Chapter 42: Containment
There is an interception in front, and there are pursuers in the rear.
Everything happened too suddenly, Mu Zilei hurriedly stopped the pace of rushing forward, turned around, staggered with the pursuers behind, and narrowly returned to the fork and turned into the left passage.
"Stop chasing. It was the leading boy who had blocked the passage, his voice was not loud, but it had an irresistible majesty.
With this shout, the members of the Qingshan team, who had been desperately chasing, stopped one after another, watching their "prey" go away.
"Brother!" the boy's hoarse voice was full of surprise, and he ripped off his mask, "Why are you here?"
"It's not your anger that has attracted me, how many times have I said it, you have to learn to control your emotions," the long-haired boy walked out of the passage with a female teammate who also had long hair, "Every time any of us are any of us, as long as there are strong mood swings, no matter how far away, the other party can detect it, sometimes I can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, originally I had a few beautiful people to hunt with me today, but all of you just ate people's anger to affect the evil." ”
His words caused a burst of laughter from the female teammate next to him, and for a moment there was a gurgling sound, and attractive people were so popular everywhere.
"It's all a good thing that the guy just did. The hoarse boy lowered his head in shame, and only in front of his brother who played a little worship, he would have such a childish performance as the leader of a detachment of the Star Tower Class, and the teammates behind him had already been surprised by this, and even the girl in the team who had always preferred short hair was hesitant for the first time to start growing long hair from today, so that next time he could become a member of this long-haired team, the Hongyan team, and accompany this "heartthrob".
"Tell me, who has angered my good brother Mushan this time?" The elder brother took off his mask, revealing a handsome appearance similar to his younger brother, both of them had black onyx-like hair that many girls envied, and those who knew them well knew that the biggest difference between the twins, in addition to their different voices, was the difference in their demeanor, the former always looked lazy, while the latter often had a tight little face.
"It doesn't matter anymore, he's gone. Mu Shan said discouragedly.
"Is that all you expect from your brother?" Mu Shan's eyes lit up at this point, and then he realized that his brother's other three members of the Hongyan team were not present, "Everyone knows that whoever offends my good brother must have the consciousness to bear my Mu Yun's anger." ”
Although Mu Yun's gaze was as casual as ever, as his name suggested, and the clouds were light, Mu Shan knew that since he was a child, his twin brother had never let him down.
"Come with me," Mu Yun said as he took the lead and walked into the fork on the left, "The good show of 'Trapped Beast Fighting' has just begun." ”
Seeing that the people behind him gave up the pursuit, Mu Zilei's tense heart relaxed slightly, and he was still running forward, but his pace had slowed down significantly. It was a long, narrow passage, and so far he had not hit a dead end, and the exit was not far ahead.
Only then did he think about what he had overheard, that the Qingshan team, which originally belonged to White, had the idea of his own people, and when he entered the middle circle of the labyrinth, he could sneak up on the non-Star Squad by changing into the "Evil Spirit" mask and pretending to be Black's people, so that he could not only steal the black masks that others had worked hard to collect, but also achieve the goal of reducing White's competitors, which was undoubtedly an effective trick for the Star Tower Men to compete for the final victory.
It's no wonder that the Aoyama team came to chase me like crazy, probably because they were worried that the matter would be revealed, after all, according to the rules of the evil hunting competition, this would be disqualified. Mu Zilei's mind turned, and he finally figured out the cause and effect, but questions came one after another, although they changed into black masks, they were still wearing that very conspicuous white spirit suit, isn't this full of flaws, making people recognize them at a glance pretending to be Black?
At this point, the exit is already close at hand.
Mu Zilei didn't feel refreshed, temporarily put aside the doubts in his mind, and sped up his pace to run forward, but the accident happened again.
Three figures suddenly appeared at the end of the passage, all dressed in white, and the six-pointed star on their chests clearly indicated the identity of the comer.
Mu Zilei's heart sank straight down, he quickly turned his head, but before he ran to the middle of the passage, another team of seven people from the White Square came towards him, and it was the people from the group of stars just now.
"Mu Yun, we have a good timing, right?" said a petite girl with long hair who approached from the end of the passage.
Mu Zilei only now realized that the reason why they gave up catching up at the fork was because they had set up another ambush earlier, and it was not until they were allowed to pass through the passage that the ambush soldiers appeared from the exit. In this way, he was forced to turn back, and when the people at both ends of the passage converged, he happened to be stuck in the middle of the passage, and he was out of place.
"Of course, who else can do things as well as the beauties of our Hongyan team?" Mu Yun chuckled, he looked at his "prey" with interest, "But then again, when did such a person come out of our academy?"
"Well, you see how deformed he looks, it's no wonder he's an old man under the mask, right?" another girl with long brown hair chimed in, causing a smirk.
"Run, I see where you're going to run?" Mu Shan said fiercely in a vicious tone, "Aren't you very good at running just now?"
As he spoke, he led his men and horses into the crowd, with a cat-and-mouse playful look.
Mu Zilei under the mask was already sweating like rain, and he would definitely not be able to beat him, and the way to escape was blocked again, what should I do?
"Wait a minute," just as the pursuers were about to make a move, Mu Zilei quickly shouted in a flash of inspiration, "Take the mask, I'll surrender, won't this be it?"
There was a moment of stunned for a while, and then except for Mu Yun, who was as quiet as Mount Tai, the others laughed for a while.
"Have you ever seen a hunter give up his prey because a boar kneels down to intercede?" Mu Shan was the first to stop laughing and said meaningfully.
"Of course, hunters don't give up their prey easily, but everyone knows that a boar will never kneel on the ground to intercede like a human," Mu Zilei calmly retorted, "Of course, I can't be a boar, and a boar won't use this." ”
With that, he reached around the sides of his backpack and quickly took out the two signal stones.
Although the prize of this competition is the fetal bone pill that everyone is eager for, Mu Zilei is not as eager for the pill as others, because he clearly knows that no matter how effective the fetal bone pill is for physical improvement, it is impossible to return his upright body, not to mention the medicinal effect of nourishing spiritual power, and it is undoubtedly a cow playing the piano to him, a half-spirit.
As for the game itself, although it is under the banner of celebrating the holiday, it is actually playing an unbalanced trick, whether it is from the beginning of the distribution of strength between black and white, or from the record that there is no single black win in history, it can be seen that the balance of victory has already fallen in favor of white, and there is no need for him to suffer for such an unfair game. After all, this is the iron law of the traditional festival of the gods for thousands of years - evil cannot prevail over good, and the righteous side representing the gods must defeat the evil forces representing the evil spirits.
Just as he was about to touch the white side of the two signal stones, a figure passed by.
"Yes, the boar doesn't know how to use signal stones, but the hunter doesn't allow his prey to do it at will," Mu Yun, who had been watching the changes, threw a signal stone that he snatched from Mu Zilei's hand, and his tone was lazy but cold, "Give it all to me, we have been delayed by him for a long time!"
