"You are very inattentive now." Ellie reminded aloud.

"Is there..." Xu Yang responded and looked around, "I just don't know why we have to dance here."

Yes, just now, Ellie took his hand and slid into the center of the dance floor.At the moment, they are dancing, a slow and ambiguous waltz with hands clasped.

It always looks strange for two people dressed in women's clothes to dance together. Xu Yang noticed that there were already two or three aggressive eyes looking at "her" from the outside, looking eager to try.

However, what he really cared about was not those gazes.

It's the people behind the gaze.

The dim lights in the banquet hall were flickering, and most of the people who were drinking and drinking were dressed in costumes. For example, at this moment, the man who was dancing with a girl in his arms was wearing a black mask on his face, and two blood-red lava-like horns were protruding from the top of his head. , Under the mask, the half-exposed pupils are unusually big, equal to half of Xu Yang's fist.

There is also a long-haired woman who has been dancing solo. At first glance, her figure is slender, and there is nothing unusual. When you look closely, you find that half of her cheeks are covered with a layer of hard scales with a faint green metallic luster.When Xu Yang observed her, she turned her head charmingly and winked at him with fish eyes with slender eyelashes.

In comparison, Ellie, who was wearing a crown in his arms and dressed in fancy clothes, was actually a relatively normal one.

"This beautiful and noble lady, are you a crow?"

There was a clear and indistinguishable voice that gradually approached Xu Yang.

It was a man covered with flaming orange feathers, and the crimson crest on his head swayed with his graceful and intense movements.His eyes locked on Xu Yang seductively, the dance was warm and graceful, with feathers fluttering wildly, apparently ignoring Ellie.

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously felt that it was a dance of male birds courting female birds.He shook his head, and the speed of light cut off the unrealistic thoughts of the other party: "Sorry, I'm a man. Not a bird."

The man with flaming orange feathers turned pale, and instantly froze in place, his body stiffened into an icicle.

Ellie burst out laughing.

"..." Xu Yang glanced at her: "It's a bad taste."

"No way..." Ellie blinked innocently: "Believe me, there are people here who can see through your disguise at a glance, but you are not their prey. And I am protecting you..."

She smiled and added:

"Be careful, though, because no matter where there are hunters, there will always be some hunters. They don't care who they hunt, they just want the thrill of being hunters."

Xu Yang pursed his lips.He has long noticed the holographic panel next to the dance floor, where a blue list is scrolling, in the order of the leaderboard, the three-dimensional holographic avatar and name of each dungeon clearer are scrolling, followed by a few numbers on the right, which seems to be a bounty .From time to time, names suddenly turned gray and disappeared from the list.

Maybe dead.

Under the panel, a group of people gathered around there with great interest, as if they were thinking about which one to pick.

"Oh, someone is staring at me." Ai Li stared at a certain point behind Xu Yang, her lips curled up, her almond eyes blinked, she nodded slightly there, and led Xu Yang in a certain direction. past.She whispered in Xu Yang's ear, "Come to the top terrace of the castle."

"What?" Xu Yang frowned, but before he could react, Ellie let go of his hand in the next second and pushed him back slightly.

Inertia led his body to move back two steps, Xu Yang happened to retreat to another person, was caught by that person, clasped his hands, turned him in a circle to face himself, and then led him to continue dancing.

Xu Yang: "?"

This person is half a head taller than him, dressed in black, with a hot body temperature, a low voice, a little dissatisfied:

"Dancing with her so much fun?"

"...Speak well." Xu Yang looked at Yin Chi, "Why are you here?"

Yin Chi smiled mysteriously.

Xu Yang was only a little shorter than the other party, and he could just look down from top to bottom, and saw that the skin under his collar was covered with a layer of dim blue light.

"You are not on the list." Xu Yang whispered.

He was referring to the wanted list on the holographic screen next to the dance floor.The first place on the list was not Yin Chi, who was at the top of the list, but Xu Yang himself.

"I was discovered by you." Yin Chi paused, lowered his head a little, rested his chin on his shoulder, rubbed it lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's true, I can't get off the boat."

The air was silent for a moment.

"What ship?" Xu Yang asked.

Yin Chi let out a long hum in his chest, tightened his big hand, then loosened it a bit:

"You'll remember."

The lights were dimmed and soft music played, giving the atmosphere an elusive haze.

The two danced to the music, wandered out between the crowd, and consciously danced to one side of the dance floor.Occasionally, the light turned around, illuminating their faces for a moment, and then returned to the darkness soon.

They gradually approached an inconspicuous small door.

Xu Yang remembered that Ellie left here just now.

For some reason, when they were about to reach the door, the lights were suddenly completely dimmed, and the whole place was plunged into darkness.The host's voice came from the radio:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the winner's dinner!"

Inexplicably, Xu Yang felt that the voice was a bit familiar. He closed his eyes, thought about it for a while, and immediately realized where he had heard it before——

Among the memory fragments, in the voice that Yin Chi listened to him, was the voice of the man named "An Li".

He bumped Yin Chi with his elbow, motioning him to quicken his pace.

The host spoke again:

"Hmm, before the dinner officially starts, we first need to get rid of a few disobedient little cockroaches—"

click.

——Anli snapped his fingers in the dark.

The next second, a beam of pale light hit Xu Yang's face directly, almost blinding his eyes.

He squinted his eyes, adapting to the harsh light.Soon, he found that there were several beams of white light shining everywhere in the banquet hall, and there were panicked faces reflected under the white light.

No matter where they go, they will be tracked and illuminated by this beam of white light, and become the focus of the crowd.

"Here we come." Yin Chi said in a low voice.

Xu Yang pursed his lips, nodded, and unconsciously squeezed the needle gun he took out from the inventory.

They were still five or six meters away from the door, but at this moment, the people around them pressed towards them like a tide, and there were endless screams behind them.

——Accompanied by the screams, the white lights that were constantly moving as the passers-by fled, went out one after another.
