Yin Tiger 4
As the name suggests, the Colosseum is a huge entertainment venue. People inside it have only three identities: workers, guests and waiters.
Li Heng and his companions came here as waiters, but the scope of their activities was extremely limited. They kept moving between the banquet hall and the guest rooms. Obviously, their status was not high enough, so they could only provide some basic services. Therefore, their mission [to investigate the identity of the owner of the Colosseum and the source of the slaves] was very difficult for Li Heng and his companions.
The environment here is very comfortable and prosperous, without the kind of horror experienced in the previous copy. Wherever you look, people are wearing gorgeous clothes and formal clothes. Their every move is elegant and graceful, showing the complacency and laziness of being in a high position.
Even a sweet-looking girl like Meng Yueyue was not harassed by anyone. When they saw the waiters, they would say a few polite words before expressing their needs.
Under the prosperity, the hearts of the newcomers are corroded. Most of them are ordinary people in this world. The life of decadence and debauchery only exists on TV and in novels. In real life, the so-called wealthy circle forms a solid barrier between them and ordinary people. Ordinary people can hardly grasp and imagine the life of the rich no matter how hard they try.
However, the players who were assigned to be waiters as soon as they entered the game lost their desire to explore the truth. In the magnificent hall, guests of all ages were toasting and socializing. Although they did not do anything to the waiters, their naturally arrogant attitude and the generosity they showed inadvertently won the favor of many players.
The players who were serving as waiters were not aware of their own safety at this time because these guests were afraid of the power of the Colosseum's owner.
They had witnessed the horrific decision made by the owner of the Colosseum when he got angry, and would throw the guests here into the Colosseum to feed the hungry and ferocious beasts.
The waiters only saw the surface beneath the prosperity.
Mu Ning, a waiter, sat on a stool next to the cocktail bar, looking at the crowd in front of him, fiddling with the wine glass out of boredom. The dazzling colors in the wine glass were like fallen angels, reflected in Mu Ning's eyes, flashing a different kind of brilliance.
Li Heng was behind the bar, skillfully flipping the cocktail shaker in his hand up and down. The sound of ice cubes and liquor colliding could be heard from inside. Even with such a handsome move, he was still concentrating on talking to Mu Ning: "It's been two days. In the last instance, half of the people died."
Mu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you want to say that this dungeon is difficult, or are you mocking yourself for doing nothing?"
The cocktail shaker flew from behind Li Heng. Li Heng caught it from the front and shook it. With his other hand, he took out a cocktail glass, put ice cubes, mint and lemon in it, opened the cocktail shaker and poured the liquid into it. One was shining with pink dreams, and the other was blue with white waves.
"Send it over. You're right. These are the 42nd and 43rd cups I made today. When I return to the real world, I can make some money from this."
Mu Ning drank the colorful wine in his glass, then took out a tray, put two glasses of wine on it and said, "Before the mission is completed, we still need to do some work that suits our status."
Li Heng smiled and didn't refute anything.
Mu Ning picked up the tray and left. She was wearing Mu Ning's waiter uniform, which enhanced her figure. However, as the ace of the special forces, Mu Ning behaved more neatly and freely. Her short hair enhanced her delicate face. Her serious expression did not make her look like a doll. Instead, she looked like an orchid that grew and bloomed on a cliff. Her tenacity revealed an aura of omnipotence, the aura of a strong person.
Qu Cheng was standing around the banquet hall at this time, as a waiter maintaining order on the scene. Just as Mu Ning said, while investigating the truth, they also had to do work that was in line with their identities. Only in this way could they avoid violating the rules of invisibility. This news was learned from a player who had passed a copy.
Mu Ning walked past Qu Cheng and asked, "Is that the couple over there?"
Qu Cheng nodded, Mu Ning understood, and passed by him.
On the other side, Meng Yueyue came to Li Heng with a tray and said, "Still no clues. I think I have walked more than 20,000 steps today."
Li Heng looked at the girl and said with a smile: "You can take a break here, there are not many people here." Then he started to mix cocktails.
"It's just that the information about those people is really hard to filter. I feel that this place is even more dangerous than the last instance. Now is the calm before the storm."
Meng Yueyue said to Li Heng, her chubby cheeks puffed up. She asked Li Heng: "Have you read the book you were awarded? Your captain has a face even colder than yours. I am more afraid of him."
"Then why aren't you afraid of me?"
Meng Yueyue's eyes twinkled as she said, "We've been through life and death together, why should I be afraid of you?"
Li Heng smiled: "But we didn't meet Mo Fan and the two brothers this time."
"Hey, I don't know how Brother Mo Fan and Brother Nan Yu will deal with their affairs after their death."
Li Heng said helplessly: "You and I may have different ideas."
"What?"
"I don't think they will die so easily. Don't you think we were kicked out in the last instance?"
Li Heng poured Meng Yueyue a glass of mineral water and pushed it to her, saying, "How can such a real world be so carelessly put all the truths in a book?"
Li Heng raised his eyebrows and asked.
Meng Yueyue frowned and thought, but unfortunately her head was full of strange and terrifying looks and those strange dead people.
“I don’t think it’s simple. Even if it is simple, you will die if you break the rules. When we entered the dungeon, we relied on the force of Brother Mo Fan. He is not a cold person. I like people like him…” She blushed after saying this.
"Yes, the angle I hadn't considered was that I might have followed him and was unconsciously influenced, so I could avoid violating the rules. Even if they were dead, I only saw those few players who sacrificed themselves. I might not even understand the rules, but I just took advantage of them and passed a dungeon."
Li Heng also subconsciously believes in Mo Fan unconditionally, perhaps because of Mo Fan's kind heart.
Li Heng did not realize that he would say so much to Meng Yueyue. The two of them had known each other for a short time, and it might be the intersection in the copy that allowed him to trust someone in a short period of time. However, this was not a good phenomenon, but Li Heng did not realize this. At the age of about 20, no matter how mature he looked on the surface, it could not cover up his naivety.
But this mentality is not stupid, but a belief in a better world. Just like now, after he entered the same copy with Captain Qu Cheng and Mu Ning, he now has a backbone like before. Li Heng only needs to do his job and not fall behind.
Time passed by inadvertently. Except for the death of someone in the Colosseum on the first day, the following days were peaceful. Since Gao Xu and his team entered this Colosseum dungeon, the difficulty of the tasks they received was much higher than that of Li Heng and his team.
The time goes back to the day when Yan Ke fell into a coma. Gao Xu, Fang Yu and others were locked in a room and received the task of becoming guests of the Colosseum.
On the one hand, Yan Ke was seriously injured because of them, and now his life or death is uncertain. They are in great pain and feel even more fearful.
On the other hand, after seeing the tasks posted, I had no idea where to start.
Even Luo Yue, who was usually calm, couldn't help but tremble in fear.
"Brother, will everything be okay?" Fang Yu murmured to himself. He was completely panicked at this moment. He knew that the reason why Yan Ke confronted the two giant beasts head-on was because he almost fell into the beast's mouth and became a delicious meal.
Gao Xu's brain was working fast, but because he had come into contact with too few things and had too little information, he couldn't sort out any useful clues. In addition, his girlfriend also came into such a dangerous place, his mind was very confused and it was difficult for him to sort out his thoughts. In addition, so many people died soon after entering the copy, and even Yan Ke was seriously injured. At this time, he did not think that Yan Ke was injured for them or because of Fang Yu, but the task to kill the two beasts was there. Nanyu and Yan Ke, as the people with the highest martial arts value among them, will sooner or later confront the two beasts head-on.
The reason why Yan Ke saved them was because it was within his ability. Gao Xu thought that if his fighting power was the same as Yan Ke's, he would not be able to do what Yan Ke did. The price he paid was a bit heavy. Even if there were conditions for treatment in the copy, Gao Xu would not take the risk. If he did not die in the Colosseum, dying on the operating table would be essentially the same.
At this time, Gao Xu did not think that Yan Ke had the conditions to escape death, but since Nan Yu was with Yan Ke, Gao Xu thought that Nan Yu would save Yan Ke at all costs. Maybe it was intuition, he felt that the relationship between Nan Yu and Yan Ke was not simple.
The longer they waited, the more their fear and suspicion grew, until a waiter knocked on the door and opened it for them.
"Hello, warriors, you have successfully killed two giant beasts and received gifts from the owner of the Colosseum. You can choose freely." The waiter was wearing a black tuxedo, with a tall and straight figure and an animal mask. He held a tray with cards on it, and the rewards for everyone were written on the cards.
"Can we each choose one?" Yuan Yuang asked timidly.
"Of course, warriors, you have the courage to fight two giant beasts. This is the prize you deserve. It must contain what you want, including freedom."
The waiter's animal mask was a tiger, in black and white. The crowd could not see the waiter's expression through the mask. They just stood there in a daze, trying to figure out what the waiter meant by his words for a long time and then started to discuss it.
"Freedom?" Fang Yu repeated, but he felt a dangerous message that went against freedom. He saw Gao Xu's hand reaching for the freedom card.
