Had he declared war on No. 1?
Everyone's expression turned solemn.
This was not a small matter. It might even be the most important thing at the moment.
Based on the current situation, declaring war on No. 1 was still a very risky thing to do.
Fortunately, the four S-Class were not incompetent people. Even if they were wary, they did not have an insurmountable fear of the devil like the other trainees.
On the other hand, Zong Jiu walked straight to a seat on the side and sat down. He lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
According to his plan, delaying the declaration of war was to buy time.
But since they had declared war, the next time they met, it would be a fight to the death.
During the Mental Hospital dungeon, No. 1 did not even look at him. It was not until Zong Jiu plotted against him that the devil noticed this unique newcomer.
Then, it was the Las Vegas casino. After successfully plotting against the devil, Zong Jiu also experienced real killing intent.
But after the Barren Village dungeon, the devil's attitude towards him had changed 360 degrees.
In the No.1 Middle School dungeon, Zong Jiu got the answer that the change in attitude was due to the same kind of attraction.
But during the Halloween event, he casually rejected No. 1's invitation and made his position clear.
Next, their relationship should have returned to the way it was before the Barren Village dungeon. They should have been killing each other and fighting to the death.
But for some reason, Zong Jiu sensed that something was wrong.
It was as if something was brewing and changing between them. It was like some kind of extremely difficult chemical experiment that suddenly collided and produced intense light and heat. Stars formed, black holes collapsed, and planets were forced to change their orbits and positions.
What was even more frightening was that the attraction was mutual. Just like between celestial bodies, a constant mass would always attract another constant mass. Just like them, fated enemies were at each other's throats, and they would kill each other before the end of the world.
Zong Jiu didn't know what it was either. Only his boiling blood and the urge to strangle the other party to death was stirred.
Other than the devil, no one could tear apart his cold skin so easily.
While Zong Jiu was deep in thought, the exorcist and Tokumon looked at each other as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
He suddenly got up and walked to the side of the quiet room where the smoking machine was made of pure gold. He slowly took out an iron box from his pocket and cut open a cigar with a cigar cutter. After muttering an obscure exorcism spell, he lit the cigar with his fingertips and took a deep puff.
The cigar's taste was bitter, first bitter then sweet. Exorcists were infatuated with this kind of smell. He always carried a cigar box with him, but usually, he would only smoke one before exorcism to keep his mind clear and sharp. Unlike smoking, cigars were purely enjoyable.
The small smoker sucked away the smoke from the cigar without disturbing the other people in the room.
After smoking for a while, the exorcist's words, he slowly, and looked at the white-haired young man from afar.
"If it were you, what would you wish for?"
Here it comes.
Zong Jiu glanced at Zhuge An, who was looking down and closing his eyes in deep thought, and understood.
Guiguzi's prophecy was just a prophecy. Zong Jiu had tarot cards, so he could confirm the prophecy's existence.
For the other S-class, the prophecy was more like a fairy tale, the kind that would be over after listening to it.
Although the current situation was unclear, the devil was eyeing them covetously, and they were forced to become grasshoppers tied to a string. However, this did not mean that the S-class would stand on his and Zhuge An's side.
Zong Jiu had to come up with convincing evidence.
So, the topic returned to the most cliché.
If he got the Universal Wishing Voucher, what would he wish for?
It was too boring and too simple.
Zong Jiu thought. He did not even need to think about this question. He already had the best answer.
"Wish for everyone to escape from the infinite loop."
Interestingly, this answer was not the real answer in Zong Jiu's heart. It was just that he had unintentionally said it to stir up everyone's mood, but it led to a series of subsequent reactions.
For example, Zhuge An's change in attitude, and how easily he gained the trust of the newbies in the deserted village. Everything was built on the basis of him saying those words.
Everyone seemed to be sure that he would do as he said. After all, the others would think about themselves first when making a wish. Only Zong Jiu thought about others when making a wish.
However, Zong Jiu was not sure what kind of wish he would regret making when he got the Universal Wishing Voucher. Because he did not really want anything in particular, and did not have any wishes that he had to make.
But now he understood that as long as he could make the devil suffer, that would be his wish.
If the devil could not get the Universal Wishing Voucher, he would be happy. So, it did not matter what he wished for. What was important was to get the Universal Wishing Voucher.
After he said this, the quiet room was silent for a long time. Then, the exorcist sighed heavily.
"Fine, I'll do it with you."
.....
After pulling him onto the pirate ship, the rest of the matter was easy to handle.
Strategizing had always been Zhuge An's specialty.
In the end, the others did not need to cooperate. They just needed to ensure that they were not controlled. Then, when the final battle came, they would choose to stand on their side.
"The difficulty of the next group dungeon should be S-Rank."
He threw down deepwater bombs without changing his expression. "The dungeon after the group dungeon should be S-Rank."
S-Rank dungeon!
The other S-class members all had solemn expressions on their faces.
Even they had never entered a Super S Instance Dungeon before. However, everyone knew in their hearts that a Super S Instance Dungeon was not only more difficult than a Super S Instance Dungeon, but it was also impossible to use any special items.
It was equivalent to throwing an S-Rank dungeon, which was not much more difficult than an F-Rank dungeon.
Zhuge An did not care about the expressions on their faces. Instead, he continued, "After the S-Rank dungeon, the number of people should reach the range that the main system wants."
Indeed, everyone was well aware of how difficult it was to survive a Super S Rank dungeon.
Now, there were a total of four thousand trainees. An S-Rank dungeon could definitely be cleared by half. Then, there was the S-Rank dungeon … Even an S-Rank player was not confident about the S-Rank dungeon, let alone other S-Rank players.
The worst possibility was that after returning from the S-Rank dungeon, the trainees standing in the trainee hall would be exactly the one hundred people that the main system wanted, or just a little more than that.
"Since the last one hundred people have been confirmed, the next step is the final battle within the S-Rank."
That's right. The number of people who could survive had been confirmed. The next step was the final battle.
It went without saying what would be decided. Naturally, it would be fighting for the throne of No.1. It would decide who would debut in the center position and who would get the Universal Wishing Ticket.
Zhuge An's meaning was very clear. As long as the S-Rank could survive the next dungeon, and in the final battle, the person in the center position would not fall into the hands of the devil and his puppet.
No one knew the details of the deal between No.1 and the main system. However, since the target was confirmed to be the Universal Wishing Ticket, no one would be stupid enough to give it up.
"In addition, Magician, you need to reach S-Rank as soon as possible."
Zong Jiu nodded indifferently.
He had never cared much about this level before. Otherwise, he would not have killed NPCs and even wanted to try the punishment dungeon. However, if he did not reach S-Rank as soon as possible, he would not be able to get the ticket to the final battle. It was better to be cautious in the next dungeon.
"Next is the group grouping for the next dungeon … Cough, cough, cough."
At this point, the black-haired man suddenly curled his fist and coughed at his lips.
The Exorcist looked at him in surprise. "Are you allergic to smoke?"
As he said that, he immediately extinguished the cigar in his hand and turned the function of the smoker to the maximum.
Although the smoker could absorb most of the smoke, after all, they were indoors. There would always be more or less the bitter smell of the cigar.
"A little, I have to go to the bathroom."
Zhuge An frowned, clenched his fist and stood up from the sofa. He straightened his back and walked out of the room.
The conversation was abruptly interrupted. The Exorcist loudly apologized.
The black-haired man did not turn his head. He waved his hand indifferently and closed the door.
The quiet room fell into silence again.
Tokumon walked to the window, turned on the air purifier, and swept away the remaining smoke in the room.
The Exorcist awkwardly wrapped the unfinished cigar in frosted foil and threw it into the trash can.
Fan Zhuo stood upright in front of the painting on the wall of the quiet room. After a long time, he slowly turned around. "You're bleeding."
Zong Jiu, who was stared at by him, was stunned. He subconsciously looked at his neck, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth stopped.
The man in front of him was not only the original owner's big brother, but also the leader of the Night people. He was a genuine fourth generation vampire. Even if his power was suppressed to not exceed the peak value of a human due to the limitations of the main system, it was still not something an ordinary person could compare to.
It was just bleeding. Wasn't that what vampires were used to doing?
Zong Jiu played it down. "It's nothing. I was bitten by a dog. It's not a big deal."
Dog? The smallest dog in the Halloween event seemed to be a hellhound. One bite and it would be cut in half at the waist.
Although the others were puzzled as to why the main system didn't directly heal a bite, it was a private matter. They weren't close enough to ask casually, so they didn't pursue the matter.
The two Master Duanshui, who was the leader of a large organization, were all old foxes. Naturally, they didn't leak anything when it came to dealing with people.
No. 2 looked away from the white-haired youth's Weibo. His voice was cold as he threw down a message. "He's also bleeding."
Him?
The remaining three people looked at each other in confusion.
Fan Zhuo concisely said, "No. 3."
Zong Jiu realized something and stood up from his seat. "Excuse me." He quickly walked out of the quiet room and chased after Zhuge An.
On the other hand, the Exorcist was puzzled. "What's going on? These days, as long as you give 500 survival points, you can even recover from amputation with cancer. I didn't expect there to be a second one who couldn't recover from an injury. "
He wasn't wrong. As long as one didn't die in the dungeon world, the main system could cure any illness. Even if one's heart was about to stop after being sucked by a vampire, they could still dance with a rosy face in the next second.
So, what was going on with these two people?
