bayonet and rose

Compared with the previous scene where there were either mountains or water, the opening of this level is relatively humane, at least it is a solid flat ground.

A lot of people had already gathered on the flat ground, but no one spoke to each other, and they all dispersed, keeping a guarded distance.

As expected of the level number ten, the atmosphere of this opening is completely different.

In front of the crowd stood three extremely huge doors, all of which were more than ten meters high by visual inspection. Each door was painted with different patterns, from left to right were King K, Queen Q, and Attendant J. The styles were the same as those on the market. Ordinary poker cards have the same face, but the patterns on the doors have no color and no suit.

The theme of this level is the poker game. The existence of these three doors is reasonable, but I don’t know what the game is like.

Lin Ziyu counted the people calmly. There are currently 27 people present, and the rest are still entering the checkpoint one after another.

There were no acquaintances on the field for the time being, and Hua Zhai didn't show up either.

Lin Ziqian wondered leisurely whether Hua Zhai would be disconnected this time, but as soon as this thought came to his mind, Hua Zhai popped up out of thin air.

There were seven or eight people between them, but Hua Zhai identified the location of Lin Zi Prison at a glance, and waved towards Lin Zi Prison very happily, and then walked towards Lin Zi Prison in a leisurely manner.

There were three other people who came in with Hua Zhai. After these people were in place, the 40 people needed to clear the level were formally assembled, and the notification sound immediately sounded——

"Welcome to all passers-by. This is the No. [-] checkpoint of the Skeleton District. I am the checkpoint supervisor Zheng Qian. This time, I will be the narrator for everyone..."

Zheng Qian's speaking speed was normal, and his enunciation was clear. He really showed the posture of working seriously.

When Zheng Qian was making an introduction, Hua Zhai also touched the side of Lin Zi Prison. This time he was wearing a black loose short-sleeve with half a skull covered with flowers printed on it, and his long hair was also tied into a bunch. It sounds like an artist.

"Boss Lin," Hua Zhai pretended to be surprised as usual, "What a coincidence."

Lin Ziyu smiled: "It's really a coincidence."

This time, Lin Zi Prison was thrown to break through the barrier just after he registered. Fortunately, Hua Zhai was able to keep up in time.

Their chat was interrupted by a notification sound, and Zheng Qian started announcing the rules with his professionalism: "There are two first-level rules for this level, before the first first-level rule is announced...Everyone see the door in front of you Yet?"

With such an eye-catching door, everyone present could see it if they were not blind, but no one among the passers-by was willing to cooperate for the time being, and they just listened and didn't answer.

If he didn't get an answer, Zheng Qian didn't urge him, but he didn't go on talking. He just spent time with the passers-by in silence until someone lost his patience and said "I see", and that's the end.

"Now, all passers-by, please choose one of the doors to go in. Remember, each person can only choose once. This choice will directly affect the difficulty of your next level. Please make your choice carefully."

...Many of the dozens of passers must be complaining about the design of this level.Zheng Qian pointed out so early that the difficulty behind the gate is different, it doesn't seem like he has good intentions at all, and it is useless except to restrain the passers-by.

For King K, Queen Q, and Attendant J, it is not easy to predict the difficulty they respectively represent based on this little information.

A few minutes later, Zheng Qian's voice came again, and he asked with a smile: "The time is up, have you made your choice?"

With the experience of last time, this time everyone also understands that if they don't answer Zheng Qian's questions well, he will really spend it all the time, so it's better to answer earlier for the convenience of you and me.

So someone said in time: "Okay."

Zheng Qian was very satisfied: "Now, please walk into the gate, once you take the first step, you cannot go back on your word."

No one spoke, and the forty people on the field all walked towards the gate of their choice in tacit understanding.

After the crowd started to move, Lin Zi Prison followed the flow of people towards King K's gate, and Hua Zhai followed Lin Zi Prison without asking.

There were so many people that it was too crowded in front of the gate, and Linzi Prison was bumped by a man with a sharpened head next to him.

"Sorry, sorry." The perpetrator hurriedly stopped, looked up and apologized to Lin Ziyu.

Lin Zijuan froze for a moment before shaking his head, "It's okay."

The perpetrator smiled apologetically, and then stepped in front of Lin Zijuan to join the flow of people... Lin Zijuan glanced at his back, and the feeling of being choked had not subsided.

Although there are everyone in the level, it is really unique to come wearing medieval armor like this.

Especially it's so hot today.

I don't know if I have prickly heat.

Standing on the left side, Hua Zhai crossed Lin Ziyu's back with one hand, pinched Lin Ziyu's right forearm with his fingers and rubbed it lightly, "Does it hurt?"

The armor hit Lin Ziyu's arm just now, but the pain has long since subsided. Hua Zhai stretched his arm over so "relentlessly", it didn't look like he was comforting Lin Ziyu.

It was as if he was hugging Linzi prison awkwardly.

The crowd in front of them was finally stuffed into the gate one by one. The crowd around Linzi Prison and Hua Zhai was finally less crowded. The two of them were almost at the end of the line and slowly entered the gate.

The moment everyone entered, the door slammed shut with a "snap!", completely sealing them inside.

Inside the door, there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the raindrops were so big and urgent that it hurt people.In the rain curtain, you can see a majestic old castle with warm lights inside, full of temptations but no one dares to approach it easily.

The people who came in were all shivered by the heavy rain, and felt a little dazed.

A few seconds later, someone shouted loudly: "Supervisor?! Are you there? Come out and continue talking about your rules!"

The heavy rain suppressed his voice a lot, and the man shouted several times before getting Zheng Qian's faint answer.

"I'm here, and now I'm announcing the first-level rules." Zheng Qian's voice was completely unaffected by the wind and rain, and it reached everyone's ears clearly, "Just now each of you was randomly assigned a card. You are not allowed to reveal your cards to anyone. Once revealed, you will be automatically eliminated. Don’t try to play tricks. I will watch you online the whole time. In addition, you also need to find a challenger with the same card size as yours. You can leave here."

"I repeat the important thing again. You are not allowed to disclose your cards to others in any form. You must pair up in pairs to leave. Everyone has one and only one chance to pair up. If you fail, both of you will be eliminated."

"For example, the three of diamonds and the three of clubs can be successfully paired to leave, and the result of the pairing of three of diamonds and four of diamonds is elimination..."

Before Zheng Qian finished speaking, someone interrupted him in a bad tone: "You can't reveal it, and you can only pair up once. Could it be that we have to rely on luck?"

Zheng Qian paused, ignored the question, and continued on his own: "Okay, I believe everyone has a deep understanding of this rule, and now the time is up to you, I will..."

"How do we pair it?" Seeing that Zheng Qian wanted to turn off the microphone, a passer-by hurriedly asked.

There was a few seconds of silence, and one couldn't help but wonder if Zheng Qian was really offline. Zheng Qian's voice floated slowly: "It's very simple, the two of you hug each other and shout 'pairing'."

"..."

The evil taste of the opener is too heavy, imagine two people who don't know each other's cards, finally make up their minds to choose blindly, muster up the courage to hug each other and shout out their lines...then both are eliminated because the match is unsuccessful.

This picture is simply too beautiful.

·

The wind and rain are getting bigger and bigger, the thunder is rumbling as if it is close to the ear, the content of the level is not real, but the coldness of the body is real.

After being in the shower for a while, some people began to feel unbearable, but the surroundings were pitch black, and there seemed to be no choice but this very suspicious old castle in front of them.

Whether to go or not is a question.

If it wasn't too rainy, the passers-by could stay in place for one night and make plans after dawn.

But the rain was too heavy, and the surroundings were so dark that it was unreasonable. Even if someone took out lighting props, it didn't work, as if they were forcing them to walk towards the castle.

"We won't be wiped out as soon as we come up, we can go there to avoid the rain first." Someone suggested.

As soon as this person finished speaking, another person sneered: "I said, everyone is half-baked, so don't try to pretend to be a pure lie. Other levels may not, but there are examples of all being wiped out at the beginning of the skull area! If you really think there's nothing wrong, why don't you take a few steps first?"

The person in the back was probably made unhappy by the inexplicable heavy rain, and every word he said was tit-for-tat, and his mouth was touched a few times before the person in the earlier one dared not speak again.

With this outburst, the people around had no intention of opening their mouths, so they kept their mouths shut and made their own calculations.

Lin Ziyu has been paying attention to the reactions of these passers-by, and the umbrella Hua Zhai found out from nowhere, covered the two of them in time.

After a stalemate for about 2 minutes, Lin Zijuan took the lead and walked towards the castle.

The people nearby noticed that Lin Zi Prison was moving, "Where are you going?"

"In the castle." Lin Zijuan answered simply.

"But..." The person who asked the question hesitated to speak, and finally did not say anything.

Lin Ziyu and Hua Zhai, with an umbrella, moved towards the castle step by step against the wind.After a while, they arrived at the gate of the castle.

Lin Zijuan looked around, bent his fingers and knocked on the door a few times.

The door opened quickly, and an old man wearing a monocle and wearing formal clothes came out. He scanned the two carefully with the kerosene lamp in his hand, and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

Hua Zhai was the first to speak, and he held the door frame with one hand to prevent the old man from closing the door, "We are travelers passing by, and the wind and rain outside are too strong, so we want to stay overnight."

The old man was noncommittal, but smiled with a strange expression on his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Just for one night?"

Hua Zhai didn't change his expression, "Of course it could be a few nights."

The old man snorted a few times and stepped back: "I'm just the housekeeper. The master is not here, but he will agree. Come in."

Agreeing so simply, it seems that there are more dangers in the castle.

The two followed the butler and entered the door. The inside of the castle was just warm enough to penetrate into one's bones. It was like two worlds inside and outside the castle.
