Chapter 109 Talking
By the time Bai Mengmeng began to regret, the preliminaries finally began.
The contestants passed through security check and then entered the venue.
The so-called security check is actually not a machine, but an old man in security uniform who looks at every contestant.
Suddenly, he looked at one of them.
"Stand up!"
"Don't you know that you can't bring any talismans?"
The person being pointed out was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, and he was trembling with fear.
"I...I'm not wearing anything, this is...it's my pecs!"
However, a water ball appeared in the old man's hand, crackling and flashing with lightning: "I give you three seconds!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man burst into tears, quickly took out a bunch of talismans from his pocket, and handed them over with a pale face.
The old man was satisfied, then turned his gaze to look at a man hiding at the back.
"Why are you holding an umbrella? You can only use your natal weapons in the preliminaries, don't you know?"
At the back of the crowd was a very beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties, holding a large outdoor parasol.
The woman swallowed her saliva and said calmly: "This, this is indeed my life-long weapon."
The old man's tone was a little more disdainful: "I will watch you, and you must use this umbrella for the next game!"
The people watching the game on the first floor suddenly laughed.
Sun Emma was also laughing non-stop at this moment: "This person must be a contestant from last year. He must have been traumatized by last year's sandbags. He actually brought such a big umbrella this year."
The beautiful woman found that the umbrella was useless, and her face suddenly became gloomy. She walked to the side and changed it for a big knife. She didn't expect that her life weapon was actually a knife.
Bai Mengmeng looked at him with excitement. This old man was really capable. His eyes were like human radar.
I have to say that there are indeed many experts in the mutual aid association, even the security guards are so strong.
The second floor covers a large area and there is nothing inside, so even though there are many contestants, it doesn’t feel crowded at all.
Bai Mengmeng also discovered that the ceiling, walls and floor on the second floor seemed to be specially made.
After everyone entered the venue, the host also appeared wearing a helmet and a bulletproof vest.
"This year's rules are a hail of bullets. After the game officially begins, bullet-launching devices will appear around the walls. Anyone hit by them will be automatically eliminated. Now, the game begins..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the roar of a machine on the second floor. He didn't dare to continue speaking, and quickly got out of the venue and closed the door tightly.
Then a uniform sound was heard.
Suddenly, many small black holes appeared on the ceiling and walls of the second floor, and then many gun muzzles were pointed at all places in the venue.
"Oh my god, it's gotten so outrageous this year! I'm glad I didn't participate!"
Even the contestants didn't have much time to prepare. Soon, bullets were fired one after another, and the room was suddenly filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves.
"Are you trying to kill someone..." Bai Mengmeng was also shocked.
After a while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was so scared that she thought a real bullet came out of the bullet hole.
However, it is not actually the case. There are colorful bullets inside the wall, which are filled with a large amount of paint. But even so, they will probably not be able to hit you if they hit you.
At this time, many people on the scene could only flee around with their weapons, completely unable to fight back.
There are even some people who are not very strong but have very vicious minds. They directly use others as shields. However, because the bullet holes are too dense and there are no blind spots in all directions, even so they cannot escape.
Of course, there are also many people who are at ease.
For example, the woman who had a parasol before, although she no longer had an umbrella, now had a knife, and she was still waving it vigorously, and all the bullets were blocked by the knife.
The people of the Silver Sword Sect even put up a collective defense. The disciples set up a sword formation and took turns firing bullets out. It was relatively easy for them, but the people around them suffered as a result.
The men from the Bull Run Gate were all strong and powerful, but at this moment, it was difficult for them to hide, so they directly adopted the tail-cutting tactic, keeping the strongest contestant in the middle, so that at least someone could advance.
Bai Mengmeng stared at the screen intently, and at this time Sun Emma patted her from the side.
"Song Siyu, look, it's amazing!"
Song Siyu awakened his water talent, so he put something like a water film on his body. It looked like it had very strong protective power. When bullets hit it, it was like they were stuck in a quagmire and could not get close at all.
He stood there with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed.
"You're such a good pretender!" Huaguduo stomped her feet, looking somewhat dissatisfied.
Liu Yanghe was now feeling rather disappointed: "They both have water-type talents, so why is there such a huge difference?"
Basically, after scanning a few times, there are only a few people who don’t have paint on their bodies.
Bai Mengmeng was thinking about how long she could persist.
The host poked his head out, took a wary look, and then said, "The game is over!"
Then there was the sound of a machine, and the muzzle of the gun retracted into the wall with a click, and the wall returned to its original state.
"It's amazing! It must be very difficult to make such a mechanism. I wonder how much it will cost!" Wang Hao loves these things the most. He can't wait to run up and take down the wall panels to study them carefully.
"This is the product of Xuanji Sect. This e-sports stadium is the industry of their sect." Sun Emma was explaining to everyone on the side.
Those who were eliminated returned to the first floor from the second floor, while those who successfully advanced continued to stay inside.
There were quite a few people on the second floor before, but after the barrage of bullets, only a small number of them were left, about a dozen or so. This surprised Bai Mengmeng. No wonder this skills competition was over in just a few days.
It turns out that not many people made it through the preliminaries, so naturally there are even fewer people who enter the official competition.
"Actually, the reason the qualifiers were made so difficult and so many contestants were eliminated was for our own good. You may have noticed that the vast majority of the contestants aren't very talented, and are about the same level as me. People like them are courting death by participating."
Sun Emma sighed from the side.
I don’t know whether I’m feeling sorry for herself or for the current environment.
"Although I claim to have a talent for fire, I only know one spell, Fireball. Even if I get a chance to participate in a competition, am I supposed to just use Fireball to light someone's cigarette?"
