[Copy Name: "Colosseum"]
[Copy Type: Multiplayer Survival]
[Pre-tip: Humans are also beasts. We are not born to be beasts. 】
Basic information about the copy is refreshed on the system interface, and a few lines of text convey a bad warning.
The word "Colosseum" is reminiscent of ancient Rome, which advocated force. The expression "multiple people" indicates that there is an obvious hostile relationship. Survival dungeons have higher requirements for force and physical fitness. The pre-prompt is contradictory...
Even though he had been strengthened by the cursed pendulum, Qiss still knew clearly that he was a puzzle-solving player.
Although Dong Xiwen's force value is not weak, as a player who came out of the puzzle copy "Grand Performance", his ability is obviously focused on solving puzzles.
The prerequisites for this copy are very unfavorable for both of them.
The darkness around me slowly dissipated, and noisy sounds came from all directions, not human voices, but the sounds of various animals.
The "moo" sounds are from cows, the "whining" sounds are from wolves, and there are many other inaudible sounds that are blurred out.
Qisi opened his eyes and saw a closed iron gate.
The air is filled with hot moisture and a faint smell of blood. Brown condensation hangs on the iron railings and walls. A pile of flocculent flesh-colored objects can be seen in the corner, which seems to be rotten. Flesh.
He was in a small room with no furnishings except the straw spread in the corner. He was currently sitting on a pile of straw with his knees in his arms, looking through the lattice of the iron gate at the high platform in the distance.
It seemed to be an auditorium, made of a whole piece of marble, and the seats were built to be two people high and one person wide. There are a few NPCs sitting here and there.
I only say NPC because Qiss doesn’t know how to define those things.
They bear the heads of tigers, elephants and other animals, but their bodies are much larger than the normal size of these animals in nature. They sit leisurely in the auditorium with human postures, as if some civilizations worship animals as animals. Archetypal deity.
The mixed roars of various animals in my ears never stopped, many of them coming from above the head. It is conceivable that the top of the room is probably also the same audience stand.
Qisi listened for a while and found that he could actually understand a few of the sentences.
“There are several new faces in this beast fighting game. I don’t know who can survive to the end.”
“I hope they can survive for a few more rounds, but they will die all of a sudden. Not interesting.”
"Yeah, but that No. 1 is too cruel...Who are you going to bet on this time? Or the wolf?"
"Besides, the odds of the wolf are too low, and one of them died. We have to recruit new players, and we can’t win just by relying on No. 1. “Is there any team that can’t die? One person from each of the six teams died. I suspect it was intentional by the organizers. New faces come in."
Qisi stood up and walked to the iron gate, listening clearly to the discussion above his head.
He almost understood. In this instance, he was a newcomer participating in the beast-fighting game, and he would most likely join a team next.
Those tall animals are the spectators, and they will place bets on each team and their winning or losing.
It sounds like a small gambling game of the gods...
Qiss looked at the huge circular field outside the fence and fell into deep thought.
The game venue was designed according to the regulations of the Colosseum, but the positions of people and animals were swapped. Combined with the pre-prompt prompts, it always felt like there was an ulterior motive...
The narration sounded unsmilingly, Explain the worldview background.
[This is a world where humans and gods coexist. A hundred years ago, the evil god who loved disputes and carnival came here and became the master of the gods and humans]
[To celebrate his arrival, the gods built a magnificent battle. The beast farm invites heroes among humans to come here to start a fight of life and death]
[Courage and wisdom, fear and madness, the evil god is pleased by human performances and is willing to meet the best heroes and satisfy his desires Wish]
[You are a careerist who wants to become a god. You use conspiracy and tricks to gain qualifications for the game, just to get the method of becoming a god from the evil god]
[The main mission has been refreshed]< br>
[Main Mission: Meeting with the Evil God]
Task-related text refreshed in the upper left corner of his sight, and Qisi raised his eyebrows slightly.
The background of this copy is obviously a mixture of ancient Rome and ancient Greece. The Colosseum is almost a one-to-one copy of the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and the trick of using games to please the gods belongs to the Olympia Games in ancient Greece.
Although it is said that humans and gods coexist, there is no doubt that gods are in a dominant position and can easily use small humans as entertainment.
What Zis is more concerned about is the personal part about him.
Taking the initiative to join a life-and-death game where you don't have an advantage and performing on someone else's home court is already abstract enough; the purpose is actually to learn the method of becoming a god from the evil god...
Just by playing a game. Is the role he plays so naive when he rises up the ranks to become a ruler?
"The time has come, you can appear on the stage."
The iron gate was opened from the outside, and a giant with a goat's head stood outside, his long pupils hanging down and looking at everyone. Si, looks cold and arrogant.
Qisi walked out of the door and was led by the goat to stand on the round platform in the center of the field.
He was wearing a red suit and trousers, which was a pre-set outfit before entering the dungeon. He was not suitable for fighting no matter how he looked at it.
On the auditorium outside the venue, the NPCs holding the heads of various animals acted enthusiastically and cheered like wildfires and tsunamis.
These strange-looking things are the "gods" in this dungeon. I don't know what the evil god required to meet in the main quest looks like, whether it is a lion head or a tiger head...
"Let everyone welcome our No. 7!" Goat stood next to Qisi, changed his previous indifference, and introduced Qisi to the audience enthusiastically, "He is the representative we selected from this new generation. It seems that One punch will kill you, how long can you survive in this game?”
His words were filled with obvious malice, whether he was targeting one person individually or contemptuous of all human beings equally.
He paused, and then added as if he felt guilty: "Ah, you can't say that, No. 7 is the only one among this batch of newcomers who has qualified based on his intelligence."
Monsters in the audience They laughed so hard that the word "wisdom" seemed like a ridiculous joke to them. The already warm atmosphere suddenly became even more lively.
The goat continued to announce: "Next, we will select one of our old friends to come on stage and talk to this poor newcomer. I wonder what advice the old man will give to the newcomer?"
A stone door opened slowly, and milky white light fell into the sky. White powder floated spontaneously, setting up a long staircase that led directly to the round platform.
This kind of treatment is obviously not comparable to that of Qis, who is locked behind the iron gate. It is probably a special treatment for veteran players.
The halo dissipated, revealing a figure in black clothes and black hair, stepping steadily on the steps and onto the round platform.
That person is Chang Xu. Players who entered this dungeon through random matching were assigned different identities and received different initial treatment. In a sense, it was really unfair.
Qisi was not surprised that Chang Xu appeared in this dungeon. Although he happened to be drawn as a new and old player respectively, it was quite fate.
Seeing Chang Xu standing still, he smiled and raised his left hand, revealing the white ring on his little finger: "Brother Chang, what a coincidence, I guessed that one of the two people sent by Kyushu was you. .”
Chang Xu did not respond.
He looked directly into Qisi's eyes, with a lack of emotion on his face: "You are a massacre player. You are the 'Cheng An' who led the group destruction in "Frog Hospital". You are hidden in the copy of "Ghost". You are the one behind Lin Chen, and you are the one who wants to kill me in the copy of "Hopeless Sea"."
Qisi stopped his smile and narrowed his eyes.
Chang Xu continued: "The person who impersonated me in the "Carnivore" copy was also you. You permanently closed the "Ghost" copy after thirty-five days in order to push the suspicion onto Lin Chen. "
He didn't say any more, as if he was waiting for Qiss to respond. Judging by his tone and expression, he clearly had already decided on the answer.
Qisi looked at him in silence for a while, then put a smile on his face again: "It turns out you are not an ignorant idiot.
"That's right, the only skill I have is soul, and you know that my skill is soul. Contract, it is not too difficult to guess something. "
The atmosphere was visibly tense, and the goat quickly shouted loudly: "Please note, the game has not officially started yet. Harming each other outside of the game is not allowed! "
Chang Xu seemed not to have heard anything. He looked at Qisi and said calmly: "You should be a dead person in the frog hospital. You who became a ghost should have been taken into custody, but for some reason, the higher-ups refused to take action against you.
“Then it’s up to me to send you where you need to go.”
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Qiss took a step back generously and looked left and right at the auditorium surrounding the circular platform in an exaggerated manner, "I was inexplicably thrown into this cage by a weird game, and allowed to be treated as a circus by a group of beasts. Animals onlookers——
“Are you really planning to show these NPCs a show of cannibalism under the rules of the dungeon?
“Normal people’s first reaction when encountering this situation is to join forces to destroy or escape from here. You would rather point the knife at fellow players than stay in the dog cage of rules. "
Every sentence of his moral kidnapping contains words such as "weird game", "copy" and "player", which cannot be heard by NPC.
Chang Xu still stared at him, his voice cold: "You have long been transformed into a massacre player, degenerated into a ghost, and killed countless people along the way. We are not the same kind."
Qisi sighed: "Has anyone ever told you not to always be so straightforward with your speech? If you want to kill someone, but you still have to declare it in front of others, don't you know how to hide yourself?"
Chang Xu shook his head: "There's no need, you will always know."
"It seems you think you've got me." Qisi's smile became weird, "I guess this time you Before the live broadcast, I guess you have already prepared to destroy the cooperation, right?
"I wonder if you have considered that you openly attack me, the vice president of the unnamed guild, the Weird Investigation Bureau and Kyushu? How will the guild end? "
"That's not important. Chang Xu condensed a black identity card in his hand, and the gilt lines on it reflected the faint light, "Killing and massacring players is in line with the purpose of the convention." ”
Qisi glanced at the ID card and asked with a half-smile: "Without substantive evidence, without a legal trial, and based on vague suspicion, you are convicted and executed - is this the justice that belongs to you?"
"You want to kill me, so I will kill you. It's fair." Chang Xu crushed the card in his hand.
Black debris flew in all directions, spreading into a huge phantom of cards in the air, and even covered the entire sky for a moment.
The judge with black clothes and golden eyes stood solemnly between heaven and earth. The black-covered book in his hand turned the pages rapidly, and the golden characters flashed out like ribbons, almost blurring Qisi's sight.
[Identity Card: Dark Judge]
At the moment of attention, Zeiss learned its name, and along with it was a cold and unquestionable verdict.
[Chang Xu, the holder of the "Dark Judge" identity card, advocates initiating a trial against you]
[After testing, you are guilty of serious sins... The trial is in effect and your skills have been banned]< br>
The thick black book stayed on one of the pages. The [Soul Contract] skill icon in the upper left corner of the system interface suddenly turned gray. After looking at it for two seconds, the words [Cannot be activated in this copy] popped up.
The golden vines that grew wantonly in the consciousness space quickly faded, and the leaves and fruits hanging from them fell. In just a few seconds, the feeling and connection were lost.
There was only a bloody branch left hidden in the depths of darkness, and the scarlet leaf belonging to Lin Chen hung lonely on the branch. It was a relic that was temporarily used by the "Belief" system of the [Scarlet Priest] card.
The shadow of the officiant in red clothes and red eyes condensed behind him. A cross as tall as a person was held up in both hands and stood in front of Qisi. When it touched the golden characters, it scattered into spots of light.
The golden temple made of huge stones loomed in the higher space. Under the marble statue with closed eyes, a red shadow raised its hand and dropped a piece on the chessboard.
The figure in black sitting opposite stared indifferently, slowly raised his right hand holding the cross pendant, and loosened his fingers.
The black cross fell from the sky and hung above Qis's head in the form of a shadow.
That's a "sin" mark that all players can see.
[The judgment will take effect in all copies until the judge dies or the identity card is unbound]
[While the judgment is in effect, you will continue to know the judge’s location and status]< br>
All the visions have now dissipated, and two lines of silver-white text prompts appear on the system interface. The depths of Qisi's consciousness are barren, and he is unable to sense the existence of Dong Xiwen and others.
[Scarlet Priest] is on the same level as [Dark Judge] and cannot be released from its control.
The soul contract is disabled, and this prohibition will run through all copies and will never end...
Unless the judge is killed to terminate the judgment process.
Qisi raised his eyelids and looked at Chang Xu.
A scarlet king's chess piece condenses on the latter's head, seemingly able to penetrate time and space and appear eternally in another dimension.
[Dark Judge] card is naturally born for disputes. The judge issues a pursuit order for sinners, and the sinners will also regard the judge as a thorn in their side.
Fighting and fighting, endless, until one party dies.
Qisi tilted his head and grinned at Chang Xu: "I will kill you."
At the same time, all players in the dungeon heard the system announcement. .
[The main mission has been updated, and new replaceable missions have been added]
[Main mission (optional): Kill the sinner Zis] (End of this chapter)
