The Trial Game of Life

The more Tang Cuo walked forward, the more he felt that something was wrong. He felt like someone was spying on him, and even his soul felt a chill.

After coming to Eternal Night City for a long time, he could feel the existence of the "soul" more and more.He sometimes thinks that maybe this is because the physical body has died in this world, and only the soul enters the city of Eternal Night.

Closer to home, Tang Cuo was careful, but instead of looking around with great fanfare, he directly set off a signal flare.The signal flares turned into fireworks in the night sky, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Brother Tang, who are you reporting to? Is Boss Jin Cheng coming over at last?" Qian Wei's words revealed a hint of excitement.

"Wait." Tang Cuo didn't explain much, and continued to check the corpses of the living corpses scattered around, making it unclear what he was doing.

About ten minutes later, a crack in space suddenly appeared in front of the long street, and Leng Miao walked out from it.Dusty and dusty, his face was condensed.

"Found it?" Tang Cuo cut to the chase.

About two hours ago, Leng Miao left the Ruby Tavern and acted alone, but the two parties also agreed that if there was an emergency, they would contact each other with a signal flare.

"Area B, fortune teller Yanye, Jin Cheng and Rong Yi are both here." Leng Miao still cherishes words like gold.In fact, he had just arrived in Area B, so he didn't know the specific situation, only saw a big battle.

Her speech industry is hidden, and she can survive the joint attack of Jin Cheng and Rong Yi. As for her own appearance, it doesn't matter to Leng Miao.

He wanted to intervene, but then he saw the signal flare.Fortunately, the flare produced by 10086 is big enough and eye-catching, allowing him to see the gorgeous fireworks in the B area.

After receiving Jin Cheng's news by accident, Tang Cuo relaxed a little, but then said seriously: "I suspect that someone is spying on me secretly. You walk in the direction where the living corpse came, and we will act separately."

Leng Miao didn't ask any more questions, but nodded Kuku, and left.At this point, he is undoubtedly an excellent collaborator.

"Let's go." Tang Cuo led Qian Wei to the other side, and the two sides quickly separated, causing Scarlet who followed him to hesitate for a while.

"Did you say he noticed something?" Crimson asked.

"Maybe." Jiang He answered ambiguously.

Crimson doesn't care, anyway, no matter what Jiang He says now, she won't believe it all.She asked, but it was based on previous habits, besides, teasing Jiang He was also very interesting.

In the end, Crimson chose Leng Miao, she had to find the little girl first.

But after a while, Tang Cuo found that the feeling of being spied on gradually faded, and when he walked a certain distance, it disappeared completely.But Tang Cuo was still quite cautious. After walking another street, he led Qian Wei into a dark alley, entered the residential building next door through the small window in the alley, and left from the other side of the residential building.

Qian Wei followed him around, almost fainted, and when he got back to the main road, he scratched his head and didn't know where he was.

But Tang Cuo seems to have a map loaded in his mind, and he will move forward unswervingly when he finds a direction.Qian Wei looked at his stern profile and wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he shut up——

Misfortune comes from your mouth, Qian Wei, you must remember!

But within ten minutes after running out, Qian Wei was startled by a loud noise in the distance, "Damn it, what's going on over there!?"

Tang Cuo also frowned deeply.In order to completely get rid of the prying eyes, Tang Cuo took a long way around. Although he finally headed in the original direction, he still lost a lot of distance.And it was that direction that made the loud noise at this moment.

It is not known who fought whom.

Since you have chosen to wrap around your back, you have to maximize the advantages of wrapping around your back.Tang Cuo rushed to the scene with Qian Wei, but he didn't get too close, but chose a hiding place and got up.

This place is already located in the commercial street of District E. The center of the battle is the department store with a huge pictorial of the girls from the Republic of China, and the two opposing parties—Crimson and Leng Miao, are fighting above the department store.

Both of them have a skill - floating.

Leng Miao's floating in the air comes from his control over the space, and the crimson one is not clear.Tang Cuo hid on the roof of a massage and bathing center southwest of the department store, using a huge water tank to cover himself, looking around, a chaotic battle.

The department store is a gathering place for players. The battle between Crimson and Leng Miao has caused chaos here.In the department store and on the streets, there are players looking up everywhere, either in panic or righteous indignation or full of thoughts, it varies.

Soon, riots broke out inside the department store as well.

Leng Miao was no match for Crimson, he could hold her back temporarily, but he couldn't defeat her.Crimson resisted Leng Miao, and still had enough strength to attack the players below.

The living corpses reappeared, and their target was clear-someone in the department store.

that little girl!

Tang Cuo's face darkened, and his eyes flicked across the crowd again. He didn't see Wen Xiaoming, but he spotted Jiang He.In this way, it should be Crimson and Jiang He who followed him and watched him just now.

They were together.

And if Crimson and Jiang He are old acquaintances, according to the previous inference, 100% of the hidden phylactery is Jiang He.Crimson, Jianghe, little girl, and phylactery, these four words are combined together...

Just at this moment, Crimson's unique hoarse voice sounded in the air, "Jiang He, now is your time to choose, and I will give you one last chance."

As soon as this remark came out, the players were stunned.

"Jianghe?"

"Jianghe?!"

"Why does this have something to do with Jiang He again? Is it the Jiang He I thought of??"

"What kind of shocking melon is this damn..."

Amidst the commotion, Jiang He raised his head to look at the beautiful red figure with a serious expression.Crimson is forcing him to choose her or Zheng Yingying, this is a matter of choice.

He didn't answer, but Crimson said again: "If you turn around, I can forgive you for everything you did before."

The players looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to adapt to this sudden change in the style of romantic drama.And the players standing near the river finally found the male protagonist, but they didn't dare to ask anything, and didn't dare to move.

Jiang He's face became more and more serious, and he looked at the deep red eyes with complicated emotions, but there was no hesitation or struggle.

He turned and walked towards the department store.

"Jianghe!" Crimson laughed angrily, and a crimson ray descended from the sky, piercing Jianghe's Tianling cover.But in the next second, Jiang He's figure melted away, and the rays pierced through the Black Stone Street without leaving a drop of blood.

Crimson is still about to make a move, and Leng Miao's magic has arrived again.

How could Leng Miao tolerate Crimson's contempt over and over again, and being so distracted in a fight with him, Dr. Leng felt in his heart that it was impossible.

But at this moment, Crimson was invincible, and being so stimulated by Jiang He, she went berserk.

Countless crimson rays erupted at the same time, like flowers blooming suddenly, with the crimson as the center, striking the surrounding area indiscriminately.

This kind of attack was almost impossible to defend against, no matter how quickly Leng Miao dodged, he was still pierced by a ray through his shoulder, and immediately blood spilled into the sky.The players below were even more unable to compete, and there were many casualties.

No, it is more accurate to say that all of Crimson's attacks carry corpse poison, and she is a poisonous organism.All the dead players turned into living corpses, and the department store was sieved by the rays. As far as the eye could see, it was a miserable scene.

"My goddammit—" Qian Wei covered his mouth in fright, his eyes widened and he only dared to growl in his heart.

It's too scary, this woman is too scary, and what's even more terrifying, this kind of attack is not over yet, this is just the beginning.Those hands with bright red nail polish and that beautiful and charming red dress are about to become everyone's deepest nightmare.

She was still laughing, her voice hoarse and rough.

"Do you think I haven't made any progress after staying in prison this year?" After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and gently twirled a red silk thread in the void, just pulling it.

Leng Miao lowered his head in astonishment, and found that his hands and feet were wrapped in red thread at some point.

"All die." A sternness suddenly flashed in the crimson eyes, the red thread in his hand stretched straight, and in the next second, he threw Leng Miao and slammed into the department store building.

The more Leng Miao struggled, the tighter the red thread was bound, and he couldn't even use the big crack technique.

"Bang!" That black figure smashed through the roof and shattered all the floor tiles on the second floor, barely stopping the falling trend.

Leng Miao's body twitched, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing the ray attack again, a cloud of black mist shot out from the side to save him.

At the same time, at the edge of Area E near the central area, another flare was launched into the air.

Crimson seemed to have never heard of it, her pupils had turned crimson, and she no longer cared about Leng Miao, but walked step by step towards Zheng Yingying who appeared next to the escalator on the second floor.

"Tell me, where is the thing Jiang He gave you?"

Every word of Crimson is as heavy as a thousand pounds, hitting Zheng Yingying's heart hard, making her body, which was already injured by the siege of living corpses, faintly tend to be unable to support.

But she was in a good mood, because Jiang He finally chose her.

"Do you want to know?" she asked back.

Shen Hong snorted coldly, opened her fingers slightly, and was about to grab her, but Jiang He appeared in front of Zheng Yingying again, blocking her.The two faced each other, and a crack lay in the middle, and it tended to widen.

The entire department store is crumbling, but those who are still inside have no time to pay attention.

"Are you going to betray me again just because of her?" There was an uncontrollable killing intent in the deep red eyes.

"You still don't understand..." Jiang He clenched his fists, and in the middle of speaking, he was suddenly discouraged.Because it is useless to say anything, there is no need, this person in front of her will never understand, she will never admit——

A year ago, he didn't betray her.

But what does it matter who raised the butcher's knife to whom first?The important thing is now.

"Crimson, no matter what happened in the past, I have betrayed you now." Jiang He drew out his assassin scimitar, "If you want to kill her, kill me first."

Crimson: "Do you think I can't do it!?"

"No, you can do it, you can do it from the beginning to the end."

"Jiang He, you are forcing me."

Jiang He stopped answering.All that should be said has been said, and all that should be done has been done. The former Crimson would not look back for him, and the current Crimson will not.

Can only fight to the death.

Zheng Yingying who was standing behind him heard Jiang He's words, "I will stop her and let Leng Miao take you away. Remember what I said, go find Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo."

"No!" Zheng Yingying subconsciously reached out to grab him, but only grabbed a fleeting corner of his clothes.Jiang He took the initiative to fight, and the black mist, like rain and wind, covered everyone's sight in an instant, making the surroundings dark.

Among the black, there is still red flowing.Black and red are intertwined, beautiful and dangerous, making people unable to see clearly the situation inside, but the occasional wisp of wind overflowing from it can cut off the pillars of the department store.

Amidst the rumbling sound, broken stone slabs and bricks kept falling down, and the escalator broke from it.The ceiling was all collapsed, but no light came in.

"Let's go!" In the darkness, Leng Miao grabbed Zheng Yingying's hand and pulled her into the space crack. Obviously, he also got Jiang He's secret sound transmission.

But Zheng Yingying stabbed the back of his hand with a backhand, forcing Leng Miao to let go.She stumbled back from the crack and shouted in the direction of Crimson: "Didn't you want that card? Jiang He gave it to me, and only I know its whereabouts!"

There was a slight red light in the black mist, and in the next second, it swept towards Zheng Yingying.

Leng Miao looked at the little lunatic and wanted to kill her, but after thinking about the meaning of her words, he still resolutely shot.Jiang He was also blocking Crimson with him, but Jiang He's condition was very bad at this time, panting, messy hair, and a few blood holes on his body.

"Say." Crimson was also injured, but it was obviously better than the other two.

"You let us leave first, and I'll tell you later." Zheng Yingying stared at her, although her legs were trembling due to the oppression of the crimson aura, her eyes were still sharp.

This look in the eyes made Shen Hong very angry, and she couldn't help but think of the phrase "She is like you" that Jiang He said.

like what?

It's just a knockoff!

"I'm not negotiating terms with you." Crimson threw the red thread and wrapped it around the only pillar standing on the second floor. With a light pull, the pillar cracked and hit the three of them.

Jiang He quickly retreated to protect Zheng Yingying, but Zheng Yingying suddenly laughed. There was sarcasm, rivalry, and a hint of schadenfreude in that laugh.

"If you don't go after it, it will be too late."

Crimson frowned, "What do you mean?"

Zheng Yingying pushed Jiang He's hand away, walked in front of him without fear, and faced Crimson again, "I said——if you don't chase after him, it will be too late."

This time, Crimson finally understood what she meant, and suddenly changed face, "Who did you give the card to?!"

Zheng Yingying responded to her with a bloody smile, holding the handle of the Nameless Blade with her left hand, and slashed across the blade with her right hand, causing the sharp blade to cut through her palm, dripping with blood.She stroked so deeply that her joints turned white, and every word she spoke was filled with a deep murderous look.

"I curse you."

Crimson suddenly felt something was wrong, and wanted to stop it, but the oath was fulfilled.The power of the red curse rushed out from the dagger, condensed into a circular mysterious pattern in front of Zheng Yingying, and quickly hit the crimson.

Crimson retreated sharply, but still did not avoid it, and was thrown into a shop behind her.With a bang, the shop collapsed, splashing broken glass and dust.

"You, damn, die!" A mere curse pattern, of course, cannot defeat Crimson.The voice of resentment is like a poisonous snake around the ear, terrifying and frightening.

Zheng Yingying used a big move, her whole body shook, her face was as white as paper, but before the poisonous snake approached her, she reminded again——

"Cough, cough...don't you go after him?"

Both Leng Miao and Jiang He stared closely at the direction of the store, ready to fight.But Crimson retreated after all, she cast a vicious glance at the three of them, and disappeared at the cracked wall in an instant.

She didn't need to ask too much, because the phylactery was in the dungeon, and the key to get in and out of the dungeon was a card, so the person who got the card would only go to one place - the game hall in the central area!

At the same time, Tang Cuo was on his way to the game hall at full speed, even at the expense of exposing himself, going straight ahead without making any detours.Qian Wei couldn't keep up with his speed, so he parted ways with him.

The card was not in Tang Cuo's hands, but he saw Wen Xiaoming's flare.It was the signal flare that rose from the edge of Area E when Crimson entered the department store just now.

There are many types of signal flares produced by 10086. With fireworks as the message, there is a set of permutations and combinations that can convey different information.In Eternal Night City, which has no communication network, this is the most convenient method of sending messages.

Tang Cuo used one to notify Leng Miao, and Wen Xiaoming released another, and the signal it conveyed represented—the card.

Wen Xiaoming had been separated from Tang Cuo from the very beginning, and the information he got was limited, so he didn't know the specific function of that card.Zheng Yingying didn't know about it either, but Jiang He solemnly handed it to her and asked her to choose whether to hand it to Jin Cheng at the right time, which showed the difference of this card.

She was keenly aware that this card might be the key to victory.

So she handed the card to Wen Xiaoming, and she stayed to find a way to create chaos and delay time.

It only takes a second for Zheng Yingying to make a decision.

"Bang!" Another firework exploded in the sky.

The signal from Tang Cuo told Wen Xiaoming who was waiting to go to the game hall.

The message firework has a disadvantage, that is, it is easy to reveal its position, and there is also a risk of being cracked.But the situation was urgent, and Tang Cuo could no longer make careful arrangements, so he could only compete with Crimson for time.

There is only one card, as long as he can successfully get the card and enter the dungeon, the balance of victory will be tilted towards him.
