After sending the two of them away, a few more people came soon after, also wanting to exchange puzzles for props.

However, denied by Bai Youwei due to insufficient number.

Shen Mo closed the door, furrowed his brows and looked at Bai Youwei, “The labyrinth of Shanghai has been cracked, at most 9 pieces of the puzzle. Even if outsiders who have entered other labyrinths come to Shanghai, it shouldn’t be that many…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yeah~” Bai Youwei put her hand on her cheek and thought for a while, and suddenly smiled, “I underestimated them, I never thought, in this kind of environment, they could make fakes.”

“You mean, the puzzles are fake?” Shen Mo showed surprise, “…used puzzles, when touched, do not generate any information in the mind, look like ordinary metal pieces, indeed they could be faked. However, if they want to deceive, they are too naive.”

He pondered for a while, then got up and went outside.

“Where are you going?” Bai Youwei widened her eyes and asked.

Shen Mo replied: “In the shop outside where they repair electrical appliances, there should be a magnet.”

Bai Youwei froze first, then curved her eyebrows, laughing.

The puzzle came from the game system. It only looks like steel, but its material is not of any substance found on earth.

Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were preparing to welcome guests who wanted to exchange puzzles, only to unexpectedly have a few cars showing up in the neighborhood when the clock was pointing towards 12 noon

The organization once again sent people to invite them as well as Yan Qingwen.

This time, Li Li didn’t come. Instead, Chu Huaijin, who is the organization’s leader, and Shen Fei did.

Chu Huaijin is originally a member of the special events group, in the same system as Shen Mo, naturally they are close.

Shen Fei is Shen Mo’s cousin, although not a blood brother, in these circumstances, just seeing a living friend or relative is already a rare occurrence.

Bai Youwei suspected that they wanted to bind Shen Mo with familial affection, she just didn’t know if Shen Mo would fall for this strategy.

Bai Youwei wasn’t sure either.

She didn’t have any ill feelings towards this place, whether to stay or not didn’t matter. Anyway, the game can not be avoided, and the labyrinth will show up sooner or later, no matter where, it’s all the same.

The car moved forward, entering the underground garage of a large shopping mall.

Bai Youwei initially found it strange, why did they park in the dark underground? The car didn’t stop, from the first underground level of the car park, it drove into the second level, the third level… until the fifth underground level!

Usually, the underground parking lot of a shopping mall has at most three levels, she didn’t expect this place to go all the way down to the fifth level.

What’s more, the fifth level underground has light!

Having light means having electricity.

The man named Chu Huaijin led the way after getting off the car, with guards following on both sides.

As he walked, he explained, “Since the outage, we found that all power supply facilities have been unable to function properly, be it hydroelectric power, wind power, or other methods… Although the equipment clearly works, it can’t generate electricity. The diesel generator was able to generate power, but again could only support a short period of time. Once the power-on time lasts for a few hours, the electricity mysteriously disappears.”

At this point, he sighed, his tone even more gloomy. “It feels as if we are being monitored by something. As soon as it detects us using electrical energy or communication equipment, it immediately nips it in the bud.”

Shen Mo asked, “So you all moved underground?”

“It’s not exactly foolproof underground either, but fortunately Professor Song has tested out a safe range at present. As long as we use it in a limited way, we are temporarily safe…”

Chu Huaijin stopped at the corner, raised his hand and made a “please” gesture: “This way, please.”

The line of people followed him around the bend.

On one side of the corridor, a huge screen was set up, displaying a city district map. It could be seen that the surrounding areas were circled by colored blocks.

Bai Youwei counted and there were 24 circles.

“Didn’t it say that there are a total of 23 detected game areas?” she asked, “Why is there one more?”

Chu Huaijin stopped and looked at the screen, “That’s a new game that appeared last week. Don’t worry, the number of people needed to trigger this game is likely to be very many, and even if they moved here, given the current distribution of people in the city, it would not trigger the game.”
