Volume 2 Chapter 4 Blending into the Circle
"What the hell is going on, I don't have much time!"
When he heard that people were invited to eat for free and a place to live for free, he was uneasy. Nothing to show affection, either treachery or theft, Tang Yi is still clear about this.
It's just that now in the face of such a situation, Tang Yi was confused, he was going to kill just now, and now he is suddenly so good to him, he doesn't know what these guys think.
At this time, the old man of the store personally took out a bowl of Yangchun noodles and came over: "Eat it while it's hot, go upstairs after eating!"
"Khan..."
Tang Yi's body couldn't help but tremble, as if he was a domestic animal about to be slaughtered, knowing that he was going to die, but he wanted to eat more.
I don't want to eat noodles, but I want to force myself to eat them. Not only that, but the five bowls of noodles were all ordered by themselves, and they couldn't be taken upstairs, so they had to be eaten all at once.
Stuffing noodles into his mouth one by one, a miracle happened again, Tang Yi actually ate all the noodles, which he didn't expect at all.
Thinking about this period of time, he has eaten either bananas or apples, and has not eaten any staple food at all, and his stomach has long been unbearable, and now even if his appetite is not very good, once he starts eating, he can't stop.
After a full meal, Tang Yi couldn't move around by himself, the other party's strength was too strong, so he could only be carried by people, and soon reached the second floor.
Between the first floor and the second floor, there was a small door, and after Tang Yi was carried up, the two locked the small door and did not let him come down.
Tang Yi stood at the door in a daze, very depressed, hoping that Mao Ling'er would appear now, he wanted to ask clearly, what was going on, he didn't want to be locked up for the rest of his life.
If he didn't give him a better reason, Tang Yi wouldn't be afraid of a fish and a dead net, and do what he didn't want to do the most. Because in his eyes, everything is not absolute, just like a mathematical problem, the same problem, but there are multiple solutions.
There is no doubt that the answer is the same across the different solutions.
After staying at the door for a few minutes, Tang Yi still didn't see anyone come up to open the door for him, so he could only turn around and find a place to sit.
As far as the eye could see, there was no such thing as a room, or rather a large room, with twenty beds in it, and in the center, there was a large table, and around it, he saw several figures.
These people, all expressionless, checked the strength of the other party's breath, almost all of them were under their own strength. And they exude demonic aura all over their bodies, and they are obviously members of the demon clan.
At this time, Tang Yi was depressed again, and a lot of question marks popped up in his head, completely unaware of what was going on.
"Members of the Demon Clan, why are you also arrested here?"
Tang Yi muttered in his heart, and slowly approached, there were eight more people here, plus he made up nine people.
These guys were very slow to react, Tang Yi came to his side, they were still looking out of the window stupidly, not knowing what they were thinking.
At this time, Tang Yi pretended to cough and deliberately increased the volume, wanting to brush up the sense of existence, the feeling of being ignored was too uncomfortable.
After a while, among them, someone finally realized Tang Yi's existence, turned his head to look at him, saw that he was covered with wolf hair all over his body, and thought that he had seen a member of the wolf clan, so he raised his hand and signaled.
Tang Yi saw that the other party's attitude was not bad, although the atmosphere was a little worse, but these people had no malicious intentions, Tang Yi took a few steps forward and let himself get closer.
At this moment, everyone turned their heads and seemed to see hope.
Suddenly, the man who raised his hand just now immediately stood up, howled, and said excitedly: "Brother wolf, hello, I am also a member of the wolf clan, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Tang Yi's eyes almost fell out, he didn't expect this guy to look not very good, but his ability to set up is so powerful.
I used to run a security company, the company is small, he handles most of the company's things alone, and he has a calm heart in the early practice, and his verbal work is also good.
It's just that when I came to this magical place, my heart became younger, a little more enthusiastic, and I didn't seem so mature.
Since the other party took the initiative to say hello, Tang Yi didn't need to refuse, he didn't know how to introduce himself to them. It might be better to act as a member of the wolf clan.
Thinking of this, Tang Yi also learned to howl as a wolf, but he was a little lacking in confidence, and it didn't sound right. With this wolf brother making a move, Tang Yi used his superb skills again, and he immediately integrated into the eight people.
Since Tang Yi joined, everyone has talked a lot more. Through chatting, Tang Yi understood a lot of things, here, Tang Yi was the last to come in, hide his strength, and truly became Lao Jiu, that is, the smallest existence.
Everyone was very talkative, and the first one to be sent in was Uncle Tanuki, who also lived for more than two hundred years, but he knew all day long that he drank and slept and couldn't do anything.
In order to be able to eat, he chose to come here and participate in the annual dueling tournament.
The duel tournament was much more interesting than expected, with a total of three days and three awards, which were awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals. The top three in the tournament can be obtained, and they can become low-level nobles, and the entire family is protected by the Demon King.
The Duel Contest is also known as the Warrior Tournament, a long time ago, this was just a formality, all of them were outstanding talents of the demon clan, as long as they won the victory, then the winner would be sent to the temple to participate in the ceremony of lifting the seal.
But for thousands of years, batch after batch of people went, all kinds of demon geniuses fell in the temple, which greatly consumed the strength of the righteous power of the demon race, which caused the demonized demon clan to become even more rampant.
In order to balance the forces between the two, the current dueling tournament is purely for the selection of talents. Regardless of their humble or noble status, they can stand on the same starting line, and as long as they are strong enough, then they can get their own rewards.
In this way, special talents can be searched for on a large scale, and the greater the hope for the revitalization of the demon clan. This measure has worked well, finding a lot of talent and filling many vacant positions.
I feel that the benefits are not bad, but these guys don't seem to have any energy, just thinking about messing around, and they are worried about when dinner will be delivered.
Suddenly, Tang Yi stood up and said loudly: "There should be more than a few of us in this competition, there should be other people, can you be confident?"
"Confident... Where did you get your confidence, we are all unemployed vagrants, and we really can't get mixed up to come here!"
When Tang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Ah, what's going on, when did you come here?"
At this time, the wolf brother smiled slightly and said, "Big brother Tanuki, the first day after the last competition came, these fox brothers, I don't know!"
"Uh, you guys get along quite harmoniously, I really can't see it!"
Tang Yi covered his forehead, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
The member of the wolf clan spoke again and explained, "Brother wolf, you came too late, it's a loss!"
"What am I owing..."
Tang Yi exclaimed, he didn't know what he meant by this, but he listened to Mao Ling'er's recommendation and came over to eat a few bowls of noodles.
I just didn't expect that bowl of noodles to have such a deep meaning, it is simply a registration prop-like existence.
Seeing Tang Yi's troubled look, the goods continued: "We have been eating and drinking here for hundreds of days, and it is worth dying, if you come today, you will be sent to death tomorrow, isn't it a loss?"
"Sent to death, why do you have such an idea?"
Tang Yi sighed, it was really a group of fox friends and dogs, and a wolf and a raccoon cat.
Seeing their lazy appearance, Tang Yi added, "During this time, haven't you practiced more to improve your abilities?"
Hearing this, they each glanced at each other: "Cultivating such a thing, there is no need to be in a hurry at all, you can improve your strength by eating and sleeping, there is no need to work so hard, and you don't plan to win anyway." ”
"Damn, how big is the shadow area in your hearts, since you don't plan to win, then why are you signing up for it?"
At this moment, Tang Yi's head was so big that he couldn't figure it out at all.
At this time, everyone was silent for a while, as if they were thinking about the question raised by Tang Yi. Time passed minute by minute, and there was still no reaction.
In this regard, Tang Yi couldn't help but move around, wanting to say some words of encouragement, after all, he didn't want to die too early.
If the contestants were all like them, then Tang Yi alone could carry the banner of the battle, and there was no need for them to make a move, but judging from the tone of their voices, things were not as simple as he imagined.
Thinking of this, Tang Yi couldn't help but twist his neck, and then looked at the people at the table, only to see that they all had their eyes open, and after a while, they began to snore.
Faced with such a situation, Tang Yi's heart was broken. I didn't expect these guys to reach such a state that they could fall asleep even with their eyes open, and it seemed that they were bored during the year.
At this time, Tang Yi sighed and found that he had fallen into a big pit, and he didn't want to climb out for a while.
So he found a small bed against the wall and sorted out his thoughts, hoping to find a breakthrough.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Tang Yi's mind, and he immediately came to the window, this is the ordinary second floor, according to his current strength, it is not a problem to jump down casually.
Turning his head and glancing at those guys, they fell asleep with wide eyes, their faces were so calm, the preliminary round was going to start tomorrow, and they obviously had to give away their heads.
At this moment, Tang Yi looked at them and seemed to understand.
Looking at their serene expressions, Tang Yi was very surprised in his heart, these guys didn't think about winning at all, they were all going to die, and they seemed to have lost confidence in the real world.
It can also be said that they no longer have the desire to survive, and now they are just walking dead.
The time for eating and drinking has passed, and they have no value in existing.
Thinking of this, Tang Yi was shocked, and instantly had no idea of running away, at this moment, Tang Yi didn't know what was wrong with him, and he always had a feeling of sympathy.
Once upon a time, I had such an experience, and at that time I was very depressed, feeling that it didn't matter if there was him or not in the world, it didn't matter.
It was a teenager, an age of extreme lack of self-confidence. And now seeing such a group of monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, their minds are also the same, which shows that the IQ of the members of the demon clan is too low.
