Chapter 123 Shadow World: Banquet of the Temple Villains
Chapter 123 Shadow World: Banquet of the Temple Villains
In a kind of disorderly darkness, they seemed to be submerged in the precipitation of a long time, but in fact it was only more than ten minutes.
Finally, like the first ray of sunlight breaking through layers of darkness, their vision gradually recovered, indicating that they had successfully matched and set foot in the shadow world.
Lan Qi looked around. On the left and right sides of him stood Hyperion and Frey respectively. Their faces were as familiar as ever, without any change.
He glanced across the faces of his companions to the floor-to-ceiling windows not far away.
The clear reflection proves that his own face still retains its original outline.
The scenery outside the window was difficult to discern, because the thick fog made everything appear hazy.
If it weren't for the flickering of a few faint fireflies in the garden outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, it would be difficult for them to tell whether it was early morning or late night.
Under the dense fog, it seems that the outdoor dawn is placed in a world full of mysterious beauty and confusion.
Indoors, Lan Qi and Frey are already wearing formal clothes.
Although the styles are different, they complement each other with their temperament.
Lankey's beige classic suit with a brown vest, his hair was neatly combed, and after a little formal attire, he looked more gentle than usual.
Frey was wearing a dark blue double-breasted trench coat over a slightly lazy black suit. He had an extra pair of black hard leather gloves on his hands, and his half-closed sunglasses blocked half of his eyes.
And Hubian is wearing a red dress in the shape of a great poet. The exquisite makeup has made her temperament completely different. She only looks elegant, gorgeous and lovable. She is wearing a thin coat on her shoulders, which seems to be Resist the cold attack.
Dressing like this convinced them that this was not the Demon World, and this time it didn't seem like the exam room of the Demon Academy, where they were forced to join a room with a mandatory mechanism without starting the game, and everyone seemed to be free to move around.
There is a subtle coolness in the air.
This is not the biting cold of winter, but the freshness and coldness as if breathing on the top of a mountain.
The three of them didn't talk immediately, but immersed themselves in the surrounding environment and looked at each other quietly.
What is in front of you is a huge banquet hall with a dome more than ten meters high, and at the same time, it looks like an ancient church.
Looking up, the magnificent pipe organ nearly five stories high occupies the entire back wall. Some of the sound pipes are upright and some are curved. sacred solemnity.
On the dome made of stained glass, intricate golden carvings are decorated with crystal chandeliers. In the soft light reflection, it seems like a galaxy hanging from the ceiling, illuminating the magnificent dark stone walls and the smooth marble-covered floor.
The most conspicuous place in the center of the main hall occupies a grand and spacious baroque style long table. The silver candlesticks shine brightly under the firelight. Orderly, full of luxury and fragrance of luxury and luxury.
In this majestic and majestic banquet hall, several figures stood scattered.
The two and three of them gathered together, quietly staying in place, like stone sculptures.
Whether it is the luxurious sanctuary, or the arrival of dawn, or the biting cold wind, nothing can shake their indifference.
Because this hall is not so harmonious.
In such a picture, the bloody smell mixed with the smell of death and pig iron permeated the entire hall, and the strong smell was so pungent that it completely covered the aroma in the hall.
At the end of the hall, on the main seat of the long table, a corpse in luxurious clothes was leaning on the high-backed chair with its head tilted, with despair and unwillingness on its face, and extremely painful emotions were frozen in its empty eyes.
From the bottom of his chest to his abdomen, he was brutally torn open, like a horrifying texture painting, the gurgling scarlet spring poured out from his body, swaying tragic art on the ground.
The oozing blood blended with the patterns on the marble floor, flowing in the banquet hall, leaving blood-red marks along the lines of the table legs.
This blood color is like an invisible knife, splitting the banquet hall that was originally shining with gold and silver brilliance, and turning it into a strange and terrifying murderous cage.
Soon, hints appeared in front of his eyes.
【Shadow World: Templar Villain Dinner Party】
[Level: Tier [-]]
[In this late autumn, you twelve guests were invited by Sir Caligula to come to this ancient castle on the cliff for a gathering. 】
[You all seem to have different social identities, but in fact you are all members of the secret church, aiming to overthrow the bloody rule of the blood race over human beings. 】
【However, Grand Priest Caligula died tragically that night. 】
[Among the 12 of you, there is a traitor who has defected to the blood clan. 】
[Total number of challengers: 12]
[Special identity challenger: 3]
[Special Identity - Detective (non-betrayer): Automatically selected as the non-betrayer who has the best chance of solving the puzzle among all challengers, and is characterized by wearing the Holy Cross brooch presented by Sir Caligula. 】
[Special status - blood family member (betrayer): You can borrow its power once a day when the blood lord Count Palokas and the blood lord Count Seberna are awake. 】
[Note: If the blood family member dies, the earl-level blood master will arrive at the castle within a day. 】
【Mission Objective 1: Find the Betrayer 0/2. 】
[Mission objective 2: Explore the secrets and crises hidden in the castle. 】
[Mission Objective 3: At least one person survives until the end of the 1-hour time limit. 】
[The traitor side has a completely different mission objective, only the traitor can see it; the non-betrayer will get a professional status, only the non-betrayer can see it. 】
[If the challenger mission goal fails, it will trigger a natural disaster. 】
[The time remaining is 119 hours and 59 minutes. 】
[The starting point for all challengers is the base floor lobby. 】
On the high wall inside the hall, a big clock hangs quietly.
At this time, the pointer has just crossed the position of 05:30, which is in the early morning of dawn.
As the reminder message from Shadow World flashed, the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became tense.
In this castle, everyone is in danger!
People's vision began to sharpen, like a group of ferocious beasts in a cage, wary of each other, because everyone knew that next, they would face a five-day challenge full of trust crisis and risk their lives.
It's no ordinary shadow world.
The enemy is not a historical figure projected in the shadow world.
It is a death game between the historical figures played by the challengers, deceiving and seeing through the deception, killing and preventing the killing!
Challengers in the sanctuary.
No matter what thoughts you have.
Finally, they all gradually turned their attention to the man who was chosen by the film world and wore the cross holy splendor brooch——
His gray hair was slightly disheveled, his tall and strong figure was full of explosive power like a wild wolf, his face was sharp and angular, and he wore a pair of small sunglasses, and his aggressive eyes were deep and cold.
A kind of arrogant arrogance exudes from all over his body, and he is a killer at first glance.
"..."
and many more.
This is.
detective……?
……
In the late night of the Icarite Academy, the Gela Memorial Square was filled with white light.
The time on the clock tower also points to 05:30 in the morning.
However, at this point in time, the square was already buzzing.
Many students who guessed Lan Qi and Huberlian's second movie world time had already brought camping blankets and food boxes, and sat down on the steps of the square with a good view.
With the screen of the film world belonging to the three of Lan Qi appearing on the large open-air screen.
Icarite Academy, Gela Memorial Square, finally became noisy again.
"Frey is a detective?"
"Isn't he a power player?!"
Many students in the Knight Academy know that Frey has monster-like strength and physical strength growth. Even if he is only at the fourth level, the fifth-level veterans of the Knight Academy dare not say that they can beat him head-on.
In the third round of the actual combat test for the entrance examination of the Knight Academy, he didn't play any fancy things, and rushed forward and punched the examiner for the first time that shocked the Knight Academy.
Except that this guy's brain circuit is very strange, he is indeed the strongest chief freshman in the history of the strongest knight academy.
But no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a detective!
This fifth-level shadow world itself is extremely dangerous for the challenger who is in the clear, and may face unknown and overly powerful blood clan powers at any time, even if it is a sixth-level challenger, if he is a little careless, he will be caught off guard and die tragically.
For ordinary third- and fourth-order challengers, the difficulty is seriously beyond the class.
The level of detectives directly determines the challengers' hopes of victory.
A detective with an absolutely reliable identity will be the key to finding out the betrayer!
If the detective lags behind and can't find the betrayer, everyone will be in a desperate situation as the betrayer's secret mission progresses secretly and speeds up.
Moreover, the challenger can't force the two traitors who are blood family members too hard. They must grasp the huge information gap to stabilize the betrayers and find a way to catch them.
Otherwise, once the traitors jump over the wall in a hurry and choose to die together, and the blood count of the seventh rank is attracted, it will directly start the runaway mode that will wipe out all the challengers.
Even a seventh-rank powerhouse cannot withstand the immortality of the blood count, and there is almost no hope of winning in a duel.
Even if all the challengers in this fifth-level shadow world add up, they cannot defeat the earl at night. Even if they can escape during the day, when the sun goes down, they will be brutally killed by the earl of the blood race!
"It's not good, if Lan Qi is a detective...why is Frey..."
"Detectives can only choose from non-betrayers, so Lan Qi shouldn't be a blood family member?"
Although the students began to doubt the identities of Lan Qi and Huberian as extrahuman creatures at the first moment, they could clearly see the information in their perspectives because they had all started the [Shadow World Recording Program].
The identities of Lan Qi and Huberian are [Lawyer] and [Actress] respectively.
[Lawyer] Familiar with the laws and regulations of the current country, you can check them in your movie world panel.
【Actress】Easier to attract attacks.
Mission objectives are also regular versions.
Obviously, Frey, Lanci, and Huberian are not traitors.
The betrayer must be hidden among the other nine challengers whose strength is unknown.
In the Jiela Memorial Square, the dim light and shadow of the huge outdoor screen reflected on the faces of the students, either bright or dark, making them swallow their saliva.
Just thinking that if it was me who was in this world of shadows that could die at any moment, many students felt chills down their backs and their hairs stood on end.
Whenever night falls.
waiting for its own.
It may all be the miserable ending of Sir Caligula, who sat on the main seat and had his chest and belly ripped open.
"This kind of mental game, the shadow world that requires the challenger and the villain to play tricks and kill, often tests the psychological quality. Sometimes before the final moment, the psychological defense line may collapse, and even cannot help committing suicide Seek relief."
A senior student couldn't help but sighed solemnly.
however.
He looked at the screen, looked at the detectives, lawyers, and actresses, and thought of the recent "Civilization and New Style" campaign on campus, and he choked up halfway through his words.
"But the three bullies from the student union went in, so it feels like the painting style is a bit wrong!"
Let me explain in advance that the three members of the protagonist group are not traitors, and there is no such thing as a master of pain.
