midnight ten

The voice of the gatekeeper lingered for a long time in the closed villa.

The dice were still spinning in his hand, as if what he was playing was not the dice, but the fate of the passers-by.

The rules are indeed simple.Throw the dice, test, roll the dice again, and test the next one.

But the simpler it is, the stronger the impact and oppressive feeling will be. It takes only 15 minutes to change people, and the high-intensity wheel battle lasts for two days and two nights. It is simply not intended to let people take a breather.

And those dice sides.

The most ominous-looking "hell is coming" occupies four sides, and the probability of throwing it is 40%. It is definitely the biggest pit.

The remaining six sides are not to be taken lightly, but because the probability of casting on each side is the same, which is 10%, it is temporarily impossible to judge their attribute tendency from the probability.

"Do you really want to continue the assessment until the end of the level?" Edogawa asked with doubts, "No rest for two days and two nights?"

"No, no, no," Paine exaggeratedly shook a finger, and his tone was ups and downs, like a teacher who suddenly became serious and gave you a lecture, "Your understanding is wrong. There are twelve of you in total, one for 15 minutes, one round of assessment It takes three hours to come down, that is to say, everyone has two hours and 45 minutes to rest, and I even think this rule is too kind..." He said, and suddenly sighed sincerely, "Unfortunately, I have repeatedly proposed to shorten The length of the single-person assessment has not been adopted by the system."

The living room fell silent, and the passers-by had no desire to ask any more questions.

Because they have recognized a cruel reality—the gatekeepers may have different personalities and auras, but they are all the same in essence.They will not treat the passers-by as "life", so don't try to awaken their empathy, and it is even more impossible to win any "rights" from them.

"Hey, don't look at me with such hatred," Paine said solemnly, "If you attack me without permission, you will be directly disqualified and judged to have failed to pass the level. This is the 'iron rule' of this assessment." ’, don’t say I didn’t tell you in advance.”

All passers-by: "..."

It was already very late, and if it was a minute later, twelve of them would join forces to fight.

"Don't be so serious, just play a game." Paine urged with a playful smile, "Come on, hurry up and discuss the order of assessment."

It seems that there is only one way to face the assessment head-on.

The 12 people looked at each other, not knowing who started first, but they gradually started discussing.

However, the volume of the passers-by was kept relatively low. To Paine's ears, it was just a trivial noise.Besides, he was too lazy to listen, so when he was chatting, he just looked at the chandelier and the hanging pictures boredly, yawned, and wandered off.

It was supposed to be a leisurely night, and he was supposed to be invincible at the poker table, but instead he was called to work overtime, and he was faced with a group of guys who were not surprised.

Time passed quietly.

"Cuckoo—"

The clock in the living room suddenly popped up a bird telling the time.

This was the first time the passers-by saw the clock telling the time after they entered here.

The current time is 00:30 on the sixth day, and there are still 47 hours and 30 minutes before the checkpoint ends.

"Okay, the prelude time is over," Paine looked at the 12 people below, "I hope you have finished your order of appearance..."

Before he finished speaking, the entire living room was suddenly filled with dense wolf shadows, not even the second and third floors were spared. Everyone, including Paine, was engulfed by endless wolf shadows, and the surrounding scene could no longer be seen clearly. Only the shadow of a wolf moving at high speed remained in the field of vision.

Pan En froze on the spot, the wolf shadows surrounding him rampaged and hit him several times, but they didn't cause any harm, they were really pure shadows.

This is... the stationery tree of the passers-by?

Pan En quickly realized the essence of [Wolf Shadow Buildings], but he still had a question mark on his forehead, saying that he could not attack the gatekeeper, so he released this kind of cover-up that was not considered an attack?

"You guys did take advantage of the rules," Paine knew, even though separated by the shadow of the wolf, that he could definitely hear you. "But what's the point of this little trick? You want to give me a gentle blow?"

No one spoke, and what responded to him was a series of messy "da da da—"

Paine tilted his head strangely. It sounded like... the sound of a group of people running away?

"Stop being sentimental, who has the time to show you off—" Zheng Luozhu's voice came from a little far away.

Then came the skeleton bride who was also a little far away: "We don't have time to play games with you—"

There is also Zhou Yunhui's complaint in the middle: "Your hand is broken——"

And Cui Zhan's irritability: "I haven't picked the lock. Forget it, dodge, I'll just kick—"

"Boom!"

The cold wind howled in, broke through the wolf shadow, and blew Pain's red hair.

In the shadow of wolves, he heard the sound of a group of people "running away".

Gatekeeper: "..."

With a sincere heart, he played games with twelve friends, who had a bad attitude and kicked down the door of his workplace.

5 minutes ago.

Tang Lin: "Escaping is definitely impossible. The entire isolated island is under the control of gatekeepers. All we can do is delay time. Every 15 minutes of delay can reduce one person's round."

Fan Peiyang: "But it shouldn't be delayed for too long, so don't have too much hope for the effect."

Zhou Yunhui: "It doesn't matter, just delay it for a minute, I just can't understand how superior he is."

Cui Zhan: "Just do as you two said. I am the fastest and open the door."

Skeleton Bride: "I said, is it safe for us to discuss this right under his nose?"

Edogawa: "Absolutely safe. Look at him, his hands are weak, his eyes are dull, his eyelids are heavy, and he yawns like he has been at the poker table for three days and three nights. In addition, he has never let go of his heart." In our place, even if we scold him now, he can't hear him."

Tiger: "Really? Let me try...cough, you bloody redhead?"

Huazi: "Haha, I can't hear you..."

5 minutes from now.

Paine watched the replay on the projection screen, gritted his teeth, and smiled.

Great, he's not sleepy now.

Taking a deep breath, Paine gave up the control in his mind, directly summoned the projection screen to his face, and raised his hand to click.

You choose to gather all the passers-by on isolated island No. 3, are you sure?

Poke poke.

After running for a long distance, the 12 people who had already dispersed suddenly went dark and the world spun.

When the vision became clear again, everyone had returned to the villa.

The door of the villa that was kicked down was closed again with a "bang--".

The twelve partners looked up, or the disappointment of being caught, or the joy of running wildly in the snow, or the frustration of continuing the assessment, or the excitement of at least a few minutes, each of them seemed to have a thousand words of "running". Aftermath".

However, the desire to survive made them combine these into one sentence: "You didn't say you can't run..."

"Shut up." Paine interrupted violently, "Listen clearly, I am now announcing that there are new iron rules for this assessment—no delaying time, no leaving the villa without permission, and no slander, slander, guard, lock, or person."

Just talking is not enough, two lines of striking bold red fonts appeared on the top of the projection screen in mid-air——

Iron rule 1: It is forbidden to attack the gatekeeper without permission.

Iron rule 2: It is forbidden to delay the time to affect the progress of the assessment.

Iron rule 3: Do not leave the villa without permission.

Iron Rule 4: It is forbidden to defame the Gatekeeper.

All passers-by: "..."

How stingy.

Paine pushed the projection screen back to the top of the crowd, and glanced at the clock at the same time: "I still want to congratulate you, you have indeed successfully delayed by 5 minutes." He looked down at the 12 people, "Now, can you tell me who Is it first in order?"

This has been decided after the discussion of "running away", because everyone knows that it is impossible to really escape, and what should come will still come.

Since the VIP volunteered, the order of assessment was set as follows: VIP, Step by Step, Kongming Lantern, and Ten Society.

Inside the VIP, the order is Tang Lin, Fan Peiyang, Nan Ge, and Zhuzi, so Tang Lin is the one who takes the lead.

But just when Tang Lin was about to step forward, Fan Peiyang came out one step faster than him.

Seeing that people came out so readily, Pan En's mood turned cloudy: "The running is so straightforward, I thought it was a real assessment, you guys have to push around, it's not bad."

No one listened to him.

Because Fan Peiyang did not obey the order set by everyone, everyone's eyes were on him as soon as he came out, and after he came out, Tang Lin took his arm again, so the eyes of the crowd became more glued. Who has time to deal with red hair.

"This is different from what was agreed." Tang Lin frowned at Fan Peiyang.

"If I insist during the discussion, you will definitely not agree." Fan Peiyang said lightly.

Of course Tang Rin disagreed.

Paine said that this is a game, but no one knows how dangerous this game is. The first examiner is the first person to test the danger with his own body. Alone] attack, even if something happens, using defense and attack together is more flexible than Fan Peiyang's single offensive stationery.

And, there is one more important point——

Tang Lin: "VIP takes the lead, I am the captain of VIP."

Fan Peiyang was silent for two seconds, then raised his eyes: "I am the man of the VIP captain."

Tang Rin: "..."

All passers-by: "..."

Paine: "..."

The air freezes.

It was the passers-by who reacted first, and the ten onlookers who watched or were later popularized about Fan Tang's love journey, covered their mouths and whispered to Mr. Fan: "The former man..."

Fan Peiyang narrowed his eyes and glanced over.

Ten partners, immediately offer good wishes for this relationship: "Mr. Fan, I wish you immediate success!"

Pan En was completely confused: "..."

Why is the air flowing between the two of them so delicate?

What is the title of "Captain's Man"?

What is the "ex-man"!

Tang Lin helplessly supported his forehead.

In the memory that Demos spied, didn't Fan Peiyang even go to the company 10 minutes apart before and after, just to keep it secret?Now it is time to publicize to the outside world, what a new idea!

Zheng Luozhu was the only one who shed tears for the beautiful love.

The boss is really working hard to chase people back. Although he is too hard, he is also clumsy and cute.

Taking advantage of Tang Lin's distraction, Fan Peiyang decisively pulled out his grasped arm, took another two steps forward, and looked up at Pan En.

Paine resolutely gave up on dealing with the messy information, and said directly: "It's up to you."

After speaking, he raised his hand and raised the ten-sided dice.

"Usually, I will give some benefits to the first person who comes out for the assessment." Paine said, gently rubbing one side of the dice with his thumb.

That side originally said "hell is coming", but after he wiped it, it turned into "the years are quiet and good".

That is to say, in the current ten-sided dice, there are two sides of "time is quiet", and "hell is coming" has been reduced from four sides to three sides.

"Quiet Time is the only lucky option in ten-sided dice," Paine explained briefly, "I've increased the probability of throwing it to 20% now, isn't this benefit very sincere?"

Fan Peiyang nodded lightly, accepting: "Let's get started."

Paine threw the dice forward casually.

The dice flew over Fan Peiyang's head and flew towards the opposite wall.

Fan Peiyang followed and turned around.

Others followed suit.

The Rubik's Cube-sized ten-sided dice hit the wall, made a small "boom", then bounced back a bit and fell to the ground.

"Clap."

The dice landed.

Everyone held their breath to watch. If they couldn't see clearly, they looked up at the real-time close-up on the projection screen.

On the ten-sided dice lying on the ground, the upward side is - the years are quiet and good.

All the passers-by stared wide-eyed, and the only lucky item came, what kind of unnatural luck!

Pan En was also unabashedly surprised: "It really hit you..." He shrugged, "Okay, then enjoy 15 minutes of time and tranquility."

As soon as the words fell, a table for one person filled with delicate delicacies slowly descended from the ceiling and landed in front of Fan Peiyang.

"Depend on……"

"This is too happy..."

All the passers-by were so greedy... Uh, I was so envious, some of them were quick to get started, but as soon as they touched a plate on the side of the table, the plate disappeared.

The person who reached out was taken aback.

"Don't try to enjoy the dice that doesn't belong to you..." Pan En's belated explanation sounded like watching a play.

Fifteen minutes passed by, and Fan Peiyang didn't take a few bites of the food on the table.

Pan En raised his eyebrows: "Survival Island has been so many days, don't tell me you're not hungry."

Fan Peiyang looked at the table full of delicious food, and seemed to be a little bit sorry, but: "I just ate grilled fish, and I'm really not very hungry."

Paine: "..."

"Cuckoo—"

The bird chimes the time.

It seemed to know the progress of the assessment. This time, it happened to be stuck at No. 15 minutes after Paine threw the dice.

The gourmet table disappears.

Paine raised his hand, and the dice on the ground flew up and returned to his hand.

"Next." The Gatekeeper didn't waste a second.

This time it was Tang Lin.

He took a step forward and gave Paine a light nod.

Paine responded casually, and then rolled the dice.

The benefits of the dice have been cancelled, and the normal dice faces of "hell is coming" on four sides and "time is quiet" on one side have been restored.

This second flying arc was a little lower than the last time, and it was a little bit off, and it landed directly in the corner of the wall.

"Clap."

The projection screen will advance accordingly.

On the upward side, it is again - the years are quiet and good.

Paine was taken aback.

The passers-by were also stunned.

It's okay for Fan Peiyang to hit the 20% probability, but Tang Lin can even aim at the 10% probability?

Is this a group to burn incense to Lady Luck?

"Oh, interesting." Paine said to himself, but he didn't seem unhappy, more like he thought such a coincidence was very interesting.

In any case, since it was thrown, according to the rules, it is time to give food and drink to the passers-by.

Another table falls.

Tang Lin ate slowly for 15 minutes, thoroughly enjoying the "time is quiet and good".

The third person who stepped forward to assess, Nan Ge.

The dice fell—the years were quiet.

Paine: "..."

The fourth one is Zheng Luozhu.

The dice fell—the years were quiet.

One hour passed like this in four "times are quiet".

No matter how silly and sweet, I can see that something is wrong at this time.

But all the passers-by didn’t show it. All of them, at this time, seemed to be possessed by the acting school. Every time they saw the dice throwing "The Years Are Quiet", it was like the first time they saw it-exclamation, envy, lemon essence, emotions Very layered.

Pan En looked at Zheng Luozhu, who was feasting, and then at the passer-by who was watching with genuine affection, his hands were about to crush the railing.

There must be problems.

The point is what went wrong.

The gatekeeper adjusted his breathing gently, resisting the urge to slap everyone to death, and waited for the next round of assessment.

"Cuckoo—"

Paine has never liked this little chubby bird so much like this moment.

"Next." He spoke in a natural tone without revealing any clues.

Edogawa came out.

Paine smiled at him for the first time, raised his hand, and threw the dice forcefully.

The eyes of all passers-by followed the dice as they moved along the flight path.

Pan En also looked at the dice, but out of the corner of his eye, he was passing the passers-by one by one.

"Click", the dice landed - the years are quiet and good.

Pan En's gaze was also fixed on Fan Peiyang, and he uttered three words very slowly: "You cheated."

Fan Peiyang raised his head calmly, and looked at him: "I'm surprised you only found out now. Don't gatekeepers need to read the profile of the gatebreaker in advance?"

Paine: "..."

He was full of questions and didn't say anything, but the cheater criticized him first?

"If you have read the information, you will know that teleportation is my basic ability. I can manipulate the dice a little before it hits the ground. As long as the timing is right and the speed is coordinated well, it is easy to deceive people." Fan Peiyang paused, lightly Sighing, "I thought you'd find out the third time..."

Paine: "..."

Who can explain the disappointment that comes from the piggy bank?He and this passer-by are not subordinates, are they?

"I cheated, I admit it, but 'no cheating' is not in the iron rules," Fan Peiyang continued, "Your rule is, after the dice come to rest, whichever side faces up is the assessment content, now 'time is quiet' Up, I think you still need to follow the rules and fulfill the assessment of Xiaojiang."

Edogawa: "President Fan..."

He obviously likes Tang Lin's gentle style, but Mr. Fan is also damn charming!

All the passers-by looked at Tang Lin earnestly—what else do you think about this kind of man? !

Tang Rin: "..."

The VIP captain began to plan carefully, and found a suitable time to have a serious conversation with his team members about "please don't exude your personal charm anytime and anywhere".
