He came from the bell tonight

"Let's congratulate Xiao Huaiyan for becoming the first player to advance to the knockout round this year. Then, will student Xiao continue to use sniper rifles in the next competition—"

Frank dressed like a big rooster and handed the microphone to Xiao Huaiyan himself.

The latter took a half step away and said lightly, "No, there will be no next time."

He removed the nanodevice from his wrist and threw it to Frank.

"Hey, what do you mean, is this going to retire from the competition, Xiao Xiao?" The only response to Frank was his back.

He immediately smoothed the situation for himself with a smile: "It seems that the competitor is too weak, then everyone must work hard to perform well—"

Su Ling watched Xiao Huaiyan walking towards him on the dark steps.For a moment, that figure coincided with that in the library of Q1, and interlaced with that in Syracuse.

But when Xiao Huaiyan came to the side, the loose breath was completely different.

Xiao Huaiyan sat down without looking at him.The corner of the clothes was stuck to Su Ling's pants, and his arms collided because of the narrow seat.He seemed a little tired and closed his eyes.

Frank's voice was passionate—

"Friends, the latest news is that this year's champion will receive a light ship sports car designed by Mr. Buren in the last century. It is the only Imperial engine car left. It has been sealed for many years and has never Someone actually owned it. Retro and avant-garde, unique in the universe—”

"Its name is--

snowstorm. "

The red curtains receded to the sides, revealing a silver shell that reflected dazzling light.

On the simulated screen, it is like a bolt of lightning shifting in different scenes.At the same time, the original silver shell began to change color, sometimes as deep as the blue ocean, or as dark as the night.Because the speed was too fast, the silent turbine rolled up white smoke and dust, and the place it passed was just like its name, creating a grand snowstorm.

Raging and noble.

Amidst the ups and downs of amazing voices, Su Ling heard Xiao Huaiyan comment in a low voice: "The top configuration of the empire is beyond the current level. It is a manual car."

"Is it very powerful?" Su Ling asked softly.

Xiao Huaiyan leaned back: "It's okay."

Su Ling nodded slightly.The curves of that car look beautiful, he thought.To some extent, it resembles Xiao Huaiyan's eyes.And Xiao Huaiyan took a few more glances than last time at the garage in Shakespeare City.

He obviously likes it.

That is, "okay" means very good.

Su Ling looked at the light and shadow in the center, his lips moved.

In the sudden surging scream, Xiao Huaiyan didn't hear it at all.

"what--"

Su Ling stood up from beside him, his light eyes hidden in the retrograde light.

"……very nice."

Su Ling looked straight at Xiao Huaiyan.He felt that Xiao Huaiyan was obviously taken aback, and the fingers on the sleeve straightened the cuff calmly.

"Hey, you said this..."

Xiao Huaiyan noticed his slightly upturned eye ends, and the beam of light shone from a distance, falling on his eyelashes and scattered hair, like a string of sparkling drops of water.

That kind of gaze seems to be impossible to hide, which makes people uncomfortable.

"It's my turn." Su Ling calmly averted his gaze.

In the three-dimensional holographic scene, Su Ling's name was ranked first, which was very conspicuous.

"How can we draw a group?!" Xizi touched his name in the air in disbelief.

Ou Chuchu followed behind Su Ling, turned her head and pushed the glasses frame: "Professional escort, you know."

Xizi dragged out her voice: "Suling, you gave us a chance~"

Under the spotlight, Su Ling remembered the action of Xiao Huaiyan putting on the nano-device, and he imitated it smoothly.

Frank's voice was like thunder falling in the venue: "Then, let's take a look next-wow, congratulations to the three who have won the rare fully enclosed scene, the Colosseum!"

With the bang of the drum, Su Ling's feet had already stepped on the ground of the hole stone.He was at the front of the stands of the Colosseum.Within the field of vision, Ou Chuchu was at the highest point directly north of him, while Xi Zidu appeared alone in the center of the Colosseum without any cover.

"...It should be another five seconds, and the mimics will randomly appear in any direction." Xi Zidu's voice trembled slightly.The blond boy, who had no strength to restrain the chicken, quickly found an abandoned paint bucket, and went straight into it.

The conversation between the three people in the scene will be completely blocked, so the audience can only rely on their behavior to judge.

At this time, the auditorium almost held its breath in anticipation.

Xiao Huaiyan's terminal vibrated.He glanced at the back of Su Ling on the holographic stage, and left the venue quietly.

The faint sound of wind came along with the soft countdown.

When the wind was about to reach the ears, it suddenly passed by like lightning.

But a black figure was faster than the wind.

The simulated mimetic spitting mucus opened a gap, and the polyp was shaking constantly.

Su Ling appeared behind it, holding a dagger from the toolbox in his backhand, and mercilessly chopped off the three tentacles of the mimic.

"Be careful behind you!" Xi Zidu's voice was muffled in the wooden barrel.Bi-colored eyes were exposed through the gaps in the wood chips, and the worry in the eyes turned into shock in the next moment.

Not far away, the dagger was covered in yellow slime.The young man with long hair and black robe looked indifferent, and the nearest holographic mimic collapsed on the ground, kicked up a cloud of dust, and then disappeared.

"Suling: kill 1/4, instantly kill 1."

The cheers from the outside could not be transmitted to the Colosseum.

Su Ling lowered his eyes slightly, his hands were covered with the disgusting liquid of mimics.But he didn't care, instead he caught the danger reflected on the blade.

"Suling: kill 2/4, instantly kill 2."

"Suling: kill 3/4, instantly kill 3."

"Suling: kill 4/4, instantly kill 4."

"Niu, Niu wow..." Xizi held her breath, shook her hand holding the long knife, and threw the weapon away, "I would have gone to study law if I knew it earlier, it's too scary... Ou Chuchu, why didn't you Sound? It's all over, are you okay?"

finished?

Ou Chuchu huddled in the rearmost corner of the Colosseum, holding the gun tightly.

A huge black shadow is slowly squirming in the stands, and countless tentacles are spreading around, accompanied by hidden fear.

Anyway, they are all holographic, and no one can die, so what is there to be afraid of?Big deal...that's just embarrassing.

She took a deep breath, pressed the muzzle of the gun against the gap in the stone wall, and straightened her round glasses.

This is a suppressed gun.

However, after the bullet entered the body of the mimetic, it came out from the other side unharmed, and nothing happened.

The blood-red eyes suddenly lit up in the direction of Ou Chuchu.

Frank's laughter stopped abruptly: "It seems that the Canglan system has predicted the average combat power of this group this time, and directly turned on the berserk mode. The mission objective has been completed 4/5, and the next step is to enter the black box mode. Everyone be careful."

The so-called black box mode is to kill all the mimetic bugs in the scene to come out of it. At the same time, the external audience can't see anything and can only wait for the final result.

Su Ling stopped Ou Chuchu before the tentacles, and took her to a slightly safer place.

He smelled a strong corrosive smell, the smell of death mixed with stench and damp.It is completely different from the four mimics that were killed before.Although this one is smaller and looks like a larva, it will leave traces wherever it goes, and everything will be eroded in fear.

"Hey, are you all right? Why can't I see anything?" Xizi asked eagerly.

The empty area in the center of the Colosseum was filled with a black mist, like a cave leading to the abyss.

Suling swooped towards the simulated mimic.

However, the dagger was as harmless as if it had sliced ​​through the air.

The next moment, the mimetic insect that entered the attacking state rushed towards Suling swiftly, and several translucent sticky tentacles wrapped around his wrist in an instant.

At the same time as the dagger fell, a bright golden light beam appeared in Su Ling's palm.

The light was like a sharp blade, severing the tentacles as it bent.

Su Ling heard its neighing and rolled sideways to avoid the attack.

There were rumbles all around, as if the entire Colosseum was about to collapse.Dust was flying, gravel and boulders were shaking together.

The worm let go of its supporting tentacles, and plundered Suling in mid-air, with only the dazzling beam of light in its eyes.

However, the next moment, a beam of light appeared below it.

What greeted it was an infinite fall towards the black abyss.

Xiao Huaiyan passed through the dark passage, and there was silence in the venue.He raised his head subconsciously, but only saw a huge black cuboid, and the voice inside suggested a fierce fight.

After a while, the black box disappeared.

The screen lights up.

"Suling, 5/5 has been killed. Kill 5 instantly."

The cheers were like a tide, surging forward.Streamers and whistles flew, and screams of excitement drowned out the bellows.

And the young man standing on the high place seemed to be confused for a moment, and looked behind him, there was nothing but the floodlight.

It was as if the dark hole had never appeared before.

On the automatic convertible car driving towards the dormitory, Su Ling turned his head sideways and saw Xiao Huaiyan one meter away.Her hair was disheveled, her thin lips were tightly pressed, as if she was restless.

A loud voice came from an automatic car following behind: "Wow, why is it always a big news this year! Some time ago, the chief was almost assassinated, and today he encountered a bridge collapse during his investigation in the northern galaxy! If the chief I'm going to tell my fate, sir."

"Fortunately, I'm fine. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. It's just that I heard that the chief's wife was slightly injured—"

Xiao Huaiyan closed the car window indifferently.

"What happened?" Su Ling asked.

Xiao Huaiyan glanced at it and looked straight ahead: "It's nothing."

Xiao Yimo said during the call, "It's just a little scratch", but he was more concerned about Xiao Huaiyan's safety.

Although the holographic simulation competition is an annual internal competition of Imperial College, the overall attention is very high.Xiao Huaiyan's participation attracted a lot of unnecessary attention.If it was half a year ago, such as in the Imperial College qualifiers, he would have been able to steal the show.But now is not an appropriate time.

"Have you thought about it?" Xiao Huaiyan simply threw the question to Su Ling.

He considered for a moment, and added: "You are lucky today."

The self-righteous praise did not get any response.

As if he had exhausted his patience with the silence, Xiao Huaiyan raised his eyes slightly and found that Su Ling was always facing the direction of the bell tower.The hour hand stood still, motionless.

The cold wind from the bell tower blew her long black hair, and the ends of her hair hung softly around her waist, shaking slightly.

"Don't look, it will be repaired tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to him leaned his head on the chair and fell into a deep sleep.

When Su Ling fell asleep, he still had a flat expression, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.After a while, perhaps because the cold wind was too harsh, Su Ling fell over the railing crookedly due to the weightlessness.

His forehead slammed into his palm, which was suddenly resting on the metal surface.

Xiao Huaiyan frowned slightly, and then withdrew his hand after a while.He unconsciously lightened his movements and gave his crooked shoulder a little support.The soft hair ran through his fingers, bringing a strange touch.

The whole world was silent for a few seconds.So much so that Xiao Huaiyan's restlessness that he had been suppressing tonight suddenly decreased a lot, his tense nerves calmed down, and the sudden relaxation gave the drowsiness an opportunity to take advantage of.

It seemed like everything was supposed to be like this, quiet and peaceful.

This completely unfamiliar feeling was like a whirlpool, pulling his vigilance back and forth.
