Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 720 Outside the rules
Hearing the other party's nonsensical question, Ye Shuo was slightly taken aback, and replied, "No, why?"

The middle-aged man lowered his voice mysteriously: "That's it... You should have noticed that every time the 'game' starts, there will be a reminder of the number of remaining people?"

Ye Shuo nodded: "Well, it's 27 people, right?" As he said this, he suddenly realized something: "Ah, you said 'every time', so you also recovered your memory?"

The middle-aged man lowered his voice: "Don't worry about so many... The two dead people, I know they all came out of our room. But there is one more..." Glancing at the person beside him, "I asked this one, he is the person in the fifth room, and he also said that they have not killed anyone before. As for the first two rooms can be excluded, now you are left with the third room."

"It's true that we haven't killed anyone!" Ye Shuo also became impatient, "What... are you trying to explain?"

From the second reincarnation, Ye Shuo didn't pay much attention to the remaining number of people reported each time.Since there is reincarnation, it means that no matter how many people die, they will be resurrected again. This number is meaningless.In contrast, he chose to spend his time on "exploration" and "change".

The middle-aged man finally began to lose his temper: "But, no matter how you think about it, it's weird, right? Since everyone has been teleported at the beginning of the game, even if you want to do it, it can't happen so quickly, so the only one The only possibility is that he died last night!"

"So... so what?" Ye Shuo was confused by him.

Seeing that the other party was still dumbfounded, the middle-aged man was full of helplessness, so he could only speak clearly: "Don't you understand? There are only two dead people who can be confirmed now, who is the remaining one? Did you say that he was excluded from the competition from the beginning? Why can he get such preferential treatment? Is he the organizer, or is he an undercover agent sent to us by the organizer?!"

After saying these many words in succession, the middle-aged man took a breath and couldn't help but glared at Ye Shuo fiercely.I don't know if he really has such a low IQ, or if he is deliberately pretending to be stupid to get his information.When he talked about it with the people in the fifth room just now, they quickly formed a resonance!
"In short, the people who died last night, just went back to the room to check, and their bodies have disappeared. In this reincarnation, we will try our best to confirm the identities of other people. If you want to see people, if you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies , we must not leave a transparent person among us! I will definitely stop that Jiang Caini from doing it again next time!"

Glancing at the companion beside him, the middle-aged man continued to conclude: "The three of us have an agreement now. In the next reincarnation, don't kill people the night before, and pay attention to it the next day." Check out the report on the remaining number of people! See if it will return to normal, or it will still be 29 people!"

This short-term temporary alliance has been formed at this point.After the two left, Ye Shuo and the others discussed again, subconsciously thinking of one person.

If anyone was really excluded from the rules from the very beginning, it would most likely be Duanmuzhi!So every "game", he never participated in it.

No... But if this is the case, after everyone fights each other and decides the final winner, they must be guarded by the [remaining 1 person] protection, and Duanmuzhi will use his identity as a transparent person to secretly launch a sneak attack... Then this In this game, there can be no winner from the very beginning...

But wait, what's the point of doing that?Even if the organizer really wanted to kill them all here, why did they leave this endless cycle?If Duanmuzhi is really the organizer, he will accompany them to get stuck here endlessly. What is the difference between him and an ordinary "competitor"?Or maybe it was because the middle-aged man was too nervous just now, which caused them to become suspicious?
"By the way, Mr. Xi Han, in the last reincarnation you said you had something to show me, what was it?" Duanmuzhi's question, even if he wanted to break his head now, there would be no answer, Ye Shuo turned to think of another thing.

Last time, Xi Hanjun took him back to the room because he found a clue to unravel reincarnation, but Zhong Shangyan had set a trap in the room in advance, which made the exploration halfway.Instead of continuing to be obsessed with those groundless things, it is better to look at Xi Hanjun's discovery first, maybe that is the real key to solving the puzzle!

For Xi Hanjun, at first Ye Shuo would have some resistance because of his status as a demon, but after he sacrificed his life to save him in the last reincarnation, Ye Shuo really regarded him as a good brother who can be trusted to life and death.He is really different from someone like Zhong Shangyan!

Hearing Ye Shuo's question, Xi Hanjun nodded quickly: "Everyone come with me."

When he came to the third room again, Ye Shuo had a hard time and gained a lot of wisdom. First, he used the expertise of the formation master to check carefully that there were no traps in the room, and then motioned for everyone to enter.

Without too much delay, Xi Hanjun went straight to the window sill and turned the potted plant slightly: "This is it. Everyone, take a close look at this potted plant."

There were five leaves hanging on the bare branches, and three were lying quietly in the soil at the bottom of the pot.Other than that, nothing unusual.

"Is there something wrong?" Ye Shuo looked at the potted plants over and over again, and finally shrugged.He is a layman to plants, and he doesn't even know the flower language that girls like to pay attention to most.Simply stop wasting brain cells, and just wait for Xi Hanjun to explain.

Next, Xi Hanjun completely recounted what he had said to Zhong Shangyan at the beginning.It just changed the total number of reincarnations from seven to eight.

There should have been four leaves hanging on the branch of the potted plant.Zhong Shangyan cast a spell on it, and sprinkled the special "Phantom Fragrance Konjac" made by the demons in the basin.

This substance emits a special fragrance, which floats in the air, and it is not easy to detect when inhaled, but a special hallucination will appear through it.As for the illusion, it all depends on the caster's spell. It's like seeing four leaves as five.Sometimes the smaller the gimmick, the easier it is to be unguarded.

In each room, Zhong Shangyan left the same arrangement in the potted plants, but the number of leaves was different.This is to confuse the number of reincarnations, so that even if some people are lucky enough to regain consciousness and notice the secrets in the potted plants, it is difficult to see through the real mystery.

After Xi Hanjun’s explanation came to an end, Feng Qiu pondered for a long time, then nodded: “It is indeed possible. During the first reincarnation, didn’t that piece of paper come out of the potted plant? If there were any Ye Zi, will definitely notice!"

Pressing Ye Shuo's hand that was habitually grabbing his scalp, he continued: "Besides, after reincarnation, everything will return to its original state, including our injuries, but this potted plant will change, and this alone can explain the problem! "

Xi Hanjun asked curiously, "What piece of paper?"

After Feng Qiu's explanation, I learned that the piece of paper originally recorded the name of the person who could not find the room, and no matter whether the box was ticked or not, I still had to insert the piece of paper back into the potted plant. There is only a piece of bare soil in the pot, which anyone can see clearly.It's just that when they don't know it, no one may pay more attention.

That's it, this is another reminder.Xi Hanjun nodded secretly.Remind everyone to pay attention to this potted plant and the fact that there are no leaves in the pot.But if this reminder is repeated over and over again, the addition of leaves will become very obvious to those who already have the memory... So this procedure is only once.

However, it was because the few of us failed to find the room that the names were recorded on the piece of paper, which served as a reminder to the people in the room. How could the organizer predict this?In other words, what if everyone had already found a room?
I'm afraid it's just one or more differences... After thinking about it for a while, Xi Hanjun's eyes suddenly brightened.If Duanmuzhi is really a person "outside the rules", he was meant to exist as a reminder from the beginning, that is to say, no matter how many of us are, the piece of paper will definitely appear... This inference should not be possible Wrong, sure enough, he is becoming more and more suspicious...

"Although we don't know what to do yet, we must work hard in the direction of allowing everyone to recover their memories!" Ye Shuo clenched his fists after learning the win-win method of "everyone wakes up and it ends". , raised his arms, and appealed loudly to the crowd.

Sure enough, all he could think of was something of this level... Xi Hanjun secretly shook his head.But that's okay, it's because you have such thoughts that you perfectly stepped into Zhong Shangyan's trap, or rather...my trap.

"Then... what about Pang Zuo?" After several people reached a consensus, Feng Qiu brought up another troublesome figure.

"Pang Zuo..." Hearing this name again, Ye Shuo felt his temples swell.This fat man is like a lingering curse. It has been entangled with him since the first round. He didn't stay or kill him. The three deaths were all caused by him.Speaking of him now, I really want to make myself helpless.

"Then why not, let's make peace with him!" After a long silence, Bai Yun suggested.

"I believe that no one is born a bad person. Even Pang Zuo, he just wants to live. If we discuss it with him, maybe we can make him a companion!"

Even the kindest Bai Yun had a slight hesitation in her voice at this time, obviously she didn't dare to be sure about whether she could persuade Pang Zuo.

Ye Shuo raised his forehead: "I have reservations about this..." He always felt that the consequence of doing so would be that Pang Zuo pretended to repent, but turned his face again at the last moment, and reached the death ending 4: Jiangshan is easy to change, but nature is difficult shift.

"But next, let's use Duanmuzhi's method first to test who has recovered their memory!"

……

In front of a utility room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, the closed door was slowly pushed open.Yu Ning, who was curled up in the corner, raised his head tremblingly, and shrank back towards the piled wooden boxes.

A ray of light shot through the crack of the door, and was immediately blocked by the figure that followed it.

"That's great...it turns out that the first person I met was you!" Then there was a surprise call.

"I'm so scared by myself, can you go with me?" The girl looked at her pitifully, clasped her hands lightly in front of her chest, and made a pleading gesture.

"……Sorry, can not!"

As soon as the words fell, a dagger appeared in Yu Ning's hand, and it stabbed fiercely into the girl's heart.

"I'm sorry, I always feel that if I don't kill you, I will die myself..." Looking at the girl's body that fell to the ground, Yu Ning put his hands on his chest and made his final confession to her.

Although she didn't know why she had such a premonition, the premonition was so real, and when she faced the girl again, she also had an unreasonable disgust, even killing... the first time she killed someone, she would Not feeling much guilt.

Silently despising such a cold-blooded self in her heart, then Yuning hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply to the girl's body, and then quickly ran out of the utility room.

Standing at the entrance of the two-column corridor, Yu Jing quietly stared at the deep corridor.That direction was exactly the direction where she and the girl encountered the enshrined in the Divine Fire Hall and were killed three times.Although she has no previous memories, there is still a subconscious resistance in her heart.

"Over there... there is always a bad feeling. Let's change the direction."

Yu Ning bit her lip and ran to another corridor resolutely.

In the darkness, she saw a figure far ahead.Leaning against the wall, he was dressed luxuriously, with fluffy fur on his shoulders, and long aqua blue hair hanging down straight down.When he heard the sound of footsteps, he straightened up slowly, turned his head slightly, and showed her a deep smile, which was all enchanting.

"You came later than I thought."

Yu Ning clenched his hands in his sleeves, and took two steps back in fear.She recognized this person...it was Duanmuzhi who accused Ye Shuo in the room last night.Although he didn't show any hostility towards him last night... But in such an environment, who is not a potential enemy?
"Are you ready?" Duanmuzhi still had that enchanting smile on his face, advancing step by step, as if he didn't notice her panic at all, "Do you want to be a predator, or continue to be weak, and still be robbed?" who?"

Yu Ning plucked up his courage and shook his head vigorously: "I don't understand these things, I just want to live a good life, and I want to get out of here!"

In Duanmuzhi's smile, there was a moment of gloom, "Even if you live by stepping on other people's corpses, do you still have the awareness?"

Yu Ning hesitated, but under Duanmuzhi's gaze, for some reason, her gaze became firmer, and then she nodded heavily: "En!"

It seemed to be in a nightmare, as if he had died many times.Although I can't remember the specific details, the feeling of death is really painful and sad... I don't want to experience it anymore.If I have to die, or other people die... then let others die!
Duanmuzhi was already standing in front of her at this moment, and his decision to Yuning was only as expected: "Very good, then let me help you—"

A cloud of black air ignited in his hands, cold and evil, like the flames of hell.The next moment, under Yuning's fearful but still firm gaze, Duanmuzhi sent his arm away, pushing the cloud of black air straight into her chest!
At this moment, Yu Ning's whole body was wrapped in black mist, and the originally weak and thin monster energy also continued to rise amidst the increase in black mist.The slender fingers turned into sharp claws, strange blood streaks scattered on his forehead, and his long hair flew up behind his head, fluttering without wind.A streak of black air flashed across the eyes, and then traces of blood quietly emerged, quickly turning those clear eyes into a hideous blood red.
