Chapter 737: Chapter 290 Nightmare Power, The Deepest Memories [10,000 Words]_6
The black mist above the third floor had long since disappeared, as the restrictions were lifted with the end of the second round of the death game.
The Contractors looked around, feeling that it was not much different from the second floor, and then they headed towards the hall.
However, when they saw the cells, they couldn’t help but feel an unavoidable sense of fear,
especially with the Level 7 and Level 8 monsters imprisoned within.
Surprisingly, the monsters that had been wildly ferocious outside, devoid of any fear, were now huddled together, shivering in the cells.
They were clearly terrified, as if this place was the deepest source of their fears.
The Contractors did not linger long and quickly arrived at the hall.
This hall had no long tables; instead, there were many glass tanks filled with a certain liquid, most likely formaldehyde.
Inside the glass tanks were many organs and limbs, and even some extremely horrifying creatures’ young.
Mu Rufeng glanced at the group and announced solemnly,
"The third round of the death game officially begins!"
A virtual option appeared in front of Mu Rufeng:
[Search, Search, Search]
This time, there was only one option.
This death game was simple: search for specific organs and limbs in the formaldehyde on this floor.
The pieces were a brain, four limbs, and two eyes, totaling seven organs. Whoever found them would advance directly; failure meant direct elimination, with a time limit of one hour.
This time, it was a race of thirteen to reach seven, which was considered fair.
Mu Rufeng declared the rules of the death game.
The remaining Contractors were in an uproar.
But they eventually calmed down.
Before entering the instance, they were already aware of the related information.
Completing the challenges to pass the instance was extremely difficult, and this instance had never been seen before.
An unheard-of instance implied a high death rate.
Of course, completing the third round meant they could go back directly.
If they wanted to continue with the death games, that was an option, but only one person would eventually reach the top and complete all the death games.
After Mu Rufeng announced the start, he stood to one side and quietly watched them.
Because Mu Rufeng was overseeing, the Contractors did not dare to fight, even if they discovered the organs at the same time.
It was all about speed.
Given an hour’s limit, they spent fifty minutes and ultimately all found what they needed.
Because there were so many organs, as soon as they found them, they had to take them to Mu Rufeng to verify whether they counted as task organs.
Six were eliminated and then directly sent back to the real world by the Login Bracelet.
[The third round of the death game is complete. Players may return at any time or proceed to the fourth round.]
A prompt appeared in Mu Rufeng’s mind.
This made Mu Rufeng pause momentarily; he had not expected that after the third round, they could go back directly.
"The third round is over; does anyone want to return?" Mu Rufeng looked towards the seven remaining Contractors.
"I want to return!" Mitchell, the African man, immediately raised his hand and shouted.
This guy had some luck; before the first round of the game began, Mu Rufeng had cut off one of his arms as punishment, and he had not expected to get through the third round.
And this guy was the first to find an organ. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
"I’ll return too."
"I’m returning as well."
Quickly, six people chose to return.
Only Mumu Ya was still extremely conflicted.
Mu Rufeng glanced at Mumu Ya and said, "You don’t need to rush back; I assure you that you’ll complete the subsequent death games."
Mu Rufeng was afraid Mumu Ya would return directly without taking on any extra tasks, which prompted him to speak.
"Then I won’t return," replied Mumu Ya, immediately responding with elation.
Maria and the other Contractors looked enviously at Mumu Ya.
Those who completed the third round could also get a decent pass completion rate, and the rewards would not be few.
Looking at Mumu Ya, not only did she have the bonus of an extra task, but she could also go all the way through all the death games, which was indeed a stroke of luck.
Soon, Maria and the other six Contractors also chose to complete their missions and returned, leaving only Mumu Ya and Mu Rufeng on the scene.
"Follow me, to the fourth floor," Mu Rufeng turned and walked towards the staircase.
Mumu Ya, upon hearing this, immediately followed behind Mu Rufeng.
But after only a few steps, Mu Rufeng turned around and looked at the organs they had been searching for, reaching out with his hand and summoning them to him, then storing them in his Item Slot.
In no time, Mu Rufeng and Mumu Ya reached the fourth floor.
The layout of the fourth floor was still not much different, but the entire place had been converted into cages, even the hall.
In addition, the laboratory was turned into a storeroom.
"Mr. Butler, should I go complete the extra task now?" Mumu Ya whispered.
"No rush."
Mu Rufeng used his Nightmare Power and scoured the fourth floor.
However, on this floor, the only place inaccessible to the Nightmare Power was the storeroom; all the cages had no particular clues.
There wasn’t even a fireplace to be found; chances were, it would only exist in the storeroom.
Mu Rufeng immediately went to the door of the storeroom.
Mu Rufeng looked at the door of the storeroom. The lock was somewhat broken and looked as if it could be entered without a key.
After thinking it over, Mu Rufeng allowed himself to Virtualize, then lowered his presence.
Mumu Ya saw Mu Rufeng disappear and was immediately startled, not sure what had happened.
"I’m nearby; just pretend I’m not here. Speak in your mind, and I can hear you," Mu Rufeng communicated with Mumu Ya using the ability of Spirit Communication.
Mumu Ya, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open and entered.
Mu Rufeng also realized that what stopped the Nightmare Power wasn’t the lock, but the closed door.
The storeroom was indeed a storeroom, about a third the size of the laboratory.
It was filled with various items, and a striking red trash bin was placed in the corner.
Mu Rufeng went over to check and didn’t find anything unusual.
"Go, put the stuff in," Mu Rufeng said to Mumu Ya.
"Alright, Mr. Butler," Mumu Ya immediately stepped forward, then took out the safe and directly placed it inside the large trash bin.
A completion prompt appeared in Mumu Ya’s mind, and a smile appeared on her face.
