Chapter 156
This clown mask was very impressive, and since he had seen it before the game started, Moses recognized the person at the first sight. It was the newcomer of the Qinglong team! He just couldn't understand what the other party said for a moment. What did it mean that he owed him something and didn't pay it back?
But Moses didn't know, but Jeffrey and Wells knew it very well. They knew the identity of the person the moment they heard the voice without seeing the person, and their bodies stiffened for a moment. They did owe something, but they didn't know whether the other party wanted the so-called withdrawal application or... their lives?
The distance between the two sides was only a dozen meters. If one ran at full speed, it would only take a few breaths at most. However, the person who came seemed to be in no hurry. He walked slowly as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden. He held a dagger in each hand, and the blade flashed a creepy cold light, giving people a feeling of repressed fear for no reason.
Blake and Eugene retreated into the room, trying to find something to use as cover. Even though Kenny from the Mogrosa team, which is recognized as the strongest, cannot achieve a 100% hit rate, it is always better to be cautious. As a result, the two of them stepped into the door and turned on the light, but before they took two steps, the light above their heads suddenly went out without any warning.
Not only in the house, but also in the corridor.
The darkness came too suddenly, and everyone was stunned for a moment, then they immediately realized that the situation on the first night had happened again! However, the members of the Snow Wolf Team are happy about this, because the flickering light will affect vision and judgment, and has a great impact on people who are good at using flying knives. In addition, since there was only one person on the other side, they had a great advantage in an instant.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. What they are facing are not ordinary people, but cheating beings. Four seconds of darkness is enough to do a lot of things.
Jeffrey and Wells supported each other and finally pushed open the nearest door despite the severe pain. Both of them were injured. The enemy's flying knives were so terrible that they hit the fatal parts twice in a short period of time. Every step he took would cause the muscles near the wound to rub against the blade, which was right near his heart, and the pain was simply unbearable.
They can't help much in this battle and can only rely on Moses and the others.
The two men stopped at the entrance. Wells grabbed the door handle and was about to close the door. When he was about to get into the door frame, he suddenly felt a resistance that prevented the door from closing while exerting force inward, obviously trying to push the door in.
Although he couldn't see it in the dark, Wells knew it was the clown, and he was catching up!
He had personally experienced how strong the opponent was in the maze. Even when he was not injured, the possibility of him defeating the opponent was very low. Moreover, his injuries now seriously affected his ability to exert his strength. He could clearly feel that the door that was about to close was being pushed back little by little!
He couldn't let the other party in no matter what, otherwise he and Jeffrey would be finished!
Wells instinctively thrust his whole body forward. The moment it came into contact with the hard door panel, the knife embedded in his body was moved along with his muscles again. A huge pain came over him, and he couldn't help but roar, "Ah——"
They were not far away from Moses and the others. After hearing the noise, they asked, "What's going on?!"
Wells gritted his teeth and replied, "He's outside the door!"
The darkness passes and the light returns.
Wells only felt the power on the door disappear in an instant. The other party retreated too suddenly, and he had no time to react and retract his strength. Due to inertia, his body pressed the door shut quickly with a bang. The pain made him unable to control his body, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. In an instant, severe pain spread from the wound, and his internal organs seemed to be tangled by the knife. The pain was so severe that his eyes went black. He could no longer bear it and screamed, "Ahhh——"
After him, Jeffrey also fell to the ground. Because the two were very close to each other and had been supporting each other before, he was inevitably implicated. Jeffrey was really unlucky. He fell with his back facing the ground, and the injured part was also on his back. The moment his body touched the ground, the dagger stuck in his back, under the action of the powerful impact, not only the blade but also the handle pierced into his chest and went straight through!
"Ahh——" The indescribable scream makes people tremble in their hearts!
Outside the door, Moses and three others were fighting with the clown. The clown suddenly withdrew his hand that was about to push the door just now because they rushed up and he had to pull his hand back to resist their attack.
Generally speaking, if a person wants to achieve higher achievements in a certain field, he must invest more time and energy. However, people’s time and energy are limited. If too much of one aspect is occupied, one or more of the other aspects will be forced to be reduced.
Based on this line of thought, Moses inferred that the Joker was obviously very good at throwing knives, so he should be weaker in other aspects, such as close combat. But it doesn't matter even if the Joker is also very strong in this area. There are three of them, their skills, awareness and experience are first-class, and they have been working together for many years and have developed a strong tacit understanding. In a three-to-one situation, it is not too difficult to get rid of one person.
However, relying on the information provided by Wells, the three of them rushed over the moment the lights came on and dragged the enemy into the battle, but it was not as easy as expected. They performed normally and cooperated well with each other, but their enemies were unexpectedly strong. No matter from which direction the attack comes, no matter how tricky the angle, the opponent seems to be able to predict the direction and position of the attack in advance, and will move sideways, lean back, bend over, raise his hands or legs to block, and completely avoid it.
Moses' attack from the rear was blocked by the opponent's dagger. There was a slight sound when the swords collided. In an instant, he felt a huge force coming at him, which made the palm of his hand holding the knife numb and he almost lost his grip on the weapon.
Eugene swung his fist towards him, but the opponent blocked it with his elbow. The force concentrated in the fist seemed to be rebounded twice, and the entire right arm felt numb.
Blake had the same experience as them.
The enemy they were facing was like a monster. Its seemingly thin body concealed unimaginable terrifying power. At the same time, it was extremely agile, making people feel that it was difficult to defeat it!
Wells and Jeffrey's screams were heard one after another.
Moses winked at the other two and looked in the direction of the sound. That was the room where Jeffrey and Wells were hiding. Years of tacit understanding allowed them to understand each other without the need for language. Blake and Eugene responded with eye contact to show that they understood. When the lights went out and darkness fell, the three of them quickly withdrew from the battle. Blake was closest to the target location. He rushed to the door first, turned the doorknob to open it, but felt resistance when he pushed in!
He was stunned, and then became furious, "Fuck! It's us! Open the door!"
No one responded and the resistance behind the door still exists.
At this time, Moses and Eugene had arrived at the door one after another. The former said in a cold voice, "Just push it!" It was obvious that he didn't care about the situation inside, as long as he could achieve his goal.
Hearing this, Blake stopped talking and pushed the door open. The resistance was not as great as imagined, and it was pushed open in an instant. The moment the door opened, two more screams came from behind the door, and the direction of the sound was... below?
After the door opened, the three of them quickly entered the house. Eugene, who was the last to enter, closed the door and then stood with his back to the door with his feet two steps away from it, which was a posture of blocking the door. Considering the opponent's great strength, Blake also pushed forward.
But unexpectedly, the other party did not chase after him, and no sound could be heard outside the door.
The two people blocking the door subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but Moses frowned slightly in the darkness.
Soon the lights came on again, and in the bright light, Blake clearly saw two people lying on the carpet at his feet, their bodies pressed together, their faces pale, their hair soaked with cold sweat, their expressions distorted and horribly caused by pain, their breathing already very weak, and even though they were so close, he could only barely make out the rise and fall of their chests.
Blake was startled and quickly squatted down to check the situation.
Wells forced his eyes open and looked at him, saying with great difficulty, "Sorry... sorry... sorry!" Having struggled on the line between life and death several times, he knew his physical condition very well. The injury was fatal to begin with, and he had been tossed around like this several times. Unless he could be sent to the hospital immediately and undergo surgery, there was a chance he would be able to save his life. But now there is still nearly an hour left before the end of the game. He can't hold on until that time. Only death awaits him.
Perhaps it was because he was about to die, even though he did not get along very well with Moses and the others, he spoke much more calmly at this moment. The final hunting game hasn't even begun yet, and he and Jeffrey are going to die. By then, there will be only three people left in the team, and their strength will inevitably be damaged. But thinking back carefully from the moment they boarded the cruise ship until now, it seems that the two of them have not made any contribution to the team. Although it's not their fault, it's okay to say sorry at this time.
Moses squatted down next to him, and Wells was about to call him, "Captain..." Before he could finish the remaining word, his eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.
