secret dice.

Chapter 459 Old friends meet
Qi Yulan, the Corpse King, is one of the four ghost kings under the [Supernatural] Apostle. Although he is not at the peak yet, he is highly appreciated for his ability to control puppets. He is one of the most troublesome polluters among the [Supernatural] for Yuan Xiuhui.

Generally speaking, to deal with a summoner-like character like this, one must bypass the puppets she controls and go straight for the fragile main body. However, all those who tried to do this before were defeated by this corpse king.

Few people know that this seemingly fragile and skinny old lady’s upper limit of single-round defense may very well be the leader of the four ghost kings!
Because her puppet ability has a derivative skill, which is life sharing.

The vitality of the puppets controlled by her will be bound to her inner energy to form a shield. The more puppets she controls, the stronger their vitality and the higher the defensive power of her inner energy. When attacked, she will prioritize consuming the puppets' vitality to resist. In theory, as long as all her puppets are not dead, the shield will not be broken!

However, this skill, which was originally used to save lives, has found a new application in this world under the rule of deducting points for killing people.

Puppetry is essentially a technique that uses spirits to transform and control humans. It can be understood as being possessed by a ghost. Theoretically, this process is reversible. As long as the possessed spirit is removed, the person can return to normal, but will become weaker. Therefore, if someone kills a puppet controlled by her, the points deducted will be counted on the other person.

However, the nature of life sharing is different. After testing, the Corpse King found that if someone attacks her shield and causes the death of the puppet, the deducted points will be shared equally by her and the attacker.

Therefore, when being caught by Luo Jun, the Corpse King acted so tough because she was confident in her defense. Moreover, the Corpse King herself had a treasure that could resist the killing process, so she even took the initiative to provoke, hoping that Ye would hit harder, and it would be best if she could directly deduct points, so that she could escape, and Ye would have to go through the killing process with a life-or-death experience.

But she never expected that Luo Jun's hammer would actually kill all the thousands of puppets she had bound to it. Her internal energy collapsed, and she didn't even have time to trigger the killing program before she was hammered to death!
Luo Jun also had all his points deducted because of the thousands of lives he took, triggering the erasure procedure!

…………

Luo Jun didn't know the connection between these two things, but he didn't have time to think about it. Being high in the sky, he was stunned for a few seconds because of the sudden news. When he reacted, there were only five seconds left in the countdown!

The score has been reset to zero... Can it go back up? Luo Jun looked down at the community on the ground. Zhuge Lan just said that there are two polluters on the fifth floor of that building...

Relying on his powerful eyesight, Luo Jun locked onto the building and swung the hammer in his hand.

Four seconds left!

When he reached a sufficient speed, he suddenly increased his weight, and the huge inertia carried him diving downwards!

Three seconds left!

A distance of hundreds of meters was reached in a flash. Luo Jun smashed through the floor directly and used the hammer to adjust the speed and direction in time, landing accurately in the room!
Two seconds left!

There were two monsters standing in the room. Although they generally retained their human nature, horns, scales, claws and hair could be seen under their loose clothes. They were obviously polluters from the [Wilderness]!
How is [wilderness] related to [supernatural]?

No...looking at the way they are standing straight with dull expressions, they are probably not cooperating, but are being controlled or brainwashed by the Corpse King in some way!

Anyway, these two guys look like they're still alive, so I should get points if I kill them!

"Heaven's Secret Dice!"

"Escaped the erasure procedure!"

"Ding! This event is inevitable and cannot be determined!"

The moment this result appeared, Luo Jun was stunned...

An inevitable event will definitely not be a success, so it must fail?

This means that even if he kills the two people in front of him, it will be useless...

Since the result is already determined, there is no need to take up two more lives. Luo Jun glanced through the broken wall at Ling Xin and Zhuge Lan on the rooftop in the distance, and found that the two women were also looking in his direction.

One second left...

At the last second, Luo Jun pointed at them, then pointed at the two [Wild] polluters who were standing stupidly behind him, and finally waved his hand.

Then, Luo Jun's figure gradually faded and disappeared completely...

…………

When he came to his senses, Luo Jun was in a white room.

Is this the place where the erasure procedure is carried out?
Luo Jun looked around, and suddenly, a few lines of words appeared on the wall.

"You have been eliminated because you violated the relevant rules during the mission. You will now be eliminated."

"The specific content of the erasure procedure will be determined by the contestants who randomly draw a death challenge. After successfully completing the challenge, you can return to the main world and receive an unqualified evaluation for this chaos mission. All rewards already obtained in the chaos mission will be reset to zero."

"During the death challenge, all treasures are prohibited."

"Next, please draw your death challenge."

"If you don't draw a challenge within five minutes, you will be locked into the challenge with the lowest pass rate."

Below this text, a screen appeared with a pull rod next to it.

If you don't draw it yourself, you will be given the highest difficulty, right?
Although Luo Jun was somewhat curious about the content of this challenge with the lowest passing rate, he didn't want to pursue a challenge that would kill him if he lost and give him no reward if he won...

Secret dice!

"Draw a challenge you can pass."

The results show that the conditions are not clear. After all, whether he can pass depends on Luo Jun's performance and cannot be determined by just one dice roll.

After thinking about it, I changed the wording.

"I got a challenge that suits me."

Whether or not he can pass the exam is a conclusion that is determined by many factors and is full of variables. But whether he is suitable or not depends only on Luo Jun's own objective conditions, which can still be determined.

Sure enough, the dice started to roll. Two pairs of dice, one pair was three points, the other pair was two zeros, the full point was 100 points!

(ノ⊙ω⊙)ノ嚯! What a polarized result...

Luo Jun raised his hand and selected 100 points, and a prompt sound rang in his head.

"Ding, the event difficulty is 37 points, the final score is 100 points, the event is a great success!"

A big success? This is a surprise... But seeing that the difficulty is only 37 points, it seems that with Luo Jun's current ability, most challenges are more suitable. It seems that if he draws normally, he will probably pass it.

And now that I have achieved great success, it seems that passing it smoothly should be a sure thing... I should be able to return to the main world alive, but it's a pity that this large-scale recruitment mission, with such a good start and a large amount of rewards, has all been wasted.

Luo Jun walked forward with regret and pulled the lever. The content on the screen quickly rotated up and down. After about a minute, it gradually slowed down and finally stabilized into four words:

"Escape from the Doomsday!"

Then, the screen changed and turned into an animated short film, which began to introduce the content of the challenge together with the pictures.

"After the challenge begins, the contestants will enter a doomsday world that is on the verge of collapse. The contestants can only keep running forward, avoiding various disasters, and finally reach the portal at the end to leave this terrible world."

Various disasters continued to erupt in the screen, including earthquakes, lightning, meteor showers, hurricanes, etc. In the screen, you can see an animated little man running at high speed while avoiding disasters coming from all directions. Behind the little man, Luo Jun saw a black void that swallowed everything like annihilation. If the little man was a little slower, he would be swallowed and killed...

Wow, it’s a doomsday obstacle race... But with Luo Jun’s mobility and powerful internal energy, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to withstand these catastrophic sprints. It is indeed a challenge that suits him well.

At the same time, the prompt sound of the Tianji dice rang in Luo Jun's mind.

"The event was a great success, basic experience value is 37 points, the event severity coefficient is 12 times, and the final experience value is 888 points!"

Twelve times?
The seriousness of this situation really scared Luo Jun. Doesn't this mean that if the event fails, he will die?

It can't be that serious... With his current level, Luo Jun boasted that if he didn't rely on the treasure, the master should not be his opponent. The master claimed that he had gone through many erasure procedures, so there is no reason for him to have a one-third chance of death?

What's more, this erasure procedure is prepared for Class A players. Although his current level is not as good as Yuhua, it is still first-rate among the peak players and he can fully afford to be at the special level. How could he die so easily in the challenge of Class A?

Besides, he decided that the challenge was suitable for him. Even if it was not suitable, he would not necessarily die, right? Did he even skip the challenge process?
No matter how he thought about it, Luo Jun felt that this severity coefficient was not right, but the death challenge would not wait for him to analyze it carefully, and the surrounding environment began to change. Soon, the white wall began to become transparent, the sky appeared burning red, the ground under his feet began to shake, the surrounding scenery was upside down and chaotic, the mountains collapsed, the buildings collapsed, and meteorites fell from the sky, just like a doomsday scene.

The most terrifying thing was that behind him, dozens of meters away, he could see a huge black shadow... It was pure black, without even a ray of light, and it kept expanding, swallowing up everything around it!
That is the void. Once you enter it, there is no possibility of survival!
Luo Jun's mission is to get as far away from it as possible! As for the destination... a beam of light has appeared in his vision, located beyond the distant horizon. That is where the portal is!

He had to pass through the disasters of doomsday and get there before being swallowed by the void!
It's easy to deal with if the goal is clear. Luo Jun watched the color of the wall become lighter and lighter. The construction of the challenge world was constantly improving. At the same time, the midnight mask on his face began to become transparent and was about to be forcibly sealed...

Luo Jun slowly bent down and prepared to start running. When everything was ready, he would rush out at the fastest speed and leave the terrible void far behind.

But at this moment, the world around me suddenly stopped...

Luo Jun was very sure that the process of teleporting him to this doomsday world, although it sounded complicated, actually only took a few seconds. The surrounding scenery was changing rapidly every moment. But just now, when the world was about to be constructed and the challenge was about to begin, everything around him stopped, as if time had stood still!
what happened?

Luo Jun subconsciously stood up and found that he could still move normally, as if he was in a different time and space from everything that was frozen around him.

What exactly is going on?

Luo Jun walked to the almost transparent wall with some curiosity and raised his hand to touch it, but at the moment of contact, the wall suddenly flickered...

The feeling was somewhat similar to the screen flicker and flicker on a computer, but what made up all of this were not mosaic-like colorful spots, but countless strange and chaotic patterns. Although Luo Jun didn't recognize them, he instinctively felt a powerful breath, as if these patterns represented an ancient and mysterious existence.

This is definitely not normal, something is interfering with his death challenge!

Luo Jun was shocked and instinctively took a few steps back, but then he felt something strange on his face. He reached out and found that the midnight mask, which had not completely disappeared, was constantly changing its form. He took it off immediately and found that the mask was also flickering like the wall, and faintly revealed those ancient patterns...

What on earth is this...

Just when Luo Jun was shocked, a chuckle suddenly came from behind him.

"Haha, we finally meet again..."

Luo Jun immediately turned around and found a woman standing behind him.

The woman was tall, wearing a pair of clogs, almost as tall as Luo Jun, or even a little taller. She was wearing a purple robe, and it seemed that she was not wearing any other clothes underneath. The hem of the robe was casually draped, and a pair of long legs were faintly visible. On her slender neck was a perfect face without any flaws. Her long hair was casually scattered, and the crooked robe covered part of her body. She looked naturally lazy...

"who are you?"

Luo Jun's body was filled with condensed energy, and he was extremely vigilant as he asked about the other party's identity. Although the midnight mask in his hand had already given him a vague guess...

"Forgot so quickly?"

The woman tilted her head slightly and chuckled, "According to your calendar, it's only been more than half a year since we last parted, right?"

As she spoke, she hooked her finger at Luo Jun, and Luo Jun immediately felt that the Midnight Mask in his hand began to struggle violently. Then suddenly his hands were empty, and the mask seemed to become ethereal, flying through his fingers and all the way to the woman's hand.

"Have you been wearing it? It seems that you like the souvenir I gave you very much..."

"It's you..." Luo Jun took a deep breath: "Zi Ye..."

How could Luo Jun not remember the first time he set foot in the extraordinary world and the strange existence he encountered!
At that time, he just felt that the underground of Midnight Hotel was very strange and scary, but he didn't have a clear concept. But now it's different...

Regardless of the oppressive feeling that the woman in front of him brought to him, the information about Midnight Mask alone was enough to explain the problem.

What is before your eyes is a "mysterious" and powerful being!
