"Are you two sure? If necessary, I can find a way to contact my brother. It's not troublesome." Qi Bing looked at Wang Xu and Master Mao who were sorting out their equipment.
Elbert said sideways: "Yes, in fact, we can also go together. It is always good to have more people to help."
Master Cat was still busy with the matter in hand, and replied impatiently: "There are only two types of people who can participate in this incident, the first type is those who have tickets, that is, people like Wang Xu, and the second type is those who are subject to The people invited by the fun organizers." He pointed to himself: "Other people, don't waste the air ticket money, maybe they will send it back directly." He forced a laptop into the I entered a suitcase that was already full of various trivial items, and then let out a long breath: "I only hope that this is the last time I will deal with those demons, and then I can successfully recover from hunting ghosts in the next few years." The world retreats, the whole plan is as simple as tearing off a Band-Aid, and an event like this is needed to end it."
Wang Xu continued: "As for me, it's for money and women."
Qi Bing said coldly: "Can't you just say a noble reason? Just like... um... what other normal humans do."
Wang Xu sighed with a very embarrassing expression: "Everyone in the world is burdened with empty ideals and moral shackles. Let them go as they like. We smart people can speak a little more bluntly. Remember, people in this world Everything revolves around two things - money and women."
"Good words." Master Cat said, he turned to look at Qi Bing and Albert: "You should write this sentence down, and read it when you have time."
Before the two men could react, Wang Xu said again: "Is this a good word? I can open my mouth to come up with this kind of sentence." He looked up at a forty-five-degree angle with a more profound look. Looking at the ceiling: "3P is every man's dream." Then he looked back at the other three: "Look, how about this sentence, it's almost at the same level as 'time is money', right?"
Qi Bing lowered his head, his expression was dignified, and his eyes gradually deepened.
Wang Xu asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Your lower limit..."
"Um… "
Master Mao interrupted at this moment: "I have another question, what's your little girlfriend's attitude towards your trip?"
Wang Xu frowned and said: "Well... how should I put it... After I told her the matter, she unexpectedly asked me to rescue Yan Li unscathed."
After a moment of contemplation, Master Mao said, "Can this be understood as the relationship between the two of them is actually not that tense?"
Wang Xu spread his hands: "How do I know? According to me, it can be understood as..." He looked up at the ceiling again: "3P is also every woman's dream."
Even Albert lowered his head this time, looking for something unlikely to be found.
…
The seven-day time limit was coming to an end, Wang Xu and Master Mao were ready to go, and set foot on the flight to New York two days in advance. At the same time, there are also several people who are heading towards the same destination as them from all over the world...
New York, Timessquare, in fact, this place should be translated as "Times Square", but everyone is used to "Times Square", and no one cares about the difference between the two names, just like City of New York is the official name of New York City, Who cares? We only know the name NewYorkCity.
Closer to home, at noon on the seventh day, at the intersection of West 42nd Street and Broadway, in this place known as the "crossroads of the world", four of the most notorious guys in hell gathered.
I don’t know from which year, the four of them have been called the “Four Bitches from Hell”, yes, they are the Bitches, and their reactions to this name are either indifference, or they just smile wretchedly and refuse to comment, the only one It was Simon who had a strong dislike. Obviously he killed many people in the first few years when he heard the nickname, but the reality is that some signs cannot be suppressed by force. In this case, Simon's behavior played a role opposite effect.
Closer to home after another, they're here today not because someone put a cat bone wrapped in a picture of themselves in a box and buried it in the ground (mentioned before, the method of summoning demons at the crossroads, ok , maybe no one cares if I say it or not). But because an unprecedented game is about to begin.
As Vincent said, this game is about life and death, past and future, it is the beacon of fate, the bond of time and space. What it means to this world cannot even be described in any words. And the most important point is that there is only one winner.
The bustling crowd gradually thinned out, and after about fifteen minutes, there were only a dozen people left on the street, and not even a single car could be found on the road. Except for the early morning, it was impossible for such a scene to appear on this street, but at this noon, the impossible became possible.
On the big screen in the square, a close-up of Vincent suddenly appeared. He was still smiling and calm. Today, the four of them are all wearing a black suit that looks expensive, as if they are going to attend an important occasion like an award ceremony.
Clearing his throat, he said, "Everyone, you are all on time. I noticed that some people have been wandering around since last night, like elementary school students looking forward to a spring outing." He adjusted his tie position: "Then, please show your respective tickets."
Wang Xu looked at the surrounding people and saw that these guys took out dolls, crutches, alarm clocks and other objects one after another. He shrugged and pulled out the hatchet from his waist.
"Very good, please take good care of your tickets, which play a very important role in the game." Vincent raised his voice slightly: "Every contestant holding a ticket, you know in your heart, I have something important to you, or an important person, in short, I have provided everyone with a very good reason to participate." His eyes fell on Master Mao: "As for whether you are around Travelers with tickets, let me explain now, they are the consultants I have carefully selected for you, each of you has one, I believe you are also full of confidence in the abilities of your respective consultants."
He snapped his fingers, and the picture on the big screen behind him began to change: "Let me explain the rules of the game now."
"Wait." The man holding the alarm clock suddenly interrupted Vincent's speech.
Everyone turned to look at him. This is a very ordinary-looking man, Asian, with short black hair, and his jacket and jeans are not eye-catching. And the consultant next to him was an old man in his sixties, wearing a dirty hat, and he seemed to be in good health.
"Hey hey... what? Do you want to go to the toilet? Classmate." Woody smiled wretchedly.
The only person who could laugh when he heard this joke was Wang Xu, but his laughter stopped embarrassingly under the incomprehensible gazes from everyone.
The jacket man continued: "I just want to know why. Why did you choose us for this so-called game? Also, if you can't complete the game, will you destroy the things you used to blackmail us?"
Vincent smiled and said: "Oh, this... I am not the one who chooses you, but a higher existence. You have no right to know any information about him, so I will not tell you the selection criteria. As for what you said The 'coercion'... is just a way for me to ensure that you will definitely come. I don't need to destroy those people or things that are important to you, because those are not important to me.
I can tell you clearly now that even if I don't win the final victory, I will give you back what I took from you. As for the final winner, he will also get the super prize of this game. Does this answer satisfy you? "
The man in the jacket immediately said: "Then I will abstain now!"
"Ah~" Vincent shook his fingers: "This is not possible, it is impossible to abstain. The New York you are in now is a city that you cannot leave. Whether you walk, fly, teleport, or use any The existing means of transportation for human beings, even the booster rockets of the space agency, the wind-seeing Asrada... There is absolutely no feasible way to leave here, except of course, 'death'."
When everyone was silent, Master Cat yawned and muttered in a low voice: "I expected it..."
But Wang Xu looked at Vincent with very shocked eyes: "Is Aslada real?"
Vincent smiled as usual, he ignored Wang Xu and Master Mao, and continued: "If you don't believe it, you can try it, even if you fly out towards the Atlantic Ocean, fly him for a few days and nights, wait When you turn your head, what you see must be the east coast of the United States that is close at hand. If you are lucky, you can still see the Statue of Liberty. These are some tricks of our high-level demons, similar to the Penrose Staircase, not complicated, but Very effective." He proudly raised one corner of his mouth: "I know what everyone is thinking, and it doesn't seem to be a problem for you to feel that you can't leave at the moment, as long as you stay in the city with nothing to do until someone wins the game, you will be fine." Is it possible to go back home? Hehe... I must tell you, that is also impossible."
Vincent turned around slowly, and a new picture appeared on the big screen in the square behind him. It seemed to be some kind of animated poster in the early 1980s. The whole picture was divided into four parts, namely the sky and the sky. , Ocean, Earth and Flame in four styles.
Among the more than ten people present, two of them changed their expressions the moment they saw the painting, and their eyes were filled with surprise and excitement. Of these two people, one is Wang Xu and the other is Li Yadi.
Vincent continued what he said just now: "As for the reason, you will understand when the game officially starts. Now, let me continue the explanation just now." He glanced behind him from the corner of his eye: "Who dares to interrupt me again, I will Just tear his soul to shreds, grind it into powder, add it to marijuana crackers, and throw it in the boys' dorm at the community college."
