If you fail to confess, you will become stronger [Unlimited]

The sound insulation effect of the castle is average, not superior.

Screams came from 5008 and spread to the entire floor. Before the ball started, the devil butler stood on the edge of the stairs with a tall and straight posture and a solemn face. He was waiting for the players to arrive.

The players were startled by the screams and gathered over one after another.

When Qiao Le arrived at room 5008, many people were already surrounded outside.Since it is a guest room, the layout is similar, the wool carpet is thick and soft, and the room smells of blood.

He stood on the edge of the crowd, looking into the bathroom through the gap.

Twenty minutes ago, I was still with them. The chatting and laughing player had a big hole in his chest. He was lying in the bathtub wearing the clothes he entered the game. Scarlet blood flooded half of his face. His pupils were constricted and his eyes were wide open. .

"what happened?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind his ears, and Qiao Le raised his head, hitting the man's chest with the back of his head, his sharp jawline reflected in his eyes.The man's hair was still dripping, and he reached out to support Qiao Le's waist to prevent him from falling.

"Someone died." Zero calmly told what he had seen, without any surprise on his face.

Yixi came later than Zero. He seemed to be seeing a dead person for the first time. His expression was timid, and he hid behind Qiao Le trembling.

Qiao Le is 1.7 meters tall, and Yixi is slightly taller than him, about 1.8 meters.

It's just that his aura is too weak. After entering the game, he almost had the three characters "silly, white and sweet" written on his face. He was timid and timid, but now he is leaning on Qiao Le's shoulder, and he doesn't seem to be out of harmony at all. .

【Ahhh! ! !Green tea whore, let go of my wife, I've already seen your true colors. 】

[Monster, look at zero!What a handsome and strong loyal dog, Yixi is such a bitch, unless he performs a face-changing performance for me on the spot, otherwise Mama will definitely not support him! 】

[Although zero is very fragrant, I prefer fortune-tellers who send roses or something... Hehehe. 】

[A player has sacrificed, Monster, you must live to the end. 】

【Brother, go all the way, alas! 】

[I don’t know when we will be able to return to the peaceful life before. I really miss the Internet, takeaway, sunshine, and even the depressing spring due to rhinitis. Now I want to woo woo woo. 】

[Stop woo woo woo, besides, I want to cry too. 】

[Speaking of which, it’s self-inflicted, it’s better to concentrate on knocking CP, at least you can have some fun. 】

……

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

It has been two months since the Paradise appeared. Due to the disappearance of the Internet and the extreme weather, the government's control has weakened, and all kinds of extreme remarks have emerged in an endless stream.

Qiao Le was focused on making money and didn't pay attention.

The faucet in the bathroom was still running, and the water was overflowing from the tub and onto the floor.Qiao Le squeezed to the front, looked around carefully, and his eyes fell on the gap in the bathtub.

In the current dungeon, although the technology is not developed, there are still faucets, hoods, electric lights and other things. It is roughly estimated that the development of technology here is similar to the steam age in the [-]th century.

Limited by technology, there is a finger-wide gap between the bathtub and the wall.

The blue card playfully reveals a small corner.

Qiao Le turned off the faucet to stop the water from spreading, bent down, stretched out his fingers carefully, and with a light hook, picked up the drenched Tarot card from the ground.

The Devil

demon.

The ferocious demon with huge horns and bat-like wings lures people to hell.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

"The player's tarot card?" It's only been a few hours since I entered the game, and I haven't introduced myself, and most of them don't know each other's names yet.

Qiao Le pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No! It shouldn't belong to him." He showed the card and said slowly: "If nothing else happens, this card should be the demon mixed into it, and it has been replaced now. "

Everyone looked at each other, and there was silence for a while.

Zhao Xuehua said cautiously: "It's possible...he..." Pointing his right hand to the player who had a hunch, "He is a demon."

Everyone: "..."

"Just... a small suggestion." After Zhao Xuehua said this, he realized how stupid he was, his face was flushed, and he rubbed against Qiao Le embarrassedly, "Besides this card, there are other things ?"

"No more." The boy shook his head.

Zhao Xuehua has never given up on the idea of ​​establishing a good relationship with Qiao Le. Just as he was about to say a few more words, he heard someone knock on the door. Following his reputation, the butler was standing at the door in a tuxedo, and said in a deep voice, "The dance is about to begin. , please come with me."

"But he—"

"Please don't worry, the maid will clean up the room." The butler was polite, with the corners of his lips curled up strangely, "Your Excellency only invited ten guests, and the number is just right now."

The demon's eyes were cloudy and dull, and under the cold light, they were yellow and orange like the eyes of a wild beast.

As if being stared at by a large animal, Zhao Xuehua's hair stood on end, he held his breath, and goosebumps popped out.It wasn't until Mr. Housekeeper looked away that she dared to take a big breath.

very scary.

No matter how much psychological construction you have done before entering the game, you can only know the players' fear when you really face the monster.

Qiao Le used the back of his hand to support him in the dark, and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

"No, I was just a little... frightened." Zhao Xuehua smiled wryly, and looked through the spiral staircase to the hall at the bottom. "It's only the first instance, so I regret it a little. domain."

She said to herself: "Actually, I have cancer, which is at an advanced stage. The doctor said that I only have three months to live. Having said that, I actually have no sense of reality at all."

"My mother advised me to undergo chemotherapy, but everyone knows that chemotherapy will not last long." She shrugged and touched her nose, "So I came to the Paradise to try my luck, as long as I can awaken the healing ability..."

The girl's face still carried the youthful recklessness unique to young people, and the disease had not yet tortured her to the point where she was completely broken.

After talking about himself, Zhao Xuehua asked Qiao Le curiously: "Why did you enter the Paradise?"

After three seconds of silence, the young man said quietly, "For money."

"..."

"I don't want to have to eat relief meals every day."

Zhao Xuehua choked for a moment, then said pitifully: "It's not easy for everyone, alas!"

Their voices were very low, apart from each other, only Zero who was closer could clearly understand - Ishi wanted to come over at first, but was dragged forward by the female player who lost her dance partner.

Eleven players, already divided into teams during dance practice.

One of them died. Compared with the inexperienced Ishi, the female player wanted to find another pair of male players who had practiced with each other, but unfortunately they were rejected.

After getting familiar with the dance partner, it is also risky to change people at will.

The ball is held in the largest main hall.

The butler waved his hand, and the maids came forward with trays, all kinds of masks lying quietly on the black velvet surface."Guests, please wear your masks," he said.

"Because Lord Satan likes Orientals, in the past banquets, specially hired Orientals would perform the opening dance." The butler glanced at the players one by one, and paused for a moment on Qiao Le, "But this time, we changed the rules."

The players pricked up their ears, and there was a commotion.

"For this dance party, we will randomly assign dance partners." After saying this, the housekeeper stopped talking.

The masks are well made with beautiful patterns engraved on them.Qiao Le was assigned a white mask with dark patterns of roses carved on it, and a hollow rose extending upwards on the right side, which is retro and gorgeous.

Seems like there are roses everywhere?Qiao Le murmured in his heart.

Looking around, the masks of the ten players are all different. Zero's mask is black all over, simple and elegant, exuding a lustrous luster under the light.

Qiao Le tied up the straps and was about to put them on when he felt his clothes being ripped behind him.

Turning around, it was Zero: "What's wrong?"

The butler is facing the player, directly in front.The man stretched out his hand, and Qiao Le followed his movement and quietly stood at the back of the line.

Perhaps it has something to do with the dungeon. The players who entered the dungeon this time all had a score of seven or more.

The tall male player stood in front like a wall of flesh, giving the two of them a private space.Qiao Le didn't understand, so she asked again in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"Swap masks."

Qiao Le: "?"

Zero's black mask came into his hand, pinching the edge of the mask, a little confused: "Do these masks have special meaning?"

"Mostly not."

"?"

"But your mask does." Zero added.

"In that case, will you be in danger?" Qiao Le recovered from the shock, pulled himself together, and told himself that he should not be fooled by the devil's false flattery.

How nice is it to say?Still doing trouble in the mask?

fraud.

"Don't worry." The door on the side of the ballroom opened, and the players entered one by one. Zero hid the white mask behind his back, "Don't be discovered by the butler."

"it is good."

The two of them mixed in the crowd and didn't put on their masks until they were out of the butler's sight.

There are two doors in the banquet hall, one is the main entrance, where the devil enters; the other is the side door for players to enter... The ballroom is very large, and at a glance, it looks like a football field.

Towering ceiling crystal lamps, gorgeous carved stone pillars, the aroma of red wine permeates the air, mixed with the smell of roses, and has a strong and mellow aroma.

The demon, with an average height of 1.9 meters, is wearing a Chinese costume and a mask, with an elegant posture.

Only a pair of greedy and vicious eyes revealed her true nature.

They are staring at the player, like a beast staring at the food, thinking about where to bite?The coercion that came all at once made it difficult for players to move an inch.

Qiao Le stood behind, avoiding the sight of the demon.

The crystal chandelier above the head was suddenly turned off, the candles were extinguished, and the hall was plunged into deep darkness.The player exclaimed in a low voice and became alert.

"The quality of this batch of humans is not very good."

"Hey! Master Jesse is also among the humans."

"His bad taste again?"

"Because there was an extra human, Klaus went to hunt wild food. I really envy him, and I can't wait."

……

The devil's whispers were mixed together, and Qiao Le could barely hear a few words. The ground under his feet seemed to be turning. He suddenly felt bad, and according to the angle before the darkness, he grabbed Zero's hand.

In this dungeon, apart from himself, he can only trust zero.

At least Zero will never be a demon.

The man's palm was wide and hot, his fingers were long and slender, and his fingertips were soft and smooth without any calluses. Qiao Le felt something was wrong at first, and wanted to let go, but was held back by the other hand.

Fingers crossed, unable to separate.

"I'm sorry, I found the mistake—" Halfway through the words, the lights suddenly turned on.

The boy was wearing a white suit and a black mask. He was pure and noble, like a little prince in a fairy tale world. Beside him, the black-haired and black-eyed Yixi clenched her hands in bewilderment and looked at him pitifully.

Qiao Le rubbed his forehead in embarrassment, sure enough he found the wrong person.

"Monster?" Ishi leaned over, resting her head on the boy's shoulder, her lips touched the soft earlobe intentionally or unintentionally when speaking, "We seem to want to dance together?"

Qiao Le glanced around.

Ten players, with a bit of luck, grabbed their companions and temporarily formed a team.If you are unlucky, you will face the devil directly.

And the person he was looking for happened to be in the center of the ballroom.

Zero is wearing a black suit, with Jole's white rose mask on his face, which looks a little out of place, and his partner is a blond demon.

The devil was wearing a gorgeous white suit with straight trouser legs, wide shoulders and narrow waist, and a delicate red rose stuck in the chest pocket.

His jaw line is smooth, his eyes are deep scarlet, and he wears a white rose mask on his face.

Same style as zero.The two men who were about the same height looked at each other, and parted their hands like an electric shock, their expressions on each other's faces were ugly.

Due to the short distance, Qiao Le vaguely heard a few words.

"mask…"

zero: "Accident...success..."

"Humanity……"

One person, one demon, swords drawn.

It seems that in the next second, they will fight.

On the right side of the ballroom, the band played music.When the note sounded, the people on the dance floor, whether they were players or demons, took the first dance step.

oh!Except for the two evil gods in the middle.

Because women's dance steps are more difficult, Yixi is in charge of relatively simple male dance steps. Qiao Le holds his hand and rests his right hand on the man's thin shoulder. The two are intimate and dance gracefully.

Two lines of sight looked over at the same time, as sharp as a sharp knife.

Yixi shivered, and moved closer to Qiao Le. He whimpered twice, his eyes were wet: "Their eyes are so scary, Monster."

"It's okay." Qiao Le comforted him, "Concentrate on dancing."

"Okay." He sniffled, "I'll listen to you."

In a trance, Qiao Le really had the illusion that he was raising a dog, and couldn't help laughing out: "Well, good." His facial features are exquisite, and the mask can't hide the temperament around him.

The devil in the banquet center looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, with salivating eyes.

The music is half over.

The two people in the center still did not act.

Qiao Le muttered: "Is it really okay not to dance?"

There was no way for him to ask about this situation. In addition, Yixi was not familiar with dancing, so he fell on him several times and needed his advice to pass the test.

There was no other way, Qiao Le could only focus on her dance partner.

zero: "..."

Blonde demon: "...just a human being."

"A mere devil." Zero replied, stretched out his hand, and asked coldly, "Dancing?"

"..."

The demon immediately avoided the body in disgust, and his disgust was beyond words.

"At least in this regard, we have the same goal." Zero nodded in satisfaction. He had made an invitation, but his partner refused. Even if he blamed it, it had nothing to do with him.

The blond devil also thought of this, and he said coldly: "You dance."

"I am a man."

"Me too."

"..."

Negotiations fell apart.

The two of them were tall, powerful, and handsome, which inevitably attracted a lot of attention.One of the petite female players was unfortunately assigned a demon with a height of [-] meters as a dance partner.

There is a full seventy centimeters difference in height.

In order to dance, she has to stand on tiptoe in order to make the correct movements.

Being exhausted, she accidentally stepped on the devil's toes, her heart trembled, and she said with fear on her face, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

The light above her head was so dazzling that her eyes were blurred with white patches, and she couldn't see the demon's expression clearly.

The white, sharp, pointed teeth were parted, revealing scarlet gums.

The player flicked his feet and made another wrong move.

At this moment, she was about to despair, she closed her eyes tremblingly, waiting for death to come. After 30 seconds, the demon does not move.

Are you okay?The player almost cried out.

In the next second, the music ends.

The devil's rough and wide palm, in the relaxed expression of the rest of her life, suddenly inserted into the woman's soft chest, blood burst out, the heart was connected to the soul, and they were caught in the palm of the devil together.

"how come……"

Blood overflowed from the corner of the woman's mouth, her still warm body was lying on the ground, her eyes closed forever.

Qiao Le clenched the corners of his mouth, and the ugly appearance of the devil was reflected in his pupils.The other party opened his mouth wide, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the base of his ears, the tip of his tongue popped out like a snake, curling up his heart.

"Creak creak...creak..."

"Mumble."

The devil swallowed the fresh heart in one gulp, and let out a disgusted 'pooh': "A tasteless soul."

"A delicious soul needs to be cultivated." The enchanting female demon covered the lower half of her face with a folding fan, and gave the demon a disgusted look, "Boris, you idiot."

The devil didn't reply, and stared at Qiao Le blankly.

Moved his gaze down, looked around, saw the rose bracelet, and retracted his gaze regretfully.

The maids handled the corpses and bloodstains swiftly. In just 3 minutes, the ballroom returned to calm. The demons were drinking and chatting, but they were actually looking at the players all the time.

The sweet smell of blood made Qiao Le uncomfortable, especially the scene of digging out his heart just now, which always made him think of himself involuntarily.

"It seems...we are food." The boy whispered.

"Monster." Ish called his name, and leaned against the boy tremblingly, the sweet milky smell permeated his nose, he sniffled and moved closer.

Everything happened so suddenly.

The players stood there stupidly, and after a while, they gathered together with ugly faces, winked at each other, and hid in the corner.

Qiao Le wanted to leave, but the blond demon, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Monster." The boy turned around with vigilant eyes.

The demon came over, flicking his fingers.

Yixi suddenly fell into the distance like a ball.Qiao Le was startled by the strength shown by the other party, and his eyelashes trembled slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Do you like it? A rose bracelet."

Qiao Le didn't know why, so he chose the words of panacea: "It's okay."

The man chuckled, and looked up at Zero who was about to come from a distance of two meters. He touched the boy's soft cheek with his fingers, lowered his head, and said softly, "If you need anything, you are welcome to come to the divination room to find me."

"You..." Qiao Le was stunned.

"You must have a lot of questions in your heart." The blond devil smiled and disappeared into the ballroom.

zero: "What did he say?"

"Let me find him when I need it." Without waiting for Zero's admonition, Qiao Le shook his head again, "I'm not an idiot, how could I fall into the trap of myself."

Demons treat humans as food, so how can they really help food?

The biggest possibility, according to what the female devil said before - a delicious soul needs to be cultivated.Why do you treat yourself differently?

Are you hungry for your body?

No!Obviously, it is greedy for his soul power as high as [-].

Qiao Le nodded firmly in her heart.

"..." Zero was silent for three seconds, the corners of his lips slightly turned up, as if trying to suppress a smile, "That's right, we must be alert to the devil's trap."

"You should also be careful, you didn't dance just now, will you be okay?"

"do not worry."

"The demon's strength is indeed very strong." Qiao Le rubbed his chin, pondering, "The move he just made, throwing Ixi out with a whoosh, was it teleportation?"

"Well." Zero explained, "After the lights went out, he should have teleported the player."

"So that's the case." Qiao Le nodded thoughtfully. Three seconds later, he suddenly realized something, "Wait! If that's the case, does he want to eat you?"

"?"

"Deliberately teleported you over, danced and danced wrong, and tried to eat your soul." The young man looked serious, "The blond demon just now is probably after you, zero, you have to be careful."

Zero: "...OK."

The two walked to the corner, and the players kept a distance of more than one meter from each other, embanking each other.When Yixi saw Qiao Le, she rushed over immediately. After being stopped by Zero, she pitifully called Qiao Le's name: "Monster."

"keep distance."

"It doesn't matter to me, I'm not a demon." Ishi pursed her mouth, "I've shown my own tarot card before, and I'm a magician."

He made a serious analysis: "Xuehua's Tarot card is the moon. Of the eleven people, two died. Xuehua and I ruled out. The devil is among the remaining seven."

"Compared to other people, I think Zero is more like a demon." Yixi looked at the man from below, there was no timidity in his eyes, but calmness, "Only demons have such powerful strength."

zero: "Not me."

Yixi: "Of course the devil will not admit his identity."

"It shouldn't be zero." A surviving male player raised his hand, "He is very famous in Paradise. I followed his live broadcast, and this face is right."

"But demons can change their appearance and figure." Yixi pointed to the maid in the banquet hall, "All demons have horns, but none of us eleven have horns. If we become celebrities, we won't be suspected."

The male player was dumbfounded and unsure: "It seems to make sense."

"It's not zero." Qiao Le stood up, "I believe him."

"Monster?" Yixi's eyes widened. She was full of confidence before, and the temperament of pointing Jiangshan disappeared suddenly. She scratched her hair hesitantly, and whispered: "Since you said so, then I believe you..."

"That's not necessarily true, the devil likes you very much, and Zero has always taken care of you..."
