Chapter 298: The Machine Runs Again
The other two groups of people also knew that they were going to choose the rope, but they didn't have a clue how to choose them, so they just discussed with each other, and didn't notice that Mo Xiaoyao's side had finished choosing.
Mo Xiaoyao was selected based on the tarot cards drawn in the divination hut before, she thought about it for a long time, and the difference between her and Jiang Yan was not this, but the only thing left was the whack-a-mole project that he cleared over there.
She also asked about that, and Jiang Yan told her that there was nothing in it that had anything to do with tarot cards. And the person marked with one star on the ticket is herself, not Jiang Yan, which is enough to explain the problem.
The other projects are unknown, but this one still has a bit of ideas, which is why Mo Xiaoyao chose the seemingly high-risk "leap of faith".
And Jiang Yan's whack-a-mole is a solo project, and the specific situation of the project has been described in detail with her, and she will go by herself in a while.
Only this still needs to be cooperated, she needs a reliable partner, not someone who will stab her in the back. In fact, Mo Xiaoyao considered copying Zhou Jun's contract skills before, but unfortunately her crystal used one when copying tarot cards, and the system prompted her that the crystal was insufficient, and she didn't know if it was one or n, in short, it wouldn't work.
At the urging of Mr. Hat, the two groups quickly chose their ropes, and after the three of them were confirmed, the remaining two ropes slowly rose into the air, leaving only the selected one, like a spirit snake, which suddenly descended and wrapped around the feet of the three players who were about to jump.
Mo Xiaoyao was startled at first, and then found that his legs were tightly combined, his toes could barely be separated, but his ankles touched his ankles, and he couldn't move at all. Not to mention walking, even if you think of the edge of the springboard, you have to jump over it yourself without the help of your companions.
Jiang Yan walked behind Mo Xiaoyao and asked very gentlemanly, "Do you need my help?" β
Mo Xiaoyao herself was very worried, she didn't know if her speculation was right or not, no matter how sure she was, she couldn't really relax before the answer came out.
was already nervous, and was tied up by Mr. Gao Hao's rope strongly, and then listened to Jiang Yan's question like no one else, Mo Xiaoyao replied angrily: "What do you help?" Push me down? β
Jiang Yan was expressionless: "Yes." It's up to you to slow down or to go fast. β
Mo Xiaoyao laughed angrily, and just wanted to ridicule Jiang Yan for two sentences, but he heard a piercing whistle, and then his feet suddenly emptied, his body sank suddenly, and he swung out with inertia.
It wasn't until he changed from standing upright to rushing down with a big head that Mo Xiaoyao realized that the ground he was originally stepping on violated the laws of physics and disappeared out of thin air.
At this moment, Mo Xiaoyao suddenly had a realization in his heart, no wonder he tied her so tightly, it turned out that she didn't have to walk at all, the springboard or something, it was all decorations, and it was this kind of surprise to play...... Heartbeat?
it!
Her heart was almost out of a beat.
The wind was whistling in his ears, and it was only 1 second, but Mo Xiaoyao felt as if a century had passed.
With a crisp "click" sound and a scream, Mo Xiaoyao felt that her feet were tight, and the rope seemed to have reached the end, and it was completely straightened with a swish, hanging her upside down in the air.
There was no expected rebound, Mo Xiaoyao seemed to be fixed by something that he couldn't see, and he didn't even shake slightly, just hung there straight. If it weren't for his heartbeat and breathing, Mo Xiaoyao would have almost suspected that he was actually a corpse.
After silently counting in his heart for 3 seconds, Mo Xiaoyao faintly heard the crying sound from the top of the platform, and estimated that there might be something wrong with the other two groups of people. She tried to twist her neck to take a look, but found that there was a high platform in the way, and she could only see the shadowy rope and feet, and the rest could not be seen clearly.
The system is still very humane, just when Mo Xiaoyao was thinking about how long he would have to hang here again, he heard a "squeak" sound of the machine turning, which was a little uncomfortable in his ears, especially when he couldn't see what was happening, he was particularly scratching his heart and lungs.
But soon, Mo Xiaoyao regretted her curiosity, she found herself moving slowly, first panning, then turning a corner when she reached the corner of the high platform, and then approached the fellow refugees who were originally on the other side of the platform, also hanging upside down.
Well, this brother is miserable, and he is out of breath.
Mo Xiaoyao raised her neck vigorously to look at the ground, and a pool of dazzling blood was diagonally below her current position. Turning his neck back, Mo Xiaoyao looked at the corpse around him that he could touch with his hand, and saw that the blood that had not yet dried up continued to drip down his neck, and he knew that it was indeed the right thing he had just made.
This is the male in the student couple, who chose the south platform, but I don't know why he suddenly had an accident.
On the other side of this unlucky ghost, the middle-aged man was also turned around by the system, just like Mo Xiaoyao. Compared to Mo Xiaoyao's calmness, he was already so frightened that his face was pale, and he muttered something in his heart, because his voice was too small and others couldn't hear anything.
After another 5 seconds or so, the machine was running again, as if a winch had appeared on it, and the ropes that bound the three men in a circle were tightened, pulling them up inch by inch.
Mo Xiaoyao didn't know if this level was passed, but since it was okay, it proved that her speculation was correct, so she was completely relieved, and waited for a while to go up to Mr. High Hat to announce whether the game was cleared or again.
Since the cards were drawn three times from the witch, it is unlikely that he would only jump once.
Thinking in her heart, Mo Xiaoyao seemed to catch a glimpse of something in the corner of her eyes, she turned her neck to look at the corpse brother beside her, and found that he didn't know when he started, and suddenly changed.
His whole body seemed to be crushed by a road roller, slowly shrinking and flattening, and then starting from his feet, his whole body seemed to fade, losing the original color of his clothes, shoes and socks, and turning to a layer of lead gray, which looked quite terrible.
Then, the appearance of his face began to change, no longer resembling a human being, but gradually evolving into a scepter with a strange shape. Although the others are hanging upside down, the scepter is rushed up at the place of the handle, and no matter how you look at it, it is upright.
The transformation had been proceeding slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and by the time Mo Xiaoyao found that he had suddenly regained his freedom and down-to-earth, the hapless student brother had already completed all the transformations.
His girlfriend has been paralyzed on the high platform since she found out that her boyfriend died suddenly, except for the scream, she has been covering her mouth and staring at the big screen, kneeling on the ground and crying.
She watched the whole process of her boyfriend's transformation, and the fear and panic at this time was far greater than the message of her boyfriend's death, and when the three of them returned to the high platform, she trembled on the ground and turned around, looking at the scepter that kept making a beating sound of "tuk, tuk, tuk".
"Jin, Jin Wei?" The girl's voice changed tone, "You, don't scare me, you know my cowardly ......"
The scepter was still beating in place, "tuk, tuk, tuk", and under this scene, there was a strange feeling.
The rest of the people, including Mo Xiaoyao, all stepped back a bit, giving up the empty space around it to jump, and they didn't intend to meddle in helping out.
Actually, I don't know how to help. To grab the scepter? None of the people present were willing. Helping the girl to run quickly? The platform is so big, and you can't quit the project, where else can you go? If one of them doesn't stand well, and another one stumbles and falls, it's really over.
The girl may have thought of this too, and she hasn't moved since she turned around, but the tears are getting more and more fierce, and she can't stop it.
No one expected that it was Mr. High Hat, who had been silent, who broke the deadlock, and he took a few steps forward to the side of the scepter, and as soon as he stretched out a finger, the scepter reacted, as if he was afraid, as if waiting for an order, and only stood upright, but no longer beating.
"Go where you need to go."
Mr. Tall Hat spoke, and the scepter whimpered, and began to beat again, only this time it did not maintain the same frequency and height every time, as it had just done just now, but each time it jumped higher than the last, until after 4 or 5 jumps and had gathered enough strength, a bounce left the high platform, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Mo Xiaoyao squinted his eyes and estimated that the place should be the forest where he first stayed, and the innermost part was the witch's divination hut, but he didn't know if this scepter was put away by the witch in the past, or was hung on those trees like the previous queen.
I guess it's the latter.
Somehow, Mo Xiaoyao felt that when Mr. High Hat let the scepter leave just now, his tone was slightly different from that of talking to them, and when he thought about it, he felt as if he had a trace of pity. Of course, it could also be that she was thinking too much, or that she had been hanging upside down for too long, and her brain was congested and caused auditory hallucinations, but this was not the case at all.
But no matter which one it is, looking at the current situation, it is clear that the game has no intention of ending, and it will continue to the next round.
Sure enough, after taking away the scepter, Mr. Tall Hat once again faced the remaining 5 people, first pointed to the girl who was sitting on the ground, and the hollow voice sounded again: "The first jumper quits the game, and the second jumper please stand in front of the stage." β
After that, he didn't care what the girl's expression was, he turned to look at Mo Xiaoyao and them, the tall hat on his head turned in a circle, and then said: "The remaining two groups are full of people, please decide the second round of jumpers within 1 minute, and get ready." β
Mo Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows, can this game be replaced halfway?
Jiang Yan walked over: "Do you want to change?" β
Mo Xiaoyao raised his eyes to look at him: "It's so dangerous, do you still want to change?" The two middle-aged people next to her were about to pinch up, and they were so noisy that they were red-faced, and this one on her side even recommended herself?
Jiang Yan replied indifferently: "You're fine, and I'll be fine." β
Mo Xiaoyao snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows: "What is the reason?" God loves stupid kids? β
Jiang Yan shrugged: "Then I must not be favored by you." β
Mo Xiaoyao grinded his teeth, and finally for the sake of limited time, he raised his chin and nodded at the girl who stood up tremblingly: "Go and ask what she chose in the last round, if she tells you, I will jump this round." β
Jiang Yan stood still and didn't move: "Then you should jump." β
Mo Xiaoyao: "What? β
Jiang Yan clasped his hands on his shoulders and said, "After you finished choosing before, I have seen the other two groups. β
In Mo Xiaoyao's surprised gaze, Jiang Yan raised his left hand slightly and pointed at the middle-aged man with his index finger: "They, the tower, the star, and the god of death." The positive star was chosen. Theyβ" He withdrew his left hand and raised his right index finger again, "the reverse scepter, the upright sword, the upright lover." I chose a positive lover. β
After speaking, Jiang Yan added: "The options are all different, even if you know the answer, you can't say it as a reference, unless they know what their next card is." β
Mo Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, and in the last few seconds of the 1-minute countdown, he spoke softly: "At least I know that one of the three cards in the next round must beββ"
- The Righteous Fool.
