The time displayed on the phone is 9:22 AM on January 5, 2027.
Location: Ancient Country, Southern Nanbian City Nan Province.
Aside from some discrepancies in time and city names, it seems no different from the real world.
The first Simulation only Simulation a medium-sized city, but this second Simulation directly Simulation a Parallel World?
In comparison, the first Simulation was quite rushed.
Meanwhile, the other contestants also began to use their unique skills Divine Ability to compete.
The contestants who garnered the most attention in the previous round were contestant No. 7 Ye Chen, contestant No. 2 Qin Su, contestant No. 1 Xiao Lian, and contestant No. 88 Ling Yi, who had the highest number of viewers.
Contestant No. 1, Xiao Lian, did not choose to hide in the villa. Instead, he drove a sports car directly from the villa's garage and entered the city.
He didn't even bring a weapon; he only took two bank cards, some cash, and a mobile phone.
Using my phone, I navigated to the nearest upscale entertainment club.
In just two hours, he hooked up with a pretty girl.
It only took half a day to get the hang of it.
The viewers in the live stream were furious.
Xiao Lian was already very handsome, and now he also has a sports car, cash, and tens of millions in bank deposits.
That would be like adding wings to a tiger.
Plus, this guy is incredibly eloquent and knowledgeable about everything, from finance and music to food and painting—he's amazing at it all.
This guy is practically born a Holy Body; very few girls can resist his advances.
If a guy can't win over a girl, it just means he doesn't want to.
The next day, Xiao Lian and the girl started discussing marriage.
Then, under the pretext of meeting the parents, he took the girl and left the big city for her rural hometown.
However, the Simulation scenario restricts the activity area for the participants.
They can only cause trouble in the Nanbian City.
Once you leave Nanbian City, you're constantly dealing with unexpected situations like flat tires or traffic jams.
This forced the athletes to return to the Nanbian City.
After trying it a few times, Xiao Lian immediately understood this.
This made him very frustrated.
Clearly, this guy wanted to go to a remote rural area to escape the assassins.
He doesn't just pick any girl.
This girl's hometown is a small, almost isolated mountain village.
Forget about cameras, there's not even a network signal.
If you were to hide inside, you could stay there for a year, let alone a month.
Despite the failure of his first plan, Xiao Lian remained calm and went directly to the Inspection Bureau to turn himself in as an assassin.
This was Xiao Lian's second plan.
They wanted to seek protection by relying on official resources.
As long as I survive for another month, that's fine.
But he forgot one thing: this was Simulation, seemingly no different from the real world.
However, the World Rule are vastly different from those of the real world.
Alternatively, the Simulation scenario can be viewed as a movie script, with the contestants as the Protagonist in the film.
Simulation scenarios, however, follow the rules of cinema.
Think you can just hide in jail and be done with it? It's not that simple.
However, Xiao Lian's move could buy him some time.
Contestant No. 2, Qin Su, did not leave the villa.
She not only possesses formidable Combat, but also has extensive knowledge of weapons Firearms.
After all, they are mecha pilots who have undergone special official training, and their Combat are not only reflected in their physical strength.
Her approach was simple: use the existing weapons to transform the villa into a defensive fortress.
They waited patiently, preparing to confront the assassin head-on.
Ye Chen, No. 7, also did not leave the villa, or at least for the time being, he did not seem to have any intention of leaving.
Instead, I went to the city to buy a high-spec Computer.
Using hacking techniques, they attempted to infiltrate the Assassin Company's database.
As for how things are progressing, since the camera hasn't shown the Computer screen, the audience can't tell.
But judging from Ye Chen's calm and confident expression, he seemed to have everything under control.
Other newly matched contestants also employed a variety of tactics.
Some Earthly Dao, some hid in the Lin Zhong next to the villa, and some spent a lot of money to hire a renovation company to build a steel wall around the villa.
Some people even put on makeup, left the villa, and then found a job as a security guard in an old residential area, playing the role of a master of Yinyin in plain sight.
That's a pretty clever move.
Whether it will succeed is hard to say.
To reiterate, this is a Simulation scenario, and it follows movie rules. Since it follows movie rules, it's almost impossible for the contestants, as the Protagonist, to survive by playing it safe.
Scene time: 10 PM on January No. 8.
Ling Yi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He grabbed his vibrating phone from the bedside table, swiped the screen, and immediately saw the villa's surveillance footage.
And it's the Night Vision version.
As the residence of an assassin, surveillance is indispensable, and there is an overwhelming amount of surveillance.
Surveillance cameras were installed not only inside the villa, but also around the villa and even in the Lin Zhong next to it.
The phone contains an app that connects to the monitoring equipment.
The phone will issue an alert as soon as a stranger is detected approaching by the surveillance cameras.
"Damn it, couldn't I have come two hours later?" Ling Yi cursed inwardly.
There are still two hours left. Once it reaches midnight, we can claim the "lying down" reward.
But then, the assassin appeared.
Ling Yi remained motionless, lying on the bed, watching the assassin's movements on the monitor through his phone.
This assassin made no attempt to hide anything.
He carried the pistol and arrived at the villa's entrance.
The person was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, so their face was not visible.
He was wearing a loose-fitting tracksuit and was about 1.7 meters tall.
He first checked the security camera at the villa entrance, then made a greeting gesture by putting two fingers together in front of the camera. After that, he pulled out his pistol and fired three shots.
The pistol had a silencer, so it made a very muffled sound.
However, it is not completely silent.
At least Ling Yi could still hear the "biu, biu" sound from inside the bedroom.
However, the assassin clearly underestimated the sturdiness of the security door.
Just as Ling Yi had predicted, this security door had been heavily modified.
The pistol broke the lock, but it was useless.
The security door appears to be made of solid wood, but the inside is actually a steel plate two centimeters thick.
Handgun bullets simply can't penetrate it.
The assassin gave a thumbs-up gesture at the camera, clearly speechless at the door's poor security.
They turned around and looked for other ways to enter.
The assassin circled the villa and found that all the doors and windows were tightly shut. The doors were sturdy and couldn't be opened at all, and the window glass was bulletproof, rendering ordinary Firearms ineffective.
But the assassin was not discouraged. After discovering that he couldn't get in through normal means, he took out three grenades from the backpack on his back.
He waved his hand at the camera, as if to say he was going to blow up the door.
But just then, the door clicked open with a few crisp sounds, and to the assassin's astonishment, it opened directly.
Not only did the door open, but the lights in the room also turned on.
In an instant, the once dark villa became brightly lit.
The assassin was clearly stunned by the scene, and looked into the doorway but did not see Ling Yi.
Just then, Ling Yi's voice rang out.
"Don't make too much noise, come upstairs, let's fight one-on-one!"
"Oh, and remember to close the door!"
The assassin scratched his head, then chuckled twice and walked straight into the villa.
He cautiously looked around, carefully observing every corner.
After finding no danger in the living room, he turned and closed the bedroom door.
I glanced in the direction of the stairs, slowly walked to the top of the stairs, and leaned to look towards the second floor.
He then gave a cold laugh and reached for the pin on the grenade.
But just then, he felt a sharp pain in both wrists, and the grenade in his hand fell to the ground.
The assassin looked at his wrists and, without realizing it, found that two ultra-thin throwing knives had appeared on each of his wrists.
Furthermore, those two throwing knives severed his tendons with incredible precision.
He didn't know how Ling Yi had done it, but he knew very well that he was going to be in trouble today.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his wrist, and strode up to the second floor.
He saw Ling Yi staring at him with an angry expression.
"Didn't I tell you not to make a big fuss? Why are you still using a grenade?"
"Why should I listen to you?" the assassin said, frustrated.
"You're not even a Bronze assassin. With your throwing knife skills, you couldn't even make it big for Silver Grade assassin."
"Only a 100,000 yuan reward? Laozi 've been ripped off by the company."
Ling Yi did not kill the assassin immediately.
Instead, he asked, "What level of assassin are you?"
"Nonsense, it's just Bronze mission. Of course I'm a Bronze Grade assassin. With a bounty of 100,000, assassins above the Bronze Grade wouldn't even consider it."
"Besides, this is also an unspoken rule of the company: they only take on assassins of a certain caliber for missions of a certain level; they won't take on lower-level missions."
"Then you're really unlucky," Ling Yi laughed.
"It's my fault for being too fast." The assassin's hands trembled violently from the pain, and his face was covered in cold sweat.
"If you fail to complete the mission, how long will it take before a second wave of assassins arrives?"
"You don't know?" the assassin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'm Bronze newbie!" Ling Yi shrugged.
"Screw Bronze!" the assassin cursed.
"These kinds of internal company bounty tasks usually only have a three-day deadline; if the task isn't submitted within three days, it's considered a failure."
"The mission will be re-accepted until another assassin accepts it."
"Did you accept this mission three days ago?" Ling Yi asked.
"Right!"
"So today is your final deadline for this task?"
"Yes, oh, whatever you want to ask, I can tell you, but could you give me a simple bandage first?"
Ling Yi glanced at him, bent down and grabbed a handful of things from behind the sofa, revealing a first-aid kit in his hand.
Just then, the assassin suddenly accelerated and charged towards Ling Yi.
Clearly, the assassin didn't want to die and wanted to take a gamble.
Although he was unarmed, the assassin's leg Kung Fu Hustle were not bad, and the distance between Ling Yi and him was not far.
As long as the assassin can get close enough to injure or knock out Ling Yi, he still has a chance to turn the tables.
But after taking only two steps forward, the assassin felt his legs go numb.
He knelt down on the ground.
