After a while, the thick hemp rope left by the attackers came in handy. They were completely subdued after being hit hard, and they were all tied up in a row when they wanted to resist but were suppressed.
These people are all from a certain overseas secret arts group. Recently, they specially ambushed in the Tingfengxiyu building to attack other candidates who came to investigate the situation, including Qiao's companion. They have excellent eyesight in the dark, take advantage of the unpreparedness of passers-by, and spread evil spirits to the outside world, trying to reduce competitors by this method.
Mei Ru Z glanced around at the strong men with foreign appearances, and said indifferently: "Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with it, and the troubles are all people with evil intentions."
The baby stone veins have made many people jealous. Qiao's team is well-known overseas, so they were naturally targeted.
After the strong foreign men were tied up, Chu Qianli became more courageous. She pointed at the bruised Qiao and complained, "Look at what you've done, how can you beat up your compatriots like this?"
Joe was wiping the wound on his face with the wet towel he carried with him, and reminded: "My friend, I am not from the same country as them. Didn't you realize that I can't understand what they are saying?"
The raiders' native language was not English, and Joe couldn't understand their communication when he was beaten.
"It's fine if you don't know how to disassemble Nice, but why don't you even know a foreign language?"
"I..." Qiao just opened his mouth to argue. He glanced at Tan Muxing behind her, and lost his temper for a moment. "Forget it, friend, I really don't understand, maybe I am illiterate."
Talking about Mu Xinglu's hand, Qiao changed his name to a friend, and his sense of propriety instantly became full. He no longer has the momentum to quarrel with the bear at the entrance of the lobby. He mainly found that Chu Qianli's guardian is indeed better at fighting than the patron saint, not to mention whether he can fight ghosts, but he is really first-class in beating people.
Joe handled the wound briefly, hissing in pain.
Meiru Z called the old man on night shift at the door and asked if the Mondsen Group could call the police to deal with the secret arts group that deliberately murdered the candidates. There are no surveillance cameras in Tingfengxiyu Building, but fortunately Chu Qianli and others can testify, and Qiao is still bruised and swollen.
Tan Muxing was in charge of keeping an eye on the strong men who were tied up. Now that Chu Qianli was out of crisis, he was able to walk around the third floor. She always felt that there was a strange wind in the building, and whispered: "The feeling on the third floor is not very good."
Mei Ru Z hung up the phone, frowned and said, "I'm afraid there is more than one murder case in this building. There is one murder case in the elevator shaft, and another one in this floor. Otherwise, the hexagram would not be so fierce."
"The patron saint said that an evil mage once lived here, and dark rituals were performed here." Joe added, "My companion and I wanted to purify yesterday, but we couldn't find a place to hold the ceremony, and we were caught by this group of people." Inexplicably pushed downstairs."
Chu Qianli complained: "...don't call coming over to peek at the exam questions fresh and refined as a ritual of purifying darkness."
Qiao Zheng said straightly: "Purifying the soul of the dead is far more important than the exam."
"It's more convincing that Mr. Mage doesn't say this with a hurt face."
Joe is now beaten into a pig's head, his face is full of injuries, and he said angrily, "Why are these people coming at me? They are definitely jealous of my handsome face. I won't be able to see anyone during the exam tomorrow!"
Joe had a premonition that he would be ridiculed again tomorrow, and perhaps all over the world again.
"It's good to still be able to take the exam."
In the early morning of the next day, Shi Zhuoqu and others announced in the lobby the disqualification of the Raiders group. The Monderson Group has handed it over to the police. At the same time, they contacted the injured and retired magicians to inform them of the truth about their accidental injuries and coordinate compensation .
Qiao found out the real culprit behind the attack in Tingfeng Xiaoyu Building, and finally cleared up the rumor that the team was defeated by ghosts.
However, it was Chu Qianli and others who really became famous. Their rumors covered the metaphysics circles at home and abroad. The most outrageous thing is that they are not famous for their spells!
In the lobby, after the meal, everyone chatted together to discuss the ups and downs of last night.
"Have you heard that the group of foreigners who were arrested beat up another foreigner yesterday, and happened to be seen by our domestic friends, and when they saw the injustice on the road, they yelled and directly showed Kung fu..." The man said vividly, "Shuh, huh, huh Swish, five or six big men were all beaten to the ground, and the little foreigners who were rescued were stunned!"
"Hey, you don't have enough of you. The version I listened to was obviously seven or eight big guys. A group of people wanted to beat up one of them, but the result was Shua, Shua, Shua, Shua, lose!"
"No, no, you all said less, the building next door to me is occupied by foreigners, if I ask you, there should be a dozen or so, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."
"It doesn't matter how many shua shua, our countrymen are reliable, no need to compete in martial arts, our martial arts will win!"
A group of people discussed in full swing.
At the next table, Tan Muxing was so embarrassed that he heard the chat next to him that he couldn't express it. He didn't expect that the story of his beating would spread so far, and he couldn't lift his head for a long time.
Chu Qianli laughed and said, "The stars are considered to win glory for the country."
Meiru Z: "It seems that Joe is really famous. He was beaten up and spread all over the world overnight. He was really not bragging yesterday."
The three originally thought that Qiao Tu had a good appearance, but they didn't expect that the information about him would spread fast enough, and he might indeed have influence overseas.
Some mathematicians in the villa area talked about what happened last night, while others were methodically preparing for today's exam.
At the foot of the mountain in the Listening Wind and Drizzle Building, Ebner looked around and exclaimed: "Lin, you actually managed to find such a place. The energy magnetic field alone makes people uncomfortable."
"Are you sure you want to take the exam?" Lin narrowed his eyes. "It stands to reason that you have an oath with Q, and you don't need to go through screening. I brought you to China to find the remaining keys to the New Era."
"Since China's initial examination requires fairness and justice, shouldn't I also participate in the second round of screening?" Ebner laughed, "Or do you want to replace me with someone who is more suitable for you, so you don't want me to participate?"
Lin raised his eyebrows: "How come? Our interests are one."
Ebner said inexplicably, "Maybe."
The golden sunset dyed the sky, and gradually faded in the evening wind, and finally ushered in the time for the second round of screening.
In Xianheju, Liu Jun was standing on the terrace, he saw the tour bus parked by the side of the road, and reminded him: "Zayuan, it's time to go."
Xu Zaiyuan stood up, slowly placed the mahogany sword on his back, and said, "I just made a hexagram."
"How about it?"
"If you want to achieve your goal, you must do well in today's exam."
At the gate of Xinheju, Chu Qianli and others boarded the tour bus. Feeling the breeze, they looked at the villa area as night fell, and soon saw the building listening to the wind and rain not far away.
All the seals and fences in front of Tingfengxiyu building were removed, apparently someone rearranged the front of the building during the day.
Numerous tour buses parked neatly at the door, and candidates from the villa area were brought up to welcome the second round of screening tonight.
"A lot of people." Chu Qianli hid behind Tan Muxing, she observed the strange men and women around her, and said with emotion, "I always feel that there are not so many people when I usually eat."
In the hall on the first floor, these people have different appearances and different clothes. There are both eastern magic monks and western mystic mages. They seem to be a mixed bag, interspersed with various languages.
Meiru Z: "Some people don't go to the lobby after they come in, but stay in their own residences. Of course we won't meet them, and we will feel that there are not many people."
Not long after, Lin reappeared surrounded by many bodyguards, still accompanied by translators.
Standing on the stairs, Lin looked down at the candidates in the hall and officially announced the rules for the second round: "Welcome everyone who has traveled a long distance to come here. We will conduct the second round of selection for the New Era Project in the villa tonight. Now please look at everyone The location on the right side of the building."
The translators relayed the words meticulously, trying their best to make the candidates from all over the world understand.
Everyone looked for the reputation, and saw Shi Zhuoqu and others sitting beside him, and there was a transparent box behind the table.
"This is a house where a murder occurred. I hope that you can use your own ability to re-draw the incident on paper and put it into the prepared box. We will screen by the completeness of the incident. All notes It will be announced after the exam, and everyone reserves the right to raise objections.”
"After screening, the ten candidates with the most detailed information will make supplementary statements in the conference room on the second floor. There are cameras and radio equipment in the room, and other candidates can watch their speeches." The fairness of the selection is questioned, we set up a new link this time, just to hope that everyone can select the most accurate person."
"The answer of the first person to vote will be used as the final standard, and a special badge of Mondsen will be awarded at the same time. There are three special badges, which will be issued one by one in the follow-up screening." Lin squeezed the golden badges of Apple and Snake in his hand, "We It is promised that those who have more badges will have a higher voice in the New Era Project."
Chu Qianli commented calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you want this broken badge or not, but the meaning behind the badge is very important."
The Mondsen Group awarded special badges to the first voters. If someone really gets all the badges, it must be popular among all the candidates. Without this badge, they can still have the right to speak!
The baby stone mine vein cannot be completed by a single player, and once there is a team, there will be a leader.
"Then the exam officially begins. Please complete the exploration within the specified time and hand in the answers in time."
The Monderson Group stipulated the time to explore the Listening Wind and Drizzle Building. Many candidates had already heard the news and rushed towards the elevator shaft in a swarm. The scene was chaotic.
In the hall on the first floor, there were also people working, some talking to themselves, some sitting on the spot and setting up a magic circle, and some frantically shaking copper coins to explore the truth in various ways.
Mei Ru Z looked around and said, "The elevator is very crowded."
Chu Qianli suggested: "Let's go to the third floor to take a look now, and get away from those who haven't reacted yet!"
There have been more than one murder case in Tingfengxiyu Building, the elevator murder case is more famous, and there are even rumors on the Internet, but the murder case on the third floor has not been mentioned to the outside world.
The three rushed to the third floor in a hurry, only to find that someone had already come one step ahead.
In the corner, Joe is placing props engraved with runes, trying to divination through ancient runes. Rune is also known as the secret of the universe, and its inheritance was about to disappear once, so few people use it now.
Chu Qianli and others experienced last night's adventure together with Qiao, and they gradually became familiar with each other. Seeing the Band-Aid on the other's face, she joked, "My friend, you stepped on it so fast!"
"My friend, is there someone faster than me?" Joe squinted at her, and he raised his chin. "That person came earlier than me, and he just returned one."
Tan Muxing looked in the direction Qiao pointed, and sure enough, he saw the back of a foreigner: "Is that the blond man over there?"
Joe: "Yeah, I don't even know how to run so fast."
It was an elegant British gentleman with a bookish look, and he looked polite. He had never shown himself in the lobby of the villa area.
Chu Qianli took a look, she looked away again, and said in confusion: "Since he can come to the third floor immediately, then his level should be good. You are all developing overseas, and you don't know each other?"
"How should I explain to you that there are many countries in foreign countries..." Joe replied, "But I just asked his name, and he said it was A. Isn't that kidding me?"
Joe thought that the other party was using a pseudonym to fool him, so he had a general impression of A, and said angrily: "He also has a panda brooch on his chest. I really have nothing to say to this kind of person."
Joe felt that A's dress was neither fish nor fowl, no matter from any fashion point of view, a suit and a panda brooch did not go together.
Chu Qianli tilted his head solemnly: "You are actually prejudiced against pandas. It is against the law in our country to say that. You might be arrested by the Panda Protection Association later."
Joe: "?"
Qiao heard her swearing, and was surprised: "Impossible, I never heard of it when I entered the country..."
"Otherwise, why do you think he wears a panda brooch? There are reasons for this. We have already established relevant regulations that we cannot maliciously belittle pandas, just like some regions and countries stipulate that dogs cannot be made faces!" Chu Qianli took out her mobile phone , showing him the weird law, and said seriously, "You can see it on the Internet. The city of Nome, Illinois states that you can't make faces at dogs, and the state of Ohio states that you can't get fish drunk..."
Qiao found out that it was true, and contacted the giant panda again. His face was panicked and he was at a loss for a while.
Talking about Muxing, I don't know where she got so much cold knowledge to fool new foreign friends: "..."
