The Trial Game of Life

Before this day, the players of Eternal Night City never thought that Mr. Crow could also be defeated.He has always been so superior, taunting the players with a funny tone and a naughty attitude, but no one can do anything to him.

Because in everyone's hearts, Mr. Crow represents the will of Eternal Night City, and the "Mr. Crow's Blacklist" hanging high in the game hall is the best proof.

Isn't there a crow in "Song of Gods, Lambs and Crows"?How could such a Mr. Crow be offended by the player?

But the fact gave them a loud slap in the face.

Xiao Tong was also a little surprised, he took action against Mr. Crow just to keep the breath in his heart, and he didn't hold much hope in fact.But the scene of Mr. Crow being beaten back and forth, even bleeding from his wings, made him suddenly understand—it's not that Mr. Crow cannot be defeated, but that the previous players didn't dare at all.

If no one has tried it, no one will know the truth.

"Gah!" A bloody feather fell from the sky, and Mr. Crow was so angry that he ran away injured.When he left, he still uttered harsh words like before, but how could the players with their mouths open wide and their eyes in a daze, have time to pay attention?

"What did I just see?"

"Pinch me, pinch me!"

"God—"

"Is Mr. Crow so weak?! Is he just a long-haired beast? Is it that easy to beat him?"

"..."

All kinds of doubts took root in everyone's hearts.

Players can't spy on Mr. Crow and don't know where he is hiding, but this doesn't prevent them from guessing when Mr. Crow will appear.Of course, some players sharply pointed out: "I don't think it's that simple, it's because of Xiao Tong's actions. Xiao Tong is the warden, and his authority is greater than that of ordinary players. It's not that he can cause harm to Mr. Crow. It’s hard to understand, right? If we change it, it won’t necessarily be the case.”

Such a statement has received some support, but it is an indisputable fact that Mr. Crow has been injured.

The news spread ten or ten times, and it spread quickly.

Everyone looked at Yan Yun more and more eagerly.Because of Mr. Crow's escape, Yan Yun had no obstacles, and moved faster, and appeared on the long street leading to Gift Mountain in the blink of an eye.

There are still 800 meters away from the destination.

Yan Yun walked firmly and calmly, after more than a dozen games, he had already suffered many injuries.The cuffs are torn, the shoulders are bloody, and the hair is a little messy, but his eyes can make you believe——

Believe him, victory is at hand.

He clearly wore Rong Yi's face, but he seemed to be a completely different person.

If Rong Yi is low-key and introverted, he looks ordinary, but there is a universe inside.That Yan Yun put the vastness of the universe on the bright side, so that you can see his sharpness at a glance.

The clown squatted on the gift mountain, exaggeratedly holding his cheeks, and raised his voice to the people around him: "Is my first guest coming soon? The players in this class are so bold. I heard Mr. Crow swearing, it was really loud."

With these words, I don't know who he is mocking.

As Yan Yun approached step by step, the players all spontaneously made way for him.After arriving at the foot of the gift mountain, Yan Yun slightly nodded at the clown, and asked with a smile, "Is it possible to exchange rewards here?"

The clown grinned, "Yes, if you collect five points, you can have the right to pick apples once. How many do you have?"

Yan Yun: "No more, no less, exactly fifteen."

"Wow." The clown exclaimed sincerely, "This player is really good. He has collected fifteen points in such a short period of time. Fifteen points can be exchanged for three chances. Are you ready?" ?”

After the words fell, the players around were more excited than Yan Yun.

Almost every player who steps into the central area can see the bamboo poles that are as long as the sky ladder, and the apples hanging from the clouds. Five points are exchanged for a chance to pick apples. Needless to say, there must be a big gift among them.

In fact, some people in the crowd had collected five points, but the game in Eternal Night City was full of pitfalls, and no one was willing to be the first bird, so they waited for Yanyun.

"I'm ready." Yan Yun said simply.

"Then please." The clown stood up and reached out to pull out the bamboo pole inserted on the top of the gift mountain.After a few ups and downs, Yan Yun reached the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, stood on a huge purple gift box, and took the bamboo pole handed by the clown.

He weighed the bamboo pole, and suddenly a poem sounded, and he couldn't help reading it out: "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked with your hands. Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at the clown, and asked, "You said that above the clouds, is anyone watching now?"

The clown shrugged and spread his hands, "How do I know this? Is there anyone else on the cloud?"

Yan Yun didn't expect to get an answer from him at all, he looked up at the cloud, his eyes seemed to see through the thick clouds to see the scene above the clouds clearly.

What will be there?

Will there be a fairyland-like palace, or an empty cliff?

God, where are you going now?

Is he still watching them?

Thinking of this, Yan Yun finally raised the long bamboo pole, and used the small net bag tied to the top of the bamboo pole to reach the apple hanging from the cloud.The height and size of each apple are different, the taller the bigger, the redder, the more attractive it looks.

But the bamboo pole was too long, and there was still wind in the sky. With a slight movement of Yan Yun's hand, the net bag could deviate dozens of meters.Enough several times, he didn't even touch the edge of the apple.

"Every chance is only 5 minutes." The clown was still squatting, holding his face in his hands.He seemed particularly fond of this hands-on.

"Right, a little bit to the right."

"Hey, it's way too far!"

"Left!"

"left!"

"To the right, go a little further to the right... Oh, it's over!"

The players were all excited, even if they didn't make a sound, they secretly clenched their fists.Such a picture of united will is like returning to the world.

Xiao Tong also watched Yan Yun's every move from a distance, and if Yan Yun made any changes, he might strike immediately.Looking around, Meng Zhen and other red list players also appeared.

Tang Cuo looked down at the time, it was 59:[-] p.m.

Jin Cheng's bet has already been won.He made a bet in the tavern, betting that Yanyun could arrive at Gift Mountain before eight o'clock, and that alone would make a lot of money.

But 5 minutes passed in the blink of an eye, but Yan Yun didn't catch an apple.

The players couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, but Yan Yun remained unmoved.He quickly used his second chance, but this time, he still got nothing.

"Don't keep thinking about picking the biggest and most popular one!" Everyone saw the crux of the problem.There are so many apples hanging on it, but Yanyun wants the best one, what is the success rate?

But Yan Yun turned a deaf ear, still looking at the highest place, and quickly used the third chance.

"It won't fail again, will it?"

"Greedy is not enough to swallow the elephant. If you pick the small apples at the bottom, you may have three chances. The apples at the top are almost bigger than the net bag, and you may not be able to pick them if you get caught..."

Amidst the divergent opinions, some players covered their eyes and looked with their fingers, as if they couldn't bear to see such a good opportunity go to waste.But Yanyun is still that Yanyun.

Holding the bamboo pole, he focused on the net bag on the top of the bamboo pole, moving it little by little.The wind was blowing and everyone was talking, but none of them could distract him.

Finally, at No. 13 minutes, with a twist of his wrist, the net bag swaying in the wind finally hooked an apple.

Everyone held their breath and widened their eyes to see.I saw Yan Yun exerting force in his hands, the net bag quickly covered the big red apple, and with a strong tug, the apple was pulled down, drawing a beautiful arc in the air——

"Crack." It fell into Yan Yun's open palm.

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

Yan Yun smiled slightly, turned to look at the clown, "I picked the apple, where is my reward?"

The clown patted his butt and stood up, picked up the apple and saw the number on the bottom, and said, "Wait."

He turned around and rummaged in the mountain of gifts, found the other end from one end, and disappeared into the mountain after a while, only seeing the gift box surging.Everyone couldn't help stretching their necks to watch, and in the next second, they saw the clown coming out from the mountainside again, holding a big gift box in his hand, and throwing it to Yan Yun.

"Found it, let's go!"

In anticipation, Yan Yun directly opened the gift box.

Even Tang Cuo couldn't help staring.Yan Yun's smile gave him a sense of confidence, as if he knew what would happen next.Thinking about what he just heard in the crowd, Tang Cuo became more and more convinced of this guess.

The conversation between Yan Yun and Mr. Crow was not a secret. Players nearby heard it at the time. Yan Yun said that he had participated in similar celebrations before.

Is this some kind of history repeating itself?

Tang Cuo frowned, and at this moment, the clown's slightly exaggerated voice finally revealed the name of the gift, "Congratulations to this player, for getting an equipment exchange coupon! This is really a very surprising item, even if it is It is also very good to look at among all the gifts."

Yan Yun: "Then I'll use it now."

Clown: "Huh?"

The players were also stunned.

Regardless of everyone's surprise, Yan Yun used the equipment exchange voucher.There was a flash of light on the exchange voucher, and Mr. Crow, who had escaped earlier, was immediately ejected from the void.

"Gah! You damned armor 00109, what the hell are you trying to do?!" Mr. Crow's tone began to reveal a trace of panic.

"Kill you." Yan Yun answered lightly.

"You can't kill me, I'm the great Mr. Crow—" Mr. Crow yelled loudly, but was interrupted by Yan Yun's light words.

"I'd like to exchange for [a carafe]."

"No! No, no, no, no!" Mr. Crow immediately went crazy when he heard these words.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he seemed to have completely lost his mind and became hysterical.

Everyone was dumbfounded, wondering how Yan Yun could force him to do this with a single sentence, but Tang Cuo suddenly thought of a fable.

"a crow drinks water".

Yan Yun looked directly at Mr. Crow, "It's reasonable for me to exchange vouchers for items. But you, Mr. Crow, if you don't exchange for me and don't obey the rules, you will be punished."

"No!" Mr. Crow, "If I say no, I won't!"

But the will of Evernight City will not be transferred by anyone.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to player D22422 for using the equipment exchange voucher to exchange for an item [a glass water bottle]. Please check it."

Before the words fell, Mr. Crow flapped his wings, trying to escape again.Yan Yun just used equipment exchange to summon him, as long as he hides quickly, they can't hurt him.

Yes, as long as he hides fast.

Mr. Crow disappeared in a flash, but Yan Yun moved his pocket watch quickly, and within a second, Mr. Crow was bounced back by the void.

"make."

As soon as he turned around, Mr. Crow saw Yan Yun's lips parted slightly, and he spit out a word. [Red Execution Order] It was as bright red as blood, and Yan Yun still had a glass water bottle with a thin neck in his hand.

【Red Execution Order】Whoever holds this order can attack the registered players.Valid for one use only.

[A glass water bottle] A water bottle that can never be filled, water that can never be drunk, means a story that will never end.Take out the water bottle and summon a crow to quench your thirst with a stone, which can restore 15 points of health every second.

"Ahh! Damn you! Let go of me! Let go of me—" Mr. Crow fluttered, his eyes as big as soybeans almost turned into broad beans.But no matter how he struggled, his body involuntarily threw himself down from mid-air, landed on the side of the street, and threw stones into the water bottle.

So repeatedly, can not stop.

As for Yan Yun, taking advantage of Mr. Crow's stone opening, he raised his butcher's knife.

Tang Cuo narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing it in his heart.

[A glass water bottle] is not a killer move, it's just used to restrict Mr. Crow's actions.Because at this moment, Eternal Night City has cut off contact with each copy, which means that there will only be this one crow in the entire Eternal Night City.

If it was in the dungeon, then most of what Yan Yun summoned would not be Mr. Crow.Judging by the rules of Eternal Night City, finding a random crow in the dungeon world is definitely prior to finding Mr. Crow.

Now that there is no other crow, Mr. Crow can only take the top.

It's a bird anyway.

Mr. Crow was restrained by Eternal Night City, temporarily lost his freedom, and also lost the chance to escape.

Yan Yun drew his saber to face him, he dodged left and right, but kept picking up stones.The wound on the wing by Xiao Tong was still there, he flew stumbling, caught sight of Yan Yun's knife out of the corner of his eye, screamed again and wanted to escape, but there seemed to be a pair of invisible big hands behind him, dragging him, wanting him to move Hold the stone to the mouth of the bottle.

The mouth of the bottle is at Yanyun's hand.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Mr. Crow was speechless while holding a stone in his mouth.

Seeing that he was about to be pulled towards Yan Yun's hand, and the blade was already waiting there with a cold light, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

They certainly weren't worried about Mr. Crow.For all players in Eternal Night City, Mr. Crow is a symbol of Eternal Night City, and now he is about to be killed.

Mr. Crow was killed, will he also go to jail?

What are the consequences of this incident?

I don't care about all these, and I don't have time to think about it.They can only listen to their beating hearts, keep their eyes fixed on the front, and savor the excitement, nervousness, and apprehension one by one.

The strings in the head are then stretched, stretched, stretched, and stretched, until——

"Okay." A helpless laugh suddenly cut the string, "He's just a crow, why bother him so much?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked around, but couldn't find the owner of the voice.

Yan Yun stopped the knife that was about to stab Mr. Crow's neck. He grabbed Mr. Crow and said loudly, "Since your Excellency has been watching, why don't you come out and talk?"

Who is coming?

"Mr. Crow." Tang Cuo said in a deep voice.Yan Yun exchanged the water bottle and drew his sword to kill people, but it was just a cover-up, in order to force the real Mr. Crow out.He knew that no matter whether it was Lin Yandong, Jin Chengyi or Tang Cuo, it was impossible to easily tell him the true identity of Mr. Crow, so he changed to this more straightforward method.

Instead of being intimidated, it is better to do a big job.

This is also an important reason why Tang Cuo has been watching in secret, but did not stop it.

But the real Mr. Crow doesn't seem to have any plans to appear on stage now.The voice seemed to come from Jiutian, it seemed to be close to the ear but also far away, and it was impossible to figure out the correct location.

"Crack." He snapped his fingers.

In the next second, Mr. Crow, who was held by Yan Yun, suddenly burst into dazzling light.Yan Yun hastily let go, and amidst the ear-piercing screams, the light cluster became bigger and bigger, until it gradually extended its limbs from the shape of a crow, and turned into a human being!

"Fuck!"

"what is that!?"

"How did Mr. Crow become a man? Who is he? Ohmygod, what the hell is going on here?"

There were exclamations one after another, and when the light cluster dissipated, everyone finally saw the man's face clearly.

It was a man with five colors of paint all over his face, hands, and body.Wearing clothes made of tattered rags, he squatted on the mountain of gifts with his head in his hands. He was thin and embarrassed, and his exact age could not be seen.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me..." He kept repeating a sentence, his eyes dodged, looking very funny.

The rest of the players finally reacted.

"He's not Mr. Crow!"

"Who are you?!"

"What kind of shocking scam is this? Did he deceive all of us? Or a puppet? What's going on?"

Among the divergent opinions, I don't know if it was that sentence that stimulated that man.He stood up suddenly, pointed at the talking player and yelled: "You are talking nonsense, I am not Mr. Crow, so who am I?!"

This bossy tone is very similar to that of Mr. Crow before.

The other party was reminded of the painful past by this tone, and his anger immediately came up, "Say it yourself, you are not Mr. Crow, then who are you?!"

"Who am I?" The man was stunned. He looked down at his dirty hands, and then wiped the oil paint on his face, making it even more blurry.But he didn't realize it, and there was a trace of bewilderment in his eyes, and then he started to go crazy, "Who am I? I'm not Mr. Crow, so who am I?"

"who I am?!"

One is making up the player.

Tang Cuo said the answer in his heart.Yan Yun's killing order directly confirms his identity, because the killing order is aimed at the existing players.Regardless of this man's true identity, he was once a player, and he was a player who came to Eternal Night City before Yan Yun.Because of the era Yan Yun and Rong Yi lived in, he existed as Mr. Crow.

The fact that Xiao Tong was able to cause harm to him was probably due to the fact that everyone was a regular player.

So where is the real Mr. Crow?

Tang Cuo turned his head and looked in the direction of the Ruby Tavern, where Jin Cheng was pushing the door and entering, smiling and greeting K who was drinking by the window.

"It's so lively outside, don't you really want to go out and have a look? Mr. Crow."
