Chapter 359: Fellow Practitioners

Putting on his strange gentleman's top hat, Tang Juyi's hand was on the doorknob, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"I'm a pure Asian American, but I have to wear a hat in this style...... I don't know what strange things have gone wrong with the clothing culture of this world. ”

Shaking his head slightly, Tang Juyi still unscrewed the door lock and pushed the door open.

The light outside the door is not much better than inside the house, probably because of the corrosion of the electrical circuit, and the light in the corridor outside will make a "sizzle" sound from time to time.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are rusty steel plates that used to have a thick layer of paint, but which has gradually fallen off with the passage of time.

After a quick look, Tang Juyi confirmed the number of rooms in this corridor:

"There are 16 rooms in two rows, and if there is one participant in each room, then it is conservatively estimated that there are 15 people in this corridor...... But there were far more than 16 names on the book of iniquity, so there might be more than one guest bedroom corridor on the ship, and the number of people who might have been placed on the island of the Cursed Death would be about the same......"

Lowering the brim of his hat a little, most of Tang Juyi's face was covered by shadows, and the black tattoo that spread faintly from his collarbone made his temperament look mysterious.

In order to avoid startling the snake, Tang Juyi did not knock on any of the doors to prevent people from guessing that he was also a participant in the assessment.

So far, he didn't know how many people had left his room, so he had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise those who left the hallway earlier would be able to determine the identity of those who came after him.

The people who participated in the hell assessment were more or less outstanding, although they might also be stunned young people who didn't know anything, but Tang Juyi preferred to see his opponent as an experienced and cunning person, so he had to try to put himself in an advantageous position in terms of access to information.

Suppressing his steps a little, Tang Juyi walked quickly through the corridor and walked towards the stairs in the direction ahead.

Due to the impact of the waves, there was occasionally a slight shaking in the cabin, but it was not very important for Tang Juyi.

At the moment when he was about to step on the stairs, there was also the sound of the door opening not far behind him, and Tang Juyi also paused, turned around and looked at the source of the sound.

It was a young woman with loose hair, not very good-looking, but with a youthful and vivid charm. There are also a few well-braided braids in the messy hair, and the red hair color gives her a strange look.

With white skin, a European-style appearance, plus the white paint on his face, and a very characteristic coarse cloth outfit on his body, Tang Juyi immediately realized that the other party was also a special character.

Seeing several small dolls made of straw hanging from the woman's waist at a glance, Tang Juyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said secretly in his heart:

"Facial paint with ethnic characteristics, carrying straw dolls, plus hair accessories and clothing, should be a person in some kind of small tribe......"

The moment they looked at each other, Tang Juyi and this woman both saw the cautious and exploratory meaning in each other's eyes, so they invariably revealed a look of enlightenment.

"She's one of the participants in the hell test, and she's known for who I am......"

For this woman's reaction to be so quick and keen, although Tang Juyi had expected it, he was somewhat surprised.

Shaking the collar of his coat, Tang Juyi didn't have the idea of going up to communicate with her, but planned to turn around and continue walking up the stairs, but he didn't expect to hear the other party's soft call:

"Wait a minute!"

Tang Juyi's footsteps did not stop, but sped up a little, and at the same time, there were hurried footsteps behind him, obviously the strange woman catching up.

Tang Juyi walked at the top of the stairs, and the woman had already followed him.

"Your voice just now could easily elicit other people."

Tang Juyi didn't reply, but said in a small voice.

The woman behind her responded:

"I know, that's exactly what I'm here to do."

Tang Juyi's steps up the stairs stopped, turned his head to look at the woman who had already walked to his side, and stared at the other party's black eyes for a moment:

"You want to shorten the time it takes them to get information and force them to meet each other to make things chaotic?"

The moment he said this, Tang Juyi got a negative hint:

[Because the words you say don't match your character's identity, your hidden benefits are reduced]

With a shock in his heart, Tang Juyi had a deeper understanding of this hidden benefit:

"Is that so? Shouldn't my role be able to say this kind of thing that can only be said from the perspective of the participants, so the degree of agreement is reduced, and the hidden benefits are also affected? ”

Based on this prompt, Tang Juyi quickly made a further analysis:

"In other words, my movements, my words, my dress, and even the position I choose in some cases can affect how well I fit into my character...... It's like a movie, and the actors are not allowed to perform as themselves! ”

The woman didn't know the content of the hint Tang Juyi got, so she was unguarded:

"yes, I think that shout should make them think there's a new key plot going on. That way, they'll be able to use it to collect—"

Before the words fell, the red-haired woman held back the second half of her sentence, and at the same time, her eyes changed.

Of course, Tang Juyi knew that the other party had also received a prompt, and at the same time deduced a new content:

"She's also detached...... Otherwise, the word 'plot' would not be used to describe ......"

However, after knowing that this woman's identity was also detached, Tang Juyi was bound by information instead.

He had long wondered if there would be hints and help from the extradimensional in the group of people who participated in the assessment, such as the storage space to choose items.

But since the woman in front of her was a detached person, it was reasonable for her to be prompted, and it was impossible to deduce what would happen to those who were not detached.

"Why did you stop me? I remember we didn't seem to know each other. ”

Tang Juyi's eyes glanced in the direction of the corridor, and he had already heard several sounds of the door opening, so he deliberately lowered his voice, and at the same time continued to walk towards the top of the stairs, and quickened his pace.

This woman obviously has the same judgment as Tang Juyi, and after discovering that many of those assessment participants were led out, she also followed Tang Juyi outside:

"I see a different kind of guidance in you...... Unlike others I've seen, you have a special aura on you. ”

This sentence sounds like a change in the style of the content, and it is obviously for a special purpose.

Of course, Tang Juyi understands what the other party is doing: improving the fit of the role.

Judging from the other party's clear thinking and the identity of the same detached person, the purpose of her approaching Tang Juyi is most likely to obtain information or win over her companions, and it is by no means a "guide" full of superstition.

In addition, she also received the same prompt as Tang Juyi, so she said such strange words only because of the particularity of her character.

Tang Juyi suddenly became interested in this woman, because he found that the other party seemed to be a person who could stand at the same level of thinking as himself:

"Really? Then I think there may be some deviation in the guidance you're seeing...... Unless you intend to go to calamity. ”
