silence.
There was a long silence.
silence.
A long silence.
No sound came from the stone, no reaction appeared on the stone. All the puppets stared at the stone, and all the mercenaries stared at Lin Huai.
After a few minutes, the team behind Lin Huai finally broke into a commotion.
"Why so slow?"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Hurry up buddy, wait behind..."
Among these voices, the most composed one was the young man who put his hand on the stone.
"Sorry." He raised his other hand, "This stone, can't it be wiped with alcohol? Did I break it?"
silence.
The hall was gathering momentum.
"There is no mistake." After a long time, one of the puppets murmured. It seems to be the foreman of all the puppets, wearing a monocular lens out of place. It looked directly at Lin Huai and said, "Your information has been entered."
"Welcome to the Senior Field."
The golden code was punched into Lin Huai's body. The string of codes flashed so quickly in the air that no one else could see it clearly, only Lin Huai saw it clearly.
He walked out of the hall. Only then did the mercenaries in the hall turn their gazes back.
And the gaze of Chen Liexue, who was sticking behind him like a shadow, finally disappeared.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Lin Huai said suddenly.
"Toilet, I'll go too!" Lu Xiaotian was elated.
"...Are you a high school girl who insists on going to the toilet with her best friend?" Lin Huai complained, and finally found the toilet in the municipal building. To enter the toilet, you need to pass through a corridor. There are murals in the corridor, and the murals are full of portraits of various characters. They closed their eyes, their postures are submissive and serene, as if they are praying devoutly.
"No, I happen to be a little impatient, and I heard that there are actually some very dangerous places in the high-level camp. Usually don't run around alone." Lu Xiaotian came out of his cubicle and scratched his head. He saw Lin Huai standing in front of the mirror, washing his hands carefully: "Why are you washing your hands?"
"Dirty." Lin Huai wrote lightly.
"Oh, it's dirty, no wonder you didn't recognize it just now." Lu Xiaotian followed Lin Huai who had been washing his hands, and walked out of this corridor, "Speaking of which, this is the inside of the city hall. Usually there are no people coming in. The light is not good, and I feel a little dizzy for some reason... "
As he spoke, he looked at the murals in the corridor. The people in the murals looked gentle and serene. For some reason, he shuddered.
"Huh..." Lin Huai walked casually, as if he said casually, "By the way, the code that floated out last is an identification code? Your code is also an eight-digit number."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Is your code beautiful?" Lin Huai wrote lightly, "Is there a serial number or something? Or 88888888, 12345678, the chosen one..."
"The codes are all random. Of course I am just a string of very common codes. Brother Lin, is your code beautiful?"
"Well... probably, I'm thinking that if the code is not beautiful enough, I will re-enter the high-level field and draw again." Lin Huai said, "Speaking of it, I really envy those people with beautiful codes, like what 88888888 , 66666666, or..."
"00000000." He squinted and looked at the sky.
"00000000? What kind of error code is this? Why is there a code with all zeros?" Lu Xiaotian complained.
"Yeah, it's all zeros, it always feels like some weird hint of zeros everywhere..."
"Hey, hey, brother Lin, this is not a card game...wait for me!" Seeing Lin Huai walking away, Lu Xiaotian felt more and more cold in this corridor. He quickly shook his head and followed Lin Huai out of the corridor.
The figures of the two walked further and further away. What they don't know is that it's behind them.
a pair.
a pair.
Another pair.
In the murals in that corridor, all the portraits were originally closed eyes, praying devoutly...
They all opened their eyes.
Hundreds of pairs.
They opened their eyes and grinned in a huge, sinister grin, and looked at the corridor with their eyes open.
Vile and delightful.
It turns out that they haven't always looked submissive!
The wind and sand in the camp is getting bigger and bigger. Lin Huai continued to walk in the sixteenth city.
The entire Sixteenth City is very large, and all the residences of players who do not have other homesteads are located here. In addition to residential areas, there are also a few low-grade trading markets or activity areas. They finally arrived at the square in the center of the Sixteenth City. Lin Huai looked at the scenery all the way, and Lu Xiaotian kept chattering in his ears.
All kinds of players passed by him, most of them came and went in a hurry, they just used the sixteenth city as a base, and then went to other cities. Lu Xiaotian said: "If you say it's lively, it's still the four main cities that are busy. There is everything there and the area is also large. Compared with the four major cities, the other city-states are just functional areas. Like the ninth city-state. The entire city is a hospital. The eighth city is a library. The seventh city is a factory for manufacturing equipment... "
"Oh, so the entire Sixteenth City is just a student dormitory without emotion."
"That's right... How do you feel that there are so many people who look like security guards in the city? Where did they come from?"
The slow-witted Lu Xiaotian realized those people patrolling the neighborhoods: "What are they doing? Are they looking for someone?"
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he noticed that the players who were standing in twos and threes in this block, chatting easily, or haggling over prices suddenly turned pale, stepped back or stood up.
"What happened?" Lu Xiaotian tiptoed to look.
"Shhh, keep your voice down, do you want to die!" A person next to him said with a pale face, lowering his voice, "Keep your voice down, or we'll all be in bad luck!"
"you… "
The first thing that appeared in the distance was a wobbly doll.
It was an extremely weird doll. Its upper body was clearly the figure of an adult, but it was lying on the ground, and it was very short. It seemed that someone directly connected his sternum to the pelvis, and then removed his thighs, directly connecting it to the pelvis. down the calf. It has a lock ring around its neck.
On the other side of it is a woman like a piece of paper. The woman's waist was extremely thin, as if it was about to be pinched, but she had a pair of fly-like compound eyes.
More and more humanoid monsters passed by one by one, and what accompanied them was the sound of joyful music.
"It's the 'Circus'." Lin Huai heard the man behind him say in a very low voice, "Fuck, why did the 'Circus' come to the Sixteenth City?! Isn't their territory the Fourteenth City? ?! I am too unlucky... "
Lin Huai:? ? This sound is very familiar.
He turned his head and saw Du Che's weeping and sad face. Lin Huai remembered that he seemed to appear in Chapter 218, the man who was always unlucky and would draw ghost rewards.
"How did the circus come..."
"Help… "
"Help, help!!!"
Heart-piercing screams sounded in the street, but everyone was silent at that moment, daring not to say a word.
"Leave me—please—King—let me go—I didn't mean to block—"
"I don't know, I don't know—"
"what-"
The screams finally stopped.
After a long time, Lin Huai finally saw the "person" who screamed.
It was difficult to tell whether it was a human being or a rag that had been ripped open to reveal its contents.
A massive queue appeared in the center of the square. After those monsters, finally two people appeared. One is a thin man with dark eyes, playing with a knife, and the other is a very tall woman, wearing extremely gorgeous clothes, giggling and looking at everyone.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!"
Colorful fragments suddenly fell on everyone's heads, and there were countless colorful balloons flying around them. And Lin Huai also saw the person sitting on the float at the end of the line.
Lin Huai was silent.
"It seems that the Sixteenth District is quite lively today! This feeling of poverty and inferiority is really nostalgic!" The man said in an exaggerated tone, and took a breath, "It's so good, such a strong person Smell—I couldn't help but think of a year ago, when I came here to pick a new pet. At that time, the human smell in District 16 was so strong!"
As it said that, it laughed again, its red curly hair and red nose trembled, and the oil paint on its face bloomed with a smile, emerging a strange shape. Under his voice, the players trembled more and more, and no one dared to say a word.
"They..." Lin Huai said.
"Keep your voice down!!" Du Che's soul behind him was almost terrified, "They are the 'circus', the most perverted and terrifying organization, and all the 'people' in it are lunatics. The entire Fourteenth City Turned into an 'amusement park', turned into a dead city, thanks to them..."
"Amusement park?" Lin Huai asked.
"Yes, this person is—" Dutcher whispered, "the 'king' of the amusement park!"
"Actually - I didn't want to come to the Sixteenth City. I prefer to be with the animals. The smell here almost makes me vomit. And after you saw me, you refused to smile." The man Exaggerated and authentic, "Unfortunately, I heard a piece of news—my good friend, the puppeteer in the circus, Josie—"
"he died."
"!!!"
There was some commotion in the crowd, but soon, under the threat of that man, they quickly fell silent again. They were pale and folded their hands.
In the advanced field, absolute strength is absolute power.
They didn't dare to think about what the "boss" was here for, to bring back some "pets" to calm down? Or... the murderer, hiding among them
"Josie is my best friend. I like pets. He likes to play with dolls. We live in Fourteenth City and have always been peaceful. He is my best friend. We admire each other and share each other's works. "
"Oh..." Listening to the sincere words of the man, Lin Huai thought, "It seems that they are like father and son. Since this is the 'king' of the amusement park, isn't that puppeteer the 'Prince of Pleasure'?" '
He didn't expect that there was any relationship between this puppeteer and him.
"But a good friend like me was killed in the dungeon—what could be more painful than this?" The man sighed, "Fortunately, before he died, he Sent me a message back—”
He squeezed his fingers: "There is only one piece of news, the person who killed him..."
"It's a crow."
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and when the name was spoken, the people who were originally afraid of the "king" and kept silent, couldn't help but boiled.
"crow… "
"It's a crow!!"
"Who is the crow?" Some newcomers also asked blankly, "Who is he?"
"shh-"
The "King" suddenly made a silent gesture, and everyone lowered their heads in fear. "The King" said: "At first I thought it was very strange. How could a person who should have died a long time ago come out alive and kill my friend? This is really ridiculous. However, my friend never lies , the space that belongs to him is also sunk in the 'amusement park' today."
"I heard that he might be hiding among you—so, I'm here to look for him!" The "King" clapped his hands and smiled innocently, "Then here comes the problem, between you—"
"—Who the hell is the crow?"
"I just played a game." "King" said lightly, "A arithmetic game, how much is 2584 multiplied by 6732?"
"Unfortunately, that person just couldn't answer it. Therefore, he unfortunately failed the game. So let's play the second game today—a game of hide and seek." "The king" said, "The content of the game is, Find the ghost."
"Ten minutes, you guys find the crow from here, and give it to me." "King" said, "Then you can win! The reward for victory is to survive!"
"or… "
Suddenly, a miserable howl came from the end of the crowd!
It was a man trying to sneak out of the block, and just as he was about to do so, his own bones protruded from his body and impaled him!
"Or, I can only be like him." The "King" said with a smile, "I will randomly choose thirty most suspicious people to kill—who will they be?"
As time passed by, everyone's expressions and eyes became paler and paler.
No one dared to speak, no one dared to resist.
A tall woman in a gorgeous dress is still chewing bubble gum, while the man next to him is playing with his pocket knife.
"Five minutes," announced the "King," "and no one has pushed the crow out yet."
"Come on, let's have fun!" The "King" clapped his hands and said happily, "We are playing a game, so what can we do?"
Everyone was still pale, and they put their heads together and dared not speak.
"Come on! Just smile, so what?!"
Finally, one person laughed, but his smile was pulled up from the corners of his mouth by two hanging iron wires.
The smile keeps getting bigger and bigger. The man let out a horrific scream and blood started to trickle down his cheeks.
—If this continues, his head will be ripped off alive!
"Do you see how happy he is smiling? Are you laughing too?" The "King" clapped his hands, "Laugh!"
No one dared to laugh, no one dared to cry.
"Laugh!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… "
Suddenly, abrupt laughter resounded throughout the block. Du Che stared dumbfounded at the young man beside him, and subconsciously took a step back to the side.
He is actually laughing!
The man was indeed laughing, he bowed his body, smiling like a shrimp, his cheeks were flushed because he couldn't breathe from laughing. Everyone automatically backed away to make way, and he stood there in the blank space of the encirclement.
"I'm sorry, this is so—too funny—" the man wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "But I didn't really want to laugh at first, because—"
"Looking at your face, I feel very hungry, so I don't have the strength to laugh. Hahaha, hahaha—" the man said, "So ten minutes is almost up, you can kill the remaining twenty-nine people quickly, so I can eat?"
"What's your name?" The "King" frowned.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Huai raised his head.
"My name is KFC." Lin Huai said sincerely, "It's your grandpa, dear—"
"Uncle McDonald."
He looked at the clown dressed in blue road in front of him, and showed a sincere smile.
