It was obvious that the man in the flying fish suit had achieved his goal.
Xia Xiaoyan covered her lips tightly with her hands, her eyes wide open; even Xia Chongde, who had been cursing non-stop, was silent at this moment.
The man in front of him was dressed exactly like the Black Dragon Guard.
He really can kill people!
Although everyone still doesn't know why they are here and how to leave.
But at least, everyone at the moment is not stupid. They know that the most important thing at this moment is to save their lives!
The state where you can hear a pin drop makes time seem to be frozen.
Very long.
Only Xia Xiaoxian remained awake. She observed the other eight people carefully, and even felt a little desire in her heart.
If she had her memory wiped like the other eight people and was completely immersed in this story-based killing, would she perform worse than them?
The curve of Xia Xiaoxian's mouth corners was a little exaggerated.
Seeing everyone's unanimous silence, the man in the flying fish uniform continued with satisfaction in his voice, "There is only one reason why you are gathered around this round table."
He paused briefly, which made his voice sound more passionate: "That is, everyone here needs to work together to complete a task."
"After the mission is completed, you will be able to leave here smoothly."
"What kind of mission?" Xia Chongwen, who had been silent since waking up, finally couldn't help but ask, "What will happen if it can't be completed?"
His expression was extremely calm, without a trace of emotion.
Xia Xiaoxian observed him more carefully, afraid of missing any details.
Because she knew that only when she completely forgot her own identity and then acquired the information of a new character, could she truly show Xia Chongwen's inner world.
It's hard to tell what Xia Chongwen is like at this moment. He's the eldest grandson of the emperor who is loved by everyone in Kyoto, who even seems a bit silly and kind to others.
Xia Xiaoxian narrowed her eyes.
"Nine dogs and one mastiff, have you heard of it?" A barely perceptible hint of amusement flashed across the eyes of the man in the flying fish suit.
"Well, that's the name of this mission."
"etc..."
Xia Linan suddenly pointed at Xia Chongwen and said, "Putting aside the content of the mission you mentioned, I also want to ask the same question as him: what will happen if the mission fails?"
Although his voice was still low and calm, beads of sweat were already appearing on his round face.
Xia Xiaoxian shook her head secretly and said, Lin'an, you are really a little bloated.
The man in the Feiyu suit glanced at Xia Linan with disdain and said, "Nine dogs and one mastiff! Just by listening to the name of the mission, you can probably guess the consequences of failure..."
Although the man in the flying fish suit did not clearly state the consequences, everyone understood what he meant.
The ending should be the same as Xia Yongan, who is no longer breathing.
Mission failed, die!
Nine dogs and one mastiff!
Among the nine people, only one can get out alive!
However, everyone also understands that whoever gets out alive will become a god in this life!
Therefore, although everyone looked at each other, no one made any comment.
Even on the faces of those young men, one could vaguely see some desire to complete the task.
"It seems that everyone has understood what I mean. Then, let the first level of the mission officially begin!"
"The first step of the mission is to find the 'Trickster'!"
"Everyone here must tell the last story that happened before you came here."
The man in the flying fish uniform paused again. "When everyone has finished telling their story, everyone will make their choice. If all eight choose 'Trickster,' then the 'Trickster' mission will fail, and the others will pass. If one person chooses the wrong one, then the 'Trickster' mission will succeed, and everyone else will fail."
"The Trickster?"
Everyone's eyes on the other eight people became complicated.
"Can we form an alliance freely and discuss countermeasures?" Xia Chongwen once again showed his intelligence, which was not as simple as Xia Xiaoxian had heard.
"Okay!" the man nodded, "but only this once!"
After saying that, the man in the flying fish suit stepped back seven or eight steps, turned around, and no longer looked at the people in the room.
Seeing the man retreat, Xia Chongwen suddenly said seriously, "No matter what we do in this first stage of the Black Dragon Guard mission, someone will fail, and someone will die like him!"
He glanced towards Xia Yongan's position, indicating the result of everyone's failure.
"But if there is a way to keep everyone alive..."
The other eight people, including Xia Xiaoxian, cast suspicious eyes on Xia Chongwen.
Everyone succeeded in the mission?
How is that possible?
"What if all of us choose not to be the 'trickster'?" Xia Chongwen guided the other eight to consider this mission from a different perspective. "What if all nine of us choose not to be the 'trickster' and all directly tell the Black Dragon Guard that there is no such thing as a 'trickster' here? In that case, wouldn't we all be able to successfully pass the first level?"
"Well said, don't say it next time!" Xia Linan's chubby face was filled with sarcasm. "What if you happen to be the 'deceitful one'?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Xia Linan's words.
Yes, if Xia Chongwen chooses to be a "trickster", wouldn't he be the only one left alive?
"Am I such a despicable person?" Xia Chongwen's face was filled with anger. "If I were the 'deceitful one', why would I make such a suggestion?"
"Out of nine people, only one can escape alive. Who do you think is trustworthy?"
Zhang Mingyu's gentle and sweet words completely made everyone present no longer hide their desire to survive.
They didn't even want to make eye contact with each other anymore.
I worry that others can read my true thoughts from my eyes.
Once again, everyone was silent.
......
"The time is up, you can start your mission." The man in the flying fish suit turned around and walked to the round table.
In his hands were some wax-sealed letters.
"Everyone, please come and receive your letterhead."
Xia Chongwen's expression faltered slightly as he asked in confusion, "What...is this?"
"This is your exclusive secret letter for the mission, and it also represents your true identity."
The man's ugly face was slightly undulating. Xia Xiaoxian guessed that the man must have a smug smile on his face at this moment.
