Chapter 536 #183; The world belongs to the lighthouse.(1/2)
"clang--!"
A bell rang, and the originally bright hall suddenly darkened.
Xiao Ai withdrew her legs, and several players watching the fun also silenced.
Nine golden candlesticks were placed in front of people, and the flames were swaying like ghosts.
This final nine-man lineup really surprised people, and many gambling markets collapsed and went bankrupt.
Not only did the second tier Aini, Flora, Lushu, Yamadachoichi, Luna and others were eliminated, but even Edward, Alander, who were given the most popular first tier, were not there.
In addition to Su Ming'an, Noel and Mizushima Kawakazu, Lu and Beiwang, these five top ten peak players were expected, including Angel, Joey, and Shirley.
...They actually gathered together at this time.
"Tap, tap."
The sound of calm footsteps suddenly came from above. The castle has four or five floors and covers a very wide area. The sound came from the stone stairs.
Since the oil lamps were gone, there were only a faint light source of the fireplace and nine candlesticks. They couldn't see the person clearly, but they should be the publisher of the rules.
"...Looking at the vague figure, isn't it the boss rabbit?" Shirley said softly.
The boss rabbit used to issue rules to them, but now it seems like a replacement.
The inspection mission of the shadow has been 100%, so naturally he will no longer pretend to be the boss rabbit to issue the rules.
The man walked along the way, with his footsteps ringing one after another, neither hurry nor slow, like the last VIP who appeared in the dance party, he looked very high and very stylish.
The nine players, four guides, and hundreds of millions of spectators outside the field were staring at the dark stairs nervously and expectantly, waiting for the person hiding in the darkness to walk under the light source.
Suddenly, a dazzling halo shot out from Su Mingan's wrist and suddenly hit the man's face. The man's body suddenly shrank back.
"——Good morning, my dear An Jiang! A Duke's Evolution Three-Type Artificial Intelligence Watch will prompt you on time. It is January 11, 2022, at 12:00 a.m.! Today I loaded the song "Good Luck" from my hometown--"
"Bang!" Su Mingan flipped his wrist and covered the watch on the table and knocked it, and it suddenly became quiet.
"I told you to turn on the lights and didn't let you speak," he said.
He just wanted to shine, and the watch was called "An Jiang"... It was obviously a smart AI that could learn, but he didn't learn it well, so he learned all the miscellaneous names.
Dr. Xu, who made the watch, wanted the watch to follow him, experience various world copies, and allow AI to gradually grow and evolve, but as a result, this watch learned "An Jiang".
Su Mingan raised his hand, and the strong light hit the man again, completely shaking the man's appearance.
The other players were stunned - the rule promulgator appeared like this, obviously to show his high standards. As a result, Su Mingan beat the light and instantly ruined the style of walking with the darkness.
They looked at the man shrouded in light and saw the man wearing a solid black robe.
The man seemed to be a little lost in the darkness by the strong light. His pale and slender hands blocked his face, looking a little photophobic. He looked like a mouse that was forcibly dug out of the ground by someone.
"—It's you!" After seeing the man in black robe, Joey's slit eyes rarely widened.
He recognized the man in black robe - wasn't this the guy who deliberately abducted and lost his spiritual guide, and drove the black beast to kill people in the dome?
Su Mingan also recognized the man in black robe.
He and the man in the black robe fought in a cave a few days ago. The man in the black robe captured the guides, hoping to use them as the energy to curse the black beasts and drive these dangerous monsters.
For some reason, the man in black robe initially favored him was 95 points, but because he recognized the other party as Su Lin at that time, he reduced his favorability by 5 points.
After being shrouded by Su Mingan, the man in black robes immediately accelerated his pace and quickly walked to the fireplace.
He was wearing a dark mask and no one saw his face clearly.
The warm fire thundered on his dark mask, glowing with a sharp metallic color.
"You can put away your light, outsiders, before I get angry," he said to Su Mingan.
Su Mingan closed his watch.
This watch has no other function, its brightness is really high, and he is almost blind when he sees it from a distance. The man in black robe who faces the strong light is probably affected by a lot of light pollution.
He looked at the man in black robe in front of the fireplace and thought to himself.
He can now confirm two points.
First, this npc black robe man may not be able to attack the players at the moment.
Second, the man in black robe has a very high likeness for his role, so high that he will not lose his favor even if he is teased like this...
“—Welcome to my castle.”
The man in black suddenly opened his arms, and his low voice rumbled in the empty hall.
He stood in front of the fireplace, carrying light, and a long shadow was drawn in front of him. People could only see his slightly reflective metal mask, and saw the pattern of beasts with silver layers on it. The pattern seemed to affect people's spirit, making them feel as if they saw the primitive scroll of people and hunting in the ancient times, and the swords and fires in the wormwood grassland forest.
He looked extremely proud, and was welcoming their guests from afar with a calm and confident attitude. The fire was beating behind him, and he spread his arms like a erected, dark cross standing in front of the fire, like a god embracing the flames in the story.
...However, the following wave of lightning just now made his stature fall out instantly.
The players looked at him a little embarrassedly, and even the sleepy north look was awakened by the strong light.
"What was it just now?" He rubbed his eyes: "It's so bright..."
"——You are at your age! How can you sleep!" Lu said.
"..." Bei Wang looked at him with a dull eyes, as if there was a hazy mist in his eyes, and he seemed to have not woken up.
"——All guests from afar, welcome to my banquet." The man in black robe ignored the whispers of these players and continued:
"——You are all contestants in the ritual field. You must have experienced hardships when you come here, so I have prepared a grand banquet for you..."
This is the first time Su Mingan has seen such a shameless rule introducer.
Lu and Beiwang are talking about theirs below, and the man in black robe talks about his above, and the two lines seem to be completely disconnected, reminding him of the university open class class.
"...But before attending the banquet, you need to know some rules..." When the man in black robe said this, the players finally reacted and raised their heads.
A blue panel appeared in front of everyone.
...
【Final Silver Star Copy】
[Copy name: Exploration of the Castle]
【Difficulty: 5 Silver Stars (the winner will get 5 Silver Stars)】
【Number of participants: 9 people】
[Suggest players to be good at directions: intelligence, luck, and keenness.]
[In the ancient castle, there are clean and tidy corridors and warmly decorated rooms.
The hospitality of the Dome Dome will prepare you for a pleasant vacation.
As outsiders who have come from afar, you will spend three warm and healing nights here...]
...
With a slight "swish", a black feather suddenly appeared in everyone's hands.
Su Mingan took a look and said bright red 1 on his feathers.
"Now, all of you should have a feather on your hands." said the man in black robe:
"Your mission is to search for this castle, get more feathers, and add the numbers in your hands to 100 points.
At noon on the third day, you can come to the hall to gather and hand over the feathers in your hands. Only when the total number of everyone reaches 100 points will you be considered a victory.
But there are insiders who want to deliberately destroy their feathers. They have replaced the original person, no longer the person you know. They will deliberately destroy the feathers scattered everywhere, so that you will not end up reaching 100 points.
Beware of them and kill them as soon as possible!
Friendly reminder: When someone dies, the feathers in his/her hands will be automatically destroyed, so please do not accidentally hurt innocent people, so as not to end the feathers cannot reach 100 o'clock."
After talking about the rules of the man in black robe, several people digested it for a while.
They really didn't expect that the final dungeon was a team-cooperated system, and they thought it would be a fight between each other.
"Why, what is the number of the initial feather on our hands determined?" asked Mizushima Kawa Sora.
The feathers on her hand are distinctive 3.
The numbers of the people next to him were not big. Among them, the numbers on Road and Northwest were 12, Noel's numbers were 18, Herbert and Joey were 3 points and 4 points, and Shirley's numbers were the highest, with 24 points. Angel's feathers happened to be protected by him and were not exposed.
"Depending on your kindness," said the man in black: "The purer and kinder person, the higher the number."
Su Mingan stared at the bright red number 1 in his hand and glanced at it.
...Hmph, I cheated him again.
He turned his head and went to see Xiao Ai's feathers, and his eyes suddenly stopped.
Xiao Ai's hand protected the feathers and was not seen by others, but he had seen it-the number on her feathers was 99.
1+99=100, his calculation should not be wrong.
... Has it won?
What are you playing with this copy?
"Ask a question, does the inner ghost know that he is an inner ghost?" Lu raised his hand and said.
To be continued...
