I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 890 - The Building Of Absolute Death

Din Din Din Din Din.

Both Ulrich and Winston, alongside a few others that chose to follow them, moved swiftly in absolute silence.

They were no more than determined to flee the scene.

But who could tell them why the building was so large and complicated?

From the ground floor to the second floor was nothing.

But when trying to go to the third floor, they had to pass through all hallways on the 2nd floor until they reached the very end.

From there, they would ascend to the 3rd floor inwards; the same concept was used.

But the issue was that there was just one set of stairways on each floor.

Now, the floors were made like riddles.

You chose the path you think was right.

And the other paths would either lead you to hallways that slowly descend without you knowing it unless one is very vigilant.

These paths will take you right back to the floor below, at an angle that is very far away from the stairs.

So if one is being chased or ambushed by the enemy and they take this path and end back on the floor below, there was a very high chance that the enemy would already be on that floor and get them.

The building itself was very wide.

So just moving from extreme ends of the floor to the stairs again took a lot of time.

The enemy would probably be there by then.

Again, some of the stairways led to dark hallways that were never lit.

And there, because of the pressure and weight of the unfortunate people passing by, they would undoubtedly step on very thinly cut wooden tiles that looked like floor decorations.

Yup!

These were traps.

And once they fell in, they would go straight down to ground level and end up in the cages of several hangols.

.

The entire hallway was kept dark, and even within the hallways before that, no one lit torches there.

And in situations where one was running for their life, of course, they would try to take a torch from around.

But seeing that there were no sources around after ascending the stairs, they would undoubtedly choose to risk it and go into the long dark hallways rather than waiting there for the enemy to catch them.

So with that, they would undoubtedly meet their doom... unless the God of luck was on their side, and they never once stepped on the thin plank sheets.

Again, even if they had torches, that still didn't mean anything if they didn't know of the thin planks.

Additionally, even if they did manage to make it through, they would still end up one floor below and pop out of a revolving wall that can only be turned from the hallway that had the traps.

So once they pass through and end up on the floor below, they won't be able to go back in again.

The place was really troublesome... but that wasn't all.

On each floor, the stairways were all in one location, with each leading to a tiny balcony that led to several hallways or the correct path to choose.

And the higher one went from floor to floor; the more complex, lengthy and tall the stairways were, with some crisscrossing others.

In short, Winston had only been to the 2nd floor of the building his entire life and had never known that there were so many stairways.

The stairways from the ground level to the 2nd floor weren't that complete and didn't lead to any real doors.

So no one, he didn't know anything.

And even now, because he was following Ulrich, he still didn't know of the dangers around the place.

The only people who had ever stepped higher than the 2nd floor were Julius' secret guards, and a few days ago, Ulrich.

Not even Julius' brothers had hone higher.

Even when the doctor came, he would attend to Julius on the 2nd floor.

.

The whole place was always shrouded in mystery.

And throughout the years, many had tried to find out what was hidden within the place.

But no one had ever come back alive once they tried to infiltrate the higher floors.

That was why many people call it the Building of Absolute Death.

Of course, some of the credit went to Juluis' guards, who were former top assassins.

It just so happened that last night, because Julius was sensing his death, he freed them and gave them what he promised.

Anyway, the magnificent building was a confusing death trap meant to dwindle the number of enemies that dared to infiltrate the place.

And around the 4th and 5th floors, there were even more types of surprising hallways for intruders.

It all depends on one's luck for them to make it back safely.

One might think that the stairways were the only confusing thing, but that was a lie.

The floors were made like a maze.

So one could find themselves in a loop if they didn't know the way since everything looked exactly the same.

And coupled with the fact that these people had never been on these floors... many hadn't even successfully arrived at the stairways located at the end of the maze-like floors.

Winston looked at Ulrich curiously.

"How do you know the way?

Are you sure that the path we're taking is right?"

"Heh.

What does it matter to you?

Didn't you say that you weren't following me?

So if you don't like it, then go your own way!"

"You!!!!

Why do you always have to be so bossy?

I'm just asking a simple question.

None of us have ever gone this high.

So isn't it fitting that I ask?

And who the hell said that I was following you?"

Ulrich quickly glimpsed at Winston, and soon, his eyes lit up.

This was the opportunity he was waiting for.

Instantly, he began his performance by acting anxiously.

And as they advanced, he kept leaving the massive group to several dead ends, all the while still making sure he chose dead-ends that were relatively closer to the stairways.

The group was too large and would only be disastrous for him going on.

So why not cut the numbers down?
