Theoretically speaking, the black fog is Yue Qiong's special ability, which means that he can cut off as much consciousness as he wants and attach it to it, even if he puts his entire brain on it.
The false smile in the eyes above the mask disappeared, and Yue Qiong's face was expressionless.
——Fortunately, he didn’t do that, otherwise he would have been eliminated as brain dead.
Although we already know that Tang Xinjue has a toilet plunger in his hand, it is still far less impactful than seeing it from the first-person perspective.
Not to mention, this toilet plunger just swallowed up his black mist in one gulp, which was equivalent to eating up a part of his life value. Before that part of consciousness was annihilated, it also transmitted this experience back to the main body - his brain - in every detail.
Yue Qiong clenched his hands on the fence. Fortunately, the mask concealed the changes in his facial expression, making it impossible to tell that he was suffering from insufficient blood supply to his brain.
At the same time, on the balcony of Room 606, the first thing Tang Xinjue did after taking back the toilet plunger was to check whether the rubber head was damaged, and to see if he could spit out what he had just eaten.
Spit it out? Impossible. The toilet plunger refused to cooperate and even burped.
The remaining three people hurried over to watch as they finished dealing with the Poké Balls. "How's it going? Did you choke?"
Zhang You held the rubber head with a serious expression. "Everything seems to be normal at the moment. Xin Jue, make it spit out some water."
Tang Xin Jue pressed the water spitting button.
The toilet plunger is a weapon with a history of causing "indigestion", so Tang Xinjue does not intend to use its devouring ability again when he cannot be sure that the food is "safe".
But maybe because it was hungry, the toilet plunger couldn't wait to swallow the cursed black fog in one bite when it saw it.
Guo Guo looked from Tang Xin Jue to Zhang You, his eyes filled with confusion. "Wait, am I the only one with a problem? The rules prohibit candidates from attacking each other, right? The black mist is Yue Qiong's ability, and the toilet just now swallowed the black mist. This, this counts as an attack, right?"
She was afraid that the game would suddenly impose a penalty for violation and take away the toilet plunger!
Tang Xinjue remained calm, "What attack? Can eating be called an attack?"
The toilet plunger spit out a stream of water in agreement, hitting the cloak.
A dark gray light flashed at the handle of its metal rod, as if it was about to form a pattern, but in the end nothing appeared. There were still only the original three skull totems, representing [Shuttle], [Howl] and [Armor] respectively.
He successfully swallowed a portion of energy, but failed to inherit the attributes corresponding to this energy... Tang Xinjue's eyes moved slightly.
"It's a well-known fact that toilet plungers don't eat for no reason."
At first glance, Tang Xinjue's words sounded like a parent who mindlessly tolerated their naughty child's mischief, but after taking his words in, the three of them suddenly had subtle expressions.
Yes, the toilet plunger has always been very picky about the targets it devours - it only accepts special items containing ghost energy in the dungeon.
How did Yue Qiong's supernatural black fog pass this screening standard?
Tang Xin Jue smiled and said, "On the other hand, if the toilet plunger is swallowed according to usual habits, then it is indeed not violating the rules."
The rules didn't react, which meant that the "victim" black fog that was eaten was judged to be something similar to ghost energy... It no longer belonged to the category of players!
The four of them looked at each other, tacitly suppressed the shock in their eyes, and memorized this information.
This competition has new explosive information almost every second. If you play alone or are not good at analysis, you may have been dizzy by now, not to mention keeping up with the intense pace of the game.
But Tang Xin Jue can.
She absorbed all the information she had just digested. She didn't continue discussing the matter. She counted the seconds that kept passing by and looked down at the guardrail. "It's almost here."
The second wave of elves is about to appear.
In the sea of consciousness, at the other end of the spiritual connection, the shield girl's puzzled voice sounded: "What's coming?"
She was so busy helping fight monsters that she almost forgot to ask Tang Xin Jue. Now that she remembered, she immediately added, "By the way, you just told me not to let this boy stay on my balcony for too long. What did you mean?"
This time, she quickly heard Tang Xinjue's answer.
"The dormitory is where the students belong. If you can freely visit and hide between dormitories, have you ever thought about—"
"People with weaker abilities, people who can't catch elves, all want to hide in your place. What do you do?"
Shield girl: "..."
She realized it later and turned her head to look outside, catching many inquiring eyes looking in her direction.
If we ignore the danger of being exposed and attacking each other, climbing and crossing between dormitory buildings is not an unattainable challenge given the current physical fitness of the candidates.
“…”
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she heard someone say from the other end of her sea of consciousness, "Besides, the game never leaves us any room to exploit loopholes."
The shield girl's expression became serious.
She opened her mouth: "...You are right."
There are still two dormitories left in the informer camp, which means that at least 6 rules have not been announced. No one knows what behavior will violate the hidden rules and bring them fatal danger.
After the conversation ended, the shield girl turned to look at Ma Xiaobo and said, "I'll help you get back later. With the shield as a support, you shouldn't fall down halfway."
Ma Xiaobo scratched his head. Although he didn’t know why the boss suddenly changed his mind, it was a good thing that he could return to the dormitory safely.
So he thanked them repeatedly while looking down with a silly look on his face: "Then I'll tell my roommates... Lao Li, Lao Zhang, I'm here, you guys can pick me up later!"
Following the voice's call, two furry heads popped out from the first floor. Before Ma Xiaobo could smile, he saw the two heads shaking like two rattles:
"Catch that shit!"
As Ma Xiaobo was stunned, his two roommates pointed outwards with resentment. They saw huge blue-black bubbles starting to swell up in the strange fog outside the first floor, just like bubbles in boiling water. They were about to leave the ground and fly upwards.
In the moment I was stunned, my roommate had already quickly retreated into the dormitory, and only the echo of his angry roar lingered in the air: "I, your father, don't want to die so early!"
Bang, bang, bang—
The dark blue bubble flew up to three meters before suddenly exploding. Countless blue monsters, identical to the previous mutant elves, roared loudly and leaped down to the first floor!
Second wave!
In stark contrast to the first wave, the second wave of elves jumps up layer by layer starting from the first floor.
Almost immediately after this wave of elves appeared, several relatively weaker dormitories had already drawn their curtains and closed their doors. They would rather not score in these games than be caught in the air and then thrown down to their death.
As the rules suggest, the difficulty of catching elves increases: the more elves caught, the more difficult the next wave will be.
The first wave of elves could only spray venom, but the second wave learned to attack with their claws, and even to tear apart balcony structures such as guardrails and clotheslines, actively attacking the candidates' area.
"There are 20 of them in total. Their activity pattern is the same as the first wave. They are expected to reach us in one and a half minutes."
Tang Xin Jue came to the conclusion based on visual observation.
Zhang You asked, "How many will be left by the time they get to us?"
"About five."
"How many should we catch?"
Tang Xin Jue paused and said, "I want them all."
