Chapter 69 The Labyrinth Opens
The atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly. Everyone was surprised but speechless.
The face under the black scarf showed no reaction. Sass neither spoke nor expressed any expression. Facing this naked provocation, he seemed to have seen nothing. He just stretched out his hand to take the ribbon and tied it.
On his own wrist.
"You haven't killed anyone of mine, and I'm not retaliating because you planned to attack me. I just can't stand what you did." Arthur's expression was serious and upright, "If someone like you is allowed to become a light reader,
It is an insult to the identity of a Light Master."
"..." Sas ignored him completely, his eyes were filled with numbness.
"I will defeat you. In this trial, I will do it even if I don't want to advance."
Arthur declared war in a high-pitched voice with everyone in the audience looking at him in surprise, while those who had been in the Dark Star team sneered. They all knew the strength of Sass, and if you provoke him, you will definitely not end well.
Don’t forget, this is not an aboveboard one-on-one duel. All kinds of underhanded methods can be tolerated in the trial field. No matter how strong you are, there will always be times when you relax, and there will always be moments when you are tired.
At that time, it was not certain who was hunting whom.
After such a wonderful warm-up, Buffer immediately announced the official start of the hunt. Unlike the coin competition, which has a loose time limit, this hunting duel only lasts for ten hours. Once you enter, you must race against time and not waste any time.
Each candidate received their own radar, which is a small display screen worn on the wrist. It is both a radar and a positioning device. It can help you find your target. At the same time, your hunter also relies on it to find your location and display it.
There is no information on the screen except the target's location. When the two of you get close to each other, you don't even know who the other person is. The moment you meet, it's time to fight.
The same rules as the first session, the candidates were airdropped into the examination room in batches by aircraft, and everyone was sent to a random position. When the last person entered the maze, the trial officially began, and the countdown began to beat.
Genn was put into a corner of the maze, and the huge site of the first trial was completely replaced by this large maze. Compared with before, the current maze site looks much boring, and only dirt can be seen everywhere.
Yellow masonry and towering walls divide the site into a huge maze of layers, leaving only an aisle of more than two meters in the middle.
"It's really difficult to complete such a large maze in ten hours, so race against time." Genn raised his hand and looked at the radar.
Only three red dots were displayed on the screen, which were the three targets that Genn was looking for. The "hunter" who was currently tracking him was not displayed, which meant that everyone could only see the location of the targets.
Not knowing where the "hunter" approaching him was, he could instantly feel a sense of nervous oppression.
First of all, you have to make sure that your strap is not snatched away, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain. Genn tied the strap on his wrist generously. It doesn't matter how concealed it is. No matter how deep you hide it,
When you are really defeated by the "Hunter", he will probably find a way to turn it out.
There are no markers in the maze, and it is easy to lose your way while walking in it. If it weren't for the light spots on the radar getting closer and closer, Genn would even feel that he was walking in circles. The radar can only give a rough direction. Sometimes
If you encounter a dead end, you can only go back and start again.
It might be much easier if you had the ability to fly. The walls that make up the maze are about seven or eight meters high, almost three stories high. The walls are smooth and there are no climbing points. Although Gern can create wings, those bone wings are the most common.
It can only glide, in other words flutter, and cannot fly on such a high wall.
When Baff announced the rules, he didn't say that he couldn't destroy the wall. Anyone could do it without any taboos, but it was unwise to waste energy on the wall in order to take a shortcut, and making such a loud noise would also reveal his position.
.
After hitting dead ends several times, Genn finally approached a red dot and immediately accelerated his speed around the corner to attack the opponent!
"Ahhh!" The other party was startled, fell back and sat on the ground. He raised his hand to protect his face and saw Genn through his fingers. The expression on his face became even more frightened.
"Joel? You're lucky, I bumped into you first." Gen put his hands on his hips and leaned over with a malicious look on his face, while Joel was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
The boy collapsed on the ground, still clutching the strap with his number written on it in his hand. It was handed to him by Gen himself when he entered the venue. Even in the face of a powerful enemy that he could not defeat, Joel still
Instead of obediently handing over the belt and surrendering and begging for mercy, he stood up from the ground, forced himself to cheer up, and looked like he was going to fight Genn to the death.
"Oh? Won't you surrender? If a fight breaks out, I can't control the severity," said Gen.
"Stop looking down on people!" What he said should have been very powerful, but Joel said it submissively. A mechanical hook suddenly protruded from the large backpack behind him.
The hook claw seemed to be ejected at high speed by some device, and it quickly attacked Gen. The latter summoned the bone claw and split it with a blow. The severed hook claw hit the wall heavily and fell directly into the deep crack.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Joel took out something like a glove from his pocket, put it on his arm, and when he raised his hand, he fired a light thought bomb!
Genn had never seen Yoel fighting before. He originally thought it was similar to ordinary condensed bombs, and planned to use his bone claws to block it. However, the moment he got closer, Genn felt the violent fluctuations coming from the sphere, and
He stopped what he was doing, twisted his waist hard, and ducked away.
The sphere exploded violently on the wall, creating a wave of air. A large circle of masonry shattered and fell off the wall. Genn did not give Yoel a chance to fight back. He dodged the blow and quickly jumped onto the wall.
Using the momentum from jumping from a high place, he spread out his bone wings and rushed towards Yoel.
He grabbed the big bag behind Yoel with one hand, held down the opponent's head with the other hand, kicked the waist with a sweeping kick, and directly pushed Yoel to the ground with his own weight and the inertia of the dive.
"Boom!" There was a loud sound like a drum. The drum generally symbolized the beginning of the battle, but now the battle was over.
"Well..." Joel gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but the strap in his hand still refused to let go.
But it was obviously all in vain. This trick was used by Lucky Rabbit's Foot in the virtual fighting room. Even though Gen was suppressed, there was still nothing he could do.
"Do you have a self-exploding bomb or something in your bag? If not, you lose."
"I won't admit defeat, you guy! You just chose me because you thought I was weak! I will prove it to you!" Joel showed a rare courage, but unfortunately there is no way to save it now.
"Get up." Genn released his suppression, walked to the side, and stretched out his hand to Joel to pull him up.
"What are you doing? Are you still insulting me?"
"I didn't intend to take your belt from the beginning. I gave you the belt. Others saw it and wouldn't attack you. It was you who suddenly wanted to attack me. Of course I have to fight you seriously out of respect.
, You played well, let's practice seriously in the future." Genn explained. The latter had some doubts, but finally stretched out his hand and let Genn pull him up.
"It scared me to death..."
"I'm like that kind of person. I planned to get five belts, two other tokens, and three mind beasts from the beginning. Hey, helping you only increases my workload. You have to help me."
"After all, it's about promotion, and everyone will do whatever it takes."
"Don't think that others are like you. Didn't Arthur choose Sass? Who is easier to deal with than Sass?" Genn looked at Joel with disdain. If the two of them were in different positions, Joel would never be like him.
He was so kind, but of course he didn't care.
Just as the two were talking, the broadcast in the sky suddenly sounded.
"The first person to pass the trial has appeared. It lasted twenty-four minutes, the fastest record in the history of hunting duel!" Buffer's voice came from the radio, "Congratulations to candidate Sass, everyone else should continue to work hard.
.”
"What? How could it be so fast!" Joel was almost stunned. He found three targets in more than 20 minutes. This is simply unimaginable!
"It's not impossible. He simply followed the radar and randomly found nine people as soon as he entered the venue." Genn guessed the result.
"Is it because you are afraid of Arthur? This way Arthur will have one less target."
"Not necessarily. Sasse is a murderous maniac. For him, of course, the more people he kills, the better. Regardless of whether he is a target or not, if he is asked to do the trolley problem, he will definitely put all the people on the two tracks into one
on the rails, and then they were all crushed to death."
"It's too scary... I hope I won't run into him next time." Joel shuddered, then looked at Gen, "But I still don't understand, why do you want to help me? We have only known each other for a few days.
Right? This is not common sense."
"Didn't you surrender just now? You know that you can't beat me. This is not consistent with common sense. You know your own strength, but you must keep moving forward. I want to know why." Genn said bluntly, he always said to
He has a good impression of weak but strong-willed people. These people always remind him of his sister.
"...Do you know this? Pava and the others told you."
Joel pondered for a moment and raised his hand. The metal glove gave off a dazzling luster in the sun, and the moving mechanical structure inside could be seen through the armor.
"Gloves? What's wrong with this?"
