With the end of the preliminaries, the night also slowly descended on the world, and the darkness of the sky shrouded the world in a layer of fog, which made people can't help but hide back in the warmth of their homes and wait for the dawn to come.

After a tumultuous preliminaries, most of the audience fell asleep with a sense of satisfaction and anticipation, but for others, tonight could turn into a sleepless night.

While most people have gone to bed early, the hustle and bustle of work continues in a luxurious office in the "Summit Arena", which has returned to silence.

"Mr. Faust, the results of the investigation on the contestant Luo Lan have come out, he has indeed not taken any "enhancers" just ......"

"It's just what? If you have something to say, you can just say it all at once, don't you see that I'm very busy. ”

In the executive officer's office in the magnificent "Pinnacle Arena", the second executive officer, Faust, was quickly processing the large pile of information in front of him, and said impatiently to his assistant.

The scale of this "competition" is huge, and the amount of logistics that needs to be completed behind it is naturally amazing, but since Faust is currently in charge here, he naturally has to work hard to complete these tasks, even if he works overtime overnight.

After today's preliminaries, they have compiled the profiles of the 64 players who entered the main event this time, and have been preparing for a series of main events starting tomorrow overnight.

The schedule is roughly as follows: after the first day of preliminaries, the next six days will be followed by the round of 64, round of 32, round of 16, round of eight, round of four and finally the final.

Since every match is played immediately, there is no time to spare, so the preparation before the game is particularly crucial.

Originally, in Faust's mind, the first day of the preliminaries was basically a smooth ride, but in the last preliminaries, there were some unexpected circumstances, which made them have to spend a lot of time to investigate.

And the object of their investigation is the "nobody" Luo Lan who made a big splash in the eighth preliminaries.

At the end of the game, many people testified that they had seen Luo Lan swallow the contents of a small bottle, and they did find the small bottle from Luo Lan's arms later......

It stands to reason that taking a "booster" during a competition is an ironclad disqualification, but the results of the investigation surprised Faust.

"What? You said that Luo Lan was not taking a "booster", but ...... Poison?"

Looking at the post-mortem investigation information about Luo Lan in his hand, Faust couldn't believe his eyes.

At the beginning, Faust, like many ordinary spectators, thought that Luo Lan must have taken some kind of high-efficiency "enhancer", which was able to burst out with such a strong strength in the second half of the game.

However, in the information in Faust's hands, the team of healers and healers in charge of the investigation all came to the same conclusion, that is, the liquid residue in Luo Lan's body and bottle was actually a highly poisonous poison called "Dark Vine"!

The "Dark Vine" is said to grow only in caves where corpses accumulate all year round, and its vines are so poisonous that even a little bit of skin can cause them to lose consciousness and die in just a few seconds.

And the liquid "Dark Vine" in Luo Lan's body was enough to poison ten adults in terms of dose, but after taking such a poison, he could still continue to fight, which also made the logistics team of the "Summit Arena" puzzled.

"Is this going to disqualify him?"

"This ......" Faust didn't know how to answer after hearing his assistant's inquiry.

In terms of rules, taking "fortifiers" is still ironclad to remove the list, but there is no regulation on how to deal with poison.

But it's no wonder, at least so far, that Faust has heard for the first time that someone suddenly pulled out a bottle of poison and poured it into himself.

"Forget it, let's ignore this guy for the time being, anyway, judging by his injury, I don't think he will be able to play tomorrow. ”

Thinking of the injury Luo Lan suffered in the duel with Wuming today, Faust felt that he would have less trouble, because he didn't feel that he could still go on stage the next day with that kind of injury.

"But this year's contestants are really ...... I guess I'll never see a second time in my life. ”

After waving his assistant to step down, Faust couldn't help but sigh, as the general person in charge of this "competition", his current emotions are actually a bit complicated.

Originally, Faust must have been very happy after "that adult" brought the blood artifact as a prize and gave himself the order to hold a "scramble".

But when the real competition was about to kick off, this old man who had worked hard for the "Summit Arena" for decades suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and it seemed that something was confused by himself.

If he had done things according to reason and rules, Faust would definitely not have held this "competition", after all, "that adult" did not provide information about the source of this "prize" and his identity, and it stands to reason that he should not have done so.

But for some reason, Faust always unconsciously puts "that adult" above reason and rules, so even such a strange thing he agrees to, and takes on the holding of this "scramble" with all his might.

But is it really okay to take "that thing" as a prize? That's ...... Thinking of this, Faust couldn't help but look towards a secret compartment in his room, where the blood artifact was placed as a prize for this "scramble".

To be honest, Faust had seen at least hundreds of Blood Hallows in his life, but he had never seen anything so ominous and so weird.

Even more terrifyingly, after placing the most prized item in his office, Faust occasionally had nightmares at night, dreaming that "that thing" would open its bloody mouth and swallow everyone into his belly......

Although he would always classify this dream as "unrealistic" after waking up, that scene recurred again and again, and was deeply imprinted in Faust's heart.

Should I retire sooner and go back to the countryside to retire?" Faust sighed deeply, feeling helpless at his old age and nervousness.

"Here you go, this is the grouping table for tomorrow's top sixty-four, hurry up and have someone make it overnight and post it at all entrances and exits. ”

After some business, Faust called back his assistant and handed over a list of names and crossed lines.

"Yes!

After the young assistant left with the list, Faust was left alone in the office, and the old man, who had finally calmed down, walked to the window and looked at the silent scene around him, silently thinking about the main game that would start tomorrow.

To tell the truth, this "scramble" can be said to be the most fierce Faust has seen in so many years.

Among them, there are not only Yuluo, Xisa, and Wuming, who became famous at a young age, but also dark horses such as Yufeng, Hades, and Luo Lan, which makes people surprised and happy.

"Let's hope tomorrow's game goes smoothly. Faust whispered to the window, as if to himself, or to the stars or clouds outside the window

In any case, this "scramble" is indeed very unusual for Faust, but he could never have imagined that he would play such an "important" role in the upcoming big event......

Almost at the same time, in a room in the backyard of the Church of Healing, some distance from Faust's "Summit Arena", a young man was walking around in front of his bed.

The young man was dark-skinned, dressed in a very wild animal skin suit and trousers, with very strong muscles in his arms, and was clearly a powerful witcher.

It's just that this young demon hunter from the Western Regions, Rahman was in a very bad mood at this time, because it was his own brother Luo Lan lying on the hospital bed in front of him.

After leaving his hometown in the "Burman Desert" in the Western Regions, Rahman has always missed his brother who is not strong, but he still stands tall in the sky, but he never imagined that the two brothers would meet in such strange circumstances half a year later.

"Brother...... What's wrong with you? What happened to you in the last six months? Who made you like this?"

Rahman looked at Luo Lan, who was covered in bruises on the hospital bed, and there was almost no intact place on his body, and he only felt that his nose was sore, and he was almost about to cry.

Of course, Rahman's sadness was not that Luo Lan was seriously injured at this time, but that he was ...... What this originally gentle brother did in the ring before.

If it weren't for the exact same name and appearance, Rahman couldn't believe that the man who exuded a manic aura like a mad dog in the ring today would be Luo Lan.

Although the elder brother in Rahman's memory was very poor in cultivation, he was a man who would rather starve himself than feed his younger brother, and would not complain about any hardship.

And what about Luo Lan who appeared today? In Rahman's opinion, that kind of Luo Lan is like ...... Like a killing maniac who only knows how to fight!

You must know that although Luo Lan and Rahman were born in the same gang of horse thieves, they did not like to kill since they were children, so they escaped from the horse thieves group with their younger brother at the age of twelve, and the two brothers fled to the "Burman Desert" together and lived a very hard life.

Because of such a past, Luo Lan's character doesn't like to fight, he just wants to let himself and his younger brother no longer worry about food and clothing, that's all.

What happened to such a man to become what he is today? Rahman unconsciously clenched his fists, desperate to know the truth about his brother......

He just thought about it and thought about it until ...... The door behind him was quietly pulled open.
