Nobody told me it's not a game

Chapter 192 The Messenger and Lu Zheng's Justice
The battle for the crown is held every [-] years. There are many changes in the mechanism, and only five people can pass the level at a time. There should not be many people who know the details.

However, the process of the championship battle can be seen by outsiders in the form of "live broadcast".

Lu Zheng was born in a big family in the 1024 community. Although he didn't know the "hidden path" Zuo Chang said, he still understood the ordinary mechanism.

He removed three torches from the wall and said, "You two, the fog in the corridor is not ordinary fog. Once we walk into it, we will immediately be trapped in a 'dreamland'. Dangerous."

Melville, the descendant of the witch, took the torch and said, "But as long as there is a torch and we are always under the light of the fire, we are safe."

Zuo Chang looked at them and felt relieved.

It's good that teammates aren't dumb asses who don't know anything.

Holding the torches, the three walked out of the room and into the corridor.

Lu Zheng and Zuo Chang were side by side, Lu Zheng turned his head and asked, "How is Zhen Gong recently?"

"Very good. I can eat and sleep, and I have already cultivated to the seventh realm."

Lu Zheng nodded, but there was no surprise: "Zhen Gong's talent is outstanding, even in 1024, she is outstanding. The seventh level is not difficult for her."

Zuo Chang turned to look at him and asked, "Only generals can participate in the battle for the crown. Your family's status in 1024 seems to be more respected than I imagined."

This time, Lu Zheng shook his hand.

He smiled and said: "It's also luck. It was not my turn. Among the qualified people, I was the only one who was in the seventh realm. Our 1024 General Qibao also took good care of me, so he urgently asked me to go back and gave it to me temporarily." identity."

The general of 1024 seems to be that poor Sakura, right?
This deer sign is really popular with women.

The two walked forward while talking.

As he walked, Melville felt something strange——

The corridor under your feet is not only one road, but has many forks.

At every fork in the road, the man named Zuo Chang couldn't help but say that he would either show the way by hand, or immediately choose a direction and lead him along the way.

Does he know the way?
"Two, two, I'm sorry to interrupt your pleasant conversation."

After Zuo Chang chose to turn left without hesitation again, Melville finally couldn't stand it anymore.

She stepped forward and looked at Zuo Chang: "Common people, do you know where we are going now?"

Zuo Chang nodded: "I know."

"You know? Are you sure you're not wandering around?"

"The path I chose is the most cost-effective path. If you have a better plan, you can propose it."

"……what!"

Zuo Chang's self-confidence was overflowing.

He was so righteous that Melville seemed unreasonable.

Her mind is empty, and her understanding of the battle for the crown is superficial. Of course, she doesn't know how to go is the "most cost-effective" way, and she doesn't know how to go to reach the second floor.

After pondering for a moment, she could only say: "You better be really sure."

The three continued to move forward, the surrounding fog gradually thinned, but there was a dead end in front of them.

Although it is a dead end, it is not empty.

A gray-white shrine is placed in the pane of the wall at the end, and two pale candles with green flames are lined up on the left and right of the shrine.

"This is...'Master Gouzhi'?"

Lu Zheng looked at the severed finger enshrined in the shrine, and told its true face.

Melville had obviously heard about Mr. Gouzhi, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Zuo Chang's mood was stable. He nodded and said, "This is Mr. Gouzhi. The battle for the crown is a strong confrontation mode. There are two ways to get to the second floor. One is to find the hidden entrance, and the other requires killing— —When the 'number of players' in the first floor drops to a certain level, the survivors will automatically enter the second floor."

"The hook finger shrine is designed for killing."

Now, Zuo Chang and others can make a wish to the shrine and obtain a new identity "Hook Finger Apostle".

The hook finger apostle can freely shuttle in the fog, and can sense the positions of all other players within a certain range around him.With the protection of these two privileges, hunting is naturally handy.

Melville was clearly agitated.

She looked at Zuo Chang and asked, "Zuo—cough cough. Common people, I heard that if our actions are approved by Master Guzhi, we can get a 'crown title', right?"

Zuo Chang shook his head: "Strictly speaking, no."

"no?"

"As long as you become an apostle of Gouzhi, you will definitely be able to get a crown title, but there are advantages and disadvantages. If you can get the affirmation of Lord Gouzhi, the title will be better."

Ah this.

Unheard of details.

Melville looked at Zuo Chang and said, "You seem... very good at it?"

Zuo Chang pretended to be a master without talking.

He cut his finger and smeared the blood on the shrine. The next moment, the gray-white shrine glowed slightly and then disappeared.

On Zuo Chang's forehead, a bright red mark appeared for no reason——

At this moment, he is already the emissary of the hook.

Melville followed suit and smeared his own blood.

The slight difference from Zuo Chang is that her mark does not appear on her forehead, but on her collarbone.

The snow-white skin and the bright red marks complement each other nicely.

It's Lu Zheng's turn...

Lu Zheng didn't do anything.

He frowned and asked, "Zuo Chang, is the mission of Gouzhi apostle to eliminate other participants?"

Zuo Chang looked at him: "It's not elimination, it's killing. Those who die in the battle for the crown will lose their lives."

How does this make it!

Lu Zheng shook his head slowly, and said: "This is too cruel! We are all here for the crown, and we are competitors. We should distinguish between brains, skills and courage, and should not be achieved by killing! The crown 'Brave'—how can there be a brave man who kills like hemp?"

Zuo Chang felt that there was no problem: "Since you are here for the crown, you should have the awareness that you will be benevolent if you don't succeed. Killing is part of the battle for the crown, so don't play if you are unhappy."

Lu Zheng frowned, still feeling inappropriate.

As an adventurer, he will not be unable to fight back.he just felt...

It is not the act of a righteous person to rashly take the life of the other party when the other party has no intention of infringing and no obvious evil deeds.

Zuo Chang said: "The advantage of the Gouzhi apostle is that it is not affected by the fog and can sense the position of others; its disadvantage is that life is highly bound to the Gouzhi shrine. If the shrine in front of us is smashed, as an apostle We will also die. Among the three of us, one or two should have been left to protect the shrine..."

He looked at Lu Zheng.

"Lu Zheng, if you don't want to do anything, then stay and defend the shrine. Put your blood on the shrine, and I will go hunting with this Melville, and you will have a share of the reward in the end."

Lu Zheng still shook his head: "I didn't make any effort, so I'm not eligible for rewards. Go ahead, I'll help you guard the shrine."

Does Lu Zheng really not understand or is he just pretending to be stupid?
resignedly.

Zuo Chang could only try to make his words clearer. He spread his hands and said, "You can only share weal and woe with us if you become the apostle of hook fingers. Do you understand? I asked you to smear the blood, not to share your reward in vain. The main reason is that if you wait for me to leave and smash the shrine, then I will just disappear?"

"..."

"..."

Both Lu Zheng and Melville looked at Zuo Chang with the eyes of cockroaches.

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Okay!"

He cut his finger and smeared blood on the shrine.
