The one who qualified
"Can you sit down? I was dazzled when I looked at it from time to time. β
"Shut up."
It was a petite woman who spoke, and she was rubbing her hands back and forth in this small lounge, and it was obviously an exaggeration to say that she was dazzled, but it was not difficult for a discerning person to see that she was indeed in a very anxious mood at this moment.
This person is Nangong Qian, who just won the preliminary round not long ago, and the one who was shut up by her straightforwardly was Liang Jingmo, who qualified in the round earlier than her. The reason why it is not the same as "winning and qualifying" is because the latter wants to say that winning is really reluctant, in fact, he lost in the game, was kicked out of the game by the opponent, and only won the "qualification" in the sense of the rules of the game.
Although after Xiang Nanxing's explanation, Nangong Qian also knew that Liang Jingmo did not betray them, but this did not make her have a good impression of this dishonest young man. This is probably due to the opposition in personality, Nangong Qian, who is one-eyed, is at odds with Liang Jingmo, who acts casually, like cats and dogs. If Xiang Nanxing, who is the lubricant of the team, fails to qualify in the end, I am afraid it will be difficult for someone to pinch them into a team.
At this time, there was a third person in the room, and that was Chris, who came here first, but he was just shrunk in the corner, not daring to mix in the wonderful aura between these two people. Compared with Nangong Qian, who was overly anxious, and Liang Jingmo, who was too leisurely, his moderate amount of tension at this time undoubtedly seemed more like a normal person.
"Don't worry." Liang Jingmo said leisurely, "If my prediction is correct, that person will not let him have an accident." β
"Shut up." Nangong Qian directly pushed back angrily, "You are all the same, talking about secret strategies that people don't understand, but it always turns out to be a mess." If your prediction was really accurate, how could you have caused the whole situation to go beyond the plan just now? β
This rebuttal made Liang Jingmo speechless for a while. He was silent for several seconds before he retorted: "Then it's useless for you to be in a hurry here, you can't affect the situation on the other side." β
"I'm at least ......"
Nangong Qian was just halfway through her words, but the door suddenly opened. The first person to enter the room was the masked man, who still looked mysterious at this time, but there was a little more of a murderous aura on his body, which made people think of what had happened in the venue on the other side just now.
Liang Jingmo didn't look surprised by his appearance, but the other two opened their eyes wide in surprise. Although they also thought that this guy who had never only voted for himself might have some killer feature, they never seriously thought about what strategy the other party could adopt. At this time, after thinking about it, in that kind of factional situation, it is either that there is really some god strategy beyond their imagination, or there is a reversal plot on the side of the faction.
If it is the latter, Xiang Nanxing's situation will undoubtedly have a lot more variables. Thinking of this, Nangong Qian immediately poked her head out, looked past the masked man, and looked behind him.
She smiled.
"Hey, I didn't break my promise." Xiang Nanxing smiled at her, although the smile looked a little bitter. He didn't look damaged, but there were some blood stains on the clothes on his right arm, Nangong Qian was an expert after all, and he could see at a glance that these blood stains were all stained externally, and Xiang Nanxing himself was not injured.
But there was bloodshed in a voting game, and no matter how you look at it, it can't be considered a normal process that follows the rules.
"What's going on?" She asked worriedly.
Xiang Nanxing smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say." β
A few minutes ago, he almost thought he was going to die there. When Huang Lao glared at him with those murderous eyes, he subconsciously realized what something terrible he had just heard.
Which secret is the focus of his murderous intentions? Xiao Leping is actually a woman? Xiao Leping was seriously injured in this game? Or is it ...... The "princess" in the mouth of Wang Bei and others?
Xiang Nanxing felt that he had vaguely grasped some clues, but he didn't have time to figure out what was going on. Huang Lao's murderous aura was like a sharp blade stabbing head-on, although the real killing move had not yet been made, it had already made Xiang Nanxing's back cold and difficult to breathe.
Fortunately, in the next second, the masked man stood in front of him. Like a dam blocking the waves that kept coming, Xiang Nanxing suddenly felt that his whole person was relaxed all of a sudden, and the breath that was originally stuck in his throat could finally be exhaled smoothly. He shook a little, barely standing still, and then looking at the broad back of the masked man, suddenly that strange sense of familiarity hit his heart again.
At the same time, the host next to him, Xue Yan, gasped.
From just now, he was the closest to the masked man among the hosts present, and he was also the most directly under the pressure he gave. In the case of Yukihiko, he almost looked at the masked man with the same attitude as he treated an unprecedentedly strong enemy, and almost all his guard was placed on the other party.
However, just now, he was just a little distracted because of Xiao Leping's matter and Huang Lao's appearance, and when he came back to his senses, the masked man had already walked in front of Xiang Nanxing. In retrospect, he didn't take these steps very quickly, but he got cleverly stuck in everyone's attention gap, and finally no one noticed when he moved.
Compared with the activity ability of Xue Yan and others, which is far beyond ordinary people, this kind of action that directly calculates the surrounding environment is inconspicuous, but it is undoubtedly a notch higher. Of the people present, maybe only Huang Lao could match himβthis thought naturally flashed through Xue Yan's mind, and seeing Huang Lao's reaction at this time, he was even more curious about the identity of the masked man.
He just glanced at the masked man, and then set his eyes on Huo Yinan Wu Wenfeng, who was still standing. There was no need for more words between them at this moment - the masked man made a move and showed his attitude, and Huang Lao chose to give in - and as a veteran host in a high position, Xue Yan couldn't imagine that Huang Lao would choose to turn a blind eye to the person who stood in front of him.
Could it be that even Huang Lao, who had just used a pair of fitness iron balls to break the blade and get a headshot at a distance, was not sure to win the masked man in front of him? But the authority of the host cannot be offended, Shen Junhao is considered to have substantial violence and should be eliminated, but Wang Bei also died at the hands of Huang Lao, what is the crime? If you want to show the knife at other players, then Xiang Nanxing, who directly put the knife on Xiao Leping's neck, is undoubtedly even more damned, could it be that Huang Lao just gave up?
There was no need for him to ask, Huo Yinan, who was directly targeted by Huang Lao, couldn't resist the pressure and exploded. "Hey, host, this doesn't look like you're claiming to be fair!" He shouted in a thick voice, "It's the same violence, and the three of us are far less powerful than the person on the other side!" You didn't kill him, but you killed Wang Bei, does this make sense! β
Xue Yan looked at Huang Lao nervously. As a model for the host, the latter's answer at this time represents the position of the entire operator and is very important. Of course, he could run over the past without explanation, but in this way, it would make the other hosts present feel at a loss. Not only him, but the other four hosts were also waiting for Huang Lao's answer.
Huang Lao just smiled coldly.
"The reason for killing you is not the same as the reason for killing Shen Junhao." He said slowly, "Except for Shen Junhao, none of the others present used violence substantively. You three deserve to die because of something else. β
"Talking about royalty." When he said this, Huo Yinan and Wu Wenfeng let out a "huh" in unison. Huang Lao was still standing in place when he started to speak, but when he said these four words, he was already standing in front of them.
What is the speed?
The thought crossed their minds, and they immediately denied it. No, Huang Lao walked so slowly all the way, it was strange why they knew that they had to guard against this old man, but they waited until the other party got close to find out?
"'Walking in the blind spot'. A simple little trick that I will teach you if I have the opportunity in the future. β
Huang Lao turned his head and said lightly to the few young hosts present. He raised his hand, fingertips flicking out a few bits of red blood.
Behind him, two small, blood-colored fountains rose into the sky.
Until now, sitting in the lounge and recalling this scene, Xiang Nanxing still feels palpitations. If it weren't for the masked man standing in front of him at that time, he knew that he would have the same fate nine times out of ten. Wang Bei and the others couldn't dodge a blow, and he naturally had no chance at all.
However, compared to the horror, the unanswered questions and unpleasant things made him haunt him even more. Xiao Leping's real gender is enough to surprise people, and the title of "princess" involving the royal family makes him even more surprised. Of course, Xiang Nanxing knew that the Xifeng Republic still had a symbolic "royal family", but why the princess of the royal family wanted to disguise herself as a man and go to prison made him unable to understand this in any case.
These are doubtful words, and Shen Junhao's death will undoubtedly make him sad. During the short time he walked with Qiu Banxia, he once asked the latter about Shen Junhao's situation after the Three Kingdoms Game, and although the other party could not give a definite answer, he told him the story of Shen Junhao's past as compensation. So Xiang Nanxing completely understood the words he said before he started.
Although the matter of murder and revenge may not be all right, seeing the tragic situation of Shen Junhao's end, the sadness in Xiang Nanxing's heart is also extremely real. It's just that at this moment, no matter what kind of emotions he has, he must hold back, because the situation no longer allows him to let them flood, even if only a little.
As the door opened again, the fifth host, "Judge" Danqing, walked in alone. He didn't let out any hostility, but several people in the room subconsciously stood up.
Because his presence here at this time can only mean one thing.
"The White Night Festival is about to begin." Judge Dan Qing announced.
