Survivorship Bias

    The first time Yang Erci escaped from the conveyor belt was not to go forward, not to save Zhong Yirou who was about to be sent to the embryo transfer cabin in front, but to run back desperately.

    Because even if she was able to pull Zhong Yirou off the conveyor belt in time, it would be too late to remove the chip on the back of her neck, not to mention take away her comatose and being tracked by the chip. Killed by a robot with a locked chip.

    The only way is to stop the operation of the factory.

    But she can only gamble.

    Yang Erci was not sure that the power distribution room could really enter, and that he could really interrupt the operation of the entire factory.

    Fortunately, the goddess of luck really took care of her.

    Venturing to the invisible door of the power distribution room, she touched her hand, and a line of prompts appeared on the door.

    [Welcome to B05, you have 12 remaining DNA parameter tuning tasks left on this layer, please complete them as soon as possible.

    Enter? Y/N]

    Adjust parameters?

    Being too late to think too much, Yang Erci clicked to enter. The door opened, and it turned out to be the power distribution facilities and power system of this surrogacy factory.

    In reality, Yang Erci is a researcher in a biotechnology company, and her research department also has a similar biological research power system.

    According to her method in reality, Yang Erci tried it on the host, and then pulled down all the physical gates.

    Please.

    Two seconds later, the room she was in was plunged into darkness.

    The plan was a near miss.

    Yang Erci immediately opened the door of the power distribution room and came out from inside, but the scene in front of her made her heart dangle again.

    In the dark factory, countless red laser lines criss-crossed, the door was opened at some point, revealing the cool white light of the corridor, in addition, she could only vaguely see to the furnishings in the factory.

    Yang Erci stretched out her hand, put her fingers behind her head, untied the hair band that tied her hair, tied the back of her neck tightly, and then took one of the long hair that was loose.

    She covered her wound with one hand, twisted her hair with the other, raised her hand, released her fingers, and let the hair fall.

    When it falls on the laser, it breaks directly and becomes two halves.

    Sharper than expected.

    The situation gets tricky. In front of Yang Erci were two laser beams intersecting from left and right directions, and the intersection was on her chest. She could only find a way to turn sideways, get out of the gap between the staggered lasers, and walk forward little by little.

    The factory suddenly sounded an alarm.

    [The power supply system is running abnormally, the power supply system is running abnormally, and the protection mode is turned on. ]

    One of her feet was raised with difficulty, ready to step into the center of the three staggered lasers, which could have been severed directly from the ankle.

    Carefully, I finally succeeded.

    The moment she stepped on, she heard a voice.

    "Yang Erci."

    But at this moment, Yang Erci doubted whether An Wujiu, who was talking to him in the dark, was the real him, after all, it was not the first time they had suffered this kind of loss.

    She did not answer immediately, but chose to remain silent, but the other party seemed to have guessed her thoughts in advance and spoke again.

    "You must be worried now whether I am real or fake?"

    "To be clear, you are afraid of being deceived by counterfeiters."

    An Wujiu doesn’t seem to intend to be as evasive as before, instead of talking about people, but straight to the point, “I will tell you directly, you judge. In the warm-up match when you were a caged bird, I originally You are standing behind you, you are right in your judgment, it's just that I expected your judgment, so I switched places with Zhong Yirou."

    "Understand? As now, I know what you're thinking."

    Josh, who was behind him, also said, "Miss Yang, he's not fake, Wu You and I are there too."

    Wu You didn't answer, he looked at Nanshan's pale and purple lips with a little worry in his heart.

    The silence in the darkness continued for a few seconds.

    "This laser is sharper than a knife and will be cut quickly when touched."

    Hearing Yang Erci's voice, An Wujiu felt a hint of joy and relief in his heart, this strange emotion made his mind go blank for a moment, until Yang Erci said, "Do you have a weapon? "

    “You know?” An Wujiu asked.

    "I hear bullets."

    An Wujiu had the gun behind him, he planned to go in first, "I'll move to the cabin first and find Zhong Yirou."

    He deliberately used the word "seek" instead of saving, and Yang Erci's heart caused a wave of waves.

    "I'll go in too, you may not find it if you look in the dark." Yang Erci also avoided the laser line and took a step forward.

    Wu You moved Nan Shan to a position against the wall, let him sit down against the wall, and then eagerly wanted to help, "Brother Wu blame, I'll go in too."

    It's strange, if at this moment he was still An Wujiao who was watching the fire in the last round of the game, he wouldn't put himself in the trap now.

    “Be honest.” An Wujiu rejected him.

    "I didn't take you on a spring outing to see wildflowers."

    The laser line is thin and thin, and you can almost see the dust dyed red through the light, floating lightly.

    But An Wujiu and Yang Erci who are trapped in the line are extremely difficult, they are careful in every step, if there is a little mistake, the laser will pass through it, and it is very likely that they will lose their lives directly.

    Yang Erci moved forward along the conveyor belt. What made her feel strange was that all the women to be entered on the conveyor belt had disappeared. She raised her head and looked around the wall , Under the weak light source of the red laser, she could barely see a little trace of the beehive waiting to be born, but she couldn't see if there was anyone inside.

    Just as she was about to find the fulcrum to move the next step, something terrible happened.

    The laser also began to move.

    "Be careful!"

    An Wujiu heard Josh's voice, the laser in front of him was moving in the direction of his chest, he had to take a quick look behind him, the laser behind him did not move, but the laser in his right hand The laser also moves upwards. He reacted swiftly, leaning back on his upper body and retracting his right hand to avoid the moving light.

    At the same time, he also found that these lasers do not move all the time. When people dodge, they will stop immediately.

    Yang Erci didn't have time to avoid a laser diagonally behind, it moved from back to front, and when Yang Erci turned her head in response, the laser made a **** cut on her lower jaw.

    "Hey, Zhong Yirou's embryo transfer cabin is the same as the gate, without laser surrounds."

    Yang Erci heard this and was relieved, even though she was still in danger, her eyes kept staring at the cabin where Zhong Yirou was. With a moving laser, a huge rectangular white shadow will appear behind the transparent cabin. The shadows overlap each time and become clearer each time.

    "No blame, look at the back of the transplant cabin."

    An Wujiu raised his eyes, turned his head cautiously, and let himself enter the small safe area, "I have seen it a long time ago, that Eight Achievements is the gate of heaven on this floor."

    Behind him, he heard Wu You's voice, "Brother Wu Jiu, Josh's physical strength seems to have also deteriorated, and he almost fainted just now."

    "It's normal, you won't be able to hold on after entering the next floor, the winner of this game is doomed from the beginning." An Wujiu said the cruel reality indifferently. He stepped over a laser line, but didn't stabilize, and the laser cut through the fabric of his trouser leg without hurting his leg.

    "This is a personal battle. People on the upper floors have higher physical strength. People on the lower floors cannot successfully complete the task at the upper floors. If there is no one to take care of them, the probability of direct death is unimaginably high."

    Wu You is clear, but he is still dissatisfied, "It's not fair."

    In the dark he heard An Wu Jiao sneer, "Fair?"

    "So I said, why bother with so many levels, it is better to put all those who enter the altar to fight in a colosseum, and see who can survive in this level of chaos In the end, wouldn't it be more exciting?"

    "Chaos is the greatest justice."

    An Wujiu stated the creed that he has always believed in, at least what he believes in at the moment, no matter what kind of order will not be perfect, even under a near-perfect empty shell There are huge flaws hidden and cannot function impartially.

    It is better not to have rules, not to have order.

    "If you say that, I want to be the last person to live."

    Suddenly, An Wu Jiu heard another voice, not from Wu You.

    It was Shen Ti.

    An Wujiu dodged a moving laser, made sure it was still, then turned his head, the next second, a shining object was thrown over, An Wujiu subconsciously stretched out his hand and firmly grasped it live.

    It is a mirror.

    "I found this from the monster's chest outside."

    After finishing speaking, Shen Ti took up the previous topic again, "If you can't be the last person, you can also be the second to last."

    The moment he stepped into the dark factory, the door of the factory slammed shut.

    The light from the outside world disappears.

    An Wujiu held the mirror in his hand, "Why?"

    "Because..." Shen Ti also stepped into the laser array, his voice in this dark factory, has a strange empty inspiration, as if it is not a human voice, full of A supernatural hallucination.

    "If there are only me and you in that Colosseum, I will let you live to the end."

    An Wu Jiao fell silent for a while because of his answer.

    His heart hurts again without warning, as if it was pierced and divided by thousands of lasers, out of his control at all.

     So many times, An Wu Jiu also realized that the symptoms of his heart pain are not irregular and random.

    Every time it was related to Shen Ti, but he didn't know the reason. He is eager to solve the mystery, but seems to be powerless and can only be affected.

    The pain made An Wu Jiu's gauze-covered hand tremble slightly, and the mirror in his hand also moved.

    In the moment of immersion in pain, An Wujiu suddenly discovered a problem, the red light was originally straight and slanted from left to right, and the end of the light was still on his feet.

    But now, the edge of the mirror crosses the path of the light, and the light that should have been cut is reflected by the mirror and goes straight to the other direction.

    "This is a laser mirror..." After realizing this, An Wujiu called out Yang Erci's name, her position was closer to the transplant cabin, and the laser lines were denser.

    "Take it. If you can't pick it up, let's die together."

    The moment she threw it out, An Wujiu scolded himself as an idiot in his heart for throwing out the survival tool so generously.

    If you really die in this game, you deserve it.

    But Yang Erci caught it, and she was very smart, making good use of the laser mirror to reflect all those dangerously approaching lasers, leaving room for her own movement.

    The chance of success increases suddenly, and the rescue speed increases.

    There are only a few meters left from Zhong Yirou.

    An Wujiu is still struggling.

    Shen Ti was already behind him in a blink of an eye, and his speed was so fast that An Wujiu wondered if he was a rubber man, he could change his shape at will and pass through these laser arrays.

    "What you just said is really touching. But..."

    Shen Ti suddenly heard An Wujiu's voice with a frivolous tone.

    "Listen to Josh, you even lied to the NPC who looks exactly like me, and you played the emotional card, and then killed you after sweet words. It's terrible, even I feel terrible. "

    An Wujiu chuckled, "Actually we are the same kind, don't you think?"

    Weird, split, extreme, unpredictable, an existence outside of normal people.

    "Stop lying to your peers, you won't be fooled, what a waste."

    An Wujiu said, he had an urge to see what kind of expression Shen Ti would use in response to his words at this moment, but suddenly, the red laser beside them disappeared at the same time .

    Can't see anything, it's really dark in the field of vision.

    Shen Ti didn't speak any more, his silence made An Wujiao's heart skip a few beats, but he quickly regained his composure.

    Yang Erci's voice explained their confusion, "It's me, I just opened the transplant cabin, so all the lasers disappeared."

    “Where’s Zhong Yirou? How is she?” The laser disappeared, An Wujiu also walked forward.

    "Still in a coma."

    Zhong Yirou was lying on the operating table quietly, the needle shimmered faintly in the dark night, making Yang Erci think of the spindle destined to come in fairy tales, and the sleeping, cursed the princess.

    She removed the mechanical arm, closed Zhong Yirou's white coat, held her arm, transferred her to her back, and dragged Zhong Yirou to open the hatch.

    The white rectangle turned into a door just as An Wujiu said.

    "The door has appeared." Yang Erci tried, "Can't open it."

    Shen Ti also followed, he walked to the door with a faint white light, reached out to hold the door handle, and suddenly there was a huge whistle in the darkness.

    The whistling sound is familiar, similar to the monster transformed by the baby before.

    Wu You saw the laser line disappear, and shook Josh who was on the verge of drowsiness. Seeing that Josh woke up, he could barely stand up, and then raised Nan Shan's arm and led them forward.

    Can only go forward two or three meters, a huge object suddenly flew in front of Wu You, the whistling sound almost penetrated his eardrum, the other party came straight and knocked him down. .

    Josh was unsteady and knelt to the ground. Nan Shan fell down without support, and fell on Wu You's body.

    I heard a lot of movement from Wu You, and the whistling sound came from there, An Wu Jiu turned around, "Little devil."

    The comatose Nanshan pinned down, Wu You tried to push it away, but couldn’t do anything for a while, so she could only be pinned down in desperation, and responded with difficulty, “I was pushed by a monster. When it was knocked down, the sound it made was the sound it made just now, it was very loud, be careful."

    An Wujiu stared at this darkness, watching it very seriously, his vision was clear from the chaotic darkness, and he could capture a trace of movement.

    The monster is like a huge black shadow, the color is darker than the dark environment, and there is a little shimmer, like a fog, there is no concrete form, even the roar It's like an unknown language.

    After looking at it for a long time, An Wu Jiu's strong willpower was shaken.

    In the darkness, Yang Erci's pupils seemed to glow.

    “No, don’t look at it!” An Wujiu turned to look at Shen Ti.

    In the darkness, those blue-green eyes only looked at themselves.

    “You don’t even want to look…” An Wujiu said a little sluggishly.

    My heart beats fast.

    "Okay." Shen Ti responded, opened the game panel with his head down, exchanged for a heavy machine gun, and loaded it neatly.

    The promise was good, but he picked up the gun, aimed at the black mist of crashing and missiles all over the factory, and fired violently.

    The flames were like twinkling stars, briefly and enthusiastically igniting the darkness.

    An Wujiu looked at Shen Ti's profile.

    Totally out of control guy.

    After he scolded in his heart, he also took off the gun on his back and resisted this unknown black fog that could not be seen directly.

    When aiming at the black mist, An Wujiu could obviously feel the huge impact in his body, every cell was madly colliding with each other, unable to control, his hands and shoulders were shaking.

    However, a new powerful force poured out of the body, which seemed to suppress these irrepressible madness.

    A loud bang. An Wu Jiu hit the very center of the black fog with one shot, and with Shen Ti's burst of fire, the black fog-like creature burst out with a whimpering roar and fell to the ground.

    The black mist disappeared.

    Is this the end?

    An Wujiu put down the gun in his hand, and the experience of being almost deprived of his willpower made him regain his life after drowning.

    But he turned his face to look at Shen Ti, the gate of heaven behind him plated a faint silver light on his outline, he did not change at all, neither under his control nor under his control The coercion of this unknown black fog.

    "What just happened..." Wu You woke up, stretched out his hand and pushed Nanshan who was on him.

    An Wujiu was about to speak, but the next second, the whistling sound reappeared, and he found a strange and unknown black mist gathered above the factory again.

    "Don't look at it!"

    This time, it's obviously coming again, but An Wugui still misses the best opportunity to inform. The black mist rushed directly to Wu You, attacked in a hysterical roar, and then left, Wu You's eyes shimmered, and dullly followed the direction where the black mist left.

    They are controlled again.

    Shen Ti and An Wujiu hit, shoot, and eliminate it time and time again.

    But in the next second, the dispersed black mist will gather again and attack their partners again.

    They are in a loop.

    The 32nd time, An Wujiu told them not to look at the first moment when the black mist gathered again, but it was useless, once it was enveloped by the black mist, their minds would definitely be controlled.

    The awakened Josh was shrouded in black mist just after the clearing, and a huge whistling sound wrapped him, but at a certain moment, he realized something, so he told An Wu a second before he lost consciousness blame.

    "This black fog! The language it roars is of the same origin as the monsters outside! I, I studied linguistics! No blame, I..."

    Unable to finish, the black mist left, and Josh's eyes shone like moonstones.

    37th cycle.

    "No." An Wu Jiu's tired hands loosened and the gun fell to the ground.

    He looked at his only companion and laughed. The white light fell on his face, and Shen Ti could clearly see his beautiful and somewhat crazy smile.

    He said, "I don't want to kill."

    "It's not supposed to die, is it?"
