Chapter 18: The Rules of Peek-A-boo
The man strode forward and walked in front of Ruri. "I mean to say. I won't follow such nonsensical rules. If you want teammates, you can form a team of three people just after losing them. And wouldn't it be a pity for a strong man like me to quit the parade because of a weak dragger? ”
"Oh, you're strong, aren't you?" Ruri smiled even brighter, as if she had heard a very funny joke. "Then I'll tell you one thing in particular. If you can defeat the examiner, you can also successfully advance to the next level. ”
Looking at Liuli's thin figure, the man sneered disdainfully and put on a fighting posture. "Weak examiner? Then it is better to be respectful than to obey the fate. The man shouted, "Ability activated, ...... of the World Tree"
Before he could finish speaking, Ruri lifted her foot and walked slowly past him. Time seemed to be stopped, and there was an eerie silence for two seconds, and the man stood motionless. Suddenly, the man's forehead was partially crooked, and then slowly slid down his mandible, falling to the ground with a 'thud'. A large amount of blood poured out of the man's head like a fountain.
"Evil, ah." The crowd retreated, mingled with screams and vomiting.
"Heck, is it the Adept from the World Tree set? It's a shame. Liuli 'tsk', shook off the piano in his hand, and removed the blood droplets that had accidentally hung on the strings. It was only then that people noticed that his strings were stained with blood. "However, when the examiner is attacked during the parade, he is the only one who is allowed to kill."
"Don't underestimate me, not everyone can let my men be merciful." Liuli's eyes crossed Du Yin Mountain's face, his hand was lightly raised, and a handful of plant seeds fell to the ground at his feet with his movements. Liuli gently shook the piano in her hand, and as the music played, the seeds on the ground began to take root and sprout, burying themselves in the ground. Then the ground churned, and the plants broke through the ground. "It's ironic that humans are not the only ones who can understand music, and some plants have a much stronger sense of music than humans."
The continuous change of the music in Liuli's hand is filled with the melody of spring growth, and the sunset is full of life. The plant grew into a long stalk that lifted him up, and a few other vines pointed straight at the crowd. Liuli looked down at the crowd with an indifferent expression. "Is anyone else going to fight me?"
Although the "hateful ......" was very unwilling to leave the stage, the monster-like examiner in front of them made them unable to start. Those who didn't have teammates had to leave in a huff.
Ruri watched the group slowly walk away from the exit and nodded with satisfaction.
"Since everyone who should quit singing is gone, so be it." Ruri's music stopped and jumped off the stalk of the plant. Instead, Huamian pulled a zipper from the back of the rag doll on her body, and then took it out.
Whisper keenly caught a few sounds of breaking the air in the dark space, and then several people in the crowd slowly fell. Huamian Shi Shiran put away the needle nail in his hand and put it back behind the rag doll. Forehead...... It seems that it is a sewing needle or other utensils used by women to sew clothes, right? Whispering blinked. "Really, Hua Mian has obviously said that she is looking at you, and she still wants to fish in troubled waters. Nasty guys. Hua Mian complained, and as soon as she beckoned, a working master of ceremonies walked in and cleaned up these people who had neither passed the assessment nor were willing to leave.
After excluding those who left the venue, the number of people present dropped dramatically, to only about a few hundred.
"Congratulations to all of you who have successfully passed the first level of assessment. In order to save time, I will introduce you to the assessment rules of the second level while I am leading the way. Hua Mian landed beside Liuli, and made a guiding posture to everyone, so that everyone could follow her. The topic of the second level is hide and seek, and the rules are simple. ”
"Out of a group of three members, one person is chosen as a ghost, and the other two are hiding. Both the hider and the ghost have their own markings, and if they are left behind, they are considered out. At the beginning of the assessment, the guide of the second level will perform a hallucination disguise on the first hiding. When a ghost enters the room, physical contact with the person in hiding is considered invalid. When the illusion is ineffective, the hider and the ghost can attack each other.
It is forbidden for people who are in the hallucination disguise to attack each other, and it is forbidden to attack those who are still in the hallucination disguise.
There is no limit to the battle between the ghosts, there is no limit to the communication between the ghosts and the hiding, there is no restriction on the communication between the hiding, and there is no special marking of the oni.
The goal is to knock out all the other players while trying to protect your teammates from injury. ”
Hua Mian smiled treacherously, covering half of her face with a rag doll, "Same as the first level, if a team member loses one, it will be regarded as all eliminated." There are no necessary clearance restrictions. However, Hua Mian is kind enough to give you a small hint: the more people left in the second level, the more bad it will be for you in the third level. If only three teams are left, then all players can pass the third level. But if all the teams stay, then no one will make it through the third level. ”
"What a cunning statement." Even Qingyan sensed the intention of Hua Mian's words, "It's okay to say that you don't fight at all, but it's completely provoking people to kill each other." ”
"It's probably more than just literal." Guan Yue thought for a while and said, "It is not forbidden for the hiders to attack the ghosts, which means that the ghosts have to judge and avoid their own team members among the countless hiders. Not only do you have to bear the risk of being sniped indefinitely, but you also have to bear the task of supporting your own members. ”
"Team members can cooperate with each other, but mutual protection and deception are also possible." Whisper added, "For example, I'm your companion, but please keep me disguised; I am your companion, and if you don't believe me, you can approach me and wash away your disguise. are quite dangerous flags. ”
Since ghosts and hiders do not enter the arena at the same time, it is very dangerous to identify their companions. Bai Xuan listened to the whispers and the words of Guanyue thoughtfully.
"What do you think?" Whisper elbowed the summit north.
"Coordination and identification among team members is obviously crucial, but I am more concerned about other issues." Fengbei, as always, calmly thinks about the possibility of the level. "Will the organizers directly participate in interfering with this level and attacking the supernatural; Whether the ghost and hidinger marks are interchangeable, and whether or not the swap means the identity is swapped. Whether the hider's disguise is limited to humans, and whether or not the same face as someone present. So much so that the location and environment of the level will probably become a crucial factor. "Indeed, differences in the judgment of the enemy and the prediction of variables may change the situation at any time." Guan Yue nodded. Du Yinshan yawned impatiently. "It's troublesome, why do you hear so different rules than you?" "What do you hear?" Du Yin Shan was excited. "Didn't the examiner say: as long as anyone who attacks me, I will be beaten down?" Guan Yue and Feng Bei thought for a moment, looked at each other, and then laughed. It seems that they are thinking too complicated.
Whisper touched Du Yinshan's hair, "Obviously a stupid person, how can you say something that makes people feel very reasonable?" ”
…… You're stupid, your whole family is stupid.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hua Mian's eyes in the distance, and he casually glanced at a few people. The sound of discussion behind her completely fell on her ears, she didn't expect such a person to exist.
There seem to be a lot of great talents in this tour. As she spoke, Hua Mian brought everyone to the island. "It seems that everyone now has a certain understanding of the second level, so please take a break here."
A large square has been cleared out of the island. One part of the plaza is stocked with various medicines for emergency wound treatment, while on the other side there are daily necessities such as food and clothing.
Hua Mian and Liuli said hello to everyone, and their figures disappeared at the end of the team at the same time, leaving a sentence at the end. "By the way, cannibalism in a safe zone is absolutely forbidden." Whisper walked over to the place where Blossom Sleep and Ruri had disappeared and took a closer look, trying to activate the ability, but to no avail. "I don't know if it's an illusion or a movement-type ability, but I can't find any traces."
"Whispering, more than that." Qing Yan walked to the side with some squirms, picked up a piece of supplies and clothes, and handed it to Whisper. "You can stay with me...... Well......" "What to do with you?" Whispering looked up and met Qingyan's writhing face.
…… Wait, what does this weird mystery blush mean? Miss, what do you want me to do with you, just say it directly, okay? Don't you see that the people around you look at us wrongly?
"You can go over there." Guan Yue kindly pointed in a direction. "I just saw a couple of female parapowers go straight by."
Wait, why is even Guan Yue's face red?
"Sister Whisper, let's go." Bai Xuan grabbed the whisper that didn't know what was going on.
