Chapter 102: The Human Heart is Ghostly

Li Xiao gritted his teeth and flew towards the building boat.

When he wanted to enter the ship,

But it was blocked by an invisible shield.

Li Xiao snorted coldly and slammed into the shield.

Listen only to the soft sound of the waves,

He landed on top of the ship.

When you go up to the ship, the scenery changes.

The original dilapidated hull has been transformed into a luxurious decoration.

The lifeless looking ships suddenly became lively.

Brilliant lights, bustling crowds.

Of course, these people are all strange and weird.

There are all kinds of styles of these weirdness, the east and west continents, the north and south seas.

Apparently this is an international ferry.

After getting on the boat, there is a prompt,

Hidden Mission: Stay Alive.

The task is very simple, it is to survive here.

But the more this seemingly simple task, the less simple it is.

Because those complex tasks can also rely on tricks and other means to clear the level.

And this kind of task can only rely on hard power.

If the strength is not enough, it will naturally not be completed.

And there is no time limit for this task,

In fact, this is the deadliest thing.

Usually in the past, there would be a time for this kind of survival mission,

Like spending one night in a room, staying one day in a hotel, etc.

But there is no time for this task.

That is, it is necessary to live all the time.

Until, death.

Therefore, the system will prompt before coming down, and if you force in, you will not be able to leave, so that the player will think twice.

However, Li Xiao was already mentally prepared, so naturally he wouldn't care about this.

His sudden appearance had already attracted attention at this time.

A few crew members who looked like the necromantic ones in Pirates of the Caribbean immediately gathered around.

A tall crew member said angrily,

"Who's on duty down there? Why did you let this lowly living slave run up? ”

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, and the word living slave allowed him to get some information from it.

He said secretly, "These weirdness, are they capturing living people as slaves?" ”

Actually, this is not surprising,

When he was in the murderous hotel, he saw a strange boss who held the living as a pet.

At that time, the clown was also ridiculed for how he could be driven by the living.

Obviously, these weird people have the habit of keeping people in captivity.

After the one-star weird boss completely arrived, some small cities lost contact completely.

I'm afraid these places are not just as simple as being destroyed,

I'm afraid that many humans have been kept in captivity as slaves and livestock by the weird bosses.

Because of the inconvenience of message transmission, almost no one is aware of this problem yet.

Li Xiao was thinking about this,

The tall, strange crew grabbed him.

Li Xiao dodged, a strange light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't get mad.

He wanted to control the ship, not just to catch the weird.

So it must be clear about the situation on the ship first.

So he said, "I'm just lost, take me back......"

The weirdness was glared at by him, and he trembled, so he didn't dare to start, but his mouth was hard,

"Less verbose, damn living slave, go ......"

A few strange crew members escorted him and headed for the bottom of the ship.

At this time, some passengers looked at it curiously.

Among these passengers, there are some two-star boss-level weirdness.

Obviously, if he had used the ticket, he would have become one of those passengers and would have taken the boat to different destinations.

Just then, a voice said, "Wait......

The crew looked,

I saw a few strange paper figures with heavy makeup and bright makeup walking over carrying a gorgeous sedan chair.

When the crew saw the sedan chair, they hurriedly saluted, "Black lady......"

An ethereal voice came from the sedan chair, "Is this living slave a mark?" ”

The leading crew stepped forward and pulled up Li Xiao's sleeves.

Li Xiao didn't resist this time, because in his induction, the woman in the sedan chair was at least three stars.

It's not that he's afraid, but he doesn't want to expose it now and startle the snake.

The crew lifted Li Xiao's sleeves, and when they saw that there was no mark, they said flatteringly,

"Lady Hei, this living slave has no mark......"

Mrs. Hei said, "Very good, I think he is very good, in the next gladiatorial event, let him represent me......"

As he spoke, a little mark flew out of the sedan chair.

Li Xiao's expression froze, but then he relaxed his expression and let the mark fall on his hand.

Because he sensed that the mark was not a terrible curse, it was just a mark.

It's a black mark that looks like a spider.

With some of that black lady's breath.

This mark can be erased at any time if he wants,

So let it fall into the hands.

The lead crew member said, "You are lucky, with this mark, you can represent Madame Black in this gladiatorial competition, if you perform well and are favored by Madame, you can become Madame's person, and then you can follow Madame......"

The various gladiators on the ship, or belong to the ferry,

So that black spider mark is just a simple mark,

It is not a curse of control and enslavement.

Li Xiao didn't say anything, he had already roughly guessed the situation of the ship.

This ship, in addition to being a ferry,

It's also a moving arena.

When a slave is branded, it means that he will fight for the owner of the mark.

And as long as you win the gladiatorial battle, you can leave the ferry with the new owner.

He said in his heart, "Winning this gladiatorial event, it seems that this is one of the ways to get off the ship, but the difficulty of this is probably more difficult than challenging the average two-star boss, and even if you win, you will become a stronger and weirder slave, and follow it to a more dangerous ghost, so it is indeed not a wise choice to forcibly board the ship......

Before he forcibly boarded the ship, the system gave a dangerous hint,

But he's not in a hurry,

danger, that's for the average player,

He has so many hole cards in his hand, even if it is really dangerous, he can just run back to the world of cultivating immortals.

Li Xiao quietly followed the crew to the bottom of the ship.

The bottom of the building ship was dark and damp, and in the dark cells with iron bars, there was a whirring sound, like a fierce beast being locked up.

Suddenly, a huge monster rushed out of the dark cell and lay on the railing, roaring wildly.

That monster is very powerful, at least two stars.

But it was locked in by a railing that didn't seem to be very strong.

One of the crew members took out a whip, whipped it hard, and scolded, "What's the call, go back, or don't want to eat......"

The monster was whipped and shrunk back.

Li Xiao deliberately walked slowly, releasing his divine sense to sense the situation in these cells.

These cells apparently have a strong isolation and detention effect.

With his powerful divine sense at this time, he could only vaguely sense the situation inside.

It's really full of all kinds of weird monsters.

Therefore, between the weird, it was originally the law of the jungle, and there was no unity at all.

Li Xiao was taken to the door of a cell,

The crew opened the cell and pushed him inside.

Li Xiao glanced back at him,

The crew shuddered, as if they had been targeted by some terrifying predator.

But this feeling is only for a moment,

He reacted, annoyed and angry, "Look at what to see, treat me honestly......"

Li Xiao smiled slightly and walked into the cell.

The cell door slammed shut.

Li Xiao looked into the depths of the dark cell,

I saw that there were still a dozen or so men and women alive in it.

These living people had faces in all directions, and they all sat numbly against the walls of their cells.

A burly man got up and greeted Li Xiao rarely, "Are you new here?" Come and sit here......"

Li Xiao smiled slightly, walked to the wall and sat down, "Sort of...... Can you tell me a little bit about it? ”

The big man was surprised, "Don't you know what this place is?" ”

Li Xiao said, "I only know that this is a ferry, and as for the rest, I don't know, so can you tell me about it?" ”

Dahan said, "Well, in fact, I don't know much......

So he told Li Xiao what he knew.

According to him, his name was Andrei, and he was a native of a city on the part of the Rus' country called Binko.

Binko City was destroyed by several bosses who came out of the ghost snake a few months ago.

Some of their survivors strayed into a ghost on the way to escape,

Then, they were taken prisoner and became living slaves.

During this time, most of them died,

Only he survived,

Later, after tossing and turning, he was sold to this strange cruise ship.

Just like Li Xiao guessed,

This ferry boat can not only take people to all kinds of hidden ghosts,

Or a cruise ship.

The biggest item above is the gladiatorial fighting between various slaves.

These slaves were collected from all over the strange cruise ship,

There are not only living players, but also all kinds of chaotic monsters.

After they were captured, the purpose was naturally to engage in gladiatorial activities to please the dignitaries who boarded the ship.

"If you want to survive here, you have to keep winning the game, and there were originally more than a hundred people in our living cell, and now there are only a few of us left...... Moreover, some people have been transformed into monsters and continue to fight to please those VIPs......"

It's no wonder that the rest of the people look numb and appointed.

It's really brutal here.

It's not just that being alive is a luxury, but death is sometimes a luxury.

Many of the monsters in the other cells were made from living people.

Li Xiao's heart did not fluctuate.

Because he has long seen through the nature of this world,

When human beings were strong, there were also beast arenas.

Whether it's the world of cultivating immortals or this world,

Weakness is original sin,

This is his realization.

That's why he has to keep getting stronger,

In order not to be a pawn and gladiator of some people.

"I've heard that if you want to get out of here, you have to behave well when you play, and then you have to be spotted by a VIP and get off the boat after winning the game...... Hey, it's a pity that no one looked down on me for so long. ”

Li Xiao said speechlessly, "Being favored by those VIPs, it's not like being taken as a slave by those weird ghosts, what's the joy of this." ”

Someone interjected, "Hmph, what do you know, if you are favored by those powerful VIPs, even if you are a slave, you will definitely be treated much better than ordinary people, and you will have the opportunity to obtain real weird power and become a real weird clan......"

Li Xiao was surprised, "Weird clan? Do you want to be weird? ”

The man said a little frantically, "Why not? The real weird race can retain the original memory, what's good about human beings, in this era, becoming a weird race is the real way out......"

None of the others refuted,

Apparently thinking that what he said was not wrong.

Although Li Xiao didn't agree, he didn't want to refute it.

It's not surprising that people have their own aspirations, and these people have gone through terrible experiences that no one else has.

Survival is always a human instinct.

What he cared about was hearing a new message, that is, the real weird power and weird people.

After the living people he had seen before were turned into strange things,

will lose their original memories and sanity.

This kind of weirdness has nothing to do with the original person, but more like a new creature bred on it.

This is like those zombies cultivated by the Corpse Refining Sect of the Immortal Cultivation World,

After the zombie was bred, it had nothing to do with the original person.

It's just something new.

And now this person said that as long as he can be favored by the guests, he may become a strange clan with his original memories and sanity.

Li Xiao asked another question, "But if it becomes weird, even if you keep your original memory and sanity, you can only be other weird slaves, saying that you may not be driven to kill your former human compatriots, so you are willing?" ”

The man sneered, "Why don't you want to, we sympathize with other people, who will sympathize with us?" Isn't it just killing, before weirdness, didn't humans have been killing each other? It is best if the human race is extinct, and everyone becomes weird, which is the future of this world......"

Li Xiao said, "Understood......"

This kind of guy who is already ready to commit adultery has really become a strange slave, and I am afraid that killing people is more ruthless than really weird.

There are many examples of those two devils in history who kill their own people more ruthlessly than real devils.

He didn't bother to say anything, he could only say that everyone has their own ambitions.

At this time, Andrei saw the black spider logo on his hand.

This sign emits a faint eerie glow, and at first glance it is not an ordinary tattoo.

He exclaimed, "You've been chosen by a VIP?" Became His representative? ”

Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at it with envy.

Li Xiao shrugged, "What's there to envy about this, a slave sign." ”

Andre muttered, "This is a chance to get off the ship, I've been here for so long, and I haven't been favored by VIPs......"

Suddenly, a resentful voice said, "Why, why did you come to be favored by VIPs?" What qualifications do you have to be seen as soon as you come? ”

Li Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to these guys who were already psychologically distorted.

But the guy said madly, "I have won so many gladiatorial battles with all my hard work, but I haven't been favored, why are you favored?" Are you better than all of us? Killing you, will it prove that the VIP's vision is wrong, and I am the best choice for the VIP......"

His words apparently provoked others to think differently as well.

Many people looked at Li Xiao with ill will.

The man had two more scimitars in his hand,

His body exuded an aura that did not belong to a human being, and he rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

Andrei's face changed, "Be careful...... Uh......"

He hadn't finished his reminder yet,

I saw Li Xiao raise his hand and bend his fingers,

Bang,

The man flew upside down, hanging on the wall and slowly sliding down.

Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect him to be so strong.

Li Xiao walked along,

The people around them retreated vigilantly.

He came up to the man and touched his chin, "You're all demon envoys, aren't you?" Or rather, you used to be a demon envoy, and now your companions are almost one with you, and it's a wonderful state......"

As he spoke, he grabbed the man, and pulled him away.

And he tore out the man's spirit.

I saw that above the man's soul, there was an almost overlapping shadow.

And this is the man's companion spirit.

The reason why he didn't shoot this person to death with a finger just now was to study this person's state.

Ordinary ghost envoys, after forming a symbiotic relationship with the companion spirit, share the ability and vitality of the companion spirit.

But in fact, the two are still independent.

And now this guy's spirit is almost completely fused with the companion spirit.

This fusion gave him a weird power in his body.

Of course, the downside is that it will cause confusion.

That's how this guy is a little crazy.

Li Xiao studied it for a while, and casually threw this person's soul into the Soul Devouring Banner.

Then he grabbed a woman with a casual grab.

The woman cried out in horror, "Let go of me, help......"

Li Xiao ignored it, stretched out his hand, and pulled out his soul again.

This woman just exuded no less malice towards him than the man just now,

After the man rushed up, the woman actually wanted to rush up and snatch the spot of the so-called VIPs.

But the man was bounced back with a finger,

She was startled and ducked to the side.

Li Xiao sensed the strong malice, so he naturally arrested it and turned it into a research object.

This woman is also fused with the companion spirit,

In this state, in fact, they can already be called semi-weird.

When the others saw him so ferocious, they all shrank into a corner and watched in horror.

Andrei said in a trembling voice, "You, who are you?" ”

Li Xiao clapped his hands, "Living people, originally I wanted to try to see if I could take you out of this ship, but you don't seem to want to leave, and you prefer to be weird ......."

Andrei was overjoyed, "You, can you take us away?" We are willing to leave, if we can, who would want to be a weird ......"

Everyone else nodded yes.

Li Xiao glanced at everyone,

Among these people, Andre didn't have any ill will towards him just now, so he really didn't care about the lives of these people.

He said to Andre, "I was going to take over the ship, but now it seems a bit tricky, and there are several powerful guys among those VIPs......"

If there is only one three-star weird, he can still deal with it,

But he sensed several three-star weirdness among those VIPs,

If this fights, he can only run away.

Andre and the others were all stunned.

"You said you were going to take over the ship?" Andrei had some suspicions that he had misheard.

Someone was surprised, "Are you the sword of the East Zhang Shichao?" ”

They saw Li Xiao with an oriental face, and he was so powerful,

Naturally, I thought of Zhang Shichao, who is known as the most powerful ghost envoy in the East.

Li Xiao said, "It's not ......"

The surprised crowd looked disappointed again.

But after thinking about it, I'm afraid that Zhang Shichao and Hawke came together, and they couldn't get out of this ship, let alone take over this ship.

So what exactly are they expecting.

Li Xiao didn't bother to explain, and asked, "This ship should belong to the three-star ghost, right?" ”

Andre recalled, "This ship is indeed a three-star ghost, not long ago the weirdos held a grand banquet, I heard that it was to celebrate the captain's promotion to three-star, and at that time we also got a lot of delicious food and drink ......"

He said frustratedly, "So it's impossible to get out by challenging the captain to complete the mission, hey......"

Li Xiao wondered, "There is still a task to challenge the captain?" Why didn't I get it? ”

Andrei explained, "Participate in a gladiatorial battle to receive this hidden mission, the task requirement is to win all the difficult matches to get the final victory, and the final victory in the gladiatorial event is to challenge the captain ......"

Li Xiao's eyes lit up, "There is actually such a task, since there is a task, there must be rules, the rules of gladiatorial challenges, is it that VIPs can't interfere and participate?" ”

Andre said, "Of course, the VIPs can only choose the gladiators they like to fight, no matter whether they win or lose, they can't end up, those VIPs watch the gladiators, but they will also bet on something, if there are no rules and restrictions, some VIPs are anxious to lose, I'm afraid they haven't ......dismantled the ship a long time ago."

Li Xiao pondered.

This ferry has apparently been around for a long time,

And the three-star ghost snake appeared not long ago,

So this ship must have been only two stars before.

And now the promotion to three stars is successful, but the captain is definitely only equivalent to three stars in the early days of Jindan,

It can't be the kind of veteran three-star boss equivalent to the late Jindan period.

In this way, he can indeed challenge the captain by winning gladiatorial matches and finally challenging the captain.

As long as those VIPs don't make a move,

He was still somewhat sure that he would be able to take the captain down.

As long as the captain is taken, it is natural to take over the ship.

After Li Xiao thought about it, he smiled, "Very good, gladiatorial activities, when will it start?" I can't wait. ”

Andre said, "The gladiatorial event will be held once every voyage, and this event should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." ”

When everyone thought of the gladiatorial competition that was coming, their faces were gloomy,

Because no one knows how many gladiatorial matches they will survive.

Li Xiao asked, "What kind of form are gladiatorial activities usually carried out?" ”

Andre said, "It's usually a team form, that is, we live people team up to fight with other weird monsters, and then there will be a separately designated 1V1 match, of course, if the VIP has any special requirements, there will be temporary additions." ”

Li Xiao said, "If you want to challenge the captain, do you have to win the game according to the rules all the way?" ”

Andrei said, "Yes......"

Li Xiao smashed his mouth and said, "Okay, then I'll make it clear to you, I'm here to challenge the captain this time, so I'll win the game all the way according to the rules."

So, if it's a team match, you can find a corner and hide and leave everything to me, but if there's a special match where we meet each other, I won't show mercy, so don't blame me for being ruthless......"

Everyone hurriedly expressed their understanding.

They've seen it,

This is a powerful thigh,

If you can hold this thigh tightly, not to mention the luxury of being able to leave and be free, the hope of being able to save your life in gladiatorial activities will definitely increase greatly.

A tall, thin man stood up and shouted,

"From now on, you are our boss, we listen to you in everything, if someone is really unlucky and is designated to PK with the boss, then you will definitely only blame yourself for being unlucky, and you will never dare to blame the boss, so boss, you can rest assured and bold to do it......"

The crowd reacted and began to show their loyalty.
