Chapter 1762
Griffon stood still, listening to the ticking of the countdown in his
head. After having his skull opened, a chip was implanted in his
brain, monitoring his every move and word. He had just altered
the program for the ninth round and bypassed the 1-1 setting to
gain access. But as soon as he spoke, 1-2 discovered that he had
tampered with the game area’s program.
Instead of immediately triggering the explosion program, 1-2 gave him a five–minute countdown, giving him a
chance. He couldn’t
speak out of turn and had to return within five minutes, or his brain
would explode, and she would die.

and suddenly released his clenched fist. He picked up Taya and carried her through the door, then held her
shoulders to keep her
still.
“I can’t go back right now. You need to leave and not come looking for me. It’s too dangerous,” he said.
His brain was controlled, and if he moved more than a hundred meters away from Erebus, it would automatically
explode. Griffon didn’t want her to worry about him, so he quickly turned and walked out the door.
Taya didn’t listen and tried to follow him, but Griffon abruptly

turned around.

“I told you not to come looking for me. You didn’t listen to me, and
now you’ve killed Johnny. Isn’t that enough?” he said.
With just those words, Taya froze in place, staring at him like a
puppet, unable to say a word.
Griffon didn’t even look back as he left.
As she watched his indifferent figure, Taya’s tears flowed uncontrollably, and in that moment, she suddenly felt that
everything was meaningless.
Outside the door, Griffon wiped away his tears and quickly went to the control panel on the fourth floor. He tried to
open the program inside, frantically typing in the code.
The passage leading to the Erebus exit had a time limit, and Griffon wanted to speed it up so that Taya could leave
before his brain exploded. But when he opened the control panel, he realized that the program for the door was set
to send Taya back to room 9, not out of Erebus.
Griffon quickly realized that it was because he had altered the ninth round program, ensuring that Taya could

changed the program.

challenging the ninth round game or other areas until it was fair.
But Griffon couldn’t let Taya be fooled by these people, so he had
to crack 1-2’s program in the remaining two minutes.
As for whether 1-2 would trigger the chip explosion program after he sent Taya away, it didn’t matter. He wanted
her to live, even if
he died.
Griffon raced against time to crack 1-2’s program, the countdown in his head like a death sentence. His fingers kept
tapping the code, but the screen kept showing a red X.
He thought about how he had been harsh with her and now couldn’t help her leave safely. Tears fell from his deep
blue eyes onto his fingers.
