Chapter 052 Record of Fear
Investigation Bureau 7, Analysis Division.
At this moment, on the big screen, Flora was standing in the middle of the steps, holding the railing with one hand and holding a flashlight in the other.
She didn't move forward a single step, just standing there .
The data monitored below showed that Flora was two hundred meters underground, which was the limit of her reach.
At some point, a large number of irrelevant personnel gathered in the observation room. All the researchers in the analysis department who had nothing to do came here to watch the two newcomers challenge the fear stairs.
Seeing Flora reach a depth of two hundred meters, everyone was amazed.
"That's amazing. I've never seen anyone sink so fast. To be able to reach a depth of 200 meters is a bit unscientific."
"And she's still holding on. She didn't even turn around and run."
"Fang Ling, have you ever seen such a situation before?" one of them asked.
"This example is indeed very special. I have never seen it before," said Fang Ling.
Fang Ling had seen people who sank quickly but to a very deep depth, but he had never heard of anyone who sank so quickly and to such a deep depth and yet could still hold out against the monster.
Once a person walking on the fear staircase reaches the limit of fear, he will see the so-called "monster".
This monster never appears on the surveillance screen and always hides in the darkness. No one can see it except those who have reached the limit of fear.
Ninety-nine percent of people who see the monster will be scared to death and run away.
The urge to escape quickly cannot be overcome by reason or courage; it is a strong primitive fear awakened from the deepest part of the soul.
Zhang Tianxiao glanced at Xi Wei and said calmly, "You ran away at that time, right?"
"Didn't you run away too?" Sylvie replied.
Fang Ling: "The fact that you turned and ran away when you saw the monster proves that you have reached your true limit. But if you can hold your ground against the monster, it means that you may be able to further increase the limit of fear in the future. It seems that Flora has great potential."
"You mean, our special attack unit has found a treasure?"
"That's right! But... compared to him, Flora's performance can only be described as average." Fang Ling said, pointing at Su Ming on the screen.
Sylvie looked at the screen that captured Su Ming.
In the picture, Su Ming was continuing to walk slowly down at a very steady speed.
He is now fifty meters underground. It is very abnormal that the depth is only this low after such a long time. The descent speed is too slow, it is simply ridiculously slow.
A slow sinking speed is actually a good thing, as it means that he can maintain a high combat power for a longer period of time when facing demons.
But Su Ming's sinking speed was so slow that Sylvie didn't feel happy. Instead, she felt... very weird!
"No, I can't help it. I have to retrieve the data of Minister Ye Xing and Sylvie and compare it with his." Fang Ling said as he operated the computer and began to search for the test records of Ye Xing and Sylvie.
"Ye Xing, that kid...it's such a pity."
Hearing Ye Xing 's name, a researcher behind him sighed.
"If he hadn't been so impulsive, he would have been the ace in the seventh inning by now."
"I have never met anyone like him in my life. He was annoying when he was around, but I missed him a lot after he left."
Others echoed the sentiment. Sylvie frowned and remained silent, her eyes dimming a little.
"Okay! Found it!"
Fang Ling separated a small blank area on the big screen to display the data of the night star.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no matter how many times I watch it, it's still outrageous."
"Yeah, it's almost like cheating."
The data above show that the maximum depth of Night Star is 330 meters, and it took him almost 18 hours to reach this depth, sinking an average of 18 meters per hour.
The Investigation Bureau Seven has only a ten-year history on Dongyang Island, and the Couples' Secret House project was only put into testing seven years ago, so there is only seven years of data.
Because the Staircase of Fear is a very interesting anomaly, the people in the analysis department integrated all the data and made two lists, namely the speed list and the depth list.
Among the people who participated in the test over the seven years, Sylvie had the slowest average sinking speed, sinking only 10 meters per hour on average.
The deepest limit depth is Night Star, reaching an astonishing 330 meters, far exceeding the second place Sylvie by 70 meters!
Both of Ye Xing's statistics are amazing, his depth is the deepest in the entire investigation bureau, and his sinking speed is slow enough to rank at the top of the sinking list.
Because of this, whenever there are new people who think highly of themselves joining the Investigation Bureau, the Analysis Department will use Ye Xing's data to suppress them. Basically, in front of Ye Xing, any genius will be eclipsed.
But this time, the situation is a little special.
So far, Su Ming and Flora have been in there for eight hours. Flora has now touched the bottom. She sinks an average of 25 meters per hour, and her maximum depth is 200 meters, which is a very excellent result.
However, Su Ming's current depth is only 50 meters.
That is to say, he had only sunk 6.25 meters every hour before.
"Did you see that? Minister Sylvie's position as number one might be at risk." Fang Ling joked.
Sylvie shrugged. "It would be nice if he could do that. I hope he can surpass me. But it's too early to draw conclusions now, because the sinking speed has been getting faster and faster. The initial slow sinking speed doesn't mean anything."
Fang Ling smiled and tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard, integrating Su Ming's current data and making a line chart.
"This is Su Ming's rate change, you can see for yourself."
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed in amazement, and everyone couldn't help but come closer to take a look at this incredible line chart.
The line on this line graph shows an upward trend in a wave-like manner, and then after reaching a peak, it drops rapidly and finally returns to a level of 2.5 meters per hour. This means that Su Ming's sinking speed increased and then strangely dropped back to an extremely low speed.
"Oh my god, what is going on!!" a researcher gasped.
He is the person who is responsible for data collation and is also responsible for saving the data on the fear stairs. As far as he can remember, this situation has never happened before.
The overall trend of sinking speed has always been getting faster and faster. This is the first time he has seen a situation like Su Ming.
Sylvie also frowned, a look of confusion on her face.
Fang Ling stared at the screen and explained slowly: "The increase in his sinking speed was mainly during the period when he was communicating with Flora, but after Flora disappeared, his sinking speed immediately returned to the normal level when he first entered the stairs.
If I remember correctly, this should be the first case since the open beta test... right?"
