The other two groups also knew that they had to choose the rope, but they had no idea how to choose. They were only focused on discussing with each other, not noticing that Mo Xiaoyao had already finished choosing the rope.

Mo Xiaoyao chose it based on the tarot cards she had drawn in the divination hut before. She had thought about it for a long time before, and the difference between her and Jiang Yan was only this, and the only thing left was the whack-a-mole project that he had cleared.

She also asked about that, and Jiang Yan told her that there was nothing related to tarot cards in it. And the person marked with one star on the ticket is herself, not Jiang Yan, which is enough to explain the problem.

Other projects are unknown, but this one still has some ideas, which is why Mo Xiaoyao chose the seemingly risky "leap of faith".

And Jiang Yan's whack-a-mole is a solo event, and she has already described the specific situation of the event in detail to her, so she can go by herself in a while.

Only this still requires cooperation. She needs a reliable partner, not someone who will stab her in the back. In fact, Mo Xiaoyao considered copying Zhou Jun's contract skills before, but unfortunately she used up one of her crystals when copying the Tarot cards. The system reminded her that she was short of crystals, and she didn't know if it was one or N. In short No way.

Under the urging of Mr. Gao Hat, the two groups over there also quickly selected their own ropes. After the three of them were sure, the other two ropes slowly lifted into the air, leaving only the selected one like a spirit. Like a snake, it suddenly descended and wrapped around the feet of three players who were about to jump off.

Mo Xiaoyao was startled at first, and then he realized that his legs were tied tightly together, his toes could barely be separated, but his ankles touched his ankles, and he couldn't move at all. Let alone walking like this, even if you want to reach the edge of the springboard, you have to jump across it by yourself without the help of your companions.

Jiang Yan walked behind Mo Xiaoyao, and asked in a very gentlemanly manner: "Do you need my help?"

Mo Xiaoyao herself was very nervous, not knowing whether her guess was right or not, no matter how confident she was, she couldn't really relax until the answer came out.

He was already nervous, but was tied tightly by Mr. Gao Hat's rope, and after hearing Jiang Yan's questioning like a normal person, Mo Xiaoyao replied angrily: "Help me? Push me down?"

Jiang Yan said with a blank expression, "Okay. Slow or fast, it's up to you to choose."

Mo Xiaoyao laughed angrily, and just wanted to ridicule Jiang Yan, but heard a piercing whistle, and then his feet suddenly emptied, his body sank suddenly, and he swung out with inertia.

Mo Xiaoyao realized that the ground he was stepping on violated the laws of physics and disappeared out of thin air when he changed from upright to a big head down.

At this moment, Mo Xiaoyao suddenly had an understanding in his heart. No wonder she was tied so tightly. It turned out that she didn't have to walk at all.

Go to him!

Her heart almost stopped beating.

The wind whizzed by his ears, perhaps only a second had passed, but Mo Xiaoyao felt as if a century had passed.

Accompanied by a crisp "click" sound and a scream, Mo Xiaoyao felt her feet tightened, as if the rope had come to an end, and it stretched completely with a whoosh, hanging her upside down in the air.

There was no rebound as expected, Mo Xiaoyao seemed to be fixed by something invisible, not even a slight shake, just hanging there so straight. If it wasn't for his heartbeat and breathing, Mo Xiaoyao would have suspected that he was actually a corpse.

Counting silently for 3 seconds, Mo Xiaoyao faintly heard cries from above the stage, guessing that there might be something wrong with the other two groups. She tried to twist her neck to have a look, but found that there was a high platform blocking it, and she could only see the rope and feet indistinctly, but nothing else.

The system is still very humane. Just when Mo Xiaoyao was thinking about how long he would have to hang here, he heard a "squeak" sound of the machine turning, which made his ears uncomfortable. Especially when I can't see what's going on, it's very frustrating.

But soon, Mo Xiaoyao regretted her curiosity. She found that she was moving slowly. The fellow sufferers who were hanging upside down moved closer.

Well, this brother is quite miserable, he is already out of breath.

Mo Xiaoyao raised her neck vigorously and looked at the ground, a pool of glaring blood was just below her current position. Turning back to his neck, Mo Xiaoyao looked at the corpse next to him that he could touch with his hand. Seeing the undried blood continued to drip down his neck, he knew that it was indeed the one he just made.

This is the male of the student couple. He chose the platform in the south, but he didn't know why something happened to him suddenly.

On the other side of this unlucky ghost, the middle-aged man was turned over by the system just like Mo Xiaoyao. Compared to Mo Xiaoyao's calmness, he was so frightened that his face paled, and he muttered something, because his voice was too low for others to hear.

About 5 seconds later, the machine was running again, as if a winch had appeared on it, and it took in the rope that bound the three people round and round, pulling them up inch by inch.

Mo Xiaoyao didn't know if this level was considered over, but since it was all right, it proved that her guess was correct, so she was completely relieved, and waited for a while to go up to Mr. Gao Hat to announce whether it was a game clearance, or to do it again .

Since the card was drawn three times at the Witch, it must have been impossible to only jump once.

Thinking in her mind, Mo Xiaoyao seemed to catch something out of the corner of her eye. She turned her neck to look at the dead brother beside her, and found that he did not know when, but suddenly changed.

His whole body seemed to be crushed by a steamroller, slowly shrinking and becoming flattened, and then starting from the feet, the whole body seemed to be faded, losing the original color of the clothes, shoes and socks, and instead covered with a layer Lead gray, it looks rather creepy.

Then, the appearance of his face also began to change, it no longer looked like a person, but gradually evolved into a strangely shaped scepter. Although the others were hanging upside down, the scepter rushed up from the handle, no matter how you looked at it, it was upright.

The transformation has been proceeding slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when Mo Xiaoyao found himself suddenly free and down-to-earth, the unlucky student brother had also completed all the transformations.

His girlfriend had been paralyzed on the high platform since she found out that her boyfriend had died suddenly. Except for the scream, she kept covering her mouth and staring at the big screen, kneeling on the ground and crying nonstop.

She had watched the whole process of her boyfriend's transformation, and her fear and panic at this time was far greater than the news of her boyfriend's death. After the three people here returned to the high platform, she tremblingly rubbed on the ground and turned around. , looking at the scepter that kept beating "Du, Du, Du".

"Jin, Jin Wei?" The girl's voice changed, "You, don't scare me, you know I'm timid..."

The scepter was still beating in the same place "Du, Du, Du". Under this situation, there was something strange about it.

The rest of the people, including Mo Xiaoyao, all backed away a little, giving up the blank space around them for it to dance, and didn't intend to meddle in their own business to help.

In fact, I don't know how to help. To grab the scepter? None of those present were willing. Help the girl and run quickly? The table is so big, and you can't quit the project, where else can you go? In case one fails to stand properly, and another stumbles and falls, it will be really over.

The girl may have thought of this too, and she hasn't moved since she turned around, but the tears flowed more and more fiercely, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

No one expected that the one who broke the deadlock was the silent Mr. High Hat. It took a few steps forward and reached the side of the scepter. As soon as it stretched out a finger, the scepter reacted like fear. It seemed to be waiting for orders, only standing upright, but no longer beating.

"Go where you need to go."

Mr. Gao Hat spoke, the scepter whimpered, and jumped again, only this time it did not maintain the same frequency and the same height every time as before, but each time it jumped higher than the last time, until After jumping for 4 or 5 times and building up enough strength, he jumped off the high platform and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Mo Xiaoyao squinted his eyes and made a calculation. That place should be the forest where he stayed in the first place. The innermost part is the witch's divination hut. I just don't know if the scepter was put away by the witch in the past, or it is the same as the previous queen. , were hung from those trees.

It should be the latter.

For some reason, Mo Xiaoyao felt that when Mr. Gao hat let the scepter leave just now, his tone of voice was slightly different from what he said to them. Of course, it is also possible that she was thinking too much, or that she was hung upside down for too long, and her brain was congested, which led to auditory hallucinations. In fact, this is not the case at all.

But no matter what it is, looking at the current situation, it is obvious that the game has no intention of ending, and the next round will continue.

Sure enough, after dismissing the scepter, Mr. Gao hat once again faced the remaining 5 people, first pointed at the girl who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, and the hollow voice sounded again: "The first jumper quits the game, the second jumper quits the game, Jumpers, please stand in front of the stage."

After that, he didn't care what the girl's expression was, and turned to look at Mo Xiaoyao and the others. The tall hat on his head turned in a circle, and then he said: "The remaining two groups are complete, please decide within 1 minute. Two-round jumper, and get ready."

Mo Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows. Can players be changed in the middle of the game

Jiang Yan came over: "Do you want to change?"

Mo Xiaoyao raised his eyes to look at him: "It's so dangerous, you still want to change?" The two middle-aged people next to him were about to pinch each other, their faces were red from arguing, and the one on her side even offered himself

Jiang Yan replied indifferently: "You are fine, and I will be fine."

Mo Xiaoyao snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows: "What's the reason? God loves stupid kids?"

Jiang Yan shrugged: "Then I must not be favored by you."

Mo Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, and finally, because of the limited time, he raised his chin and nodded to the girl standing up tremblingly: "Go and ask her what she chose in the last round. Give me the jump in one round."

Jiang Yan stood still: "Then you should dance."

Mo Xiaoyao: "What?"

Jiang Yan crossed his arms and said, "I've seen the other two groups after you finished the selection."

Under Mo Xiaoyao's surprised gaze, Jiang Yan raised his left hand slightly, and pointed at the middle-aged man with his index finger: "They are the tall tower, the star, and the god of death. They chose the star. They —" He withdrew his left hand and raised his right index finger again, "The reversed scepter, the righted sword, and the righted lover. I chose the righted lover."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yan added another sentence: "The options are all different, even if you know the answer, it won't be informative unless they know what their next card is."

Mo Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, and in the last few seconds of the 1-minute countdown, he said softly: "At least I know that one of the three cards in the next round must be—"

- Upright Fool.

The second tarot card that Mo Xiaoyao drew from the witch.
