Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 1 Don't be nervous, let's play a game first
Time flies...
Before we knew it, the Qinling Academy was brightly lit all night.
Because, before dawn tomorrow morning, fifty convoys from the academies will set out for the Alsophila academy.
The capital academy of the Huajian family, one of the seven top families, the Alsophila Academy, is located on the south side of the Liuyun family. The Yaoshan tribe, one of the five famous cities on the mainland, is separated from the Alsophila Academy by only the rolling Qianchong Mountains. However, the Qianchong Mountains are too high and the top is covered with snow all year round. It is impossible to climb over them without a certain level of strength.
If you can cross Qianchong Mountain and then pass through Yaoshan Tribe, you will reach the Jingyun Academy of the Liuyun Family.
The straight-line distance between the two academies may not exceed a thousand miles, but going from Jingyun Academy to Alsophila Academy is much more troublesome than going to many other academies.
After all, it is impossible to really pass through the Yaoshan tribe, and it is even more impossible to really cross the Qianchong Mountain.
The top fifty who emerge from the nearly two hundred academies of forty families will compete with the fifty academies in the southern region for the last ten places.
Needless to say, as long as one can make it to the top ten out of the four hundred academies, the top ten academies will definitely be fully staffed even if the places in the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower are very tight next year!
Gradually, it was getting very late.
However, the sounds of carriages and horses were still everywhere in the Qinling Academy.
Leng Zhan and Jiang Wuyan had been called to the room that Fang Junji had arranged for Xu Qingyan.
Tang Zheng told them everything about the blacklist.
Of course, this "thorough" is only relative. After all, Instructor Zou only knows so much, and their information is indeed too little.
"So, what do you think now?" Jiang Wuyan asked.
"Ideas... um." Tang Zheng counted in a low voice, "One, two, three, four, five..."
"Go up the mountain to fight tigers?" Tang Xiaotang replied without thinking.
"There are only six, not enough people..." Tang Zheng shook his head.
"What's not enough people?" Leng Zhan asked.
“Not enough people are playing games…”
Instructor Zou opened his mouth and was about to stuff a peach into it: "Play games?"
Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly: "Don't be nervous, let's play a game first..."
As he spoke, Tang Zheng went out for a while. When he came back, five people who were both unfamiliar and familiar to Instructor Zou and his friends appeared in front of them.
"Let me introduce him. He's a great god who is comparable to the great prophet of the outer world. He can even know the future star masters..." Tang Zheng pointed at the first one and was about to introduce him.
"I'm Fang Junji." Fang Junji smiled, interrupted Tang Zheng's unreliable introduction, and extended his hand to Instructor Zou.
"Ah! Ahhhhh!" Instructor Zou didn't understand what the name Fang Junji meant at first. But when he heard Fang Junji's voice, it was as if someone had hit him on the head with a drum, and he immediately jumped up with a "whoosh".
Speaking of which, the more famous people in Bailu Academy are Li Qingming, Shangguan Su and Chang Qing. In every battle, their performances are the most eye-catching.
However, no one would have thought that these three people with many followers are not targets on the blacklist.
If Tang Shisan was referring to Thirteen, then there were two warriors in the Bailu Academy who were on the demon clan’s blacklist of those to be killed!
"I'm Li Qingming, hello instructor." Li Qingming's whereabouts have always been mysterious. Instructor Zou felt a little dazed when he called him instructor.
"Shangguan Su, hello Instructor Zou! Hello, fellow students." Shangguan Su smiled and looked at Leng Zhan and the others, even throwing a coquettish glance at Tang Xiaotang.
"Chang Qing." As someone who came from Yingshan, Chang Qing didn't speak much and his words were relatively brief.
Looking at him dressed in black and with silent eyes, apart from the fact that his face looked too unsuitable for assassination, Tang Zheng simply felt that compared with his temperament, Azhi didn't even look like a Yingshan man.
Tang Zheng clapped his hands: "Okay, the last kid, Xiaotang, you guys are also familiar with each other, Thirteen."
Tang Xiaotang and the others are very familiar with each other, but Instructor Zou has never seen him.
When he heard his name, he was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that he is the one... the one..."
"Yes, Tang Shisan ." Fang Junji helped Instructor Zou to complete his unfinished words.
Instructor Zou nodded first: "Oh, then there is one less person we are looking for, and there is only..." He said halfway, and suddenly realized, "Wait, how do you know I am talking about Tang Shisan?"
Fang Junji didn't waste any more words and directly took out a piece of parchment from his arms.
Instructor Zou looked at the blank piece of parchment, which only had a complicated battle formation drawn on it, and didn't understand what Fang Junji meant.
However, as Fang Junji injected his star power, the formation diagram seemed to be torn apart in the middle, gradually freeing up fifteen names...
"This...this, this, this." Instructor Zou almost shouted out loud when he looked at the fifteen names.
"Well, this is the original version of the blacklist. The great prophet Tianxu spent twenty years of his life to come up with the blacklist." Fang Junji said it casually, but it attracted everyone's attention in this small room.
Original!
It’s actually the original! How could it be the original? Where did the original come from?
"Oh, the original version is with you. The great prophet Tianxu should have memorized these fifteen names, right? Otherwise..." Tang Zheng touched his nose.
"How is it possible that he didn't memorize it!" Tang Xiaotang was powerless to complain. What was Tang Zheng thinking about?
It's shocking that a great prophet of Tianxu spent twenty years of his life to come up with a blacklist, and now it appears in Fang Junji's hands!
How could I not memorize such an important list?
"We should be more optimistic, okay? Maybe the real body of the great prophet Tianxiu is a goldfish? It only has a seven-second memory..."
"If you dared to say this outside Xinjiang, you would probably be ground into paste." Fang Junji chuckled and shook his head.
What a noble existence is the Great Prophet Tianxiu outside the border?
Tang Zheng's blasphemy against him was no different from blaspheming the Great Demon God Emperor.
Shangguan Su found this very interesting and started to giggle out loud.
And Li Qingming actually asked: "How do you know that goldfish only have a seven-second memory?"
So far, the crooked building party has won a complete victory...
After introducing each other, Tang Zheng asked them to sit in a circle: "Okay, I invited you here to play games, why are you talking so much?"
Instructor Zou was still in complete shock when he heard that Tang Zheng actually wanted to play a game.
What time is it!
You still have time to play games?
"Let me call the roll again. Instructor Zou, Tang Zheng, Tang Xiaotang, Xu Qingyan, Leng Zhan, Jiang Wuyan, Fang Junji, Shisan, Li Qingming, Shangguan Su, and Chang Qing. There are eleven people in total." Tang Zheng said.
"Yeah." Fang Junji and the others were all quite calm. They really were here to play games.
Instructor Zou really thought that this was nonsense.
Then, Tang Zheng took out ten cards and handed them to each of them: "The game we are going to play is called, Close your eyes when it gets dark."
"Please explain the rules of the game." Fang Junji was actually very serious.
Instructor Zou felt that he should not say anything.
Tang Zheng nodded: "These ten identity cards include three good guys, three bad guys, and four bystanders who don't know the truth... In other words..."
"Yeah, we understand." Shangguan Su signaled that he didn't need to explain what the onlookers who were ignorant of the truth meant.
"Each round of the game is divided into a day and a night. At night, the bad guys can discuss killing anyone, and the good guys can investigate whether a person is a bad guy. The onlookers who don't know the truth can do nothing..."
Tang Zheng simply explained the rules of the killing game in his previous life. After he finished, even Instructor Zou was eager to try it.
Tang Xiaotang raised her hand and asked, "What if I get the bad guy's card? I can't tell the good guy?"
"Yes, the bad guys will win when they kill all the good guys, or all the onlookers who don't know the truth."
"Well, you've already said this, I understand."
After Jiang Wuyan and Leng Zhan asked some detailed questions, Tang Zheng distributed the cards to them and shouted the first word: "It's dark, please close your eyes completely."
All ten people closed their eyes.
After Tang Zheng made sure that they all had their eyes closed, he said, "Please open your eyes, bad guys. Please choose a target to kill..."
Although they were not very familiar with the rules, they got to know each other better as the rounds went by.
The first game ended quickly, but everyone asked for another one immediately.
So, Tang Zheng reissued the card...
They played a game for the whole night.
Seeing that it was already dawn, the looks of the ten people were completely different from last night.
"Is that okay? You don't have to play anymore." Tang Zheng said with a smile.
Instructor Zou took a deep breath and looked at Tang Zheng for a long time before saying, "No need. Because... next, we will probably have to play this game for a long, long time..."
"Until the Blazing Flame Cult is destroyed."
"Until all the bad guys who believe in the Blazing Flame Cult and are hiding in our territory are rooted out and killed."
Tang Zheng nodded and looked at all of them: "It's not difficult, right?"
Instructor Zou smiled awkwardly.
In one night, the bad guys only won once.
But he knew that Tang Zheng was certainly not talking about just games.
"Well, are you still nervous?" Tang Zheng looked at Instructor Zou.
Instructor Zou immediately shook his head.
Don't be nervous! Fang Junji's appearance and Tang Shisan's confirmation are already very good news.
Moreover, a night of gaming really eliminated most of his nervousness inexplicably!
“You kids…really…” Instructor Zou sighed several times. He began to understand why the ones on the blacklist were not those nine-star experts from the top families, but a group of children like this.
"It's dark, please close your eyes." Fang Junji repeated thoughtfully in a low voice, and said to Instructor : "Then, in the future, this long game... please guide the way!"
"I will do my best, even if it means death." Instructor Zou never expected that he would be regarded as a torchbearer by such a group of children. His blood immediately boiled.
It's dark, please close your eyes...
That's right, this long game has just begun, and none of them knows where their friends are and who their enemies are.
However, as the daybreaks come again and again, they will surely know more and more, so, just treat it as a game, nothing more than a gamble of life and death!
