Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 701 Companion
"Okay, no matter what, from now on, we are companions! At least let's get along well before the fight begins."

Previously, I don't know if Jian Zhiheng's words had an effect, or the armored man had other plans, after a moment of silence, he actually put away his weapon.Although his gaze before turning around was still fierce enough to make the demon youth's scalp tingle.

Then, the house entered the calm before the storm.The ten people sat in the allocated wooden chairs and formed a circle, which seemed a bit leisurely like a tea party.If someone who doesn't know the truth sees it, they may really think that the atmosphere here is so harmonious.

"To be able to meet is to be destined, how about we introduce ourselves?" Naturally, the situation has evolved to this day, all thanks to Bai Yun's needles and threads, "Let's start with me. I am Bai Yun, and I just started working as a bounty hunter , I came here because of the mission I received from the Mercenary Union, how about everyone?"

The audience fell into a brief silence.It's no wonder that although most of the people here are spiritual practitioners and their minds are more stable than ordinary people, it is still difficult for them to form a good relationship with a group of "potential enemies" who will fight to the death tomorrow.What's more, if you reveal your background frankly, you may also expose your shortcomings, which is very unfavorable for tomorrow's battle——

After another long while, no one answered, and Bai Yun's delicate willow eyebrows drooped slightly.Feng Qiu couldn't bear to see his girlfriend being cold, so he took the initiative to take over: "Feng Qiu, bounty hunter." Looking around, he put his arms around Bai Yun again, and added: "It's Yun'er's fiancé."

Ye Shuo secretly smiled wryly, please, you don't need to show your affection at such a time... Under the expectant gaze of the two, he also simply answered: "Ye Shuo, casual cultivator."

"Although it's not necessary, I'd better tell you." The beautiful man of the monster race leaned on the recliner, gently brushing his long hair, "Prince of the Silver Fox Clan, Duanmuzhi. Our Silver Fox Clan is a gorgeous woman who can freely travel through time." Race, if it is a real treasure, it should belong to our clan."

People have the heart of following the crowd, and after the introduction of the first four people, the rest of the people seemed to relax a lot.The demon youth summoned up his courage and said: "My name is Xi Hanjun. I am... everyone already knows my identity. I came here this time because I have never been taken seriously, so this time, I also want to follow Princess Guanxuan." His Royal Highness Shang Yan, I hope to help them, so as to get the approval of the elders of the clan..."

His gaze was evasive, but he still didn't dare to lift it completely.At the end, the voice became softer and softer, "Although, His Highness Shang Yan didn't welcome me from the beginning..."

"Demon Race, you must die!" The voice of the armored man beside him was as cold as ice.

Duanmuzhi, a beautiful boy from the Yao clan, leaned back in his chair, and glanced at him contemptuously from the corner of his eye: "You're annoying, so let's call you 'Devil Death'. Next."

This weird title made the man in armor speechless for a while.Just when everyone thought he would not speak again, there was a muffled voice from under the drooping hood: "...the sword will not return."

"Don't blame me for not saying my ugly words first, you actually trust the demons, you will only kill yourself." Jian Bugui then added coldly, this was the first time everyone heard him say such a long sentence.

Xi Hanjun shrank back into the chair again, as cowardly as if he wanted to turn into a piece of sawdust in the chair, and his hands hanging on his knees couldn't stop shaking.

The petite and exquisite girl said timidly: "I...my name is Yuning, and I am a white rabbit monster. Although I have eaten the Transformation Pill, maybe because of my lack of skill, my ears are often exposed..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her two long and pointed ears pricked up with a "swish" just as the occasion meant.Yu Ning raised his hands to hold his ears in a panic, and his cheeks blushed silently.

"I came here because I have a good sister. Her boyfriend was eroded by the force of time not long ago, so... I hope I can help my sister a little..."

Yu Ning's voice was very thin, slightly elevated due to panic, with swaying tremors, matched with her weak appearance, she was quite pitiful.

"Ah, after I came here, I was too scared all the time, so I forgot to contact my sister..." Yu Ning seemed to think of something, quickly took out the jade slip, and after connecting on the other side, said hurriedly: "Sister, I We have arrived at the clock tower of time, don't worry, I will definitely get the treasure of time...!"

The tone from the other side was a bit strange: "Hey... I said you, but you actually ran away?"

Yu Ning nodded again and again, and after a moment of silence on the other side, a burst of shrill laughter suddenly broke out.

"Sure enough, you are still so easy to deceive! Hahahahaha, I burst into tears from laughing! All of you have lost, so hurry up and pay the money obediently..."

Holding the jade slips in his hands, Yu Ning was dumbfounded on the spot.With such a strange tone and laughter, is this really the gentle and kind sister she knew before, who always took care of herself patiently?
There was a burst of voices on the opposite side, and a few rude curses could be vaguely heard, as if they were complaining about why Yu Ning was so stupid and caused them to lose money in the bet.Amid the crisp jingling of Lingshi, the voice of "sister" rang out again.

"Yuning, you don't have to come back in the future, sister, when I see these money, it will be like seeing you—"

Yuning's wide-open eyes gradually filled with tears, and the tears slid down her cheeks again, reflecting a blur in front of her eyes: "Why...how could this be..." The jade slip slipped from between her weak fingers, He fell to the floor, but he could still faintly hear the wanton laughter from the opposite side.

Have I... been deceived?Just because of a bet and a lie made by my sister and others, I was tricked into this dangerous place and forced to participate in the next life-gambling game.I... I might really die... why...

The laughter in the jade slip suddenly stopped, and at the same time, a pair of warm hands covered the back of his trembling hands.

"Yuning, it's okay, we will definitely protect you." Bai Yun stared at her seriously, "We all have to survive this 'game' together!"

Yu Ning raised his eyes timidly.Can she be trusted?Really can?When my sister used to talk to me, she was always as gentle as her, but just now, I was deceived... Anyway, she just wanted to calm me down temporarily, and kill me after I let down my vigilance, Moreover, she is still human...

Thinking of this, Yu Ning's palm shrank back immediately, Bai Yun thought she was trembling unconsciously in a panic, and squeezed her even harder.Yu Ning stared at the hands they held, and then slowly moved his gaze upwards.And what she came into contact with was a pair of calm and gentle eyes like blue waves.The helplessness and sadness after the steep betrayal seemed to gradually melt away under the comfort of still water.

That's right... Although I was betrayed by my sister, there are still more good people in this world, right?Look at what I was thinking just now... She really wanted to help me. In this case, I can only trust her, right?

"Hey, the atmosphere is so heavy, so it's up to me next." Jian Zhiheng briefly moved his limbs in the chair, "As I said just now, my name is Jian Zhiheng, and Ah Duan and I are both fresh graduates of Tiansheng Academy. The main force of the former school's sports team. Both of us planned to enter Tiangongmen, so we didn't look for a job for the time being. After hearing about the clock tower of time, we just wanted to explore and have fun. Who knew we would encounter such a thing. "

The melancholy young man beside him caught his gaze, and just said two words coldly: "Guan Lin." He still didn't look at anyone, and his voice was so indifferent that he seemed to be wandering alone in a different space.Ye Shuo and the others had long heard Jian Zhiheng call him "A Lin", and it took a while to realize that he was reporting his name.

The fat man named Pang Zuo who sat at the end listened quietly, and suddenly let out a long sigh: "Tiansheng... that's great. I also wanted to take the exam for Tiansheng before, but it's a pity that I failed. Such a high-level college, If you don't have a wealth background, the admission score will be too high..."

"Heavenly Saint?" Ye Shuo frowned suspiciously.

"Why, you don't know," Pang Zuo showed an exaggerated looking up expression, "Tiansheng College in Tiansheng Kingdom is the most advanced college in the entire Spirit World!"

"Speaking of which, hasn't the legendary school bully in the third grade finished his studies yet?" Jian Zhiheng seemed to get excited when someone talked about his alma mater. He sat up straight and asked beside him.

Guan Lin gave a faint "hmm", and showed a rare interest: "Do you know him?"

Jian Zhiheng smiled: "When I was in the school sports team, I had a few brief contacts with him. He is a very interesting guy. His strength can be said to be no less than that of some tutors, but the culture class is a mess, and he fails every year. Speaking of it Although I am very curious, how did someone like him get into the Heavenly Sage in the first place..."

Seeing that the two people in front of them were really going to bring the topic to an ordinary dormitory discussion, Feng Qiu had no choice but to interrupt them: "Now is not the time for you to reminisce about your college life? Should we discuss how to get rid of it?" This dire situation? After all, the 'game' could start at any time!"

Bai Yun was the first to stand up, with a resolute expression: "I will never fight each other with everyone! I think, let's promise each other here first, and we will never participate in the 'game' tomorrow!"

Duanmuzhi glanced at her lazily: "Miss, you can't do that."

"Since the rule of the game is to kill until the last person is left, someone will definitely betray you halfway. If you still regard the traitor as your companion, you can imagine what will happen to you, right?"

Although this sentence is cruel, it is also extremely realistic.Due to the "self-introduction" just now, many people who had already put down their guard for a while now regained their guard, looking at others with the eyes of an enemy.

Bai Yun said anxiously: "Then...at least the people in this room promise each other that they will never kill each other, okay? Because...haven't everyone introduced themselves? We can be companions!"

Duanmuzhi sighed, and squinted at her with a "children can't be taught" look: "Go ahead if you want to do that kind of boring thing. I will leave with you tomorrow." He brushed his long hair lightly again After that, he walked towards his own big bed.

The rest of the people looked at each other, Jian Bugui was the second to stand up and leave, and just like the previous trend of following the crowd, the remaining people left one by one.In the end, besides Bai Yun, only Ye Shuo, Feng Qiu and Yuning were left.

"Why...how is this..." Bai Yun lowered her head in frustration.I want to unite everyone, but I still can't do it...?
Meanwhile, in the fourth room.

There was a dead body lying on the ground, and blood pooled on its side.The crowd gathered around him, tongue-tied, and after a while, they looked at the girl who was standing alone not far away, holding a long sword, with a beautiful face but a frosty mask, with eyes mixed with surprise and fear.

"Hey, the rules say that the fight will start tomorrow!" Someone shouted tremblingly.

The girl glanced back with a cold gaze: "But the rules didn't say that you can't reduce your competitors starting tonight." With a flick of her long hair, she walked away, and Sen Han's voice came coldly, "Cowards like this , even if you stay, it will only get in the way."

The people in the same place stared at the corpse for a while, and suddenly someone screamed: "I said... If we want to reduce competitors, shouldn't we first deal with this terrifying woman who can kill without changing her face?"

If you don't get rid of her first, who knows how many people will die by her sword just this night?In this case, the most important thing is to be unanimous... Everyone nodded in their hearts, looked at the girl's back, and quietly pressed the weapons in their hands.

The girl's footsteps actually paused for a moment, she turned around, and walked over step by step, her eyes were cold and her smile was full of sarcasm: "You have been practicing so far, don't tell me that you have never killed anyone?"

Under the oppression of her arrogance, the previous claimant trembled a little, but thinking that the other party was the public enemy in this room, his confidence suddenly became stronger, and he shouted with a straight neck: "I... I just didn't kill you. Extraordinary! Why do you have to kill people to become a strong person?"

The girl's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded approvingly: "Oh, that's your freedom, but..."

With a flash of sword light, another corpse fell down, with a glaring bloodstain on its neck.

"If you don't kill people, you are waiting to be killed by others!" The girl looked down at the dead man with wide eyes, and continued her unfinished sentence coldly.

"Damn it, who is that woman?" After the girl turned and left, no one dared to whisper.Previously, the opponent's moves were extremely fast, and they were killed in one move, so they had no time to react.Everyone thought to themselves, if the sword was aimed at them, they might not be sure to dodge it.

Everyone shook their heads, they just entered this room by chance, and they didn't know where the other people came from.After a while, a girl with medium-length curly hair said softly, "She is the daughter of the leader of the Xiefeng Sect, and also my senior sister, Jiang Caini."

"Xiefengjiao..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, "I said this is the power under the jurisdiction of Jiuyou Palace?"

"With such a background, no wonder you are so domineering..."

Although the room has been expanded to eight people, there is no independent bedroom, and eight beds are arranged in pairs in the hall.Although everyone lowered their voices earlier, Jiang Caini still heard every word, and she turned her head beside the bed, squinting proudly at the girl who spoke.

"You have a lot of mouth, girl. Is it a fellow junior sister? What's your name?"

The girl bit her lip and responded softly: "Jin Siqi."

Jiang Caini snorted coldly: "I thought your name was Canary before, and I thought your parents really thought about it."

There was another awkward silence in the room.There was only one young man who did not participate in the previous chaos. He sat alone in a corner with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his nose and a bookish face, like a standard model student in the academy.Fiddling with the jade slips in his hand, he pushed the glasses casually, and a sharp dark light reflected from the lenses.
