Chapter 3 Pandora's Box 10

Belvoir Inn, 3rd floor corridor

"Boom—" The thunder outside the window did not abate in the slightest, but got closer and closer, as if it were a thunderbolt hanging above the castle.

Arthur walked on the straight corridor, his black shoes stepping on the plush carpet, the walls on both sides were stained with blood that had not yet dried, as if talking about the tragedy that had happened here a few minutes ago, Arthur frowned, and raised his feet to step over a corpse, it was a gorgeously dressed woman, lying on the ground with her face to the ground, her clothes were torn by sharp blades, and the blood flowed down the ground, and you could feel a little slippery when you stepped on it.

The second siren has sounded.

Meaning that players can slaughter each other.

Although the end of this game is not all players die.

But that doesn't mean other players won't go after him.

After all, slaughtering players is also able to earn points on the blood list......

Arthur thought so that he couldn't help but clench the gun in his hand.

Just as he was walking around a corner, he was suddenly strangled from behind. Arthur was startled and subconsciously let go of the gun in his hand, and the black pistol fell at his feet, which meant that he had lost the weapon that best protected him. The other party was hooking his throat with his right elbow, and the other hand was stuck in a "cross-shaped", tightening the arc of his elbow a little, and a strong sense of suffocation and a sense of impending death came to his heart, and Arthur instinctively began to struggle.

Who would have thought that he strangled a man just a few minutes ago, and now, he was about to be strangled?

"Shh......h It's gone by quickly, stop struggling. ”

In my ears, a man's deep voice sounded.

He recognized the voice, and Arthur bent his left elbow and pushed his elbow against the man's abdomen, but the other party seemed to have already seen through his trick and dodged before him, and his strength was lost.

"It seems that you are also a person who has studied martial arts......" Icarus tightened his elbows, and the smile on his lips deepened a little, "Unfortunately, the kung fu is not at home." ”

"You ......" Arthur struggled, biting his lower lip, and suddenly, a smell of blood filled his mouth.

The air in his body was depleted little by little, and Arthur only felt dizzy and his vision began to become a little blurry.

He secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but he was powerless to resist. Icarus is clearly highly skilled in martial arts, and his strength is strong enough to hold a man of his size in check, and even the strength of his elbows alone is enough to suffocate him.

That's why he's in the top three on the blood list.

They're all monsters.

Arthur's legs softened involuntarily due to the lack of oxygen, and Icarus crouched down, watching his prey struggle and become smaller and smaller, enjoying the pleasure of being a predator.

"Arthur, I'll teach you a lesson today." Icarus whispered in Arthur's ear in a low voice, "Low-level players only hunt NPCs, and high-level players rely on hunting other players to score points." ”

"You ......"

Arthur struggled, only to see a figure appear on the other side of the hallway.

Before he could see who the other party was, the next moment, a gunshot rang out, and his chest suddenly exploded with blood.

He was shot.

Icarus looked at the gradually cold corpse in his hand with a little surprise, put down his choking hand, and looked at the person with dissatisfaction: "There is no such reason, I am about to get points." ”

The other man smiled faintly and pointed his pistol at Icarus.

"Icarus, I'll also teach you a truth, advanced players don't have to hunt other players, poaching, and sometimes it's also a skill to score quickly."

"Canary, are you taking revenge on me for killing you last time?" Icarus stood up, his hands in his pockets, and looked at the woman a few meters away.

"yes. Scared? The Duke raised an eyebrow and took a step forward.

"Scared? These two words never appear in my dictionary......"

Icarus muttered, sensing the duke's gunfire and slamming open the door next to him, the duke's gun struck the wooden door, failing to kill Icarus.

In a fit of rage, she fired two shots and chased after her, but when she pushed open the door, Icarus was no longer there.

"Let him escape." The Duke muttered, looking at Arthur's body at his feet, "He also took the gun?" It's a bit tricky now......"

She said, raising her leg and heading deeper into the hallway.

Behind her, Arthur's body gradually became transparent, and some tiny dust-like light lingered around him, and in the next second, his body became transparent and disappeared.

Remember?

In the game of reincarnation, players can reincarnate indefinitely.

Belvoir Inn, Room 6212

"Boom—" A thunderclap exploded through the clouds, and the white light of lightning instantly illuminated the entire room.

Arthur snapped his eyes open, his chest heaving uneasily, his rapid heartbeat as if it was about to burst out of his chest, and he was still in his mind the last scene he had seen before he was shot. There was a pain in his left chest, he stood up slightly, and subconsciously looked at the painful place, only to see that there was a bullet hole in the clothes on his left chest, but the skin under the bullet hole was intact, leaving only a scorch mark.

It seems that he was shot in the heart and died instantly.

(I see, is this the [reincarnation system]...... )

Arthur shook his head and looked around, only to find himself in a slightly larger room. This room is a double room, the double bed is facing a desk, the room is very dim, the room without lights makes it difficult for him to see the furnishings in the room.

(Now is not the time to stay...... )

Arthur stood up, opened the door and was about to leave.

"Click." He opened the door, and the dim light of the hallway brushed his shoulders, casting a shadow on the dark carpet behind him, slightly illuminating the dark room behind him.

At this moment, the public announcement system of the Belvoir Hotel suddenly sounded, and then the familiar voice of the judge was heard on the radio.

"Players, please note that Pandora's Box appears in room 6212, and the box exists for three minutes."

Then the broadcast came to an abrupt end.

Hearing the broadcast, Arthur subconsciously looked at the door that was opened by himself, and saw that the door number was 6212!

“?!”

Shit luck??

There are more than 1,000 rooms in the entire hotel, and they were actually bumped into by themselves?!

He was stunned for a moment, and recalled the content of the broadcast just now, and in the prompt read by the judge, it was indeed room 6212.

(To put it this way...... )

Arthur turned to look into the room, followed the hallway light, and saw what seemed to be a boxy box on the rosewood desk in the room. The box is about 15 centimeters high, 15 centimeters wide and 15 centimeters long, and it looks like a delicate little gift box on the desk, and you can faintly see some white lines engraved on the box.

The timing was urgent, the box would only last for three minutes, and the other 11 players would arrive immediately, so he didn't have time to hesitate.

Arthur hurried to the table, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a wooden box, painted with dark blue lacquer, and some floral totems were depicted on it with a white brush. And directly above the box, there is a [Ouroboros] drawn, connected end to end, and in the oval area formed by the snake's body, an eye is drawn, looking at him coldly.

Arthur, who was focusing on the box, didn't see anyone behind him enter the room with bated breath. The deliberately lowered footsteps landed on the plush carpet, and no sound could be heard.

……

[The person who opens the magic box will have the opportunity to open the "gambling game". 】

……

The judge's words rang in his ears.

Arthur suddenly hesitated.

(What is a gambling game?) )

(It's easy to open the box, but is gambling really a good thing for him?) )

The world is so weird, he doesn't know much about the system, and the asymmetry of information puts him in a passive position.

Just as Arthur was hesitating to open the box, he was suddenly struck from behind, and the steel pipe hit his head hard, and he felt a dull pain, Arthur fell to the ground sideways, and the box fell beside him.

Blood was left in his hairline, he felt a dizziness, and his vision blurred for a few seconds, Arthur squinted his eyes, covered his head, and saw a figure bypassing him, bending down, and picking up the box on the ground.

"Oh? I see, is this Pandora's box? The workmanship is really beautiful. The beauty smiled faintly, the light of the corridor illuminated her side face, and also illuminated the greed in the depths of her pupils, "The last round of the game was robbed of the magic box by Icarus, but I didn't expect that this round would also give me a chance to open the game." ”

Arthur took advantage of his unpreparedness and got up and pounced on the beauty.

The beauty was caught off guard, and was counterattacked by him, and the two scuffled together, and the magic box rolled to the side.

Arthur sat on the waist of the beauty, raised his hand and punched her in the cheek with his left fist, which was blocked by her raised hand, but then he swung his right fist, which swollen the left side of the beauty's face, and when he punched, the beauty clamped his arm, twisted his arm back, turned over, instantly changed the attack and defense, smashed his head to the floor, pressed his knee against his back, and pressed him to the floor. Arthur's jaw slammed to the ground, breaking two or three teeth and bleeding all over his mouth.

"Bang-"

The conflict between the two was broken by the sound of a gunshot, and Arthur only felt the weight on his body light, and when he turned around, he saw the beauty falling backwards, she was hit in the left shoulder, and fell to the ground due to the impact of inertia.

“Surprise! Hahahahaha! At the door, there was a one-eyed laugh.

Arthur stood up slightly and spit out the broken teeth in his mouth.

"No, no, no, don't move, Mr. Mummy." The barrel of the gun in One-Eye's hand was aimed at Beauty and Arthur, "Tut-tut, look at how swollen your face is that you have ...... our beauty."

"Hmph." The beauty snorted coldly, "You men are like this, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all." ”

"I want to say - what a job done, Mr. Mummy! Hahahahaha, I like to watch people fight and end up with a bloody fight, it's really a wonderful show. One-eyed black shoes stepped over the carpet of the room, and he walked towards Pandora's box.

Arthur glanced sideways at the unwilling beauty beside her, she clutched her left shoulder, blood dripping down her fingers. The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, although neither of them wants to see such a situation, but now they are forced by the gun in one-eyed's hand, and they don't dare to act rashly.

"Pandora's Box, meet again." One-Eye muttered, stepped on the box, and straightened the box, "Hmph, the magic box from the last round of the game should have been mine, but it was the despicable villain of Icarus, who ambushed me and snatched the box." ”

"One-eyed, you sneak thief, you're not qualified to say that." The beauty tugged at the corners of her mouth and looked at him contemptuously.

"Ma'am, you too." Arthur glanced at the beauty.

“……”

The beauty gave him a slap in the eye and told him to shut up.

The clock is ticking.

The box will only exist for three minutes, after which it will change location.

Time is running out.

One-eyed looked at the magic box, and then at the two people who were staring at him a few steps away, and his eyes moved.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." One-Eye chuckled softly as if he didn't care, "You must be planning to kill me while I'm distracted, right?" Beauty, you stinky bitch, your poised posture betrays your purpose, and you, Mr. Mummy, although I can't see your expression, your eyes betray you. ”

The only eye he had was a little cunning.

The three of them confronted each other, and the tense atmosphere in the air was a little anxious.

"Knock knock."

At this moment, a visitor arrived at room 6212, and she politely knocked on the open door, as if she was afraid of disturbing the people in the room, but she was in a difficult position to disturb her.

All three of them looked out the door at the same time.

I only saw a shadow standing in front of the door - a woman with curly blond hair, wearing a blue dress, her light eyes were looking at the three people in the room uneasily, her right hand was gently placed on her chest, she seemed to be looking for a suitable opportunity to speak, and lowered her head slightly, revealing her inner hesitation at the moment.

"Well, that ......," the curly-haired blond woman asked timidly, "I—I'm looking for my husband, have you seen him?" ”
