Chapter 41 The Lost Ancient Country (8)
"What is this doing?"
As Osvid announced the end of the first act, many of the audience who were still struggling to survive on the ribbons returned to their seats in the blink of an eye. Before they had recovered from their shock, they heard the voice of "The second act begins."
The trio was lucky and did not suffer any persecution during the first scene. They just sat safely in their seats, but they clearly saw some audience members who were obviously players die tragically.
Guan Ciying tensed up and broke out in a cold sweat: "How many shows are there in the circus?"
"Five games. Don't worry. We'll prepare the props and act accordingly." Li Shuntong whispered, "This should be the screening mechanism set up by the game."
Just like every night of Werewolf, perhaps the circus performance also serves the purpose of eliminating players.
The only difference is that the werewolves are unscrupulous in public, while the civilians have to hide their identities to avoid being discovered by the werewolves about the special identities of the players.
"That being said," Guan Ciying complained, "Are you sure that all the players present can really calm down?"
If someone didn't think it through and used particularly obvious props or skills on the spot, it would be a good excuse to make trouble for Osvid!
The corpses seemed to be asleep, lying at the feet of the survivors, soaking the red chairs and carpets even darker red.
Gu Qiufeng suddenly heard a mechanical sound in his ear.
He glanced at the three people around him, and sure enough, they all had different degrees of movement.
It should be that the system is going to release messages uniformly.
Gu Qiufeng adjusted his sitting position, trying his best to prevent outsiders from observing the range of his movements.
[Beep—The Ancient Country Circus has begun! ]
[Before each scene officially begins, there will be a question, and players can choose whether to answer the question]
[Players who answer the questions correctly will receive the blessing of the "Angel Card" before the next performance]
Gu Qiufeng suddenly had a premonition.
This angel card may be referring to the special character card of the Son.
Although there is no angel character in ordinary Werewolf, the name angel, as the name suggests, means to protect people.
[Players who receive the "Angel's Blessing" will be granted the right to worry-free life for one round]
……really.
Because of his relationship with Arcana, and the fact that Gu Qiufeng was so familiar with pretending to be the Son of God, Osvid might not have suspected that the Son of God had actually been replaced long ago.
Even if Osvid is still in doubt about his identity, to be honest, just because of Arcana's identity, he would never dare to touch Gu Qiufeng in the slightest.
The safest person present was Gu Qiufeng.
Gu Qiufeng sighed.
Okay.
There was the girl from City D who worked in the Changyu Tavern, a healing player who was temporarily brought in and lent a hand to him when he was on the verge of life and death, and there was also the enthusiastic guide Lao Zhang. In short, Gu Qiufeng seemed to have owed a lot of favors to City D without realizing it.
The setting of this level is really simple. You just need to use props when necessary to save your life and survive to the end.
But facing Osvid was a group of D-level players who had no ability to pass the dungeon.
This simple level is a fatal gap for them.
[Question 1…]
Gu Qiufeng retracted his expression and looked at Osvid who was setting up the venue on the stage.
Osvid did not do anything himself; he just stood by with a cane, directing the employees.
A rectangular black table was brought up. It was covered with a tablecloth embroidered with dark patterns. In the center of the tablecloth, a very vivid eye was painted in red paint.
Gu Qiufeng frowned and vaguely saw a slightly rectangular box placed in the eyeball area.
What is it?
What new tricks will Osvid play?
Perhaps noticing the gaze, Osvid suddenly turned around and met Gu Qiufeng's eyes.
Under the light, he seemed to be covered with a thin halo, and with his blond hair, blue eyes and delicate and beautiful face, he looked somewhat holy.
But it was this person who had a devil living under his skin, and he had just carried out the first round of massacre in a joking way.
Osvid looked up at Gu Qiufeng from the stage with a smile on his face, and exaggeratedly bent over and extended his hand to him, performing a gentleman's salute like a medieval nobleman.
Gu Qiufeng silently looked away.
He discovered that Oswald had a bit of a crazy histrionic personality.
Gu Qiufeng planned to write down all of Osvid's performance and report it to Arcana when he returned.
According to the current logical chain, his main task is to investigate all the vampires before the Starlight Circus enters the palace to report to Arcana.
Therefore, it is unlikely that Arcana is an enemy on the opposite side of him. Arcana is most likely not a vampire creature.
But in this case, it didn't make sense why Akana chased him last night.
Could it be a trick of dual personality?
[Correctness rate of the first question: 32%]
[Will the angel bless all players who answer the questions correctly? ]
Gu Qiufeng paused, then secretly clicked "Agree" on the panel that suddenly appeared in front of him.
[“Angel’s Blessing” has taken effect]
Gu Qiufeng heard Guan Ciying let out a long sigh.
Judging from the relieved expressions on the trio's faces, they must have all been granted immunity.
Guan Ciying sighed softly, "I don't know which kind-hearted player the angel is."
They know that this is not the angel's duty. If the angel is a little more vicious, he can choose to refuse the blessing.
Anyway, no one knows what his cards are.
Gu Qiufeng's mouth twitched when he heard this.
I was suddenly disgusted by Guan Ciying's description of the Virgin Mary.
"Everyone," Osvid began, "the venue has been set up. Next, we will ask an excellent fortune teller to tell your fortune. Is there anyone who would like to come up and tell your fortune?"
The scene was silent for a while.
It was obvious that Osvid had bad intentions, and no one was a brainless idiot who would volunteer to die.
In the long silence, as Osvid's smile gradually faded, a kind of silent panic flowed out.
Osvid smiled and said, "Then I can just smoke it casually?"
He called a few pale-faced audience members to come on stage.
No one was rejected, and in the blink of an eye, these selected people appeared on the stage out of thin air.
"What bad luck," Guan Ciying whispered to Li Shuntong, "That player had exchanged clues with us before."
Li Shun said: "It should be that players who have not received blessings will be more likely to be chosen by Osvid."
Although they had turned down the volume, Gu Qiufeng could still hear it clearly.
He turned his gaze back to the stage.
A dark-skinned woman with long hair and wearing a purple cloak was standing behind the table. She had several crystal bracelets tied on her right hand, which made crisp clanging sounds when she swung her hand.
“First.”
Her voice was hoarse, somewhat like the sound of dry bark rubbing against the ground.
"The Hanged Man."
The player whose card was drawn turned pale.
The superficial meaning of the "Hanged Man" Tarot card is actually not so friendly.
He asked nervously, "Is this... accurate?"
The dark-skinned woman quietly watched his panic and then his rage, and suddenly she let out a sly smile.
"You'll know after you feel it."
Osvid tapped the ground with his cane and said, "It is forbidden to slander our employees."
Guan Ciying was watching in the audience and felt anxious for a moment.
This player had helped them when they first entered the dungeon, preventing Guan Ciying and the other two from exposing their identities as players and being targeted by the vampires on the first day.
"Is there really no way to help them?" Guan Ciying asked, "If you die in the dungeon, you really can't go back to City D!"
Li Shuntong shook his head with a grim look on his face.
The game is kind enough to allow them to gain protection once by answering questions.
But those questions are some applied common sense that can only be answered by people who frequently complete dungeons. It is difficult for players living in City D to protect themselves through these questions.
This is a drawback of City D.
Guan Ciying then looked at Gu Qiufeng who was beside Li Shuntong: "Holy Son!"
"I can't help it." Gu Qiufeng spread his hands, "Sorry."
He doesn't have any output skills now. The most he can do is to give the players who answered the questions correctly the "blessing" of not being selected in every round.
If Gu Qiufeng goes to rescue the players now, it will only make Osvid wary and suspicious of him.
Why should you risk your own life to ensure the safety of others?
He is not really a saintly son of light who is so kind as to need to save all living beings.
Guan Ciying's expression was obviously exhausted for a moment, but she soon stabilized her trembling breathing and stared straight at the mask on Gu Qiufeng's face with a cold sheen, "But this will kill more and more people. Holy Son, guess what the circus relies on to commit crimes for so many years without being discovered?"
Li Shuntong sighed lightly, but this time he just shook his head bitterly and did not stop Guan Ciying from continuing.
Guan Ciying continued to look at Gu Qiufeng and said firmly: "How did the vampires sneak into the capital in large numbers without being discovered? I have every reason to suspect that the circus used performances to replace all the audience with a large number of vampires!"
"Son of God, this show will not leave any lucky ones alone! We are all lambs to be slaughtered. Those who are not selected in each scene are just sentenced to suspended sentences."
Guan Ciying said, somewhat emotionally: "Isn't this enough to prove that you are helping us?"
Gu Qiufeng was silent.
Then he said, "Wait a little longer."
Almost there.
Before the second act officially began, Gu Qiufeng had a blank card in his hand.
That was the wooden figure he brought out from Fenghe's copy.
The wooden figure is small and hidden, making it the best choice for those who go out to seek help.
So Gu Qiufeng let it slip out to attract Akana.
Akana should not have returned to the palace yet.
Just have to wait a little longer.
Seeing that there were only a few players left who had been chosen, Gu Qiufeng couldn't help but use his tongue to push his teeth.
The third act is about to begin.
I don’t know if Arcana will be able to arrive in time.
