"Congratulations on your successful passing of [Xenophobia - The Abyss of Crazy Gambling], the points are being settled for you, please wait a moment."
"The settlement is complete, you have successfully obtained 240 points through [The Abyss of Crazy Gambling], and the illegal use of abnormal energy is detected, and 700 points will be deducted. Your team's existing points are 134."
"More than 700 deductions?" Dong Linhai was speechless. He still remembered that Cui Zuojing only deducted 30 points after he recovered his kindness in Hameln. A full 700 points were deducted.
Originally, Dong Zheng made weapons before, and Cui Zuojing spent a lot of points at the weapons dealer for repairing the Tang Dao. Before he could earn it back, he suffered such a heavy loss, and the team suddenly became poor.
"It should have been targeted." Cui Zuojing said, it is certain that kether is indispensable, and it is absolutely impossible to deduct that much normally. His Fu Zhe's key had been broken in the box. The young man looked at Dong Zheng, and finally relaxed his tense nerves. He stretched his waist and said, "Go back?"
Dong Zheng's face was a little ugly. He kept staring at the window covered by the curtain. In the small gap, a faint dark red light was faintly revealed, which was not obvious.
He stepped forward quickly, opened the curtains, and all of a sudden the whole window was displayed in front of everyone. The night outside the window was quietly falling, the setting sun was about to sink below the horizon, and in the faint sky light that was about to disappear, the huge full moon loomed. In the center of the night sky, its blood color was so dazzling, a crack appeared on it, gradually deepening and spreading.
"Broken." Dong Zheng muttered.
"Blood night?!"
There was a mechanical clock in the living room. Cui Zuojing turned his head and walked into the next bedroom. The digital watch on the wall clearly showed the time—December 8, 24, 17:12.
Today is cleaning night.
They had only been in the box for three days, but ten days had passed without knowing it.
On the 8th of every month, when the bloody full moon hangs high in the night sky and shatters into pieces, the night of cleansing kicks off, and pilgrims with less than 30 points will be eliminated.
After the blood contract was lifted, Cui Zuojing officially joined the Wonton Splitter team as a pilgrim. There were six members in the team, and now the points are only 134.
- Only enough for four people.
Cui Zuojing couldn't help but scolded something particularly ugly. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's not say anything else, I wish Kether an early death and an early life."
The time they came out was too embarrassing. After the cleaning night officially started, the entire pure white space was closed, and people were not allowed to enter the box again. Otherwise, if the pilgrims all went into the box to hide when the points were insufficient, the blood would be lost. Night has no meaning.
Xia Qiongyun opened the door with Fu Zhe's key, but when the door opened, it showed the scene of the corridor outside, and they couldn't go back to the castle.
This area was completely "locked" and turned into a hunting ground for the executioner to visit.
"What should I do?" Wang Que asked. "Who is the executioner in this area?"
"It's midnight." The last ray of skylight disappeared under the horizon, and the world was completely shrouded in bloody moonlight. Cui Zuojing took out his mobile phone and logged into the Pure White Land APP to apply to quit the team.
Dong Zheng tacitly agreed to Cui Zuojing's application for withdrawal from the team, handed over the captain position to Dong Linhai, chose not to take away any property and points, and immediately withdrew from the team.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Dong Linhai, who suddenly became the captain, widened his eyes, "What do you mean!"
There were four people left in the team at once. Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng left the team empty-handed. 134 points were just enough for them to spend the night. Putting the phone back in their pockets, Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng looked at each other and said. : "There's only this way now. It's better for two people to be a target than a whole team with risks. Don't worry, Midnight should not be Dong Zheng's opponent."
"I'll be with you." Victor, who had changed into a cat, jumped on the back of the sofa and said.
"No, uncle is still here with everyone. Although the executioner is not allowed to hurt pilgrims with enough points, I am not sure if Midnight will do other bad things while I am not there. If you are here, I will be more at ease. ."
Dong Zheng: "Tonight, A Zuo and I will hide outside. We will come back tomorrow morning. Don't take it lightly, stay in the apartment. With my uncle here, I won't dare to take it lightly at midnight."
Victor nodded and said, "If I meet Midnight now, it will never be the same again."
Lin Hangzhi was very worried: "Is it really possible? In my impression... I have never heard of anyone who successfully escaped the punishment of cleaning."
"I'm different from other people, I'm a legend in the pure white world." Cui Zuojing smiled, his confident smile really calmed the restlessness of others, "Don't worry, the midnight of that year was not mine. Opponent, let alone now I control the power of time, and there is such a big help as Dong Zheng."
"Xiao Xia borrowed the lantern for me to use, the cat is psychic, and it can be safer if there is a magic weapon."
Xia Qiongyun did not hesitate to hold down the pattern left by the prop on the back of her hand, and the lantern appeared in her hand and was handed over to Cui Zuojing.
This is the item she chose from the Joker's store. Considering that there are not many decent instruments in the team, she chose such a thing.
"Psychic?" Although it's not the first time to spend a bloody night at the top of the giant tree, before the bloody night everyone stayed in the ancient castle ahead of time. As a tyrannical team, it seems that cleaning will never happen to them. I don't know much about the specific situation. Dong Linhai asked in amazement, "What do you mean, is there really a ghost?"
"Yes, ghosts can be summoned at midnight." Cui Zuojing said with a wicked smile, "What? Would you like to provide us with some boy urine? If you still have any?"
Dong Linhai: "Huh???"
He was stunned for a while, scratching his face in the joking glances from everyone, and then quickly reacted, pretending to be shy and holding down the waistband of his pants: "Then what, do you really want it? If you don't dislike it, then I can give you some water alone."
Dong Linhai said that he was about to untie his trouser belt, but Cui Zuojing was turned against the generals, and he waved his hand quickly: "Forget it, you should keep it for yourself, in case you meet A Piao and get scared and pee, you can directly How good is it to nourish it."
Everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere relaxed a lot for a while.
A cat meow was faintly heard from outside the window, and the end sound was drawn so long that it was so terrifying under the blood-colored brilliance that it made one's whole body hairy.
"Not much to say, it's too late." Cui Zuojing grabbed Dong Zheng's arm and said, "Let's go first, you guys pay attention to safety."
"You are."
No hugs, no reluctance to say goodbye or tears, Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng walked out the door as usual every day when they went out to buy things.
Because they didn't need it, everyone believed that when the night passed and the first rays of sunshine hit the ground, the two of them would return to the apartment in perfect condition as they agreed.
It wasn't until downstairs that Cui Zuojing finally spit out the breath that had been held in his throat. The bloody moonlight shone on his face, and he looked at Dong Zheng and asked, "Are you afraid? ?"
"A little bit." It's impossible to say not afraid, after all, he is one of the queen's heirs. Dong Zheng is not sure whether he can withstand the pursuit of midnight with his current strength. He took a deep breath and smiled, "But I'm not alone after all."
Cui Zuojing snorted lightly, the corners of his lips could not help rising, he raised his head and quickly kissed Dong Zheng's lips, then turned to look at the black cat who was squatting on the opposite flower bed watching them.
In the bloody night, I looked at a black cat, as if something was about to happen.
The cat seemed to be just an ordinary cat, the black pupils in the blue eyes shrunk into a line, and it gave them a light meow.
Dong Zheng thought thoughtfully: "Is there our position at midnight?"
"Well, so it's only a matter of time before we face it... Why don't we go to Heimdall first? I'll take a magic weapon that can cause damage to the spiritual body. Only the lantern and your bell are still not safe."
The bell can only sense the presence of ghosts and give warnings. It has no attack power. Although the lantern has the effect of expelling and manifesting, it has no effect on particularly tyrannical spirits. When Xia Qiongyun chose it, he mainly took a fancy to the properties of never-extinguishing and The expulsion function is a good auxiliary item for the entire team.
The proportion of magical instruments in the props is already rare, and everyone in the team has not obtained lethal ones, but they are not in a hurry. They have enough information to know the type of the box they enter in advance. Prepare in advance, because everyone in the team is He is not a brave warrior who lacks nerves. Every time he hits a ghost, he is so scared that it takes a long time to recover, so he rarely chooses a box of the supernatural type.
Heimdall does store some magical instruments. If there is really a related requirement, you can rent it in advance. The bell is what Dong Zheng has been renting for self-defense.
"Okay." Dong Zheng also thinks that Cui Zuojing's idea is the most appropriate at present. Under normal circumstances, in order to ensure the personal safety of pilgrims, the world rules of the pure white world do not allow managers with tyrannical power to be in addition to boxes and special areas. The so-called managers include the heirs, as well as the clown and others who are the guides, and they are always in a state of being suppressed by their strength.
So although Cui Zuojing and his party were regarded as a thorn in their side, the Queen and the others did not directly solve Cui Zuojing, but kept looking for their troubles in the box.
But when the bloody night comes, this rule no longer works for the executioners in the area.
What they will face is midnight in a full state.
Cui Zuojing had already experienced Midnight's strength and had enough confidence in his ability, so he was not too nervous, but Dong Zheng was different. This was the first time he faced an enemy of the level of his heir.
You have to be very careful.
Since the establishment of the relationship, Dong Zheng has often taken Cui Zuojing to play around, and has been borrowing Beverly's little electric donkey to easily delay other people's affairs. He saved money and bought a car, which was parked downstairs in the apartment. .
Dong Zheng was pushing the cart, Cui Zuojing was squatting on Luya and waiting. He didn't bring Tang Dao with him when he entered the abyss of mad gambling, and now he can only be empty-handed, but he has the ability to kill people. big.
More and more cats emerged from the bushes and looked at the two of them silently. Cui Zuojing did not know that there were so many stray cats nearby.
He picked a piece of grass to tease the nearest big orange, and the big orange looked at him vigilantly and stepped back into the bushes.
Cui Zuojing sighed silently, it seems that if you want to play cats happily, you still have to rely on Victor.
