midnight ten

"Are you finished?" Huo Xu asked, his cold eyes showed no emotion.

"I want to continue, but unfortunately I can't. If I say more, I will be invited out of the battlefield."

Guest.137, who has accurately mastered the rules of secrecy, regrets this. If he is not afraid of being forced to be expelled from the checkpoint, he is really happy to help the other party understand what the so-called passers-by are in the eyes of K star people. goods……

stop, no.

Guest.137 seemed to think of something, quickly withdrew his thoughts, and looked at Huo Xu again.

Sure enough, the other party didn't look like he wanted to ask questions at all.

This is so unreasonable.Even if what I revealed is only vague fragments of information, keywords such as "natural" and "acquired copying" should not be used by bugs who don't know anything about K star or owl system and can only be forced to pass through the level in a daze. Cause great curiosity and exploration?

I don't know if he felt the expectation of Guest.137, but Huo Xu really asked.

But the question is: "Do you have other abilities?"

Guest.137 was amused by him: "The stationery tree has been [eliminated], and you still want me to have other abilities? Are you trying to make your death worse?"

Huo Xu said, "I'm afraid you will die too badly."

Before the voice fell, others had already moved out, stepping on the bumpy island like walking on flat ground, and rushed straight to Guest.137 at a rapid speed.

Guest.137 did not expect that Huo Xu, who had lost his stationery tree, would dare to move first, and he still attacked head-on, as if he had a chance of winning.

This posture and fighting style easily brought back the deepest shadow in Guest.137's heart - those guys who laughed at him for being useless without special abilities, after being "eliminated" by him, without exception, they would choose to approach with bare hands like this, It was as if he was just a waste with no basic force value in their eyes.

Guest.137 would never forgive that a bug that broke through a level dared to underestimate him like this.

Concentrating his thoughts, he poured all his mental strength into physical defense. He wanted the opponent to understand the insurmountable physical gap between them the first time he hit him, and let the bug crush him with his fists.

Huo Xu, who came at a high speed, was already in front of him.

Guest.137 remained motionless, the corners of his mouth curled up in contempt.

Huo Xu swung his windy fist hard, hitting Guest.137 on the chin from bottom to top.

Guest.137 was beaten so hard that he threw his head up, and the whole person flew backwards.

...It really flew out.

The explosive power and impact brought by Huo Xu's punch far exceeded Guest.137's expectations.Completely stupefied, he drew an unsightly arc at low altitude, and landed dangerously on the edge of an isolated island, but if he landed a little further back, he would die in the deep sea.

At the same time that Guest.137 landed, Huo Xu frowned slightly, and finally there was a clear emotion in his eyes, which was a kind of annoyance that could be easily read - he didn't fall directly into the sea, this punch failed.

However, Guest.137 couldn't care less about interpretation, he didn't even care about getting up from the ground, so he maintained the awkward posture lying on the edge of the isolated island, staring at Huo Xu with wide eyes in disbelief: "Your stationery tree has been eliminated Now, how could you still have this kind of power?!" He shook his head violently after speaking, denying himself, "No, your stationery tree is in the direction of the water system, even if your stationery tree is still there, it shouldn't be like this... ..."

Suddenly, he thought of another possibility, "You strengthened your strength in the Wishing House!"

It is possible, but Guest.137 has already made up his mind, otherwise there will be no second explanation.

Huo Xu was so annoyed by his noise that he didn't bother to talk nonsense, his eyes sank slightly, he leaned forward, and once again sprinted towards Guest.137 with all his strength, and the speed was faster than last time.

Huo Xu's second attack came without warning, and Guest.137's breathing stopped for an instant, and the painful memory of the last punch made him feel conditioned fear of a bug.

It shouldn't be like this.

Guest.137 was surrounded by a huge sense of humiliation, contempt for Huo Xu, fear, self-confidence, humiliation, all kinds of simultaneous but diametrically opposed emotions were fighting wildly in his heart.

Huo Xu approached the edge of the island in an instant.

All emotions in Guest.137's heart went blank for a moment.No matter how stunned he was when he was beaten into the air, at least he could still think and doubt, but now he was only shocked—this bug not only strengthened its strength, but also its speed? !

Huo Xu's second punch was more merciless than the first punch, and when he swung it, he cut through the air and created a fierce gust of wind.

But last time Guest.137 deliberately waited for the fist to come, and he couldn't suffer the same loss a second time.Huo Xu was fast, and he was not slow either. Just when his fist was about to greet him, he rolled on the spot and nimbly dodged to the side.

With a "boom", Huo Xu slammed his fist heavily on the ground, and a deep hole was immediately punched out in the ground.

Huo Xu pulled out his fist without hesitation, and continued to pounce on Guest.137.

Guest.137 just got up, and instinctively wanted to continue dodging, but he changed his mind the next moment.What he was facing was either a K-star person or a passer-by, no matter how strengthened he was, he was just a passer-by.He didn't believe it anymore, could it be that he couldn't deal with a bug by fighting with all his strength!

Huo Xu's third punch has come.

Guest.137 was fully charged, and he also swung his fist at Huo Xu, fist to fist, to see who was tougher.

The two fists collided violently halfway.

A muffled sound.

Guest.137 felt like all the bones in his hand were broken.He gasped uncontrollably, all senses were numb and dull, and only pain remained in his brain, the piercing, fatal pain that could completely defeat a person's will.

Huo Xu should also be in pain, no matter how hard his bones are, with the same impact force, it is impossible to feel nothing.

But in the projection screen in the consulting room, all the gatekeepers pushed the angle of view to a close-up of Huo Xu, but they didn't find any fluctuations in his face.As if he didn't know the pain, he looked at Guest.137 indifferently, bared his teeth, retracted his fist indifferently, and then indifferently kicked the guest's belly.

This was his first flying kick, and also the last time, the kick was fierce and merciless.

Guest.137 finally flew out of the isolated island, with astonishment, shame, destroyed self-confidence, and a broken heart, and fell into the deep sea.

"Ding--"

<Cheat Sheet>: The guest has left the battle area, the battle is over, congratulations on clearing the level on 7/10!

The white light beams projected, one went to the island, and the other went into the sea.

Winners and losers are teleported away at the same time.

Only floating islands swaying with the waves are left on the projection screen.

The consulting room fell into a long silence.

This battle is not complicated, there are only a few rounds of the key confrontation, it is simple and clear, and the process is clear.

But it was such a straight-forward battle that caused countless confusions inexplicably.

Horus probably didn't understand how he lost until he fell into the sea.When this colleague was struggling in the sea, there was anger in the panic, and a hint of bewilderment in the anger, which made them, the onlookers, feel sad and miserable.

However, they are not at a loss.

Paine scratched his head irritably, and just about to raise doubts, he found that Charon was adjusting the projection angle of the floating island battlefield.The original picture was looking at the edge of the isolated island where Huo Xu and Horus fought fiercely in the end. After various adjustments by Charon, it was now aimed at a hole in the ground.

"What are you doing?" Paine asked inexplicably.

Charon said: "This is Huo Xu's second punch. Horus dodged it, and the fist hit the ground."

When the others heard the words, they also looked at the projection screen.

On the muddy ground that has been soaked by water countless times, there is a pit not much bigger than a fist. At first glance, it looks nothing special, but if you look inside carefully, you will find that the pit is very deep, and the fist has penetrated the water-soaked surface. , down to the dry depths.

It's hard to imagine such a powerful fist coming from a passer who lost his stationery tree.

The doubts accumulated by the gatekeepers throughout the battle were finally pushed to the top.

6/10: "What exactly did he strengthen in the wishing room? Either strength or speed. It is impossible for the wishing room to strengthen him in both directions at the same time."

7/10: "Could it be that one aspect is enhanced, and then disposable stationery enhances another?"

Charon: "Impossible, Horus can eliminate all special abilities, whether it is a stationery tree or a one-time stationery."

7/10: "Maybe he missed it this time, and let the bandage kid take advantage of it."

"Huh?" 8/10 suddenly remembered another thing, and looked at Demos with a subtle smile, "I heard that you were injured by a bandaged guy when you were defending 2/10, is it him? "

Demus' handsome face froze for a moment.

"I don't want to talk about this." The 2/10 gatekeeper raised his chin, looked up at the ceiling, and refused willfully and simply.

8/10 shrugged, and after a while, suddenly looked at Tyre again.

Tier couldn't help: "The person involved doesn't want to say it, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to disclose it."

8/10 Fu forehead: "I didn't ask you this," he asked Tyre to gossip when he couldn't think about it, "I want to ask what kind of stationery tree is that kid? It's water when you hit it, I remember the previous few levels That’s right, there’s no difference in the form of attack, so he shouldn’t be in the same stationery tree from level one to level five?”

Tyre pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I don't know."

8/10 was stunned, a little confused: "I don't know... what does it mean?"

Till's answer was so strange that the entire consulting room looked over with puzzled eyes.

"I can't check his stationery tree." Tyre said calmly, his voice still faint.

Colleagues, look at me, I look at you, no one can be as calm as Tyre: "Can't check?!"

"No authority?" It was also the first time Demus had heard Tyre say this.

Till still shook his head: "Under normal circumstances, if it's because of a permission problem, the system will remind me that I don't have enough permissions, but when I choose to view him, the system doesn't respond. There is neither permission reminder nor feedback."

All the gatekeepers looked at each other, what kind of situation is this?

They have worked in the trial area for so long, and they haven't met the request sent out. If the system does not respond, even if it is rejected, there will be clear feedback.

Demos likes this kind of unusual thing, and his imagination starts to gallop instantly, "Is there a bug in the system? He didn't go through the formal channel when he came in? Or was it an undercover agent sent by the top? Or simply a virtual test created by the owl system. A person?" After a pause, Demos made a direct decision, "It's a virtual person, and his desperate energy doesn't belong to human beings at all."

Vader casually called up the passerby's information and cast it on the screen, flipped through Cui Zhan's photo, and reminded: "This is not fatal."

Demos immediately said: "He is reckless, but he hurts when he is injured, and he is happy when he is proud, and when you see a virtual person fighting, he still talks about the mess."

Vader: "..."

Also, if this guy is a dummy, how boring must the designer who built him be, to input so much useless data into him—it’s okay to bear the useless data, and the data temperament is not serious.

Compared with Cui Zhan, look at Huo Xu.

He is not afraid of pain, talks less, and hardly says anything superfluous from the beginning to the end, like an emotionless fighting machine, and his physical fitness is beyond ordinary, and the stationery tree cannot be checked...

The more people thought about it, the more they felt like it, but they felt that the logic of the owl system didn't make sense.

The so-called virtual beings are people, monsters, and even the level environment itself created by the owl system and placed in the level world.

For example, the first thirteen levels are all virtual spaces made up of databases, without the need for K star personnel to enter and manage them, and are directly run automatically by the owl system.But for the passers-by, they cannot perceive this "virtual", because when they are involved in the first thirteen levels, their consciousness is connected with the virtual space, and everything in the level , are real in their feelings.

However, the mode of the last ten levels is completely different from that of the first thirteen levels.

The last ten levels, together with the entire trial area, are built on this real planet, with real cities, real islands, real continents, real gatekeepers, and even the various settings in the level—the dungeon’s The subway, the weird weather and flora and fauna of Survival Island, the flipping and flipping of the hourglass castle, etc. - are also realistically constructed.

If you have to find a little bit of virtual elements from the last ten levels, 2/10 Water World, the monsters and ghosts in the plot line of [Ultimate Fear] are the only ones that exist.

But this is not the original design of the owl system. It was a sudden whim from above, and someone wanted to add some fun to each level. As a result, because of the lack of core authority to modify the system, I just took 2/10 to practice and simply made something. was warned by the system.The higher authorities did not believe in evil, and continued to let people crack the permissions. In the end, the protection program of the entire system was activated, everyone's permissions were temporarily downgraded, and the system was automatically shut down for three days.

This happened many years ago, and after that, the higher-ups did not dare to tamper with the system.

In other words, theoretically, there is no virtual person in the last ten levels, let alone a virtual person like Huo Xu who is mixed in the team of passers.Thinking from the logic of the owl system, such a design is unreasonable and meaningless.

"Don't worry about that guy's identity," Sif broke the silence and turned to Tyre, "Have you reported to the higher-ups about the inability to view the stationery tree?"

"No," Tyre said.

"Why?" Sif wondered, "You should have found out when he broke through 1/10."

She didn't meet Huo Xu when she was guarding the gate with Vida, so it must be Tyre who tested him.And the first item of 1/10 level guard is to check the stationery tree of the level breaker, and then conduct an assessment.

Tyr did find out, but: "My job responsibility is to assess the application of the stationery tree by the passers-by. The suspicious points of the stationery tree itself are not within the scope of the assessment."

All gatekeepers: "..."

Can your curiosity be any poorer?

The author has something to say: Advisory Room: Too suspicious...

Huo Xu:?

Chapter 260 The seventh group ①┃In the projection screen of the fourth battlefield, a sentence suddenly came out - "I admit defeat."

In the pure white space, Tang Lin, Shi Fangze, Da Sixi, and Skeleton Bride are still waiting.They waited from midnight to daytime, from the first group to the seventh group, sending off their partners again and again, waiting for the result again and again, and the cycle repeated.

For them, it's the longest level ever, even though they haven't fought yet.

Finally, the last battlefield on the screencasting list was also decided.So far, entering the one-on-one five and six groups at the same time, all have results——

Huo Xu, Zhou Yunhui, Cui Zhan, Buddha Pattern, Sunday, Whole Wheat, clear the level.

Three bars, Xu Dingdong, Qing Yise, Hao Siwen, died.

The little owl jumped out on the projection screen, repeating the routine lines that have been said countless times, counting the number of passers-by, counting the number of deaths, and then pulling out a new set of battle lists.

Tang Lin and the others had long regarded it as the background sound.

At the moment when the last battle of the previous group came to an end, they had already stood up.

Four white lights, sending the last four partners into the battlefield——

Big Four Happiness (Battle) Guest.140

Tang Lin (Battle) Guest.141

Skeleton Bride (Versus) Guest.142

Shi Fangze (Battle) Guest.143

The gatekeepers who lost the bet in the consultant room finally completed their punishment and were able to sit down again.

Most of them have settled down and recognized the life philosophy of "cherish dignity and stay away from gambling", but there are also a small group of people who are obsessed with it.

"I don't believe it anymore," Vader kicked Demos's chair unwillingly, and asked, "Do you dare to gamble again?"

Demos readily responded: "Which game do you want to bet on?"

Vader looked at the four projection screens and fell into difficulty in choosing for a moment.

The last time they chose one of five, they bet on "Nange (vs.) Guest.129". Since Nange was the only woman, her battle naturally attracted attention.

But this last group is all regular male passers-by. Even if one of five choices is reduced to one of four, it is still difficult to find attractive highlights at a glance.

"There is no hesitation here, it must be the first battlefield."

"Agreed, the guy who broke through the level doesn't even have a decent stationery, no attack, no defense, just a lucky support, zero multiplied by more luck is zero."

"Trust us, bet he loses, you will win!"

——My colleagues gave up gambling, but they didn’t quit watching the excitement, and made irresponsible suggestions one after another.

Vader also knew that the first battlefield was relatively weak, and the first few levels were all cleared with the collective strength, at most, when some individuals needed to make a choice, they would contribute a little bit of strength.

But just because this guy is too weak, Vader is not easy to bet on him. If he wins the bet, he has nothing to be proud of. If he loses the bet, he will be ridiculed by Demos until next year.

At this time, the four passers-by had already taken their positions on their respective battlefields, and the panoramic images of the battlefields were slowly becoming clear on each projection screen.

In the first battlefield, Da Sixi came to an exotic town.

On the second battlefield, Tang Lin stood in the dark wax museum at midnight.

In the third battlefield, the skeleton bride landed in the open wilderness of the area.

In the fourth battlefield, Shi Fangze was sent into the boxing ring floating in the clouds.

Looking at the four battlefields, Vida suddenly had an aura, and calmly put on a high posture: "The difficulty of simply betting on the outcome is too low. Just glance at it and you will know whose life is hard and whose life is fragile."

"So?" Demus waited for his advice.

Vader tilted his head slightly, and the feather on the hat shook slightly with his thudding: "So we not only have to bet on who will lose, but also bet on who will lose first."

Demos thought he really had something new: "Don't forcefully increase the false difficulty. After going around, you still want to bet on the first battle."

The weakest is naturally the first to lose.

"No, no, no," Vader denied three times, and then raised the corners of his mouth cunningly, "I bet the fourth battleground will lose first."

Demos was startled, and subconsciously looked towards the fourth battlefield together with the gatekeepers watching.

Shi Fangze of the Fourth Battlefield is unfamiliar to most of the people in the consulting room except 7/10. The gatekeepers who are so unfamiliar with the previous levels can't even remember whether they have ever assessed such a guy.

But the strength of strength does not necessarily have to be judged by familiarity.Body shape, state, including eyes and temperament, can all be used as evidence.

Compared with Da Sixi, Shi Fangze is taller and taller, and his figure is not inferior to those vigorous and powerful passers-by, and there is a kind of calm and calm between his brows, which is a temperament that is rarely seen in many passers-by with strong fighting power. Comparing with Da Sixiyi who tried his best to hide the panic in his eyes, it couldn't be more obvious which of them is stronger or weaker.

Vader bet on Shi Fangze to be the first to lose?

The entire consulting room was the same as Demos, and felt that there was a conspiracy here.

When they looked at the projection screen and saw clearly the arena in the clouds of the fourth battlefield, they finally understood Vader's thoughts.

Although Shi Fangze looked stronger than Da Sixi, his battlefield was too small.Even compared with the second battlefield, which was also a closed environment, the arena he randomly picked up was much harsher than the wax museum that Tang Lin randomly picked up.

Da Sixi can run if he can't hit 140, and the whole town can become his hiding place. The time-consuming alone can drag the battle for an hour.

Shi Fangze's boxing ring is only a few steps away from one side to the other, and there is no need to hide when fighting. Even if he attacks the stationery tree from a distance, he can't get any use. Melee fighting is almost an inevitable development. Be careful not to turn out of the ring inadvertently during the fight.

An infinite battlefield, a cloud arena that is considered the most difficult even in a limited battlefield, all of Shi Fangze's strengths that are higher than Da Sixi's will be instantly reversed by the huge gap in the battlefield conditions.

"……Good luck!"

The joking mechanical voice has already announced the rules, and the four battles are about to start.

Vader was a little anxious, and urged Demus: "Hey, do you want to bet or not?"

Demos was very upset, because after adding the battlefield environment, he also wanted to bet that Shi Fangze would lose first!

"Okay," 6/10 saw Moss' delicate mood, and directly helped him build the steps. There was nothing to bet on, and the result was obvious. "

Demos gave this caring colleague a "you understand me" approving look, and immediately ran down the steps: "That's right, it's not challenging."

Vader casts a sideways glance at 6/10.

6/10 with an upright and innocent face.

Just when the attention of the consultant room was focused on Demus and Vader, a sentence suddenly came out from the projection screen of the fourth battlefield——

"I surrender."

Guest.143's voice was deep and powerful, with sonorous words. If you didn't listen carefully, you might think that he was giving the last warning before the battle.

The temperament of the voice and the content of the speech are completely out of tune, which is already outrageous, and what's even more insane is that the battle has only been started for less than half a minute!

You admit defeat in half a minute?Or is it an absolutely dominant battlefield like the arena in the cloud? ?

The gazes of all the gatekeepers focused on the fourth projection screen with a "swish", and every line of sight was filled with the same shock and astonishment.

The two people on the arena in the cloud stood facing each other, very close to each other.

The turmoil and chaos in the consulting room could not be conveyed there at all, they were like being in a peach blossom garden in the sky, peaceful and quiet, after Guest. .

What he was talking about, the consultant room had no idea, because he deliberately lowered his voice to a very low level, and the prompt for customs clearance sounded again at this moment.

When the crisp ending of the "ding" died down, Shi Fangze had finished speaking, and walked away with a smile.

All the gatekeepers always felt that this guy was sure to use the clearance notification sound as a cover.It may be that he is too calm and methodical, or it may be the smile in his eyes from beginning to end.

Bai Guang sent away the two people who seemed to be very satisfied, leaving only the empty arena in the clouds and a room full of oblivious gatekeepers in the consultant room.

"Who can tell me what happened—" Paine's view of battle suffered an unprecedented shock and was on the verge of collapse.

7/10 looked around the room: "From the announcement of the rules to the 143 surrender, is there half a minute? Is there?!"

Sobek: "You haven't even fought, why do you have to admit defeat?"

Charon: "I can't find a second reason other than love at first sight."

8/10: "Can you talk any more?"

6/10: "No, I feel like any reason is acceptable now."

First, there was Zheng Luozhu who "chatted people out of life", then Huo Xu "physical fitness", and now there is Shi Fangze who made his opponent admit defeat in 20 seconds. What is impossible with these guys?

"Did you see what happened before admitting defeat?" Sif was relatively calm and calmed down a little, then remembered to ask Tyre.

While they were paying attention to the game between Demos and Vader, Tyrke kept looking at the battlefields without distraction.

"I don't believe that 143 surrendered as soon as it came up," Sif said. "There must be a reason."

Tyr did see it: "Twice."

Sif: "What twice?"

Tyr: "The passer talked to 143 twice, once when the owl system announced the rules, and once when you saw it, 143 whispered after admitting defeat."

"What did he say?" The others asked after hearing the words.

Till shook his head: "The first time was covered by the voice announcing the rules, and the second time was covered by the prompt."

The consultant room fell silent.

There is no need to doubt or guess anymore, Shi Fangze did it on purpose.He knew or judged that the battlefield would be monitored, so he deliberately picked a time when he could cover up his voice, and talked with Guest.143.

8/10 narrowed his eyes slowly: "143 made some kind of deal with him."

This is almost certain, but Paine can't figure it out: "What valuable exchange can that guy offer?" Is it worth 143 to give up the entertainment project that took money and time to wait, and give it up so decisively?

It's not just that that's incredible.

Sobek: "The time when the owl system announces the rules can indeed allow him to use the conversation, but he hasn't passed 7/10. How can he be sure that once 143 admits defeat, there will be a prompt sound, allowing him to take the opportunity to talk?"

"He couldn't be sure, so he just lowered his voice in the first conversation, but whispered in the second conversation after lowering it." Till said, "Even if there is no clearance prompt, I don't think the monitor screen can capture what he said. what."

Sobek swallowed hard: "This thought is too deep, too thorough..."

Till smiled, raised his eyes and glanced at Demos, with a rare bit of ridicule: "So he passed the level first."

He almost bet on Demos, who Shi Fangze lost the fastest: "..."

Already placed a bet on Shi Fangze being the first Vader to die: "..."

7/10, who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, danced mischievously at his colleagues with two eyebrows: "Are you two still betting?"

Demos and Vader: "Go away."

"Ding--"

Caught off guard, the second clearance prompt.

All the gatekeepers went crazy: "Who is it—"

The battlefield that was once listed as the first place in the gambling list of Demos and Vader, Big Six (Verse) Guest.140, an exotic town, and at some point, the screen has shifted to outside the town.

There is no road outside the town, only a cliff where not a blade of grass grows.

It was impossible for Da Sixi to escape from the town to the outside in such a short period of time, so he must have used some kind of disposable armor to speed up his escape or directly transfer space.

But it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that at this moment the cliff almost completely collapsed, only one corner survived, and Da Sixi was lying on this corner in a state of embarrassment, with half of her body already hanging out of the cliff.

The Guest.140 who was fighting against him did not appear to be in distress, because the guest was nowhere to be found on the cliff.

There are only a few houses whose roofs have been blown off in the distance, silently telling the guests how vigorous and unrestrained they used to be.

5/10: "So this is trying to blast off the passer-by, and ended up with me?"

8/10: "I don't think it's weird that these guys are winning now, really."

When Fan Peiyang passed the customs, they recognized that strength is everything.

When He Lu passed the level, they felt that sincerity also had a supporting effect.

When Bai Luxie cleared the customs, they discovered that willfulness works wonders.

When Guan Lan passed the level, they saw that the drama master was invincible.

Then there is no more then.

Chatting to kill people, lurking in the water to kill people, crying and awakening with a mournful song... When every angle of customs clearance is so strange, the inventory has lost its meaning.

The author has something to say: Wei Da: I bet Shi Fangze will be the first to lose!

Battlefield: [Shi Fangze is the first to win.jpg]

Vader: I bet that Big Four will lose second!

Battlefield: [Big Six wins second.jpg]

All gatekeepers: 100% wrong choice, but also a kind of strength.

Vader: QAQ
