Chapter 1099: Important Clue

Shen Qianshu said, “No!”
She had no idea how they put it on, but she just knew that it could not be removed. Ye Ling studied the wristwatch carefully. Monica said, “Don’t try anything funny. They are all watching through the surveillance cameras.”
“They might not have a detailed view,” Ye Ling said. “Other than controlling all of you, the other function of this is to locate you. When one is dead, the red dot on the camera would be gone. There is a camera in here.”
He looked up at the camera above.
“Other than this one, there are no other surveillance cameras.”
Monica said, “But the watch cannot be removed. Otherwise, they could make it explode.”
“The main switch is somewhere on the map,” Ye Ling said. “If I’m not wrong, the main switch is somewhere on the map. Otherwise, how could my mother and Fang Hongxiu have both passed the test?”
Black Rose must have gotten the other switch.
Ye Ling said, “There is a tunnel on the outside of the high walls. There are tonnes of explosives in there, and they want to flatten this area with those. Why? Have you guys ever thought about it? If they could control you guys with the watch, why would they need to blow up this entire area? What are they afraid of?”
Monica and Maxi exchanged glances at each other.
Shen Qianshu jumped up suddenly and destroyed the camera above.
The screen in the monitoring room went dark. Black Rose said, “Dumb. What would breaking a camera change?”
Nothing would change.
Ye Ling tugged at Shen Qianshu to make her sit down. “If my thoughts are right, Black Rose is taking unnecessary steps to prevent me from coming to save you. It is also to prevent anyone from finding the main switch and removing the dangerous threat. That must be why she buried tonnes of explosives in here.”
Maxi said, “Would all of you survive if we can find the main switch?”
“That’s right,” Ye Ling said.
Monica felt that this was a little strange, yet it seemed to make sense. Black Rose wanted Shen Qianshu to be the only winner so that Shen Qianshu could become her puppet. Everyone else would have to die here.
But what if they could find the main switch and allow the group of people to leave alive?
She wouldn’t allow that. So, she must have her other ways.
Shen Qianshu said, “In the past years, no one must have thought of the main control switch, and everyone must have thought that life in this map is just a matter of life and death. Everyone wanted to stay alive, so their focus was not on saving themselves.”
She paused. Then, she thought of the tree. Fang Hongxiu had left a line of words in there.
Fang Hongxiu was here.
Shen Qianshu’s eyes lit up. “The main concept in Black Rose’s selection test is to… save ourselves?”
Monica always could not be bothered to think about these things. She looked at Maxi subconsciously.
Maxi said, “Saving ourselves… Killing our enemies is also saving ourselves. Saving our allies is also saving ourselves. What if the definition of saving ourselves is to save our allies? Back then, two people survived. That must be the true meaning of the selection test!”
This was the only explanation that could make sense.
If it was really so, Black Rose must really be playing a game of chess.
The idea of saving oneself and the objective of Black Rose was contradicting. She wanted a puppet.
Ye Ling asked, “Did any of you find any strange places in the map?”
Monica shook her head. She was not bothered by this all the time.
She only cared about explosives, equipment, how to kill, and how to escape. She looked at Maxi subconsciously again, and Maxi pondered. “It is no wonder that they gave us three days to familiarize ourselves with the map. So this is what it is for… But I didn’t find any strange places.”
