God's Prayer and Nightwish

There will always be some subtle changes in the scenery in the dark. The two walked in the direction they came from for almost half an hour based on their memories, and they felt that every empty house around them was very similar.The two of them only rested briefly for 10 minutes. After eating some hard and sour bread, and almost drank the only two bottles of clean water, Hiroshi suddenly caught something in his ears.

"Did you hear that?" Hiroshi slightly tilted his head.

Ye Yuan asked blankly: "What?" Then he heard it too.

"It seems to be over there." Ye Yuan stretched his neck and looked around, "Is there any light?"

"It seems that we didn't pass by there when we came here. Did we go wrong?" Hiji frowned and thought for a while, "But the open sea should indeed be in this direction."

Ye Yuan pursed his lips, and put his hand into Si Si's again to hold it—since he accidentally stepped on the air and almost fell down the stairs just now, the master has been holding him. Although his body is already very tired, Ye Yuan Still holding the contradictory idea that this road will never end in my heart, I followed him step by step.

"Go and have a look." Hiji said.

Following the louder cheers and lights, the two came to a crowded place—the smell of cheap chemical alcohol and fried food wafted in the air, and a large group of people surrounded each other, standing on tiptoe Looking towards the center of the crowd, I don't know what they are joining in the fun.There was a small room surrounded by triple iron railings, outside stood two burly men with their arms folded, and inside sat an older woman with a blank face.

"What are you doing?" Ye Yuan had to shout loudly—the people around were too noisy.

"I don't know, there seems to be some kind of competition, and you can buy lottery here." Hiroshi also replied loudly close to his ear, and he pointed to the notice blackboard on the top of the iron pavilion, which read:

20:00 Bloodthirsty Villain vs Gray Killer

21:00 Death Speed ​​vs Chainsaw

22:00 Crazy David vs? ?

"It looks like some kind of time notice, and the nicknames of the combatants on both sides." Hiji said.

In front of the pavilion, there were many people holding pen refills and preparing to place bets. Two familiar figures in the crowd caught Ye Yuan's attention.

"Rest in peace! Why are you here?" Ye Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

Amid the din of people, Mi Ao still heard his voice, turned his head and said, "You guys are here too..." Then he stopped again—suspiciously looked at the two people who were in a state of embarrassment and disheveled, Mi Ao Stunned: "Why didn't you look at you for a while and became like this?"

An Xi also turned his head when he heard the sound, and seeing Hiroshi's blood-oozing arm, his black eyes widened: "What's the matter with you two? What's wrong with your hand? Let me see!"

Ye Yuan and Hiuji looked at each other, and briefly explained the before and after of the matter.

Anxi expressed great sympathy for their experience, and said, "There are a lot of trauma medicines sold here, and I will deal with them later."

"The two of you just dressed like this?" Mio still found it unbelievable, and said speechlessly, "Isn't that blatantly saying 'come and grab me'?"

Hiji had lost his temper with him, he waved his hands wearily and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Watching a play." Mio said.

Hiji moved forward, he and Mio were both tall, and with a little effort, he could see the scene in the middle of the arena - he suddenly found that they were standing on the top of an arena-like stand, and the entire area was much larger than he imagined Much bigger, like a replica of the Colosseum in ancient Rome.The funnel-shaped auditorium used the pipes and scaffolding of the upper and lower three-story platforms. It is not completely full at the moment, but it has already carried nearly 500 people. The arena in the center of the stand is on the sand field tens of meters below.

"It's such a big stadium, is it okay to bear the weight?" Hijiki wondered in amazement. Although the distance was a bit far, he still had a vague glimpse of the dark red sand dyed in different shades on the empty arena. It is clear at a glance what the activity is.

"We found a way to make money quickly," An Xi said.

"Place a bet?" Hisuji asked, "Who are you fighting against?"

An Xi shook her head: "I don't know."

Hiji disagreed: "The risk is too great. This kind of gambling basically depends on luck, and it's hard to say that it won't be cheated because of the odds."

But Mio shook his finger: "No one will lose on purpose."

Hisashi glanced at him, and the other party motioned him to look down: "Here, losing is death."

The railing on one side of the venue has been raised, and a man stepped out of it. I don't know if it is the "bloodthirsty villain" or the "gray killer" in the trailer.He wore many layers of unmatched armor, and he walked hesitantly and slowly. The audience on the upper and lower floors burst into excited roars. They slammed the steel pipes around them with their water bottles, and the huge sound shook the platform and the ground under their feet. Everyone's eardrums.

Hiji and Yeyuan both had injuries to their arms so they couldn't squeeze forward, but Mio easily pushed away the group of people with one hand and the other - although the people who were pushed away were not very happy, they didn't make a sound after being stared at by Mio The four of them squeezed to a position where they could barely see the arena, and it happened that the iron railing on the other side was also closed.

Suddenly, a ferocious dog rushed out of it, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a mutated gray wolf!Its neck was dragged by an iron chain, and it was embedded under the flesh, but the gray wolf didn't feel it—the blood of hundreds of fresh human beings in the field drove it crazy, its scarlet eyes were full of killing intent, and it backed away and kicked forward desperately. Then, the fingernails dug deep and overturned in the sand and gravel.

"'Grey Killer' is a mutated creature?" Hiji couldn't believe it, "How could someone bring such a dangerous thing to Humoti! What if the infection spread out? It's over if you get caught!"

Mio nodded: "That's why I said that it is impossible for someone to fake a game, because there is no winning or losing here, there is life and death."

With a sound of "哐!", the small pavilion behind him pulled down the iron bars—the betting was over, and the odds of "Bloodthirsty Villain" and "Grey Killer" came out: 1 to 39.

"Who did you buy?" Hiji asked.

Mio said: "Grey Wolf."

Hiji frowned and said, "Even if you win, you won't make any money."

Mi Ao raised his eyebrows and said, "But if you buy another one, you will pay for it. Look at him."

Hisuji took a closer look at the "bloodthirsty villain" again. His shoulders and knees were retracted, and he was trembling slightly. He was holding a crude shield and a sword of questionable sharpness in his hand.I don't know how he got himself into this situation, but it was definitely not his intention to appear in front of the mutant wolf—he looked terrified, and he obviously didn't have much relevant combat experience. This kind of name is also randomly chosen by someone.

Anxi explained: "I heard that this person seems to owe a lot of money. He played this game with at least [-] refills. If he wins and buys himself to win, he will get rich!"

After hearing this, Hiuji had a completely different feeling—this battle of betting his life was actually for a mere hundred pen refills!

"Everyone in the audience!"

After a harsh electric sound, loudspeakers in all directions uttered a human voice that shook people's eardrums: "Welcome to Limburg's most popular after-dinner entertainment program—the Colosseum of Colosim!"

The excited roar of the audience and the sound of the water bottle hitting the steel pipe swept over again.

"The opening for everyone today is the rookie player 'Bloodthirsty Villain'. The weapons he chooses are steel shields and swords. Although traditional, they are classics. Let us applaud him!"

Sparse perfunctory applause sounded in the arena, and the 'bloodthirsty villain' didn't raise his head to greet anyone at all, he was still holding his weapon nervously against his chest and panting heavily.

"There." Mio took the time to point Anxi to a corner on the side of the third floor. There stood a man in a burgundy red suit and a black top hat. He was holding a loudspeaker microphone in his hand. host here.

"On the other side, stands our last defending champion 'Grey Killer'!" As soon as he finished speaking, cheers and whistles broke out in the arena, which was much more enthusiastic than before. The host continued: "In the past few During the week, the 'Grey Killer' brought us many exciting events, and even contributed to the thrilling three-game winning streak in the last championship game! Although it suffered a lot of injuries, today's performance is still worth looking forward to !"

Hisashi squinted his eyes and looked over - sure enough, the gray wolf's head, shoulders and four claws were covered with bloody flesh, which should be considered a serious injury for a mutant creature with super healing ability. He leaned over and rushed towards Mio Said: "Look, gray wolf is injured, it doesn't mean who wins or loses."

Mi Ao didn't take it seriously: "This wolf after being injured, it is estimated that it will take 5 minutes to deal with the opponent."

Hiji looked at him in surprise: "What if you don't get hurt?"

Mio said: "Instakill."

The whistle that resounded through the audience whistled past, and the iron chain that was holding the mutated gray wolf's neck was instantly loosened.

The man bent his legs back, holding the handle of the shield with both hands to fight it with all his strength—the gray wolf's head hit the shield heavily, and the loud noise of the impact was clearly transmitted to their ears dozens of meters away.The gray wolf struck several times in a row, and the man was almost unable to withstand such a strong attack, let alone lift the sword in his hand to fight back.

After the fifth impact, he rolled to the side with all his strength, and the gray wolf threw himself on the ground, gnawed a mouthful of sand, and there was a burst of muffled laughter in the arena.

The man stood up again, and this time he finally opened his knees, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a fighting posture.Gray Wolf's limbs slipped on the sand, but quickly turned its attention and rushed towards the man again.

This time the man did not choose to use brute force to resist the gray wolf's attack, but used the shield as a red cloth for the bullfight, leaned sideways to give way, and at the same time raised the long sword with his left hand, and slashed at the gray wolf's head fiercely—this is He used a lot of strength, but the gray wolf moved forward too fast, and a long and deep wound appeared on the wolf's bald back.

The gray wolf hissed and twitched to avoid the pain on its back. The man took the opportunity to raise his hand and gave it a second sword. Although the force was much lighter than before, it still stabbed the gray wolf's right eye.

"There is hope!" Nightwish said.

But in the next second, Gray Wolf rushed towards the man with all his strength, with such force that he knocked away the shield that the man was holding with one hand, and the audience screamed.The next moment, the man gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, pointed the tip of the sword straight at the gray wolf's angry mouth, and pierced its throat with a sword!The sword pierced through the back of its head, but the man didn't have time to be happy—after the upper jaw was pierced alive, the gray wolf's strength remained undiminished, and he still threw him on the ground regardless of the pain.The next moment, bright red blood splashed on the yellow sand, and Hiroshi and Yeyuan subconsciously avoided their sight quickly. The man's entire face and chest were scratched to a bloody mess. mouth to bite him.

The man's shrill screams were drowned out by the audience's roars. Mio looked back at the clock on the top of the betting booth and said, "Four minutes and 20 seconds."
