Zhao Ling still remembered her last memory before she fell into coma. The ride she was riding in the amusement park suddenly flew into the sky and then fell heavily.
That moment only lasted for more than ten seconds, from the moment it was derailed and thrown into the sky to the time when it was smashed down and the instruments were flying, but Zhao Ling felt as if it was as long as a century.
Countless past memories in my life flash before my eyes like a revolving lantern. Perhaps this is the last period of my life.
It's ridiculous that Zhao Ling once saw the revolving door of a character before his death in a TV series, and joked with the screenwriter about how it took so long to let the revolving door go.
But now Zhao Ling can't laugh anymore, because these revolving lanterns only flicker for a few seconds, but they seem to last as long as a whole year.
However, no matter how long the journey is, it will eventually end. As the rides hit the ground heavily, Zhao Ling fell into a complete coma.
He didn't know how much time had passed during this period, until a cold voice woke him up. It was not a voice from the world, as if the messenger of the netherworld was seducing his soul.
It was from this voice that Zhao Ling knew what happened to him. Although he survived the accident, he was reduced to a vegetative state. The probability of waking up within his lifetime was hard to say.
Zhao Ling didn't know whether this statement was true or not, but he did realize that he was not in a normal state at this time. After weighing the voice's invitation for a long time, he finally decided to agree to be an invitee and give it a try.
When Zhao Ling regained consciousness again, he had arrived at a haunted ancient house. Like all the invitees in the past, he needed to escape from the haunted old house and walk through the eerie and dark paths to the building.
There were a total of 20 people in the ancient house where he lived, but in the end, only 11 people successfully escaped from the ancient house, and the remaining 9 people stayed inside forever.
During the journey across the path, 3 more of the 11 of them were dragged into the depths of darkness by the ghosts and disappeared forever, but the last 8 people finally succeeded in reaching their destination.
It was a building shrouded in gloomy clouds. The decayed and dilapidated appearance of the building made people feel a heavy pressure on their hearts at first glance.
These emotions dissipated as they entered the building, because they received a warm welcome inside. This level of enthusiasm even made Zhao Ling a little uncomfortable, and she felt a little wary.
Fortunately, the group of invitees who welcomed them warmly quickly explained the reasons and also introduced some of the conditions in the building.
"So I'm the last one to be invited?" Zhao Ling was trembling in her heart when she said this. She didn't know whether she should be grateful that she caught the last bus, or lament that she actually caught the last bus.
One of the senior invitees responsible for receiving them nodded and said: "Yes, there will be no new people after your batch. The final mission will begin on the last day of this year."
"That's why you are treated like this. Generally speaking, everyone will not squat at the door, waiting to be in contact with new people for the first time."
"But now, because you are the last batch of newcomers, we want to see if there are any good talents among you who can be promoted quickly. After all, this is the last wave of fresh blood."
Then these senior invitees gathered in front of the door began to brag and promote how mature their team was and how guaranteed their survival was after joining.
Anyway, it was just a mess. Several newcomers on Zhao Ling's side were immediately interested and planned to sign relevant agreements with them.
As for Zhao Ling, she noticed that not far away, a group of people sitting next to the sofa were having a drinking and partying, arm in arm, and the unpleasant smell of alcohol was still clearly audible.
A senior invitee who was close to Zhao Ling noticed the direction of his gaze and immediately explained this phenomenon to Zhao Ling:
"When they learned that the final mission was about to take place, some people gave up hope of living. Now that the mission is no longer done, they are living and dreaming all day long."
"That is to say, the ban in the building is still valid. They dare not kill each other in the building, otherwise they will be dragged into the end of life hole by the mysterious master."
"But even these people are very annoying," the senior invitee said with a very obvious look of boredom on his face.
"It doesn't matter that I gave up the hope of living. I'm still there to bewitch other people every day and join them in their last carnival."
It seemed that these words were heard by the group of people. The leader raised his glass and shouted: "Don't be ridiculous, the final mission, is that something you can pass? Why not live the rest of the time happily?" So as not to spend it all in tension and suffering.”
Another senior invitee was also very impatient about this, and seemed a little worried that one day he would be bewitched. He couldn't help complaining: "Really, why doesn't the master take care of these people?"
Why should Zhong Shanze care about them? Being able to be seduced by the carnival of this group of people shows that their will is not particularly firm.
The last wave of invited invitees must naturally be as good as possible, and they must be able to serve as middle managers for seducing souls in the future.
Most of the newcomers who came here struggling to survive with Zhao Ling were separated at the entrance of the building, but they were not completely atomized. They were still in groups of two or three.
After all, they are all newcomers with no experience. Even if they want to join a team composed of senior people, they should try their best to help each other, otherwise they will not be pushed out by the senior people as scapegoats.
Of course, some newcomers who are not popular have no way to find companions and can only find a team to join. God knows what they will encounter there.
There was also a newcomer who was so ambitious that he actually refused all the senior members' attempts to win over him and wanted to lead this group of newcomers to form a team on his own.
To be honest, although the number of such ambitious newcomers is not particularly large, because of the large base of this group of newcomers, three newcomer teams were finally established.
As for Zhao Ling not joining these teams, he felt that it would take a long time for such teams to get together.
However, there is not much time left before the final battle, so it is better to join an established team and improve your strength in the shortest possible time.
So several newcomers, including Zhao Ling, followed the corresponding guides to the top of the building, and soon walked into the team's headquarters.
When they entered the room, the team leader sat with his back to them. It was not until he heard the sound of the door opening that he slowly turned his face in the rocking chair.
At first, Zhao Ling was still complaining about what kind of pretentious behavior this was. But when she saw the other party's face, she was stunned and subconsciously blurted out: "Zhang Chengqi?"
"Hey, another newcomer who knows me well," Zhang Chengqi seemed not to care about Zhao Ling's surprise, and shrugged as if he was helpless.
Of course, Zhao Ling would definitely not tell the other party that as a hardcore player of "Who is the Terminator", he had once joined a cyberbullying group targeting Zhang Chengqi.
And in fact, among the last batch of invitees, there was another old acquaintance of Dai Wenguan, the old minister Zhu Shouli who almost caused him to die.
Zhu Shouli, who had stayed in his hometown for a few years after returning to his hometown, recently got into trouble with a drunken gangster because of his bad words. Although he said he won the fight and went to jail, Zhu Shouli, who lost the fight, was in the ICU and became an invitee in the end.
