Chapter 168 Countdown

Another new day.

After washing up, he walked out of the door and looked at the cloudy sky outside. Fei Lun nodded in satisfaction.

The moon is dark and the wind is high and the sky is killing people... My scalpel is already hungry and thirsty.

Is there no one out there looking for trouble?

Thinking of this, Feilun couldn't help but stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, and then looked to the left and right.And wherever he looked, the people who were standing there immediately turned around and left quickly.It was as if he was being stared at by a tiger. After a while, the streets around him were deserted and there were not a few figures in sight.

What a pity.

Looking at the two or three kittens in the distance, Fei Lun sighed in disappointment. He is now extremely eager to find a fresh body, and then feel the muscles that were cut through with the scalpel, go deep into the internal organs, and be crushed. The joy wrapped in the warmth and comfort of the throbbing of life.But it is a pity that now it seems that no one is willing to give him this opportunity, which makes Fei Lun really disappointed.

"Clang...clang..."

And at this moment, suddenly, a bell rang, and Feilun also raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.Then, Fei Lun couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

The place where the bell rang was exactly one of the tall buildings Faerun saw when they entered the Dream City.Judging from the location, this high-rise building should be located in the original business district, but now, the high-rise building has been transformed into a fantasy-style clock tower by the familiars.At this moment, only the sound of dull bells was heard, and soon, those wasteland residents who were hiding from the threat of Faerun returned to the streets again at this moment, and just like Faerun, they set their sights on up the bell tower.

"Clang...clang..."

The bell sounded louder and louder, and as the bell sounded, everyone saw a ball of light gradually condensing at the top of the bell tower, releasing its own light like the sun, illuminating the originally dim world in front of them.Seeing this scene, Feilun raised his eyebrows.Anyone who can do such a thing is definitely not a human or an esper, so... It seems that the rumor that the Dream City has familiars to protect it must be true?
Just as Fei Lun was thinking, the bell finally stopped, and then, accompanied by a soft "swish", Fei Lun only saw a thing like a strafing light shoot out from the ball, quickly A scan of the surrounding area was performed.Faced with this sudden scene, many people screamed in panic, and some even tried to avoid it.However, this light is obviously all-round and has no dead ends. I saw it quickly scanned everyone from bottom to top, and then retracted quickly.Immediately afterwards, the ball of light suspended quietly on the top of the clock tower like this, and there was no more movement.

And at this moment, Fei Lun suddenly felt that something in his pocket was gradually getting hotter.He also unhurriedly stretched out his hand, and took out the black card given to him by the woman when he entered the quarantine area from his pocket.After seeing the card in front of him, Fei Lun was a little surprised.

Originally, the ID card that the woman gave to Fei Lun was a pure black card with nothing on it.Fei Lun also used this card to test the system, but nothing could be read.But now, on the front of this black card, a pattern of a man gradually emerged.It was a silhouette wearing a windbreaker, but it wasn't Faerun, but...

"It's really interesting..."

Looking at the man's pattern that appeared on the pattern in front of him, Fei Lun was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, showing a weird smile.

Although the dream city has not yet been announced, Faerun has already guessed what the content of this test will be.

Thinking of this, Ferran withdrew his thoughts and turned to look at Franke behind him.

"Franka, where's your card? Has it changed?"

Hearing Fei Lun's inquiry, Franke also hurriedly took out the card, then played with it carefully, and then nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Master, my cards have also changed."

"Deline?"

(me too, master)
"very good."

Hearing the two people's answers, Fei Lun nodded in satisfaction.If his guess is correct, then what kind of test will be carried out in the Dream City this time, and how the test itself is carried out, Faerun already knows almost everything.Although everything is just speculation before the test really begins, but being able to guess the mystery of it is no longer something ordinary people can do.

"Dididi... Didi..."

Just as Fei Lun was thinking, a series of calls came suddenly. Hearing the calls, Fei Lun also turned on the system, and then took a look——as expected, it was the contact signal of Red Rose.Looking at the constantly beating icons, Phelan shrugged his shoulders, then stretched out his hand, clicked on the icon, and opened the connection.Immediately afterwards, the voice of Red Rose emerged from it.

"You have seen the rules of the game."

"Saw."

Upon hearing Red Rose's question, Feren quickly responded.Although up to now, the real content of the test has not been announced by the City of Dreams, but when their ID cards changed their form just now, the rules of this test were also displayed to everyone through the system, and the rules, a total of Five.

One: The test is only a team competition, and a maximum of five people are allowed to form a team.

Two: The loser will die, no exceptions.

Three: Victory must be achieved within one hour, otherwise both parties will be judged to have failed at the same time.

Four: Players still have 24 hours to choose to withdraw from the test. Exiting out of time will be regarded as failure.

Five: Dream City has the final right to interpret this event.

Among other things, just seeing the last item, Fei Lun was sure that this was definitely not a trick by the familiar. To be able to say "Dear player, I am your father" in such a vicious manner so openly is not the ability of the familiar. It can be done.Not only that, since entering the Dream City, Fei Lun discovered that there are almost pits for outsiders to dig here, and according to Fei Lun's observations, most of the people here are almost crawling. You have fallen into a pit without knowing it.And only humans can make this kind of language trap.

If this is the case, then it means that there are not only human beings inside the City of Dreams, but also the status of this human being is quite high... Well, if the other party is really manipulating the nodes to do all this, then it means that this gathering place even It is possible that humans led the construction, and they still used a group of familiars?
This is really interesting...

Thinking of this, Fei Lun became more and more interesting.

"Do you think there is anything wrong with this rule?"

"If you have a problem, don't you do it?"

Faced with Feren's rhetorical question, Red Rose fell into silence this time. However, even she could see the full malice of the fifth rule, but could she withdraw?Now, does she still have a chance to quit?
Red Rose did not tell Feilun her true situation. In fact, she came to the city of dreams this time to fight against the odds.This is not the first time that the Red Rose and the Black Eagles have fought.However, as the Black Hawks grew stronger, the Red Rose's power began to gradually shrink. At first, it was just to fight for breath, but now, the Red Roses had to rely on hiding in the Dream Capital to avoid being completely annihilated by the Black Hawks. .It was precisely because there was no way to retreat that she chose to join forces with Feilun, a person who didn't know the details... But now, after reading the rules, Red Rose was speechless...

She originally imagined that other people who brought the red rose herself would be the main force, while Fei Lun was at most just an outside aid--knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, of course, Red Rose would not put her fate on an unknown person body.

But now, the promulgation of the rules made her feel chilly. For some reason, Hong Rose always felt a little worried.But now that the matter was over, she had no better way.

"Of course I won't quit. So, what are your plans? I can choose three trustworthy people..."

"Oh, no need."

"no need?"

Hearing this, Red Rose couldn't help being taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

Faced with the question from Red Rose, Feren gave the answer calmly.

"It's very simple. I think it's good for four people to play black, so...girl, are you interested in forming a team together?"
