Chapter 964 Nightmare Arena [5500 Monthly Ticket Please]

Swallowing Whale City is recognized as a big city where life is very refined. It was that way before the nightmare came, and it remains the same after the nightmare came. After all, the lifestyle that has been cultivated for a long time will not be changed easily.

As a former big star, Tao Xin's life is undoubtedly that exquisite.

Of course, this is what others think. In fact, she prefers to live a freer life as she pleases. For example, if you deliberately leave your bed messy, you don’t need to wash and dress yourself every day, or you can eat food that is not so ‘healthy’, you don’t need to pursue the so-called quality.

Especially at this time, when many people are struggling to stay alive, for most people, the word exquisite is just pretending, an unrealistic fantasy and a nostalgia for the past era. .

But it is undeniable that there are still quite a few people who maintain a very 'exquisite' life.

It just so happens that Tao Xin is one of this group of 'elite' people.

Tao Xin has no shortage of wealth. Celebrities are a high-income group, and they belong to the kind of profession that can earn an ordinary person a lifetime of living expenses in one year.

In addition, she is also good at investment and financial management, especially when she cooperated with Fatty to open a security company, and she earned a fortune that she would not have to worry about for her livelihood in the future.

It can be said that as long as you don't seek death, you can still enjoy life comfortably even if the nightmare comes completely, which ordinary people call the doomsday era.

Tao Xin is very satisfied with her current life.

She no longer needs to be seen in public. She spends most of her time at home alone. When she feels good, she goes out and goes shopping in the commercial district of the safe zone.

Or get together with friends and have tea.

After doing yoga at home that day, Tao Xin received a call from her friend and bestie, asking her to come out for a party at night.

It had been a long time since we had gone out to dinner, so she naturally agreed.

After a while, another call came in.

Tao Xin took a look and saw that he was a fat man.

Because they cooperated with Fatty, they also kept in touch frequently. Fatty liked to chat with Tao Xin no matter what. At the beginning, his intention to please and pursue the beauty was very obvious.

It's just written on his face.

But later it was discovered that the beauty had no intention, and the fat man quickly changed his target. He focused on the beautiful girlfriends Tao Xin knew.

He said that he asked Tao Xin to help introduce the matchmaker.

Obviously, Tao Xin is a great beauty, and her circle of friends are also full of beauties, and they are all powerful beauties, so there is no problem in choosing the target group of fat people.

Tao Xin quickly answered the phone at this time.

In fact, she didn't dislike talking to Fatty on the phone, mainly because she could find out about Lin Mo's current situation from Fatty's mouth.

"What's the matter?" Because he was familiar with the fat man, his words were quite simplified.

"It's okay. I'm in Swallowing Whale City. Sister Tao, when are you going to ask your little sisters to come out and meet me?" Fatty's voice came from the phone.

It can be heard that this guy is very proud of himself.

Relying on Luyuan Community, Fatty's security company is doing a great job.

Tao Xin thought that there would be a dinner party tonight, so she might as well invite the fat man to attend.

"There's a dinner tonight, are you free?"

"Yes, that's great. Tell me what time and location it is."

After chatting for a while, Tao Xin pretended to be casual and asked the fat man if he knew what Lin Mo was doing recently.

Fatty couldn't tell clearly.

"I haven't contacted Brother Lin for a long time. You know, he is very busy, and I don't dare to call him. By the way, Sister Tao, you can call him and ask. You know the number."

Tao Xin said, "You're too embarrassed to hit me, so why am I so embarrassed?"

Then he said a few words in a hurry and hung up the phone.

Time flies and it's night.

Tao Xin briefly dressed up, changed her clothes and then opened the door and went out.

After calling a car at the door and telling the master the specific address, Tao Xin began to look at the scenery outside the window. Wearing a mask, a hat, and glasses when going out, no one can tell who she is unless she looks close to her face.

The safe zone is still bustling. If you just look outside, you would think it is the same as before.

There are many people on the road, but if you have the opportunity to climb up the towering city wall of the safety zone and look outside, you will find that most of the city outside is pitch black.

There was an eerie silence.

This will remind people how hard-won this peace and tranquility is now.

Tao Xin answered a phone call in the car. It was her best friend who asked her where she was. After hanging up the phone, she started tapping her phone to see if there was any news.

The gathering place is called ‘Yunxiang Pavilion’.

It is a very high-end restaurant in the safe zone of Tunjing City. After getting off the bus, Tao Xin was surprised to find that Fatty had already arrived and was waiting for her below.

"Why don't you go up?" Tao Xin asked.

"It's awkward for me to be alone, so I'll go up with you. When the time comes, Sister Tao, you can introduce me." The fat man chuckled. He was dressed like a dog today.

It's the same as going out on a blind date.

Tao Xin took the fat man upstairs and arrived at the private room. At this time, there were already several men and women present. Of course, there were more women than men.

There are female celebrities like Tao Xin, and there are also rich girls with rich families. At this dinner, men have become embellishments and decorations.

After introducing the fat man, we waited for a while, and then the meal started as soon as the last person arrived.

It was very pleasant to chat while eating.

The fat man's words were humorous, which made several girls at the dinner table laugh non-stop.

After having enough wine and food, someone suggested that we go to the ‘Nightmare Arena’ to play the next game.

Speaking of the Nightmare Arena, this is an 'entertainment' activity that has only become popular recently.

It is similar in nature to KTV, billiard room and nightclub in the past.

There are several ways to play. The most popular one is to buy a blind box and start a battle.

It's a bit like a boxing or fighting match, but it's nightmares who take the stage to fight.

Guests can choose to bet on one of the two parties. If they win, they will get a reward relative to the odds. They can also spend money directly to buy a nightmare blind box, which means randomly choosing one of the many nightmare candidates to fight on stage.

If you win, the ownership of this nightmare goes to the winner.

Of course, the nightmare cannot be taken away and can only remain in the arena, but after that, the owner can take 30% of the profits brought by the nightmare.

This thing is definitely more exciting than betting on horses or something like that.

So not long after it was launched, it immediately became popular in the entire whale swallowing market. Basically, anyone with some money has been exposed to it, and it is very addictive.

Tao Xin had heard of it before, but she had never played it. This was her first time.

Fatty spends most of his time in Migratory Bird City.

Migratory Bird City cannot be compared with Swallowing Whale City. It is considered a "countryman" in people's eyes. Naturally, this is the first time for Fatty to come into contact with such a novel thing.

To enter the Nightmare Arena, you must enter a dream.

So from the real world, the Nightmare Arena has two buildings, one is a dark 'Arena' that was transformed from a gymnasium, and the other is completely a hotel.

Guests need to book a room in the hotel first, then fall asleep, and then receive cards from a special passage to enter the Nightmare Arena.

After Tao Xin fell asleep, she opened the door and walked out of the room.

There are dedicated staff outside to provide guidance.

First receive the corresponding hand card. There is a number on the hand card. In the future, consumption and income here will be based on this hand card.

Meeting up with others at the entrance, the group followed the other guests and entered the Nightmare Arena through a special passage.

"The next fight will start in ten minutes. You can now place bets on the upcoming nightmare. The detailed introduction and odds can be found at the inquiry desk."

There was a female receptionist in cool clothes shouting along the road, soliciting more customers to join the betting.

After all, no matter who loses or wins, they can take a commission from it, which is the most important income in the entire Nightmare Arena.

In the past, some people did not like violence, but when they arrive at a scene like boxing and free fighting one day, they will find that the atmosphere can change a person.

That kind of fanaticism, violence and gambling-like things will awaken people's deepest instincts.

And this instinct will drive people to become obsessed with this matter.

Anyway, after entering the venue at this moment, both men and women present were very enthusiastic and excited.

Tao Xin obviously didn't like this kind of occasion.

It's just that she was forced to come here by a few best friends.

The fat man said he didn't like it either, but he wanted to pick up girls, so he didn't mind coming over to have a look.

In the middle is a stage surrounded by a special iron cage. There are seats around it, divided into three, six or nine grades. A good seat requires not only money, but also status.

Looking at the table in the middle, there were two or three people in protective clothing cleaning it. There were a lot of blood stains on the ground, and the smell of blood was in the air.

I don’t know what kind of nightmare the last gladiator was.

Tao Xin didn't place a bet, but several others did, saying they were two nightmares in the next fight, one called 'Eviscerate' and the other called 'Snake Aunt'.

There is some basic introduction about the two nightmares, but more details are not shown, so everyone needs to judge their own strength.

As for the odds between the two sides, they are completely floating.

In other words, if there are more people buying one side to win, then the odds of that side will naturally be less, and vice versa.

At any time, if you want to make a fortune, you can only fail.

This is the law.

Among Tao Xin's best friends, there was a fat man whom she had met before, who was also a big star; the others were more or less related to the entertainment industry. Because the competition had not started yet, they all chatted together and talked about each other. Some nightmare experiences will always cause everyone to exclaim.

But to be honest, these experiences cannot be compared with Tao Xin, let alone with Fatty.

At this time, when it comes to controlling nightmares, some people say that this nightmare cannot be controlled at all. Just like this arena, the central area is sealed by a special iron cage. In addition, there are other protections, just to avoid nightmares. Get out of trouble.

But the more this happens, the more exciting it becomes.

Seeking excitement is one of the many experiences these guests want to have.

The fat man fell in love with the rich girl who was talking, so he took over the conversation and said that nightmares were actually easy to control.

It was fine at first, they were talking and laughing, but something went wrong while they were talking. The two of them actually got into a fight over whether the nightmare could be controlled.

Originally, I said this just to start a conversation, but the fat man is also a serious person, and the woman opposite is also stubborn, and she keeps saying that the fat man doesn't understand, pretending to understand, and talking nonsense.

Fatty had never been so angry before. They started quarreling with each other.

"I said that nightmares cannot be controlled. Otherwise, why do we need to build iron cages here? If we can control it, wouldn't it be better to just make it an open environment? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. How many nightmares have you seen? , You dare to speak so loudly here." The rich girl had an aggressive attitude, with an expression on her face that said, "You don't understand, you can't shut up."

The fat man can't stand this, so he says it's because others are incompetent. You, little girl, are so young and have seen so much before you dare to speak like this.

"According to what you said, you can do it. Then why don't you bring a few nightmares out for a walk? Come on, let me see it, otherwise you will just talk nonsense. What I hate most is this kind of talkative talk. The man is boring." The rich girl's mouth was quite powerful, and she aroused the fat man's anger with just two words.

"You're looking down on me, right? OK, just wait, I'll bring you two over and let them go home with you for a few days."

The fat man slapped his thigh and wanted to go out.

But he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to bring Nightmare with him this time.

After all, the Whale City Safety Zone is a very safe place, and there is no need to take it out.

Seeing that the fat man was hesitant, the rich girl was still finishing her attack.

"Look, it's not working anymore. You know it's like this. Once you get serious, it's not going to work anymore. Hey, you have no ability to be so harsh."

The fat man calmed down at this time.

When he thought about it, why did he need to be familiar with this rich girl?

The other person is quite beautiful, and he agrees with his own aesthetics. He is the type he likes.

But she is too venomous and unforgiving. It would be troublesome to catch a girl like this.

At that moment, the fat man had already thought about their married life after giving birth to children. If he was scolded and looked down upon by the other party every day, he would be depressed in the future.

Come on.

Let’s not talk anymore and just ignore it.

Now he sat down and started watching the arena.

At this time, inside the iron cage, Nightmare Eviscerate and Aunt Snake also appeared.

Eviscerate was a murderer with a knife in his hand. Fatty took a look and felt that he looked like the butcher on the second floor. Of course, he was far worse than the butcher.

Aunt Snake was an old woman with a very strange appearance and a gloomy look on her face. She just stood there motionless.

The commentator's voice sounded at this time, nothing more than boosting the atmosphere on the field, and everyone's attention was attracted.

However, Eviscerate and Aunt Snake did not attack each other. The two of them looked outside the surrounding iron cage at this moment, with strong murderous intent in their eyes.

Eviscerate walked to the edge and tried to grab the iron cage, but was electrocuted back.

Apparently the cage was electrified.

There is no way out of a nightmare like theirs when the electricity is on.

The explanation is that threats begin at this time, usually the kind of brainless nightmares who will definitely attack each other if they are locked in a cage; if they encounter nightmares like this that have brains and are unwilling to kill each other, they will be threatened.

If you don't do anything, the iron cage will shrink and squeeze in a while, and then the powerful current will kill them all in the iron cage.

So if you don’t want to die, you have to take action.

According to usual experience, with a few threats, the nightmares inside will attack each other.

This is also true.

At this moment, Ebony shifted his gaze to Aunt Snake, and the next moment he pounced forward, raising his hand and stabbing Aunt Snake in the neck.

Fast, accurate and deadly.

Generally speaking, killer nightmares are smart.

They know that at this time they can only fight with other nightmares, otherwise they will definitely be killed.

Since they are bound to fight each other, it is better to strike first.

As soon as the evisceration moved, the surrounding audience immediately screamed with excitement.

Some even stared with fierce eyes, as if they were not the ones about to kill in the iron cage, but themselves.

The next moment, the deboning stopped.

"Did you get stabbed?"

"I can't see clearly."

There were guests talking below, and they all pushed forward at this moment.

I saw Ebony's body trembled, and if I looked carefully, I saw that the snake aunt across from me had her mouth open, and a venomous snake stretched out from her mouth, and had already bitten Ebony's wrist.

Then more venomous snakes quickly swam out from Aunt Snake's sleeves and collar, and began to attack, bite and remove bones.

The brutal murderer soon fell to the ground, twitched twice and became motionless.

Apparently snake venom is ferocious.

The battle ended in an unexpected way.

very fast.

No one even reacted.

Then there was a burst of cheers, obviously from those who bought Aunt Snake's victory.

The odds for Aunt Snake are very high. If you win this time, you will naturally make a lot of money.

Some people were happy and some were worried. Those who bought the Eviscerate and won naturally lost money. Everyone was cursing and saying that the Eviscerate was not useful.

Several people breathed their last in the positions closest to the central iron cage.

They are security personnel.

They are all people who have experienced many nightmare events and have received professional training. They are hired to watch the scene and prevent nightmares from escaping and hurting people.

The security captain immediately arranged to transfer Aunt Snake back.

People outside didn't know that the security captain was frightened just now.

Aunt Snake's strength was stronger than they estimated.

And much stronger.

Originally, Eviscerate and Aunt Snake were evenly matched. The organizers arranged this kind of gladiatorial competition. Of course, they hoped that the fight would be exciting, so that more people would watch and it would be beneficial.

A crushing instant kill like this is obviously not in their interests.

The main reason is that Aunt She clearly hid her strength before.

The security captain was looking at Aunt Snake at a close distance and felt something was wrong.

The opponent is too strong.

Can an iron cage protect you?

I hoped in my heart that I was overthinking it, so I opened the passage and asked Aunt Snake to quickly return to the cell inside.

But Aunt Snake didn't move.

Someone outside stabbed it with an electrified pole, but it didn't move.

Just stood there.

The unknown feeling in the security captain's heart became even stronger.

He felt something was going to happen.

The next moment, Aunt Snake suddenly raised her head and opened her big mouth. What happened next made his scalp numb and fear emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Countless little snakes as thick as fingers crawled out of Aunt Snake's mouth.

It's like flowing out of a fountain.

This kind of little snake is too small. It is swimming in all directions at the moment. Although the holes of the iron cage are small enough, it still cannot stop these little snakes.

They came out.

"No, press the alarm!"

When the security captain saw this scene, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

He hurriedly ran a few steps and pressed the red button on the wall.

Immediately the alarm sounded.

The surrounding audience still didn't know what happened, and they were all stunned in place at this moment.

At this time, the countless little snakes had already broken through the second line of defense and rushed out. Several security personnel who were close by were the first to suffer. They were bitten by the little snakes, then got into their mouths and noses, and began to fall to the ground and twitch.

"Run, run!"

the security captain yelled.

No one expected that an accident would happen at this time and in this way.

Seeing more small snakes swimming around, some of them had climbed onto the security captain's trouser legs. At this moment, the security captain knew that he was dead.

For a moment, he began to look back on the past.

However, the expected pain did not come. The security captain was extremely surprised. When he looked again, the little snake on his trouser leg quickly retreated.

Not only these, but all the small snakes around them were like sea water at low tide, starting to retreat quickly, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Everyone was stunned.

Don't know what happened.

No one dared to make a sound for fear of alarming these terrifying little snakes to attack again.

All the little snakes gathered together outside the iron cage at this moment, and then turned into Aunt Snake again.

I saw Aunt Snake staring in one direction with her eyes fixed in surprise and fear.

When everyone saw this scene, they all followed Aunt Snake's gaze and looked over there.

But he saw a child covered in purple climbing in through a window.

He looked around, then jumped up to Tao Xin and opened his arms.

"Godmother, give me a hug!"
