Doomsday Wonderland

When Lin Sanjiu looked at the seawater in the distance rushing into the sky, she suddenly couldn't help but shudder, as if the cold seawater splashed on her face from dozens of miles away. Her brows were tightly knitted together, she glanced at the side of the wet and fair face of the gift bag, and opened her mouth, but in the end no sound came out.

She reacted.

Mu Xin floated on the sea without saying a word, still letting them hold him for the time being; but he never looked back, and the lines on his shoulders and neck were as stiff as if they were made of cement. As for the mermaid tail he just held in his hand, it had been taken back at some point.

Among the few people now, the only one who didn't realize the tension in the atmosphere was probably the Queen of Soul.

In fact, even if Ji Shanqing had not made that suggestion, Mu Xin would not have been able to swim out of the competition in time, because the entire conversation actually only took a minute or two; but this fact did not make Lin Sanjiu feel any better, and it obviously did not make Mu Xin any better. Xin's anger lessened a bit.

"Sister," Libao called out breathlessly, freed up a hand and held her wrist tightly as if pleading.

Lin Sanjiu didn't look back, pretending to be attentive to the announcement - she felt that the muscles in her neck were stiff and she couldn't move.

"To achieve our goal, we must keep him, and I have no choice." Ji Shanqing came closer and said in a voice that even Lin Sanjiu could hardly hear, "I have no ill intentions towards him. In the game, I will definitely I will find ways to protect his safety and compensate him well after the game..."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but after spending such a long time together, Lin Sanjiu could almost guess what the gift bag wanted to say. Compared with the goal of several of them to return to the data flow management library, Mu Xin's personal wishes are really insignificant; even if he does not participate in this god-god competition, is he not allowed to go back to participate in other competitions? It’s all a competition anyway. What’s the difference if we compare in another place?

But no.

This shouldn't be the case.

Ji Shanqing seemed a little anxious when he saw that she remained silent. He was about to open his mouth, but the loud voice said at this moment: "...I think it is necessary to introduce to you the specific rules of the first round of the game. Have you ever played checkers? Ah, there are people who don't have this in their world. Planting something? You're in trouble. In short, the rules of this game are very similar to checkers..."

At this point, the voice suddenly stopped. After a long pause of more than ten seconds, the voice sounded again.

"Forget it, it's too troublesome, I'm too lazy to say it. Let's just get started."

What?

When that voice sounded, the waves on the sea had already calmed down; as soon as these words came out, Lin Sanjiu immediately caught the commotion and complaints coming from unknown directions from the sea breeze - but this little human voice was too subtle. , when the wind blew, they were blown away like illusions, leaving people with no idea where the protesting players were.

"What's going on?" the Queen of Soul screamed, "Is there something wrong with this person?"

When several people were caught off guard and confused, the seawater within their field of vision suddenly began to vibrate, as if someone was violently shaking it, creating waves one after another. The waves rolling over the snow-white waves transitioned from dark blue to light green, and when they fell suddenly, they broke on a black rock rising slowly from the seabed, causing a splash of water all over the sky.

That's not the only rock that appears on the surface of the sea.

In just a few minutes, wherever Lin Sanjiu looked, there were countless black rocks of the same appearance; each one was about the same size, separated by a similar distance, and evenly spread on the sea, like a An ink dot thrown on the sea.

"This is the black camp," the voice spoke faster.

As soon as these words were heard, several people turned their heads and looked at the sea behind them; far away from the narrow black rocks, white rocks rose from the sea. That side must be the white camp.

"Just like checkers, you can run into the opponent's camp. After the game is over, whichever camp retains more strength will win." The voice was lowered, and Lin Sanjiu heard it. It was undoubtedly the voice of Zeus himself; he introduced it vaguely and immediately shouted: "Okay, you can start the competition within a few seconds, I can't hold my pee in anymore!"

"That's it?" the Soul Queen exclaimed in disbelief, "What kind of bullshit competition description is this? What does it mean to preserve strength? Also, where is his toilet?"

Not only do you not know when to start counting, but you also worry about where Zeus's urine will go.

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but look around, silently estimating the time in her mind; when she was thinking about what to do next, Mu Xin suddenly turned her head at this moment.

One corner of his mouth raised on his face that was whitened by the sea water; it looked like a half-smile, but there was no smile at all. He stared at the gift bag closely and said slowly: "It seems that your efforts in keeping me have been in vain."

Lin Sanjiu was startled and then understood what he meant.

If the example is a checkers game, the chess pieces cannot be the rocks, they must be the players; the role of the rocks is probably like the checkers board, which only creates a space for them to move forward and differentiates the Camp - Although they don’t understand what preserving strength means, one thing is clear: in this way, they no longer have to soak in the sea water, and Mu Xin no longer needs to be their lifeboat.

Ji Shanqing quickly became frightened and apologized hastily: "Brother Mu Xin, I'm sorry. I understand you are angry..."

"Is it enough to just understand?"

Ji Shanqing frowned and seemed to be holding back his anxiety and had to continue: "Of course not. After the game is over, I can make any apology you want..."

With a snort, Mu Xin raised her eyebrows as if watching a play, and turned her body slightly in the sea water - just when Lin Sanjiu thought he had something to say, she subconsciously loosened her fingers slightly; right here In a flash of light, a heavy and swift wave suddenly hit them, knocking the two men away.

Mu Xin was as fast as lightning, shooting out of the high waves, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed onto a black reef. The rock was not the one closest to them, but when Lin Sanjiu resurfaced and wiped the water off his face, he was already standing firmly on the rock.

No one knew when the ten seconds should start counting. However, Mu Xin looked at the two people and one insect in the water and spoke slowly: "I delayed you for a while, and now ten seconds should be almost over." arrive."

"How did you-"

Mu Xin pointed to the sea water.

Lin Sanjiu quickly stretched her neck, but saw nothing; she suddenly reacted, sank into the water with a splash, and opened her eyes in the sour and uncomfortable sea water.

Countless streams of bright yellow water that were dazzling were spreading in this direction from all directions, like a dense group of long snakes, approaching in the blink of an eye. Lin Sanjiu hurriedly grabbed the gift bag and the meat worm, and threw herself towards the nearest rock - looking at her struggling and struggling in the water, Mu Xin folded his arms.

"If you want to survive in the most dangerous place, you have to let people know that you are not easy to bully." He said softly.
