Help, I've become a paper man

The seven maids each held a tray of similar color and style, with the same lottery tubes on it. As they walked slowly forward, they showed them to everyone. However, the lighting was not bright enough, so the difference could not be seen with the naked eye.

The Duke said, "There will be a game tomorrow and I would like to invite you all to participate."

She said this and gestured for them to come in. The maid walked to their side and stopped. The head maid stepped forward and continued:

"Dear guests, before we start drawing lots, I want you to know that in tomorrow's game, everyone will be divided into two teams to play an interesting little game. Guests who are interested in this, please note that there are two different kinds of lots in the lot holders next to you. People holding the same lot will become teammates in the game."

Song Yi raised his hand and asked, "Sorry to interrupt. We each have our own lottery tubes. The lottery that is drawn is only the one in our own lottery tube. The number of lottery in other people's lottery tubes remains unchanged. Is there a situation where the difference in the number of people in the two teams is too large?"

What a reassuring childhood privilege, he now feels safe speaking.

The head maid smiled at him and said, "Yes, it takes fate for people to be together. Now we know that this fate also comes with risks. Whether you are willing to participate in the game is up to you."

The more detailed she described it, the more it seemed that everything before their eyes was a carefully prepared performance, and this performance had begun as soon as they entered the dungeon.

In this case, knowing the risks, they had no choice but to participate in the game. If they missed the obvious plot points, no one knew what would happen. For a moment, the seven of them stopped where they were. After a few seconds, Song Yi was the first to reach into the lottery box.

The touch was not "wet and slippery" as he had imagined. Instead, his fingertips touched the dry and warm wooden stick. He pinched the wooden stick, pulled it out and held it in front of him under the gaze of everyone around him.

There was a circle at the top, and a sense of familiarity instantly came over him, and Song Yi remembered the draw in the previous copy.

While he was staring at the pattern, the others drew their lots one by one. The plot was not over yet, so he glanced at Jasmine, but it was not convenient for him to ask about the copy right away.

Jasmine noticed his gaze and understood it to mean something else. She glanced at the lot in his hand and then nodded, telling him not to worry, they were the same.

Becoming teammates is indeed a way for them to put each other at ease. Although most dungeons will not divide players who enter in a team into two teams, Song Yi believes in Noah's Ark very much. This stingy system can do anything.

In less than two minutes, everyone got their lot. The head maid came up again and announced, "The drawing is over. I'm glad that everyone can choose their own destiny. Congratulations to the guests for getting the camp that suits them."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand, held up a circle-shaped stick, and said, "Please come to my right hand side if you have a full-moon stick."

Song Yi and Jasmine looked at each other and walked to her side. The boy followed silently and stood beside Song Yi. The distance was close enough, even too close for a stranger, so that Song Yi subconsciously lowered his head to look over with a bit of doubt in his eyes.

The boy didn't look at him, his eyes stayed on the head maid.

The head maid raised her other hand and showed a wooden stick between her fingers. On it was a crescent-shaped pattern. She said:

"Please come to my left side if you have a low health sign."

The young man glanced at the boy, still with a worried expression on his face, and slowly walked towards the head maid. Xia Hao, who started half a step slower than him, arrived at the position first. When he arrived, he silently took the second place.

The remaining two people were still in another place. When the head maid looked over, she lowered her hands. The full moon hid in her palm for a moment and then disappeared without a trace. The remaining wooden stick flew between her fingers and turned easily.

She said: "Team members of the Cang Yue group, please return to the team as soon as possible."

Rather than urging, there is more of a sense of interest in watching the fun in his words, and by saying "as soon as possible" it is obvious that he hopes the other party will continue to delay.

Jian Nuanyang had a sour face, still looking like a problem girl. She looked at Li Yuan and said, "Let's go."

Li Yuan still stood there, his expression somewhat stiff, the corners of his lips twitching, he tried to force a smile several times, but ultimately failed. Jian Nuanyang saw the problem, she raised her voice and said, "What do you mean by signing? Don't you know it?"

Her tone and expression were as bad, but she still stood next to Li Yuan and did not move forward. After waiting for a few seconds, she even leaned over to take a look. Li Yuan's hand trembled and he held the sign in his arms, but he was a step slow, and Jian Nuanyang still saw the sign.

Jian Nuanyang's expression became even worse. When he looked at the head maid, he asked, "What do you mean, there is a third team?"

The head maid did not answer, but a smile instantly broke out on her face. It was obvious that she had heard the other person's words clearly and even understood the meaning. Two seconds later, her voice rang out with a contented joy.

"Oh," she exclaimed, then blinked and lowered her voice to a softer tone, as if she was telling a fairy tale, and said softly: "Someone actually drew a blank lottery ticket. Congratulations, you have won the lottery, and you don't have to participate in the game tomorrow."

There's an indescribable weirdness to it.

Li Yuan finally calmed down at this point, clasped his hands together, and sensed a turning point. He asked tentatively: "If I want to participate in the competition normally, what should I do?"

The head maid said, "If you insist on participating, you can choose an opponent now to compete with you and win the other party's lot."

Her tone returned to normal, no different from before, but it made it even more obvious that there was something wrong with the previous sentence, and it didn't seem like a normal bye.

For a moment, the field returned to silence, and this time the pressure was given to Li Yuan.

But how can it be just that?

The head maid looked at Jian Nuanyang again and said, "My guest, you haven't joined the team yet. Are you not going to participate in the game and are you going to give the sign to her?"

Along with these words, Li Yuan also looked at Jian Nuanyang. Now everyone could hear that there was something wrong with the "game". It was hard to tell whether it was better to participate or not.

Jian Nuanyang asked: "Do you want to participate?"

As she spoke, she looked at Li Yuan with a calm expression, and a little less aggressive than before. Li Yuan had originally been tempted, but after hearing her question, the thought that had just arisen was hidden again.

After all, it’s an exaggeration to say that the two knew each other. They just met for the first time in the dungeon. Li Yuan first proposed to Jian Nuanyang to live together, and then took the initiative to unbind them. With such a relationship, it’s good enough that they don’t become enemies. Why would he put himself in danger for the other person?

Li Yuan's suspicious look was too direct, Jian Nuanyang sneered and said, "If you don't trust my lottery, you can also go and win someone else's lottery."

After she finished speaking, she did not leave immediately, but continued to wait for Li Yuan to make a choice.

Half a minute later, the two were still there, and the head maid spoke again: "The guests who drew the lot, please return to your team."

This time, Jian Nuanyang did not hesitate any more. He turned around and walked to the left side of the head maid. He did not look back, but his expression became even colder.

The head maid smiled and looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Sir, have you found the target you want to choose? Or are you more willing to accept your fate and give up the challenge?"
