Devil's Playground

Being reprimanded by Qiao Yitong, the three monks could only turn around and leave resentfully, returning to their boss.

Yang Jin originally thought that the great monk would take the initiative to come over, greet them with an approachable attitude, and win them over by the way.But in fact, such a thing did not happen. The gentle and jade-like monk just glanced at them and stopped paying attention. Instead, he talked and laughed happily with another group of people nearby.

This made Yang Jin start to wonder if he overestimated the value of his group of people.Although they had a little bit of limelight on the day they first entered the inner city, so far, all the newcomers from the outer city who came in with them have tried to recruit them, but none of the veterans in the inner city like the great monk have come to the door, nor have they tried to recruit them. Knowing whether to wait and see or not paying attention to them at all.

Yang Jin looked around in the central hall, and suddenly noticed that it was unexpectedly harmonious, everyone was quiet and orderly, and there was absolutely no evil deeds such as bullying, cheating and abducting.

"Because this is the teleportation hall." Hearing Yang Jin's question, Qiao replied lightly, "The people who come here are all planning to enter the game field and do their best. Even if such people are not the people on the top of the pyramid, they are also going to the top of the pyramid. What's the difference between looking for trouble among these people and looking for death."

"By the way, there seem to be fewer women here than in the outer city." Lily also observed something.

"Haven't you noticed? The initial condition for being able to enter here is abnormal death, and after deleting those who are too old and too young, the proportion of women who can occupy is already low." Joe said, "Most women are soft-hearted. , there are very few who can quickly adapt to the cruel environment of the game field, and the initial elimination rate is very high. There is no female protection law in the game field, and there are various customized people to choose from. For most men, Said, instead of trying to protect a woman who doesn't know when she will abandon you, it's better to spend money to buy a custom man who is obedient and won't cause trouble."

"Joe, I find that you are a bit male chauvinistic." Lily curled her lips in displeasure.

"You think too much." Joe replied calmly, "But there are indeed gender differences between men and women, and you should face up to this instead of evading or ignoring it."

"That's not the case..."

Lili was about to argue, but Lin Yu, who had been playing with the computer with her head down, suddenly interrupted.

"Lily, the best way to refute him is not to argue, but to raise your fist and beat him up."

Lily was slightly taken aback, then squeezed her fists, and smiled charmingly, "That's right, thank you for reminding me!"

"Stop making trouble." Joe looked helpless, "It's just a few small talk, as for going online like this?"

"It's not about putting the outline on the line, it's called practicing true knowledge." Lin Yu interjected again.

Joe grew speechless.

But Lily just put on a show, and with the help of Lin Yu, she was satisfied after making Joe speechless, and started a new topic.

Soon, at two o'clock, a light flashed in the center of the hall, and all the portals returned to the vortex mode that could be entered.

There was no such thing as crowding into a bus, and the vast majority of people were still standing on the sidelines, as if they were waiting for others to enter first. Only a team of about ten people went directly to the top of the round platform, one by one. disappeared in the portal leading to the golden game field.

"Aren't you going in?" Conch asked.

Joe hesitated for a moment, looked around, and finally said: "It doesn't matter, let's go in."

After speaking, Joe took the lead and walked towards the bronze portal closest to them.

The process of entering was very smooth, no one intercepted them, no one stopped them, only some unexplained scrutiny eyes swept over them.

After entering the portal, Yang Jin found himself in a pure white room, from the ceiling to the walls and even the floor were all white, and the layout in the room was very pale and empty, only a round table and a circle of seats were placed in the middle , other than that, there are no other items or decorations.

Seeing this round table, Joe breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, at least it's not in competition mode."

"What did you say?" Lily asked.

"A round table means a non-competitive mode. It may require cooperation or it may be independent. If it is a square table—the kind of long table that is common in conference rooms, it means that this is a competitive game field. Before entering, we need to divide into groups, and after entering, we will compete in groups, and the loser will be severely punished even if they come out alive, and their survival points, meritorious service, or reputation will be deducted."

As soon as Qiao finished explaining, Yang Jin also asked suspiciously, "Why is there no button on the table?"

"Because there is no need." Joe walked to the round table, "In the inner city, this place is called the teleportation hall, and there are only two ways to leave here, one is to pray that there are not enough people, the administrator cancels the game, and the other is to use escape tools. "

"Add one more." Lin Yu said, "Death."

"Don't tell a bad joke." Lily rolled her eyes, "It's not funny at all."

Lin Yu shrugged, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The other four people also took their seats, but after waiting for a while with big eyes and small eyes, Conch couldn't help asking: "Isn't there no one coming?"

"Be patient." Joe leaned on the back of the chair and said with closed eyes, "If no one comes in after an hour, the system will pass in the people who have accepted the task of 'firefighters' to make up the number. If counting them is still not enough, We also have to wait at most three hours, and then we will wait for the inquiry to continue or leave."

"Three hours..." Conch hugged her head and threw herself on the table.

"Do you have to wait so hard every time?" Lily also complained depressingly, "Can't we make it flexible and let the administrator intervene to arrange it?"

"So there are very few people who come directly to the teleportation hall. They usually go to the mission hall to select missions, and then enter the designated game field according to the system notification." Joe said helplessly, "Haven't you all read "Inner City Survival Guide"?"

"Isn't there a living guide like you!" Lily said confidently.

Joe twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't answer any more.

The luck of Yang Jin and the others was not as bad as they had feared. After a while, three white men entered the teleportation hall. At three o'clock, a black man and a yellow man were also transported in one after the other.

Like Joe, these people were obviously relaxed when they saw the round table in the teleportation hall.The white man who came in first took the initiative to chat with Yang Jin and the others, asking them if they wanted to "hire" protectors to help them complete the game.After being rejected, the three white men were not angry, shrugged their shoulders with a smile, each took out a computer or toy that could pass the time, sat on a chair and waited patiently.

When all ten seats were filled, a white light flashed on the table, and an octopus appeared.

"Shit, it's W's game field!" The three white men cursed out of their mouths.

Yang Jin glanced at Joe, and found that his complexion was also not good-looking, but the reaction was not as strong as that of the five strangers.After thinking about it, Yang Jin realized that they came in to complete the second trial mission. Even if they didn't meet this supposedly unreliable Brother Octopus this time, they would inevitably go to its playground next time Once you experience it, it is impossible to avoid it.

Unlike Mr. E's anthropomorphic form, Mr. W's appearance is a complete octopus, but the image is a little cartoonized, and it doesn't look as disgusting and scary as a real octopus.When it appeared on the table, one of Mr. W's tentacles was wrapped around a pipe. He played with it a few times and took a few more puffs. Then Mr. W looked at them casually, and then showed a stunned expression——

"Why are you here? Ah, the game is about to start?"

In two sentences, Yang Jin felt as if he understood why all human beings regarded Mr. W's game field as a scourge.

——The first feeling is very unreliable!

Yang Jin secretly slandered.

But Mr. W didn't wait for their answer. He swung his seven free tentacles, counted ten people, and then nodded himself, "The number is sufficient, so it's time to start——Okay, Toys, turn on your storage light screen - that's what you're supposed to call it - I've sent the tasks you need to do to storage, which means - well, I've done all I need to do, okay Let's start the game."

As soon as the words were finished, Mr. W disappeared from the table with a swish. In the next moment, several metal straps protruded from the back of the chair, and there was a flurry of crackling noises, all ten people were tied to the chair.

——What are you doing?

Yang Jin looked at Lin Yu subconsciously, but before he could finish turning his head, the long-lost dizziness swept over him, his mind was blank, his body sank, and he passed out.

Opening his eyes again, Yang Jin found himself lying in the corner, beside Lin Yu who was already awake, on the other side were Joe, Lily, and Conch who had not yet awakened, and on the opposite side were the five strangers.

"What the hell is this place?" Yang Jin felt that the surroundings were dark and the air was a bit damp and cold. He rubbed his eyes and found that they seemed to be locked in a secret room.The walls, ceiling, and floor of the secret room are all built of stones. There are no windows, and no door can be seen. There is only an oil lamp hanging above the head, providing some light for the secret room.

"Mr. W's playground." Lin Yu replied expressionlessly.

Yang Jin felt more and more confused, glanced at the other people who hadn't woken up, turned his head to Lin Yu's ear, and said softly: "I have a soul stone in my hand, do you want to summon Rick out?"

"Yes." Lin Yu nodded, obviously feeling that the situation here was too weird.

Yang Jin took out the soul stone obtained in the melee in the exit hall, recited the spell silently, and opened the summoning channel for Rick.

After a while, the huge Rick emerged from the vortex.

But at the same time, Lily and a white man opposite also woke up one after another.

"What the hell?" The white man saw the devil-like Rick as soon as he opened his eyes, and immediately jumped up in fright, putting on a defensive posture.

"Don't be afraid, human, I'm just a contracted creature." Ru Ke replied solemnly, then turned his head and said to Yang Jin, "This time the soul stone is very good, Contractor, if you can continue to use this soul stone in the future Matsuri, I'll consider... eh?"

Ruoke's voice stopped abruptly, and his head turned left and right, like a computer that suddenly crashed.

At this time, others also woke up one after another.

The first thing Qiao did after opening his eyes was to turn on the light screen of the memory. This action also woke Yang Jin up, and he hurriedly opened his memory to see what the hell mission Mr. W had posted.

As soon as Yang Jin called up the task interface, Rick finally got out of the dead state, muttering to himself: "Damn, what the hell is this place?"
