Chapter 18 Un Entertainment They not only want to kill all the hunters, but also...
A platform was raised in the hall, and a woman holding a microphone in the center of the platform struck a pose.
His sharp gaze swept from left to right, a snort escaped his throat, and his tone was contemptuous. "I am Ali, the top agent at Un Entertainment, in charge of all matters concerning your upcoming training and assessments."
After she finished speaking, three posters suddenly unfolded above her head.
Jiang Yang looked up and saw, from left to right, the musical "Brain", the dance drama "Animals", and the film "The Silence of the Lambs".
I figured this was probably the last thing they were going to film.
Immediately afterwards, three men and one woman walked out from behind Ali and stood on either side of her, wearing name tags A, B, C, and D from left to right. As for A, it was none other than the man who had called out "senior" to Nan Ke.
Ali's disdainful voice came through the microphone again, "Now everyone, put on your level tags, line up in groups of five, and your executive agents will guide you to choose your test questions."
Jiang Yang wasn't wearing a coat this time; all she was wearing were the pockets on her pants.
Reaching in with both hands, I felt the cool touch of metal. As I pulled my hands out, I saw a small yellow symbol "D" atop the emblem on the exterior of the Un Entertainment Building.
The others had already put on their protective gear and started lining up. Jiang Yang and Nan Ke, who were furthest from the platform, stayed put for the time being.
After everyone had almost finished standing, they slowly and leisurely walked to the end of the line.
Something's not right.
"What's wrong?"
“There are a total of 160 players in the hall,” Jiang Yang said, his gaze sweeping back and forth between each group.
“It’s…160…” Nan Ke’s voice grew weaker and weaker, then he suddenly gasped, “No, it’s 159!”
However, the strong man was not present, and there were forty people in each group, with all four groups having one person present.
The two walked to their respective teams and stood at the back of Group A and Group D.
The first course selection was done in the order of ABCD, so Group A was the first to be selected.
Not long after, Jiang Yang received a message from Nan Ke: "Acting class."
The executive agent of Group D was the only woman among the four. Unlike Ali's sarcasm and A's flattery, she was like a pre-programmed program, and her every move revealed her soulless shell.
"This course is a physical training class, and the theme is an animal imitation show. The forty of you will be divided into hunters, elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, dogs, cats, and mice. There will be four groups of eight animals each, and four groups of two hunters each. After the course begins, please make sure to hide your identity. The number of hunters and animals in the room will be updated in real time."
"Group D can only take what's left over from the other groups. Good luck!"
Jiang Yang inexplicably felt as if he had fallen into the uncanny valley trap.
The passageway opened up, and the crowd formed two lines, with Jiang Yang still standing at the end of the line.
As I went inside, I glanced back and saw that D's lips, which had been taut in a straight line, seemed to have curved into a barely perceptible smile.
He couldn't help but shiver and quickened his pace.
A white light shone at the end of the dark corridor, and the group stepped through one after another. When Jiang Yang entered, seven people were standing in front of a small wooden house, waiting for him. It seemed that the eight of them were one of the animal groups.
He walked forward without making a sound, and standing in the very center was a face he recognized.
Mengjiang.
Meng Jiang has a scar that runs from the corner of his right eye to the corner of his mouth, which is nearly 20 centimeters long. I wonder if this is the reason why he ranks low on the list of handsome men.
Jiang Yang walked to the edge and stopped. A notification sound rang out, and the group opened their panels simultaneously.
Jiang Yang's role in this round is: Red Team - Mouse
Your natural enemies are all animals except elephants; hunters cannot kill you.
Your hiding success rate is 100%. Once you successfully hide, you can ambush the elephant.
[Upon killing an animal, you can immediately switch to the hunter faction.]
[Attack skills have a 30-minute cooldown.]
[After gathering all the remaining red, yellow, blue, and green animals of the same type in the arena, a hunter can be killed.]
When you successfully kill a hunter, you can choose to change the animal species after 30 minutes. The total number of animals that can be changed and the number of animals of the changed type that are still alive cannot exceed 4.
[Four animal protection associations are hidden in the forest. After obtaining the protection agreements, the associations shut down. Once all four protection agreements are collected, all hunters die instantly. The collection progress is synchronized in real time.]
You must wear a mask while hiding. Hiding ends when the mask is removed, and you cannot hide if the mask is lost.
[Body shaping class schedule: 8-12/14-18, 12-14 is break time, class ends at 18:00]
[get out of class ended early: All animals died / All hunters died]
The complexity of the rules left Jiang Yang speechless. The window shrunk, revealing three new buttons at the bottom.
[Rat face]
Upon clicking, a rat head mask with blood and bits of flesh hanging from its pointed snout popped up. Jiang Yang was so frightened that her pupils dilated. Thinking of the feeling of raw meat in her mouth, she subconsciously covered her mouth and gagged, attracting the attention of the people next to her. She hurriedly waved her hand and closed the app, clicking on the next one.
[Sneak Attack] and [Red Fireworks] are only described in text. One is his attack skill, and the other is a signal flare exclusive to the Red Team. However, once set off, both animals and hunters can see it.
After everyone finished reading, a sense of wariness towards those around them appeared on their faces.
Meng Jiang clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Everyone, as animals, I don't think we should be so quick to treat our fellow human beings as enemies."
Someone countered, "The rules say we should conceal our identities. Are you suggesting we reveal them?"
“It’s not wrong to hide our identities, but we certainly can’t just sit here and wait to be scattered. My suggestion is to form pairs, with one person revealing their identity to the other. The person who reveals their identity should come to me and tell me that whoever dies will be the prime suspect.”
Before anyone could speak up, Meng Jiang continued, "I will avenge him at all costs."
Jiang Yang neither refuted nor responded, acting as if he would follow orders completely. In the end, one person left the red team, and the remaining seven people were split into three teams: 223.
Someone squeezed in front of Meng Jiang, wanting to be on his team, but he pushed through the crowd, looked at Jiang Yang, pointed his index finger, and said, "You're on my team."
Jiang Yang pursed her lips and nodded hesitantly.
"Now that we've confirmed our teammates, we'll split up and go find the animal protection association. If there are any problems, we can fire a signal flare and then hide within 30 meters of the flare."
With its clear organization and logical arrangement, Jiang Yang became curious about what Meng Jiang had done before.
Meng Jiang's role in this round is: Red Team - Cat
Meng Jiang revealed his identity to Jiang Yang on his own initiative; he was one rank higher than Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang thought about it and decided not to be honest. Anyway, Meng Jianggang himself said that it was enough for one person to reveal their identity.
The two decided to head east first, and as soon as they set off, the number of people fluctuated, and the number after the mouse changed from 4 to 3.
[Mice: 3]
[Lion: 3]
[Hunter: 9]
【Cat: 3】
[Wolf: 3]
The continuous changes in the numbers caused Jiang Yang and Meng Jiang to stop in their tracks.
"It's a bit...too fast..." Jiang Yang murmured, his eyes fixed on the line of data.
While most people are still exploring the rules, some have already quickly completed the transformation of their identities.
"The lion is dead, it must have been the elephant's doing," they were both certain of that.
"But who killed the rat?" Meng Jiang pondered.
“I think it’s not important,” Jiang Yang paused, “what’s important is who wants the rat to die.”
elephant.
As a rat that anyone can crush, keeping him alive can keep the elephant in check, but if he is killed, the elephant will benefit the most.
At the crime scene, the yellow team, like the red team, was also in pairs, but the two people in each pair had exchanged identities.
Before the team could even disperse, one of them collapsed. The leader of the yellow team was known as Brother Wang.
"No... I didn't kill him. He told me he was an elephant, and I said I was a mouse, but he turned out to be a cat. He tried to kill me... and then he suddenly collapsed. I didn't kill him..."
The boy who lost his teammate was surrounded by people. The more he tried to explain, the more he couldn't hold back his tears.
Wang Ge took a step forward, his hands behind his back and his back bent, his expression intriguing. "Don't rush me, so... what is your identity?"
"I am an elephant," the boy sobbed.
Wang Ge stepped back and waved his hand lightly twice. His follower understood and stepped forward to click on the [Rat Face] on the panel.
The man who was lying on the ground suddenly rolled over, and his sharp claws, unique to cats, struck the mouse. Before the mouse could react, it fell to the ground with three scratch marks on its neck.
In the forest, the elephant raised its two front hooves high and trampled Wang Ge under its feet.
Wang Ge's mouth was wide open, his eyes were filled with fear, and his chest was dented into the soil by the weight of the elephant.
Several other supporters of Wang Ge stammered as they accused him, "How...how could you kill your teammate!"
“You should be glad that animals have a cooldown period before they kill,” the slightly taller one said, peeling off the skin along the edge of the face to reveal a face exactly like the boy’s.
"No, he's a cat! Kill him! They're all immobilized!"
"Really? Ha."
[Should we change the hunter faction?]
【yes】
[Yuejiang's current role: Hunter]
The hunter could not kill the rat.
One hunter can kill a wolf or an animal smaller than a wolf; four hunters can kill a leopard or an animal larger than a leopard.
Attack skill cooldown time is 10-70 minutes, gradually increasing from dog to elephant.
[After absorbing a hunter, the attack power doubles, meaning two hunters can kill a leopard or larger animal.]
[The cooldown time for Devour is thirty minutes.]
[When you kill an animal, you can choose to switch to the animal faction after thirty minutes.]
The advocate who incited others to launch the attack was met with a hunter's spear.
The animals that remained quickly fled the scene.
[Player Hoshino/Tsukie's Talent Card: Demon]
[Hoshino's Talent: Curse]
[Instructions for use: Any creature that attempts to investigate the demon will be cursed by the demon and imprisoned in the shackles of its own desires.]
[Moon River's Talent: Eye of Despair]
[Instructions for use: No one can see through a demon, but a demon can see through everything. Instinct will cause a demon to be guided by the environment in a way that is either good or bad.]
[Combination Description: Every six hours, the two have one chance to switch identities. The demonic instinct can prolong life, but it can also easily lead to corruption and harm.]
The tear stains on Hoshino's face had completely disappeared, and a wicked smile hung on her fair face.
They not only want to kill all the hunters, but also all the animals.
【Un Entertainment Observatory - Starry View】
"No way, he's doing this again. What is he doing to his good-looking face?!"
Hoshino and Tsukie fell to the lower ranks of the looks ranking because of their consistent behavior.
"If you don't like it, then get out! This is judgment! What's the point of watching this dry, uninspired stuff!"
"Kill them all! Kill them all! Die! Death is the most wondrous thing in the No Man's Land!"
After Jiang Yang's explanation, Meng Jiang finally realized what was going on.
Jiang Yang adjusted her glasses and continued speculating, "But judging from this, it seems they were acting together..."
The details gradually became clearer, and the pace of the speech quickened: "They not only killed two animals, but one of them also became a hunter."
"So, there are fewer cats because there are more hunters!" Meng Jiang exclaimed in astonishment. "Then the wolves...?"
"The hunter killed him," Jiang Yang said with certainty.
After all, there's still an elephant.
Hunter and elephant, what a perfect combination!
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Jiang Yang's Perspective]
"No, no, what do you mean?"
"I watched the replay on Hoshino's side even though I didn't understand it. All I can say is, from this day forward, I'm a die-hard fan of Jiang Yang! He's amazing!"
"Vote! Vote! I want to see Jiang Yang and Ji Yang together, ahhhhh!"
On the other side, the players in the performance class were locked in cages, and they all appeared to be in a strange coma.
Nan Ke became one of only two sober players in class; the other sober player was Ji Yang.
Their eyes met in the air, and they tacitly switched the tools to unlock the door.
