Chapter 123: Rules of the Game
"Ahem." Guan Jiyu woke up from a foul smell, her throat and eyes were uncomfortably dry, but when she opened her eyes, there was darkness in front of her, she couldn't see anything, she could only feel a burst of clammy coldness on her body.
She seemed to be soaking in a pool of water, the water in which had reached her shoulders, it was not clean water, and she could imagine how muddy the water was just by smelling it. Guan Jiyu tried to move, but found that her two hands were firmly chained by shackles, and she couldn't reach out to the hair on the side of her mouth. At the bottom of the pool, too, a bunch of chains were wrapped around her ankles.
Guan Jiyu didn't know why she was in this place, she remembered that before she fell to the ground, she saw Jiang Yingnian covering his nose with the fabric on his clothes, the cloth in his hand was stained with blood, and now she doesn't know what happened to him......
"Jiang Yingnian, Jiang Yingnian?" Guan Jiyu called tentatively twice, but no one responded, and only a few echoes came from all around.
"Folding? Respectfully? Are you there?"
The echo settled, and the silence returned to death. "I should be the only one here......" Guan Jiyu suddenly had a fluke mentality, she was locked up here alone, does it mean that she was the only one who was caught? Jiang Yingnian, have they escaped smoothly?
Guan Jiyu was thinking in her mind when suddenly there was a "creaking" sound of pushing the door, and the light in front of her approached with the sound of footsteps, and the light was getting closer and closer to her. Before she could react, several lights had been lit in this room.
Guan Jiyu stayed in the dark for a long time, and she couldn't adapt to the light for a while, she couldn't help but close her eyes suddenly, and slowly opened her eyes.
She saw a few people wearing gold armor standing in front of her, who were not too tall, and should be the same group as the gold armor people who fought before. They looked at her like caged birds, but no one spoke first. Guan Jiyu raised his head and asked, "What do you want to do with me?"
The only one of these people wearing gold armor who does not have a big brother's helmet, and the pendant on his clothes is also the most exquisite, so he should be regarded as the leader of them.
He took a step forward, squatted on the edge of the pool, looked at Guan Jiyu with interest, and said, "Disposition? Did I say I'm going to deal with you?"
In Guan Jiyu's puzzled gaze, he stretched out his hand and pulled the giant chain hanging around Guan Jiyu's neck, and said, "Why do you only ask yourself as soon as you open your mouth? Why don't you ask your other three friends?"
Guan Jiyu's heart was cold, she was pulled by him and couldn't stand steadily, she staggered forward, the water splashed her face, Guan Jiyu spit out the sewage in her mouth, and said viciously, "Did you arrest them too? Where are they?"
The leader of the golden armor took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the water splashed on his hands, shook his head, and said, "You are too impatient, I don't like it. Why are you always rushing to ask questions?"
"I don't care if you like it or not?!" Guan Jiyu glared at him angrily and said stubbornly, "I fell into your hands, and I want to kill or kill casually, but you have to let me know where my three companions are now, right?" Even if you want me to die, you should let me die!"
The leader of the golden armor stood up, looked down at Guan Jiyu condescendingly, and said, "It's very simple to know where they are, I can tell you now." He clapped his hands, and next to him a gold-armored man came over with a wooden plate, and on the plate were three squarely cut pieces of paper.
The leader of the golden armor picked up the three pieces of paper and showed them to Guan Jiyu, "Your three companions are in rooms 1, 2, and 3 respectively."
Guan Jiyu sneered and said, "What is your answer? I don't even know where I am, how can I possibly know where the rooms you said are, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3?"
"Don't you know where you are?" The leader of the golden armor looked around the cell and said, "Can't you see that this is a dungeon?"
Guan Jiyu said disdainfully: "Whatever it is." She looked directly at the Golden Armor Leader and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to rush to ask questions again. May I ask you if I have a chance to visit the rooms you mentioned in rooms 1, 2 and 3?"
"Absolutely." The leader of the golden armor raised his eyebrows, spread out three pieces of paper in front of her, and said, "You can choose, you can only choose one, you can go to which room you choose, whatever you want!"
"What about the remaining two rooms? When can I go to see it?" Guan Jiyu asked urgently.
The leader of the golden armor frowned at her and said unceremoniously, "You are not only selfish, but also greedy. Sure enough, there are such despicable races in the Xuli Kingdom, so you will eventually be devoured by us and replaced by us."
It could be seen that the leader of the golden armor was full of disgust, and Guan Jiyu knew what he meant by "selfishness" and "greed". She was helpless, but she couldn't refute his fallacious reasoning, so she had to say, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, you are right, I am just very selfish, and the first thing I woke up was that I didn't ask my companions first! I'm just a selfish ghost who only thinks about myself. So I beg you, give me a chance to repent, and let me go around all three rooms, and let me do whatever you want with them!"
The leader of the golden armor ignored her verbosity, and only said again, "You hurry up and choose, and you will go to the number of rooms if you choose."
Guan Jiyu was shocked in her heart, but she pretended to be indifferent on her face, she hesitated at the three pieces of paper, and the leader of the golden armor saw her hesitation, and said, "Why do you still treat your companions differently?"
"Huh?" Guan Jiyu didn't understand what he meant.
The Golden Armor Leader looked even more disgusted, and said, "If your three companions were as important to you, you wouldn't hesitate for so long, you would just feel that it would be the same to catch any of them. But in fact, see for yourself, how long have you hesitated? There must be one person who is most important to you, for sure!"
Guan Jiyu was heartbroken by what he said for a while, and hurriedly raised his chin and pointed to one of the pieces of paper, and said, "I'll choose this, okay?"
She chose "No. Three", and the leader of the golden armor picked up the piece of paper, glanced at it, and said, "I hope No. 3 will bring you good luck."
The leader of the golden armor glanced at the people next to him, and one of them pulled the mechanism on the wall, and Guan Jiyu saw that the water level in the pool he was in was rapidly decreasing until all the sewage drained from the floor drain. Another man in gold armor quickly came over and opened the giant chains around her neck, as well as the chains on her hands and feet.
Guan Jiyu's whole body was sore and unbearable, the cold pool water was cold, if she didn't let her out, I was afraid that her bones would be soaked! She rubbed her wrist and said, "Can I go to room three?"
The leader of the golden armor stretched out his hand and asked, "Please—"
Guan Jiyu walked out of the door, only to know that this was really a dungeon, there was a dark and damp environment everywhere, and there was a narrow corridor outside, she hugged her arms, and her mouth "hissed" cold air, and under the leadership of the Jinjia people, she walked through this walkway, and arrived at a giant wooden frame, and the Jinjia people pulled the next mechanism, and the giant wooden frame they were standing on slowly sank down.
"Is this another level?" Guan Jiyu couldn't help but ask.
The gold-armored man who led her looked at her and really answered her, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Guan Jiyu shook his head and said, "No, it feels like hell, layer after layer."
The gold-armored man looked at her again, but this time he didn't speak. Guan Jiyu could see his eyes through the mask of this gold-armored man, and his eyes seemed to say: Is there a difference between you going here and going to hell?
Guan Jiyu couldn't help but shudder, the golden armor man took her to the door of a room, there was a piece of paper with "number three" written on the door, the golden armor man took out the key and opened the door, and said, "It's here, you go in."
She entered room three, and the gold-armored man behind her quickly locked the door again. This is not so much "Room 3" as "Prison No. 3". Guan Jiyu saw Jiang Yingnian who was tied to the cross frame inside at a glance, she ran over in two or three steps, shook her and said, "Yingnian, Jiang Yingnian!" Are you alright?"
Jiang Yingnian, like her, was wet all over, as if she had just been fished out of the water. No matter how she shook and shouted in his ear, Jiang Yingnian had no sign of waking up.
Outside, the voice of the Golden Armor Leader was heard, "How's it going? Have you finished reading room three?"
Guan Jiyu couldn't wake up Jiang Yingnian, he was anxious and angry, and roared angrily outside the door: "What's the hurry? It's not that you just look at what you are urging! What did you guys do to him? I can't shout no matter how much I shout
Wake up!"
There was no sound outside, Guan Jiyu ran over and slammed the door, but still no one responded. She ran to Jiang Yingnian's side again, trying to wake him up again.
"Jiang Yingnian, wake up quickly!" She reached out to probe his breath and pinched him a few times, but he didn't respond.
At this time, the sound of the key opening the door sounded, and the golden-armored man who had just led her over came in, and said expressionlessly, "You should go back."
Guan Jiyu followed the golden armor man in despair, turning back step by step, until he returned to the cell on the first floor where she was. The pool in the cell was already full of water, and Guan Jiyu knew it in his heart, so he silently walked into the water by himself.
Jiang Yingnian is in a deep coma, so it is estimated that the situation of the difference and the survival of Jing is similar. Guan Jiyu was in trouble in his heart, it was already difficult to escape from here, the three of them couldn't wake up for a long time, so they couldn't escape with three unconscious people......
After a while, the leader of the golden armor walked in, and he saw Guan Jiyu standing in the pool, and said in surprise, "You are quite conscious."
Guan Jiyu snorted coldly: "Even if I don't walk in by myself, you will use force to get me in, I might as well take the initiative."
The leader of the golden armor looked out of the door for a while, then turned around and said absentmindedly, "That's the truth."
Guan Jiyu didn't know what he was thinking, so he threw out the doubts in his heart: "Since you have captured us, you must have some purpose, right? What's the use of holding us up like this?"
The leader of the golden armor laughed at her question, and said, "What's the hurry? If Hades doesn't come to you, do you want to find Hades?"
He took out two more pieces of paper and said, "These are the two you didn't choose, don't you want them?"
Guan Jiyu looked at the pieces of paper with "No. 1" and "No. 2" written on them, and said, "You didn't give me a chance to choose, you only let me choose one, how can I say that I didn't choose?"
"That's the way the game works." The leader of the golden armor laughed and said, "I gave you all three, can you still call it "selection"?"
After that, in front of Guan Jiyu, he stacked two pieces of paper on top of each other and tore them apart little by little, and the pieces of paper flew in the air and fell on Guan Jiyu's head like snowflakes.
"If you don't want it, then throw it away."
His voice echoed throughout the cell like a ghost, and Guan Jiyu shivered again.
Guan Jiyu furrowed his brows and said, "What do you mean by that?"
The leader of the golden armor slowly picked up the helmet next to him and put it on himself, and his voice became unreal through the helmet:
"The show has just begun—"
