The counterattack of the villains

When Zhan Lan and his party returned to the vicinity of Shibuya Station, they suddenly heard a shout coming from the street to the north.

Everyone looked in the direction of the shouts, and saw three young men running towards the street in the north, waving their arms and shouting "wait a minute" and the like.

The three young men were about the same age, all about 23 or [-] years old.

One of them was a young man with medium-length hair, very handsome, wearing a light green T-shirt, a pair of casual shorts, and a pair of sandals on his feet.

The other young man, who looked similar to the gangster among the newcomers of the Zhongzhou team, had dyed yellow hair, a more robust physique, and was also the tallest of the three.

The last young man had a striped shirt on his upper body, a pair of trousers on his lower body, and a pair of leather shoes on his feet. He looked like a company employee.

After seeing the descriptions of the three people, Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu looked at each other and smiled. These three people were the male protagonist Arisu Ryohei and his two young children, Sekawa Chota and Kabu Daikichi.

After the three of them ran close to the crowd, seeing Anuo's huge size, they couldn't help but secretly marveled, and at the same time felt a little apprehensive.

The handsome Arisu Ryohei spoke first, "Hello, do you know what happened here? Where did everyone go?"

Zhan Lan pretended to be strange and asked, "Why don't you know what's going on?"

Arisu Ryohei hurriedly said: "I don't know. When we were going to the toilet at the subway station, the power suddenly went out. When we came out, we found that people had disappeared."

Zhan Lan thought for a while and asked back, "Do you know what parallel space is?"

Hearing Zhan Lan's words, the three of Arisu Ryohei looked at each other, and their eyes widened.

The yellow-haired young man Kabe Daikichi said with a look of astonishment on his face: "You don't mean to say that we have entered a parallel space, do you?"

Zhan Lan smiled and said, "Besides this reason, what else could make so many people disappear in just a few minutes?"

"This……"

The three were speechless, and Arisu Ryohei asked again: "You seem to know this world very well, can you tell us about the situation in this world?"

Zhan Lan said indifferently: "Of course, this world is called the Land of the Dying."

"The country of the dying? What a strange name." Arisu Ryohei carried forward the style of asking if he didn't understand, and said, "Why is it called this name?"

Zhan Lan said: "Because in this world, only those who are dying have the opportunity to enter."

"Nani?" Sekawa Zhang said amusedly: "You don't mean to say that the three of us are dying, so we came here?"

Seeing this, Zhan Lan said with a half-smile: "Why, don't you believe me?"

Mrs. Sekawa spread her hands innocently and said, "But we are living well, we just went to the bathroom just now, how could we be dying all of a sudden?"

Zhan Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly pointed to Xiao Honglu and said, "You can ask this little brother, he also just entered."

The three of them immediately looked at Xiao Honglu, and the kid secretly rolled his eyes, but said without any strange expression on his face: "Just now I was near here, but I was not in the center, so I saw what happened with my own eyes."

"Just now, a large meteorite suddenly fell from the sky and landed near Shibuya Station, destroying the entire area."

"The three of you and I were lucky enough to not die on the spot, so we had the opportunity to come here."

The three of them were stunned, it was really what Xiao Honglu said, it was a bit too ridiculous.

Suddenly Sekawa seemed to think of something, his complexion changed, and he exclaimed to Arisu Ryohei and Kabe Daikichi: "Arisu, Kabe, do you still remember the fireworks we saw?"

"Fireworks?" Kabe Daikichi asked confusedly, "What happened to the fireworks?"

Sekawa Zhangtai said with an ugly face: "Fireworks are usually prohibited in the urban area, and they are only allowed during the Sumida River fireworks show."

"And the fireworks are set off at night. Who would set off fireworks in broad daylight? What's more, today is just an ordinary day, not a special day."

Kabu Daikichi said impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Arisu Ryohei suddenly shouted: "I understand Mrs. Zhang's meaning, you want to say, those are not fireworks at all?"

Mrs. Sekawa nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, those are not fireworks, but the fireworks produced by the friction between the meteorite and the atmosphere after it entered the atmosphere."

"So, what this little brother said is probably true. We really encountered a meteorite attack."

Arisu Ryohei said in a daze: "In other words, we in the real world are really dying, we... are dying."

Zhan Lan interjected, "That's the truth. This world is a chance given to us by the gods, a chance to live."

"If we can survive in this world and complete all the games, then we in the real world can survive the dangerous period."

"If we die in this world, we in the real world will die too."

"Game?" When Arisu Ryohei heard these two words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "What kind of game?"

Zhan Lan said: "All kinds of games, escape games, puzzle solving games, action games, any game you can think of, you can meet it here."

"But no matter what game, there is the most basic point, that is...failure is death."

Zhan Lan did not explain in detail about the game mode of Heihongmeifang. She did not want to change too much the plot, which would increase the difficulty of the plot.

The three of them were shocked, and fear flashed in their eyes.

Mrs. Sekawa asked Zhan Lan: "Excuse me, how many games do we need to complete before we can leave here?"

Zhan Lan said: "52 games, each game corresponds to a poker card, divided into two stages."

"The first stage corresponds to the number card, and the size of the number also represents the difficulty. The larger the number, the higher the difficulty. After completion, you can get the number of visa days corresponding to the number."

"The so-called visa days represent the number of days you can survive safely in this world."

"Once the visa expires, you have not gone to the next game and get a new visa, and you will be obliterated by this world."

"The second stage is the JQK head card. When a person enters the Kingdom of the Dying and clears all 52 games, he can choose to leave the Kingdom of the Dying and return to the real world."

"Then you can wake up in the real world, get out of the danger zone, and go on living."

After listening to Zhan Lan's explanation, the hearts of the three secretly shivered.

There is even such a thing as a visa, which prevents people who enter the Land of the Dying from paddling and waiting for others to beat the game, and win directly.

The Kingdom of the Dying is forcing everyone to participate in the game and fight for a chance to survive.

Arisu Ryohei glanced at the crowd, and asked Zhan Lan: "Since you know so much news, you must have been here for a long time, right?"

Zhan Lan shook her head and said, "It's not that long, but for those of you who have just entered, you can be considered senior. All the news I know comes from 'citizens'."

Hearing another new term, Arisu Ryohei hurriedly asked, "What is a citizen?"

Zhan Lan said: "When all the games are cleared, the Dying Kingdom will ask all players if they want to leave. Those who choose to leave will survive in the real world."

"But there are also some people who choose to stay because they are completely disappointed with the real world, can't find the meaning of living, or simply like the excitement of the Kingdom of the Dying."

"These people who choose to stay will become citizens of the dying country, and most of them in the real world will become vegetative."

"These citizens often appear in some games as game bosses to fight against players like us."

"Our news is obtained from the mouth of a citizen who has been defeated by us."

"During that game, the opponent felt sorry for me and knew that he was likely to lose, so he told me the news before the final confrontation."

Hearing that Zhan Lan had started the infinite flickering mode, all the team members were a little amused.

However, they are all professionally trained, no matter how funny they are, they will never laugh, and they will definitely be able to hold back.

Knowing about everything that should be understood, Arisu Ryohei finally asked: "Can we act together with you?"

"I am quite talented in all kinds of games. In the real world, I am a game nerd."

"Mrs. Zhang has read a lot of books. She is very knowledgeable and understands many things."

"The skill in the buttocks is very good, and it will definitely play an important role in confrontation games. We will not become a burden."

Zhan Lan shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, we can't agree to this, because in some games, players will face the situation of killing each other."

"Sometimes, in order to survive, I even betrayed my partner, so if we don't trust someone absolutely, we won't be together."

Hearing this, both Arisu Ryohei and Sekawa Chota turned pale.

Kabu Daikichi crossed the others with his fingers unconvinced, and said, "What about them? Why can you trust them?"

The corners of Zhan Lan's mouth were slightly bent, and said: "The three of you should be very good friends in the real world, and you can absolutely trust each other, right?"

"Our situation is the same as yours. They are all my relatives and friends in the real world."

The three were speechless, but the other party's words were very clear. In this world, unless you are someone you absolutely trust, it is absolutely impossible to make friends easily.

Zhan Lan secretly gave Zheng Zha a wink when the three of them were in a state of confusion.

The tacit understanding for a long time made Zheng Zha understand her meaning in an instant.

She had told them about the protagonist's first game before, it was a game that could be cleared by all members, so they would definitely play this game.

But the subsequent games are full of uncertainty, so they will never hang out with the protagonist again.

Now Zhan Lan said nothing, so as to cut off their thoughts, so that the protagonist would not stick to them all the time.

So if you want to play the protagonist's game, and then get rid of the protagonist, you need a "smoothing" person to appear.

Zheng Zha, who thought about this for a moment, coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

He said to Zhan Lan: "Xiao Lan, if we hadn't been accompanied by a senior person when we first entered, I'm afraid we would have died for no reason."

"Since the three of them can meet us, it can be regarded as fate, why don't we take them along."

"After a game, they must have entered the state, and they will live and die in peace, what do you think?"

When Arisu Ryohei and the other three heard his words, Qi Qi's eyes lit up, and they looked at him with gratitude.

But they also saw that the leader of this small group was Zhan Lan, a woman, so they all looked at Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan folded her arms around her chest, pretending to bow her head in thought for a moment, and under the hopeful eyes of the three, she nodded and said, "Okay, but it's just this one game, and after one game, we'll go our separate ways."

The three were overjoyed, Sekawa Zhang Tai repeatedly bowed and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Zhan Lan turned her head and looked around, looked at a coffee shop next to the subway station and said, "There should be a game field near here. Let's rest there first, and wait for the game time to start."

Everyone had no objection, and immediately a group of people walked over to the coffee shop.

Arisu Ryohei asked Zhan Lan: "When does the game usually start?"

Zhan Lan said: "Before midnight, there is still some time to rest. If you have anything to do, just go and come back before midnight."

At this time, it was past five o'clock in the evening, and there were still five or six hours before the game started, so a nap was enough.

Together, the three of them came in at noon and then ran around, returning home or work to check the situation. They haven't eaten anything yet, so the three of them decided to go to a nearby restaurant to get something to eat.

After the Zhongzhou team arrived at the coffee shop, Zhan Lan asked Xiao Honglu to continue telling everyone about the games that had appeared, while she went straight to the back kitchen.

She found some materials and made some hand-ground coffee by herself.

In this way, everyone drank coffee while listening to Xiao Honglu's explanation of the game.

When the sky darkened, Xiao Honglu talked about the same thing, and the three of Arisu Ryohei also had enough to eat and drink, and returned to the coffee shop.

As time went by, the sky became darker and darker. There was no light in the whole city, and it was pitch black outside.

The moment the light comes on, that's when the game starts to sign up.

There is a sofa in the coffee shop, and everyone is taking a nap on the sofa, and Zhao Yingkong keeps an eye on the time.

When the time came to 11:30 midnight, the outside suddenly brightened.

Zhao Yingkong immediately woke up everyone, and Zhan Lan got up and said, "The registration for the game has started, let's go."

Everyone walked out of the coffee shop and looked in the direction of the light source. It was a building whose exterior walls were all glass.

What surprised Ryohei Arisu and the others was that it was obviously just ordinary tempered glass, not a screen like LED, but it was brightly lit.

And on the screen formed by the glass exterior wall of the building, the words "Welcome players, the game is about to start" are displayed.

After 1 minute, the picture on the screen turned into an arrow, and the words "Please go this way to the game venue" are displayed under the arrow.

"Walk."

Everyone followed the directions of the arrows and ran all the way to the game venue.

Ten minutes later, they came to a building whose outer wall was covered with small orange light bulbs.

There are LED signboard lights on the top of the building, but the signboard has the words "Game Building" and a plum blossom logo underneath.

This means that this building is a plum game.
