The Midnight Owl

Chapter 92 - board game



At midnight, the floor clock hands of the manor coincided with a loud and heavy sound.

With experienced friends, this time I put down the black tea early, carried the bag, organized the clothes, and greeted the new battlefield calmly.

The glare flashed, and the five were already in a secret room.

About half of the large classroom space has gray walls on all four sides. The ceiling and the floor are also in the same color system. There are no windows, doors, and furnishings. The entire space is like a gray box.

This kind of space makes people instinctively anxious. Fortunately, within a few seconds, they came to “peers” one after another.

The first to appear was a “multicolored stormtroopers”, which suddenly fell into the purple vortex that appeared from the ceiling. The five passers-by are all wearing the same jacket, but the colors are different, elegant gray, sky blue, burgundy, deep purple, bright orange, not the most shiny, only more shiny.

Team Xu Wang and they looked at each other, and after capturing the defense in each other’s eyes, they skipped the greetings tacitly, and each picked a corner of the secret room, settled down, and waited for the follow-up.

However, Captain Xu still couldn’t hold back. After sitting down against the wall, he whispered to his teammates: “The one who wears ash should be their captain.”

The four partners took it for granted-the same jacket, other people can only choose the square dance color, he can choose the cool elegant style, in addition to the captain’s privileges, I can’t find any other explanation.

As soon as the two teams calmed down, a purple vortex appeared on the floor of the center of the house.

They first froze for a few seconds at the space they were in. Obviously this was the first time they had come to this level. They were unprepared for the large area of ​​gray-white impact before they saw the two teams in the left and right corners.

When they saw the colorful stormtroopers, their reaction was normal, quiet, silent, and alert.

When they saw the team of Xu Wang, their expression became vivid at once.

Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, and Kuang Jinxin saw these, and they also glared.

In the confined space, eight small partners invariably issued a “cry of joy” —-

Sheng, Wang, Jin, Qian: “Gaoshuai thin white ?!”

Tall, handsome, thin, and white: “I-rely on!”

The remaining fifth person, Chi Yingxue and the other party, had blank faces.

The colorful charge team frowned, and could not conclude the relationship between the two teams. If you look at Xu Wang’s side, the joy on your four faces seems to be “the reunion of your friends.” If you look at Gao Shuai’s thin and white side, how do you see the black lines on your four faces?

“Uh,” the first person to interject is the fifth man of Gao Shuai’s thin white team. He said to the big guy, “Captain, I may need a brief summary.”

The tall and tall look became very delicate.

This is not a good story for the new teammate Science.

Just then, the third team appeared.

Just on the wall opposite Xu Wang, a purple vortex was opened, and the five of them entered the room like a door.

Headed by a smiling handsome guy, 27-year-old, with his hands in his sweater pockets, his eyes were smart, and when he entered, he looked at the Xu Wang team in the corner 1, the multicolored stormtroopers in the corner 2, and the tall and handsome white in the middle of the house. Team, I watched it all. At the end, I waved at everyone: “Hi ~”

Behind him is a man with glasses, who is also twenty-seven or eight years old, but there is a little more stability between the eyebrows. The eyes behind the lens look harmless, but inadvertently, a flash of wisdom will flash.

The remaining three teammates came in at almost the same time, one with a long figure, fair skin, and beautiful facial features, but his expression and eyes were very cold and ice-like; a full of vitality, sports sunshine, and a smile that was brighter and brighter than the one headed; A tall and muscular person, who is half a head taller than the whole team. The sturdy facial features naturally carry a sense of majesty. They do not need to wink and stare, they give people oppression.

The colorful stormtroopers watched silently.

Gao Shuai’s white team gathered the formation and frowned alertly.

With regard to the Xuwang Team, the four teams were friendly and odd, Captain Xu responded with a smile: “Hi ~”

“…” Gao Shuai looked thinly at this side, then at that side, and finally knew where the strange sense of violation came from. Are these two teams colliding with the style of painting?

“Ding–“

“Ding–“

The “20 in 1” prompt sound comes with an echo effect in a confined space, especially twice in a row.

Four teams look at the arms at the same time.

: You have 5 minutes of exemption time, select [Retire] or [Kick], and the countdown starts.

: 15 minutes before the official opening of 7/23, the countdown starts when the deadline is over.

The first team is familiar with it, because when the five-member team was set up at the beginning of 6/23, there were hints. As long as it is a five-person level, the team with a full lineup will receive such a hint first, which is convenient for you to adjust. The team is directly substituted.

As for this second article, it is very different from 6/23. At the last level, the team in the banquet hall, no matter when the increase of staff is completed, can enter the old castle halfway through and open the barrier.

According to Chi Yingxue’s “spoiler”, this one should be related to the nature of the game-since it is a table game, you must start the game at the same time. If there is a team to come first and join after the team, there is no way to play Now, no matter if you want to increase the squad or want to replace the team, you must complete the lineup adjustment within these 15 minutes. If you exceed the time limit, even if the team has all the people, you ca n’t enter the level, you can only wait for tomorrow. .

“The three teams are here for the first time.” Wu Sheng withdrew his gaze and lowered his voice.

Xu Wang nodded: “Well, but the teams that can come here are not good at it, we can’t take it lightly.”

Qian Ai frowned, “How do you know they are all coming for the first time?”

Chi Yingxue said indifferently: “They are still looking at the prompt. This reading time is consistent with the performance of digesting and understanding strange rules.”

Qian Ai: “…”

Kuang Jinxin comforted: “Brother Qian, I didn’t see it.”

Qian Ai touched his head: “But you are lucky …”

Either cunning, or wisdom, or force to break the table, or give the team a lucky buff …… Qian classmates who did not find any advantage in themselves, fell into the deep anxiety of being kicked out of the team at any time.

After fifteen minutes, there were still these four teams in the Chamber of Secrets-there was no new team coming in again.

The further the level, the fewer the number of teams. This is what Xu Wang thought of, but it was the first time he had a real feeling.

[Owl: 7/23 officially opened, do n’t be nervous, just a game of board games ~~]

“Ding–“

: Please select the combatants. Chi Yingxue / Kuang Jinxin / Qian Ai / Wu Sheng / Xu Wang?

The four partners raised their heads and unanimously looked at the chosen person, Wu Junshi.

Wu Sheng nodded slowly and steadily, his eyes full of ideas.

The four partners’ ears echoed again. During the day when the manor discussed who was going to play, his own military division’s campaign speech–

[Wolf Kill, Three Kingdoms Kill, Killing Games, Flying Chess, Backgammon, Four Kingdoms Checkers, Strategy, Battle, Logical Reasoning … Only I do n’t want to win, I ca n’t win without it. 】

In the steady odds, the five people jointly press the selection.

Wu Sheng’s figure flickered, and then disappeared completely.

A live video suddenly appeared on one wall of the secret room. Wu Sheng had appeared in another room. A gorgeous round table and four golden chairs, Wu Sheng sat on one of them.

Soon, the other three teams were selected, and the round table between the games was finally full.

Gao Shuai’s thin white team chose a tall man, the colorful charge team chose Ya gray, and the visual inspection was the captain, but finally came in that team, and chose a stable man with glasses. The moment he was seated, he gently pushed Under the glasses, just like this, Wu Sheng opposite seemed to feel some kind of aura and looked up.

The glasses youth nodded politely and said something.

Wu Sheng smiled and said something.

The little friends in the battle room only realized that, by the way, the live broadcast only had no sound!

“Kankan? Hello—” The leader of the glasses youth team seemed unwilling, and called out to the live wall again.

“Captain,” the simple handsome Sunshine sighed, “Brother Zhao has said this many times, and he rejected the nickname.”

The one who has been called as the captain has not spoken yet, and the tall and strong one has gone black: “Xiao Dong, Brother Zhao also said, don’t just give your name.”

Xiao Dong looked at him pitifully: “Brother Qi, you just gave me my last name.”

Tall and strong Fuzaki: “…”

Innocent Dong Xi: “…”

“From now on, both of you banned me!” The name of the team was almost awakened by the self-explosion, the band leader was on the verge of collapse.

Jing Jinglin, who had been quiet all the time, blew his eyes over Xu Wang and Gao Shuai’s thin white team, and sighed: “It’s obviously the same game, but we can’t communicate names with each other.”

Gao Shuai thin white: “…”

Xu Wang looked at his teammates endlessly with a word: “Do you have a familiar feeling …”

Qian Ai, Kuang Jinxin: “It seems that I was watching myself …”

Chi Yingxue: “Low version.”

“It’s time to start.” Gao Shuai’s cold white face looked thinly at the live wall and whispered.

In the game room, the light and shadow of an owl appeared in the center of the round table, and then the light and shadow spread out, and the whole round table suddenly became transparent. The same image-twenty buckled cards.

The four people in the battle did not rush to touch.

Although it is the first time to come to this level, but by 7/23, you must have suffered from all kinds of sufferings, knowing the reason not to act rashly.

Sure enough, between games and spectator games, a sound similar to “Owl” but more calm.

This time it was not in the ear, but from the ceiling, as if the two rooms had synchronous loudspeakers—

[The game content is announced below …]

Together with the Xu Wang team, everyone raised their ears.

[This is a story of Solitaire. There are 20 cards in front of each participant, including 15 story cards, 3 interrupt cards, 1 exchange card, and 1 ending card. Participants need to use the keywords on their story cards to tell and solve the solitaire story, and finally lead the story to their ending card.

[The specific rules are as follows: Among the four participants, the one with the shortest time to enter here, the first to tell a story, each time a keyword on the story card is used, the corresponding story card can be played. If the following three situations occur during the storytelling, the right to tell will be transferred-1. The story can’t go on, you can designate the next Solitaire continuator; 2. If you touch a keyword on the story card of another person, you have the The story card person directly drops the story card and continues the game. 3. The person who uses the interrupt card directly interrupts the game. The person who uses the interrupt card continues the game.

[Swap cards can only be used when you have the right to tell. You can use any card in your hand to randomly exchange a similar card from other people; you ca n’t interrupt a card to those who have played 15 story cards. People use.

[First out of 15 story cards + 1 ending card, you win.

[Friendship reminder: 1. The story of the narrator is extremely unreasonable and will be forcibly interrupted. 2. If the two story cards are too long, they will be forcibly interrupted. 】

In the game room, each of the 20 cards in front of the four players slowly flipped open. They looked at their cards at a glance and looked at others’ desktops, but they were all transparent.

In the observation room, the sixteen friends could not see any images on the round table, only four people could look down at the look on their desktops, focused and serious.

At this time, the team of Xu Wang, the mood is very complicated-

Qian Ai: “Story Solitaire … counting strategy, battle or logical reasoning?”

Xu Wang: “Language expression.”

Kuang Jinxin: “Brother Sheng … Is that okay?”

Xu Wangwang looked at the live broadcast wall, his heart was ashamed.

it’s OK? Even Jin Xin issued such a question, that would definitely not work! ! !

“Sorry,” Chi Yingxue sighed, “I should have listened to the content and rules last time, and then let my body out.”

“Ding–“

In the viewing room, the ding sounded again.

This reminder, the sixteen buddies are not prepared mentally. After all, the battle is about to start. What else do you suggest? And watching the live video, the four players in the game apparently did not receive this prompt.

: Please select the plot staff. Chi Yingxue / Kuang Jinxin / Qian Ai / Xu Wang?

Plot staff?

Team Xu Wang looked up and found that the other three teams were equally at a loss.

Sixteen little friends, look at me and look at you. The entire gray-white room is slowly covered with a shadow called “Ominous Premonition” …
