"Well, we're friends from now on, at least until the fight begins. ”

Before, I didn't know if Jian Zhiheng's words played a role, or if the armored man had other plans, he was silent for a moment, and he really put away his weapon. Although his gaze before turning around was still so fierce that it made the demon young man's scalp tingle.

Next, the house entered the calm before the storm. The ten people sat down in each of the assigned wooden chairs, forming a circle, and there was a bit of leisure like a tea party. If you see it to people who don't know the truth, you might really think that the atmosphere here is so harmonious.

"To be able to meet is fate, how about we introduce ourselves?" Naturally, the situation has evolved so far, and it is all up to Bai Yun to thread the needle in it, "Let's start with me." I'm Bai Yun, and I've just started working as a bounty hunter, and I'm here because of the assignment I received in the Mercenary Guild, what about everyone?"

There was a brief silence. It's no wonder that although most of the people here are spiritual cultivators and their minds are more calm than ordinary people, it is still difficult for them to form good relationships with each other in the face of a group of "potential enemies" who will fight to the death tomorrow. What's more, being honest about your background may also expose your own shortcomings, which is very detrimental to tomorrow's battle-

For a while, no one answered, and Bai Yun's delicate willow eyebrows also drooped slightly. Feng Qiu couldn't bear to see his girlfriend cold, so he took the initiative to take it: "Feng Qiu, bounty hunter." After looking around, he raised his hand to hug Bai Yun again, and added, "It's Yun'er's fiancé." ”

Ye Shuo smiled bitterly, please, you don't have to show affection all the time...... Under the expectant gaze of the two, he also briefly answered: "Ye Shuo, loose cultivation." ”

"It's not necessary, but I'll tell you. The beautiful man of the demon clan reclined in the recliner and stroked his long hair leisurely, "The prince of the silver fox clan, Duanmuzhi." Our Silver Fox Clan is a gorgeous race that can travel through time freely, and if it is truly a treasure of time, it should belong to our clan. ”

People have a herd heart, and after the first four people have made introductions, the rest of the people seem to be much more relaxed. The demon young man mustered up the courage to speak, "My name is Xi Hanjun. Identity...... Everyone already knows that. This time I came here because I have never been taken seriously, so this time, I also want to follow Princess Guan Xuan and His Royal Highness Flame Flame, hoping to help them, so as to be recognized by the elders of the clan......"

His gaze was evasive, still not daring to lift it completely. In the end, his voice became softer and softer, "Although, His Highness Flame didn't welcome me from the beginning......"

"Demons, you must die!" the armored man on the side said like ice.

The beautiful man of the demon clan leaned back in the chair, and swept over with contempt: "It's annoying, then we'll call you 'Demon Death'." Next. ”

This strange name made the armored man speechless for a long time. Just when everyone thought that he would not speak again, under the low-hanging hood, there was an urn sound: "...... The sword does not return. ”

"Don't blame me for not saying ugly things in front, you actually trust the demons, and you will only bring about your own destruction. Jian Bugui then added coldly, this was the first time everyone had heard him say such a long word.

Xi Hanjun's body shrank into the chair again, so cowardly that he seemed to want to turn into a piece of sawdust in the chair, and his hands hanging on his knees couldn't help shaking.

The petite and delicate girl timidly spoke: "I...... My name is Yu Ning, and I am a white rabbit demon. Although I have eaten the Transformation Pill, perhaps because of my lack of skill, my ears are often exposed......"

As soon as she finished speaking, her two long, pointed ears stood up as if they were in response to the situation. Yu Ning raised his hand to press his ear in a panic, and his cheeks were silently flushed.

"I'm here because I have a good sister whose boyfriend was eroded by the power of time not long ago, so ...... I hope I can do my sister a little favor......"

Yu Ning's voice was very thin, slightly raised due to panic, with a swaying tremor, and with her weak appearance, she had a pitiful style.

"Ah, after coming here, because I have been so scared, I forgot to contact my sister......" Yu Ning seemed to think of something, quickly took out the jade slip, and after connecting it on the other side, he said anxiously: "Sister, I have arrived at the Time Clock Tower, don't worry, I will definitely get the ...... of the Treasure of Time!"

The tone from the other side was a little strange: "Hey...... I said you, did you really run away?"

Yu Ning nodded again and again, and after a moment of silence on the other side, a burst of shrill laughter suddenly erupted.

"Sure enough, you're still so easy to deceive!Hahahahaha, laughing so much that tears came out of my eyes! Several of you have lost, hurry up and pay obediently......"

Yu Ning held the jade slip, and the whole person was stupid on the spot. With such an unfamiliar tone and laughter, is this really the gentle and kind sister she knew before, who will always take care of herself patiently?

There was a cacophony of voices on the other side, and a few rude curses could be faintly heard, as if complaining about why Yu Ning was so stupid and caused them to lose money in gambling. In the crisp jingle of the spirit stone, the voice of "sister" sounded again.

"Yu Ning, you don't have to come back in the future, sister, when I see this money, I will be like seeing you-"

Yu Ning's wide-open eyes gradually filled with tears, which slid down her cheeks again, reflecting a hazy look in front of her eyes: "What...... How could this be......" Yu Jian slipped from between her feeble fingers and fell to the floor, faintly still audible the presumptuous laughter of the other side.

Myself...... Was I deceived? It was just because of a bet and a lie between my sister and other people that they tricked me into this dangerous place and forced me to participate in the next game of gambling. I...... I'm probably going to die...... Why......

The laughter in the jade slip was suddenly inaudible, and at the same time, a pair of warm hands also covered the back of his trembling hands.

"Yu Ning, it's okay, we will definitely protect you. Bai Yun stared at her seriously, "This 'game', everyone has to survive together!"

Yu Ning raised her gaze timidly. Can you trust her? Is it really possible? My sister used to be as gentle as she was when she talked to me, but just now, I was deceived...... Anyway, she just wants to appease me for a while and kill me when I let my guard down, and besides, she's still human......

Thinking of this, Yu Ning's palm suddenly shrank back, and Bai Yun only thought that she was trembling unconsciously, and clenched her harder. Yu Ning stared at the hands of the two of them, and slowly moved his gaze upward. And what she came into contact with was a pair of quiet and gentle eyes like blue waves. The helplessness and sadness after the steep betrayal seem to have gradually dissolved under this still water-like comfort.

Oh, yes...... Although I was betrayed by my sister, there are always more good people in this world......, right? She really wants to help me, and in this case, I can only trust her, right?

"Hey, the atmosphere is so heavy, then it's up to me next. Jian Zhiheng briefly moved his limbs in the chair, "As I said just now, my name is Jian Zhiheng, and Ah Lin are both fresh graduates of Tiansheng Academy and the main force of the former school sports team. Both of us are planning to enter the Tiangong Gate, so we haven't looked for a job for the time being, after hearing about the Time Clock Tower, we purely want to come to explore and have fun, who knows that this kind of thing will happen. ”

The melancholy young man beside him received his gaze, and just coldly spit out two words: "Guan Linden." He still didn't look at anyone, his voice as indifferent as if he was alone in another dimension. Ye Shuo and the others had long heard Jian Zhiheng call him "A Linden", and it took a while to understand that he was reporting his name.

The fat man named Pang Zuo, who was sitting at the end, listened quietly, and suddenly sighed a long breath: "Heavenly Sage...... It's so good, I also wanted to take the Tiansheng exam before, but unfortunately I didn't make the list. Then if there is no background in the higher colleges, the admission score is frighteningly high......"

"Heavenly Sage?" Ye Shuo frowned suspiciously.

"Why, you don't know," Pang Zuo showed an exaggerated look up expression, "The Heavenly Saint Academy of the Heavenly Saint Country, the highest academy in the entire Spirit Continent!"

"Speaking of which, isn't that legendary school bully in the third grade still unfinished?" Hearing someone talk about his alma mater, Jian Zhiheng seemed to have momentum, sat up straight, and asked to his side.

Guan Lin let out a faint "um", showing a rare interest: "Do you know him?"

Jian Zhiheng smiled: "When I was in the school sports team before, I had a few simple contacts, and he was a very interesting guy." The strength can be said to be no less than that of some tutors, but the cultural class is a mess, and it is unqualified every year. Speaking of which, although I am very curious, how did someone like him get into the Heavenly Saint in the first place......"

Seeing that the two people in front of them really wanted to lead the topic to the ordinary dormitory forum, Feng Qiu had to interrupt them: "Now is not the time for you to reminisce about the life of the academy, should you discuss how to get out of the current bad situation? After all, the 'game' can start at any time!"

Bai Yun was the first to stand up, with a resolute expression: "I will never fight with everyone!" I think, let's promise each other here first, and we will never participate in the 'game' tomorrow!"

Duanmuzhi glanced at her lazily: "Miss, you can't do that." ”

"Since the rules of the game are to kill until the last person is left, there will definitely be people who betray halfway. If you still regard the traitor as your companion, you can imagine what will happen to you, right?"

Although this sentence is cruel, it is also extremely realistic. Many of them, who had already let down their guard a little because of the "self-introduction" just now, regained their vigilance and looked at others with the same eyes as they looked at the enemy.

Bai Yun hurriedly said, "So...... At least the people in this room promised each other that they would never fight each other, okay......? Haven't you all introduced yourself yet? We can be companions!"

Duanmuzhi sighed and squinted at her with a "unteachable" gaze: "If you want to do that kind of boring thing, you can go." Tomorrow I will go separately from you. After brushing his long hair again, he walked towards his own big bed.

The rest of the crowd looked at each other, and the second stood up and left, and as in the previous herd trend, the rest left one by one. In the end, in addition to Bai Yun, only Ye Shuo, Feng Qiu and Yu Ning remained.

"How...... Why ...... like this" Bai Yun hung his head in frustration. If you want to unite everyone, you still can't do it......?

At the same time, in the fourth room.

There was a corpse lying on the ground, blood pooling on its side. The crowd gathered around him, stammering, and it took a while to look at the girl who was alone not far away, holding a long sword and a beautiful face, but with a frosty mask.

"Hey, the rules say we'll start fighting tomorrow!" someone shouted tremblingly.

The girl's cold gaze swept back: "But the rules don't say that you can't start reducing competitors from tonight first." With a flick of his long hair, he strolled away, and Sen Han's voice came coldly, "A coward like this, even if you stay, it will only get in the way." ”

The people in the same place looked at the corpse in a daze for a long time, and suddenly someone screamed, "I said...... If you want to reduce your competitors, shouldn't you first deal with this terrifying woman who can kill people without changing her face?"

If we don't deal with her first, who knows how many people will die under her sword on this night alone......? Everyone nodded in their hearts, looked at the girl's back, and quietly pressed the weapon in their hands.

The girl's footsteps actually paused, turned around, and walked over step by step, her eyes were cold, and her smile was full of ridicule: "So far, don't you tell me that you have never killed anyone?"

The previous advocate was oppressed by her arrogance, although he trembled slightly, but thinking that the other party was the public enemy in this room, his confidence suddenly strengthened a little, and he shouted with a stiff neck: "I...... I just haven't killed anyone! Why do you have to kill people to become strong?"

The girl's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded approvingly: "Oh, that's your freedom, but ......"

With a flash of the sword, another corpse fell, with a piercing blood mark on its neck.

"If you don't kill someone, you're just waiting to be killed by someone else!" the girl looked down at the dead man with round eyes, and coldly continued the unfinished words.

"Damn, who the hell is that woman?" said someone in a whisper after the girl had turned away. Previously, the opponent's move was extremely fast, killing them with one move, so that they didn't have time to react at all. Everyone thought to themselves, if the sword was aimed at him, he was afraid that he would not be able to dodge it.

Everyone shook their heads, they had only entered this room by chance, and how did they know the origin of the others. After a while, a girl with medium-long curly hair said softly, "She is the daughter of the leader of the Evil Wind Sect, and she is also my fellow senior sister, Jiang Caini. ”

"Cult ...... Evil Wind Sect" Everyone looked at each other, "I said that this is the subordinate force of the Nine Shadows Palace, right?"

"With such a background, no wonder it's so domineering......"

Although the room has been expanded to eight people, there is no separate bedroom, and the eight beds are arranged in pairs in the hall. Although everyone had lowered their voices before, it still reached Jiang Caini's ears word for word, and she turned her head beside the bed, squinting at the talking girl proudly.

"You girl has a lot of mouths. Fellow sister, what's your name?"

The girl bit her lip and whispered, "Jin Siqi." ”

Jiang Caini snorted coldly: "I thought you were called Canary before, and I thought your parents really wanted to open it." ”

The room fell into an awkward silence again. Only one teenager had not participated in the previous chaos from beginning to end, and sat alone in the corner, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a thick bookish face on his face, like a standard model student in the academy. Fiddling with the jade slip in his hand, he pushed his glasses at random, and a sharp dark light reflected on the lenses.
