Chapter 5 Being a stranger in a foreign land
"First, when you held the dagger and attacked me, you accidentally saw a trace of red tattoo on your cuffs. Although it was only a little bit, it was quite consistent with the one on my hand, regardless of position or color; secondly, it was the dagger in your hand!"
"My dagger?" The mixed-race beauty subconsciously raised her hand, looked at it carefully, and asked in confusion: "What's special? You won't point to its attributes, right? But only the owner can see the attributes above clearly..."
"Blood-sucking dagger: no-level weapon, can be upgraded, absorbing blood from some wounds, and accelerating the opponent's bleeding speed. The reincarnation point is worth 450 points."
"How did you know?"
"It's very simple, because I've seen it just a few minutes ago." Yun Qi smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I almost chose this dagger at the beginning, but I have not received professional military training and I don't know much about dagger skills. In the end, I chose a practical but useless prop."
"So that's it, the same herald, plus the prop rewards that only those who are reincarnation trials can get, the combination of the two is that you are so sure that I am reincarnation trials. What's important is that you are very sure that the "Don't Attack" regulations are mentioned in the herald."
The mixed-race beauty's eyes flashed, and she looked at the young and handsome but mature Chinese student in front of her with a strange look.
"After experiencing the first reincarnation trial, I can be sure that this is not a place of leisure. So, I really want to know how they ensure that the participants do not attack each other. Originally, I thought there was a sniper who was ambushing nearby, but I never expected it to be a product of the defense cover that surpassed the technology of the times. I am becoming more and more interested in the identity of the kidnapper. By the way, I haven't told me your name yet. Also, if you can put down the dagger that can stab at any time, I think we will become friends who share weal and woe."
"Sorry, occupational disease." The beauty put away the dagger awkwardly, but remained vigilant: "Helena, deputy commander of the Direwolf Mercenary. I only remember participating in a task with a high risk before falling into a coma, but I couldn't remember what happened afterwards. Since I was kidnapped, the situation of other members of the team was not optimistic. I think you are very eager to leave here, so..." She stepped on her feet with half of her cigarette, crushed her hard for a few times, and said: "We should unite and leave this ghost place as soon as possible."
"Helena? A rare name. Do you Western girls also like to dye black hair unique to Oriental people?"
"I have half of Chinese descent." Helena said without hesitation.
Yun Qi nodded in agreement: "But first, we need to figure out where we are, but look around. Apart from the building at our feet, there is also the building opposite. There is nothing else, and there is no such thing as even the ruins. This strange feeling of emptiness seems to be in the end of the world. I really can't think of where we are, maybe..."
As they spoke, a familiar light flashed from the wall behind the two. As soon as the door-shaped outline flashed, a burly figure rushed out.
It was an Asian giant who was nearly two meters tall, wearing a close-fitting vest, showing off his iron-like muscles. Under his short black hair, there were a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon.
The only regret is that he walks a bit strangely, limps, and obviously has suffered permanent injuries to his legs.
He also has the emblem of reincarnation.
"Wait..." With the lessons learned from the past, Yun Qi and Helena showed off their bright red reincarnation emblem.
Sit down and introduce yourself briefly.
The giant man is named Tiefeng, and he is a retired professional wrestler who has had a glorious period in the industry.
After waiting for about twelve minutes, the three of them appeared one after another, namely the black gangster, the chemist Edward, and the blonde white-collar Hans from a large company.
Compared to Yun Qi, Helena and Tiefeng, the three of them have little characteristics. They are barely combat-capable, which is the gangster gangster. However, looking at his ruffian spirit, you know that it would be good if he didn't cause trouble for everyone.
"That's how it is. I believe that everyone has just passed the first round of the reincarnation trial and should have some awareness. As for what will happen next, no one knows. But I can guarantee that it will definitely not be what we are happy to see. So the power of unity is far more than a piece of loose sand." Yun Qi looked at the reincarnation heraldry: "The heraldry prompts that the rules for the second round of trial will be announced in five minutes, so everyone must make good use of these precious five minutes."
"Five minutes? I can't figure it out even if I give me five hours. Why not come up with something practical," the gangster pointed to the huge cage not far away, "Who can tell me what monster is in the cage?"
The gangster seemed not very cooperative, but his words expressed the thoughts of others.
There is nothing on the rooftop, except for a piece of hardwood that is placed casually on the ground, about four or five meters long, which is the most conspicuous steel cage.
Especially the hideous giant monsters are tied inside.
Just looking at his height, he is half a head taller than the giant iron-finger, showing that he is not inferior to Yao Ming's height. His extra strong body shape has made everyone's vigilance rise to the highest point.
The reason why he is called a monster is that the mask with a hideous sewn on his face is that it is said to be hideous because obvious human tissue and blood-tormed blood vessels are exposed at the edge of the mask. It is a mask made of human skin. The details of the mask's nose occasionally undulating and the rolling bull eyes show that it is a living person, not a scary human specimen.
Chemist Edward noticed the large chainsaw beside the giant monster and screamed in disgust: "Texas Chainsaw Massacre!"
"There is indeed a problem here!" Helena thoughtfully said: "Saw, Texas Chain Saw Madman, it seems that the kidnapper has a special liking for horror elements."
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as kidnapping." Yun Qi said meaningfully.
Helena had long experienced Yun Qi's power and asked with a tactful question: "Why isn't it simple?"
Yun Qi: "From your description just now, the six of us came from six different places, with the farthest distance of thousands of kilometers. It is not something that ordinary people can do to gather us together in a short period of time."
"What's the matter? Terrorists can do it easily. Don't forget 911. They can even crash the Twin Towers, let alone the only six of us." The gangster curled his lips and expressed disdain.
Yun Qi was particularly experienced and did not express disgust for the other party's rudeness. He just said lightly: "Indeed, a small number of terrorists with huge power can do it. The question is why they do this. We are neither important government officials nor prominent capital tycoons, so why bother to mobilize many people?"
"If it's not a terrorist, who could it be? Could it be that the US government is not going to succeed!" The gangster said in discontently.
"I'm afraid it's a more terrifying existence than the United States." Yun Qi showed a strange smile on his lips, which looked particularly weird against the backdrop of the pale lights.
The gangster was shocked and he had the illusion of fear. He subconsciously took out a silver long-tube revolver, clasped his hands tightly, and pointed it timidly at the top Chinese students.
The gangster's actions made the atmosphere aggravated and tense, but Yun Qi seemed to have not seen it, and was still smoking cigarettes that were almost cigarette butts on his own.
Helena said in confusion: "More scarier than the United States? Is there any in the world? Yun Qi, I know you are very smart, but there is no need to be mysterious."
Yun Qi: "I knew that everyone didn't believe it, so it would be better for everyone to look up. The truth is above, but unfortunately everyone turned a blind eye."
There are stars all over the sky, and the night is dark. Except for the lack of the moon, there is also the same silence as before, as if there are only six people left in the whole world.
"What? Isn't it just the night sky? What's so good about it?" Hans, a white-collar worker with a blonde hair, touched his nose and said.
The other three also agreed, but Helena's eyebrows were even heavier.
"Did you find it?" Yun Qi ignored the four of them and asked Helena directly.
Helena nodded and shook her head again: "I'm not sure, because it's too unreasonable."
Yun Qi said meaningfully: "Perhaps, we are in a world that is not consistent with common sense."
The two of them had a puzzled answer, and in the end, the giant man Tiefeng couldn't help but ask what was going on.
In the night sky without clouds, not to mention the moon, even the arrangement of stars is very strange. In Yun Qi's words, there is no set of nebula arranged in line with the known constellations in astronomy.
"What does this mean?" The gangster who was the slowest responding said with a look of beating.
"Idiot, don't you understand? We are not at the earth now!" Tie Feng's roar was so thunderous that the three of them were dizzy.
If you are not on the earth, where will it be?
"Stop kidding, I... I don't understand the zodiac signs, so don't fool people." The gangster was exhausted, but his tone was obviously lacking in confidence.
Edward, a chemist who had been silent, spoke up, and his voice leaked: "Perhaps, what they said was right. There were fourteen nights in January that could not see the moon, and he could barely explain that he could not see the moon. But the arrangement of the astrological signs is eternal. Although I have no research on the constellations, I can still recognize the most common Big Dipper. But there is obviously no here."
"Okay, is it on Earth? In fact, it doesn't mean much to us at present. Now there are still two minutes left before the second round of trials, so don't waste time. I said so much to let everyone understand that they should not be lucky, because what we face will be an incredible world. Only by working together can there be a glimmer of hope." Yun Qi's few words resonated with everyone.
In fact, except for Yun Qi, Helena and Tiefeng, the remaining three of them paid a certain price in the first round of trials.
For example, in order to pass the trial, the gangster cut off the little finger and ring finger of his left hand.
The chemist faced a password door, but the password was engraved in his six teeth. He used a jigsaw to remove the pliers one by one, and now he is still talking and leaking air.
The blonde and white-collar worker were even worse. He was locked in a face-to-face mechanical device with another person, and saw who breathed less often. Each breath intensified the clamping of the giant clamp placed on his waist. In the end, Hans, a blond and white-collar worker who loved fitness, almost won the game, but watched the other party be killed by the giant clamping. Now, he still remembers a terrifying scene: from the torn hole of the broken rib, the mentally shattered internal organs flowed out. The deceased was Hans' colleague and friend.
"Tell me, what do you want us?" Hans, who was on the verge of collapse, took the lead in compromise. (PS: Thank you Ding Haifeng for his reward. Wanxiang was very excited to be able to get the appreciation of readers in such a quick time. I will add another chapter here. By the way, please recommend the small votes, thank you.)
