The Counterattack of the Villains

At 23:00 in the evening, the Toei Sendagaya Apartment opposite suddenly became brighter, and the neon lights of the game venue's sign began to shine.

Li Mu, the Hatter and others, who were sitting in a group on the rooftop and chatting happily, stood up and walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked across.

Because there are no lights on their side, but the lights on the other side are bright, it will cause darkness under the lights.

When you are in the apartment opposite, you can't see clearly what's going on here, but here you can see the opposite side clearly.

Without saying much, what should be said has been said before. Zhan Lan's group and Xiao Honglu's group gathered on their own and went straight downstairs.

Each of them carried a walkie-talkie with him, and all of them plugged in earphones to act as instant messengers.

Su Guo Du Yuan on the Hatter's side didn't say anything and silently followed Zhan Lan and others. It was obvious that the two sides had some tacit understanding.

As a person who relies on her brains, Anri Tsuruna, although her physical strength and fighting ability are not bad, she generally does not participate in spades games if it is not necessary.

When the Hatter saw Li Mu and the others coming out with eight people, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You have so many people coming in? Aren't you afraid of casualties?"

In his opinion, it is best not to have more than 5 companions entering the same game, preferably 3 to 4, and this is limited to spades and clubs.

For diamond games and heart games, the fewer people entering, the better. It is best to play alone.

Entering eight people at once like Li Mu and others is actually a very dangerous act, because the more people there are, the higher the casualty rate will be.

Li Mu tilted his head and said indifferently: "There are games that can cause us casualties, but it will never be the spades game."

"In fact, for us, the dangers in this world come from the rules of various games, not the games themselves."

Having said this, he turned to look at the Hatter, showed a smile, and continued: "We are professionals in fighting."

After hearing what Li Mu said, the Hatter smiled helplessly and said nothing more. The other party should indeed have such confidence.

After he learned about the composition of this group of people from Anri Haruna, he was also secretly surprised.

Mercenaries, professional killers, fighters, retired special forces, scientists, a group of people like this come together, and I really don't know what they do in the real world.

Maybe people like me are not even qualified to meet them in the real world.

However, the Land of the Dying has nothing to do with the real world. After leaving here, they will lose all memories of it.

Therefore, the Hatter had no intention of inquiring; his curiosity was not serious at all.

Anyway, once they leave here, there will be no connection between them. They are not from the same world, and there will be no intersection, so why bother?

As long as they can work together in The Last Kingdom and work together to clear all games, that's enough.

…

There is no doubt that Zhan Lan and the others were the first to enter the game venue and sign up for the game.

In the elevator room on the first floor of the apartment, 16 mobile phones were placed on the table, indicating that the maximum number of people in this game was 16.

Everyone took out a mobile phone and turned it on to scan their faces.

"There are currently 9 participants in the game, and there are still 26 minutes and 37 seconds before the end of registration. Please wait patiently for the game to start."

It seems that this game, with the number of registrations not reaching the upper limit, will finally start at 23:30.

This is the first time for everyone to encounter such a time when there is so much time to register.

Su Guo Du Yuan has a relatively taciturn character. He just stands there coolly with his hands in his pockets and does not communicate with other people.

Zhan Lan and others had nothing to say to him, and they had no intention of relying on his power.

They have to solve this game quickly and neatly by themselves, fully demonstrating their strength to the Hatter.

Therefore, everyone is just warming up and getting ready for strenuous exercise.

After a while, other players arrived one after another.

The first ones to arrive were two pretty young women. Judging from the names they called each other, one was named Aso and the other was named Xiaocai.

They seem to be newbies, but they are not just newbies who don't know anything. They are probably quasi-newcomers who have just experienced one game, just like the protagonist group.

Later, a middle-aged woman and two middle-aged men arrived. They silently took their mobile phones and stood aside silently. It was obvious that they were no longer newcomers.

When there were only two mobile phones left, a handsome man wearing a hooded sweater with medium-long blond hair walked in.

There was a bit of cynicism on his face, and he didn't seem to take the game to heart. He gave people a "hey, just playing" feeling.

When the man saw Su Guo Du Yuan, he was obviously startled. Then he smiled nonchalantly and raised his hand to wave to him as a greeting.

Su Guo Du Yuan just glanced at him indifferently, then turned away, not taking him seriously.

The man was asking for trouble and didn't care. After taking out a mobile phone, he leaned against the wall and waited quietly.

However, his eyes glanced at Arnold a few more times. In fact, no one who entered here could ignore Arnold's existence, and everyone would look at him a few more times.

Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu were both secretly sizing up the blond man. This guy was exactly what Li Mu called the wisest man on the seaside, Shuntaro Soya who was a doctor by profession.

In a sense, he should belong to the second male lead in this world. At this stage, he and the Hatter are actually not of the same mind.

However, he had no intention of going against the Hatter or the Fighting Faction. He just felt that the situation on the beach was too unstable, so he wanted to leave the beach and fly solo.

One of the cadres of the Hatter Faction, the karate master Sui Jiguang is his accomplice, and the two have been secretly plotting to steal the playing cards collected by the Hatter.

Because they all believe that the way to leave this world is to collect all the playing cards.

After Shuntaro Soya arrived, the last player also appeared quickly. He was a young man in his twenties.

He was wearing a blue and white plaid shirt and a sun hat on his head. Judging from the questions he asked as soon as he came in, he was obviously a new guy.

Just as Li Mu and others had speculated before, because the protagonist group already knew the truth about the Land of Dying in advance, Seikawa Chota was not injured.

Therefore, with sufficient visas, Arisu Ryohei and the others will not continue to participate in games like the Nakasu team.

Even if I want to participate in games, I will only do so when my visa is about to expire and I have no choice but to do so.

Because they don't have enough motivation, and they don't have to try to find out the truth about the Land of Dying like in the original plot.

So their current mentality is somewhat Buddhist, and they hope that others will quickly clear all the games so that they can survive in the real world.

Due to the above reasons, in tonight’s 5 of Spades game, the main protagonists are absent, including the heroine Usagi Yuzuha.

From the moment Li Mu and his entourage came to this world, the protagonists of this world were no longer Arisu Ryohei and the others, but Team Nakasu.

So the name of this world now can definitely be called "Zhongzhou Team in the Land of Dying".

"Dingdong... Registration has ended. There are 16 players participating. The game is about to begin. This game is 'Hide and Seek' with a difficulty level of 5 of spades."

Although the time has not yet come, because the number of registered players has reached the limit, registration ends early and the game will start early.

After reading the content displayed on the phone, the young man in the hat looked around, and then approached Zheng Zha, who looked kinder.

He asked with some respect: "I'm sorry, senior, what's going on? I came here before I understood the situation."

Zheng Zha patted him on the shoulder and said: "I can't explain it in a sentence or two. In short, this is a game. You just need to follow the rules and pass the game and you will be fine."

"I will tell you in detail what the situation is after I finish the game. Pay attention to the rules."

After listening to Zheng Zha's words, the young man bowed repeatedly and said: "Oh, okay, thank you, senior. My name is Ryutian Kangda, how do I call you?"

Zheng Zha said: "My name is Zheng Zha. Please follow me as much as possible for a while and don't run around."

Ryuda Kangda naturally wanted it, so he quickly said: "Yes, senior, please take care of me."

Zheng Zha is certainly not the Virgin Mary who has contracted it again. He has experienced so much and is no longer the Virgin Mary he was before.

The reason why he looked at this boy differently was because when this boy came, Zhan Lan quietly told him that this young man named Longtian Kangda was good at mechanical maintenance.

They have so many vehicles, and they are all old models, so there will be some problems, so they can't ask Chu Xuan and the others to do everything.

After absorbing this guy, this kind of logistical matters can be completely handed over to him, saving them a lot of trouble.

"The rules are as follows: Players cannot be caught by 'ghosts'. During the game time, they must find a 'position' from a certain room in the apartment. After touching the objects in the position, the level will be cleared successfully."

"The time limit for this game is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the time bomb in the apartment will automatically detonate."

After reading the rules of the game, Ryuda Yasuda widened his eyes, looked at Zheng Zha in shock, and said cautiously: "Senior, the time bomb mentioned here..."

Zheng Zha said seriously: "It's true. You can understand this game this way. There is a time bomb placed in this apartment, which is enough to level the entire apartment."

"And in a certain room in this apartment, there is a device that can disarm the bomb. All we need to do is find this room."

"But while we are looking for this room, enemies called 'ghosts' will come out to attack us to prevent us from finding that room."

"So we have to hide and seek with the 'ghost', avoid his pursuit, and at the same time search for the location of the room."

After listening to Zheng Zha's summary, the two senior middle-aged men nodded secretly. He basically explained the essence of this game clearly.

Zhan Lan raised the corner of his mouth and said unhurriedly: "Compared to avoiding the ghost's pursuit and playing hide-and-seek with him, I think it would be better to kill the ghost directly and then calmly search the room."

Su Guo Du Yuan raised his eyelids and seemed not surprised by her decision.

On the other hand, Shuntaro Soya looked at her in surprise, wondering where her confidence came from.

A middle-aged man said sarcastically: "Little girl, you don't know how high the sky is. Do you know what a 'ghost' is? Just dare to kill the ghost."

Zhan Lan didn't care about his attitude. He was just an insignificant passerby and could not be offended.

She just said indifferently: "It's nothing more than combatants with weapons arranged by the game party. It's not like we have never experienced such a game."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the others, but made his own arrangements: "After the game starts, we will each be responsible for searching a floor."

"Zheng Zha and Longtian are responsible for the first floor, Yingqi is responsible for the second floor, Zhu Wen is responsible for the third floor, Yingkong is responsible for the fourth floor, I am responsible for the fifth floor, Wuji is responsible for the sixth floor, and Arnold is responsible for the seventh floor."

"Honglu, you are observing the overall situation at the right end of the seventh floor and reporting the location of the 'ghost' at any time. Do you have any questions?"

She was talking lively there, but the natives looked confused when they heard her.

Shuntaro Soya came to his senses and realized that there were actually nine people in this group who were in the same group.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhan Lan said the last words, the eight people named by her, including Tatsuta Kouta, responded in unison: "No problem."

After saying that, they all took out the walkie-talkies from their trouser pockets, stuck them on the belt on their back waist, and then put the earplugs into their ears.

Zhan Lan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then just follow the plan. When the 'ghost' appears, kill it if you can. If you can't, avoid it first."

"Each floor has two elevators and two corridors. There is quite a lot of space to avoid ghosts. As long as everyone reminds each other of the location of ghosts in time, they won't be easily killed."

As mentioned before, Toei Sendagaya Apartment has a T-shaped layout.

At the location where the row of horizontal bars combines with the vertical row, where Zhan Lan and the others are currently located, there is an elevator and a corridor.

At the end of the vertical row, on the far left, there is also an elevator and a corridor.

Ghosts can only appear from one location on a certain floor.

As long as you are not unlucky enough to bump into a ghost, you will have a chance to escape. It depends on whether you are fast enough.

When a ghost appears, it is more dangerous to be in the middle of the floor, because there is still a certain distance no matter which way you run.

Being in the two-end position is relatively safer because you can escape up or down at any time.

But if everyone hides at both ends of the floor for safety, no one will search the "position" room.

There are a total of 105 rooms in the apartment, and 20 minutes is quite tight, so someone still has to take the risk, otherwise we will have to finish the game together in the end.

This is also the reason why Zhan Lan arranges the personnel in different directions and arranges a master on every other floor, just to facilitate the response at critical moments.

If it's too late to avoid the ghost, they can just jump down from the corridor like Usagi Yuzu did in the original plot, or hold the drainage pipe and slide down.

There are experts below to support you, so you have to be more prudent.

After Zhan Lan made arrangements, everyone in the Zhongzhou team followed their respective assignments, either taking the stairs or taking the elevator to their target floor.

Seeing this, the other players also dispersed. Zhan Lan and the others had arranged things clearly, and it seemed that clearing the game was no longer a problem.

Then what they need to do is to avoid the ghosts with all their strength and ensure that they are not caught by the ghosts.
