Suits thinks about it for a moment before suggesting, âitâs safe over at the stairs, while the elevators are highly uncertain; people-wise, we need four going down the stairs, two of whom will take the little girl with them on the 31st floor, and check the photograph on the 20th floor. Also, they will attempt to enter every floor they pass by when there is no obvious danger, in order to confirm whether there are elevators stopped there.
Of course, in the interest of time, theyâll skip all the floors we have already been to.
The other two will head directly to the 16th floor and collect information once more. Then theyâll try every floor from the 14th to the 9th.
No matter what, though, there are still three buttons in elevator Three to be tested at the very least.â
Fei nods.
Suits looks around, and seeing nobody with questions, asks, âso letâs split⊠uh, Lin Qin, dalao, where do you want to go?â
Lin Qin was listening nonchalantly, thinking of XĂŒ Beijin, and since he needed to solve this quickly, he clamped his temper down to listen it through. As for how much of the conversation he actually understood, that is a whole other question.
Of course, having read lots of detective novels by now, he might be sharper than anyone here would think.
In any caseâŠ
Lin Qin says, âIâll go to the 16th floor.â
⊠As expected of Lin Qin.
Suits nods, and this time, Wu Jian is banned from going with Lin Qin, and so Fei volunteered to head down to the 16th floor with Lin Qin instead.
As for the other team heading down the stairs, Mystic is a must. Then five remains â Suits himself, Teen, Shen YĂŒnjĂŒ, Wu Jian, Jiang ShuangmeiâŠ
Suitsâ mouth is twitching. Great, thereâs no other choices.
Jiang Shuangmei is giving the Missiontakers from higher floors odd looks, but ends up playing along nonetheless, saying, âIâll go.â
Since Teen isnât really compatible with Mystic or Jiang Shuangmei here, heâll have to pair up with his familiar Suits anyway. In fact, as both of them are more pragmatists than idealists, they would both pair badly with Mystic.
As for Shen YĂŒnjĂŒ, Wu Jian and Jiang Shuangmei, since Shen YĂŒnjĂŒ appears to be a âzombieâ that cares for nothing, Wu Jian has already lost credibility, besides looking paranoid and irritable, so both are bad choices for going with Mystic.
Mystic has an odd personality, so having Jiang Shuangmei deal with her would be the wiser choice here for now.
Finally, the teams are split, and so without delay, they quickly head for their target locations.
Before leaving, Suits again tries the bathroom door, undeterred, but obviously, he failed.
Shaking his head and sighing, he heads for elevator One with Teen, Shen YĂŒnjĂŒ and Wu Jian.
Lin Qin has already left with Fei a long time ago.
Finally, Mystic and Jiang Shuangmei head for the stairs last.
In the stream, the viewers seem impressed how quickly they got a move on, typing,
âthe missiontakers do get stuff done when it needs to, huhâ
âthey wont see each other eye to eye, but they can cooperate when need beâ
â(are you implying something from how it was beforeâŠ)â
âmore like blatantly statingâ
âI wonder how missiontakers behave on higher floors⊠it feels like itâll be, subtly⊠more competentâ
XĂŒ Beijin, reading the comments along, feels the need to help improve the image of Missiontakers of the bottom floor a little, and explains, âthe difference is mainly because Missiontakers of the bottom floor are always unified in their objectives no matter what in Nightmares.
While in Nightmares of higher floors, Missiontakers may belong in different factions since the beginning, and it is possible for those factions to be irreparably opposed to each other; it might even be the case that Missiontakers that are enemies in one Nightmare end up having to cooperate fully in the next.
So these different environments end up breeding different styles of Missiontakers, I think.â
âhahaha it sounds like Beibeiâs saying higher floor missiontakers can read between the lines more than those on the bottom floor, who are easily tricked by an artificially imposed âcommon goalpost'â
âexactly [doge emoji]â
âbut still, if higher floors have more hostile environments and psychological warfare⊠then we could say the bottom floor is similar to a greenhouse, that breeds incompetence from lack of hostilitiesâ
âquite evident from how much disrespect is displayed outright from the missiontakers of the higher floors no?â
XĂŒ Beijin is speechless seeing how the viewers react to his explanation.
Sometimes, the effects of being bred in different environments may be much greater than they could ever anticipate.
Though⊠never mind that.
XĂŒ Beijin decides to give up on explaining further.
Because it is futile, since he can never head to a higher floor to show them anyway, which means he could never bring up actual examples to establish counter-points.
And there are always people like Mu Jiashi on the bottom floor, and literal winners in life that can just laze about and still end up squeezing into othersâ True Ends. There are always unfair exceptions to general trends.
