Obviously the sound of electric current has stopped, but there is still no sound in the huge space.
"..."
The "contestants" who were bound by iron chains had their eyes closed tightly at this time, and they could only tremble as they waited for the nightmare to end.
On the TV screen, the black figure was laughing like crazy: "It's so interesting, it's so interesting, it turns out - this is happiness! By consuming ugly things, you can get the enjoyment of beauty!"
"I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it. You taught me a vivid lesson right from the beginning."
"I learned!"
Someone asked with trembling voice and courage: "Since you know everything, can you let go..."
"Let you go? Of course -"
The black shadow stretched one of its glass ball eyes in front of the camera and blinked stiffly: "No, not yet. This is not enough. I want more."
"Among you."
"Beauty will be sublimated."
"Ugly, there will be punishment for ugliness."
"Innocence...there is also a way to innocence."
"Now, then, the counting game—a quarter of an hour."
The TV screen turned, and a cartoon-style old alarm clock appeared. At this time, the time was fixed at 0:00, and with a command, the second hand moved!
"start!"
The disappearance of the black shadow was like the dissipation of the death threat hanging over the head. At this time, no matter whether they were men or women, teachers, young or old, they could no longer control their emotions and broke down and cried.
"I'm not ugly, why do you arrest me?"
"I'm not innocent either, why are you arresting me! I used to be a tourism ambassador and spoke in the Bonding Country. It's against the law for you to treat me like this!"
"Hey! Calm down!"
The few people who could still control their emotions couldn't help but become anxious when they saw this scene: "The game has begun, now is not the time to cry!"
Gao Yi quietly watched the time passing on the TV, waiting for the running-in among the participants to end. At the same time, he was also thinking about his own way to break the situation.
Currently, apart from the four types of paintings placed in my home, I don’t have many paintings left. They are: [Lion Lion in Armor], [Black Humor], [Phantom Dragon Walking], and [Old Omen of the Ancients].
It can be said to be unprecedentedly poor.
After all, he never imagined that something could take him to another place while he was sleeping without even noticing.
You know, what he slept on was not a bench or lounge chair on the street, but a home that had been heavily fortified.
Let me ask, who can abduct him quietly without triggering any alarms?
Gao Yi himself didn't have this confidence.
The only explanation now is that he may not have come in his true form. It is just like entering a dream. The mind and body do not interfere with each other. In reality, he is still sleeping, but his spirit has entered a new horizon.
So is this a dream?
Gao Yi was a little confused.
If so, since the Lord of Dreams and his servants were destroyed last year, there should be no possibility of becoming a demon again.
If not, then the second vision beyond reality after the dream is not a good sign.
Now that the situation is unclear, he might as well lie dormant and figure out the reason for his arrival, or follow the game and see if he can directly find the guy on the TV.
In the blink of an eye, five minutes have passed. At this time, those who had an emotional breakdown finally recovered a little and were able to communicate normally.
This undoubtedly relieved the comforting people.
"Everyone listen to me..."
Gao Yi heard the burly man's voice.
There is another minute of discussion time. At this time, everyone has unified the order. Next, they will use the TV as a reference and start counting according to the re-divided directions, from south to north, from east to west.
"one."
The first one to start was a male voice.
"two."
"three."
According to the order, the sound of counting came and went, all the way through Gaoyi, until the end where the last person was, a total of twenty-five people were clearly presented.
"Twenty-five, twenty-five people in total."
"How much time is left?"
"Ten minutes, there is still time, do you want to do another round to check the calculation?"
"good."
In the space that was completely shrouded in darkness, the reports sounded again one after another, like the echoes of hell.
"one."
"two."
"three."
…
"Twenty-three."
The last person said: "Twenty-four... Huh?"
Why is one missing?
Others obviously noticed this, and looked at each other and began to discuss in panic: "What's going on? Why is there one missing?"
"Did someone fail to report it?"
"It's impossible, I've obviously paid for it."
"Do it again."
"one."
"two."
"three."
…
"Twenty-five?"
"Why did you change to twenty-five again?"
"What's going on?"
"How much time is left?"
"Only six minutes left!"
"Don't panic, everyone!"
The burly man's voice sounded: "Someone must have been unprepared, so he was accidentally missed."
"This time, we will give a brief introduction after reporting the number. If the number changes again, we can use the name to determine who is missing and who is having more."
The counting from one to twenty-five begins again:
"Xu Ze, the card shop owner."
"Zhang Yu, an ordinary white-collar worker."
"Chen Tuan, fitness coach."
"Mr. Ma, a high school student."
"Ding Bao is a herdsman from Xiaochong County."
"Liu Dong, a college student."
…
All the way to Gaoyi, I heard him lying without blushing and out of breath: "Weile, a high school student at school."
"Ville?"
Someone immediately asked in confusion: "Why does your name sound like a foreign name, but your accent sounds completely local?"
Gao Yi replied naturally: "Ahem, actually I was born in Lavan, so I have a foreign name, but in fact my family has moved here a long time ago, so in terms of spoken language, there is no difference between me and the locals."
"So that's it."
After the self-introduction was over, the number of people who were evenly matched at this time actually returned to twenty-four!
There is only less than a minute left!
Fitness coach Chen Tuan glanced at the alarm clock on the TV and immediately said: "Everyone, there is still one minute left, we still have time to check the calculation. This time everyone will just report the numbers and see if there will be any changes!"
A new round of counting begins.
However, until the end, the total number of people turned out to be a weird twenty-five, as if there was an invisible ghost hiding among them, constantly confusing their audition.
"Move quickly, call your name immediately!"
Now he couldn't care less about the creepy atmosphere. Chen Tuan stared at the TV for less than thirty seconds and made a decision immediately.
"Xu Ze!" "Arrived!"
"Liu Dong!" "Arrived!"
"Zhang Yu!" "Arrived!"
"Chen Tuan, here!"
"Captain Ma!" "Arrived!"
"Ding Bao!" "Mother gave birth to it."
"What?!"
"Oh no, oh, that's right!"
"Ville!"
Gao Yi responded: "Arrived!"
After counting, the total number of people is—twenty-four!
On the TV screen, the second hand also happened to pass zero. As the minutes moved, it pointed at the "3" position.
