Chapter 030 Mirage (VII)

As the lyrical classical music on the beach gradually came to an end, Feilin finally made a decision.

Just as she was approaching Dong Jin with her partner, preparing to switch to the same group with Dong Jin during the interval of exchanging partners after the music ended, Lei Ming on the other side looked at her as if he had noticed something.

Feilin, who was shocked by the inhuman feeling in those dark golden eyes, inevitably missed the best time to exchange.

When she came to her senses, the second song had already started playing. The mist that had risen from the sea at some point blocked her vision to a certain extent, causing her to temporarily bear with her patience and continue to jump with the previous person.

Dong Jin, who had his back to her, did not notice this little episode.

At this moment, he was concerned about the fog that gradually spread after the second song began, as well as the second song itself.

It was obviously not foggy now, and it was not the time for fog, and this song...

Listening to the sudden intense piano sound in his ears, and the familiar cello and violin sounds that gradually joined in, Dong Jin raised his eyelids and met the eyes of Lei Ming who happened to look down.

"Is this the opening song of your new opera?"

The song he had just heard today was so special that he would not forget it in a blink of an eye.

Dong Jin, who had a vague premonition that something was about to happen, asked Lei Ming in his ear as he approached with the music: "What bad idea are you planning again?"

Lei Ming smiled silently when he heard this.

He put one hand on Dong Jin's waist and held his slender pale hand with the other hand. It was not until the music changed key and a series of wind instruments joined in that he said in a cryptic way: "You watched the whole opera, but you don't know the name of the opera?"

Dong Jin really didn't know. As a person who sneaked in, could he expect others to introduce him to the music?

At this time, another burst of rapid drums sounded, directly bringing the whole song to a climax, and even the whole beach seemed to tremble with the drums.

Under this magnificent and bizarre symphony that didn't even sound like a dance, Lei Ming smiled and leaned over, his dark golden eyes locked tightly with Dong Jin's eyes and said, "Then you must remember, its name is - "Mirage."

The moment Lei Ming's voice fell, the originally thin fog on the coast suddenly turned deep and thick. Under the fog, the surging sea water rose higher and higher, and fell faster and faster. When everyone was caught off guard, the tsunami that covered the sky and the earth had already rushed in from the night.

"The tsunami is coming! Everyone run!!!"

The beach where the banquet was held was still some distance away from the ocean.

When the ground was shaking slightly, some people noticed something was wrong and tried to look towards the sea. Even though the fog was thick, some people saw the abnormal ups and downs of the sea water at the first time.

So long before the tsunami came, the panicked shouts had penetrated the music and echoed throughout the coast.

When the tsunami really came, most people had already run to the stairs high on the beach to watch it flood the original banquet site.

"Fuck! Who chose the venue for the party? Fortunately, the tsunami wasn't big, and fortunately I ran fast! If I had run a little slower, wouldn't I have drowned?!"

"Didn't they say the tsunami would come in ten days? What the hell is this? I don't want to play anymore, I want to go home now, get me off this island quickly! Organizers, did you hear me?"

When a group of anchors were thrown out of control by the sudden tsunami, the audience in their live broadcast room was also worried:

[It was too foggy just now so I couldn't see clearly, but it sounded like there really was a tsunami? Then why wasn't there any warning at all... Could it be that what the organizers had said before was true? Will there be another tsunami that will submerge the entire island in ten days? ］

［Look at those anchors, they are all soaked, it must be true. It's over, since the tsunami is real, then what the organizer said about "not being popular enough to leave" can't be true too? Is this organizer some kind of lawless lunatic? ! ］

［Let me tell you a scary thing. This island is in a very remote high seas, and now there is a tsunami and it is difficult to approach. If the organizer is determined not to let people leave, these anchors may not be able to leave in a short time...］

Silent panic quietly spread inside and outside the live broadcast room.

The popularity of all the anchors who started live broadcasts at this moment instantly soared. More and more people entered, but what they cared about was no longer the "uninviting challenge", but the life and death of these anchors.

A quarter of an hour later, this tsunami with loud thunder and little rain finally faded away completely.

At the same time, the voice of the organizer came through the radio on the beach: "Due to the tsunami, tonight's banquet will end early. I hope that in the next eight days, everyone will not be affected by the tsunami and will still arrive on time at 20:00 every night."

"I hope you can gather enough popularity as soon as possible and exchange for what you want."

The organizer's words made it clear that they would not let the anchors leave early.

For a while, those anchors who were not trialers were all excited and wanted to find the organizer to ask for an explanation, and some even took action.

The participants who had been prepared for this were hiding in the thick fog, thinking about how to pass the level. Within two minutes, some people chose to follow the local anchors who left, wanting to kill them directly and steal their popularity.

After a while, the beach, which was originally bustling with people, returned to silence, leaving only the previous music playing repeatedly.

"Now it sounds like this song is not suitable for dance music. But if it is used as the grand opening of the tsunami, it is quite suitable."

Dong Jin glanced at the player still operating stubbornly on the beach, turned around and said to Lei Ming beside him: "-After all, they are both part of the drama, aren't they?"

Because he was chosen by the God of Night, the fog in the dark night could not block Dong Jin's sight at all.

So when someone shouted "The tsunami is coming", Dong Jin subconsciously looked at the person, and then he clearly saw the word "monster" on the head of the shouter.

Obviously, like the previous trick of two men fighting for one woman, this tsunami is another self-directed and self-acted drama.

However, the latter is more clever and more dangerous.

The danger is so great that if enough people believe in a tsunami, the fake tsunami will actually strike like what happened just now. If

the panic of nearly a thousand people can cause a tsunami of that magnitude, then what about ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, or even a hundred million people?

Lei Ming had no intention of hiding the fact that Dong Jin saw through everything.

As early as when he found out that Dong Jin had sneaked into the theater and listened to the entire opera, he realized that this human was likely to have guessed something. The reason why he specifically told Dong Jin that the opera was called "Mirage" was to test how much he had guessed.

And when he saw that Dong Jin even had the leisure to take a bottle of mineral water from the buffet table when someone shouted that a tsunami was coming, Lei Ming realized that Dong Jin already knew everything.

- A tsunami can change from false to real because of people's emotions, but it can never hurt those who don't believe in its existence.

Today, all the other humans on the platform were soaked by the splashes of the tsunami, except Dong Jin, who was not wet at all from beginning to end.

The reason why he looked wet now was just because he opened the mineral water bottle that came with it and poured it on his head.

At that moment, Lei Ming, who saw this scene clearly in the dark night and under the thick fog, wanted to laugh out loud.

He always appreciated drama, and even more so the absurd drama with surprising twists and turns. As the only unexpected visitor in the whole drama, Dong Jin really fascinated him uncontrollably.

So the next second, he couldn't help but invite him:

"Since you know everything, then Dong Jin, do you want to be the best protagonist of this drama?"

Of course, he still wanted to kill Dong Jin, but this did not prevent him from wanting to see how far Dong Jin could go.

Will he choose to be a defector who watches from the sidelines, or a savior who overestimates his own capabilities?

No matter which one Dong Jin chooses, the ending of this drama will only be a tragic ending with his death.

In response, Dong Jin just smiled coldly.

The opening song has just sounded, and it is still unclear who will write the play and who will take the lead.

Even though Dong Jin deliberately did not say harsh words to arouse Lei Ming's vigilance, Lei Ming seemed to understand his idea at this moment.

So he playfully took off his half-wet coat and threw it to Dong Jin, then turned around and left.

He sincerely expected Dong Jin to bring him a unique drama. Before that, this fragile human being should not leave early because of a cold.

Not a minute after Lei Ming left, Feilin, who was not far away, quickly groped over and called out to Dong Jin, who was also preparing to return to the B&B.

"Dong Jin, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Perhaps the failure of the previous dance partner exchange made Feilin anxious. She had prepared several times in her mind and told Dong Jin everything she felt without taking a breath: "That guy named Xite tried to kill you more than once today."

"We are from the same universe. I may die in any copy. By then, I still hope that you will win the final FMVP and revive the entire universe. For this reason, I hope you believe that what I say next is true."

"Xite had murderous intentions outside the B&B during the day, and when we were dancing today, he was shouting that he wanted to kill you every minute. Just now, even though I didn't see him, I could feel his exaggerated murderous intent."

Feilin felt a little unbelievable as she spoke: "What on earth did you do to him? It's only been two days, even if you dig up someone's ancestral grave, you might not be hated to this extent. Not to mention that it wasn't just pure hatred..."

Feilin recalled the strangeness she felt after paying the price at the dance, and simply said it out loud and let Dongjin worry about it: "Xite is really weird."

"His superficial emotion is a strong desire to kill, but when you were dancing, I also felt a complex emotion from him that he himself was not aware of. The depth of that emotion is simply unheard of."

"Maybe he is a love brain, and he fell in love with you at first sight without knowing it?"

Don't talk about love brain and love at first sight. The real love brain is still watching outside the copy.

As for the murderous intent... He did not dig up Lei Ming's ancestral tomb, he just pried his savings for 10,000 years.

And the other deep emotion that Feilin sensed was probably Lei Ming's emotion before he lost his memory.

Before he lost his memory, Lei Ming's emotions towards him were of course complicated, and they were the kind of complicated that he was entangled in whether to skin him alive or to cut him to pieces.

If he wasn't still useful now, and they had reached a temporary agreement, the whole universe might have known the ten thousand ways he could die.

Dong Jin had no way of explaining all of the above to Feilin, and he didn't want to reveal too much in front of the audience outside the dungeon. So he didn't ask in detail, but just changed the subject calmly and said:

"Xite and I do have some grudges, but as long as I'm in a stable mood, he can't kill me for the time being."

Regardless of whether Feilin's purpose of reminding him was as she said, Dong Jin didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

The last time he owed a favor to Lei Ming, he had to fight with him for the God's Choice, and even had to endure the guy making things more difficult for him from time to time. He really didn't want to encounter such troubles again.

Considering that Feilin would sooner or later discover the truth of this copy with her talent, if he said too much at this moment, it might affect the final evaluation of her copy. In the end, Dong Jin just tactfully reminded: "In fact, Xi Te seems quite calm on the surface. It seems that this copy has taught me one thing - what the eyes see is not necessarily true."

Dong Jin said while adjusting the suit jacket thrown by Lei Ming. After Feilin was attracted by the abnormally dry jacket, he looked directly into Feilin's eyes and said the second half of the sentence. After thinking about

it for a while, this woman with high IQ and EQ obviously understood something.

What you see with your eyes may not be true. Is this saying that there was something wrong with the tsunami just now?

Speaking of which, when she passed by some guys who were either humans or monsters while running away, she did not feel any panic from them. At that time, she thought that they were too mentally strong, but now it seems...

Dong Jin and Feilin exchanged a look that showed that they knew everything, and then they walked towards the B&B together.

After just two steps, he and Feilin stopped at the same time.

Dong Jin was because he saw two people in front of him, hiding in the thick fog, looking at him recklessly, while Feilin, who could not see through the fog, felt the vague malice in front of her.

So Feilin whispered to Dongjin, "There are people ahead. Those two are hesitant. They are probably thinking whether to attack us or not."

Dongjin looked at the words "Trialist" on the heads of the two people ahead and replied calmly,

"It's not us. They are only targeting me. If a fight breaks out later, you should run away first."

He was the top MVP of the previous dungeon, and it was a matter of time before he was targeted. But this matter had nothing to do with Feilin, and she was obviously not good at fighting. Staying would only hinder her.

Feilin also knew her own limitations. Her friendship with Dongjin was not life-threatening.

So she agreed directly and never thought of playing the "I won't leave" game.

At this moment, the two men in front seemed to realize that they had been discovered. Perhaps after weighing the benefits of success and failure and the success rate of the sneak attack, they felt that it would not work. After struggling again, they finally chose to retreat.

But Dongjin knew that this time he was only stopping temporarily.

When the news of monsters killing people or trialists killing people came out tomorrow, he would still have to face these trialists.

Feilin on the side also understood this truth.

She was not very good at fighting, so she could not help Dong Jin much. She just gave him the information she had just collected:

"I tried to read their minds just now. One of the two people seemed to have the talent of shapeshifting. He wanted to become your appearance after killing you. But I can't see their faces, so I don't know which one of them it was."

Mind reading is really powerful sometimes.

Dong Jin sighed in his heart and expressed his gratitude to Feilin.

"There's nothing to thank me for. You are the MVP of our universe, and the No.1 in another sense. Helping you is equivalent to helping our entire universe. Not only me, as long as you ask, I think most people in our universe are willing to help you."

As an intelligence dealer, she knows better than anyone what Dong Jin means to their universe.

Whether it is the people who died in the first trial or the people who think they can't survive the next six trials, when "The Devil" sounded, they regarded Dong Jin as the savior who is most likely to revive the entire universe.

What she said to Dong Jin before was the truth.

After all, she is one of those who are hopeful.
