Chapter 10: The Game of Killing
Lei Yang's arm was shaking violently at the same frequency as the metal hum. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that the humming sound echoed through the passage for a while and then gradually became low, but Lei Yang's hand holding the knife was still trembling, and the trembling amplitude was so great that it almost shook off the long knife in his hand.
Seeing this, Lei Ruoya's face changed, and she wiped the space ring on her finger with her left hand, and took out an ordinary stone from it.
Then she took a few steps back, her delicate body leaned back slightly, and with all her strength, she threw the stone towards the space in front of her!
The stone came out of its hand and smashed into the empty space, and then ......
In the space five meters away from the wooden door at the exit, the stone seemed to hit an invisible barrier, and the momentum of the entire stone rushing forward came to an abrupt halt in an instant!
And the stone was not only stopped by the barrier, but also at the moment when it hit the invisible barrier......
There was a loud "clucking" sound, and countless straight cracks began to spread densely on the stones!
The stone then turned into countless gray shards!
And the fragments of the stone did not seem to have been caused by the crushing of the stonesβthe cracks in the fragments were smooth and smooth, without the slightest sign of unevenness, as if they had been cut by some extremely sharp object!
As early as when Lei Yang's swing was blocked before, the people in the audience were already silent, and when the sound of metal humming dissipated, the stones thrown by Lei Ruoya were completely divided into several pieces, and the audience was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.
ββ¦β¦ I think I have bad news to tell you," Lei Ruoya couldn't help but smile bitterly as she watched this scene, and opened her mouth with a little difficulty, her crisp voice was a little inexplicably loud in the quiet environment, "At least for a short time, I don't think we should want to leave this hellish place." β
Everyone's faces were confused as they stared at the exit ahead, wondering what was going on.
The wooden door at the exit was not even ten meters away from them, and Lei Ruoya, who was closest to it, could even see the appearance of the wooden door in such a dim environment.
There was only less than ten meters between the wooden door and them, and it seemed that there was nothing else within that ten meters of distance.
But this short distance of less than ten meters is like a moat in front of everyone.
The soldiers felt that they were about to escape from the cell, but they were suddenly told that there was an extra moat at the exit at this moment, and they could not think of a way to pass through it for the time being.
Before the adventurers even knew what was going on, they learned that they and the others were trapped in this cell - they had a vague premonition in their minds.
Everyone was speechless, and the whole scene was a little frighteningly quiet.
But at this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came out of the darkness behind her, breaking the silence at the moment.
Accompanied by screams, there was a clear sound of blood splattering on the ground!
"Ah!!!!h
The woman's voice was unusually terrible, as if she had encountered something extremely terrible.
Lei Yang and Lei Ruoya were at the front of the queue, but they reacted the fastest, and after hearing this scream, they subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and almost instantly turned around and rushed towards the back of the line.
Although the team of more than two dozen people walked scattered, it was not very long after all, but the position of the team was already around the corner, so the last few people were inevitably left on the other side of the corner, out of the sight of the vast majority of people.
Lei Yang didn't care about the unresponsive adventurers, pushed away the people in front of him, and walked to the other side of the corner in a few steps.
On the other side of the corner were a pair of female adventurers, both of whom looked extremely young.
At this moment, the two young women were snuggling up to each other, trembling against the wall.
The two female adventurers were both frightened, staring blankly at the ground beside them, not knowing which female adventurer's voice was made, or if the sound of both.
Lei Yang followed their gaze and looked at the ground on the side......
only to find that the body of a man who had been split in two was lying on the ground!
This corpse was more terrifying than any corpse before...... Because this man's body was split open from the door of his head, and his whole body was split into left and right parts!
The internal organs of the man's body were all exposed to the air without concealment, and he could even clearly see some of the split brains in the center of his head!
And it's this corpse that has been split in two...... The corpse's eyes were still wide open!
The two eyes, which had been separated from the two halves of the body, were clearly open, and the eyeballs were almost out of their sockets!
The strength of the killer is obviously extremely strong...... The deceased was a tall man, but the murderer's blow slashed down from the man's head, splitting a living person in half, but the incision on the corpse was extremely smooth, as if it had not been hindered in any way from the beginning to the end of the attack!
Lei Ruoya also arrived at this moment, she saw the bloody ground, saw the tragic condition of the corpse, and immediately frowned and asked the two women on the side, "What's the situation?" β
"Lei, Miss Lei Ruoya......" One of the women should have recognized this well-known high-end player, and said tremblingly: "Just now, just now...... A black figure suddenly came out of the passage behind it, and then ...... And then...... All I could see was a cold light coming out of the shadows......"
"And then?"
The female adventurer's eyes were filled with fear, and she shook her head and said to Lei Ruoya in disbelief, "Then ...... And then the man next to us died! The cold light slashed at his head, and he was split in half in an instant! β
"The shadow is after killing this man next to us...... It's gone, I don't know how he disappeared! When I saw the reaction, the black shadow was gone! I don't know what's going on! I don't know why a dark shadow suddenly appeared and killed the person next to us! I do not know...... I don't know anything......" The female adventurer was obviously greatly frightened, and even the words she answered were a little incoherent, and after answering these words, she looked at Lei Ruoya with a blank eye, as if she had seen a savior, "I'm so scared, I'm really scared...... I'm so scared that guy is back! Miss Lei Ruoya...... You're a high-end player, you're a recognized high-end player among our adventurers, you must have a way, right!? β
The rest of the adventurers also gathered around, and they were all taken aback when they saw the terrible situation on the ground. Some of the adventurers who were a little less tolerant began to turn extremely pale.
In order to avoid causing panic in the cell, Reroya did not intend to tell the adventurers about the killer in the cell.
But at this moment, everyone had already gathered around, and Lei Ruoya knew that this matter should not be hidden from those adventurers, so she sighed, turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, in fact...... A killer appeared in the cell, killing several adventurers and soldiers in the cell. In the previous period, a total of six people had been killed, including the adventurer. β
When the adventurers present heard this, they were in an uproar:
"What!? Killer!? β
"There's a killer in the cell!? Why did the killer come to the cell to kill us adventurers!? β
"A killer who kills people in a prison cell!? Six people have already been killed!? Miss Leroya, can you keep us safe!? β
ββ¦β¦β
Lei Ruoya stroked her forehead, a slight headache.
She knew that if she made the matter public in such a situation, it would definitely be the consequence, but in the current situation, it was also a last resort strategy.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Lei Ruoya waved her small hand vigorously, "I wanted to take you out of the cell because I wanted to ensure your safety, although I don't know the purpose of the killer, but since the killer wants to kill you, then we must do our best to ensure the safety of your lives!" So don't worry! β
"In addition, the identity of the killer has basically been locked by us! It's Galen, the adventurer to whom your Dragon Slayer Society belongs! Galen's strength, as his colleagues, must be clear, have you seen this somewhat cute man next to me! This is Mr. Lei Yang, the famous opener among adventurers! His level of strength is better than Galen's...... So please gather first, as long as you don't leave alone, that Mr. Galen will not have a chance, we just need to wait for the rabbit...... I'm sure I'll be able to catch him! β
β¦β¦
After briefly clearing the corpse on the ground, the two dozen or so sat down on the floor, and in order to prevent a single attack by the killers because they were too far from the front line, as they had done before, the two dozen or so sat close together and sat on the floor of the passageβthe lights on both sides of the passageway, though dim, still provided some light, and it was better than sitting in a room in complete darkness.
After settling down the adventurers who had some big mood swings, Lei Ruoya glanced at the more than twenty people gathered around, thought for a while, and whispered to the brother beside him: "I'll go to the room over there to see if there are any missing clues." β
"I'll go with you." Lei Yang replied almost subconsciously.
But my sister waved her hand: "No, no...... Brother, you stay here and take care of them, I have the Holy Light Shield, so it's not so easy for things to happen. β
Lei Yang frowned: "But ......"
"Brother, you don't have to worry about me," Lei Ruoya shook her head and said, "The target of the killer should be these adventurers, and the soldiers should just be killed by bumping into them, so naturally I will not be his target...... Now all the adventurers are here, brother, you protect them. β
Lei Yang scratched his head when he heard this, and he didn't understand Lei Ruoya's explanation when he looked at his expression, so he had to nod honestly and agree.
Lei Ruoya made a gesture to her brother not to worry, and turned to walk towards the interior of the passage.
The younger sister's back gradually became blurred, and the footsteps on the wooden board became farther and farther away, Lei Yang glanced back at the more than twenty people sitting on the ground, and also sat down cross-legged.
The dim light seemed to divide his entire body into two sides.
β¦β¦
There was always a doubt in Lei Ruoya's mind - it was the so-called last adventurer......
Who the hell is it?
Even when a headless corpse was found in room twenty-seven, which was supposed to be empty, and it was clear that the corpse could only belong to the adventurer, Lei Ruoya still didn't stop thinking about it.
Because it seemed to her that it was really strange.
I don't remember everything about this adventurer, but I do remember the existence of this person, and I remember that this person called him to the cell.
And not only himself, but also others, including his brother, including the two soldiers, felt the same way.
Why...... Could such a person exist?
It's just me and my brother, why don't even the two soldiers in charge of guarding these adventurers know the identity of the adventurer?
Even...... Don't even know which room he should be held in?
And why...... In that empty room that the two of them bite into, a headless corpse appeared!?
Lei Ruoya felt that there were too many unreasonable things in it, so she turned back and came to the twenty-seventh room, which was supposed to be empty.
The wooden door was wide open, and the darkness inside the door still seemed to be about to burst out.
This darkness was like some kind of beast waiting for an opportunity, and it made Dereroya's heart subconsciously fearful.
But she stepped in anyway, stepping on the ground with blood and scraps of flesh.
The headless corpse still lay in the room.
Lei Ruoya was alone in the dark, and she felt a little frightened that this corpse seemed to come back to life at any moment.
She frowned at the corpse, silently sorting out the thoughts in her mind.
Now the total number of surviving soldiers and adventurers is twenty-eight, and the total number of soldiers and adventurers is thirty-one, a total of six corpses.
The identities of the two soldiers can be confirmed, the identities of the surviving adventurers can be confirmed, and the identities of the remaining five corpses can be confirmed. So this extra corpse...... Although the skull was shattered and the body could not be identified, it was indeed the only possibility of the unknown adventurer......
Thinking of this, Lei Ruoya was suddenly stunned.
Indeed, it could only be the unknown adventurer......
Only the unknown adventurer could have been......
It is only possible ......
Only possible......
Lei Ruoya suddenly thought of something, but she felt that something more crucial seemed to be missing, so she was not sure of her guess.
She shook her head vigorously and began to walk up and down the room with some agitation.
After walking several laps, Lei Ruoya felt that she was about to go crazy, but she still couldn't think of a reason, so she yelled a little anxiously: "So who is that adventurer!?" β
The roar fell into the darkness, forming a slight echo that reverberated through the room:
"Adventurer...... Who ......"
The reverberating sound was not loud, and the sound wave gently returned to Lei Ruoya's ears.
But the whispered echo lasted only for a moment......
The staccato words began to echo in Lei Ruoya's mind like thunder!
I heard a loud buzz!
A thunderbolt seemed to explode in Lei Ruoya's head, shaking her eyes full of Venus, shaking her mind full of buzzing noises, and shocking her skull felt like her heart was hurting at the moment!
The sound was stirring and tumbling in her head, repeating itself in her head constantly!
- "Adventurer...... Who ......"
- "Adventurer...... Who ......"
- "Adventurer...... Who ......"
Lei Ruoya only felt as if her head was about to explode, and she could only hear this sentence echoing in her ears, only to see that the headless corpse in front of her seemed to really sit up!
The corpse struggled to its feet, and then seemed to want to open its mouth to Lei Ruoya. But it doesn't have a bloody mouth, let alone a bloody mouth, it doesn't even have a head.
So the corpse spread its broken neck!
The neck is spread into four petals like blooming petals, and rotting flesh can be seen on each petal!
The minced meat had sharp teeth, and the corpse was trying to swallow Lei Ruoya with its teeth and claws!
But Lei Ruoya held her head tightly, obviously seeing this scene, but she didn't have the strength to dodge at all.
The same words were still echoing in her ears, and the emotionless words pierced her brain like needles!
- "Adventurer...... Who ......"
The blooming petals stretched out over Lei Ruoya's head, and then gently closed.
However, the strength of the petals was not soft, and the petals contained the moment Lei Ruoya's head closed, as if there was a heavy hammer, and it hit Lei Ruoya's skull hard!
β¦β¦
- "Let's ...... Reroya, Let's play a game. β
β¦β¦
After a long time, Lei Ruoya stood up with a pale face.
There was still a voice rolling in her head, but there was no corpse in the room that had not sat up, let alone the four horrible petals.
Only the headless corpse, and the darkness that would never be permeated by the light.
Hurried footsteps rang out outside the room.
- "Let's ...... Reroya, Let's play a game. β
The words in his mind suddenly seemed to ring in Lei Ruoya's ears at this moment!
Lei Ruoya, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly felt a heartbeat, and then a white light suddenly appeared around her delicate body!
This white light was so bright that it instantly illuminated the room as if it were day, and even the darkness that almost extinguished the light was dispelled by her in an instant!
The footsteps were getting louder and closer, and every footstep seemed to knock on Lei Ruoya's heart!
By the time the footsteps seemed to have reached the outside of the room, Lei Ruoya only felt that her heart had jumped to her throat!
The shield of holy light condensed in front of her, and she was ready to strike at any moment.
At the moment when the footsteps were loudest and the front of the owner of the footsteps appeared in front of the door......
The whole room is blazing!
The visitor had obviously adapted to the dim environment, and consciously covered his eyes under the bright white light!
A shield of holy light was about to fall directly at him!
But at the moment when the Holy Light Shield was about to fall, Lei Ruoya herself was suddenly stunned, and the Holy Light Shield stopped flying.
Because she saw the appearance of the person who came:
"Sa...... THAAD? β
After adjusting to the white light, the soldier opened his eyes slightly, and found that a white holy light shield was on top of his head, and he was immediately frightened by the opponent's formation: "Big ...... My lord? What are you doing here!? β
Seeing that the person who came was a soldier she knew, Lei Ruoya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and waved her hand to disperse the white light around her body.
The room was plunged into darkness again.
"I thought it was an enemy." Lei Ruoya patted her flat chest and explained, "What are you doing here?" β
"Me?" Sade was stunned by Lei Ruoya's question, and it took a few seconds to realize the purpose of his coming, and his face suddenly changed greatly, "My lord...... Something happened over there again! β
"Dead again!?" Lei Ruoya was taken aback.
"Yes, just now, another adventurer was killed! That's why I'm here to inform you! β
"Got it, let's go back." Lei Ruoya knew that the situation of the adventurers over there was the most important thing, so she made a decision at the first time.
Sade and Lei Ruoya hurried out of room twenty-seven.
But when she went out, Lei Ruoya was suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong with you, sir?"
ββ¦β¦ Nothing, let's go. β
Lei Ruoya shook her head, and then took a step.
Before leaving, Lei Ruoya glanced back at the dark room twenty-seven, and made sure that there was indeed nothing in it except the corpse.
But she didn't know if it was an illusion or something, just now, she felt that she heard a shrill voice coming from the room.
The shrill voice said to itself in an unusually strange tone:
"Let's play a game, a killing game." (To be continued.) )
