Chapter 276 This is the game between me and Him

"The Hall of Trust?" Bai Wei touched his chin and said with interest, "First is courage, and second is trust. In other words, these are the two things that the God of Senluo values ​​most?"

"Yes." Ivana nodded. "The God of Senluo believes that courage and trust are the most important qualities of a hunter."

"This is so positive." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Just hearing these two things, who would have thought that it was proposed by the evil god known to the public?"

Hearing Bai Wei say this, Ivana seemed a little unhappy.

"Whether the god is evil or not is just what you outsiders say." As the last saint of Senluo, Ivina would still subconsciously protect her own god. "When the god of Senluo was alive, this land was no different from the outside world. The current chaos was all caused by the wildfire cultists who came later."

Bai Wei smiled and did not argue with Ivana, the down-and-out little saint.

In fact, this land was identified as a cult territory not after the death of the God of Senluo, but when He was still alive.

"So what is this trial?"

Vic asked Ivana impatiently, apparently the last trial gave him great confidence.

“Well…” Ivana frowned slightly, “I don’t know how to put it. You’ll know when you get in.”

So Vic put Ivana down and went forward to push the door.

With a huge roar, the door was pushed open, and the statue of the God of Senluo appeared before everyone again.

However, this time, He was not in the fighting posture as in the Temple of Courage. Instead, He spread out His hands like a scale, with two iron chains hanging from His hands, landing in front of the two secret doors on both sides of the statue.

"What's this?"

Vic picked up one of the chains, but scratched his head as he couldn't understand what it was.

Before Ivana could explain, Bai Wei walked to another chain, picked it up, and said with a smile: "I guess you should tie this chain to your body, and then enter the corresponding room to complete something... Is that right, Miss Saint?"

Yvina nodded, then walked forward and pushed open one of the doors.

The room was dark, and all that could be seen was a straight, beam-like path less than half a meter wide extending from the end.

As for the two sides of the path, there were bottomless abysses. Ivina picked up a small stone and threw it in front of her.

The stone fell into darkness, but no echo came back.

"If you fall down, you will die." Yvina said briefly.

Vic, who was originally somewhat excited, couldn't help but shrink his head after seeing this scene, but he soon noticed the chain in his hand and immediately asked, "Is this chain to prevent us from falling?"

Ivana nodded: "Yes."

But before Vic could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Ivana speak slowly.

"But once one side of the chain becomes a protection chain, the other end will become a killing chain."

Vic was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Ivana found some wood and tied it in the middle of the chain. "This chain is used to tie around the waist. When someone falls on one side, it will immediately become a protective rope for the falling person. But at the same time, it will trigger a certain mechanism, making the chain on the other side... like this."

She pulled one of the chains hard, and then the other chain tightened suddenly as if it sensed something.

With a "click".

Several logs were broken in two.

"If one party falls, the other party will die." Ivana said softly, "Only if both parties are safe can they walk out of the entire passage safely. This is the test of the Hall of Trust."

Vic was frozen.

He had never expected it to be a trial like this.

The iron chain in your hand is not chaining your own life, but the lives of others.

At this moment, Vic felt that the chain in his hand was extremely heavy, so heavy that he almost couldn't lift it.

"This is the meaning of trust." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Obviously, in the eyes of the God of Senluo, trust is useless if it is just spoken. It must be measured by life and death to be valuable."

After saying that, Bai Wei looked at Ivana again.

"Come to think of it, when we were in the Temple of Courage, you said that you passed the trial with the help of your grandmother. What about this trial? Have you tried it?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ivana said honestly: “My grandmother and I tried, but we didn’t pass.”

Vic immediately looked at Ivana in surprise: "Ah? Then why aren't you dead yet?"

Before Yvina could answer, Vic immediately shook his head and muttered to himself.

"No, no, if it was you who fell, it should be your grandmother who died...ah, no wonder your grandmother died."

Vic's words made Ivana so angry that her teeth itched. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Bai Wei smiled and said, "Don't mind it. He didn't mean it. He was just too nervous and started talking nonsense."

Only then did Ivana notice that Vic's behavior was indeed a little abnormal, so she pursed her lips and didn't delve into it. She just explained, "My grandmother and I didn't go in deep, nor did we close the door. We just walked about ten meters inside and stopped."

While Ivana was talking, Bai Wei was also watching her.

He saw the little self in Ivana's mind, curled up alone in the corridor crying and not daring to move forward. Obviously, she would never forget this experience.

"Your grandmother should be the person you trust most in this world." Bai Wei said with a smile, "You are willing to go astray in order to bring her back to life, but even so, you can't pass this trial with her?"

"I was too young at that time, and..." Ivana tried to defend herself first, but halfway through her words she realized that it was meaningless to defend herself at this time, so she nodded after hesitating for a while, "Yes, it was indeed difficult. And at that time my grandmother and I still had the door open and didn't walk very far. We just experienced this trial. The formal trial requires closing the door and walking a few hundred meters inside."

Yvina pointed at the passage in front of her that seemed to have no end.

"My grandmother told me that there is no light source in here, and you can't hear people talking on the other side. The only sound you can hear is the friction of the chains." Ivana whispered, "That means you have no way to communicate with the people on the other side. If something goes wrong, then... it's really wrong."

Just imagining that scene, Vic couldn't stop swallowing.

He now felt that the trial in the Hall of Courage was nothing compared to the trial in the Hall of Trust.

"Life and death are in the hands of the person you trust the most." Bai Wei sighed and walked forward, looking at the dark passage in front of him, and said with a smile, "Let me think about it. Since this trial is prepared for hunters, then it will definitely not allow two hunters to enter at the same time, because there will not be such a high level of trust between two hunters. So, this is prepared for hunters and hounds?"

Vic was stunned, while Ivana beside him nodded.

"Yes. The Hall of Trust does not emphasize trust between people, but more about the trust between hunters and their hunting partners, that is, the hounds. So one aspect of this is indeed prepared for the hounds."

Bai Wei stroked his chin and said with interest: "In other words, for hunters, this is not putting their lives in the hands of other hunters, but in the hands of their own hunting dogs... Well, if you put your life in the hands of a dog, you have it for the rest of your life."

When he heard the word "dog", the extremely nervous Vic still subconsciously retorted: "Ade is a wolf."

"Yes, yes, Ade is a wolf." Bai Wei looked at Vic again, "How is it, do you remember anything? Did you and your little wolf pass this test half a month ago?"

Vic was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, he and Ade came here half a month ago.

But he had no memory of it at all.

After trying hard to recall, Vic said honestly, "I can't remember."

"Well... it doesn't matter. Maybe I can only remember it after I go in." Bai Wei asked with a smile, "How about it, do you want to go in?"

Vic pursed his lips tightly.

In fact, he had no choice at all. He had already come this far and paid such a huge price. Was he just going to give up?

But the problem is, if it is a trial like the Hall of Courage where you just need to make up your mind, it doesn't matter if there are a few more. Now Vic feels that he will not hesitate anymore. The worst that can happen is death.

But in this trial, his mistakes would only kill the people on the other side, so it was hard for him not to hesitate.

But again, he no longer had a choice.

"I'm going in." Vic made up his mind and looked at Bai Wei seriously, "Please believe me, I will never fall."

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Of course, I am willing to believe you."

Bai Wei's trust made Vic feel warm in his heart. When he was about to say something else, he heard him speak slowly.

"But I'm a cripple, and this trial is still too unfriendly to me, so I decided to watch from outside."

"...Ah?" Vic was confused.

Before the two could react, Bai Wei put the chain in his hand into Ivina's hand.

"Haven't you always regretted not being able to pass this trial?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "Now is your chance to make up for that regret."

"...Ah?" Ivana was also confused.

…

The deepest part of the sacrificial site.

A body as huge as a mountain curled up on the last Senluo statue, as if it was eating or sleeping.

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed to realize something and slowly opened its eyes.

…

Vic and Yvina each stood in front of the door with chains tied around their waists.

Yes, Yvina finally agreed to participate in the trial with Vic.

It didn't take Bai Wei much effort to convince her. He just pointed at Vic and said, "He is the last hunter in your Senluo," and Ivana agreed.

Perhaps in her opinion, this was the last "pilgrimage" of the last hunter of Senluo and the last generation of saint.

After all, I have been guarding the sacrificial site with my grandmother for my entire life. It would be too sad if I didn't know what I was guarding until it completely disappeared.

"Miss Saint." After fastening the chain, Vic turned to look at Ivana, "Please believe me, I will not fall down."

Ivana nodded: "I believe you."

"Hmmmm...that's good." Vic kept scratching his head.

He is very nervous.

If it was Bai Wei on the other end, he might not be so nervous, because in his subconscious, Bai Wei was omnipotent. Even if he really slipped accidentally, with Bai Wei's unpredictable abilities, he would never die from a small iron chain, even if the chain came from the God of Senluo.

But if the target is Yvina...

Vic kept looking at Ivana's slender waist.

There is no doubt that once the chain is activated, Yvina will be broken into two immediately and no one will be able to save her.

So, after struggling for a while, Vic mustered up the courage to say to Ivana: "Miss Saint, if you really feel something, I mean...if you feel that I am about to fall, please jump before me, so that..."

"Please don't say such things!" Vic was interrupted by Ivana before he could finish his words, "And don't even think of that!"

Vic was stunned.

Ivana pointed to the road in front of her and said, "My grandmother told me that this road is not difficult to walk on. Even if there is no light, you can still walk it as long as you are careful enough. The most dangerous part is not the road itself, but people's thoughts."

"People's thoughts?"

"Yes." Ivana whispered, "Once you have a thought like that, you will keep thinking about it. In that environment, such thoughts will drive you crazy and make you do irrational things."

Yvina closed her eyes.

She is speaking from her own experience.

She remembered clearly what crazy thoughts she had when she was extremely devastated the last time she set foot on this road, even though the person on the other side was her grandmother.

So, Ivina didn't want this to happen again.

Ivana opened her eyes and said to Vic, "We don't have to think about anything. We just need to trust each other completely and go all the way to the end. Do you understand?"

Perhaps infected by Ivana's emotions, Vic nodded solemnly after a brief moment of daze: "I understand!"

Then he took the lead and walked into the passage in front of him.

The chain continued to stretch, and soon his figure disappeared from the two people's sight, as if swallowed by the darkness.

Immediately, the door on that side slowly closed.

Now...it's my turn.

Ivana took a deep breath, and just as she was about to enter, she suddenly felt her waist loosen.

She lowered her head and found that the chain had been taken off and was being held in Bai Wei's hand.

"Okay, wait outside." Bai Wei tied the chain around his waist with a smile, "Your work is done, Miss Saint."

"Next, it's a game between me and Him."
