Chapter 607: Never Trust a Joke

Chapter 607: Never Trust a Crap (Update 5)

Xiao Yu has never been a merciful man. Lin

Mercy? He wouldn’t have made it this far if he had been merciful.

He only regrets that he punished a beast instead of nailing it directly.

Well, with his limbs ruined, in a place like this Sun Wang was doomed anyway… Xiao Yu shook his head, not giving it another thought, and moved on to the next room.

After triggering the three metal doors and waiting for the room to shift, Xiao Yu entered the next safe chamber.

And then… Xiao Yu saw a living person.

A woman!

She lay weakly on the ground, barely breathing.

Had she not lifted her head to glance at him, Xiao Yu might have thought she was dead.

“Water… give me water…”

The woman, her hair a tangled mess, weakly lifted her head and called out to him.

“I’ve got pee. Want some?”

Xiao Yu stepped in front of the woman and asked seriously.

This wasn’t a joke or some flirtatious banter.

It was a choice.

A matter of life and death.

Option One: Die of thirst.

Option Two: Drink urine.

What would a normal person choose?

The woman was stunned.

Her dull, lifeless eyes stared at Xiao Yu, then she surprisingly nodded.

Not for quenching thirst, but for survival!

Twenty minutes later, the woman leaned against a metal wall, finally regaining some strength.

Xiao Yu opened all six metal doors three times.

The room shifted its position.

Then, he opened each metal door one by one to inspect.

Finally, he chose a door.

The one on the ceiling.

Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman leaning against the wall.

Not bad; she was attractive, around 1.67 meters tall, with a graceful figure.

The key was her age and expression—twenties or thirties.

In her weakened state, she exuded a pitiful charm.

“Got the strength?”

Xiao Yu pointed upward. “Climb through that door.”

At four meters high, getting a frail woman to climb up was no easy task.

It was virtually impossible to reach the upper room in five seconds.

The woman’s face fell into despair as tears, pity, and pleading shone in her eyes. “Save me, I’ll do anything for you!”

Xiao Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded. “I’ll save you… but you must save yourself too!”

As he spoke, he reached out his left hand, grabbed her clothes, crouched down, and took a giant leap.

Carrying her, he jumped over a meter and a half—almost two meters high.

Then, he extended his right hand and slapped the button on the metal door.

Immediately, his right hand darted through the air, grasping the edge of the door.

The metal door swung open as Xiao Yu swung his left hand, hurling the woman into the opening above.

But that wasn’t all.

His right hand then pushed with force as his left clung to the door like a nimble cat, slipping inside.

Clack!

The metal door closed.

Xiao Yu and the woman now found themselves in a cubic room.

“Thank you… thank you,”

the woman said, her eyes pleading and soft yet burning with fervor. “I-I’ll obey you from now on!”

Trustworthiness isn’t about words, but actions… Xiao Yu looked at the woman calmly, saying nothing.

He always believed that when you’re in pain, you shouldn’t trust any fart that comes your way!

Xiao Yu continued testing the metal doors, probing over and over to confirm his findings.

And throughout the process, he always kept the woman close.

Why keep a burden with him?

Since when has Xiao Yu ever played the savior?

The real question arose when he encountered the woman.

With Falcon’s Eye, Wax Moth’s Ear, and Python’s Sense, he could easily detect her physical condition.

What does the body of someone on the brink of dehydration look like?

Ever seen a frog dehydrated?

Their skin turns a dark brown and their mouths become dry and cracked.

In fact, a dehydrated frog isn’t much different from a human.

The woman’s lips were dry, but she didn’t look like she was about to die of thirst.

Oddly enough, through Wax Moth’s Ear, Xiao Yu could clearly hear her strong heartbeat.

And with Python’s Sense, he detected ample internal heat—her body was perfectly normal.

So a question emerged.

Why was this woman faking it?

What was her goal in doing so?

Why pretend to have been trapped in the Anxiety Formula for days?

Most people would be terrified entering a place like this.

A woman daring to disguise herself in the labyrinth of the Anxiety Formula…

Isn’t that fascinating?

That’s why Xiao Yu had her drink urine—it was his first test.

Then came something even more bizarre.

No matter how dire the life or death moment, regardless of the thirst…

The normal human body and its reactions are irreversible.

Most people would feel nauseous, gag, or even vomit after drinking urine.

But…

This woman not only drank it, she showed no signs of disgust.

Unless she had a history of some peculiar tastes or a fondness for the bizarre.

Otherwise, how on earth did she manage it?

For his second test,

Xiao Yu grabbed her clothes to check her reaction.

During this, he clearly felt her body tense up.

And in her eyes, he saw a glimmer of… murderous intent!

For the third test,

Xiao Yu tossed the woman into the upper room.

He was ready for her to attack him.

But nothing happened.

Not only did the woman not attack him, she even put on the airs of a docile lamb…

Xiao Yu watched and tested the 570 doors, chuckling inwardly.

Truly, one must cherish everyone around them.

Because it was a twisted look back in a past life

that brought about this very encounter in the present.

He only hoped that… in this life, he’d never have to break your neck again!

After once more shifting the room, Xiao Yu went on to inspect each metal door.

And this time, he finally discovered a cubic chamber unlike the others.

No, it was still cubic; it’s just that this room was smaller.

Three meters high, three meters wide, and three meters long… but it wasn’t empty.

It resembled a control room.

It housed an operations console, a computer, various switches, and active machinery.

Xiao Yu’s eyes lit up.

A machine room?

More precisely, it should be called Joint-Axis Room 27.

The very center of the Rubik’s Cube!

What use is an exit if you haven’t taken over the entire Anxiety Formula’s machine room?

That’s a naive question.

As long as you control the machine room of the Anxiety Formula,

there’s no way out, right?

“Let’s go.”

Without looking back, Xiao Yu said to the woman behind him, “Let’s check it out first… huh?”

A tiny blade, held between two fingers, silently descended toward Xiao Yu’s neck.

Looks like in this life, I’m going to have my neck broken one more time!
