Only Player

Chapter 36: Eternal Night Boundary (Please read on!!!)
After three minutes of silence, Manager Wang came on stage to deliver a eulogy.

[Although he was the initiator of the memorial service, he had no other intentions, but the person who gave him the psychological hint may not be the same.]

Psychological suggestion... Zhou Yuan was not surprised. It would be strange to say that there was no mastermind behind this memorial service.

He thought silently in his heart: "This memorial service is most likely organized by the Control Bureau. The purpose is obvious, which is to test us fire survivors and capture the Beyonders wanted by terrorist organizations such as the Land of Truth.

The extraordinary people who sneaked in are equivalent to witnesses. If there is no problem with us, they will send a message back and let the major forces give up paying attention to ordinary people like us.

In other words, as long as we successfully pass this level tonight, we, the fire survivors, can clear our suspicion and stay away from the struggles of the extraordinary world, but the question is how to pass this level..."

Time passed by bit by bit, and Manager Wang had not yet finished his eulogy, but Zhou Yuan couldn't help feeling annoyed.

The atmosphere in the farewell hall was so heavy and solemn that it was as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling one's neck, making it hard to breathe.

This feeling of oppression was like a heavy mountain pressing on his chest, making Zhou Yuan feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

At this moment, something strange happened and there was a commotion not far away.

"Ah ah!!!"

A shrill scream was heard, and the crowd where the commotion came from quickly retreated with terrified looks on their faces, as if they had seen something terrible.

Zhou Yuan frowned and looked over, his breathing suddenly stagnated.

A man's skin was melting rapidly, followed by his flesh and bones. In the blink of an eye, even his internal organs melted in a sea of ​​blood.

Then came the second, third, and fourth... The area seemed to have some kind of infection, and people melted one after another like candles, turning into blood all over the ground.

Then, a scarlet figure slowly rose from the surging blood, filled with resentment.

Ah? Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded, because that figure turned out to be the bloody lady who died tragically!

Wasn't she suppressed in the Happy Castle? How did she appear here?

"you……"

The blood lady's resentful eyes passed through the crowd and locked onto Zhou Yuan, letting out a shrill scream:

"You took something that doesn't belong to you, hand it over!"

Fantasy!

At this moment, Zhou Yuan realized that he was in an illusion!
First of all, Blood Lady has always had a sad and sorrowful tone, and her current image is totally inconsistent with it. Secondly, Blood Lady has been suppressed by the Happy Castle, so it is impossible for her to appear here, and it is even more impossible for her to know that the player system is on her. So there is only one possibility left - this is an illusion!
"Using illusions to test us? That makes sense. Ordinary people have no means to resist illusions. Fortunately, I was prepared and wore an illusion awakening talisman."

If he hadn't worn the awakening talisman, he would have been trapped in a fantasy world by now, and in fear, he would have revealed all his secrets.

"But...what should I do now?"

Zhou Yuan's mind raced, and he decided to go along with the performance.

"Ah...ah..."

His expression was extremely terrified, and he stammered, acting as if he was so frightened that he dared not speak a word. He backed away repeatedly, then screamed and ran out desperately.

But the Blood Lady appeared at the exit as if she had teleported, and with a hideous and twisted face, she roared at him: "Hand over the things!"

"what!"

Zhou Yuan lost his balance and fell to the ground. He hurriedly crawled backwards using his hands and feet, but then he lost his balance and fell again.

At this time, Ms. Blood came in front of him, leaned down in a strange manner, and her ferocious face was almost touching Zhou Yuan's face:

"Hand over your things and I will spare your life!"

"Don't come over...don't come over..."

Zhou Yuan was so scared that he curled up into a ball, holding his head and trembling.

·
The farewell hall was in chaos. Everyone collapsed to the ground, their faces pale and their expressions terrified, as if they had witnessed something unspeakable and horrific. Screams, cries, and howls were intertwined, and thick panic and despair filled the air.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you too lazy to even act?" Jiang Wuming looked at the figures still standing in the hall.

"It's so troublesome to act. Why not just speak frankly? After all, we are all here for the same purpose."

The female Beyonder from the Holy Crow Cult wore a black suit and had long black hair. She had a mysterious aura like the night. She smiled and said, "'That thing' is not in the hands of our Holy Crow Cult."

"Not in our Lost Rainbow's hands either."

"MG Foundation +1."

"Omega +1."

"The Mechanicum did not enter the building that night."

"Words are not enough. I suggest that we sign a contract to prevent anyone from telling lies." The Extraordinary Crow Cultist suggested.

"I just prepared it for everyone." Jiang Wuming took out a piece of contract paper with a smile, waiting for this moment.

This piece of paper does not have any supernatural power, but it has the seal of the Control Bureau on it, and its value is much higher than that of abnormal items.

If any force violates the contract, it would be a slap in the face of the Control Bureau. Once the Control Bureau loses face, someone will suffer, so all major forces will consciously abide by the terms of the contract.

Soon, representatives of various major forces signed their respective names on it to indicate that they had not lied.

So, it was that simple, the suspicions of the fire survivors and major forces were ruled out.

"I think it was Nangong Yi who took it."

The Holy Crow Cult's Beyonder spread her hands, "He has been planning for seven years, how could he let someone take 'that thing' away so easily? The way he behaved was definitely an act, just to make us think that 'that thing' was taken away by someone first.

Look how much time we wasted on this. Nangong Yi might have already run away with the things.

By the way, have you found the whereabouts of Nangong Yi and the Red Robe Monks?"

"Nangong Yi's whereabouts remain unknown. As for the Red Robe Monk..."

Jiang Wuming looked at a person lying limply on the ground in the distance and said faintly, "Stop acting."

The man stopped crying instantly, his expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, he slowly got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and sighed: "Is my acting so bad?"

He looked at the magic circle that lit up under his feet and sighed again.

"If I say the things are not with us, can you let me go?"

"wishful thinking."

Chen Guangxi's cold snort answered him.

The next second, the magic circle under the man's feet burst into light and teleported him to the battlefield of high-level extraordinary people.

"And those people from the Land of Truth, stop pretending."

Jiang Wuming whistled, "There's no need to talk about morality when dealing with this kind of evil demon. Let's attack together!"

As soon as the words fell, a deep darkness suddenly descended, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face in the farewell hall. Even with the extraordinary vision, it was impossible to see through the darkness in front of them.

All members of the Town of Truth knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, so how could they not prepare?

This is one of their preparations.

——Eternal Night Barrier!
"Hey...what's going on?"

Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly went dark for no apparent reason, and he immediately got rid of the illusion. Then the entire farewell hall appeared before him in the form of a dark vision.

No, who turned off the lights?
