Chapter 200: Let's Make a Bet
But Xu Huo ignored him and said directly, "There's no need to scout ahead."
"Whether or not the next floor is dangerous, we have to take the elevator down. As long as we stay on guard when the doors open, we'll get the same effect as scouting ahead."
Tie Ge's little tricks didn't impress him. Xu Huo had no desire to say more, so he looked at Dai Wenqian. "Let's make a bet."
Dai Wenqian became interested. "What kind of bet?"
"Let's bet on whose luck is better," Xu Huo said. "There are ten elevators. We'll see which one gets picked. Leaving the two of us aside, whoever gets picked between you and me gets to decide how the elevators are assigned on the next floor."
Dai Wenqian smiled. "You seem pretty confident."
"Fine. But I think we should spread out a little this round. There are enough elevators anyway."
Including the person who had just been killed, the dead and missing totaled sixty-five people. That left 130 people, exactly enough to fill the ten elevators without anyone left over or any seats to spare.
But if Xu Huo's deduction was right, then by the time the elevators reached the Ninth Floor, only the people in nine elevators would be left.

The best solution was to reduce the number of people by thirteen, ensuring the other nine elevators would all be safe, just like when they had come down from the Thirteenth and Twelfth Floors.
But whether they randomly killed people or left thirteen behind on the Eleventh Floor, those thirteen people would almost certainly die. If
