This villain, please exercise some restraint.

When mentioning A-kun, the brown-haired girl immediately fell silent.

To be honest, she and Xu Xuzi didn't know this person in real life, but he was quite active in the "Flutterlight" family chat group they were in.

Just by looking at his speech, he looks like a sunny and cheerful boy.

Even when the previous official copy - Challenge from the Fool was launched, many members of the "Fluttering Light" family, including myself, were taken flying by Akun.

Akun is very strong, and this is recognized by the "Yuoguang" family.

Akun has a very good personality and is easy to talk to, which is also recognized by the members of "Yaoguang".

It can be said that this person, a few days ago, was the thigh of the "Flutterlight" family, but now...not anymore.

"Xiao Cai, think about that traitor A Kun. No one found him to be a guy with a beastly face before, and they all regarded him as a friend. Until a few days ago, he took advantage of our trust and swept away almost all of our lives like a whirlwind. All the experience points, and then...gone."

"That's what we accumulated bit by bit... Thinking about it now, when he jumped from the shaky 'Dark Night' family to 'Yuoguang', and brought with him a huge sum of money from unknown sources... there was a big problem. ."

Taking a long breath, the girl with short yellow hair lowered her voice, feeling a little unhappy.

"It's better now, and Fluctilizer—is also shaky."

"...Xu Xuzi..."

The brown-haired girl turned to look at her best friend and opened her mouth. She wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.

"Don't be sad...Xu Xuzi, everything...everything will be fine."

In the end, she only said this sentence.

......

The place of trial—Ten Thousand Gu Tower.

"Control, all red token holders have been recalled by me... Do your people need to be recalled?"

"Mian" looked at Jiejie beside him. The screams from the ants under the tower were endless, falling in his ears, but they were much more beautiful than pure music.

"Mian" narrowed his eyes with enjoyment.

Under the control cloak, dark eyes looked at the purgatory-like first floor of the Ten Thousand Gu Tower.

From his perspective, many people below were attacked by restless insects as soon as they entered the tower, and then their entire bodies were eaten away by a steady stream of insects at a very fast speed.

It looked like a tragic scene, but he knew very well that these insects could not really kill these people.

But okay, he didn't expect these little bugs in the first place.

These summoned token holders only use their flesh and blood to provide "nutrients" for the creatures here.

However, survival of the fittest in nature is the same, even for bugs and token holders.

Those bugs that die at the hands of the token holder will also become nourishment for the "companions".

He could clearly feel that the protagonist group was mixed among the ants on the first floor of the Ten Thousand Gu Tower.

From this point of view, the "sleep" token still worked.

After all, the condition for opening the Ten Thousand Gu Tower is that each of the three protagonists holds a token.

If the prey does not appear in this world, "Mian" will not open the Ten Thousand Gu Tower.

"recall."

Temperance spread out his palms, and in his palms crawled three bugs the size of rice grains, with their bodies turning black.

It's slave Gu.

"Mian" glanced at the woman standing on the other side of Temperance.

The fingertips hidden in the cuffs moved slightly, and the woman stepped forward stiffly, reaching out to take the slave Gu in Temperance's hand.

Almost at the next moment, a slightly short figure appeared next to Mian.

The girl stared at the token in her hand, raised her head, and looked at the people present, with a rare look of confusion on her face.

"...Why did sister come here suddenly?"

Her eyes swept over the boy in red, the exotic girl beside him, and the woman with a stiff expression. Finally, she fixed her gaze on the mysterious cloaked monster.

But this time, she saw clearly.

Except for the stiff-looking woman present, whether it was "Mian" with her upright posture and sultry eyes, Ah Qiao next to him, or Temperance, these few - all were NPCs.

This couldn't help but make her a little confused. Why was the last time she saw Temperance and Ah Qiao, their information was blank?

Is there some... special hidden method? Are NPCs so smart now?

This doubt flashed through her mind.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes today, she would never have thought that the so-called "temperance" was an NPC.

"You came."

"Mian" smiled, glanced at the unresponsive Jiejie, and took the initiative to speak.

"I am--"

"I know... you are Mian, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

Mo Ling'er raised her head and looked at the young man in red who came to her. She was always quick to answer questions.

"Tell me, what is the hidden mission? Is it to help the players on the first floor to eliminate those bugs?"

"I understand, I understand. No wonder you asked Ah Qiao to test me with bugs. It turns out... was it just for this moment?!"

She lowered her head, took two steps forward, came to Jiejie thoughtfully, and looked down. How similar was the experience of the players below now to when she was in Tianji Pavilion?

The walls of the tower, the ground, and even where she was standing at this moment were all covered with insects.

But the difference was that on the second floor where they were standing, the insects seemed to be... asleep, lying motionless in the rock crevices.

Only those who have witnessed the madness of the bugs on the first floor can understand how docile the bugs on the second floor of this tower are.

One movement and one silence, inexplicably inconsistent.

"You want to tell me that in the first level, even though the insect swarm is huge and the number is terrifying, as long as we grasp the core, there is still room for change!"

"Temperance...you really do...have good intentions."

At this moment, the girl was finally willing to look away from the purgatory on the first floor and looked at Jiejie, who was still silent beside her. The excitement was clearly visible in her eyes.

She was a little lucky to have escaped from Adi's team early, otherwise, there might be her shadow among the cannon fodder below.

It doesn't matter if she dies, but those crazy bugs may cause serious wear and tear on her precious weapon.

When "Mian" heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiejie with a little surprise on his face.

The girl's statement really surprised him.

He did not hide the matter of arranging the Ten Thousand Gu Tower from Control, and even the key "core", Control was aware of it.

What do you think of the girl? Father... seems to have leaked the key point——

This... is completely unnecessary.

For a moment, he couldn't understand the idea of ​​moderation.

With eyes that were either excited and expecting, dull or numb, or surprised and suspicious, I kept silent.

Although he had been silent before because he felt there was no need to communicate, the girl's strange association ability really silenced him this time.

He never realized that he had such... "good intentions".

Just...ridiculous.
