"It's not the first time you've participated in the ceremony, so I won't dwell on something too basic......

Merlin's expression was a little more serious: "Many of you are participating in the ceremony of the construction of Wei Zhe for the first time. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, I would like to introduce a little bit about the venue and victory rules of this ceremony.

"All of you will be in the overlapping sevenfold dream realm - it should have been ninefold, which is a pity.

"From the first to the seventh floor, everyone randomly appeared on one of the floors. The higher the number, the easier it is for the dream to contradict reality and common sense, and the easier it is to see through it. Layer 0 has no errors.

"To die from a high-level dream in any way is to fall one level. When the ritual countdown ends, stop at Level 0 - that is, the Reality Layer, and win. Stopping at any floor except the zero floor counts as indulging in a dream, and counts as a failure to advance.

"If more than six people stay on Floor Zero at the end, the one with the shortest stay will be eliminated until the remaining six people remain.

"If you die again at Level 0, the 'Reality Layer', you will also fall to the negative layer.

"There is only one true way to die in this ritual, and that is to fall to the negative layer. That is considered to be [real death], and the price of death must be borne. ”

Speaking of this, Merlin paused slightly and smiled meaninglessly: "The above - these are the original rules of this ritual.

"The added bonus rule is that I will enter the body of any person in any dream realm at any time, play that role, and mislead you. The goal is to keep them from staying on the ground zero.

"But I'm not going to snatch characters you've already manipulated, and I'm not going to appear in two layers of dreams at the same time. And as long as I am identified and killed by you on a certain level, I will not reappear from this level a second time. I won't run away after being recognized, unless the higher level of the ascendant happens to die and falls inside me and squeezes me out. ”

"The rules are simple, right? Your purpose is to find and stop at Level Zero, and my purpose is not to convince you that it is Level Zero......

"If that's all right, we're ready to go."

With that, he slowly fluctuated from his seat and disappeared like a wave.

And the statue of the old man in the middle slowly spoke, making a sound of vicissitudes, announcing the rules of this ceremony according to the process:

[The time limit for this ceremony is two hours, and the ratio to reality is one to one]

[You will play a role in the field, complete your own mission, and you will get corresponding points for each corresponding goal you complete]

[Because this ceremony is an absent ceremony, all of your previous rejection categories are invalid]

[This ceremony allows each other to kill each other, and no points are deducted]

[Because this ceremony is a full moon ceremony, cooperation is allowed but cooperation points are not counted]

[The difficulty of this ritual is "Challenge", and real death during the ritual will cause weakness in reality for thirty days, and the level will regress by one level, and there is a very small probability that it may lead to soul damage]

[The dream of this ceremony is constructed by the 'Wise One' Wei Zhe, and the tasks and role arrangements, plus and deduct points are all in charge of the 'Orderly' Sand Timepiece, and I am only responsible for trying my best to maintain the fairness of the ceremony——]

The old man paused slightly, raised his staff, and uttered a final reading:

[In 1839, in a hotel in a small town in Avalon, seven travelers took refuge from a storm......]

As the staff glowed violently, Ivus suddenly felt a strong dizziness.

The world in front of him was motionless, but the seven people sitting in the chair disappeared like waves.

When he woke up again, he found himself parked at the door of the hotel lobby.

Behind him, the rain howled, and the wind blew the windows and made a crashing sound. It's like a gangster is knocking on the window violently outside, which makes people frightened.

And Ivas was covered with rain. He was carrying a large black umbrella, but it was almost useless under the roaring storm behind him.

He was holding a girl of seven or eight years old in his arms, wearing a leather coat backwards - the back was worn on the chest, and the buttoned side was behind the back. Cover the girl with clothes.

Eivas's hair was already wet, and the rain was dripping down his chin. His face and neck were already cold.

His back was also completely wet from the rainstorm...... However, the girl in front of her was only slightly wet with her hair, and her body was still warm.

- Not true.

Through the experience of caring for Yulia, Ivus immediately judged that the girl's body temperature was not just "warm".

…… She had a fever.

When he realized this, an old man's solemn voice sounded in Aihuas's head:

"You are Agni Shiva, a teacher. Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-four years old.

"On a rare holiday, your daughter Daiya is clamoring to go to the countryside of Muwan County. You thought you hadn't been with her for a long time, so you agreed.

"But you've only been playing for half a day, and Daya says she's not feeling well. You realize that she may have a fever and think about taking her to the doctor or simply to a priest for treatment.

"But it's so remote that there are no doctors or pastors. Not only that, but a sudden storm has trapped you here. There is no doubt that Daya's body is no longer enough to support you in the rain.

"Luckily, you suddenly found an inn. Maybe you can find the medicine in it, you think. At least shelter from the rain ......"

The next moment, a few lines popped up in front of Aihuas's eyes.

[Necessary Mission——]

【Back to Reality (Points: 100)】

【Extra Quest——】

The words seemed to be imprinted in Aihuas's eyes. When he finished reading, it slowly faded and dissipated on its own.

He didn't have time to analyze - now he was drenched all over his body, and he was unusually uncomfortable.

Find a room and change your clothes first.

"-Anyone!"

Ivas hugged the girl in his arms, who was not in good spirits, and opened his mouth to shout, "Is anyone there?" ”

The hall of the somewhat dilapidated inn was empty, except for a young receptionist.

He looked very thin. Dressed in thin clothes, his hands folded in front of him, lying on the table and napping.

He was awakened by the voice of Ivus, and when he looked up, he saw a man of such height standing in the doorway.

Just then, a bolt of lightning fell outside the door—illuminating the tall man in the doorway in an instant.

The guy at the front desk was startled. Only then did he see a girl in the man's arms.

Without waiting for him to ask, the man leaned over and asked urgently, "Is there a room?" It's better to have hot water – and, medicine? My daughter has a fever! ”

“…… Sorry, there is no medicine and no hot water. Fresh towels though...... There can also be a hot dinner if you want. ”

The little brother at the front desk smiled bitterly, picked up the registration list, and said casually: "You want to spend the night here." Clean room with dinner for two, a total of four red coins and three copper coins. What is your name? ”

"So expensive? Do you have anyone living here? ”

The man complained like this, but still opened his wallet. Because the wallet was stuffed on his chest, he didn't get wet from the rain.

"Is this still expensive? Muwan's better hotels now cost five red coins a night...... Why don't I borrow you a clean set of clothes? ”

But the guy at the front desk was talking and talking, and he was suddenly stunned for a moment with the man.

- I saw that in the wallet, there was a bundle full of twenty brand-new white crown coins. It was still tied with a thin seal of wire, apparently freshly taken out and unused. In addition to this, there are a few red coins that are slightly crumpled, a few copper coins, and a few brass-colored coins.

The front desk brother frowned suddenly, and he looked up at the man. But nothing was said.

"Agni. Just remember the name. ”

The man said casually, and pointed out five red coins: "The rest is your tip." ”

With that, the man withdrew the wallet to his chest.

"Room 202." The front desk said this and handed over the key.

"I'll put the umbrella here for you first."

The man picked up the key, picked up his spirited daughter and hurried up to the second floor.

The front desk kept staring at his back, thoughtfully.

With his back to him, Ivus narrowed his eyes slightly.

202 Rooms...... Am I the second to arrive?

Meow ...... update is complete
