"Although there is still an hour before the bell rings for Chinese New Year's Eve, please see..."

"As in previous years, there are countless tourists who want to enter the shrine to ring the New Year's bell, and they are currently waiting at the entrance of the outermost shrine..."

The camera perspective of the live broadcast scanned around, and the endless crowd was in sight, and the black pressure could not see the edge.

"Please wait a minute." The reporter stopped three beautiful girls in kimonos and said politely: "Hello, I am a reporter from the TV station, and I am currently conducting a live broadcast of the Chinese New Year's Eve Festival..."

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

“…”

"Absolutely." Notice that both Zero and Reina looked at themselves, and Ryu took a step forward and responded to the host's words with a smile.

"Thank you very much..."The host was obviously very well prepared, and after Lie agreed, he asked, "Are the three of you going to ring the New Year's bell?" ”

Ryol, noticing that the camera was already shining on him, smiled slightly, and continued to reply, "That's right, we're going to ring the New Year's bell." ”

"However, if you want to ring the one hundred and eight bells first, you must first pass the trial level of the shrine... Ten minutes later, you will officially enter the level, are you confident that you will succeed in the challenge? ”

“…”

Every year, a large number of tourists come here who want to ring the New Year's bell, but there are only a limited number of 108 bells that can ring the Chinese New Year's Eve... Therefore, it will be decided by the way of passing through the trial!

The reporter took the opportunity of interviewing Lie and his entourage to tell the camera about the rules of the trial again.

"From the entrance of the shrine to the location of the ancient bell, there are two checkpoints... The first to ring the New Year's bell are the first 108 successful tourists. ”

"The time to ring the bell is 0:00:00 for the New Year, and the entrance to the shrine will open fifty minutes early, when all the challengers will enter..."

"According to the tradition of previous years, the first hurdle is - the labyrinth!"

"When the challenger enters the shrine gate, he or she will walk directly into the maze specially set up for this purpose, and if he successfully walks out, he will pass the first level... As for the remaining second level, let's wait and see! ”

After explaining the rules, the reporter turned the camera to Lie, who wanted to leave, and said with a smile: "The TV station has been set up, and the whole process of breaking through the level will be broadcast live, and I hope to see the three of them again in front of Gu Zhong in the future." ”

“…”

"Thank you." The host left with the camera crew, and Lie and his entourage walked towards the entrance of the shrine... After being interviewed on TV, there were less than three minutes left before the entrance to the shrine opened.

…

"I'm glad I caught up..."Looking at the surging crowd in front of him, I couldn't help but have a headache... Just looking at Zero and Reina, who was already gearing up and excited around him, Lie had no choice but to continue walking.

It's been a few minutes since the entrance passage was opened, and the surging crowd outside had disappeared a lot, and the speed of entry was very fast.

"Can it accommodate so many people?" Reina walked in curiously.

Lie and Zero followed, and while looking around, he walked in from the entrance of the shrine.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Lie apologized in his heart, and then cast the soul network!

Walking the maze is quite easy for Lie who has a soul network, as for whether it counts as cheating... Don't think about it so much now.

The network of souls covered the labyrinth, starting from the only exit, and soon outlining the route to the location of Lie and his party in reverse.

"I see..."After Lie came in, he also wondered why the tourists who went in disappeared so quickly... The first half of the shrine, which is set up as a labyrinth, has plenty of passageways leading to the outside of the shrine!

Tourists who go the wrong way, when they see the exit, they think they have cleared customs, but they end up outside the shrine...

"Follow me!" Holding one in one hand, Lie quickly moved along the right path.

This section of the road is tortuous, and there are many tourists inside, and it has been seven or eight minutes since I walked from the entrance to the exit.

"Whew, it's finally coming out..."Lieyi didn't walk fast, so even though it was the right path, he wasn't the first to come out.

"That's..."The moment he came out, Lie just saw a familiar figure disappear into the room in front of him, was it- Archer?

"Congratulations on passing the first hurdle!" It didn't take long for Lie, Zero, and Reina to react before the congratulatory voices were remembered, as well as another reporter and camera.

"The three are the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, and twenty-seventh tourists who have passed the first level, congratulations!" The reporter explained to Lie and his entourage: "Being able to pass through the maze so quickly, the three beautiful girls who are really favored by the goddess of luck..."

Favored by Lady Luck? Lie smiled bitterly in his heart, even if it was so...

"Yay!" Hearing that she was at the top of the ranking, Rena looked very happy.

"The next level is to answer the question, please pass it quickly." The reporter did not delay Lie and his entourage for too long, and after a few simple words, he instructed and urged Lie and his entourage to go to the next pass.

When Lie and his entourage walked into the next room, they vaguely heard congratulations coming from behind them again.

“… Congratulations, it's the twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, thirty... The interlocutor who cleared the first level..."

"It seems that many girls have passed the test first this year..."

“…”

When I walked into the room, it was brightly lit, and I saw that Archer was indeed here... And the one who was the lord of the house.

In fact, there are several identical rooms in the second level, and Lie deliberately walked into this one.

"Lord Lie!" When the housemaid was with a sad face, she heard a movement at the door, and when she looked over, she actually saw Lord Lie, so she shouted in surprise.

Speaking of which, Lie doesn't know her name yet.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

“…”

In addition to the otaku and Archer, there are several tourists with sad faces, TV station staff, and a beautiful girl in a shrine maiden costume guarding the only exit.

In front of the shrine maiden there is a table with a large box on it, like a lottery box.

The sign next to it reads: "Pass the second level by answering three questions correctly in a row (no more than 20 seconds to think about each question.) ）”

“…”

It turns out that the second level is a answering game, no wonder everyone is sad, it seems that the question is not simple.

Lie glanced at the rules again, and the writing on them was very simple, such as: "Line up to answer the question, the winner moves on to the next level, and the loser returns to the end of the line..."

The shrine maiden randomly took out three table tennis balls with numbers written on them from the box, and the challenger would look for them from a list of questions hanging on the wall and answer them.

“… You can team up to three people (for each additional person, reduce it by 5 seconds, and three people need to answer correctly within 10 seconds) and so on. ”

Isn't this a bit of a king-jagged feeling (—_—!)

The few tourists in front of me seem to have tried several times, and all seem to have failed.

What kind of questions will they be, Lie looked at the list of questions hanging on the wall next to him with curiosity...

"One: Which character is Liuli in the drama of the fifth watch?"

“….”

"Why is this the question!" Lie complained inwardly, and then continued to look down.

"Two: The name of the hero of "Love, Election, Chocolate".

“…”

Hey, it's a dimension lover who has the problem!

"Three: The next sentence of the ancient poem 'Leaving the Grass on the Plain'."

Poof~, Lie was stunned there, it seems that the scope of this topic is very wide, and the difficulty varies greatly...

There are a total of 100 questions, which does not seem to be very difficult, but the time given to answer them is too short... If you are in a group of three, you must complete the whole process of finding and solving each question within 10 seconds.

Thinking about it this way, the second level is still very difficult, and it may be easier to break through it alone.

The otaku and Archer began to line up again, and Lie and his party followed her... What problems do you encounter?

Under the gaze of the otaku and Archer, the beautiful girl in the shrine maiden costume took out a ping-pong ball from the box and held it for the time being.

"Are you ready?" The beautiful girl dressed in the shrine maiden costume held a timer in her hand, looked at the otaku and Archer, and said, "The time to read the number each time is three seconds. ”

"First question, Number One!"

"My sister can't be so cute!" Archer's master said the answer the moment he heard the question number, and he seemed to be familiar with it.

The shrine maiden resets the timer and repeats the previous action again, taking out a small ball with a number written on it from the box.

"Eighteen."

The otaku immediately looked at the list of problems on the wall... The list of questions is written sequentially, so the questions are asked quickly.

Moreover, Lie has the ability to remember, so... After reading the number, Lie didn't need to look for it anymore to know what the problem was.

"Eighteen: The name of the hero of 'Charlotte's Troubles.'"

“…”

"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it, it should be Charlotte, right?" The otaku whispered hesitantly... Well, that's a normal reaction.

"Charlotte!" Archer gives the right answer... Huh? Isn't it called Charlotte (covering her face.)

“…”

The next question is..."Seventy-three!" ”

"Seventy-three: Among the three sisters of the Nan family, Nan. What is Chanai? (Order of Sisters)"

"Two stupid... No, second sister! The otaku shouted in surprise, this time the luck is great!

"Congratulations, please come in." The girl in the shrine maiden costume got out of the way, and the otaku took Archer Chaolie and his party to greet her, and walked in happily.

The maiden, dressed in a shrine maiden costume, put the ping-pong ball back into the box and shook it slightly.

"Master..."Zero and Reina nervously followed Ryu to the girl in the witch costume, anxiously waiting for the question.

What kind of problems will Lie and his entourage encounter? Although the order of the 100 questions is memorized, some of the questions are really unclear...

"Are you ready?" The beautiful girl in the shrine maiden costume held a timer in her hand, looked at the otaku and Archer, and repeated what she said to the previous group: "The time to read a number each time is three seconds. ”

"First question, number one?" When the shrine maiden read out the number, she was also surprised... It seems like a coincidence.

"My sister can't be so cute!"

"Good luck!" Both Zero and Rena had a happy expression, and it was great to be able to draw a question with a clear answer!

“…”

"Second question, number seventy-five."

"Seventy-five: "The Secret of Haruka Nogizaka", what is the secret of Haruka Nogizaka?"

"This..."Zero and Reina both showed confused expressions, obviously not knowing the answer.

"Ahem, I like anime-related things." Lie gave the answer... Actually, this is a very good drama.

"The third question, number eighty-eight."

"Eighty-eight: Who was the winning college of the city's last college joint festival?"

“…”

"Fangwen Women's College!"

Answer the second level and succeed!

…

Walking into the place where the ancient clock is located, there are very few tourists here, plus there are only eight Archer and the otaku... It seems that Lie and his entourage came in early.

Unsurprisingly, after coming out of the second level of the house, there were already TV station staff waiting... Moreover, it was the reporter who had interviewed Lie and his entourage before.

She still had an impression of Lie and his party, and shouted out in surprise... At her invitation, Lie and his entourage once again said some words of blessing to the camera.

After these were over, Lie and his party walked to the place where the ancient bell was.

"Isn't the difficulty too high..."After walking a little farther, the soul network released by Lie heard the whispers of the staff.

"Twenty minutes to go... Follow the plan and close the maze on the wrong course. ”

“…”

Hawkers, these have nothing to do with Lie, the important thing now is to ring the bell!

Looking ahead, Lie's mouth opened wide... That's too much, isn't it?

"Lord Lie?" A young girl standing in front of the ancient bell noticed Lie, waved her hand, and ran over happily.

In addition to Archer and Archer's master, the other eight maiden martyrs actually knew all of them... Standing at the front was Aina, then the vice president of the student council, Jimi. Haruno.

The girl with them is Su Qi, as well as Shu Qi, a member of the Discipline Commission, and Kasuga... Ryol even saw Gujin and Haijin!

Hey, how did the two of them get in so quickly? It must be cheating...

Lie smiled bitterly in his heart, including himself, gathered in front of the ancient bell at this time, and accurately rang the New Year's bell... Basically, they are all students of Fang Wen College.

"Happy New Year." With a smile full of fate, Lie walked towards them... Actually, it's pretty good.

…

"Knock, knock..."

The New Year's bell rings at midnight, and one hundred and eight tourists ring the ancient bell in turn, and the bell symbolizing auspiciousness and happiness will be transmitted to many places through live television.

A new year has begun, a new semester has begun, and the same group of friends remains the same.

After ringing the bell, Lie and his entourage were pulled by Aina to sing, and met some partners in the middle, and the team kept growing.

When I finally returned to the house with Zero, it was already early in the morning.

"I'm back."

Lie and Zero said listlessly, this night was very fun and tired.

"You're back."

"Hmm... Well? ”

The lights in the room were on, and a figure stood in front of her, she was...

"Welcome back, Ernie Chan (brother)."

"You, you are..."

"Breakfast has been prepared, but it looks like my brother and sister Zero want to go to rest first, and the hot water has been prepared... Something, of course not! ”
