Book 1: Chapter 198

Book 1: Chapter 198

We climbed all the way up to the top of the stairs and used our flashlights to illuminate the huge bell. When we looked closer, it was even more frightening and huge. There were too many rotten yellow satin strips wrapped around the bell to count, and they were all covered in spells. The top of the bell was covered in sulfur that had formed from the sulfur vapor on this floor.

The bell was so far away from us that we didnt even have to try at all. It was completely out of reach. If we had a gun, we could try to shoot the copper chain off of it, but I looked at the structure with my flashlight and saw that the copper chain was as thick as my thigh and was hanging on an arched beam. There was no way ordinary guns would break it. Based on my understanding of the structure, it was impossible to break the copper chain, but wed still have a chance if we focused our efforts on the beam.

Fatty turned to Black Glasses, "Black Glasses, youve got good skills. Take the detonator to the beam, blow the beam up, and then jump back."This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Black Glasses made a gesture, "If you blow this beam up, an accident might happen. Its a copper beam with a stone layer on the outer ends and copper on the inside. And this beam" I looked at both sides, which were holding up heavy rock formations. This beam was very important in keeping the structure of this tower complete. If it was blown up, the rock formations on both sides would probably collapse.

Fatty nodded, "Ok, I'll go up and take a look." With that said, he stood up and tried to hook the crossbeam, but he had gotten a little fatter recently and his hands couldn't reach it. He started to say to Poker-Face and Black Glasses, "You guys are lame. We have a division of labor here. My occupation is a tank (1). You cant accumulate this kind of"

But before he finished speaking, Black Glasses and Poker-Face jumped up at almost the same time, stepped on Fatty's shoulders, and then jumped onto the beam.

It wasnt a distance ordinary people could jump. The two of them hung on the beam with their fingers and then pulled themselves up.

I stared blankly for a moment, taking a second to realize that the bell was too big. Even with both of their heights combined, the two of them couldnt reach the bottom of the bell. He was asking me to jump over.

I looked at the distance and said to Poker-Face, "If you want me to die, you can just come over and kill me directly. How the fuck do you expect me to jump over?"

Fatty said to me, "I'll throw you over. There's water below, so even if you fall, you won't die. Youll just have to climb up again. Dont worry, it's not your first time."

I looked down at the bottomit was pitch blackand said to Fatty, "How about this? I'll throw you over."

TN Notes:

(1) I think he means tank as in the gaming terminology. Tanks are basically like meat shields in multiplayer games because they distract the enemys attention and draw attacks towards themselves so the other players can attack. Info here.
