Chapter 971: Fate
On the back of Elise's hand, a string of numbers glowed faintly.
403822。
This is the serial number she got from the lottery that she just participated in the Hundred Zheng Ensemble.
"By the time I arrived, there were more than 400,000 people." Elise stared at the row of numbers and muttered.
"It's hard to say, maybe it's divided by area code? Because our divine habitat is basically a serial number, I also start with 4038. Hearing Elise's words, Militus also put his hand in front of her and shook it, and there was a number similar to hers on it.
"Ah, me too." The fireworks also confirm this statement.
"However, even if we are really hundreds of thousands away, this statement is probably not an exaggeration, right?" Lubloom smiled wryly, "And I always think that the number of users of this game should be more than we thought." ”
"Not necessarily." Nangong shook his head early and night, "The first thing that can afford a home game cabin is already a small group, even if you count those who choose to go to an Internet café to play this game, its entire group is probably not enough to provide more than 400,000 people to participate in this so-called Baizheng Ensemble, right?" ”
Indeed, Nangong's statement of the morning and night is not unreasonable.
"Okay then." Lublum seemed to accept the argument and then looked back at the clock in the viewing hall, "The draw is three minutes away." ”
"The lottery is okay." Elise let out a voice that didn't know whether to laugh or snort, "You really have a nasty sense of humor at such times." ”
"But ......," she smiled self-deprecatingly again, "you're right, especially since for me, it's a lottery." ”
"Uh...... So now everyone is assuming that the Hinakami White Night will definitely join this battle royale? Millitus looked around at the expressions of the crowd, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
"That should be a matter of course." Xiaoyu Hanaby crossed Erlang's legs on the chair and clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Otherwise, I can't figure out why the official would suddenly hold such an event." ”
"Maybe it's just to liven up the atmosphere? Like a real festival? Although Militus may have acquiesced in his mind, his mouth still seemed a little stubborn.
"Please, Militus, do you think it's a summer festival?" Hanako shook her head with a sneer, "I know you're working hard and thinking positively, but now isn't the time. ”
"I ......"
Militus was speechless, then lowered his head slightly.
And just as he looked down, he saw the back of Hikotsuki Hokusai's left hand, who had returned to his seat at some point.
There's also a number, 403823.
……
[The registration period has ended, and I apologize to the contestants who failed to catch up with the registration.] 】
[The lottery list will be announced next, please pay attention to the announcement and pay attention to the bulletin board, thank you.] 】
Three minutes is not a long time, even for a couple in love waiting for a date, it is not an unbearable time.
So, everyone's eyes were focused on the bulletin board, and everyone's ears were ready to listen.
[First of all, the list of the top ten players who were selected to enter the Baizheng Ensemble will be announced! ] They are......]
As the electronic sound sounds, several meaningless strings of numbers and some names that have never been heard before are revealed to everyone.
"It seems that no matter what they say, they won't be so blatant as to directly put the young god White Night in the first place." The dark fireworks on the side spit out a groove.
Then twenty, thirty, forty.
It wasn't until the fifty-third place that everyone in the viewing hall heard a familiar name.
[Fifty-third place, serial number 403823 - Hikotsuki Hokusai. 】
After hearing this name, everyone was stunned for a second, and then they all turned their eyes to Hikotsuki Hokusai, who was sitting upright on the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.
"Looks like this knife can be unsheathed again."
Then, he opened his eyes and uttered the first words after so many days of silence.
But the reading of the announcement continues.
[60th ......]
[70th place......
[80th ......]
Everyone's spirits were tense, for fear that the announcement would read them, and they would just miss that moment.
Especially Elise.
After all, if it was just about the idea of [wanting to fight against Hinagami White Night], she wouldn't lose to anyone here.
Then, the eighties to eighty-ninth are over.
Only the last ten players left in the list of players who were selected for the lottery remained.
But no one complained, and no one spoke.
They just listened quietly.
[Ninety-first place, serial number ......]
This man is an unknown person and has no meaning.
[Ninety-second place, serial number ......]
Neither is this man.
[Ninety-third place, serial number 40382——]
What the?
When the number reached the fifth position, the whole world seemed to stand still in Elise's eyes.
Elise's brain burned, and her eyes were fixed on the screen, waiting for the last digit to appear.
[403821 - White Night of the Hina God. 】
403821。
Hina God White Night.
Unexpectedly, there was only a one-digit difference with Elise's serial number.
It can even be said that his serial number is by Elise's side.
"How could it be ......?"
Elise had already prepared in her heart that she would not be chosen, and she was also prepared that the young god White Night would definitely be determined, but she didn't expect that things would develop like this.
"It's only one number different from me?" Her eyes were fixed on the back of her hand, half surprised and half hesitant in her eyes.
In fact, not only her, but everyone present was just as surprised as she was.
But since no one knew what the rules of the ordinal numbers were, they couldn't say anything other than "it's a coincidence."
[All the players who have been selected have been drawn, please prepare within five minutes, and the players will be teleported directly to the competition venue.] 】
[There are still five minutes left before the start of the game.] 】
"So the only one chosen on our side of Kamisu is Hikotsuki Hokusai, right......?" Militus recovered from the shock and confirmed the fact to those around him.
"Seems so." Hanako nodded, then spread his hands, "But I don't have the confidence to communicate with him, so all I can do is watch the fight." ”
"But......" she thought for a moment, and then added, "Hikotsuki Hokusai to the Hina God Hakuya...... I'm afraid this shouldn't be a duel that is over with just getting information. ”
