Chapter 354: Eighty-Third Floor, The Void (4)
[Uncover the truth, then decide. Time remaining: 46 hours 4 minutes.]
Unperturbed, I read the message. The floors had changed and seemed completely unrelated to what I had been doing.
In its place, the tower had added two new directives. Strangely, not only had the trial changed, but the description carried a weight to it. They hinted at something I hadn’t found yet.
It was a new clue.
What is it trying to tell me?
The decision would clearly be between the inhabitants of the Void and the alien species stationed at the forward base. What I wondered about, though, was what the tower meant about uncovering the full truth.
As it stood, I only knew some surface-level information. The leaders behind the forward base had invaded the Void to extract its resources. In doing so, they had sacrificed their own citizens to rob the monsters of their lives and their home.
However, if that were all there was to it, the tower wouldn’t have phrased it in such a way.
This area wouldn’t be in such a state, either.
It seemed plausible that the monsters had laid a trap for the colonizers, resulting in the attack team’s demise. Perhaps the horde of monsters had been a feint, all to lure their enemies into a counterattack against the invaders.
To bring in their main force, they would certainly need a massive dimensional gate like the one I had seen earlier.
It was a compelling theory, especially considering that the colonizers had pulled similar tricks before.
