"Substitution?" The host reconfirmed, "The next level hasn't appeared yet, so you gave up so early? You are so good, the next level must be a piece of cake."
Flower Boy insisted: "I apply for a substitution."
"Okay. But the team members are the ones who make the final decision." The host raised his left hand not reluctantly, "Then, all team members, please vote on whether you agree to the application of the third challenger and who you want to exchange with!"
"I've already made up my mind." The beautiful boy cast his gaze over, "I want to exchange with the captain."
Du Yixin met his eyes, and before he could speak, the two sisters on the side whispered: "I, I agree."
Three to two, the exchange is established.
The voting proceeded too quickly, and there was no room for negotiation. But Du Yixin quickly understood.
I see.
This guy sneakily pulled people aside just now, just to discuss this matter? But even if he negotiated in person, he would not refuse.
Huameinan saw that he didn't say much, and a stone fell from his heart. But when he noticed the gaze of the person next to him, he still felt shivering.
Yeah, it's never the interim captain that's scary, it's the other guy.
"Please don't do this, I have no intention of confronting you. You have seen my ability, and it is only useful on special occasions. If there is no water, I am not much different from an ordinary person. I am confident that I will pass this level, but It won’t be so in the next level.”
"And..." the beautiful boy looked at Du Yixin, "If you want to let these two girls go, I'm afraid it will be nothing. So put the bet on you, the chance of winning is higher."
Ying Sheng raised his eyebrows, but didn't reply.
The handsome man bravely continued, "Even if you kill me now, it's useless. The exchange has already been established. Unless you kill the mastermind now, he will definitely be punished."
Ying Sheng smiled: "Interesting, are you threatening me?"
"I'm just clarifying the facts." Cold sweat oozes from the young man's forehead.
Originally, he didn't want to expose his ability so early, but according to his observation of the situation on the field, it was very likely that it would be his turn. It's better to act first and get the tickets for the sisters.
At least in this round, he has the confidence to win.
If the other party cannot accept this result no matter what, then they can only speak based on their strength. This is why he chose to propose a substitution at this time. After all, this venue is conducive to the display of his ability - it is not certain who wins or loses.
The beautiful boy restrained his uneasiness and concentrated on it. Behind him, the surface of the river was boiling faintly, which seemed to be a precursor to an eruption.
Ying Cheng half-closed his eyes, leaned over and held the stick.
"Wait!" Du Yixin grabbed his companion and interrupted the tense atmosphere between the two, "He is right. The exchange has been established, let me play in the next round."
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, he sighed and said, "I know you're worried about me, but..."
Worried about him
Ying Sheng couldn't help being stunned, as if he just realized what he was doing. The exchange agreement has been completed, he has achieved his goal and left the organization, why should he protect this weak chicken.
And most importantly, this guy doesn't appreciate it.
"The devil is worried about you, I just see this guy is upset!" Ying Sheng turned his head and put the metal bat into his backpack, "You can do whatever you want. Even if you die, I won't help collect the body."
Du Yixin is very used to the other party's duplicity.
It's a foregone conclusion. The people in front boarded the helicopter first, and Du Yixin wanted to follow, but was stopped by the host.
The other party laughed and said, "The challenger of the next level should sit with me."
Du Yixin was taken aback. Does this mean that he wants to separate from his teammates
Although the challenges so far are all acting alone, but what is the purpose of isolating the two parties this time
Ying Sheng, who was walking in front, glanced back, but finally jumped into the cabin without saying anything.
Du Yixin sighed as the door closed in front of his eyes.
He felt that the other party seemed a little angry, probably because he rejected the other party's kindness. But you can't really watch these two fight. He didn't doubt that Ying Sheng would lose, but it was just a waste of effort.
What Huameinan said is correct, unless the mastermind behind this dungeon is defeated, there is no way to change the status quo.
Follow the host into the helicopter, and with the noisy and disorderly sound of propellers, the body slowly rises. Looking down, I saw the lake sparkling, as if glowing with silver light. A small boat stood quietly on it, extremely peaceful.
Looking away, Du Yixin asked the host next to him: "Can I check the current progress?"
The ceramic figure turned to look at him, grinning: "What progress?"
Looking at it up close, it really is a shocking face.
Du Yixin explained: "The big screen at the starting point marked the number of survivors and their coordinates."
"That's it." The host refused, "This is not allowed, that is the winner's reward. You can only watch it if you pass this level."
He just tried to ask, but didn't force it. Since I don't know how fast the other teams are attacking, I want to check if I'm lagging behind. But this matter can't be rushed, let's consider the situation of this level first.
A few minutes later, the helicopter landed in front of a forest not far from the river bank.
Du Yixin stepped down and looked around for no one, including Ying Sheng and the others. I turned around to ask, but found that the host sat back again. The propellers did not stop, and the fuselage took off again.
"Hey! Wait!" Du Yixin ran a few steps to chase after him, but he couldn't make it in time.
The ceramic doll opened the door and dropped something. Du Yixin caught it dangerously, and took a closer look. It was an old-fashioned mobile phone, which only had the simplest function of answering calls.
At this time, the host began to introduce the microphone again: "The third level, the cannibal maze!"
"Challengers, please pay attention, the forest in front of you is a terrifying man-eating maze. You need to go through the forest and find the exit. There are terrible piranhas growing inside, so be careful not to go the wrong way."
The forest that comes into view is not wild, but artificially planted. Pieces are clustered into squares, and the soil sandwiched in the middle just forms a jumping road. There is a wooden sign at the entrance, with the name of the maze written crookedly.
Unlike the previous two times, the level this time seems to be a puzzle. But what is this phone for
The appearance is a very simple flip phone, there are no applications inside, and the address book and information are also blank.
The host was dissatisfied: "I haven't said that I can turn on the phone. Really, so impatient."
"What's the use of this thing, someone will call me?" Du Yixin joked, putting the phone close to his ear. As a result, the next second, the phone rang next to my ear.
"Beep-beep-"
The most monotonous default ringtone, accompanied by buzzing vibrations, seems to be urging.
"I haven't said I can fight yet!" The host yelled into the air, not knowing who he was talking to.
The caller ID is a string of unfamiliar numbers. Du Yixin did not act on his own this time: "Can I pick it up?"
"Really, the rules are not finished." The host muttered, and suddenly smiled brightly, "But it's not an important rule, just ignore it."
"..." Du Yixin suddenly felt uneasy.
"Then the third level officially begins! Come on, let's get out of the maze, I'm optimistic about you, boy." After saying these words, the helicopter circled away and rose to a higher position.
From Du Yixin's perspective, the host was no longer visible.
And after such a delay, the ringtone of the mobile phone was cut off. He hesitated for a moment, then called back, and the one who answered the phone was a childish voice: "Hello, hello?"
It seems to be one of the two sisters.
"Hello?" he responded.
