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.
Griffon looked at the red targeting line aimed at Taya's head 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.
