Chapter 124 Cooperation and Betrayal

A layer of light white gauze covered Aiwas's eyes. When he saw the world again, the surrounding environment suddenly became dim and he could not see anything clearly.

But he could clearly feel that he had been tied up.

It was not a means of suppressing prisoners with handcuffs, shackles and other torture instruments, but a tough rope thicker than an adult's arm, which was wrapped around the shoulders and circled down to the ankles. The person was tied up like a dumpling.

Aiwas felt that his body was full of powerful power. This body was much stronger than his own. But corresponding to this power, he was very hungry and felt weak at the moment.

He needed food.

But Aiwas tried, but found that he could not break the rope with brute force - it seemed to have some special elasticity, so that the power when expanding outward was removed.

At this time, a low and hoarse, magnetic and charming voice sounded in Aiwas's mind.

He immediately stopped trying and concentrated on listening to the copy introduction that would only appear once:

"You woke up with a headache, but found that you had forgotten your name. But it doesn't matter. You still have a few memories left, and you still remember why you came here.

"This is the second day you have been locked up here. The nine of you are not familiar with each other. You all fell into a trap while looking for the Holy Spear and were captured by the giant Pancord couple for winter food. The only thing in common is that you are all strong warriors.

"The giant couple will separate the nine of you into three storage rooms. In an hour, they will go to one of the storage rooms and choose one person as their food.

"The selection of ingredients is completely random. But if the giants find that someone is dead, they will cook and preserve all the dead humans.

"A powerful holy spear is sealed in the giant's collection display case. This is the trophy they got after killing an apostle of the Dedication Path; they also have a magic cauldron rewarded by the Supreme Heaven, which can make dead ingredients reborn and grow in the pot. Therefore, even if humans are small to them, one human can be eaten for a day.

"Although you are all strong, it is impossible to fight against giants. The giant couple is protected by the Supreme Heaven and cannot be harmed by any means here except the holy spear.

"But giants are afraid of cold, so unless they are alarmed, they will only stay in bed. But if the giant hears a sound, he will go to investigate.

"That's all you know. You don't know if you can escape, but you at least want to survive today. "

The next moment, the mission of this ceremony appeared in front of Aiwas:

[Necessary mission——]

[Survive (points: none)]

[Additional mission——]

[Non-essential killing: Kill others (points: 300 per person)]

[Escape from the crisis: Leave the storage room where you are (points: 500)]

[Keep hidden: Don't be discovered by the giant until the end (points: 500)]

[I am a saint!: Hold the holy spear (points: 50 per minute)]

[I can also be a saint: Kill the holder of the holy spear and take the holy spear (points: 500)]

[Feeding machine: Let the giant choose to cook the person you killed in the end (points: 1000)]

[The Nature of the Transcendent: Actively attack the giant and cause effective damage (points: 1000)]

[Successful Escape: Find the key and escape from the Pancord Temple (points: 2000)]

[The High Heavens No Longer Exist: Use the Holy Lance to smash the Demon Cauldron without being discovered (points: 1000)]

[The Courage of the Weak to Overcome the Strong: Use the Holy Lance to kill a giant (points: 3000)]

Evans narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into thought.

Obviously, this is a task specifically issued for the Transcendent Path.

It is completely different from the task style of Aiwas's previous promotion.

... Of course, it may also be because this task was given by the Snake Father, so it is different from the one issued by the Lord of Scales and Feathers during the last promotion ceremony. difference.

Necessary tasks must be completed, otherwise you will be eliminated. And everyone's necessary tasks are the same, so there is no point for it.

And the remaining tasks... are full of murderous intent.

I don't know about the others, but the three tasks of [Escape from Crisis], [Keep Hidden], and [Successful Escape] should be common to everyone. The text style of the task name is obviously different from other tasks.

From this perspective, this ceremony is actually possible to cooperate. Because no matter how many people escape, only one key is needed to open the door.

In other words... without counting special victories, three people can escape together after finding the key.

Nine people Divided into three storage rooms. There are exactly three people in one storage room, which is a natural ally. If one person is missing, the efficiency will be lower than other teams.

This ceremony is obviously different from the style of the previous full moon ceremony of Aiwass... If the last one was mainly about the plot, then this time it is mainly about a game. The plot is even blurred. Aiwass doesn't even know the name of the body he is using, and there is no need to play at all.

The only thing Aiwass knows now is that this place is called "Pancord Temple".

And what they have to do is to be careful not to make any noise and find a way to leave while keeping quiet...

... No.

Aiwass suddenly reacted - this time it was not a full moon ceremony, but a competing new moon ceremony.

If everyone escapes, it means that no one escapes. The amount of points itself has no meaning, it is the ranking that determines promotion.

This ceremony can only promote three people, but it comes with two special victory conditions. Therefore, only the person ranked first in points can definitely be promoted... The second and third places may be squeezed out.

Unless the people who have completed the two victory conditions happen to be first and second in points. In this case, it can be postponed to the third place.

Therefore, it is actually unsafe to earn points together in a group of three.

No one knows the content of other people's tasks, and there is no published standings that are updated in real time. Even if the three of them always act together, their points will always be high or low.

I see.

——No wonder the first mission is called "Unnecessary Killing".

There is no need to kill other people in this ceremony... It is not a life-and-death scenario like the Colosseum, and it even requires a certain degree of cooperation. But because they don’t know the current points and all the tasks of their temporary teammates, they will be suspicious of them and kill them.

Because of the existence of those two special victory conditions, a team of three is inherently unstable and may have one or two spots taken away at any time.

Because of this, the more sincere and efficient the cooperation between each other is, the more necessary it is to kill each other in the end - because they complete more tasks together, the teammates' points may be higher.

This is a ritual about cooperation and betrayal.

——Help me, Shadow Demon.

Aiwass called in his heart.

Thick shadows seeped out from his body silently, easily corroding the ropes. He broke the rope with a forceful effort, turned over and sat up. He had little clothing on him, and was wrapped only in an unbuttoned piece of clean linen.

From the perspective of the positioning of the ingredients, it is more like a diaper than a robe...

There was still no light source around, and Aiwass couldn't see anything.

But at this moment, a light blue light suddenly lit up in the darkness. That light attracted Aiwass's attention.

He quickly saw clearly that it should be a dense phoenix-shaped tattoo on someone's body.

The next moment, a blazing flame burst out of the tattoo, burning the rope on his body but not the linen on his body. And through the firelight emanating from the human-shaped torch, Aiwass also guessed who the person was.

This should be the monk who was always silent and said nothing.

Although the body he is using now has hair and clothes, the silent temperament still allowed Aiwass to recognize his identity.

The monk looked at Aiwass, who broke free from the rope without a sound, and nodded slightly.

Then he slowly raised his right hand, and the flames rising from his body flowed along the surface of his body like liquid and gathered in his palm. In this way, he became a lamp, illuminating this dark storage room.

Aiwass's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness and he took the opportunity to look around.

I feel so small - the huge bronze door is about thirty meters high. From this perspective, it is estimated that the giant should be at least twenty meters tall.

——About half the height of Ultraman.

Isn’t this too huge? Then this is indeed invincible to the soldiers...

To giants, a linen-wrapped human would be about the same size as a pancake. Rather, how big can this magic cauldron make a person become, so that a pair of giants of this size can feed them for a day?

The other person in the room saw that the other two had broken free, and quickly called out: "I am Hong, help me!"

Aiwass turned around, only to find that the body Ms. Red was using at the moment was not a female body—but a young male warrior who was full of muscles like them.

Hong was also being tied into a rice dumpling at the moment, but she didn't look in a hurry. But unlike Aiwass and the monk, she did not have the ability to break free from the rope...or perhaps she wanted to retain her magic power and was unwilling to use her extraordinary abilities to escape.

Aiwass prefers the latter.

Want to hide your strength at the beginning?

——Then you might as well die here.

"Okay, Ms. Red."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, walked over slowly, and said in his own voice, not that of Shadow Demon: "I am Aleister..."

But before Aiwass could get closer, the monk suddenly stretched out his other hand to block him.

"Don't save him."

The monk said briefly: "Kill him."

His voice was full of murderous intent.
