Chapter 143143
The lights in the corridor kept flickering for four seconds. Now it was time for everything to return to darkness.
There was a muffled groan, and a moment later there was the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Derek and Martin went center. The sound came from the front, and that was exactly where Martin was. Almost at the same time as he heard the sound, he subconsciously stretched his hand forward. This was a subconscious reaction and his brain had not yet reacted. However, he was ultimately unable to catch his teammate's falling body, which led to the subsequent noise.
In the darkness, I couldn't see what was happening. However, they had carefully observed the area around the door with the help of the light coming in from the corridor before coming in and when they retreated just now, and there was no enemy ambush at all! There were no guns, let alone any sharp weapons like bows and crossbows. It was okay for Groot, who was walking alone in one direction. If something happened, he could say that the other party was hiding in the dark. But how should he explain Martin's matter? They were so close, he didn't even see the enemy, and then something happened to Martin!
Fear is relative. Everyone is afraid of something. The only difference is whether it is obvious or not, and the things we are afraid of are not the same. Even in different situations, the things and degrees of fear will be different. The lights flickered on and off for a total of eight seconds, and Isaac's team lost its first teammate. When the light shone again, what they waited for was not hope and results, but another loss. This time it was four seconds. They lost their second teammate, and the total time was only twelve seconds.
"Martin!" At this moment, the string of reason in Derek's mind suddenly broke. He didn't care about anything else and shouted out, his voice mixed with sadness and fear.
Isaac's team has always been successful. Every mission they take on may have twists and turns to varying degrees, but they will always be completed successfully in the end. Even in a highly difficult dungeon like the Sea Hunting Ground, where all the gods gathered to fight, they still managed to clear it safely twice. This was the third time. Although they had a bad start and came in last, which was a bit of a blow to morale, it was not really something difficult to accept for them.
But they never expected that they would fail in the second game before the main event began.
Before the dagger was shot out, Jing Ling knew the result. The enemies he faced were undoubtedly strong and had rich combat experience, but they were always within the range of normal people. But he is different. Not only does he have hearing and sense of smell that are several times better than that of ordinary people, he can also see normally in the dark, and his reaction speed and physical strength exceed the limits of the human body.
His enemies had no way of evading silent sneak attacks in the dark, but he was able to completely avoid the same situation. The dagger broke through the air, and the torn air around it produced a certain frequency of vibration. This change was very subtle and normal people could not detect it at all, but he could feel it. It has nothing to do with hearing. This is a skill that I exchanged from the system in order to save my life in a battlefield full of flying bullets. Although the system is no longer there, this body has perfectly inherited everything it once had.
In fact, he could have acted earlier and used the darkness to hide himself more easily without being discovered by the other party, but he didn't. Because there is a high-definition night camera in this room, it is pitch black here for other people. Only the flickering lights in the corridor can illuminate the limited area. However, for Jing Ling and those who are watching the show sitting behind the monitor, they can still see it clearly. Similarly, in the eyes of those people, Jing Ling should also be one of the invisible people.
His ability to walk freely in the dark could be explained by his memorization of the map. After all, in the previous maze game, he had shown everyone his strong memory. If he can memorize complex and ever-changing maze maps, then the terrain of a small movie theater is no problem at all. However, killing the intruding team member with one strike, with the targeted mouth-covering and throat-cutting actions without any deviation, is not so easy to explain. The next move of using a flying knife to kill someone was outrageous. Although there were indeed experts who could shoot darts blindfolded, that was based on the premise that the target was fixed. The current situation was that he only had this dagger for self-defense and combat, and his teammate was a pure auxiliary professional with almost zero combat power, while there were still four enemies left on the field. If you are not sure of a one-shot kill, it would be an act of idiocy to just throw your only weapon away. Likewise, in complete darkness, how else can one be able to accurately hit a moving target's eye socket with absolute certainty, other than being able to see clearly despite the darkness?
Luck? I guess even children wouldn’t believe this kind of statement!
Human eyes can see things because of the diffuse reflection of light by objects. In a dim environment, the clarity of what the human eye sees depends on the rod cells in the retina. In a completely dark environment like the one we have now, human eyes cannot see anything at all!
Jing Ling didn't want to bet that the audience sitting in front of the screen were all fools, or that they didn't notice his abnormality for a moment, allowing him to safely pass through this period of time at sea. This ability beyond common sense could not help but arouse curiosity among people, so they sent him for slice-up research on a whim. After all, like the more than 30 other participating teams on this cruise ship, their lives are in the hands of others. In order to leave alive, in addition to winning the final victory, you also need to know how to hide.
If he was accidentally exposed, leaving aside the issue of failure to complete the mission, even if he could escape by luck with his incredible skills, what about the other four people? If all these people died and he was the only one who returned alive, he probably wouldn't be able to survive in the country. You have to know that none of these four families are easy to mess with. Although the news of the hunting ground is hidden, it is not a problem for them. Just ask a few teams participating in the game. Even if you don’t know the whole story, you can know that the cause of the incident lies with him.
Of course, capable people can live anywhere, not to mention that the planet is so big that there is more than one country, so he can live a happy life abroad. But what about Yunshu and Jingqiu, what should they do? Don’t forget the word “vent your anger on others”.
It's a big bold pill.
When people have something to worry about, they often need to consider more situations when doing things. And precisely because of these considerations, Jing Ling could obviously easily defeat the enemy, but in the end he still had to choose the right time and attack at the moment when the lights went out.
After a successful strike, it quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Vaughn, I saw you smile. Did you draw team number one?"
It was already late at night, but in the luxurious cinema on the cruise ship, several elderly men who organized the game and set the rules behind the scenes were still there. Although they looked slightly tired, their expressions were at another extreme compared to their energy at the beginning of the night.
Upon hearing this, Fu En, a thin man with silver hair, smiled and replied, "Although my luck is not good, it is not too bad either. I lost the last round, and after the draw for this round, I thought I would lose another round and could only wait for the third game or the final hunting ground to make a comeback. I didn't expect that the goddess of luck would start to favor me now!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and the beautiful waitress standing in the corner, who was wearing a tight uniform and had a hot body and curvaceous figures, took the box that belonged to him on the table.
Even though it is just a container for ordinary things, its workmanship and materials are top-notch. Against the backdrop of a beautiful woman's hands, it looks even more exquisite and perfect.
The blonde waitress brought the box to Vorn and opened the lid. Five exquisitely crafted small balls lay quietly at the bottom of the box, with two numbers facing upwards, 12 and 19, but they were not his target. He reached out and found the ball with the number 1 printed on it that he wanted from the remaining three balls, held it in his hand and showed it to others.
Not only did the teams participating in the game need to draw lots, but several people sitting in front of the big screen watching the show outside the venue also played the drawing game. Since there were a total of 32 teams and only six people present, it was impossible to divide the number equally if it was an integer, so everyone drew five teams based on luck to bet on, and the last two teams were left with a bye and did not participate in the final victory or defeat.
"It's you." Joe was sitting on the tiger-skin sofa, his handmade dress still without a wrinkle as before. "It's true that the goddess of luck has blessed us. Although the clown of Team One is really lucky, his two teammates are too unexpected. It's hard to imagine what the fox was thinking to bring two ordinary people here!"
Raymond next to him drank the wine in his hand and continued, "So we don't think Team One can win this round, and we even have new ideas about the outcome of the final hunting game. Even if those two ordinary people can survive this game by chance, they are destined to become a burden in the end."
What they said revealed the same meaning: they all thought the fox's team was bound to lose.
However, the facts were beyond their expectations. Not long after the game actually started, Isaac's team, which was the last in the draw, collided with the Fox team, which was the first in the draw. All five members of Isaac's team were there and all the team members were elites who had successfully survived the hunting grounds, while the Fox team was scattered. There were two people in total, but in reality it could only be counted as one or even less. After all, they had to distract themselves to take care of completely useless teammates, so their original combat effectiveness was inevitably compromised.
In such a situation, no matter how you look at it, the final winner will be the team ranked last.
The final result was a confrontation between the two sides, or it would be more appropriate to say that the Joker, a member of the Fox team, unilaterally suppressed Isaac's team. In less than twenty seconds, he easily eliminated two members of Isaac's team, but they didn't even know which team the enemy was, how many people there were, or where they were.
"There is no doubt that this killing in the dark is exciting, but I want to know more about his limit. How about giving him a little surprise? Vaughn, what do you think of this proposal?"
