From Huainan to Anyang, the friends walked leisurely for four days.
The route is made up of many green-skin trains, and this is the first time they feel, what Mao Qiping called a "comfortable journey". Dozing off on the train during the day, sleeping in the endless sea at night, and occasionally the interval between two trains is too long, they are right around the train station to experience the local cuisine, which is uncontested and absolutely Buddhist.
When leaving the Endless Sea in Beijing, the friends all pack lightly. If there is no large luggage, they will carry a small bag with them to pack their documents and necessary items.
In order to avoid bumps in the battle, mobile phones have waterproof and shockproof bags, but notebooks are not very good, so this time when leaving Beijing, Wu Sheng did not bring a notebook at all.
I don't know how the company's affairs are resolved. The only thing that can be confirmed is that without a notebook, my military advisor can still write the light of wisdom with a memo on his mobile phone.
Not long after getting on the train, Qian Ai was still studying the melon seed snack food cart that the conductor pushed back and forth. Military division Wu had already made a full-page list in the memo and showed it to the three teammates.
Xu Wang looked at the TOP1-5 on the left and the other TOP1-5, his eyes dazzled: "What is this?"
"The total score list has been opened six times since we entered Owl," Wu Sheng said. "The list for all six times is here."
Xu Wang: "..."
Kuang Jinxin: "..."
Qian Ai, who just bought a pack of beef jerky: "Are you showing us your memory..."
Wu Sheng's eyes were full of innocence, "Is my memory still in use?". He reached out and clicked on the screen to select two places in the list: "This, it should be the Mighty Han team."
The two selected are-
The first list: TOP 5 - Feng Rang, Ji Yunlei, Wei Menghan, Zhu Mo, Zou Jun (8/23)
The second list: TOP 4 - Feng Rang, Ji Yunlei, Wei Menghan, Zhu Mo, Zou Jun (8/23)
The results of the two levels have not changed. It is very likely that this team did not rush to 9/23 within a week, but because the top four teams fell, they rose in the second time. It is also explained from the side that, Within a week, no new team rushed up.
Wu Sheng's selection, the little friends basically understand-
Kuang Jinxin: "The teammates called him Mr. Wei..."
Xu Wang: "I said why as soon as I am called the mighty man, he knows that I call him..."
Qian Ai: "Captain, you can hit the bull's-eye with your nickname. What kind of high-tech is this..."
Wei Menghan, Mr. Wei, a mighty man.
"They definitely don't just know how to eat," Wu Sheng exited the memo, "They are very strong."
Xu Wang: "No one said they only know how to eat..."
Wei Menghan and the others will hear these words, and it is estimated that they can throw a pot of crayfish shells over.
Locking the identity of the Wei Menghan team is only the first step. In the next few days, the friends also studied the tactical arrangement of the new stationery under the leadership of Wu Junshi.
4/23 used their 26 stationery, originally 23 left, but the customs clearance reward + the record breaking reward, each person added two sets of defense + martial + magic, to make up 24, so the stationery available now, a total of 47 indivual.
This is worth a good study.
The general planning of the tactics is naturally still Captain Xu + Military Division Wu, one has a brain hole, one has practice, one is free to fly, and the other is scientific and rigorous, and they complement each other.
Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin just listened to those crazy tactics, and they couldn't help but feel a little guilt towards their future opponents.
But after feeling guilty, he still took out his mobile phone, recorded it silently, and recited the full text in his spare time.
In this way, when the last train arrived at the station, everyone not only recovered from the exhaustion of 4/23, but also fully nourished their spirits.
The day we arrived in Anyang was early in the morning, the sun was warm and the sky was clear. The friends first filled the cakes with Hu spicy soup and eggs to start a beautiful day, and then they checked in at the hotel and washed away the dust. At noon, I and Qian Ai tasted Anyang three-smoked, Daokou roast chicken, and fried skin dregs again and again, and I was as happy as a sunset red tour group.
As night fell, the comfort slowly faded, and the tension brought about by the unknown level gradually filled my heart.
The positioning of the coordinate point is a crossroad.
At midnight, the four came to a dark place 200 meters away from the intersection and waited quietly.
There was no one at the intersection in the distance, but no one knew how many peers were hidden in the endless night around them.
Everything was silent, even the wind stopped.
"Cuckoo-"
The manhole cover at the feet of the four of them gradually turned into a purple vortex, and the little friends jumped in without hesitation.
The sense of weightlessness disappeared, and the vision became bright again.
Castle Ballroom.
A dome full of frescoes, ornate crystal lamps, exquisite reliefs, and long tables full of delicious food. In the center of the hall, there are groups of three or five guests who are chatting and laughing, and waiters who are carrying wine trays and shuttle back and forth.
The castle has a medieval feel, but the guests are all dressed in modern clothes, and it looks like a company rented it for an end-of-year reception.
Laughter and laughter, clothes and temples.
Xu Wang and the others stood in it, a bit awkward, but fortunately, it wasn't just their team that didn't match the style of the painting.
Looking up, you can see companions everywhere, some are like them, they are in a team of four, and some are alone, some are dazed, some are alert, some are thoughtful, and some are at ease, and have already mixed in with the guests. Eat and drink.
Beijing time 0:02:00
The two-minute "Owl Entry Time" ended, the passage was closed, and the "N-in-One" prompt sounded in the banquet hall.
"Ding-"
The guests who were intertwined with each other were unaware of this very obvious and strange sound. They dutifully performed their NPC duties, clinking glasses and continuing to clink glasses and chatting and laughing.
At this time, you can see who is the "breaker" - the one who raises his arm can't escape.
: The team is understaffed (4/5), do you want to add more members
Xu Wang and the others were well prepared—although Captain Yue didn't escape the "ten-minute curse" twice, and he really didn't want to talk about it, he reluctantly shared the fact that he had to increase his staff first.
The four partners are aligned and choose "Yes".
The list of additional candidates will appear immediately—
6/23 Chen Xu [Invitation]
6/23 Chi Yingxue [Invitation]
6/23 Deng He [Invitation]
6/23 Flash [Invitation]
6/23 Wang Chuming [Invitation]
Unlike , does not display the completed level before the name, but the level you are in.
However, what Xu Wang didn't expect was that the banquet hall was full of people who had broken through the barrier, and there were actually only five people who didn't form a team.
One of them is that they want to get blacklisted...
Qian Ai's eyes widened in disbelief: "Can he get through this?"
It wasn't a matter of strength, it was a matter of character. No matter how Qian Ai thought about it, he felt that no team could endure that guy for more than two days.
"It's time, isn't there another team?" Xu Wang's mood is a bit complicated. Although his hostility towards this person is hard to eradicate, on 3/23 a month ago, if they hadn't provoked the relationship between him and his teammates, it might have been broken. The pot is equipped with a broken lid, and it is just fine.
For someone like Chi Yingxue, it's actually quite difficult to find a team that he recognizes and doesn't dislike him.
Kuang Jinxin didn't think much about it. The moment he saw Chi Yingxue's name, he looked around subconsciously. Finally, he found a man diagonally opposite and leaning against the corner of the wall.
Today, Chi Yingxue is wearing a normal dress, a dark coat, pants of similar color, and even a little low-key.
As if feeling the sight, he suddenly looked up.
The eyes of the two of them crossed the figures of the guests, and faced each other.
Kuang Jinxin was stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.
Chi Yingxue nodded slightly first, as a greeting from the air.
There was no "reunion" in his eyes. Whether it was hostility, murder, surprise or accident, the look in his eyes, including his slight nod, was like facing a stranger.
Kuang Jinxin was completely stunned, let alone the two of them had played against each other, even if he was really a stranger, is it Chi Yingxue's style to be so polite and polite
The other three partners did not notice the "eye contact" here, and their attention was still on the list of additions.
There are only five members that can be added, which means that most of the passers who are trapped here are like them. They have teams, but there are not enough people to really enter the level.
"There are more monks and less porridge..." Qian Ai said with emotion, not forgetting to remind his captain, "Choose quickly, or you will really have to knock on empty bowls."
As soon as he finished speaking, two people were suddenly missing from the list of candidates for additions, one Wang Chuming and one Chen Xu.
Xu Wang and Wu Sheng: "..."
Qian Ai: "Understood, I'll shut up."
Qian Ai in this room was well-behaved and silent, and Xu Wang in that room had nothing to hesitate. He originally wanted to find these people to communicate with, and then select the best ones to add new members. Now it seems that he can only hit luck.
"Little..." Xu Wang wanted Kuang Jinxin to give him an opinion, but before the word "kuang" was spoken, the prompt sounded first.
Four partners receive the same message—
: Qi Shan asked to join the team, do you agree
Dare to love is a two-way choice. In addition to the team's initiative to increase members, the singles can also apply to join the team
The four partners looked at each other in dismay. If they wanted to get married, they would lose their daughter-in-law. What are you waiting for? Get married!
"Ding-"
: Qi Shan joins the team.
[Owl: Welcome to the Castle Hotel~~]
The world was dark in an instant, and then lighted up again. The banquet hall and all the guests and peers had long since disappeared. The complete lineup of five people was in a guest room of the ancient castle hotel. The beds and bedding were retro, but placed on the dark brown table. phone, guest room note paper, etc., revealing its "modern" identity.
The one who appeared here with the four partners, of course, was the fifth team member, Qi Shan.
Looking at the name, Xu Wang thought it was a lady with big eyes, but when he saw the real person, he was in his early twenties, slightly shorter than Wu Sheng by two centimeters, about one meter eighty-five or eighty-six in height, broad shoulders, narrow The waist, the long legs, and the facial features are not obvious, but put together, it is very comfortable, handsome and friendly, and it is a perfect little fresh meat. .
"Thank you for letting me join." Qi Shan smiled brightly, and immediately turned from salt to sweet.
Xu Wang communicated with his new partner from the bottom of his heart: "We mainly choose based on appearance."
"Cough," Wu Sheng cleared his throat, "time is limited, we can break in the friendship in the breakthrough."
The word friendship was slightly aggravated by military division Wu.
Captain Xu, who was immersed in the joy of his new teammates, didn't hear it at all, and continued to ask Qi Shan, "Why did you choose our team?"
Wu Sheng: "..."
Lao Qian took a step forward, patted Wu Sheng on the shoulder lightly, and comforted: "Since ancient times, new people have replaced old people."
Wu Sheng didn't speak, and flew a knife at him.
"In the optional team, I saw your names at first sight," Qi Shan said. "Intuition told me that it was you."
This answer surprised Xu Wang a bit: "Our name is very common..."
"This can't be explained, it's just an eye," Qi Shan looked at the four partners one by one, with a bit of pride in his tone, "But now that I see you in person, I know that I made the right choice, you don't need to say, I I can match your name with you."
Xu Wang's eyes flashed with surprise: "Really?"
Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai didn't expect it either.
Wu Sheng raised his eyebrows, and then frowned slightly, always feeling that he saw a prodigal son in love who used a little magic to please people.
Qi Shan looked at Xu Wang first: "You are Wu Sheng."
Look at Wu Sheng again: "You are Kuang Jinxin."
Look at Kuang Jinxin: "You are Qian Ai."
Looking at Qian Ai again: "You are Xu Wang."
At the end of the speech, Qi gave a warm smile of "I'll say we are destined".
Four partners: "… "
Being so disturbed by the new partners, they have doubts about their own identity...
"Xu Wang."
"Wu Sheng."
"King Jinxin."
"Qian Ai!"
They'd better report themselves.
Qi Shan was stunned: "I didn't recognize any of them?"
Wu Sheng nodded refreshedly: "Don't doubt, you perfectly avoided all the correct answers."
In this embarrassing yet warm atmosphere, the Naxin ceremony came to a successful conclusion.
Like them, Qi Shan had never been to 6/23, but they didn't jump on 5/23, so when Xu Wang sincerely told him that his team had cleared the single-level record, and then came here inexplicably, Qi Shan also Treat each other with sincerity and share the information we know.
First, for breaking the speed record, there will indeed be a reward of "one more level forward"; second, the content of 5/23 is "The Infernal Affairs of the Haunted House", that is, as a ghost, enter a labyrinth-like building. In the old house, complete the task without being seen by various monsters, ghosts, and evil spirits.
In fact, Xu Wang and the others had already obtained the fifth level information from Yue Shuai, but the new teammates didn't know it, so when the other party's sharing and Yue Shuai's statement could be completely matched, Xu Wang was still relieved.
Objectively speaking, accepting new members is a very uncertain thing. If the addition is right, everyone is happy. If the addition is wrong, the family is uneasy. As the captain, Xu Wang does not dare to take it lightly.
After a brief exchange of information, the five partners quietly opened the door.
Outside is a narrow and long corridor, covered with dark patterned carpets, with no end in sight. There are candlesticks on the walls on both sides, and the firelight reflects one door after another, only the doors with different house numbers.
"Defense?" Wu Sheng asked in a low voice.
Yue Shuai said that he didn't want to talk about this, but he actually told them. Although his team didn't survive ten minutes twice, and he didn't know what the mission was at the end, but the first time he encountered a secret passage, the second time he ran into a secret passage. The next time I found the save point all at once.
If there is a save point, it means that the team you meet is likely to be an old team that has fought hard the day before.
They are newcomers who don't even know what their mission is. If they don't increase their vigilance, they probably don't know how to die.
Thinking of this, Xu Wang nodded decisively: "Primary defense."
Wu Sheng immediately ordered his own stationery box.
[Owl: Someone used on you~~]
At the same time as the reminder sounded in the ears, the little friends followed suit, including Qi Shan.
The operation of putting on an armor first is not surprising, but "primary defense" is some kind of immortal secret code, so it's too cool to communicate like this!
The armor hides the description of the five partners, and also hides the surging emotions of Qi Shan.
When they came to the corridor, the partners saw clearly that the room they were in just now was 1301.
The corridor was quiet, the blanket absorbed the footsteps of the five people, and only the faint sound of candles burning could be heard.
There was a vague figure ahead, but before I could see it clearly, the figure flashed and disappeared.
The five partners came to the place where the silhouette disappeared, 1310, the door was half open.
There was no sound inside, whether it was looking in from the half-open door or listening carefully, it didn't look like there was a "breaker".
Although the five partners are invisible, but they can see each other, they exchange glances at this moment, confirm, enter.
Following the spacious door, the four partners dodged in. The room they were in had basically the same interior decoration and bedding, the only difference was the color of the walls.
In this room, the walls were an uneven charcoal black, mottled and messy as if they had been burned by fire.
The furnishings are brand new.
Even the oil paintings on the walls are brightly colored, as if they had just been painted.
It's just that the content of the painting is a bit cruel.
It was a picture of the medieval "Witch's Execution". The young girl was tied to the cross, and the fire was burning under her feet. The surrounding spectators were excited, and they wished they could rush up and fan the fire more vigorously.
The girl looked painful, but there was no weakness in her eyes. She fixedly looked at the two people behind the onlookers, hiding behind a tree not far away.
It was a young man and a woman who were kissing behind a tree, and the fire that executed the witch seemed to be a bonfire for their date.
Suddenly, the "witch" in the painting slowly turned his head towards the friends.
The five partners who didn't dare to come out just watched the "Witch" from profile, half profile, and then back to the front, and finally, looking at each other, the "Witch" pulled out a weird smile.
When the scalp was numb, the walls of the house suddenly burst into flames!
The heat wave is scorching!
"withdraw-"
Xu Wang did not care about exposing the danger any longer, and decisively led the team to rush out of 1310!
Fortunately, there was no such a maddening episode of the door being instantly closed.
The five people who returned to the corridor were all in cold sweat, and they couldn't tell whether it was the escape from the sea of fire or the witch's smile.
Now they know that what entered 1310 was not a human figure, but a ghost figure! ! !
"click-"
"click-"
"click-"
The doors of 1312, 1313, and 1314 opened at the same time, and a girl with gentle long hair, a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes, and an old man with a childish face with crane hair came out together, but they searched the corridor, but did not find the five hidden people, so they looked at each other. , asking each other, "What happened?"
After asking, the three faces were blank.
At the end they closed the door again.
In view of these few, they don't look like aggressive NPCs. After unifying their opinions, Wu Sheng lifted his incognito, and the five knocked on the door one by one to communicate in a friendly manner.
The process went smoothly, and after a while, the background of the three was basically discussed.
Rapunzel from 1312 came here for vacation, but for some reason, she forgot where her home was and how long she lived here.
The gentleman of 1313 came here for a business reception and has not encountered any problems so far.
The old man of 1314 is a writer who is constantly writing, and he is thinking of new novels here.
The chat has come out, but I still have no idea what to do in this hurdle.
Beijing time 00:15:00
The Xu Wang team, who had been thinking about for fifteen minutes, finally came to the damn voice—
[Owl: I hope you have found your way~~]
What followed was an update to the cheat sheet —
: Please choose the questline of 6/23. Once selected, you cannot go back. Love line / career line / puzzle line / escape line / happy line / horror line
The five looked at each other.
Qi Shan's surprise was very simple, but he didn't expect to be able to choose a quest line.
On the basis of the same surprise, the other four partners added one more layer - this is not easy to spend fifteen minutes, did you get the task prompt? What exactly did Yue Shuai and the others experience in the "Ten Minute Curse" twice...
