The Counterattack of the Villains

When Zhan Lan and his party returned to the vicinity of Shibuya Station, they suddenly heard a shout coming from the street to the north.扱

Everyone looked in the direction where the shouts came from, and saw three young men running towards the street to the north, waving their arms and shouting things like "Wait a minute."

The three young men were about the same age, all in their twenties or thirties.

One of the young men with medium to long hair was very handsome. He was wearing a light green T-shirt, a pair of casual shorts, and a pair of sandals on his feet.

The other young man looks similar to the young gangster among the newcomers to the Central Continent team. His hair is dyed yellow, his body is relatively strong, and he is also the tallest among the three.

The last young man wore a striped shirt on his upper body, a pair of trousers on his lower body, and a pair of leather shoes on his feet. He looked like a company employee.

After seeing the appearance of the three people clearly, Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu looked at each other and smiled. These three people were none other than the male protagonist Ryohei Arisu and his two childhood friends, Shota Seikawa and Daikichi Kagawa.

After the three of them ran closer to the crowd, they saw Arnold's huge size. They couldn't help but secretly marvel in their hearts, and at the same time they were a little afraid.

The handsome Arisu Ryohei was the first to speak: "Hello, do you know what happened here? Where has everyone gone?"

Zhan Lan pretended to be strange and asked: "Why don't you know what's going on?"

Ryohei Arisu said quickly: "I don't know, but the power suddenly went out when we were going to the toilet at the subway station. When we came out, we found that everyone had disappeared."

Zhan Lan thought for a while and asked: "Do you know what parallel space is?"

Upon hearing Zhan Lan's words, Arisu Ryohei and the other three looked at each other, and their eyes widened.

The yellow-haired young man Gobe Daikichi said with a look of astonishment on his face: "You don't mean to say that we have entered a parallel space, do you?"

Zhan Lan smiled and said: "Besides this reason, is there any other situation that can make so many people disappear in just a few minutes?"

"this……"

The three of them were speechless. Arisu Ryohei asked again: "It seems that you know this world very well. Can you tell us about the situation in this world?"

Zhan Lan said indifferently: "Of course, this world is called the Land of Dying."

"The Land of the Dying? What a strange name." Arisu Ryohei followed the style of asking questions when you don't understand, and said: "Why is it called this name?"

Zhan Lan said: "Because in this world, only those who are on their deathbed have the opportunity to enter."

"Nani?" Seikawa Zhang said very funny: "You don't mean to say that the three of us were about to die, so that's why we came here?"

Seeing this, Zhan Lan said with a smile but not a smile: "Why, don't you believe it?"

Mrs. Seikawa Zhang spread her hands with an innocent face and said: "But we are obviously alive and well. We just went to the toilet. How could we suddenly be about to die?"

Zhan Lan's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly pointed at Xiao Honglu and said: "You can ask this little brother, he also entered just now."

The three of them immediately looked at Xiao Honglu. The boy rolled his eyes secretly, but said with no emotion on his face: "I was also here just now, but I was not in the center, so I saw what happened with my own eyes."

"Just now, a large meteorite suddenly fell from the sky and landed near Shibuya Station, destroying the entire area."

"You three and I are all relatively lucky and did not die on the spot, so we have the opportunity to come here."

The three of them were stunned. What Xiao Honglu said was really too ridiculous.

Suddenly, Mrs. Seikawa Zhang seemed to think of something, her face couldn't help but change, and she exclaimed to Arisu Ryohei and Komabe Daikichi: "Arisu, Komabe, do you still remember those fireworks we saw?"

"Fireworks?" Komabe Daikichi asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the fireworks?"

Mrs. Seikawa said with an ugly face: "Fireworks are prohibited in the city during normal times. They are only allowed during the Sumida River Fireworks Party."

"And fireworks are set off at night. Who would set off fireworks in broad daylight? What's more, today is just an ordinary day, not a special day."

Komabe Daikichi said impatiently: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Arisu Ryohei suddenly shouted: "I understand what Mrs. Zhang means. Do you want to say that those are not fireworks at all?"

Mrs. Seikawa nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, those are not fireworks, but fireworks caused by the friction between meteorites entering the atmosphere and the atmosphere."

"So, what this little brother said is probably true. We really encountered a meteorite attack."

Arisu Ryohei said in a daze: "In other words, in the real world, we are really on our deathbed. We... are about to die."

Zhan Lan interjected: "That's the fact. This world is an opportunity given to us by God, a chance to live."

"If we can survive in this world and complete all the games, then in the real world we can survive through the dangerous period."

"If we die in this world, we will really die in the real world."

"Game?" When Arisu Ryohei heard these two words, his eyes immediately lit up and he asked: "What kind of game?"

Zhan Lan said: "All kinds of games, escape games, puzzle games, action games, any game you can think of or unexpected, you may encounter here."

"But no matter what game, there is one most basic point, that is...failure means death."

Zhan Lan did not explain in detail the game mode of Black Red Plum Fang. She did not want to change the plot too much, which would increase the difficulty of the plot.

The three of them were shocked, and fear flashed across their eyes.

Mrs. Seikawa asked Zhan Lan: "Excuse me, how many games do we need to complete before we can leave here?"

Zhan Lan said: "There are 52 games, each game corresponds to a poker card, and it is divided into two stages."

"The first stage corresponds to a number plate, and the size of the number also represents the difficulty. The larger the number, the higher the difficulty. After completion, you can obtain the number of visa days corresponding to the number."

"The so-called visa days represent the number of days you can survive safely in this world."

"Once your visa expires, you will be wiped out of this world before you go to the next game and get a new visa."

"The second stage is the JQK head card. When people who enter the Kingdom of the Dying and clear all 52 games, they can choose to leave the Kingdom of the Dying and return to the real world."

"Then you can wake up in the real world, get through the dangerous period, and continue to live."

After listening to Zhan Lan's explanation, the three of them felt secretly chilled in their hearts.

There is such a thing as a visa, which eliminates the possibility for people who enter the Land of the Dying to wait for others to beat the game by paddling, and win directly.

The Kingdom of the Dying forces everyone to participate in the game and give themselves a chance to survive.

Arisu Ryohei glanced at everyone and asked Zhan Lan: "Since you know so much news, you must have been here for a long time, right?"

Zhan Lan shook his head and said: "It hasn't been long, but for those of you who have just entered, you can be considered a veteran. The information I know is all from the mouths of 'citizens'."

Hearing another new term, Arisu Ryohei quickly asked: "What is a citizen?"

Zhan Lan said: "After all the games are cleared, the Land of Dying will ask all players whether they want to leave. Those who choose to leave will survive in the real world."

"But there are also some people who choose to stay because they are completely disappointed with the real world and cannot find the meaning of life, or they simply like the excitement of the Land of the Dying."

"Those who choose to stay will become citizens of the Land of the Dying. In the real world, most of them will become vegetative."

"These citizens often appear in some games as game bosses to fight against players like us."

"Our information was obtained from the mouth of a citizen who was defeated by us."

"In that game, the opponent and I were sympathetic to each other and knew that I was likely to lose, so he told me the news before the final confrontation."

All the team members were a little amused when they heard that Zhan Lan turned on the unlimited cheating mode.

However, they have all received professional training. No matter how funny it is, they will not laugh and they will definitely be able to hold it back.

Having understood everything that should be known, Arisu Ryohei finally asked: "Can we act together with you?"

"I am quite talented in various games, and in the real world I am a game nerd."

"Mrs. Zhang has read a lot of books. She is very knowledgeable and understands many things."

"Kanbe's skills are very good and he will definitely play an important role in confrontation games. We will not become a burden."

Zhan Lan shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, we can't agree to this, because in some games, players will face situations of killing each other."

"Sometimes in order to survive, we will even betray our partners, so if we weren't someone we absolutely trust, we wouldn't be together."

Hearing this, Arisu Ryohei and Seikawa Chota both turned pale.

Komabe Daikichi, on the other hand, was unconvinced and passed his fingers across the others, saying, "What about them? Why can you trust them?"

Zhan Lan's lips curved slightly and she said: "You three should be very good friends in the real world, and you can absolutely trust each other, right?"

"Our situation is the same as yours. They are all my relatives and friends in the real world."

The three of them were speechless. What the other party said was very clear. In this world, unless you have absolute trust, you will never make friends easily.

When the three of them were distracted, Zhan Lan suddenly gave Zheng Zha a secret look.

The long-term tacit understanding allowed Zheng Zha to understand her meaning instantly.

She had already told them the protagonist's first game before, and it was a game that everyone could clear, so they would definitely play this game.

But the subsequent games are full of uncertainty, so they will never hang out with the protagonist again.

Now that Zhan Lan has said it all, it can cut off their thoughts and prevent the protagonist from clinging to them all the time.

So if you want to play the protagonist's game, and then get rid of the protagonist, you need someone to "smooth things out".

Zheng Zha, who thought about this immediately, coughed lightly and attracted everyone's attention.

He said to Zhan Lan: "Xiao Lan, when we first entered, if there wasn't a senior person to guide us, I'm afraid we would have died without knowing anything."

"Since the three of them are destined to meet us, why don't we take them for a ride as well."

"After a game, they must have entered the state. From now on, they will live and die according to their destiny. What do you think?"

When Arisu Ryohei and the other three heard his words, their eyes lit up and they looked at him with gratitude.

But they also saw that the leader of this small group was the woman Zhan Lan, so they all looked at Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan crossed his arms across his chest, pretending to lower his head and think for a moment. Under the expectant eyes of the three people, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's just for this one, and after one, they will go their separate ways."

The three of them were overjoyed. Seikawa Zhang Tai bowed repeatedly and said: "Thank you, thank you."

Zhan Lan turned around and looked around, looking at a cafe next to the subway station and said: "There should be a game venue nearby. Let's go there to rest first and wait for the game time to start."

No one had any objections, and the next group of people walked towards the coffee shop.

Arisu Ryohei asked Zhan Lan: "When does the game usually start?"

Zhan Lan said: "It's before midnight, so there is still some time to rest. If you have anything you want to do, just go and come back before midnight."

It was past five o'clock in the evening, and there were still five or six hours before the game started. A nap was enough.

Taken together, the three of them came in at noon and have been running around since then, returning home or work to check the situation. They haven't eaten anything yet, so the three of them decided to go to a nearby restaurant to get something to eat.

After the Zhongzhou team arrived at the coffee shop, Zhan Lan asked Xiao Honglu to continue telling everyone about the games that had appeared, while she went straight to the kitchen.

She found some materials and made some hand-ground coffee by herself.

Everyone drank coffee and listened to Xiao Honglu's explanation of the game.

When it got dark, Xiao Honglu had finished talking, and Arisu Ryohei and the other three had eaten and drank enough and returned to the cafe.

As time went by, the sky became darker and darker, there were no lights in the whole city, and it was pitch black outside.

The moment the lights appear, it is when registration for the game begins.

There was a sofa in the coffee shop, and everyone was taking a nap on the sofa. Zhao Yingkong paid attention to the time.

When the time came to 11:30 midnight, it suddenly became bright outside.

Zhao Yingkong immediately woke everyone up, Zhan Lan stood up and said: "Registration for the game has started, let's go."

Everyone walked out of the coffee shop and looked in the direction of the light source. It was a building with entirely glass exterior walls.

What surprised Arisu Ryohei and others was that it was obviously just ordinary tempered glass, not a screen like an LED, but it lit up brightly.

On the screen formed by the glass exterior wall of the building, the words "Welcome players, the game is about to begin" are displayed.

After a minute, the screen changed to an arrow, with "Please go this way to the game venue" displayed under the arrow.

"Walk."

Everyone followed the arrow's directions and ran all the way to the game venue.

Ten minutes later, they came to a building whose exterior wall was covered with orange light bulbs.

There is an LED sign light on the top of the building, but the sign has the words "Game Building" on it, and a plum blossom sign is displayed below.

This means that this building is a club game.
