$168, Masquerade
Without a trace of expectation, the huge crystal chandelier went out with a bang.
The darkness in all directions was extremely sticky, blocking all vision.
Not to mention that Zong Jiu noticed something unusual, all the vampires present also found something wrong.
In the dark night, vampires are the eternal kings. If they dare to say they are the first in night vision, no one dares to say they are the second. However, even half-vampires could not see what the thick darkness in the banquet hall was, and even a human figure could not be seen. It was like a substantial darkness flowing in front of everyone's eyes, blocking all the sights that intended to spy.
【What's going on? Why did the lights turn on all of a sudden? Did I enter the wrong live broadcast room? 】
【Sister upstairs, you are not in the wrong place. Today, the main system was taken to the underworld. For some reason, a underworld operation was carried out, so that we, the audience watching the live broadcast, could not see the people in the banquet hall, but could only hear the sound】
【The main system is also amazing. I don’t know what the hell is going on. We can’t contact the trainees in the live broadcast room at all. Why can’t we watch the live broadcast? It’s a bit brain-dead】
【That’s right, it’s really meaningless to only hear the sound. There are thousands of trainees, how can we hear anything】
Unlike the survivors who cursed in the live broadcast room, in the darkness of the studio, all sounds were reduced or amplified, and they were extremely clear.
For Zong Jiu, it was urgent and pressing step by step.
After the battle just now, he at least figured out one thing.
That is, there are at least seven No.1 puppets surrounding him, and this is when we don’t know if there is a real body present.
This is really relying on the number of people to do whatever they want.
The white-haired young man's eyebrows were slightly depressed behind the mask, but his face was full of a sneer of interest when facing a challenge.
This outfit brought many unexpected benefits to Zong Jiu, of course, there were also unexpected things beyond his control.
Originally, he wanted to use this to attract the devil, but he didn't expect that No.1 didn't even disguise himself. What's more funny is that countless fans who claim to be fanatical followers of the devil have mistaken the identity of the real No.1 one by one, exposing the fact that they are fake fans.
Zong Jiu can hear it, he doesn't believe that the devil can't hear it.
As long as No.1 can hear it, Zong Jiu's goal is achieved. Making the other party unhappy is the biggest goal of being an old enemy.
But what he didn't expect was that the main system would just go all out and turn off the lights.
It was dark, and everyone was dancing around on the dance floor. Who knew who was who?
Just at this moment, the main system started the next round of broadcasts again.
[Clues have been distributed. If you can find the mentor in the dark, the third stage will start immediately]
[During the dance, you can freely change partners after each dance. The main system will randomly give clues during the dance. If you successfully guess the identity of the partner, you can get 1,000 survival points. If your identity is discovered, 900 survival points will be deducted. If the trainee's identity is not revealed by the end of the dance, he can get an additional 5,000 survival points as a reward]
The rest of the trainees were eager to try.
It is actually a bit difficult to find the mentor in the dark, but it is easy to find an acquaintance. Besides, almost 90% of the remaining trainees are senior survivors, veterans of the Infinite Loop. They are very familiar with each other. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they have at least heard of each other. They are basically well-known figures in the Infinite Loop.
Only the newcomers will suffer in this masked masquerade, so the main system also adds a rule that if no one guesses the identity from beginning to end, they can get rewards, which can be regarded as protecting and supporting newcomers.
What Zong Jiu needs to do now is to find the true identity of No. 1 from the circle of demons and demon puppets around him, and then... well... invite him to dance...
But anyway, inviting to dance is definitely not the point. The real point is that after dancing, he has to expose the identity of No. 1's mentor in front of everyone!
Since the demon has handed him the step, Zong Jiu naturally has the courage to accept the challenge.
So he was calm and calm, not afraid at all, and even had the mood to sneer twice.
"You dare to pretend to be me, I have to say... you are very brave."
Unlike the processed voices of other trainees, this voice is low and rich, and faintly reveals a danger that cannot be ignored.
It is also far away and near.
Is it on the left or the right?
Zong Jiu turned around suddenly.
In the darkness, he didn't care whether to reveal his identity or not, and swept the holy sword of physics in his hand backwards.
Failed.
Not only did he fail, the chuckle also moved to his back, unpredictable.
The person hiding in the darkness was like a cat playing with a mouse, and like an experienced hunter facing his prey that he had been eyeing for a long time, he pressed forward step by step, occasionally stretching out his claws to tease him, playing with people in his palm, full of evil taste.
"You acted well, but there are still some places that are not good enough."
The devil stared closely at the body in the dark that was very similar to him, and his voice contained a strong sense of pleasure, "Do you want to know where the difference is?"
After saying that, he did not mean to seek Zong Jiu's opinion, but started on his own.
"First of all, your skin is too white."
In the darkness, the devil's hand slid along the magician's slender wrist, pausing for a few seconds on the beating pulse, and then pulling away.
Zong Jiu's pupils shrank, and at the same time, he was thinking about the rules of the main system. He stepped on the waltz steps and suddenly turned to another place, just avoiding the hand.
"The shoulder circumference is wrong."
At the same time, another hand slid along the slender neck of the white-haired young man to his shoulder, and gently closed it like an intimate gesture.
Zong Jiu grabbed the hand and wanted to throw it over his shoulder, but after only a second of contact, the hand quietly sank into the shadow.
No gloves, not the No. 1 hand.
The magician paused, memorized this position in his mind, and turned to the next circle.
"The waist is too thin."
Another pair of hands appeared, effortlessly encircled the waist hidden under the black suit and vest shirt, and turned around in the concave place, with full of suggestive meaning.
Zong Jiu couldn't move, and he couldn't move. He could only follow this hand and the body behind him, turn around to the beat of the music, and then push it to the next person.
In other words, he even closed his eyes and had no intention of moving at all.
Because this was not the body he was looking for.
In the high place, the low cello joined the ensemble, interweaving with the sound of the harp, rising and falling.
In the dark dance floor below, everyone was spinning and dancing.
"The chin is a bit pointy."
The next person took over, and the rough surface of the fabric lingered along the beautifully shaped jawline, pinching the sharpest point.
This time, Zong Jiu did nothing, and directly opened his mouth and bit towards the direction of the tiger's mouth of the hand.
"The real murderer." The voice with a little teasing and surprise said: "Fingers, um, fingers."
The cold fingers squeezed in from the outside of Zong Jiu's gloves, and the rough scars and the magician's slightly calloused fingers were tightly wrapped in the black half-finger gloves, inseparable.
The other hand also swam from the edge of the magician's thin lips that had not yet closed, scraping the corners of his lips rough, and caressed the sharp tiger teeth lovingly.
The white-haired young man suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed quickly in his light pink eyes.
However, due to his posture, Zong Jiu did not rashly alert the enemy. Instead, he used his strength to shake off the hand and turned to the next darkness.
"Of course... the most important thing is——"
Countless hands appeared from the darkness, clasped his waist and rested on his neck.
The devil or the devil's puppet smiled and put his head on the magician's shoulder and took a deep breath.
"Unique smell."
The breath mixed with the cold wood and cedar smell filled his chest, making people intoxicated.
The music began to become particularly soothing, suggesting that it was about to end.
After a song of Blue Danube, others changed their dance partners once a song, but Zong Jiu changed seven times.
"Next time if you want to wear this dress again, remember to pay attention to these details, maybe you can give me more surprises."
Zong Jiu said coldly, "Oh? Really?"
It happened in a split second. In just a flash, the magician pushed his elbow back, and his whole body twisted at an incredible angle, breaking free from the shackles of the man behind him, and crashing into the deep darkness outside the diagonal without looking back.
"There will be no next time."
The man in the darkness was stunned, not only did he not dodge, but the smile on his face became wider and wider, and he opened his arms.
He ran straight into the arms of a madman.
[Some trainees have locked in the identity of mentors, and the third stage will start immediately]
Other trainees: ? ? ?
The audience in the live broadcast room: ? ? ?
Except for the two people in the center, everyone was stunned.
[What's going on? We just finished dancing a waltz, and less than ten minutes have passed. How come a trainee has successfully locked the identity of the mentor?]
[Fuck, I was really scared when this announcement was pushed out. Ten minutes, what kind of amazing person is this? Is it so easy to find a mentor? But if I have to say it, I actually have some doubts about the penguin man who stood on the dance floor and knew nothing before... He was the only one who didn't react among so many trainees. Don't you think it's strange?]
[After confirming the identity of the mentor, you just need to dance and then tell the identity of the mentor, right? Ah ah ah ah main system, please turn on the lights quickly, I want to see who discovered the identity of the mentor and who the identity of the mentor is? !]
[Don't worry about it, locking the identity is only the first step. There is no reward if you say the wrong real identity. But I absolutely support the main system turning on the lights]
In the dark studio, all sounds were forced to press the still button.
Dead silence, strange dead silence.
Finally, in silence, the first violinist standing in the middle of the field drew his bow.
A cold, gentle, and somewhat distant melody flowed out from the right angles cut by the brush and the bowstring.
As soon as he heard this prelude, Zongjiu reacted immediately.
《porunacabeza》
The famous tango dance from Scent of a Woman.
It can be translated as "one step away" or "only one step away".
The author has something to say: You can go and listen to this song por?una?cabeza. I added it to the playlist. The second song is, it’s super nice!
The official translation of this one is One Step Off, but I secretly prefer the Just One Step translation.
Maybe from a sensory perspective, one step is further away, but only one step away is very close_(:3∠)_
