The whole world, except for the faint sound of cracking coming from the sky, seemed extremely quiet.
The so-called undead have dissipated, and all the buildings have become truly dilapidated.
The power of time is particularly cruel and ruthless in this world, and everything becomes lifeless.
It was quiet in the desolate ruins, and not a single sound could be heard.
Ninety-nine percent of the contestants had already lost consciousness and disappeared into space before, and were unceremoniously disqualified from the competition.
When they woke up in a closed lobby of the cruise ship, what they saw when they looked up was gorgeous decorations, what they heard were elegant string music, and what filled their nostrils was a mouth-watering aroma.
Just like a gorgeous banquet that could only appear in a dream, hundreds of waiters shuttled back and forth in the hall, constantly serving.
However, in such a desirable scene, the contestants who woke up looked at the ugly expressions of the people around them, and they knew the result.
it's over.
For these eliminated contestants, it's all over.
Not only the competition, but also the reputation that many people have accumulated over the years may be completely lost this time.
Moreover, what is even more autistic than these is the hardships they suffered during the game.
This experience was like a nightmare.
Seriously, this game is a crappy experience for most of the contestants.
Not to mention that the difficulty is maxed out, and there are no hints at all, it’s like a headless chicken walking around in it.
Fragile during the day, terrifying at night, this cruel world pushes those confident contestants to the ground and rubs them again and again.
And, the most outrageous thing is that they didn’t even give me any money after the friction!
It's purely a free prostitution, and no clues about the mission are given.
It's really too much.
Even if he still has some humanity and some hints in his ears, he is still like the Riddler and has no substantial value at all.
torture.
Repeated torture.
These contestants have deeply experienced what it means to be manipulated by others, what it means to be blind and at the mercy of others.
Facing that terrible world, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping block, with no ability to resist at all.
During the day, if a village woman suspects you of peeping, she can send you away with a frying pan.
At night, luckily, if she still suspects you of peeping, she can send you away directly with a pan...
That’s fucking outrageous!
No gaming experience at all.
This means that there is no need to pay the registration fee, otherwise there will definitely be a hot-blooded elder brother shouting impassionedly:
"***, refund the money!"
Rhodes was in a corner of the hall, holding a glass of sparkling wine somewhat dullly, looking straight at the rising bubbles inside.
He felt like he was having a dream...
After joining the team of the man with legendary swordsmanship, something was wrong with his memory.
"It seems that I was eliminated while sleeping?"
The last memory is that I closed my eyes, and then my eyes went black.
After that, he felt that his body was no longer his own. He was obviously very tired, but he couldn't recall anything.
"This time... I'm afraid I really won't be able to join a large organization."
Rhodes knows much better than others about his own performance.
Although he had successfully made many moves before, in the end everything was destroyed in the hands of that person.
"Oh... why did you meet a monster?"
Although Rhodes was slightly dissatisfied with Ning Feng, he did not hold any grudge.
He has also experienced many awakenings, and he can still maintain this level of mentality.
His skills are just inferior to those of others.
"I'll look for opportunities later. I think my abilities won't be unrecognized by others."
With fourth-level strength, he can't be considered a weakling anywhere. He came to participate in this competition just because he wanted to be noticed by higher-level people.
After all, he is not young anymore.
After thinking for a long time, Rhodes gradually regained his mood, his eyes became more lively, and suddenly his brows wrinkled slightly.
"Why do I feel like someone is always calling me boss in my head..."
I don’t have gangster dreams, so how could I have such a dream?
And even after waking up, he still had the feeling of hearing hallucinations...
It's like someone is using seven speakers to continuously play 360-degree surround sound around his head.
What a fucking evil!
What happened!?
The vampire Fran is in the shadow in another corner. She will wrap herself tightly in a dark red robe, and there is no danger except that she looks a little strange.
This kind of dressing up is not uncommon, and it does not attract the attention of others.
Her purple eyes kept scanning the people around her, looking for them.
Fran's memory is even stranger.
As a rigorously trained assassin, some of the training she had received was to prevent her from completely losing consciousness.
When she suffers a trauma that her body cannot bear, she will automatically enter a special state. She becomes unconscious but her body can remember her subsequent breath.
In this memory, she first fell into a warm embrace, then the breath of thunder, and then her memory became completely chaotic.
Even though Fran tried her best to remember, she couldn't remember what happened.
"So what happened?"
He actually has the power to cut off his own ability...
In addition, he was seriously injured in the battle with the Skeleton King, so he shouldn't be so healthy now.
Why is my body filled with surging energy now?
Only at the end, she felt that her body seemed to follow its instinct and take in some necessary blood.
"Whose blood did I...drink?"
There is a sweet taste in the mouth, which is a wonderful taste that I have never experienced before, and even my soul feels light.
Powerful, enchanting blood.
Whose blood did he drink in the end?
Licking her lips gently, Fran's eyes were hidden under her hood, looking around passionately, trying to find the contestant with delicious blood.
"Where will you be?"
Every aspect of Jia Silin's cruise ship embodies luxury, and she would like to replace all the equipment with various gemstones and rare metals.
What was provided to them was rare ingredients that would make people blush just by calculating the cost.
By the way, this still does not take into account the hidden external conditions such as the chef's ability and the dining environment.
At this moment, although the banquet was very exciting, the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
There were nearly a thousand people enjoying the banquet in the huge hall, but the Star Chaser competition was not completely over.
The last few contestants can be seen from the perspective of the huge light curtain suspended from the dome.
The game is still going on.
However, what confused everyone was that all these people's perspectives were pitch black.
"The screen is black? What's going on?"
"This is the live broadcast perspective of the remaining people, but why can't they see the situation?"
The contestants who woke up later did not understand. They frowned and stared at the few remaining screens, looking at the marked names.
"What on earth is this? A behind-the-scenes operation?"
"Did you find that you couldn't win, and then you went straight to the dark side? No way?"
Although most of them are still calm and willing to believe that the Jia Silin family will not do anything in this kind of competition, there are not a few who think so.
Because, just from the origins of the few people who persisted in the end, we can see some clues.
It really makes people have to doubt it.
look!
"Watch Club, Watch Club Trial House, Silver Council Jacelin's House, Silver Council Eli's House..."
You see, they are all big forces!
Even the contestant sent by the host Jia Silin's family, the powerless diplomat of the Silver Council, who was not even an ordinary person who was awakened, survived.
You said there was no behind-the-scenes operation!?
Liar, right?
Well, I might as well not even act.
Negative emotions gradually spread in the hall, and even the pleasant string music could not cover it up.
What started as whispers gradually turned into discussions, and finally some people's voices began to become unsuppressible.
"fair!"
"Give us a fair explanation!"
They want a fair explanation.
There are some contestants who are unwilling to accept such an ending!
They believe that as long as they can unite, even the Jia Silin family will be afraid, and they will be able to give them a reasonable explanation.
To be able to participate in the star chaser competition, these talented contestants are not idiots. Wouldn't they be aware of the strength gap between themselves and Jia Silin's family?
They know it clearly.
So, has something like this happened before?
A very interesting point, although it is rare, it does happen.
As the chief chaebol family of the Silver Council, the Jia Silin family really has the capital not to care about the reactions of these people.
Even the Star Chasers themselves are nothing more than a dispensable competitive entertainment project, and people like them are not important at all.
However, out of the need to maintain their aristocratic image, Jia Silin's family usually chooses the most wealthy and generous solution to such situations.
Directly provide money and resources... Use the most straightforward money tactics to directly calm people down.
According to the previous routine, it can be solved safely.
They got what they wanted, and the organizers had less trouble.
only……
The ideal is always plump, but the reality is quite skinny.
Accidents will happen.
In this hall, there are not only people from Jia Silin's family, but also another person.
A tyrannical being who has no intention of being reasonable.
"Ahem."
Like a beast sighing when it stretches its body, a vigorous cough interrupted the gradually accumulated emotions.
With a completely unreasonable attitude, he directly and brutally tore apart the defense.
"What? You don't think my son can survive?"
The rough voice didn't sound loud, but it overwhelmed all other sounds.
Involuntarily, the contestants present looked following the sound.
In the center of the hall, a strong man who had been engrossed in eating raised his head, lifted the dining table and wiped his mouth.
Bob Eli, Anthony's father.
A great nobleman who not only represents the Eli family in terms of blood...
Even in terms of strength, he is qualified enough.
This is a legend.
A legend purely specialized in melee combat.
Bob, who suppressed himself in front of Keynes, was like a tiger coming out of the gate at this moment.
Casually pulling over a contestant who had been shouting before, Bob grabbed his shoulders.
The strong man, who was at least 1.9 meters tall, looked like an ungrown child next to Bob.
Nodding kindly with a kind expression, Bob slowly exerted force on his thick arms.
"Come on, tell me loudly, do you think my son is unable to protect himself? Or do you think he is unable to protect his fiancée?"
Click.
The sound of bones interlacing resounded in the contestant's body. He wanted to struggle, but stopped after seeing Bob's gaze and did not dare to move.
It was a pair of eyes filled with violence, filled with cruelty.
"Go ahead, but I want to remind you first that the Eli family will respond to your answer accordingly."
The Eli family... unlike the wealthy Jacelyn family, this aristocratic family is not good at running a business.
Instead, their family has another prominent name in the Silver Council.
The most famous thing about the Eli family, and what outsiders talk about most, is that they take the initiative to sell force.
If the Jaslin family is a businessman among the nobility, then the Eli family is a mercenary among the aristocracy.
And such two families are unexpectedly compatible in terms of compatibility, and intermarriage between the two families has always existed.
Bob was able to maintain the humility of a younger generation towards Keynes, who was actually his elder, but he was not so gentle towards others.
Looking around the hall, Bob said to him and everyone:
"Boy, before you cause trouble, please clarify the situation for me first!"
"My son and his fiancée are so loving, how could they abandon each other?"
"Are you right?"
…
…
At this moment, in the Star Chaser Land, a large hole penetrates to the lowest level of the palace, and Anthony is unconscious in it.
First, he was controlled by the gods and his energy was overdrawn, and then he was brutally hit here by Ning Feng.
A slender figure in a dress pushed aside the gravel and appeared here with difficulty.
"Anthony! Where are you!?"
Sophie appeared. She was constantly calling her fiancé's name, looking for him.
"You're...Anthony!"
But when Sophie really saw Anthony's unconscious state, her anxious expression became calm and she looked around.
He slowly came to Anthony's side and called softly several times, but there was no response.
After a moment of silence, she reached for her chest and quickly found a special small dagger.
Pull the dagger out of its sheath, then point it at Anthony's throat and slowly raise it.
Thinking back to the task my grandfather gave me that night.
The mission of Jia Silin’s family…
Sophie's movements also became firmer little by little.
Lifting her right hand forcefully, Sophie's expression turned completely cold.
At that moment, her look, the indifference in her eyes... were almost exactly the same as Keynes!
