The Trial Game of Life

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

The bald man spoke, but no one answered.All the players kept their indifferent faces. For the first time, they experienced the feeling of playing a dungeon with a strategy, as if all players had opened the perspective of God.

And the bald man uttered this sentence, which proved even more that Jin Cheng didn't lie to them.

At this time, the red hydrangea is in the hands of a certain player.The big man glanced at him, blindfolded, and raised the drumstick, "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The hydrangea is passed.Every NPC is the best player. They are fully absorbed in the game, and as soon as they get the hydrangea, they can't wait to pass it down. They are both excited and nervous.

Amidst the sound of the drums, the speed of passing the ball was only fast but not slow, and many NPCs screamed excitedly.The shouts echoed in the empty factory building, creating a tense atmosphere with the beat of the drums.

Soon, the red hydrangea was passed to Jin Cheng.

The note was refreshed only after the drumming stopped, but Jin Cheng checked it carefully, seeing is believing.According to the rules of the game, the hydrangea must not stay in each person's hands for more than five seconds, and must be passed to the next person without intervals, so even though he wanted to pass it directly to Tang Cuo, he had to give up.

Tang Cuo kept staring at the big man beating the drum, observed his every movement, and listened carefully to every beat of his drum.Because the Raiders said that the sound of drums is regular.

During the drumming process, the drummer will have continuous double hammers hitting the left and right drum edges.This kind of action will appear four times in total, no matter whether he beats fast or slow, and what the melody is, as long as this action occurs for the fourth time, the drumbeat will stop.

This is the hint to the player.

The red hydrangea must not stay in the hands of each player for five seconds, and these five seconds are the key.

Tang Cuo waited until the third side drum appeared, and said loudly: "All players, start with me and sort them from left to right. I am No. [-], and No. [-] in red, do you understand?"

Although the players didn't know what the intention was, they were intimidated by Jin Cheng's prestige, and they all wanted to hug their thighs, so they all nodded cooperatively.

Tang Cuo continued: "Now, listen to my password."

At this time, the red hydrangea just passed to Tang Cuo. He deliberately held the hydrangea for three or four seconds, and did not pass it to the next person until five seconds had elapsed.

Number Two was five people away from him.

The drums kept beating, Tang Cuo listened carefully with his ears upright, and followed the red hydrangea with his eyes, watching it pass to the number two hand, "Number two, stay for five seconds before passing it on."

No. [-] quickly nodded, held the red hydrangea ball and counted silently for five seconds. Just as he was about to pass it on, he found that the hydrangea ball had already arrived in the hands of the next person—the system is really tough and won’t leave you a second.

"Number Three, continue."

"Number Four, continue."

Under Tang Cuo's commands, the players became nervous for no reason, and many of them secretly glanced at Jin Cheng.Jin Cheng just watched intently, but at this moment, the sound of the drum suddenly accelerated.

"No. [-], hurry up!" Tang Cuo immediately changed his instructions.

No. [-] was shocked, and threw the hydrangea aside as soon as it touched it, as if throwing a hot potato.

Tang Cuo's eyes were sharp, watching the hydrangea pass quickly, and there were five people between No. [-] and No. [-].The average speed of each NPC to pass the hydrangea is about two seconds, and No. [-] and No. [-] are connected together. He originally wanted to control the speed of passing the hydrangea and let No. [-] or No. [-] get it. Seconds are enough.

But the sound of the drum suddenly accelerated, so he had to be fast too, and at this moment, the continuous beating of the side drum followed closely.

At this time, the red hydrangea had passed to a position two people away from No. [-], Tang Cuo raised his eyes to look at Jin Cheng.Jin Cheng understood, a silver light flashed in his hand, and the mechanical bow was fully drawn.

"Hoo--" When the drums were about to stop, Jin Cheng's arrow hit the NPC next to No. [-], and the huge explosive force directly shot him to the ground.And the red hydrangea that was supposed to be passed to him just fell through.

"Pick it up." Tang Cuo said decisively.

Number Six regained consciousness belatedly, and almost jumped off the chair like an electric shock, jumped to the side and picked up the hydrangea.He hugged the hydrangea tightly in his arms when he picked up the hydrangea, and looked at Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo in surprise—how could he be the first to get the ball?

At this time, the bald man took off the red cloth blindfolded and turned around, "Are you choosing a talent show, or answering questions?"

Jin Cheng put away his bow and arrow, "Answer the question."

Number six was so nervous that he turned into a repeater: "Answer the question."

The bald man glanced at Jin Cheng, but he didn't say that he violated the rules. He cleared his throat, and he began to read the topic——

"The majestic ancient temple is in the clouds, and I don't know how many monks there are in the temple.

360 four bowls, see if they are all exhausted.

Three people share a bowl, and four people share a bowl of soup.

I would like to ask, sir, who knows how many monks there are in the temple? "

No. [-] is completely stunned, what is this?Isn't your ghostly company engaged in team building?Is this a fucking language problem or a math problem?

The rest of the players also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Jin Cheng said again: "620 four."

Repeater No. 620: "Uh, [-] four."

The bald man: "The answer is correct."

The NPCs cheered and applauded like thunder.

The players were also shocked. As expected of the boss, when they can only add, subtract, multiply, and divide mentally within [-], they came up with the answer so quickly.

Jin Cheng responded with an inscrutable smile.

Tang Cuo didn't bother to tell everyone, it was just because he had the answer - he cheated.

But unfortunately, there was no note in the hydrangea this time, so they could only continue to the next round of the game.

At the same time, the prison in District G of Eternal Night City.

No. 13 days when Leng Miao was imprisoned, Chen Liu on the opposite side was still as noisy as a fly.The people in the prison were released one after another, but Chen Liu was just one of Chong Yanzhang's subordinates, and he hadn't been released yet, which shows that he did kill a lot of people.

Today, Jiang He is about to be released from prison.

Chen Liu started acting like a demon again.With Leng Miao around, he didn't dare to yell loudly, but he would sneer, "I said you so-called smart people, so-called military advisers, will kill people with swords. Jiang He, because you must have killed many people, right? Do you say you are good? But you went out earlier than me, it's ridiculous."

No one answered him.

Leng Miao had blocked all the sounds with magic, closed his eyes and sat against the wall, ignoring anyone.

Jiang He was quietly waiting for the cell door to open.In the matter of being in prison, when you come here, you rely on teleportation, and when you go out, you have to go out with your own legs. Therefore, if there are enemies, it is especially easy to be ambushed outside the G area and then sent in.

When the time was up, with a "click", the door finally popped open automatically.

Jiang He stood up, patted the dust off his body, and strode out of the cell.Chen Liu next door heard the sound, and his unwilling complaints suddenly turned into verbal threats.

"Jiang He, if you leave here today, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of the boss, I will definitely not spare you when I get out! Just remember, even if I can't do anything to you, others will not allow you to climb up !"

After the words were finished, Jiang He happened to walk past his cell. Through the iron fence, he turned to look at Chen Liu.

It was a look full of indifference.

Chen Liu didn't know why, but a chill went from her tailbone to her scalp.His heart trembled uncontrollably, and then he felt ashamed of his reaction, and stared back boldly, "What kind of eyes are you? Jiang He, what are you thinking? I warn you, you—"

Jiang He directly interrupted him, "I'm thinking, what kind of demon am I, I want to stay in Tianzhi and be a companion to an idiot like you. I should have paid off Chong Yanzhang's kindness to me this year. "

Chen Liu was dumbfounded.

Jiang He's implication was that he wanted to break up the team, and he left on his own initiative, but Chen Liu didn't feel the slightest joy.This is very strange, he was stunned for several seconds before he realized, "What did you say?!"

Jiang He: "Call you an idiot."

Chen Liumao was about to explode, "Jianghe! Don't try to threaten me with quitting the team. Do you think the boss will beg you to go back and hold you? Don't forget, when you were hunted down, it was the boss who rescued you. Without you, the entire Tianzhi became your refuge, so you can have today!"

"But you also forgot, did Tianzhi at that time have the status it has today? If it wasn't for me, you would all be nothing but bums." At this moment, Jiang He showed a rare arrogance and arrogance.

He hit Chen Liu with words, despised Chen Liu with his eyes, but when Chen Liu was so angry that his face turned red, he cut off his words, "Oh, I know you don't understand, because idiots don't understand human speech."

"You!!!" Chen Liu clutched her heart, almost having a heart attack.

"Go back and tell Chong Yanzhang that saving your life is my last debt to him." Jiang He ignored him, turned and left.

Chen Liu jumped in front of the railing, grabbed the railing and called Jiang He's name, accusing and cursing angrily, but he couldn't get him to turn around.Shouting and shouting, Chen Liu rationally returned to the cage, suddenly feeling a little scared.

Leng Miao on the opposite side opened his eyes at this moment.

He looked at Jiang He's back with faint eyes, and after thinking for a while, he understood Jiang He's plan.In fact, he was quite curious about Tianzhi's final direction, so he withdrew his magic just now and heard what the two said.

Jiang He broke with Tianzhi, as expected.But to Leng Miao's surprise, Jiang He was still thinking about Chong Yanzhang at the last moment.He voluntarily withdrew, and stimulated Chen Liu with words, deliberately put on that face, so that Chong Yanzhang could face his departure without guilt.

Chong Yanzhang no longer needed to be in a dilemma, he could even blame Chen Liu for his anger, and use this opportunity to suppress the veterans in the team.

This abacus is really well done.

But Leng Miao is still not optimistic about the development of Tianzhi, and Chong Yanzhang does not have the courage of a strong man to cut his wrists, so it is difficult to achieve great things.Moreover, Chen Liu and Jiang He were imprisoned here together. For thirteen days, he knew that the two were not getting along, so he didn't show up to visit.

This is probably the decisive factor that prompted Jiang He to give up Tianzhi.

Without Jiang He's will, there is nothing to look at.However, Leng Miao suddenly remembered the news revealed by the player who was locked in two days ago, about the twelve movements appearing in the E-zone dungeon.

If Chong Yanzhang can still have the courage to break the boat at this time and go to the E area to give it a try, Tian Zhi may still have a chance to turn around.

But will he?

Leng Miao fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Jiang He walked out of the cell without hindrance.Evernight City is a circular city, so each of its districts is fan-shaped, and District G is no exception.The two sides and the curved part of the fan shape are towering prison cells, like a huge wall isolating District G from other districts, while the central part is a large open lawn.

This large lawn is the main stage where the warden and the prisoners usually play games. Sometimes he also arranges the games in the cells, but that is sometimes.

At this time, the lawn was green and grassy, ​​and there was no one.

Jiang He walked unhurriedly, and after 5 minutes, he realized that he was wrong—it wasn't that there was no one at all, but that someone had fallen into the grass.

She was too thin, almost skinny from top to bottom, and the thin clothes were stained with blood, sticking to her body, so that the grass was not tall at all, and it almost covered her body.

Jiang He recognized her, she was the little girl locked in the opposite cell.

A day ago, she was taken out by the warden to play games, and she never came back.Jiang He thought she was dead, but he didn't expect to meet her here again.

He couldn't help squatting down and sniffing her.

Her breathing was so faint that Jiang He couldn't tell if she was alive or dead.

Just when he was hesitating whether to leave directly or do a good deed, the little girl suddenly raised her hands so thin that the bones protruded, and tightly grasped his ankles.

Jiang He was on alert for an instant, and the dagger was unsheathed.

When the little girl managed to raise her head, the point of the knife was facing her eyes, and the cold light was reflected in her empty eyes, forcing her to wake up a bit.

"Take me out." Her voice was hoarse, as if it had been ground by rough sand, and she lost the tone that a girl of this age should have.Her eyes are also terrible, with strong resentment and hostility, and the funny bald head adds a bit of ridiculousness.

When she said a word, she had to slow down a bit, as if she had exhausted all her strength.But her hand was still firmly grasping Jiang He's ankle, as if grasping the last straw.

"Take me out," she repeated.

"What are you going out for?" Jiang He asked.

"What to do?" The little girl suddenly smiled, the smile touched the wound, and she coughed up blood while speaking stubbornly, "I was born weak, so I have no right to live, right? Anyone can step on it, even if I If I die, no one will let me go! Why?!"

Along with the hysterical questioning, tears suddenly overflowed from the eyes.

She took one last look at Jiang He, then suddenly let go of him, and began to crawl towards the door by herself.

Jiang He looked at her, and then at the way she came. The bloodstain hidden in the grass might be the evidence that she wanted to go out all the way.

But since she can appear here and go out, it means that her sentence has come.

Jiang He looked down again at the tears on his shoe.

He never cried, even if he left Tianzhi in failure and became a lost dog again, he would never cry, but the little girl's tears touched him inexplicably.

So he bent down, picked up the little girl who hadn't climbed far at all, and strode out.

The little girl struggled, as if she didn't want to accept his charity and pity any more, but she had indeed run out of strength, and soon became immobile in his arms.

As he was walking, Jiang He suddenly felt someone watching him from behind.He suddenly turned his head and glanced at the highest point of the cell, a tower on the west corner, but the tower was empty.

There is only one person in the entire G area who can stand there—the warden Xiao Tong.

Will it be him?

Jiang He frowned in confusion, but the little girl might really die if she died, so he had no choice but to take her away without hesitation.The moment he walked out of the prison, Jiang He suddenly remembered that he still didn't know her name, so he asked, "What's your name?"

After a long time, the little girl answered: "Zheng Yingying."

This is actually the first time they have spoken since they lived next to each other in the cell.
