Infinite spooky game

The bidding continued. After realizing that the person with the lowest points might lose the qualification to form a team, the remaining few newcomers who only had 1,000 points became nervous and rushed to join in the bidding.

Unfortunately, they were ultimately no match for the elderly with higher points, and ultimately could only be auctioned off for anyone to choose from.

The team formation results came out quickly. Dong Xiwen and a white youth named Ryan were in a team. The two of them had a total of 1,100 points remaining.

A middle-aged man named Zhang Mo and a young girl named Qin Mu formed a team and also had 1,100 points remaining.

Lin Ye teamed up with a young man named Fan Zhanwei, with 1,200 points remaining.

Qi Si and Nian Fu have 1,100 points remaining, Green and Chu Xun have 1,700 points remaining, and Chang Xu and Liu Yuhan have 1,000 points remaining.

As expected, Chang Xu's team had the lowest points and became the so-called "tail wolf".

The only person left was a middle-aged white man named "Cinderella", who failed to successfully form a team.

He was eliminated simply because he was unlucky and was the last one to go on stage.

He realized his fate the moment other players had formed a team and finished. He knelt down on the stage in front of Qisi, his voice trembling: "Please, I really don't want to die... My research is just one step away, and there are thousands of people waiting for my medicine..."

He began to talk about his contributions to society, using all kinds of incomprehensible professional terms, trying to tell everyone how his research would benefit mankind.

I don’t know whether these words are true or not, but it doesn’t matter.

Using the value of reality as an example is enough to prove that his value in the game is insignificant.

Otherwise, as a smart person, he could have analyzed the pros and cons and persuaded another bidder to team up with him when the second to last player came on stage, instead of making a meaningless bid.

What he said now was simply to persuade Qi Si to commit suicide immediately so that others could pass.

Unfortunately for Qisi, even if everyone in the world died and he was the only one alive, it wouldn't be a problem. At most, he would commit suicide in a few years because of boredom.

The thought that if he died, it would allow others to live easily made him feel uncomfortable all over, and made him more determined to live a little longer.

The young man in red sighed, "What does this have to do with me? I don't want to die. No one wants to die. Besides, you didn't have to die in the first place."

He stopped there, but his meaning was clear.

If Chang Xu had not activated the identity card effect and added a new main task, the person who died in this round would be Nian Fu.

If Chang Xu had not lent out points, it would have been Lin Ye who died, not those newcomers who had a thousand points.

No one thinks there is anything wrong with not taking the proper route to complete the game and instead thinking about killing someone to complete the main quest.

They hated Qisi for being a human being, so why didn't he keep the overall situation in mind and consciously choose to die; they hated Chang Xu for activating the identity card effect so hastily when he clearly couldn't kill Qisi in the first place.

"I don't want to die... I'm sorry..." Cinderella murmured, and suddenly rushed towards Qis.

A sharp scalpel was outlined in his right hand, and he raised it high and stabbed it into Qis's heart.

However, at the moment when it was about to touch, his movement froze, as if there was an invisible transparent wall blocking him and Qis, preventing the blade from moving forward even a little bit.

His eyes were instantly covered with a layer of grayish-white film, and his face turned as pale as a zombie.

He seemed to have his soul and mind taken away. He retreated backwards in a daze and stood back in the center of the stage. He was like a dead object, eerily quiet.

The goat said before, 'The game hasn't officially started yet, and hurting each other outside the game is not allowed.'

Cinderella violated this and was punished by the dungeon mechanics.

Amid the sighs of the animals, the goat counted down indifferently: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

The countdown sounds were like cold icicles hitting the ground, and other than that there was silence.

The players waited in silence for this segment to end, and no one intended to speak for Cinderella.

"Three, two, one! No one is bidding!"

The corners of the goat's lips slightly raised, revealing a strange smile: "Unfortunately, this new friend was eliminated on the first day because he failed to find a team willing to accept him!

"This is not because of his lack of ability, but because he lost the blessing of luck. It is undeniable that he is still a 'hero of mankind'..."

The animals laughed a high-pitched, shrill laugh, as if the word "hero" itself was a joke.

Chang Xu stared at the goat, estimating the distance and strength comparison.

The rules only say that you can’t attack players, so…what about holding NPCs hostage?
A huge black sickle appeared behind him, and a slender golden chain was connected to the iron rings on it, lingering with the breath of death.

【Name: Life Break】

[Type: props]

[Effect: Harvest lives, can consume energy to instantly move within a five-meter range]

[Note: The sickle commonly used by the Grim Reaper. Is it the Grim Reaper or the sickle that appears and disappears? This is a question.]

Chang Xu raised his hand and grasped the sickle, concentrating his mind and trying to teleport behind the goat, but he felt his body was fixed in place and unable to move.

At the same time, all players heard the system announcement:

[The power of God is inviolable, and God cannot be killed by humans. 】

This is a warning and also a final conclusion.

In this instance, players seem to have no way to deal with those "gods" with animal heads and human bodies, and can only let them slaughter them...

The goat didn't even look at Chang Xu. He turned his head to look at Cinderella, whose eyes were dull, and continued, "Of course, we also want to congratulate this hero. Although he was abandoned by his human companions, he is honored to have the qualification to become a sacrifice for the Lord God!"

As soon as the words fell, the circular platform under the players' feet suddenly vibrated.

Everyone subconsciously took two steps back, only Cinderella was still standing there stupidly, drooling from her mouth.

Perhaps it was a blessing for him to die without knowing anything.

I saw a big hole slowly opening up in the center of the platform, revealing the smelly bloody water that was almost overflowing below. Several skeletons were looming under the water, with their arms twisted into strange shapes, as if they were trying to climb onto the shore.

Cinderella fell into the blood without splashing a drop of blood. She seemed to be swallowed by an invisible giant and slowly sank, leaving only her head exposed.

His outer shell was turning pink at a speed visible to the naked eye. To be more precise, the outer layer of skin was silently dissolving, revealing the bloody muscles underneath.

Soon, even the muscles melted, collapsing layer by layer like cooked clay, being patiently and meticulously absorbed by the blood and becoming a part of the blood.

The bones covered with fascia fell apart weakly, and the head that was originally exposed above the water also sank, wrapped in sticky blood.

Qis looked up at the white temple suspended in the sky, with golden vines hanging sacredly, calm, solemn and distant.

It seemed like two different worlds compared to the chaotic and bloody Colosseum below, and there was no visible connection between the two.

He lowered his eyes and saw the cracked stone slab of the circular table slowly closed without leaving a gap, and it was as smooth and intact as before.

——I don’t know what the principle of this sacrifice is. There is no vision or movement at all.

The animals in the audience seemed to have seen some miracle. They cheered loudly and enthusiastically, making noises that humans could not understand. They were no different from the fanatical believers of cults in reality.

To the players, that sound sounded like a death knell.

No matter how much experience one has in dealing with dungeons, people are still afraid of death, especially this kind of painful death that leaves no intact body.

NPCs cannot be killed, the rules of the beast fighting game are unclear, and it is unknown who will be the next death point. No one wants to die. No one wants to die.

Several players who were hesitant before now became more determined to kill Qis.

After all, no matter how powerful Qis is, he is just a human being, and is much easier to deal with than NPCs and copy mechanisms.

They even blamed Green in their hearts.

If Green is willing to lend points to Lin Ye, let Lin Ye and Qis team up, and then Lin Ye takes the opportunity to backstab a group of teammates, wouldn't everyone be happy?

The animals' cries gradually subsided, and the sky suddenly became gloomy, as if covered by a dark cloud.

The goat looked around at the players and grinned, "Today is over. I believe you are all exhausted. Now you can go back to your rooms and rest.

"The animals that correspond to each of your teams, and the locations of the rooms... God should have already told you."

The system interface in the upper left corner of the line of sight refreshes the icon.

Qi Si saw a furry, three-dimensional fox head embedded in the gray background.

[Fox] is the team he belongs to in this dungeon.

Next to the fox head is a compass that rotates slightly as the perspective shifts.

When Qi Si cast his peripheral vision in one direction, the pointer pointed forward.

In that direction, a stone door with carved patterns was half-open. It should be his room.

The players all saw their corresponding animals and rooms, but no one moved.

In this kind of game where two camps compete against each other, information is extremely important. Everyone wants to know where others live and does not want their location to be exposed.

As the sky grew darker, the animals surrounding the Colosseum gradually dispersed.

Today's performance is over, and they have had enough of the excitement. What the players do next is none of their business.

Goats actively stood at the exit of the Colosseum to maintain order.

After all the animals left, he returned to the round table and said to the players: "Since one person was eliminated today, all of you have received a portion of food, which has been placed in your respective rooms. I hope you enjoy your meal!"

Then, like a worker in a hurry to get off work, he turned around and walked quickly towards the exit without looking back.

Dong Xiwen stretched his neck to look for a while, then tentatively took a step towards the exit.

The next second, the new rule is triggered on the system interface of all players:
[During the beast fighting game, humans cannot leave the Colosseum. 】

...That's okay.

The players are like trapped beasts, and can only engage in endless disputes and killings in the Colosseum until Qis dies, or... the winner is decided.

Fan Zhanwei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Qisi, I want to talk to you."

He had half-long hair, with bangs covering his eyes, and looked lifeless: "Combining your choices since entering the dungeon, I preliminarily judge that Chang Xu's accusation against you is true. But this does not constitute a prerequisite for the game.

“I have no intention of seeking justice. My hostile intentions towards you are based on the fact that killing you is a relatively low-difficulty main mission and is in line with economic principles. Once the equilibrium point changes, I will adopt a different strategy.

"My main goal is to pass the game. Personal emotions, public order and morality, and cause and effect have no influence on me. I hope you can also look at this game rationally."

Before Qi Si could speak, Lin Ye asked coldly, "Fan Zhanwei, what do you mean by that? I spent points to take a picture of you, and you're turning against me now?"

Fan Zhanwei said: "Even if you don't bid, as I am the fourth person to go on stage, there will be people who are eager to complete the team and bid, such as Cinderella who is the last one to go on stage.

"On the contrary, I think that you, who are irrational, would not be the most suitable teammate for me."

He walked straight to a stone door and pushed it open with quick and decisive movements.

Most of the players around didn't react and looked at each other in confusion.

"Are you sick..." Lin Ye cursed softly. It was not easy to separate from his teammates who had more points, so he had to follow them.

It’s strange to say, Fan Zhanwei didn’t say a word before, he thought he had the other person in his hand and looked down on him in his heart; but now that he was criticized, he felt that the other person was unfathomable and was a teammate he could trust and rely on.

With someone taking the lead, the others were no longer so persistent about entering the room later, and they all walked towards their respective rooms one by one.

The game hasn't started yet. We can't kill each other, and there's no point staying outside.

As for the harsh words...

Most players are past the age of suffering from chuunibyou, and they are well aware that the more they talk, the more mistakes they make.

Qi Si is obviously a person who will not be blackmailed by morality. He has his own logic in dealing with things, and no matter how much you talk to him, it will not change anything.

Lin Ye's previous experience was right in front of him. If Chang Xu hadn't lent him points, he would have really been killed by Qi Si and Dong Xiwen...

In that case, let’s eat and sleep first.

Qi Si waited until most of the players had dispersed before walking towards the door the pointer was pointing to and reaching out to push it open.

The door looked like it was carved from marble, but it was very light to push, like an ordinary pivot door that opened with a push.

Qi Si walked into the room and saw a 30-square-meter stone room. A furry fox mask was hung on the wall opposite the door, and there were two piles of straw on the ground, which looked like beds.

There was a bowl next to each straw bed, filled with bloody pieces of meat, but no one knew what the meat was made of.

Combined with Cinderella's death and the pool of blood under the stage, it is inevitable to give rise to bad associations.

Nian Fu walked into the room slowly and the door closed automatically behind her.

She squatted down beside the thatched bed and made a joke in a casual manner: "Qis, does this count as a man and a woman alone in the same room?"

Qi Si had no intention of responding. He preferred hell jokes to cold jokes.

He shifted his gaze from the blood and flesh in the bowl to Nian Fu: “I’m curious why you chose to bid.

"It doesn't seem very convincing to eliminate you, who has the lowest score, just because they are worried that someone will break their promise. There is no need for them to give up the benefits that are within their reach to harm an insignificant person.

"Or is there any information that I don't know?"

Nian Fu did not answer immediately, but raised her head, smiled and asked: "May I ask, if I don't bid, will you die?"

"No," said Zeiss, "I came here with my teammates."

"It seems that he doesn't have a very good relationship with you. He didn't make an offer right away."

"Dividing into different teams will help us get more information, won't it?"

"I understand." Nian Fu stood up and looked directly into Qi Si's eyes.

She smiled and said seriously, “I teamed up with you because I can’t accept the NE clearance.

“The final dungeon is about to open, and I need an identity card. This is the first world view that explicitly involves gods that I have encountered since I entered the game.

“The Goat has repeatedly stressed that you are the only player who qualified through intelligence, and I think you will be the key to TE’s clearance.

"I will invest my all in you, and I hope you can help me win this game." (End of this chapter)
