[Trial Scene: Howling Island]
[Difficulty: Level 4]
[Energy system level: 0, scientific and technological knowledge level: 0.5]
The energy system is 0 and the technology level is -1.
There is no doubt that this string of data represents that in this trial, many technological props and weapons will reduce the effect.
Coupled with the level 4 task difficulty, it is definitely a life and death test.
However, it was not these two items that gave Tang Jiumin a headache, but the two extra paragraphs below them.
[Trial of Power: Two-person trial, the difficulty of the trial scene is increased by 60%]
[Trial of Power: It is detected that the difficulty of the dungeon exceeds the team's endurance limit, the number of newcomers is +12, the selection of supplies is cancelled, and search is performed within the trial]
These two extra paragraphs of text did not appear just now, but were displayed on the Rubik's Cube as soon as they entered the tavern.
In the first section, the difficulty was increased by 60%, which was expected. Although it was difficult, Tang Jiumin was not unprepared.
But the following paragraph is different.
Add 12 more new people? Cancel supply selection? Search within the trial?
Weird, very weird.
Tang Jiumin had read this text several times, but when he read it again, he still couldn't help but frown.
Based on his long-term research on the terminal, he can determine that the increase in the number of people is because the probability of survivors of the entire team this time is too low.
In the terminal thinking, what should we do if the survival rate is too low and no one will survive?
The crudest way is to increase the total number of people. After all, no matter how low the survival rate is, as long as the number of people is enough, enough people can survive.
This is equivalent to the terminal clearly telling you that this trial will be extremely difficult.
But now, the problem has arisen.
There were no supplies, 24 newcomers, and the terrifying difficulty of the trial. Tang Jiumin only knew that this trial might be related to supernatural beings, and knew nothing else.
I believe no one can remain calm, at least Tang Jiumin is very uneasy inside.
Time was tight, and all they could do at that time was to ask Zhang Tiandao to quickly search for some exorcism methods to exchange for materials, and urgently make a batch of props in the tavern.
This can be considered as a human resource...but I don't know how effective it will be.
Soon, when Tang Jiumin was thinking about this, E Sihui walked over carrying a drab brown package.
"Captain, it's done."
Tang Jiumin came back to his senses, "How much?"
"I counted, 38, enough for each of us to have 6."
"38..."
Hearing this number, Tang Jiumin frowned and shook his head.
Not enough, not enough at all.
He has searched for so-called soul bodies. For that kind of life, only spiritual weapons and electric energy weapons can cause great harm to them.
The remaining methods are either to use props to destroy its soul state and make it materialize. Or just follow the clues and find its identity.
Tang Jiumin didn't dare to bet that he could accurately find out the identity of each soul body.
As for what Zhang Tiandao made?
It is a medicinal wine that can make evil spirits appear weak. It contains bull's eyes, dog teeth, and even peach wood powder.
This is very crucial and may be of great use, but how long can 38 medicinal wines last in a long trial?
At this moment, someone knocked on Tang Jiumin's shoulder, bringing him out of his thoughts.
Tang Jiumin was a little irritated when his thoughts were disrupted, so he turned around and spoke immediately.
"What's up?"
It turned out to be Liu Ziyun. He didn't say a word, but just looked behind him.
Tang Jiumin immediately followed Liu Ziyun's gaze and saw that everyone in the bar was awake at this time.
Most of them were standing, a few were sitting, in small groups, but everyone's eyes were directed towards the bar.
It seems that everyone understands that the people at the bar are the key.
Among them, the teacher strode forward and walked to a safe position not far from the bar. He faced Liu Ziyun and others looking at him and spoke slowly.
"Hello, I am Zeng Xuebin, a teacher at the Second Polytechnic Institute of Mingze City. Those are my students. Where is this place?"
As Zeng Xuebin spoke, he observed the expressions of Tang Jiumin and others.
This group of people is not surprised at all, they most likely know this place.
Thinking of this, Zeng Xuebin became even more polite.
"I just talked to a few people nearby. It seems that everyone encountered some bad things before coming here, so we want to find out what happened."
"It doesn't look like we were kidnapped, but it's really...I can't find a suitable description, and I feel confused about it."
Speaking of this, Zeng Xuebin looked at several people seriously, very seriously.
"You are different. You seem to be very familiar with this place. Can you answer our questions?"
Finally, there was a person who stood out in the crowd. Regardless of his behavior, words and deeds, he was extremely polite.
As for the other newcomers, although they occasionally whispered to each other, no one interrupted them, because they also urgently needed such a person to ask what everyone wanted to ask.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zeng Xuebin.
Liu Ziyun subconsciously took a step forward, because he had always been responsible for guiding the newcomers.
He was a little surprised. After all, no one was trying to criticize him this time.
But a hand was placed in front of Liu Ziyun, stopping him.
...It was Tang Jiumin. He smiled and then stepped forward.
Under Liu Ziyun's puzzled gaze, Tang Jiumin spoke.
"I thought that with so many newcomers this time, it would turn into a mess, but it turned out not bad. Except for a few of you who are a little frightened, everyone else seems to have noticed that something is wrong. It seems that Bodhisattva Liu doesn't need to waste any more words to make you realize the reality. "
These two sentences made Zeng Xuebin nod in agreement.
"Yes, this place is very strange. We come from different places, and the things we encounter are also very strange."
Zeng Xuebin looked up at Tang Jiumin with a firm attitude.
"Sir, I am a teacher and I need to be responsible for my students. Although we are not panicking, we are still worried about the unknown situation."
"I hope that sir can clear up our confusion, at least let us know what happened and where this place is."
"As you wish." Tang Jiumin nodded and said with some satisfaction: "You are all dead."
As soon as these words came out, there was a low discussion.
"Don't act like I'm mistaken." Tang Jiumin glanced at everyone who was uneasy. "Close your eyes and think about it. I don't have that much patience. Think about what happened to you in the end. Under normal circumstances, you really have a chance." Will you survive?"
As soon as these words came out, the discussion seemed to be cut off.
In just ten seconds, a group of people looked at each other in confusion, wanting to say something, but looking at each other's ugly faces, they were speechless.
Tang Jiumin looked around and his eyes fell on Zeng Xuebin's ugly but relieved face.
"Looking at your expression, did you expect that?"
Zeng Xuebin couldn't help sighing, "Of course, I discussed it with the students just now. They thought they were lucky, so they survived."
"But I don't believe in these illusory things, because the bus fell off a cliff more than 200 meters high."
With such a distance, it was hard for him to imagine that he could still survive unscathed.
Zeng Xuebin nodded to Tang Jiumin, and then stretched out his hand.
"My students and I went out for social practice and got into a car accident. According to you, we should be dead. I'm glad you answered it for us. Can you please tell me what will happen next?"
Such a newcomer really made Tang Jiumin stunned for a moment.
But instead of shaking hands, he put his hands behind his back.
"Of course I will answer it, and I will also tell you what to do next. As long as you believe me, I am willing to provide you with some help."
Tang Jiumin looked at someone next to him, "After all, this is what was agreed upon. I promised others to take care of the new members of the team, but forget about shaking hands."
"What you have encountered is far more serious than you think. I don't want you to think you are my friend just because of a small misunderstanding."
What?
After hearing this unexpected answer, Zeng Xuebin stopped his hand in embarrassment and his whole body tensed up.
At this moment, the elder of the hunter brothers, the eldest brother, spoke.
"Hey, the teacher has introduced himself, why don't you tell me about yourself? Also, what do you mean by what you just said? Is it possible that we will... die?"
Brother Hunter finds it strange to say the word "death" here.
After all, aren't they already dead?
Tang Jiumin looked at this man. His eyes were full of vigilance, but his breathing was steady. At first glance, he looked like a veteran who was often struggling between life and death.
"Tang Jiumin, in a sense, I am one of the leaders of this team. As for what to do next, what do you think? Listen to Officer Liu, he is familiar with this."
The next second, Liu Ziyun stepped forward from the side and stood in the middle of the bar. His eyes fell on Zeng Xuebin and he nodded respectfully.
"Liu Ziyun, before coming here, he was a policeman." Liu Ziyun looked serious.
The police uniform and the fact that he introduced himself as a police officer can really scare people.
Everyone's expressions tightened and they stared at him without blinking.
"Everyone, I hope you can remember every word I say next and listen carefully to your heart. As Tang Jiumin said, this will directly determine your life or death."
By now, Liu Ziyun was very familiar with the things he introduced about the trials on Disaster Island.
Time is running out.
He spoke quickly, but his words were clear, and he introduced the entire situation of Disaster Island in a short time.
Among them, naturally include the content of the trial and the danger of the trial...
With his introduction, Zeng Xuebin's expression became worse and worse.
The others had different reactions, but their expressions were no better.
Soon, as Liu Ziyun finished speaking, Zeng Xuebin immediately looked at Tang Jiumin beside him.
"Is what Officer Liu said... is it true? We have to go through the so-called life and death game here until we survive 66 games before we can go back?"
Of course it’s fake!
Is it okay if I don’t bluff you like this?
"We don't need to lie to you." Tang Jiumin looked serious and nodded without any doubt.
"Is there no other way? Can't you be accommodating?"
Such a cruel reality made Zeng Xuebin cry and cry.
"I have no children and no parents to support me, so I stayed as long as I stayed. But my students are different. They still have their studies, their parents, and their own lives..."
"No, they must not stay here..."
"Shut up." Tang Jiumin saw that the man was a little unstable, so he simply stopped his thoughts, "This kind of thing is not something we can decide."
"I would like to advise you that in the next day and every second, it is best not to have any such thoughts, but to think carefully about how to survive."
As these words fell, Zeng Xuebin's face turned pale and he fell into silence.
And at this moment, the Rubik's Cube's emotionless voice officially sounded.
