Cooperation and Slaughter
Because of their different serial numbers, Luo Di and the class monitor were forced to separate.
In fact, he had already thought of this. After all, the two of them had worked together extensively before. If there were no rules to restrict the final level, the class monitor would also do his best to help him pass the level, which would give Luo Di a great advantage and affect the fairness of the game.
After reordering,
Luo Di looked at the other participant who had drawn number 3.
The opponent was the youngest-looking of the twenty finalists.
He is around 160cm tall, like a student somewhere between junior high and high school, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and loose jeans.
However, this person's face was entirely composed of teeth.
The eye is formed by the upper and lower closure of the eight front teeth.
The nose is formed by two rows of molars arranged at different heights.
A mouth formed by interlocking fangs.
And the ear formed by the Wisdom Tooth rooted between the skin,
A head of white, short hair that also resembles the structure of teeth.
There are also teeth structures in the exposed palms.
Perhaps sensing Luo Di's gaze, he turned around and looked over with his teeth-shaped eyes.
In just a fleeting moment of eye contact, Luo Di could hear the unsettling sound of teeth grinding.
Recalling Mr. Question Mark's introduction,
Tooth Child are servants sold in the local markets of the City of Sin, without names, or whose names have been forgotten.
A wealthy man who happened to be passing through the City of Sin learned that Death Grand Gauntlet would be held that day, so he went to the slave market to find treasures, and this one caught his eye at first glance.
Originally, I just wanted to have some simple fun. I thought it would be enough for this temporarily bought servant to get through one or two rounds. I never expected that this Tooth Child could overcome all obstacles and make it to the finals.
His performance in the first few levels was also outstanding; more than twenty monsters have died by his teeth.
current,
The Tooth Child extended his hand, which had a certain tooth structure, and wanted to shake hands with Luo Di was also numbered [3].
Luo Di simply closed his eyes to rest and did not respond. No one knew whether there was malice hidden behind this seemingly friendly gesture.
After all, such a two-person pairing could be a cooperative effort, or it could be a direct 1v1 killing match.
Or perhaps Luo Di's current state is strange; he needs to focus more on himself and has no time to pay attention to others, not even glancing at the fact that the class monitor was assigned to a group with some monster.
Seeing that Luo Di did not respond, Tooth Child turned his head away in frustration, even burying his head slightly, and played with a string of teeth bracelets on his wrist.
Seeing that everyone had lined up in the order of their numbers, Mr. Question Mark began the final explanation of the rules.
The theme of the final level is "Choice".
Once the game starts, you will be assigned to different private rooms according to your group.
You need to find "envelopes" in rooms with different styles.
Once you find the envelope, you will face a choice.
"Choose 1 - Open the envelope." You and your partner need to act according to the instructions in the letter. Once the requirements are met, the door to the next room will open.
There are many different kinds of requirements inside the envelope.
For example, you might need to kill a certain creature hiding in a room.
You will need to sever your own limbs, which cannot be repaired before you complete the game.
It requires completing a thrilling challenge that could lead to death, and so on.
Of course, some lucky players may receive a friendly request.
For example, you can simply stay indoors and rest for a while, and get a nutritious meal that can restore your energy.
It is important to note that both parties must agree to open the envelope; if even one person disagrees, the envelope cannot be opened.
"Option 2 - Kill your comrade"
You can choose not to open the envelope and instead kill your companion; you will still have the opportunity to proceed to the next room.
Once you kill your companion, you will be in a [single state].
If other participants in other groups are also single at the same time, you will form a new two-person team in the next room.
If you don't find a match, you'll be playing as a single person and will need to complete the requirements in the letters independently until you meet your next companion.
The above is the main process of the final level.
In addition, each room has a fixed "stay time". If a player has not left the room by the time limit, he/she will be forcibly eliminated.
Furthermore, none of your methods can damage the room or force people out of the room. If you have extra energy, you can try.
Finally, as this is the final stage, and as I mentioned before, only the strongest players have been selected to reach this point. Your presence is meaningful in exploring the depths of the corners, and necessary in uncovering the fears.
Therefore, you can choose to abstain at certain game points, as shown below:
1. Upon opening the envelope, you discover that the "requirements" on it will likely lead to your death.
2. Someone disagrees with opening the envelope and is prepared to fight you to the death.
3. You've been given the chance to move to the next room, but you don't want to continue.
You can choose to exit the game at any of the three points mentioned above.
Please note that once you begin fulfilling the letter's request or are already engaged in combat with your companions, you will not be able to force quit.
The player who survives to the end will be the winner of this year's Death Grand Gauntlet.
We will now have a ten-minute Q&A session, during which I will try my best to answer your questions.
As Mr. Question Mark announced the rules, the scene immediately became lively, with all sorts of monsters raising their hands to ask for details. Among them, someone asked a very crucial question.
"If the last two remaining players choose to cooperate instead of fighting each other, will the game continue indefinitely? Or will they be forced to fight each other?"
"You can rest assured about that. The games I organize will generally not force anyone to do anything. After all, games should be free and open to players to explore."
If this situation really happens.
The two players who successfully navigate through ten rooms will share the victory.
Although that's what they say, no one thinks such a situation will actually occur.
This is the final level, extremely difficult. If you want to pass through ten rooms in a row, the two of you will most likely die in the process, even the Innate Monster is no exception.
"If everyone has no questions, let's start placing bets on the spot! You'll have ten minutes to bet on the player you think will win. You can ask our staff for the odds."
When the time comes, let's begin the final level.
When all the betting was almost over,
Mr. Question Mark snapped his fingers! Snap!
The spot where the twenty contestants were standing immediately turned into a black hole, and they all fell into it.
At the same time, ten real-time surveillance images from different rooms appeared on the walls of the waiting area.
Buzz!
After a ringing in the ears,
Luo Di landed steadily on a metal chair, his body bound by Leather Straps. A Sealing Array set on the chair was in effect, Effective Suppression his System Abilities and preventing him from breaking free.
His Tooth Child in the same group, also ended up in the same seat, sitting opposite him, completely bound.
The room is an area similar to a restaurant.
The two were strapped to opposite sides of the dining table.
A Countdown clock is hanging on the side wall, counting down to half an hour.
On the other side stands a door, which seems to lead to the next room if the requirements are met.
The so-called envelope didn't need to be searched for; it was placed right in the center of the dining table, pure white and branded with a large question mark.
at the same time,
A voice simultaneously rang in the minds of Luo Di and Tooth Child:
"The letter has been found. Do you wish to open it? Please make your decision within twenty seconds."
Luo Di met the gaze of the Tooth Child sitting opposite him once more.
After some consideration, the two of them made a decision in their hearts.
Twenty seconds are up... Click!
The devices binding the two were completely removed.
The dining table in front of us also began to change, with exquisite dishes rising from within, looking very appetizing and smelling incredibly delicious.
The sound came again:
The envelope has been opened. The instructions are as follows: Please finish eating within 10 minutes. Do not waste food or leave any leftovers. The weight of the food consumed by each person must not differ by more than 100g.
Luo Di grabbed the envelope; the contents described on it matched the voice, suggesting they were lucky and had drawn the bonus room.
There wasn't much food on the table, and Luo Di could easily finish it all by himself; there was no question of whether he could eat it all.
The two didn't exchange many words, each reaching out to put a Meatball in their mouths.
As soon as he bit into the Meatball, Luo Di's expression changed drastically, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
The Tooth Child opposite was in a similar situation; his teeth were trembling wildly, but he managed to keep his mouth tightly shut. If he vomited, it would be considered food waste and he would be eliminated.
At the same time, something alive could be seen moving around on the faces and throats of the two people, and then quickly moving deep into their bodies.
