Thriller Trainee

168. Masquerade

Without any expectation, the huge crystal chandelier suddenly went out.

The darkness in all directions was so thick that it blocked all sight.

Not to mention Zong Jiu who noticed something unusual, all the vampires present also noticed something was wrong.

In the dark night, the vampire is the eternal king. Night vision ability: They dare to say that they are number one, but no one dares to say that they are number two. However, even the half-vampire couldn't see clearly what the thick darkness all over the banquet hall was, and not even a human figure could be seen. It was like substantial darkness flowing in front of everyone's eyes, blocking all meaning. Figure's prying eyes.

[What's going on? Why did the lights turn on all of a sudden? I entered the wrong live broadcast room? 】

[Sister upstairs, you entered correctly. It was today that the main system was taken to the underworld, and an underworld operation was performed inexplicably. As a result, we, the viewers of the live broadcast, could not see the people in the banquet hall, so we could only You can hear the sound]

[The main system is also terrible this time. I don’t know what the hell. We obviously can’t contact the trainees in the live broadcast room at all. Why are we not allowed to watch the live broadcast? I must have some cerebral palsy. 】

[That’s right, it’s no fun just listening to sounds. There are thousands of trainees, how can we hear anything?]

Unlike the survivors who were cursing in the live broadcast room, in the darkness of the studio hall, all sounds were reduced or amplified, making them extremely clear.

For Zong Jiu, it was a matter of urgency, pressing each other 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 still without knowing whether the main body is present.

This is really taking advantage of the large number of people to do whatever you want.

The white-haired young man's brows and eyes hidden behind the mask were slightly dark, but on his face was a sneer that showed interest in meeting an opponent and facing a challenge.

This outfit brought many unexpected benefits to Zongjiu. Of course, there were also unexpected surprises that were beyond his control.

Originally, he wanted to use this to attract the devil, but unexpectedly, No. 1 didn't even dress up. What’s more funny is that countless fans who claim to be fanatical followers of the devil have mistaken the identity of the real and fake No. 1 one by one, exposing the fact that they are fake fans.

Zongjiu could hear it, but he didn't believe that the devil couldn't hear it.

As long as No.1 can hear it, Zongjiu's goal will be achieved. Making the other party unhappy is the biggest purpose of being an old enemy.

But what he didn't expect was that the main system stopped working and turned off the lights.

It was dark, everyone was dancing wildly on the dance floor, and no one knew who was who.

At this moment, the main system started the next round of broadcast again.

[The clues have been distributed. If the mentor can be found in the darkness, the third stage will be started immediately]

[During the dance, you can freely exchange dance partners after each dance, and the main system will randomly give clues during the dance. If you successfully guess the identity of your dance partner, you can get 1,000 survival points. If your identity is discovered, 900 survival points will be deducted. If the trainee's identity has not been exposed by the end of the dance, you can get an additional 5,000 survival points as a reward. award】

The other trainees were eager to try.

It's actually a bit difficult to find a mentor in the dark, but it couldn't be easier to find an acquaintance. Besides, almost 90% of the remaining trainees are senior survivors, old people in the infinite cycle. They are very familiar with each other. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they have heard about it at least. , basically all of them are prominent characters in the infinite loop.

It means that newcomers will suffer more at this masquerade party, 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 form of No. 1 from the circle of demons and demon puppets around him, and then...well...invite him to dance... .

But in short, the invitation to dance is definitely not the point. The real point is that after the dance, he has to expose the identity of No. 1 mentor in front of everyone!

Now that the devil has handed him the steps, 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 laugh twice.

"You dare to dress up like me, I have to say... you are very bold."

Different from the processed voices of other trainees, this voice is deep, fragrant, and vaguely reveals a danger that cannot be ignored.

Sometimes far and sometimes near.

Is it the left or the right?

Zong Jiu turned around suddenly.

In the darkness, he didn't care whether he was exposed or not. He held the holy sword of physics in his hand and swiped it backwards.

Failed.

Not only was it in vain, the chuckle also moved behind him, unpredictable.

The person hiding in the darkness is like a cat chasing a mouse, and like an experienced hunter facing the prey that he has been keeping an eye on, he presses step by step, and occasionally stretches out his claws and teases twice, toying with the person. The palm of your hand is full of evil taste.

"The performance was good, but there are still some areas where it's not good enough."

The demon stared closely at the body that was very similar to him in the darkness, and his voice contained deep pleasure, "Do you want to know where the difference is?"

After saying that, he had no intention of seeking 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 against the magician's slender wrist, and paused for a few seconds on the beating pulse, then pulled away.

Zongjiu's pupils shrank, and he was also thinking about the rules of the main system. He stepped on the waltz step of his feet and suddenly turned to another place, just in time to avoid this hand.

"The shoulder circumference is wrong."

At the same time, the other hand slid down the white-haired young man's slender neck to his shoulder, and held it slightly as if intimately.

Zongjiu grabbed the hand and wanted to throw it over his shoulder. However, within a second of contact, the hand quietly disappeared into the shadow.

Not wearing gloves, not No. 1 hands.

The magician paused, noted the position in his mind, and moved to the next circle.

"The waist is too thin."

Another pair of hands appeared, effortlessly encircling the waist that was hidden under the black suit and vest shirt, and swirling in the depression, with full hints.

Zongjiu couldn't move, and neither could he. He could only follow the hand and the body behind him, follow the beat of the music, and then push it to the next person.

In other words, he even closed his eyes without any intention of moving at all.

Because this is not the entity he is looking for.

High above, the deep cello joins the ensemble, intertwining with the sound of the big harp, rising and falling.

On the dark dance floor below, everyone was spinning and dancing.

"The chin is a bit pointy."

The next person took over, and the rough fabric surface followed the beautifully shaped jaw line, pinching the sharpest point.

Zong Jiu didn't do anything this time, he just opened his mouth and bit the hand in the direction of the tiger's mouth.

"What a murderer." The slightly teasing and surprised voice said, "Finger, um, finger."

Cold fingers suddenly squeezed in from the outside of Zong Jiu's gloves. The rough scars and the slightly calloused fingers of the magician fit together, tightly wrapped by the black half-finger gloves, inseparable.

The other hand also swam from the edge of the magician's thin lips before he could close them, roughening the corners of his lips, and caressed the sharp tiger teeth lovingly.

The white-haired young man suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of light quickly flashed in his light pink eyes.

However, due to his posture, Zongjiu did not rush to scare the snake. Instead, he used his strength to shake his hand away and turned towards the next darkness.

"Of course...the most important thing is-"

Countless hands emerged from the darkness, clasping his waist and resting on his neck.

The devil or the devil's puppet smiled and put his head on the magician's shoulder, taking a deep sniff.

"Unique smell."

The breath mixed with the cold woody scent of cedar poured into the chest, making people feel intoxicated.

The music begins to become particularly soothing, hinting that it is coming to an end.

When the song "Blue Danube Comes Down", others would exchange dance partners once per song, but Zongjiu was better and exchanged them seven times.

"If you want to wear this dress next time, remember to pay attention to these details. Maybe you can give me more surprises."

Zongjiu said coldly, "Oh? Really?"

It's too late, but it's soon. In just a flash of lightning, the magician pushed back his elbow, twisted his whole body at an incredible angle, escaped from the shackles of the person behind him, and hit the diagonal outside without looking back. Deep darkness.

"no more chance."

The man in the darkness was stunned, but instead of running away, the smile on his face widened and he opened his arms.

He ran straight into the arms of a madman.

[A trainee has already locked in as a mentor and will start the third phase immediately]

Other trainees:? ? ?

Audience in the live broadcast room:? ? ?

Except for the two people in the center, everyone was stunned.

[What’s going on? It’s only been less than ten minutes since we just danced a waltz. How come a trainee has successfully locked the identity of the instructor?]

[Hey, this announcement really scared me when it was pushed out. In ten minutes, what kind of awesome guy is this? Is it so difficult to find a mentor? But if I have to say it, I’m actually a bit suspicious of the Penguin who stood on the dance floor and didn’t understand anything... Among so many trainees, he was the only one who didn’t respond. Don’t you think it’s strange? ? 】

[After confirming the mentor’s identity, it’s time to dance, and then tell the mentor’s identity, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh s main system, please turn on the lights, I want to see who discovered the mentor’s identity, and who is the identity the mentor pretended to be? who? ! 】

[Those upstairs, don’t worry. Locking your identity is only the first step. There will be no reward for telling the wrong true identity. But if you want the main system to turn on the lights, I will definitely support it]

In the dark studio hall, all sounds were forcibly muted.

Dead silence, eerie silence.

Finally, in the silence, the first violinist standing at half-court drew his bow.

Cold, tactful, and with some tunes that would be repulsive to people thousands of miles away, flowed out from the right angle cut by the piano 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, but I secretly prefer the translation of Just One Step.

Maybe from a sensory perspective, one step is further away, but only one step away is very close_(:3∠)_
