I Wasn't Born Lucky

Xiao Li didn't know what Fu Zige had done. When he came back, he saw that the KTV ghost returned to the microphone with three parts joy and seven parts panic, and put the round head of the microphone on the sofa. Cover it with the cushion on the top, leaving only a microphone butt outside.

Xiao Li had just returned from the pet hospital at that time, and he accompanied Shen Mizhi to pick up the little white cat, and went to his house to house the kitten.

Although when he was leaving, the little white cat hooked him reluctantly with its paws, and Shen Mizhi also wanted him to stay, but Xiao Li still controlled himself.

He looked at the turned off TV, reached out and poked the end of the KTV ghost's microphone, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Fu Zige snorted and twisted his body: "It's all right."

Xiao Li turned his head and asked Sin Tian who stayed at home: "Did it go out?"

[Maybe went out to participate in the poetry recitation contest and was eliminated. 】Sin Tian still hates Fu Zi Ge stick reading the passages of his novels, full of yin and yang.

Xiao Li: "..."

Tan Li and Zhou Ying went out with him, and the little black cat insisted on following him to monitor him. Only these two real ghosts and Xiu Ji were left at home.Unfortunately, Xiu Ji took the stick figure out to visit, and it is said that she went to see some painting exhibition in reality, and she was not at home. This caused Fu Zige to refuse to speak, and Xiao Li didn't know exactly what it did when she went out.

But soon, when the next episode of "I'm the King of Songs" was broadcast, Xiao Li knew what it was doing——

There is no other reason, this program group made this matter publicity.

That night Xiao Li ordered takeaway for supper, sat at home aimlessly playing TV, and spread out the completed homework on the coffee table in front of him.

Fu Zige was lying on his side beside the boy, with his microphone head half dead facing the balcony.

Tonight is the broadcast time of "I am the King of Singers", Xiao Li deliberately tuned to the channel that broadcasts this program.

As soon as the time arrived, the preview of the program was first released during the commercial time.

I saw an eye-catching advertisement on the TV screen:

"Sudden supernatural event, in the recording room where the submissions were screened, the staff saw a grimace? ! "

"The tape that even listens to ghost faces, what kind of fairy song is it?" !Don't leave, the exciting show will be broadcast soon! "

Behind this slogan is a photo of a young staff member sitting on the ground, pointing his finger at the vent on the top of the ceiling, which was taken by his companions.

The employee's face and the vent were mosaiced, but the white shadow of the vent could be vaguely seen, because from the body movements of eating it, it stretched its neck, as if it was almost frightened under observation. Dizzy youth.

Xiao Li can guess who this so-called grimace is without looking at it.

Xiao Li: "..."

Fu Zige looked at himself on the TV screen and weakly defended himself: "I just want to thank him and praise my song."

Who knew A Le was so careless.

Frightened "Bole" to the point of fainting, Fu Zige himself was also very uncomfortable.

Before Xiao Li could speak, the manuscript placed on the napkin box had already displayed: [What are you doing now that you don’t have a B number in your mind? 】

[The cannon fodder in my update tonight is you. 】Sin Tian categorically retaliated.

Fu Zige: "Hehe, do you want to be read again?"

"I haven't recited the first kiss scene of your hero and heroine—"

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight each other again in their own way, Xiao Li patted Fu Zige and stopped their struggle with one sentence: "The show has begun."

Since it was about his own business, Fu Zige immediately turned his gun and focused on watching the show.

In the past, "I am the King of Singer" would be the selection and performance of civilian contestants from the beginning, but this episode is different. The program team seems to have put their minds to it, using "supernatural events in the recording room" as a gimmick to promote this episode. Therefore, after the program started, the mosaic interview with the staff in the recording room was the first to appear.

A woman with mosaic eyes appeared on the screen: "I didn't see the haunted scene with my own eyes. It was my colleague who saw it. We were discussing an original song by amateurs. It was very tasteful. My colleague As soon as I sat up to leave, this ghost appeared."

Then came the statement from the young colleague: "I'm much better now, thanks to the program team for giving me a few days off, and I also went to the temple to burn incense to drive away evil spirits."

"What happened that day was the scariest scene I've ever seen in my life. I just stood up and wanted to go outside, when I looked up by chance, I caught a glimpse of that face."

"At that time, I was so frightened that I felt like it was going to attack me, but our recording room was clean and nothing like this had ever happened, not even a rumor."

"Later, I thought about it. The white shadow in the ventilation duct showed signs of looking inside. I wondered if it was attracted by that song?"

The interview with the staff of the program team ended here, and the slogan was displayed on the screen again later:

"Mysterious song that attracts even ghosts!"The anonymous singer has a hoarse voice, but has a different charm. "

"The editor was so angry that he didn't close his eyes for three nights before he edited this special program. Is the program good?"The editor's hair was changed! "

"Next, please enjoy this song, it comes from the submission mailbox, but the contributor refused to accept our interview and invitation. "

The TV screen turned to record the scene. Hundreds of spectators sat under the stage. There was a microphone on the stage, and no one stood on the stage. The judges turned their backs to the stage, waiting for the song in the headset. .

The program started to play the recording of Fu Zige, and the man's hoarse voice filled everyone's ears.

Xiao Li: "..."

He knew very well that Fu Zige's song was indeed good, but it was not to such an exaggerated level. It was obvious that the program group was going all out to save the falling ratings, and even used this kind of thing as a gimmick.

Xiao Li thought for a while, and said to the microphone beside him: "On the bright side, your song has at least appeared on a TV show."

Fu Zige, the ghost, doesn't seem to mind being hyped like this. He is in much better spirits than a few days ago. Hearing this, he said happily: "I thought I scared him, and it was quite uncomfortable. Now it's good to see that he is still alive gone."

When Fu Zige was a resident singer in a bar, his biggest wish was to let others hear his songs. Now that he has successfully fulfilled his wish, he is eagerly waiting for the judges' comments.

And the judges lived up to expectations, perhaps because the program team had mentioned the script, the leading male singer turned his back to the stage and said: "The voice is simple, and the singing has a heart-pounding power, this singer must be very experienced. "

Another soprano singer also said: "Yes, Teacher Wu is right. Although there are inherent flaws and the high notes can't be sung, the emotions inside are very sincere. At least I will want to understand the urge to understand the singer's experience. .”

Fu Zige watched eagerly, concentrating all his attention, wishing to put his eyes directly into the screen, and deeply remember these evaluations in his mind.

Sintian had already gone offline to write its update today, and wrote Fu Zige into the novel to be violent. Xiao Li patiently accompanied Fu Zige to read it for a while, and then lowered his head to reply to Shen Mizhi's news.

Shen Mizhi sent a photo of a little white cat.

The little white cat inside has already adapted to the new home. It is frowning at the cat milk cake in front of it. Front paws flutter.

Xiao Li praised: [I got used to it. 】

Shen Mizhi: 【Well, but it misses you very much. 】

Xiao Li: [I will go to see it when I have time. 】

……

"……Thank you."

Xiao Li heard this inaudible thank you, he raised his head from the phone, and bent his lips: "You're welcome."

Due to the absence of dungeons for too long, even Xiao Li browsed the forum and found that not only himself, but almost all the reincarnated dungeons had been lengthened, staying in the real world for too long.

In addition to what happened in China, there are also detailed forums abroad to sort out. At present, the most famous one is the group hallucinogenic incident in Banana Country. It is said that it happened in a residential area. At that time, everyone claimed that they saw the coming of the end and heard Bewitching their voices, even folded a few senior foreign reincarnation inside.

The posts on the forum are full of wind and rain. There are various posts asking what happened and revealing part of the situation. The protection and supply items have been sold out in the mall, and some items have been sold on the black market. Money for houses in first-tier cities.

When Xiao Li was taking turns sorting out the common points of various supernatural events in reality, he was pulled into the next instance.

After the initial shaking subsided, when Xiao Li opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in front of a tourist bus.

It's not the kind of dilapidated poor mountain valley bus. The bus in front of him has a luxurious appearance. It has been scrubbed clean and spotless. It has two floors. The upper floor is an open-top design. The chairs are covered with a layer of bright red The soft cloth is mainly gold, white and red as a whole, and it looks very expensive.

The sun was setting in the distance, and the setting sun was like blood, covering the sky, it was dusk.

There are some people standing in front of the bus, centered on a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing a typical Zhongshan suit and a dark blue hat with a wide brim, holding a stack of A4 papers in his hand, facing Pointing fingers at the people next to him.

Except for the group of people surrounding this middle-aged man, Xiao Li looked around and found a few familiar faces—not to mention Shen Mi, who pestered Xiao Li to sign a team talisman; There are also two old teammates, Ye Zeqing and Zheng Yi; Wang Huai; a dark-skinned foreign girl with a bumpy figure and long hair tied behind her head with pure gold ornaments; a gentle Asian youth; Two older mature men.

Including Xiao Li, they were all looking around.

Compared to the others, Ye Zeqing and Zheng Yi were already familiar with each other, so they greeted Xiao Li as soon as they came over.

Ye Zeqing: "Moriarty."

Zheng Yi: "Sherlock."

Exported almost simultaneously.

They looked at each other, but neither of them was willing to back down easily.

Xiao Li: "...Forget it, you guys should call me Hercule."

Strangers over there also tend to lean in and form a circle for initial self-introductions.

"—Okay, contestants, please come here." Before the reincarnators exchanged greetings, a smooth voice interrupted them.

It was a short and fat man with a bulging belly like a ball, which was very joyful. A horizontal line was sprayed with black paint on the back of his hand, and he was holding his right hand waiting for everyone to come.

Player?

calling them?

Xiao Li and the others walked over, only to hear the fat man clutching his stomach, and mobilized loudly, "Welcome to the 'Gambling Life Variety Show'! All the contestants have been carefully screened by the program team and passed through many barriers. Can be selected to stand on the stage of this column group with the highest ratings in the universe!"

"This kind of opportunity is hard-won, and I hope you will cherish it."

"First of all, each of you must be equipped with a miniature pinhole camera, carry it with you, and it must not be closed or removed. After entering the designated place, it will broadcast your behavior 24 hours a day."

"Remember, your actions will be broadcast live. The audience can see your words and deeds. There will be their barrage in the broadcast room. You can check them twice a day."

"This is a special communicator made by the program group. It is used to connect to the live broadcast room. It does not have other functions such as calls. It is just for your convenience to react according to the barrage and please our audience."

"Next, please take this big bus beside me, it will take you to the designated place, you will receive an envelope, that will be the goal you must achieve in this program."

Fatty looked like a good jingle-talker, he said so many words in one breath, but he didn't say anything wrong, he held up the microphone emotionally, and spoke words very clearly.

The cameraman in the program group held up the camera and took 360-degree shots of the fat man and the contestants.

While the fat man was talking, some staff members came over and distributed the so-called pinhole cameras and communicators to everyone one by one.

The communicator is a tablet in the shape of a mobile phone, and the brooch is designed as a brooch in the shape of a ouroboros, carved so lifelike that the brooch alone is a work of art in the outside world.

Xiao Li took the brooch and pinned it to his chest.

"Hmm, did I forget something?"

"Oh yes, of course there is the most important sentence—"

The fat man was already about to leave, but he suddenly stepped back and showed a standard toothy smile at the cameraman beside him: "Thank you for your great support for this program, and thank death, despair, screaming, and fear for this Sponsorship of the program, the above rankings are in no particular order."

"Next, please watch - the beginning of the bet."

His smile showed eight teeth, all of which were extremely white, but what he said made the reincarnators look at each other.

Death, despair, screaming, fear.

If the previous reminders are still a normal variety show process, but this acknowledgment has lifted the veil of flesh and blood under the warm surface of the program group.

The woman with the golden jewelry originally wanted to stop the fat man, but before taking two steps, the fat man disappeared. At the same time, the staff who gave them the brooch smiled and said, "Please get in the car."

"Excuse me, can you tell me the specific destination here?" Zheng Yi approached, seeing that the staff was normal, he asked boldly.

"Please get in the car." The staff member repeated his words without changing his smile.

Zheng Yi: "This, can't we disclose it?"

Staff: "Please get in the car."

No matter how Zheng Yi asked, this staff member kept the same curved smile and repeated the same sentence. Their smiles were the same as those of the fat man, as if they had undergone some special training, and there were no individual differences.

Zheng Yi felt a little creepy.

Xiao Li passed by him: "Let's go."

He took the lead on the tourist bus parked next to him, and picked a window seat on the top floor of the convertible, followed by Shen Mizhi, who sat beside him.

Zheng Yi and Ye Zeqing chose to sit in the back and the front respectively. Wang Huai sat opposite to Xiao Li, while the foreign girl and the young Asian chose to sit together on the top floor of the convertible. The two men who were obviously familiar with each other Then choose the safer bottom car.

After everyone got into the car, the driver closed the door and the car started to move forward slowly.

The driver also came over safely from the program team. He was a tall, strong man with an ordinary face. He stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

It can be seen from the rearview mirror that the staff members have been standing in place, watching the vehicle leave, with the same smile on their faces, but the fat man who is the commentator is missing.

On the top floor of the hood, the woman wearing golden ornaments spoke first: "Let's get to know each other, we will always cooperate in the future, I'm Setamon."

She has used the translation prop, which automatically translates the language spoken by both parties.

The Asian youth smiled slightly: "Park Xishun."

Zheng Yi and others also reported their names one by one.

Setamon: "I'll skip the compliments like 'it's you'. I've heard everyone here. I'm a straightforward person, so I'll just say what I see first.”

She held up her task book: "Currently the task book has not released the tasks and introduction here, maybe it is the same as this so-called program group, and it will be released after arriving at the designated destination."

She has a small face, a sharp chin, and high-heeled shoes, and her words are very capable.

Ye Zeqing: "Where will the destination be?"

The speed of the convertible car is very fast. Just looking at the outside scenery, this place seems to be a road that has just been repaired in a remote mountain village, with weeds on the side of the road and mountains in the distance.

The bitter wind blew through everyone's hair, rustling in their ears.

Xiao Li narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say much, a coat on the right was covering him, with a very faint sense of ice and snow, which he recognized as the scent of a young man.

He clawed at the hem of the coat with his hands.

Shen Mizhi said: "Cover it, don't you feel cold?"

At this moment, the open top suddenly started to work, and with a "buzz", it wrapped the roof of the car like a giant black dandelion, blocking the wilder wind.

Wrapped in this black leather, the outside scenery became blurred, and the bus drove into the night.

Shen Mizhi's cold voice rang in Xiao Li's ear: "Go to sleep for a while."

Meanwhile, the two men inside the bus.

They kept looking out of the window without speaking. Finally, one of the men who was a little taller said, "I can't see the outside world clearly."

The other person never responded.

The person who spoke first: "Wait a little longer."

……

The bus drove for a long, long time, during which it was mostly dark, and no one could see clearly what was outside the window. Just when Zheng Yi couldn't help complaining about the jolting of the car and his whole body ached, the bus finally stopped.

"Please get off."

The driver used the PA to amplify the sound, and he opened the car door: "Before getting out of the car, please get your task card from the lottery box behind the door."

The two men sitting on the lower deck of the bus were the first to get close to the water.

The shell of the lottery box was ordinary, and it was wrapped tightly, leaving only a hole big enough for a hand to get in.

The tall man who spoke first smoothly took out a golden envelope from inside, and the envelope was sealed with dark red paint.

Just as the other person was about to reach in, the driver said, "There is only one task card, and your tasks are the same."

Even with this reminder, he still didn't take back his hand, but fumbled around inside to confirm that there were really no other cards before giving up.

Several people on the top of the convertible also got out of the car one after another.

Xiao Li was the latest to come down. He didn't intend to sleep, but he closed his eyes unconsciously. When he woke up, he found that he was not leaning against the window, but on Shen Mizhi's shoulder.

He rubbed the red marks on his face and jumped out of the car.

Almost as soon as the last person got out of the car, the driver stepped on the gas pedal and left the destination immediately. The speed was so urgent, as if something was chasing him behind him.

This so-called destination is a completely different complex of buildings than before.

It looks more like an exquisite museum or artwork, like a scale, with a tray on the left and right sides, towering and towering, with white walls, no sign at the door, very tall.

The man holding the task card tore open the envelope after a brief observation and took out the card inside.

The face of the card is very simple, it is a blank piece of paper, with only a few words written on it: [Welcome to the Judgment Prison, your mission: escape. 】

[The winners will get all the prizes in this variety show, shhh, are you curious about what the prizes are?You won't know until you win. 】

There is another sentence on the back of the card: [Failure?The end of failure is death. 】

The word "death" is boldly drawn.

The moment everyone finished reading the task card, the task book also trembled, and Xiao Li looked at Xiao Huang Ben:

[Remaining safety time: zero. 】

[You have entered Judgment Prison No. 010. 】

[All sins end here. 】

[This mission: jailbreak, you can return to reality after you complete it. 】

[This task has been authorized by the ruling court, and it will enter the trial process. 】

Compared with the previous bunch of introductions to the dungeon world, Xiao Huang this time can be said to be very concise and not too detailed.

Zheng Yi said: "This is... a prison? A cage?"

The appearance of the building in front of me has nothing to do with these words.

Xiao Li looked towards the place where the bus disappeared, but saw that a suspension bridge had stretched out there, completely cutting off contact with the outside world.

"Trial procedure, how to judge?" Pu Xishun said with a twist.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an extra line of words under his task book, followed by a scale symbol.

[In the ruling, the trial charge: lazy. 】

【Convicted. 】

[Ten years of imprisonment, number 23023. 】

Pu Xishun said in amazement: "Ten years, I'm not so lazy, am I?"

"Is this a judgment based on the seven deadly sins?" Setamon said to himself, "Is this too general, or is it the arrangement of the program group..."

……

And Xiao Li looked at himself, and Xiao Huangben showed: [In the verdict, the trial charge: arrogance. 】

【Convicted. 】

[Imprisoned for life, number 23024. 】

Below this sentence, there is also a sentence that Xiao Huangben played on his own: [... by me. 】

Xiao Li:? ? ?

He subconsciously raised his head to look at Shen Mizhi beside him.

The young man noticed his gaze, he didn't show his empty task book, leaned over, and whispered in his ear: 【I admire you too much. 】

The punishment is life imprisonment.

Xiao Li: "..."

Xiao Li: "Lust?"

Shen Mizhi laughed and denied it: "Greedy."

Wang Huai said lazily: "I am a glutton and I have been imprisoned for five years."

He feels fine about himself.

Ye Zeqing: "Lazy, imprisoned for 50 years."

His face turned green, is he that lazy?Could it be that Ye Lingshi was lazy when he asked him to study the art of refining ghosts, why did it take him so long?

Zheng Yi: "I am also a glutton, imprisoned for 15 years."

Setamon: "Jealousy, imprisoned for ten years."

The remaining two men only spoke their names at this time, and the tall man said: "Magic Flute, ten years."

One person left: "Moss, 90 years."

Xiao Li took a double look at this man.

The two did not name their crimes, and only said the time out of place.

In front of this building, water-like waves surged from the sky, turning into the opening CG.

The first shot shows a woman with long hair. She is very beautiful, with meticulous makeup and a long dress that perfectly sets off her waist.

Holding a brooch similar to everyone else's in her hand, she complained coquettishly to the people around her: "What kind of crap show, the assistant can't bring it, and you have to take the bus so far to come here, really, it still looks good , what kind of prison, it’s absolutely perfect.”

"My aunt, Miss Lian Susu, don't be like this when the meeting is on camera, remember to act for me after the camera is turned on, whether you can escape successfully or not, show me the appearance that the audience loves." She stood beside her. The manager hurriedly asked, "Look at the side, even she is here, this is the hottest variety show right now."

Lian Susu glanced at the people surrounded by the crowd on the other side, and snorted: "Don't worry, I still know about it, forget it, hurry up, finish the filming sooner and end sooner."

As she said, she put the brooch away on her chest, and when she stood up again, her voice was impeccable, and she said to the man in the center: "Director, let's get in the car quickly. It's getting so late, I won't delay everyone going home .”

The director said: "Okay, Miss Lian is really considerate, thank you."

"What do you need to thank?" Lian Susu covered her mouth with a smile, "I will definitely try my best to cooperate. I'm going up. Thank you for your hard work."

The scene changed here, Lian Susu and another female star stood in front of this building together, they competed with each other, and Lian Susu walked in first.

The opening CG ends here. At the moment when the screen disappears, the door of the building in front slowly opens from the inside, waiting for everyone to enter.

But no one came out to greet them.

Setamon speculated: "They should be our first batch of variety show contestants, and they have already entered here."

"Go in first." Wang Huai said.

The interior of the building was beyond everyone's expectations. No one stood at the door to "greet" them, and there were no traces of any living things.

There are no reasonable guards or security guards to handle the door, and no staff from the program team to respond inside. There is only a dazzling light overhead, and the place is as quiet as a cemetery.

At first it was a one-person passage, for only one person to enter and exit, and everyone lined up and walked inside.

The door behind him closed quietly without making a sound. It didn’t have a door lock. Looking from the inside, the door and the wall are perfectly integrated. There is no door lock, and the gap between the door is pitifully small. It looks like a complete wall , it seems that this door does not exist at all.

At the end of the passage, there are four forks.

The lights dimmed from the fork.

At this time, a piercing broadcast suddenly sounded in the channel: "Please note that there are still 5 minutes before the lights-off time, please enter the corresponding room according to the number as soon as possible, repeat, there are still 5 minutes to enter the lights-off time."

Enter the corresponding room according to the number.

Ye Zeqing pointed to the [No. 23000-24000] sprayed on the wall at the far right fork: "Here."

"Go in first, our number is the same batch."

After everyone entered this fork, they found that if they went inside, there were layers of rooms. Each room was about the size of a single room, with beds, washbasins and other basic living facilities inside. Write the corresponding number.

When they went deeper, they realized that it was not just one floor, there were countless floors here, and there was no end in sight. The middle was hollowed out, and there was a platform when they looked deep.

Not all of these rooms were filled with people, most of them were empty, and only a few of them were filled with people.

Guang Xiaoli walked all the way to the room with his corresponding number, and saw only three people along the way, and there was no Lian Susu in the opening CG.

These three rooms were separated by quite a distance. The first one was a haggard young man with good features, young, but very sloppy, as if he hadn't been cleaned for a long time, curled up at the corner of the bed, looking outside.

The second one is a woman. She has a straight posture and sits very straight. She looks at the reincarnated people carefully.

The third one was a silent man, he was conscious, leaning on the railing, and smiled at Xiao Li: "New here, hurry in, the lights are going to be turned off, cherish your first night."

This person can communicate.

Xiao Li stopped in front of this person's room, bent down tentatively and asked, "When did you come in?"

The man said "heh", "This is none of your business."

He raised a finger and pointed to the sky: "It's time to turn off the lights. If you want to die, just keep standing outside like this."

The broadcast prompt sounded just right: "Please note that there are still 3 minutes before the lights-off time. Please enter the corresponding room according to the number as soon as possible."

Shen Mizhi: "Come in."

He had already opened the door for Xiao Li, stood inside, and stretched out his hand to him.

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, but went in anyway. Except for him, the other reincarnations didn't have the idea of ​​breaking the taboo on the first day they came in, and they all chose to walk into their room.

This is a single room, but the sound insulation is very poor, he can even hear the sound of the next door moving his body.

Three minutes later, the overhead lights were instantly extinguished, and darkness descended.
