65. King's Game
(Anti-theft has been replaced)
Zong Jiu threw this punch, but of course he didn't hit anything.
He felt his hand hit thousands of cold and tough steel wires in the air, each of which cut the back of his hand painfully. The end was only a few inches away from the flawless face, but he couldn't hit it no matter what, which made him angry.
But the owner of that face smiled and said, "Don't be so fierce."
The man hooked his finger slightly, and the puppet silk disappeared from the air one by one.
After all the cold touches that hindered him disappeared, Zong Jiu's hand still couldn't move forward.
Because the hand wearing a white glove stretched out its index finger and gently tapped the magician's elbow, the latter seemed to be fixed in the air.
The trainees who were watching the bar closely on the rooftop were a little surprised, and didn't understand why the magician suddenly attacked an ordinary bartender NPC. Did the bartender anger him?
Zong Jiu slightly moved his eyes to the back of his hand.
Because he had used too much force just now, a shocking long bloodstain almost crossed the back of the entire finger bone.
Originally, it was just a little skin broken, and some blood oozed out from the capillaries, far from the extent of bleeding. But after being pressed by No.1, the blood swimming deep in the wound began to rush out, like a wisp of winding snake, gradually crawling all over the pale back of the hand.
It didn't hurt, but it looked quite scary.
Zong Jiu suddenly remembered that when he took the rose handed over by the devil in Las Vegas last time, a very similar scene also appeared.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.
"Did you guess it?"
The devil looked at him with a smile.
The tip of the white glove was still pressed there, and the red blood that oozed out dyed the tip red, which looked particularly abrupt.
The ability users are different from those with special physiques and special bloodlines.
The ability of the ability users needs constraints or media to activate. For example, the one who manipulates water in the S-level can only activate his ability in a place with a water source, so he usually has a special prop that can store water.
The same is true for No.1.
Zong Jiu thought that he should know what the medium for the devil's ability is.
He even has a bolder guess.
If this guess is true, Zong Jiu can add another trump card to face No.1.
......
The next day, the news that the Night Clan sent an invitation letter to the magician spread throughout the trainee dormitory.
Not only that, many people saw the magician and No.2 walk out of the tea room, walking side by side, talking happily, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, which shocked the crowd of onlookers.
The leader of the Night Clan has never been an easy person to deal with. He would lead his army to attack anyone who dared to negotiate with him without saying a word. He is a typical ruthless person who doesn’t talk much.
"Does the magician want to accept the recruitment of the Night Clan?"
They discussed it, "That's not impossible. If No. 2 embraces the first time, he will be a fifth-generation vampire, and the Night Clan will have another general."
"Alas, with such a good future, why would he choose to become a vampire that is neither human nor ghost?"
"Half-vampires are so powerful, it's normal to be tempted. Do you dare to say that you are not tempted by the recruitment of the Night Clan? It's good enough to be able to survive. Who would care so much?"
"This magician is also a character. It's okay for a C-level newcomer to get such incredible scores twice, and he can also win the favor of several adults."
In addition to these miscellaneous discussions, there is even an outrageous rumor that Fan Zhuo wants to train the magician as the heir of the Night Clan. The rumor is so realistic that even the person involved has to call it a good guy.
The dormitory for S-level trainees is also located on the top floor of the dormitory, at the other end of the open-air bar.
Ten doors of different styles stood silently on the horizon, with rolling waves and towering sky in the distance.
In the past, the S-class had its own restaurant and kitchen, and the dormitory was fully equipped with all facilities. If you needed anything, you could use the light computer to ask the waiter to bring it up anytime and anywhere, and there was also uninterrupted room service, so you didn't need to go downstairs at all. Even if you need to go downstairs, there is a private elevator inside their dormitory that can go directly to the beach outside the dormitory. These doors are just decorations here, and basically no one goes in and out on weekdays.
When Zong Jiu walked to the door, he felt a hot gaze on his back.
Many trainees thought he was going to No. 2's room to plot, but what they didn't expect was that the white-haired young man turned around and knocked on No. 3's door.
What was even more unexpected was that the door really opened.
Looking at the white-haired magician who walked into the door with ease, the others: ? ? ?
My goodness, this C-level newcomer who has been in the spotlight is actually friends with No.1, No.2, and No.3. How can he be so terrifying!
Zong Jiu walked into Zhuge An's dormitory.
Zhuge An's dormitory is just like him, very cold. The interior decoration style is modern and minimalist, with only black, white and gray. The owner of the dormitory is more direct. He pushed away the surrounding decorations, laid a Bagua formation in the middle of the living room, and sat cross-legged in the middle to meditate.
Zong Jiu: "..."
Zong Jiu: "Are you cultivating immortality?"
The black-haired man opened his eyelids and looked at him indifferently, "Sit down."
The guest follows the host's wishes, so Zong Jiu also learned to pick a place to sit down.
As for why he suddenly came to Zhuge An, the main reason was to find out about the prophecy.
In the deserted village dungeon, Zong Jiu carried the whole game and led Zhuge An to fly. The latter was leisurely and lazy, which was also considered good. The most hateful thing was that the score was not much lower.
Zong Jiu had made up his mind that he could just listen to the prophecy casually. It was really impossible. At most, he would try to find out the secrets that seemed to be shrouded in fog on Zhuge An.
For some reason, Zong Jiu's intuition told him that Zhuge An had something he wanted to know.
"I'll collect the reward I deserve."
Zhuge An didn't say anything.
He even closed his eyes again, maintaining the previous meditation posture.
Seeing him like this, Zong Jiu didn't urge him, but looked around boredly.
The huge dormitory fell into silence again.
After a long time, the man slowly spoke.
As soon as he spoke, he threw a string of deep-water fish/mines.
"You are not from this world."
The white-haired young man raised his eyebrows, "You said this in the copy of the mental hospital."
At that time, Zong Jiu was inexplicably exposed. Fortunately, Zhuge An only thought that he was not from this world. He didn't expect that he was a book-crosser who could predict the future. So Zong Jiu chose to change the subject, talking about something else, and let the topic end in vain.
Zhuge An said calmly, "Yes, I still had doubts at that time, but now I am sure enough."
"Oh? Tell me."
He kept thinking about this question, and Zong Jiu also found it strange.
If there was not enough experience or omen, how could he see the clues at a glance? There must be something strange.
Who would have thought that the black-haired man would be silent again.
After a long time, just when Zong Jiu wanted to push him to see if this big brother was asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes again.
"Give me a drop of your blood." Zhuge An said.
Blood?
Zong Jiu frowned in his heart.
Blood is a thing that is fine in other places, but it is very troublesome in the horror infinite flow.
The importance of blood in Eastern legends is self-evident. In Southeast Asian witchcraft, blood is one of the keys to the curse of evil magic. Northern and Southern Europe also firmly believe that blood is the source of power.
Previously, Zong Jiu suspected that the medium for the demon to implant the puppet silk might be "contact" or "causing a wound with blood". Now Zhuge An suddenly mentioned this again, which made Zong Jiu cautious.
Seeing his eyes full of suspicion, Zhuge An said coldly: "You can be immune to the control of the demon, and naturally you can also be immune to the blood curse."
"If you don't give me your blood, I can't be sure that you are the person in the prophecy."
Zong Jiu raised his eyebrows, but didn't talk nonsense. Instead, he took out a poker card from his pocket and gently painted it on his ring finger.
This is what puzzled Zong Jiu the most.
Zhuge An knows a lot of things, and there are even a lot of information that Zong Jiu himself has just learned.
According to the other party, all of this is inseparable from the prophecy.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge An did nothing.
He directly collected the drop of blood, and then he spoke, "Who made this prophecy of yours?"
Zong Jiu expressed his willingness to hear more details.
Zhuge An uttered three words, "My teacher, Guiguzi."
These three words are famous and full of legends.
Guiguzi, one of the founders of Taoism, was a famous thinker and strategist in the Warring States Period. Legend has it that he knows the destiny of heaven and can turn the world into chess without leaving Guigu.
However, the Guiguzi mentioned by Zhuge An is not the one in history.
The Guiguzi he is talking about is a survivor who was active in the infinite loop ten years ago.
People die anytime and anywhere in the infinite loop, and the survivors are basically updated and replaced every year. There are countless new faces, and only those who can survive are the kings.
People ten years ago are no less than antiques from centuries ago in the real world in the infinite loop.
Here, everyone just wants to survive, no one writes history books, and no one will remember the glory of the dead. No matter how powerful you are when you are alive, you will not be remembered after you die.
Some survivors even joked that every three years is an infinite cycle. After all, very few people can survive three years here.
The Guiguzi mentioned by Zhuge An is the only legendary figure that exists in the word of mouth of trainees.
How legendary is he? It is said that he is just like his name, knowing astronomy and geography, ghosts and gods, and even... peeping into the future.
The black-haired man slowly said, "Back then, the teacher was just a little bit away from saving everyone from this game."
As for the result, there is no need to say more, otherwise they would not still be here.
"Although it failed. But when the teacher was dying, he opened the altar and performed a ritual, consuming the power of heaven and earth, and finally told a fortune."
"Ten years later, a stranger with a completely different appearance will enter the infinite loop, inherit his will, and fulfill his last wish. And I--"
Zhuge An said, "I am the one who was ordered to wait here and assist you."
The author has something to say: The update is here. I have to catch a plane today. I don't know if I can add more updates to everyone in the evening. Thank you all for the nutrient solution! _(:3∠)_
