Chapter 158
"What's wrong?" Moses said as he stood up and looked at Eugene who had just mentioned this. The blade in his hand was stained with fresh blood. The dazzling red liquid dripped down the blade and disappeared into the carpet.
Eugene naturally also saw this scene, and before Moses looked over, he had already lowered his head. His expression looked the same as always, but his eyelids were drooped and the expression in his eyes could not be seen clearly. "I think the timing of the Joker's appearance is a bit wrong. We searched all the way over the corridor, and except for the two people we just dealt with, we didn't see anyone before. He should be alone, and it doesn't make sense for him to act rashly against our entire team. Although it turned out that he was very powerful and could escape unscathed even with five people, this makes people more suspicious. If his purpose was just to get points from the beginning, he should have left directly after hurting... two of us, instead of staying to fight with me and suddenly retreating when we were evenly matched."
"They were ranked first when the points ranking was first announced, but until now when the game is almost over, the score has not changed. It is very likely that there is a problem with the team itself, right? So I always feel that he is doing this to deliberately divert our attention. There may be something hidden in this area, such as his teammates."
The point raised by Eugene is indeed very suspicious. Moses nodded and arranged, "First find something to cover yourself, and then continue searching downwards to see what's going on." After he finished speaking, he walked directly to the door, pulled the door handle to open it a crack, observed the situation outside through the crack, and only went out after making sure there was no problem.
Eugene followed closely behind, and when he passed Blake, he whispered, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Blake responded, and finally took a look at the two bodies on the ground, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. He turned around and took two steps, then suddenly stopped, turned back, squatted beside the corpse, and reached out to close the eyes of Wells and Jeffrey.
"Feel sorry……"
The sound was so faint that it disappeared into the wind.
The three of them continued searching from the room they were about to go to before the accident happened. They searched one room, two rooms, and three rooms. Everything was normal. When they searched the fifth room, they finally found evidence to prove that Eugene's guess was correct - seven bodies in a row, scattered in various corners of the room, the bathroom, the closet, under the bed, the balcony... The blood on the wounds had not yet coagulated, and it was obvious that the person had died not long ago.
The strong smell of blood filled this small space, almost suffocating people.
"Captain, this..." Eugene looked at the room full of corpses and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Moses stood beside the closet, looking at the lifeless body with its head tilted. His face was frighteningly gloomy. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out three words from between his teeth, "Miscalculated!"
He knew very well what everything in front of him meant. The people of the Qinglong team were actually taking nutrients! The so-called problem with the team, the points have never changed from the beginning to the end, it is simply a means to confuse their vision! No one would have thought that under such circumstances, they would dare to play the nutrient trick and luckily succeed!
Seven heads equaled 140 points, plus the original points, the Qinglong team's points instantly increased from 350 to 510. Adding the number plates in their hands, the team's final points might even exceed 600 points!
If there is no major change, the first place in this game has already been secured by the Qinglong team!
It was really ridiculous. He had been dreaming of the top two spots, or even the first place, but now he could only compete with the other two teams for the second place. There was not much time left before the end of the game, but his team was still at a disadvantage.
At 11:30 at night, with only half an hour left until the end of the game, the points rankings of all teams were updated again.
During the final sweep, the Luna Team ran into the Mogrosa Team in the buffet restaurant. Neither side was willing to retreat, and neither side took action, so the stalemate lasted for a few minutes. After the points changed, the two teams were on guard against each other while paying attention to the data on the display screen. It was obvious that they both wanted to know the other side's background.
It would have been fine if I hadn't seen it, but once I saw it I was stunned and couldn't believe it.

They originally thought that the Qinglong team, which had been eliminated in the battle between the top two in this game, unexpectedly increased its points by 190 points, and instantly returned to the first place from fourth place! What exactly happened in this short half hour? !
What's more, the points of their two teams are actually the same, and they are tied for second place!
Boulder and Fergus looked at each other and then took a step back.
Fergus spoke first, "You can see the current situation. There is only half an hour left before the end of the game. Just looking at the updated points ranking, we are 50 points behind the Qinglong team. Moreover, you should know that they have a lot of number plates in their hands. First place is basically out of the question. As a second choice, second place is the same, except that the money is a little less. Now our two teams have the same points, and the situation of being tied for second place is also within the scope allowed by the rules of the game. How do you think we can keep it like this?"
When it comes to interests, there are no eternal enemies. What's more, the current situation is special, and Boulder is not surprised that Fergus made such a suggestion. And he was actually very tempted, because due to the previous accident, they had too few number plates, and if they really competed, they might not win. But precisely because of this, he did not dare to agree, because after agreeing, he would inevitably face a briefing between both parties, and the matter of the number plate could not be concealed at all. If it was a collaboration between friends, it wouldn't matter if one party's conditions were slightly worse, but they had never had any friendship with the Mogrosa team, and they had set traps for each other in the hunting grounds. He was really worried about cooperating under this premise.
But I feel reluctant to give up.
Boulder hesitated for a long time without giving an answer, and then Fergus said, "Why, you don't want to?"
"No." Boulder shook his head and said frankly, "We don't have many number cards. Are you sure you want to cooperate?" Instead of guessing how Fergus would react when he found out that they had few number cards after the cooperation, it was better to say it directly.
But Fergus narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What a coincidence, we don't have much either."
grass! Got cheated! The people of Mogrosa are all mad dogs who bite anyone they see. As the captain, Fergus is not a good person. It is problematic that he suddenly made such a suggestion. Why didn't he think of it? !
Boulder tore Fergus into pieces in his heart, but his face was calm. "What a coincidence! We originally had more number plates than we have now, but we had an accident and lost them. What about you?"
Fergus, who had a smiling face, suddenly stopped smiling and became serious after hearing what Boulder said. "Where did you hide the thing?" The "thing" here naturally refers to the number plate.
"Under the bonsai in the corner of the complex." Boulder replied.
"Our number plate was hidden in a vase in the room. When we went out hunting, it was gone when we came back. The fourth floor is so large that it could be considered a coincidence to encounter one, but since both of our things were lost, that means there is something wrong, right?"
Boulder's eyes widened for a moment, and he said in disbelief, "You mean... sensor?!"
"Yes!" Fergus nodded. "I don't think there is any other explanation for this. I just don't know who has the thing. Who do you think it is?"
When Boulder heard Fergus mention this, for some reason, the first person that came to his mind was the man wearing a clown mask from the Qinglong team. Unfortunately, there was no evidence to support his guess, so he could only shake his head and said, "I don't know. I hope nothing unexpected happens in the end. First, check the number plate in my hand, and then get some points before the game is over. The third place Snow Wolf is chasing very closely."
"no problem."
The clock struck twelve at midnight, marking the end of the second game. In the fourth floor area, the data on all the screens was uniformly changed to that of a beautiful blonde host, and a sexy and alluring voice came out from the speakers.
"To those who heard this, congratulations on surviving!... All teams please go to the entrance and hand in your number plates so that we can calculate the points and determine the rankings!"
In the fourth floor area, those injured people who were hiding in fear finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of their hiding places with difficulty, and headed towards the exit. The end of the game means temporary safety. Under the almost all-round surveillance with no blind spots, anyone who dares to take action during this period will definitely not see the sun the next day.
At the end, it is inevitable to meet other teams. Compared with the beginning, not only are there fewer teams, but most of them have lost people and many people are injured.
When they arrived at the exit and started to hand in their number plates, the Qinglong team suddenly became the most conspicuous. Others only handed out several number plates, but they simply packed a bag and threw it on the table. It was so heavy that the metal collided and made a slight sound.
There were so many number plates, and at a glance it looked like there would be no less than fifty. Without having to wait for the organizer to count the results, everyone already knew who the first place would be.
Sure enough, twenty minutes later the statistics came out, and the Qinglong team firmly took the first place with 1040 points! After forming a temporary alliance with the Luna Squad, Mogrosa managed to stabilize their score and tied for second place. The Snow Wolf Team finished third with a difference of twenty points.
After the game, only ten teams remained out of the thirty-two teams, and except for the top two, every team had lost players. This time is more tragic than any previous time! According to the original convention, the top eight teams in terms of points would directly enter the final hunting ground game, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened and all the teams that survived the second round of the game would enter the hunting ground!
