Global Trial

People are missing?

Did someone disappear just after entering this level?

Xia Mingdong was silent for a moment, then used the trial system to send a message to Cen Heng: Try to find out what's going on

Cen Heng nodded, expressing his understanding, and immediately went over to inquire.

Xia Mingdong restrained his smile, and said to Ning Ge and Ren Sheng in a low voice: "The matter is not simple, this time we don't know exactly where the danger is in the checkpoint, pay more attention to find it."

After a while, Cen Heng came back and said to them: "It's very strange, Ke Lanti said that they thought there might be clues in the villa, so they searched separately and agreed on a gathering time, but a person named Puna hadn't come back by the time. "

"Have you looked for it?"

"They searched around the villa together, but they didn't see anyone."

Xia Mingdong pondered for a moment, "Did anything special happen before Puna disappeared?"

"They all acted separately and the others didn't know if anything in particular happened."

Xia Mingdong said to the others: "We try not to act separately, at least two or two teams, otherwise we may encounter unknown dangers."

Ning Ge nodded.

"Let's try to go to the study room and the outside tonight. I think there should be clues in these places." Xia Mingdong warned: "After the dinner time, we will go back to the room and rest, and we will act again at twelve o'clock in the evening."

Ren Sheng asked: "Do we need to split up and act in groups of two? This way the efficiency will be higher."

"what do you mean?"

"You go to the study with Ning Ge. It seems that the study needs to use your brains. Cen Heng and I will go outside to have a look." Ren Sheng said: "This is efficient, this place is very dangerous, let's leave as soon as possible."

Xia Mingdong thought there was nothing wrong with it, as it would save time and improve efficiency, he looked at Cen Heng and asked his opinion: "Is this okay?"

In fact, Cen Heng still wants to act with four people, and follow the two big guys to hug the two big thick legs tightly. There are more people and more strength.

But rationally speaking, it is indeed too big a goal to act like this, and it is a waste of resources.

He looked at Ren Sheng unwillingly, and said, "Okay, then I will go with Ren Sheng."

"Okay." Xia Mingdong explained: "Be careful, use the trial system to keep in touch at all times, and ask me immediately if there is anything wrong."

Cen Heng nodded.

Xia Mingdong and Ning Ge entered the villa first, Ren Sheng walked up to Cen Heng and asked calmly, "You don't want to be with me?"

"No." Cen Heng immediately shook his head with interest.

No matter how you say it, it is still a thigh. Although it may not be as good as Xia Mingdong in intelligence, and Ning Ge in terms of force, but it is worse than him in every aspect. "I am very happy to be on the same team as you."

Ren Sheng said bluntly: "You are not happy at all."

Cen Heng: "..."

Between people, oh no, is there no even the most basic trust between people and Gu Mu?

"But it can only be like this." Ren Sheng's expression was as silent as ever. If he didn't speak, he was a person with a low sense of existence. "Don't be impulsive tonight."

"Okay, no problem." Cen Heng agreed wholeheartedly.

Xia Mingdong walked into the villa with Ning Ge, the hall of the villa was still empty and nothing could be seen, Ning Ge asked him: "Do you want to look around?"

Xia Mingdong glanced at the time, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, one hour before dinner, you can look around.

Although he may not be able to eat dinner, he will definitely appear in front of the dining table. Since the dinner time is clearly stated, it has other meanings.

"Look behind the villa."

The area of ​​the villa is generally large and the terrain is high. Xia Mingdong and Ning Ge walked to the back of the villa.

There is a beautiful maple leaf forest in the back. Autumn is a good time for maple leaves. Looking far and wide, there is a kind of poignant magnificence with a little dark red.

Ning Ge said suddenly: "There are also traces of trampling here."

"where?"

Ning Ge pointed to several places, "Here, and here, it seems that the same person stepped on it."

He paused, and then said, "There are a few marks that seem to have been stepped on just now."

Just stepped on it?

Xia Mingdong thought of the missing Puna.

The maple leaf forest stretches as far as the eye can see, without end.

It was already five forty in the afternoon.

Xia Mingdong said decisively: "Let's go back to the villa first, and talk about the footprints here tomorrow, maybe we will see more."

Ning Ge nodded and walked back to the villa with him.

Cen Heng asked Ren Cheng silently from behind: "Did you understand anything? Anyway, I didn't see anything."

Ren Sheng sniffed and said, "There is more than one person's smell here, and I have smelled one of them before."

Cen Heng: "???"

Dare he be the only one in the team?

This feeling is really speechless.

When the four of them returned to the villa, the atmosphere was very dignified. It was already [-]:[-] in the evening, and the aroma of toasted bread and steak wafted in the villa.

Cen Heng couldn't help sucking his nose, subconsciously secreting saliva.

They have been eating tasteless nutrient solution for N days in a row, and now they will unconsciously salivate when they smell food full of artificial cooking aroma.

Xia Mingdong is not immune either, he was a gourmet fanatic before there was no virtual earth, but he no longer has the enjoyment of gourmet food when he arrives on the virtual earth.

In fact, there are some delicious foods that were common on Earth in the past, but they are too expensive, and their current points are not so luxurious, so he has not changed them.

Now that he smelled it, he couldn't help sniffing it.

Cen Heng asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, is this food edible?"

Xia Mingdong asked blankly: "What do you think?"

Cen Heng: "...Okay, I know, it's not edible."

Because there is no free lunch in the world of trials.

The aroma of food drifted closer and closer, and two young women in long skirts came out from the aisle behind the restaurant.

The woman walking in front looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, petite and cute.

The woman in the back is a completely different type, tall and tall, full of royal sister style.

The two put the plates on the dining table and walked away without saying a word.

The butler came out from the room on the side of the hall, looked at them with a smile, and said to them as if he didn't notice that one of the twelve testers was missing: "Good evening, everyone, welcome to dinner."

No one among the testers answered him. Kelanti's group was short of people, and everyone was tense, like a frightened bird. They hardly communicated with Xia Mingdong and the others.

The blue-faced, long-toothed and unusually silent and indifferent master walked down from the second floor, Xia Mingdong deliberately paid attention to the other's footsteps, remembering which room was the study room.

Butler: "In order to welcome guests from afar, we specially prepared a fun easter egg game for you. After completing the fun game, you can taste delicious food. I hope you like it."

Xia Mingdong twitched the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "I guess the food this time can be eaten."

Cen Heng was surprised: "Really, why can I eat it?"

"Because it's not for nothing." Xia Mingdong said "hehe" to the housekeeper's words, "Do you think the egg game is easy?"

Cen Heng: "... makes sense."

"Let me talk about the rules of the easter egg game. There are two levels in the easter egg game. The first level requires the guests to pass the challenge of me, the cook, the maid or the groom. The guests come from three different places. The guests from each place are regarded as a group, and the group is the unit. If they pass, they will be considered as all members, and if they fail, they will not pass.”

At some point, the groom came in from the hall and stood in the shadow not far away.

"In the second level, each group needs to answer the questions I asked, and if you answer three of the five questions correctly, you will pass."

Cen Heng muttered softly: "So difficult? We can choose not to have dinner."

"Oh, that's right." The butler seemed to be able to hear what Cen Heng was saying, "Master does not welcome you to eat other food, because the master will feel that we have not treated you well, and he will be very unhappy. The owner is not happy, and we don't know what he will do."

Although the butler kept smiling, his words were utterly threatening.

In the silence, Xia Mingdong asked: "Do you have to pass this test every time before eating?"

"That's not necessary." The butler said: "You only need to pass once to prove that you have the strength to be guests of the villa."

"Okay, I see, thank you."

The "easter egg game" set up by the trial system is obviously based on teams, with four people in each team. If they pass, they all pass, and if they fail, they don't pass. Obviously, the four people are regarded as a whole.

"Next, please choose the challenge object for each group. One person can only accept one group of challenges. The faster you can have the priority to choose."

"Wait a minute." Xia Mingdong interrupted the butler, "Sorry, I just want to ask, does the owner of the villa not participate in the selection of guests?"

The butler's expression seemed to freeze for a moment, probably because he didn't expect someone to ask such a question.

The other two groups looked at him with different expressions, obviously surprised that Xia Mingdong, a practitioner, had such a strange way of thinking.

Cen Heng looked at the surprised expressions of the two groups of people next to him, and felt an inexplicable sense of superiority, that kind of feeling: mortals, you will never understand what is going on in this weird and clever mind of the fourth child

Although he didn't understand it either, he was used to accepting it.

"Sorry, I'm afraid this won't work." The butler replied with a stiff smile, "The host is honorable and doesn't accept guests."

Not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xia Mingdong shrugged and said in a low voice: "It looks like this master is like a marionette imprisoned by you."

Butler: "...Please ask the guests to choose who they want to challenge within 5 minutes."

Kollanti was the first to point to the petite woman and said, "I want to challenge her."

Looking at the expression, it looks like a persimmon is just looking for a soft pinch. After all, among the four people who can challenge, the maid is indeed the safest and harmless one.

The butler nodded, "Okay, welcome to challenge the maid."

Ning Ge signaled Xia Mingdong with his eyes.

Xia Mingdong pointed to the butler and said, "Challenge him."

Qin Fu from the college student group next to him chose to challenge the silent groom who looked like a shadow man.

Ning Ge said directly: "Challenge the steward."

The butler raised his gray eyebrows in surprise, "It's my honor, please."

Afterwards, the housekeeper saw only two people from Xia Mingdong's team coming out. Cen Heng looked left and right, and felt that although his talent was not good, he had developed muscles in the gym anyway, and he could barely play. He was the 2.5th person .

Xia Mingdong had no intention of going up at all.

He has a clear understanding of his strength. The strength of an otaku is only 0.5 of a goose, and Ning Ge needs to take care to protect him.

So he still won't go, DARK doesn't have to.

Seeing that Xia Mingdong didn't move, the housekeeper thought that the other party didn't understand the rules, so he repeated: "Four guests can serve together."

Xia Mingdong said calmly: "Oh no, we don't like bullying the few with the more."

The butler looked at the three people standing in front of him and was speechless.

This is called not liking to bully the few with the more?

I really don't like it, what are the three of you doing? !

These sanctimonious guys.

The author has something to say:

Xia Mingdong and Ning Ge are big men with intelligence and the other with force

Cen Heng is like an ordinary person trying to survive in the last days

Ren Sheng seems to be an uncommon but not uncommon master of doomsday survival, reliable and convincing
