Doomsday Cruise

Chapter 21: Mr. A's Circus 8

Views:

For the Leap of Faith project, the pattern on the ticket is a tall flagpole, with a rope tied to a person's feet, jumping from top to bottom, in short, it is bungee jumping.

This project is on the east side of the circus, looking at the height, and in line with the westernmost witch's divination hut. Mo Xiaoyao and Jiang Yan's current positions are still some distance away from that side. Now that the two have made up their minds, they will go there directly.

The further you go, the more people there are, not only NPCs, but also players on the same ship. Everyone's face is in a hurry, some are in a team, and some are acting alone, but there is no one blocking the way to rob like the Tiger Gang just now.

As Mo Xiaoyao was walking, he suddenly said something like this: "Tell me, did they see it?"

Jiang Yan knew what she was worried about: "So what if you see it, so what if you don't see it? Can you still kill them one by one?"

Mo Xiaoyao stopped talking, and when she came back to her senses, she also knew that she had gone too far just now, and the best way to deal with it was to release the little monster, deal with everyone within ten seconds, and then quickly get away and leave, pretending to be It has nothing to do with me.

It's a pity it's over.

Jiang Yan didn't comfort Mo Xiaoyao, he didn't want to change teammates frequently, so he had to let his teammates grow up quickly.

There is no such thing as pity for fragrance and pity for jade.

"I've caused you trouble." Mo Xiaoyao didn't think about confusing his mistake, and apologized to Jiang Yan in a bachelor's manner, "If you think I'm a drag, I won't blame you if you cancel the contract after you go back. "

Jiang Yan raised his eyelids and glanced at the girl who was looking at him, the corners of his lips curled up, and he continued to walk forward: "That's not necessary, I'm already mentally prepared."

Mo Xiaoyao didn't quite understand. After thinking about it, he felt that his attitude should be better. After all, he was at fault first: "What kind of mental preparation?"

Jiang Yan answered it as a matter of course: "I was dragged down. In this world, everyone is the same except myself."

Mo Xiaoyao resisted the desire to roll her eyes, she regretted it a bit, is it really okay to find such a narcissistic teammate? I don't know if it's too late to quit now.

He groaned in his heart, the uneasiness just now dissipated a little, and the tightness in his chest after the first murder also dissipated a lot.

The two walked for a while, and passed by a project with the most people around. Mo Xiaoyao stood on tiptoe and took a look, as if he was fishing for goldfish.

Fishing for goldfish on the ticket is only for tokens, not for stamps, which is of no use to her now.

Jiang Yan also noticed it, glanced at it casually, and said, "Want to play? Wait until the chapters are all completed."

Mo Xiaoyao twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that the tone of coaxing the child was her hallucination. To be honest, until now, she hadn't figured out what kind of character her teammate had. You can say that he is indifferent, but sometimes he is very warm, but you can say that he is warm and considerate, and sometimes he can make people vomit blood when he speaks.

The only thing that is certain is that this man is quite reliable, he is limited to being a teammate, he can think about everything, he belongs to the "thigh" type.

As for himself, Mo Xiaoyao was sure it wasn't a leg pendant, maybe not another thigh, but at least it was a tibia, not leg hair.

In order to ease the embarrassing atmosphere and to deepen their understanding of each other, the two of them talked at random along the way. Mo Xiaoyao told Jiang Yan about meeting Zhou Jun before, and told him to pay attention to that fat man, and not to sign any weird contract after being caught in the body.

Jiang Yan analyzed Zhou Jun's ability: "If you can't fake your skills, then he can't use them for at least 22 hours. There is no threat."

Mo Xiaoyao held a different opinion: "He only showed the first one. What if there is a second one as an auxiliary? You don't know the option of 'display one by one' because you only have one ability?"

Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, then coughed twice unnaturally: "I only have one for the time being."

"Oh." Mo Xiaoyao finally couldn't help it this time, turned his head and rolled his eyes where no one could see.

Jiang Yan's face was paralyzed, and he pretended not to see the small movements of his teammates around him. He quickened his pace a little: "The earth didn't take you to blow up, it's not for you to continue wasting your life."

Mo Xiaoyao: Hehe. I have many skills, is it my fault

Said it was a long distance, compared the map and road signs, stopped and walked, about 10 minutes or so, the two walked to the side of the sign marked with the Leap of Faith project under the project, looked up at the platform that was at least 5 or 6 meters high.

11:58:15

It's still the old rule, you can't see anything outside the project, you can only see the situation inside if you buy a ticket to go in.

Mo Xiaoyao hesitated a bit: "Are you sure you really want to go in? It's one star for me, but three stars for you. Why don't you let me go in and see the situation first?"

Jiang Yan pointed to the poster next to the ticket booth, and raised his chin: "Look at the poster first."

Mo Xiaoyao walked over and saw that the poster was exactly the same as the one outside the strange fish tank before, and it was also performed by a few NPC villains inside.

First, the two villains climbed up the high platform one after the other, then villain A stood in front, villain B took a step back, and chose a rope for villain A from a pile of ropes, and then the NPC staff gave it to him. It is tied to the foot, and Little Man A jumps off.

The place on the ground was originally flat, but a big hole suddenly opened. Villain A happened to stop on the gap, and was dragged back to the high platform by the rope. After several repetitions, an NPC came to help it untie, and then the two Each of the villains had an extra badge on their tickets, and happily left the project holding hands.

"Look... okay?" Mo Xiaoyao stared at the poster that repeated this scene, "It seems to be a team of two, one is in charge of jumping, and the other is in charge of choosing the rope."

Jiang Yan put his arms around his shoulders, raised the corners of his lips, and said in a cool tone: "Good observation skills, and good math."

Mo Xiaoyao ignored his intermittent convulsions, pointed to the poster, measured his body and asked him: "If you want to go in, will you choose the rope or jump?"

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, and honestly confided his inner thoughts: "I want to choose that NPC who binds people."

Mo Xiaoyao was expressionless.

Jiang Yan clenched his fist and brought it to his mouth and coughed: "I want to choose a rope."

Mo Xiaoyao thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "Then I will jump. But I will choose the rope myself, you just listen to me."

Jiang Yan nodded in agreement: "He should be responsible for his own life."

Mo Xiaoyao glanced at him, turned around and took out the tokens and handed them to the window of the ticket booth: "I just trust my intuition and luck more."

Jiang Yan followed her, also bought a ticket, and asked as she walked, "Why are you so sure that you are luckier than me?"

Mo Xiaoyao walked to the entrance, stopped and waited for him: "Aren't you unlucky enough to meet a teammate like me?"

Jiang Yan: ... Heh.

With a poisonous tongue like him, at this moment, he doesn't know what to say.

Neither of them is of a procrastinating nature. Now that they decided on this project, they stopped hesitating. They stepped into the entrance of the project one after the other, and a new scene was cut in front of them.

The background is still the background of the circus, and the high platform is still the one seen outside the project, but now it is clearer. The wood painted dark red is built like an iron tower, and there is a faint smell of wet paint. .

On each floor of the tower, just as it was painted on the posters outside, there were randomly nailed up many faces of tarot cards, one on each of the four sides of the floor. Some of the patterns are the same, while others are different. It looks very messy, as if the craftsman randomly picked one of the materials provided and nailed it on, regardless of the content.

Mo Xiaoyao was thoughtful, and the poster still revealed the key information of the project. Knowing that his guess was right, he was more or less settled.

There is no elevator for climbing the tower. The same wooden stairs circle around the inside of the high platform. From the bottom to the top, it looks like a spring, narrow and curved, and there are quite a lot of circles.

Jiang Yan was the first to step up, and Mo Xiaoyao followed closely behind. The two climbed the stairs unhurriedly.

When they got to the top, they realized that there were already 4 people who had arrived before them, and they were leaning on the fence looking at the scenery boredly. When they saw the two of them coming, their faces were filled with joy.

"But someone came. This shitty project requires three groups of people to start. If the time flow in the project is not the same as that outside, I will be anxious to death just waiting for someone."

The person who spoke was a tall and thin young man, he looked about 20 years old, his appearance was average, and his hair was also an average student style. He might be a student who just entered college, and he was thrown into the crowd, so he couldn't find it kind.

The one with him was a fair and clean girl, the two of them might have known each other before, when Mo Xiaoyao came up, he happened to see the two of them holding hands and talking with an intimate look, unlike her and Jiang Yan. For those who formed a temporary team, sometimes the atmosphere was so awkward that crows would fly across with the ellipsis.

The other group consisted of two middle-aged men, both of whom were of a more robust type. Their speech and behavior were somewhat similar, but their expressions were not as close as those of the other group. The few scattered conversations they heard when they came up just now were also very polite. .

Mo Xiaoyao guessed that these two people either formed the team after entering the dungeon, or formed the team after entering this project, and there must be no tacit understanding and trust between them. In this way, her team and Jiang Yan's team are more than enough than the top and the bottom is more than enough, occupying the middle one.

After seeing everyone, the high-hat NPC in charge of the project started to move, guessing that the number of people was the trigger for his action.

"Welcome to the 'Leap of Faith' project. I am the project leader 'Mr. High Hat'. This game requires two people to play in a team. Please make your own group and choose your position."

Mr. Gao Hat's voice sounded a little hollow, like someone speaking in an empty bathroom, with a little echo.

Mo Xiaoyao swept his eyes and saw the four sides of the high platform. There were small wooden planks protruding outwards in the east, west and south directions, which were presumably used as springboards. On the north side, there is a large screen, which is divided into three parts vertically from left to right, recording three positions in the east, west and south respectively.

Those two groups had already found their seats, maybe they came in the order they came, or maybe they chose a place with good geomantic omen, and only vacated the west table for Mo Xiaoyao and Jiang Yan .

According to what was said before, Mo Xiaoyao walked up to the springboard, looked at both sides, and then saw the girl in the young couple on the edge of the platform in the south, who happened to be looking at her, her eyes couldn't stop Regret and sympathy.

Mo Xiaoyao thought about it for a while, and immediately understood. He guessed that the girl regarded her and Jiang Yan as a couple like them, and thought that he was too tasteless, so she chose to let her girlfriend dance.

If she knew that Mo Xiaoyao would choose the rope later, wouldn't she despise Jiang Yan even more? Mo Xiaoyao pursed her lips and looked back at Jiang Yan, hoping that he would keep his promise, or in other words, not interfere with her judgment in terms of the non-interference contract they signed.

"The location is selected, please help me choose the first rope."

After the words of Mr. Gao Hat fell, three ropes appeared out of nowhere from top to bottom on the side of each springboard towards the high platform, some were long and some were short, some were thick and some were thin. Holding a small wooden tarot card.

Mo Xiaoyao glanced sideways at the three cards on his side.

— Upright chariot

— Reversed chariot

— Righteous Judgment

Mo Xiaoyao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the card he had guessed appeared, and then, under Jiang Yan's steadfast gaze, raised his finger and pointed to the card he had chosen.

Buy it and leave it, and the rest depends on whether her reasoning is correct.

The author has something to say:

Let me explain a little bit, because I didn't write clearly enough before. In Xiaoyao's strange fish tank game, it was judged that all three goals hit the target, and the people on the water tank fell into the water tank. The three balls were not thrown, and the person who threw the ball was clicked by the clown cardboard. If it is too obvious to cheat by releasing water when throwing the ball, you will be penalized, and the ball will directly change its route and hit directly. A pitch is only considered correct if it is thrown within a range around the target, just like in baseball, there is a range of strikes and strikes.

The situation at that time was that two targets fell down, another fat man died, and Xiao Yao died. Two red cross marks for not throwing the ball, and another Xiaoyao dies. So Xiaoyao threw the last ball into the range of the target but missed the target. She did not violate the rules. She was only sentenced to miss. The fat man did not fall into the water tank to win, and Xiaoyao did not need to die.
