14. Chapter XIV
"Does she have friends in the other rooms?" Mo Chaoyun asked.
Mo Xun shook his head slowly, and finally sneered: "Friend? Where can there be any friends in this place? ”
After that, there was a moment of silence.
"Ten days, there are still ten days to ......" Hearing Mo Xun whispering, Mo Chaoyun couldn't hear clearly, so he asked: "What ten days?" ”
Mo Xun stared at Mo Chaoyun's eyes: "There are ten more days, and it will be the end of the month." ”
Mo Chaoyun remembered what Chiba said, indeed she needs to know more about the competition at the end of this month, the more detailed the better, and the more detailed it is, the better it will be for her.
"Mo Xun, do you know who is the strongest among the seeds of the Nineteenth Academy?"
Mo Xun frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Except for the competition at the end of the month, the seeds are strictly forbidden to fight in private, and if they are discovered by the courtyard master, they will be severely punished." I've been here for almost a year, and I've only won two competitions, and the results are obvious, I'm still alive, and it's the other party who must die. There is no need to talk about people who have died, no matter how powerful they were, they could no longer be your opponents. ”
Hearing Mo Xun say this, Mo Chaoyun didn't speak again. Chiba said that the end-of-month competition of the Nineteenth Academy was decided by lottery, but she always felt uneasy about Chiba, so she asked Mo Xun: "How does the competition at the end of the month determine the candidates for the two-party competition?" ”
"Draw lots." Mo Xun looked a little uncertain, and didn't want to say more: "Everyone takes turns to draw lots, and whoever signs with red letters will be selected." There are two in the women's hospital and two in the men's hospital, and the final winner of the two houses will determine the final place, that is, only one person can survive in the end. ”
Mo Chaoyun was a little surprised: "Men and women also have to fight each other?" That seems unfair, right? ”
Mo Xun said with a gloomy expression: "Men and women? Only in the first courtyard and the place where they live by comparing beauty can there be a distinction between men and women, and in the nineteenth courtyard there are only strong and weak people, who live or die, there is no distinction between men and women. ”
Mo Xun's eyes in front of her revealed a faint disobedience and toughness, Mo Chaoyun thought for a long time, Mo Xun in front of her who seemed to be a beautiful woman, but a strong man who won both battles, although she didn't know how tragic the competition at the end of the month here was, but judging from the fact that Ye Zhu's ruthless people were afraid of Mo Xun, Mo Xun's strength should not be underestimated. But after thinking about it, even a powerful person like Mo Xun is anxious about the competition at the end of the month, what should it be?
Chiba said that there is a way to win the competition at the end of the month...... What does this mean exactly? How to win? The lottery is a matter of luck, how can it be changed by manpower? Mo Chaoyun had a headache, but she suddenly thought of something, so she asked Mo Xun: "How many lots did you win in your previous two competitions?" ”
"The first time it was 23 signs, the second time it was 34 signs, what's wrong?" Mo Xun asked suspiciously.
Mo Chaoyun was secretly surprised in his heart, but hurriedly asked, "Then how many people are there in the Nineteenth Academy, regardless of gender?" ”
Although Mo Xun didn't understand why Mo Chaoyun asked like this, he still replied: "There are still 21 people in the women's hospital and 19 people in the men's hospital, adding up to exactly 40 people. ”
Mo Chaoyun felt a chill inexplicably in her heart, she couldn't say why, she always felt that there seemed to be some kind of revenant soul attached to her back, the moaning of the revenant soul was in her ears, and the eyes of the revenant soul locked her firmly and couldn't move.
And at this moment, there is a person's voice gradually clear, past her already chaotic thoughts, closer and closer, more and more alert, it is Chiba's voice - do you think that the selection is random, and you will leave your life to fate? You think you're lucky, so you can't just hit you right away, right? …… Mo Chaoyun, you are really not suitable for gambling, you don't know what gambling is. We're gambling your life, with such a big chip, are you going to resign yourself to fate and not fight for your own odds?
Thinking of Chiba's words, and then thinking of Chiba telling her that there is a way to win, her intuition told her that the mystery was in this lottery order, but what was the specific mystery, she still couldn't think of it for a while...... Do you want to sue Mo Xun and ask her opinion? Is Mo Xun someone you can trust?
"Where did you go tonight?" Mo Xun's words interrupted Mo Chaoyun's contemplation, and she coughed dryly, "I am not familiar with life when I first arrived, and something like that happened at night, I was really bored in my heart, so I walked around...... What happened to your hands? Why is it not bandaged? ”
Mo Xun shook his head: "It's not strict, if you come tonight as Ye Zhu, the bandaging will get in the way." ”
Mo Chaoyun was silent: "Do you suspect that Ye Zhu wants to kill you?" ”
Mo Xun's expression looked cold and unfamiliar in the swaying faint light: "I said that there are no so-called friends here, let alone Ye Zhu and I." Today, I am on your side, and I have turned against her. There are four people in this room, she kept me to the end, not because she had a friendship with me, but because she was more jealous of me and didn't have the certainty of killing me with one blow. I'm injured tonight, isn't it a good time for her to wait a long time? She cares about life and death like that, how can she let it go in vain? ”
Indeed, Mo Xun's concern is indeed not unreasonable. But thinking of this, Mo Chaoyun felt guilty again, Mo Xun could have stayed out of the matter, but she was involved by her for no reason and waded into this troubled water, and she is still hesitating whether to guard against her, is it too bright and fair?
"Mo Xun, have you ever thought of a way to win the competition at the end of the month?" Mo Chaoyun looked at Mo Xun with burning eyes.
Mo Xun was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Where is there any way to win?" Before the draw, you don't know who your opponent is, and even if you know who your opponent is, you are not usually in the same courtyard or in the same room, and you don't even have any contact, how do you know the details of this person. Even if you meet every day, just like me and Ye Zhu, but you don't really fight, how do you know what the strength of the other party is? Even if there is a real chance to fight, do you know if the opponent has hidden strength? Except for the life-and-death battle at the end of the final month, but at that time, it was too late, too late. She paused and said: "In my opinion, if there is really a way to win, then I really can't think of any other way to win than not winning the red lottery and staying away from disputes." ”
If you don't compete, you won't lose. If you don't lose, you win...... Could this be the method of winning the game that Chiba refers to?
Suddenly, it was like an initiation, and it seemed that all the mysteries had been inadvertently revealed by Mo Xun. Mo Chaoyun's expression became a little pale, and at this moment, she felt that the young man Qianye she had just met tonight was an extremely terrifying person.
It turned out that the way he said to win was the way to make her fail to draw the red lottery. How can I not win the draw? Why is he so sure that he can really win undefeated? Could it be ......
Implying a cold speculation that spread into her heart, Mo Chaoyun almost felt unbelievable, but when she took a shower and changed clothes before going to bed at night, a small note shattered her heart.
This should be when Chiba was stuffed into her clothes, and the small words inside are concise but alarming: where there are people, there is no fairness, and the battle between life and death is still the same. It would be foolish to leave life and death to fate. The lottery can be manipulated, and I must remind you that this must not be overlooked. The note does not need to be processed, the handwriting will disappear after two hours, the scrap paper will be retrieved by the little mandarin, and the message will also be passed by the little mandarin in the future.
Doing hands and feet? How to do hands and feet...... Wait a minute, if she is the first to go to the lottery and get ahead of everyone, will she be able to avoid being manipulated? That's right, that's what Chiba said. The first one to start, you can avoid someone cheating and put it in the dead lot.
Cold sweat finally slid silently down the freshly washed back, and this Chiba was simply unpredictable...... However, who is the little mandarin duck in Chiba's mouth? He didn't tell her what the little mandarin duck looked like, how could she recognize it?
Mo Xun should have fallen asleep, but Mo Chaoyun had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't sleep. Sure enough, this place is different from what she thought, as Mo Xun said, there are no friends here, and the deepest obsession in everyone's heart is how to let others die in front of them, and they can stay until the end. She still remembered the gloomy words Mo Xun said: This is a place to step on other people's bones and live desperately.
In order to survive, what despicable means cannot be used? Mo Chaoyun suddenly felt very ironic, why was she so tossing and turning at this moment? For the sake of heavenly injustice? Or are you worried about your fate and life and death?
She didn't know, and at this moment, she didn't know either. But only one thing is certain, and that is the first signing. Chiba's idea is not only the best idea, but also the most appropriate. Once she wins the red lottery, whether she is killed by others, or she kills others in order to survive, it is something that she can't imagine at this moment, and she can't do it at all.
