biggest advantage of taking the stairs compared to the elevator is that there are no outsiders here. Externally, we can only unite and put aside all disputes. But now that the pressure from outside is not there for the time being, different opinions will emerge. That's where we face those problems first, solve them, and then move on to the next challenges. ”

She suddenly smiled slightly and glanced at Xiang Nanxing.

The latter smiled knowingly.

"Yes, that's another reason why I chose to take the stairs." He nodded and replied, looking at Liang Jingmo with a calm expression.

"Actually, I also want to continue the topic with you that I didn't finish talking about at the time. Can you say it now? ”
