Chapter 147 The Meteor Street of Vengeance
After eating and drinking and returning to the hall, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Yelan touched the two thin blankets provided on the boat and handed them to Leorio and Kurapika: "Go to sleep for a while, I will call you if something happens. "
"Those two..." Kurapika couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw Ye Lan's appearance of going to watch for them, "Why don't you go to bed first, and we'll change shifts at four o'clock?"
"Then let's keep watch for four hours, but I'm a little worried about Xiaojie, you guys rest first, I'll wait for him to come back, and you will watch in the early morning."
Of course Yelan didn't wake them up again, but Xiaojie still didn't come back at four o'clock. She scanned the cabin with mental strength and found that he was sleeping soundly in a room like a training room, with Nitro beside him , Only then did I really relax my tense mind.
But he didn't notice that after he closed his eyes and entered into meditation, two pairs of eyes looked over, obviously aware of Ye Lan's investigation, one was cold and lifeless, and the other was full of interest.
Edmund has been vigilant all the time, so he naturally felt it, but he didn't look back. The former is fine. If he really accepts the provocation from the latter's eyes, the clown's interest will definitely be even higher. He doesn't want to attract attention. Come and pay more attention.
The arrival time at the destination was not earlier, on the contrary, it was an hour and a half late - at [-]:[-], the airship landed on top of a towering stone tower.
"Our current location is the top of the cheap trap tower, and it is also the place where the third test begins." The examiner did not appear, but the bean face man appeared to explain, "About the content of the test, the following is what the examiner asked me to paraphrase— 'Hope everyone makes it to the surface alive, time limit is 72 hours.'”
The cheap trap tower is a tall cylindrical tower. Looking from top to bottom, there is no window, only a thick stone wall. Needless to say, the height, jumping down is sure to die.
In other words, there must be other ways to reach the bottom, and going down from the outer wall is impossible-this is proved by a rock climber who tried to climb the outer wall but was eaten by strange birds.
Yelan walked back and forth for a few steps, and her sensitive ears could hear the difference in the footsteps, and probably guessed the mechanism.
In one place, there are five traps within a very short distance. Judging from the echo of the sound when knocking, it is connected to the same space below; a group of them, with strange additions, became six people, more than traps. There was one person.
Yelan is not afraid of fighting alone, but she is worried about Xiaojie and the others, so she decides to split up with them temporarily, so that they can pass this test together as long as they are looking for someone to cooperate with.
"No, no, no! You found these secret doors, let you and Edmund use them." Kurapika quickly refused.
I don't know if there are other passages that will merge into the same space. If not, he is really worried that Yelan and Edmund will stay in this tower forever if they are separated.
Yelan was a little distressed, why didn't they believe in their own strength?Does he really look that weak?
It is also the loss of both eyes. If Ye Lan does not hide her ugliness, she will show her two dark eye sockets to others, which may make people feel horrible and intimidating; The head is full of gold, silver and jewelry, like a well-protected vase.
Kurapika was quite confident in his own strength, so he suggested: "Why don't you and Edmund join Xiaojie, Kiya and Leorio, and I'll find another secret door." He is more at ease in a group.
"No!"
Don't forget, the reason why Ye Lan became partners with several people is not only because he likes Xiaojie, but also because of Kurapika, a survivor of the Kuluta tribe.
In this dangerous hunter experiment, Yelan must protect Kurapika even if he does whatever it takes. It would be best if she could escort him all the way to become a hunter.
"Don't argue, I'll follow you as a spirit." Edmund proposed a compromise, "I didn't say that a secret door can only be passed by one person, it's just that the secret door will be closed after someone passes through. , if there is a way to pass through the closed secret door, it is also my ability, and the association can't say anything."
"Indeed..." Kurapika pondered for a while, "The examiner only asked us to reach the bottom floor, and there was no restrictive means, such as climbing down from the outer wall, and there was no explicit prohibition. The strange bird prevents candidates from getting off the tower from the outer wall, that is to say, if you can deal with the strange bird, it is also possible to climb the wall directly..."
Ye Lan: "..." Oh, then he really has a way.
Edmund immediately saw Ye Lan's thoughts.
(Master, you'd better not do that, it's too conspicuous...) He warned Yelan directly from his mind.
(I haven't said anything yet...)
(Don't you just want to fly straight down, and use the ability to drive away the strange bird in the middle? No need to guess.)
Edmund sneered.
This person is so easy to understand... It is his shortcoming, but also his advantage, and it is his charm - so pure and straightforward, without any twists and turns, and a bright heart that attracts him Such a dark vengeful ghost.
After solving the problem of the number of people, everyone immediately took their positions, turned down the secret door, and after a moment of darkness, they saw other partners again.
"Yelan's hearing is really good! I can't tell that the room below is the same room just by the echo!" Xiaojie knows that his five senses are relatively good, but it's still not as good as Yelan's [-]%.
"You have such strength now, and the future must be even more limitless." Ye Lan also did not hesitate to praise her, and praised Xiaojie blindly.
"Why isn't Edmund coming down?" Yelan and Xiaojie were exchanging business over there, while Kurapika was observing the ceiling carefully, without any movement.
In fact, Edmund was already in the room, but appearing out of thin air would scare people, so he kept his spirit body and did not show up.
(Master, you leave this room with them first, and I will catch up.)
(good.)
"Edmund said that we are still here and it's not good for him to show up, let's leave first." Yelan spoke quickly, and no one noticed that the word he used was "appear" instead of "come down".
Several other people immediately figured out that Edmund was going to destroy the entire ceiling, and they didn't dare to do it for fear of hurting them. They quickly put on the watches on the round table by the wall, followed the instructions to conduct a majority vote, and everyone pressed the circle , opened the door to leave.
After passing through, the door closed automatically again, but was immediately pierced through by a violent punch.
"Let's go." Edmund relaxed as if he had just punctured a layer of white paper, and led the crowd forward aggressively, so no one checked the situation in the room behind, only the examiner on the monitor knew that he did not Instead of breaking through the ceiling and entering the room, it appeared out of the body reconstituted by countless golden particles.
"This is really... an out-and-out monster, but that's what makes it interesting!" If it weren't for this bad taste, Lieber wouldn't be the manager of this cheap trap tower, "Looks like I have fun with 'them', hehehehe~"
Next is a fork, OX is the right and the left respectively, which is also decided by majority vote; as a result, 3O2X, the road to the right is opened.
According to the knowledgeable Kurapika, there is a theory called the Law of the Left, which says that in terms of praxeology, when human beings encounter a bottleneck and don’t know which way to go, they often subconsciously choose the left, so he and the same Qi Ya, who had heard this rule, went the other way and chose O, while Leorio and Xiaojie, who thought more simply, chose X.
"Yelan, did you choose the right side because you heard about this theory?" Xiaojie was curious about the reason why Yelan pressed the circle.
"Huh? I chose the left side?" A look of confusion.jpg
Well, well, this is also a simple minded one.
Edmund resisted the shaking of his shoulders that he could hardly suppress, and grabbed Ye Lan's hand: "...Your watch is worn backwards."
"...Since you saw it, why didn't you tell me QAQ?"
"Wouldn't it be nice for you to have a dream of being considered a smart person by others?" While mocking, Edmund re-wrapped Yelan's watch.
"Edmund, you've learned badly." Ye Lan was heartbroken.
"Master, are you asking for a good character from a vengeful ghost born from hell?" He wouldn't say that he forgot to remind Ye Lan because he was holding back his laughter.
Ye Lan said that he wanted to be quiet, don't ask him who Jing Jing is.
Through the long corridor, they were greeted by a huge empty space, with a ring separated by a deep chasm in the center, and a strange group of five wearing worn-out hoods inside the opposite door.
With a bang, the handcuffs of the person on the opposite side were untied, and from the heavy sound of the landing, one could tell how heavy the shackles were.
The man took off his hood, revealing his true face—a muscular man with a bald head.
"We are examiners specially hired by the review committee. If you want to pass, you must fight with 5 of us; the written test is conducted one-on-one, and each person can only play one round. The order is determined by each person. Under the rule of majority vote, You only need three wins to get out of here."
The strong man is the most social of the five, and that's why he was chosen to represent the rules.
"The rules of the game are very simple, and the style of play depends on everyone's pleasure! The game is either a win or a loss, and there is no draw; when one side concedes, the other side wins."
This road is the road of the majority, even if they want to accept this test, they have to vote to decide, but this is a contest that must be accepted, and they have no choice, except for agreeing, there is no other choice.
The bald man stated that his side would be his first appearance, and the examinees were free to choose favorable candidates to deal with.
"Then let me, the elder, take the lead first." Ye Lan volunteered.
"...Master, let me do it." Even if the opponent is as weak as an ant, Edmund still fulfills his duties as the master of the sword and shield, and wants to win the qualification for the first battle .
In other words, he won't let Yelan get hurt in any way.
