At midnight, the hands of the manor's grandfather clock overlapped, making a loud and heavy sound.
The experienced friends, this time put down the black tea early, packed their bags, and tidied up their clothes to welcome the new battlefield calmly.
A strong light flashed, and the five people were already in a secret room.
The space is about half the size of the classroom, with gray and white walls on all sides, the ceiling and the floor are the same color, no windows, no doors, and no furnishings. The whole space is like a gray and white box.
Such a space makes people instinctively anxious, but fortunately, within a few seconds, "peers" came one after another.
The first to appear was a "Colorful Stormtrooper", falling in from a purple vortex that suddenly appeared from the ceiling. The five passers-by all wore the same jacket, but in different colors, elegant gray, sky blue, wine red, dark purple, bright orange, not the brightest, only brighter.
Xu Wang's team and them looked at each other, and after catching the precautions in each other's eyes, they skipped the chat tacitly, each picked a corner of the secret room, settled down, and waited for the follow-up.
But Captain Xu still couldn't hold back. After sitting down against the wall, he reasoned with his teammates in a low voice: "The one wearing elegant gray should be their captain."
The four partners agreed with it—the same jacket, others can only choose the square dance color, he can choose the cool and elegant style, except for the captain's privilege, there is really no other explanation.
As soon as the two teams quieted down, a purple vortex appeared on the floor in the center of the room, and in a flash, five people came up.
They were stunned for a few seconds at the space they were in. It was obviously the first time they had come to this level, and they were unprepared for the large-scale gray-white impact. Only then did they see the two teams in the left and right corners.
When they saw the colorful stormtroopers, their reaction was normal, quiet, silent, alert.
When they saw Xu Wang's team, their expressions suddenly became vivid.
Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, and Kuang Jinxin widened their eyes when they saw them.
In the confined space, the eight little friends made a "scream of joy" at the same time—
Sheng, Wang, Jin, Qian: "Tall handsome, thin and white?!"
Tall, handsome, thin, and white: "I - rely on!"
Chi Yingxue and the other party's fifth person were left with blank faces.
The colorful stormtroopers frowned, unable to determine the relationship between the two teams for a while. If you look at Xu Wang's side, the four faces are filled with joy as if "friends meet again", if you look at the tall, handsome, thin and white side, the four faces with black lines look like "the enemy's road is narrow".
"Uh," the fifth man of the tall and thin white team was the first to chime in, and he said to the big tall man, "Captain, I might need a brief summary."
The tall man's expression became very subtle.
It's not a good story to teach new teammates.
Just then, the third team appeared.
Just on the wall opposite Xu Wang and the others, a purple vortex opened, and the five people filed in like entering the door, leisurely and leisurely.
The leader was a handsome young man with a smile. He was 27 or 8 years old. His hands were in the pockets of his sweater. The team, read it all over, and at the end, waved at everyone: "Hi~"
Behind him was a man with glasses, who was also twenty-seven or eighty-year-old, but there was a more steady look on his brows. The eyes behind the lenses looked harmless, but inadvertently, there was a flash of wisdom.
The remaining three teammates came in almost at the same time, one was tall, fair-skinned, and had delicate features, but his expression and eyes were cold, like an ice beauty; the other was full of energy, athletic and sunny, with a brighter and brighter smile than the leader; A tall and strong man, half a head taller than everyone in the team, his resolute facial features naturally carry a sense of majesty, and he does not need to frown and stare to give people a sense of oppression.
The colorful stormtroopers watched silently.
Gao Shuai closed the white team to close up the formation, frowning vigilantly.
Regarding the Xu Wang team, the four teammates looked at them curiously, and Captain Xu responded with a smile: "Hi~"
"..." Gao Shuai, thin and white, looked at this side and then over there, and finally knew where that strange sense of disobedience came from. The two teams collided with the style of painting, okay? They collided to death!
"Ding-"
"Ding-"
The "20-in-1" prompt sound has its own echo effect in a confined space, especially if it rings twice in a row.
All four teams look at the arms at the same time.
: You have a 5-minute exemption, choose [Back] or [Kick], and the countdown starts.
: There are still 15 minutes before the official opening on 7/23. If you do not wait until the deadline, the countdown will begin.
The first item is familiar to all teams, because when the five-man team was formed in the early 6/23, there was a prompt. As long as it is a five-man level, after a team with a complete lineup enters, they will receive such a prompt first, which is convenient for those who want to adjust. Teams are replaced immediately.
As for the second article, it is completely different from 6/23. In the last level, the team in the banquet hall, no matter when the addition is completed, can enter the castle halfway and start the level.
According to Chi Yingxue's "spoiler", this article should be related to the nature of the battle in this level - since it is a board game, all teams must start the battle at the same time. , so whether it is a remnant team that wants to increase its members or a team that wants to replace it, it is necessary to complete the lineup adjustment within these 15 minutes. If the time limit is exceeded, even if the team is fully formed, it cannot enter the level, and can only wait for tomorrow.
"Those three teams are here for the first time." Wu Sheng retracted his secretly looking eyes and said in a low voice.
Xu Wang nodded: "Yes, but the team that can come here is not a good thing, we can't take it lightly."
Qian Ai frowned: "How do you know that they are all here for the first time?"
Chi Yingxue said lightly: "They are still reading the prompt. This reading time is in line with the performance of digesting and understanding unfamiliar rules."
Qian Ai: "… "
Kuang Jinxin comforted: "Brother Qian, I didn't see it either."
Qian Ai patted his head: "but you are lucky..."
Either cunning, smart, forceful, or give the team a lucky buff... Classmate Qian did not find any advantage in himself, and fell into deep anxiety that he would be kicked out of the team at any time.
Fifteen minutes later, there were still these four teams in the back room - no new team came in.
The further the level is, the smaller the number of teams. Xu Wang thought of this, but it was the first time he had a real feeling.
[Owl: 7/23 officially starts, don't be nervous, it's just a board game battle~~]
"Ding-"
: Please select the combatants. Chi Yingxue / Kuang Jinxin / Qian Ai / Wu Sheng / Xu Wang
The four partners raised their heads and looked at the appointed candidate - Military Division Wu.
Wu Sheng nodded slowly and steadily, his eyes full of confidence.
The ears of the four partners reverberated again. When discussing who should go to battle in the manor during the day, the campaign speech of his military advisor—
[Werewolf Killing, Three Kingdoms Killing, Killing Games, Ludo, Gobang, Shikoku Checkers, Strategy, Battle, Logical Reasoning... Only I don't want to win, without me I can't win.]
In the steady odds of winning, the five people pressed the choice together.
Wu Sheng's figure flickered, and then disappeared completely.
A live video suddenly appeared on one wall of the secret room. Wu Sheng had appeared in another room, with a gorgeous round table and four golden seats, Wu Sheng was sitting on one of them.
Soon, the other three teams were selected, and the round table in the game room was finally full.
The Gao Shuai, thin white team chose the tall guy, the Wucai stormtroopers chose Ya Hui, and they were all captains, but the last team that came in was a steady man with glasses. The moment he sat down, he gently pushed After taking off his glasses, Wu Sheng on the opposite side seemed to sense some kind of aura and looked up.
The young man with glasses nodded politely and said something.
Wu Sheng also smiled and replied something.
Only then did the friends in the viewing room realize that, shit, the live broadcast has only shadows and no sound!
"Kankan? Hello—" The leader of the glasses youth team seemed not to give up, and called out to the live broadcast wall again.
"Captain," the handsome young man with pure sunshine sighed, "Brother Zhao has said it many times, he refuses this nickname."
The one who was called the captain hasn't spoken yet, and the tall and strong one is already black: "Xiao Dong, Brother Zhao also said, don't give your name casually."
Xiao Dong looked at him pitifully: "Brother Qi, you just gave me my surname."
The tall and strong Fuzaki: "..."
The innocent Dong Xi: "..."
"From now on, both of you will silence me!" The whole team's name was about to be blown up, and the band leader was on the verge of collapse.
Jing Jinglin, who had been quiet all the time, swept across Xu Wang's team and Gao Shuai's thin white team with cool eyes, and sighed, "It's obviously the same game, but we can't share names with each other."
Tall handsome and thin white: "… "
Xu Wang looked at his teammates without words: "Do you have a familiar feeling..."
Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin: "I seem to be looking at my original self..."
Chi Yingxue: "Low-end version."
"It's about to start." Gao Shuai's cold white face looked at the live broadcast wall and whispered.
In the game room, the light and shadow of an owl appeared in the center of the round table, and then the light and shadow spread out, and the entire round table suddenly became transparent. The same image - twenty cards folded.
The four people in the battle did not rush to touch it.
Although it is the first time to come to this level, but if you can reach 7/23, you must have suffered all kinds of hardships and know the truth of not acting rashly.
Sure enough, between the game and the spectator, a sound similar to "owl" but more calm sounded at the same time.
This time it's not in the ear, it's coming from the ceiling, like two rooms with synchronized amplifiers—
[Announce the game content below...]
Everyone, including Xu Wang's team, pricked up their ears.
[This is a story solitaire. Each participant has 20 cards in front of them, including 15 story cards, 3 interrupt cards, 1 exchange card, and 1 ending card. Participants need to use the keywords on their story cards to tell and solitary stories, and finally guide the story to their own ending cards.
[The specific rules are as follows: Among the four participants, the one who entered the place for the shortest time will be the first to tell the story. Each time a keyword on a story card is used, the corresponding story card can be played. If the following three situations occur during the narration, the narration right will be transferred: 1. If the story cannot go on, the next Solitaire speaker can be designated; 2. If you touch the keywords on other people's story cards, you will own the story. The person who plays the card directly discards the story card and continues the story; 3. If it is directly interrupted by other people with an interrupt card, the person who uses the interrupt card will continue the story.
[Exchange cards can only be used when they have the right to tell. The user can use any card in his hand to randomly exchange a similar card of another person; interrupt cards cannot be used against those who have already played 15 story cards. people use.
[The first to finish 15 story cards + 1 ending card wins.
[Friendly reminder: 1. The story of the narrator is extremely unreasonable and will be forcibly interrupted. 2. If the bedding between the two story cards is too long, it will be forcibly interrupted.]
In the game room, each of the 20 cards in front of the four people slowly turned over. They looked at their own cards, and they could see at a glance. When they looked at other people's desktops, they were completely transparent.
In the viewing room, the sixteen little friends couldn't see any images on the round table, and could only see the expressions of four people looking down at their desktop, focused and serious.
At this time, the Xu Wang team was in a very complicated mood—
Qian Ai: "Story Solitaire... Strategy, battle or logical reasoning?"
Xu Wang: "Expression in language."
Kuang Jinxin: "Brother Sheng... is it alright?"
Xu Wang looked at the live broadcast wall, and his heart was ashes.
it's OK? Even Kuang Jinxin asked such a question, it must be impossible! ! !
"Sorry," Chi Yingxue sighed faintly, "I should have finished listening to the content and rules last time, and then let my body out."
"Ding-"
In the viewing room, the ding sounded again.
This reminder, the sixteen friends are not psychologically prepared, after all, the battle is about to start, what else is there to remind? And watching the live video, the four participants in the game obviously did not receive this prompt.
: Please select the plot staff. Chi Yingxue / Kuang Jinxin / Qian Ai / Xu Wang
Drama crew
Xu Wang's team looked up and found that the other three teams were equally at a loss.
Sixteen little friends, look at me, I look at you, the entire gray-white secret room is slowly shrouded in a shadow called "ominous premonition"...
The author has something to say: The gameplay and rules of Solitaire are based on a real board game "Once upon a time" (Chinese name: Once upon a time)~~ Friends who like it can play it~~
