"Are you two sure? If needed, I can find a way to contact my brother, it's not a hassle. Qi Bing looked at Wang Xu and Master Mao, who were sorting out their equipment.

Elbert said, "yes, actually, we can go together, it's always good to have more people to help." ”

The cat master was still busy with the things in hand, and replied impatiently: "There are only two kinds of people who can participate in this event, the first is the person who has the ticket, that is, Wang Xu, and the second, the person who was invited by the organizers of the bad taste." He pointed to himself: "Others, don't waste that ticket money, maybe they will teleport it back." He forced a laptop into a suitcase that was already full of all kinds of trivial items, and then let out a long breath: "I only hope that this is the last time I will deal with those demons, and then retire from the ghost hunting world smoothly in the next few years, the whole plan is simple, it is like tearing off the band-aid, it takes such an event to make a stop." ”

Wang Xu continued: "And I'm for money and women." ”

Qi Bing said coldly: "Can't you just say a noble reason?" It's like...... Well...... That's what other normal humans do. ”

Wang Xu sighed with a very unbeaten expression: "People in the world are burdened with empty ideals and moral shackles, and if they like that, let them go." We smart people can talk to each other a little more explicitly, and remember that everything in this world revolves around two things – money and women. ”

"Good words." The cat master said, he turned his head to look at Qi Bing and Elbert: "You should write down this sentence and take it out and read it when you are free." ”

Before the two of them could react, Wang Xu said again: "This is a good word?" I'll just open my mouth to this kind of sentence. With a more in-depth look, he looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle: "3P is every man's dream." Then he looked back at the other three: "Look, how about this sentence, it's almost the same level as 'time is money', right?" ”

Qi Bing lowered his head, his expression was solemn, and his gaze gradually deepened.

Wang Xu asked, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Your lower limit ......"

"Hmmm......"

The cat master interjected at this time: "I still have a question, what is your little girlfriend's attitude towards your trip?" ”

Wang Xu frowned and said, "Hmm...... How so...... After I told her what had happened, she unexpectedly demanded that I make sure to save Yanli unharmed. ”

After pondering for a moment, Mao Ye said, "Can this be understood that the relationship between the two of them is actually not so tense?" ”

Wang Xu spread his hands: "How do I know?" According to me, it can be understood as ......" He looked up at the ceiling again: "Threesome is also every woman's dream." ”

This time even Elbert lowered his head, searching for something unlikely to find.

…………

The seven-day time limit was coming to an end, and Wang Xu and Mao Ye were ready to set off and embarked on a flight to New York two days in advance. At the same time, several more people from all over the world are heading towards the same destinations as them......

…………

New York, Timessquare, in fact, this place should be translated as "Times Square", but everyone is used to using "Times Square", and no one cares about the difference between the two names, just like CityofNewYork is the official name of New York City, who cares? That's all we know is NewYorkCity.

At noon on the seventh day, at the intersection of West 42nd Street and Broadway, known as the "crossroads of the world," gathered four of the most notorious guys in Hell.

I don't know what year it began, the four of them were called the "Four of Hell", yes, that, and their reaction to this title was either indifferent or obscene and non-commenting, the only one who was strongly disgusted was Simon, apparently he had killed a lot of people in the first few years he heard the nickname, but the reality was that some signs could not be suppressed by force, and in this matter, Simon's actions had the opposite effect.

Getting back to business again, they're here today, and it's not because someone wrapped a cat bone with a picture of themselves and buried it in a box and buried it in the ground (the method of summoning demons at the crossroads mentioned before, well, maybe no one cares if I say it or not). It's because a game of unprecedented pomp and circumstance is about to begin.

As Vincent said, this game is about life and death, past and future, it is a sign of destiny and a link between time and space. Its significance to the world cannot even be described in any words. And the most important point is that there is only one winner.

The bustling crowd gradually thinned out, and after about fifteen minutes, there were only a dozen or so people left on the street, and not even a single car could be found on the road. Except in the early hours of the morning, it is impossible to see such a scene on this street, but at noon, the impossible becomes possible.

On the big screen in the square, a close-up of Vincent suddenly appeared, still smiling and calm. Today, all four of them wore a full black suit that looked very expensive, as if they were going to attend an important occasion like an awards ceremony.

Clearing his throat, he spoke, "Everyone, you're all on time." I've noticed that some people have been wandering around the neighborhood since last night, like schoolchildren looking forward to a spring outing. He adjusted the position of his tie: "So, please show your tickets." ”

Wang Xu looked at the few people around him, and saw that these guys had taken out rag dolls, crutches, alarm clocks and other objects, he shrugged his shoulders and pulled out the firewood knife on his waist.

"Very well, please take good care of your tickets, this is a very important role in the game." Vincent raised his voice slightly: "Everyone in the audience with tickets in hand, you all know in your hearts that I have something important to you, or someone important, and all in all, I give everyone a very good reason to participate. His eyes fell on the cat master: "As for the companions around you who don't have tickets, let me explain now, they are the advisors I carefully selected for you, each of them has one, and I believe that you are also full of confidence in the ability of your respective consultants." ”

He snapped his fingers, and the image on the big screen behind him began to change: "I'm going to explain the rules of the game now." ”

"Wait." The man with the alarm clock suddenly spoke up and interrupted Vincent's speech.

Everyone looked back at him, it was a very ordinary-looking man, Asian, with short black hair, and a jacket and jeans outfit that was not eye-catching. The advisor next to him was an old man in his sixties, wearing a dirty hat, and he looked quite strong.

"Hey, hey, hey...... How? Do you want to go to the toilet? Schoolmate. Woody smirked.

The only person who could laugh when he heard this joke was Wang Xu, but his laughter stopped rather awkwardly amid the bewildered gazes cast by everyone.

The man in the jacket continued, "I just want to know why. Why did this so-called game choose us? Also, if we can't finish the game, will you destroy what you use to blackmail us? ”

Vincent laughed, "Oh, this...... It is not me who has chosen you, but a higher being, and you have no right to know anything about him, so I will not tell you the selection criteria. As for the 'blackmail' in your mouth...... It's just a means for me to make sure that you will come, and I don't have to destroy the people or things that are important to you, because they don't matter to me.

I can tell you now that even if I do not achieve final victory, I will give you back what I took from you. As for the final winner, there will be a super jackpot for this game, can this answer satisfy you? ”

The man in the jacket immediately said, "Then I'll abstain now!" ”

"Ahhh~" Vincent shook his finger: "This is not good, it is impossible to abstain, the New York you are in now is a city that cannot be left." Whether you're walking, flying, teleporting, or using any of humanity's existing vehicles, or even the Space Agency's booster rockets, the Kazami Hayato Aslarda...... There is no viable way to get out of here, except, of course, 'death'. ”

When everyone was silent, the cat man yawned and muttered in a low voice: "I expected it......"

And Wang Xu looked at Vincent with very shocked eyes: "Aslarda is real?" ”

Vincent smiled, he ignored Wang Xu and the cat master, and continued: "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try, even if you fly out in the direction of the Atlantic Ocean, fly him for a few days and nights, and when you look back, you must be greeted by the east coastline of the United States, and if you are lucky, you can still see the Statue of Liberty." It's some of our high-level demons' little tricks, similar to the Penrose Ladder, not complicated, but effective. He smugly curled the corners of his mouth: "I know what you're thinking, and you don't think it's a problem to not be able to leave at the moment, just stay in the city with nothing until someone wins the game, and you can go home, right?" Hehe...... I must tell you, that is not possible. ”

Vincent turned around slowly, and a new picture appeared on the large screen in the square behind him, which seemed to be some kind of animated poster from the early eighties of the last century, and the whole picture was divided into four parts, namely the sky, the sea, the earth, and the flames.

Among the more than a dozen people present, two of them changed their expressions the moment they saw the painting, and their eyes were full of surprise and excitement. These two people, one is Wang Xu, and the other is Li Yadi.

Vincent continued what he had just said: "As for the reason, you will understand it when the game officially starts, and now, let me continue with the explanation just now." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced behind him, "Whoever dares to interrupt me again, I'll tear his soul to pieces, grind it into powder, add it to marijuana cookies, and throw it into the men's dorm room of the community college." ”
