This time, the teleportation seemed a little unusual.
Zong Jiu felt like he was falling.
It was similar to the feeling after stepping through the portal in the last dungeon, but it was also a little different.
Because it was too dark, it felt like there was a strange evil hidden in the darkness.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Zong Jiu's feet touched solid ground.
According to the situation, they should have entered the prequel plot, and there should have been a frozen scene around them.
But there was nothing.
Even the people in the darkness had disappeared one by one. It seemed like he was the only one in the darkness.
Fortunately, this wasn't the first time Zong Jiu had encountered this situation. The prequel plot of the last Judgement Day dungeon was similar to this one. Maybe the dungeons above S-Rank were more unique?
Zong Jiu thought as he calmed down. He stared blankly at the two ten-sided dice floating in front of him.
After about two minutes, another person's voice came from the darkness.
"Is anyone there? Where is this? Why is there no prequel plot and it's still so dark? There's no response from the main system … That's strange. "
This voice could not be any more familiar. It was none other than the unlucky Yin-Yang Master Tu Yimen, who had been comforting Zong Jiu with the words, "Brother, why do you have to do this?" His tone was filled with schadenfreude.
Zong Jiu replied lazily. Tokumon was suddenly excited.
"Magician, you're here too. What's going on? Why are there only the two of us here?"
Since they couldn't see each other's faces and couldn't connect to the main system for a while, they began to talk in the darkness.
Zong Jiu said slowly, "Maybe it's because we both threw a Big Failure."
Tokumon: "…"
Tokumon: "That, that makes sense."
A Big Failure was a level higher than a Big Failure. The main system had specifically warned them that if they threw a Big Failure, it wouldn't be surprising if anything happened.
For example, in a round of battle, if one failed to dodge the dice, one could become a human target and accurately receive every attack or bullet from the opponent.
An unlucky purebred and an unlucky purebred who was caught cheating fell silent.
The situation was a little awkward for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, the main system's voice slowly sounded.
It wasn't as clear as before, but intermittent. He could even clearly hear the sizzling sound of electricity caused by poor contact.
[Zzz zzz zzz … Connecting to the main system.]
[Signal connection is weak. Activating database archive mode. Data transfer is changed to cache mode … Please wait.]
In the darkness, both of them smelled something different.
Sure enough, the following system announcement accurately verified their thoughts.
[Due to various unknown reasons, you have encountered the first error during the teleportation process.]
[Attention, you have landed in another Super S Level dungeon 500 million light years away from your destination. Current number of people in the dungeon: 2]
[As the difficulty of this dungeon has increased and it is no longer under the control of the main system, the system can only provide assistance for the first three days.]
[The trainees' main mission has been changed to find a way to connect to the main system within three days. If you fail, you will be trapped here forever. Trainees, please be careful.]
After a series of important messages came crashing down, Zong Jiu and Tokumon were both speechless.
Tokumon muttered to himself, "I finally understand why No. 3 said you would encounter a disaster in this dungeon. No wonder Zhuge looked at me so meaningfully when I said we could take care of each other. "
Good lord, so this was what they were waiting for.
Zong Jiu was silent for a moment, then quickly understood the current situation. "You mean, the Onmyoji and I have fallen into another Super S Level dungeon. In this dungeon, the main system's authority is difficult to use. Our current main mission is not important. What's important is to find a way to successfully connect to the main system?"
The main system replied after activating database mode. [Yes.]
[Activating backup system … Activation successful.]
After the activation was successful, the mechanical voice suddenly became much clearer.
[I am a sub-system stored in the ten-sided die. Due to the spatial barrier of this dungeon world being too strong, I am temporarily unable to connect to the main system of the trainees' dormitory.]
[This dungeon is not the Super S Level dungeon with the original spatial coordinates, but another unknown Super S Level dungeon that is not recorded in the main system's records.]
[The good news is that this Super S Level dungeon world also supports the operation of the ten-sided die, but the sub-system's energy can only last for three days. The bad news is that if you can't find a way to successfully connect to the main system within three days, you will be trapped here forever.]
With this, the purpose was clear.
Tokumon asked with a sad face, "Then, can, can we still go back alive?"
Perhaps it was because of the disconnection from the central system, but the sub-system's answer was very sincere. It sounded much more honest than the main system.
[After calculation, there is a 10% chance that you can return alive.]
[The reason why the trainees will have a spatial transfer error is because a creature in this dungeon has forcefully summoned you. You only need to find the source of the forceful summoning and perform the summoning ritual again.]
Summoning?
Only a 10% survival rate. What would happen to the Digimon here?
Just as Tokumon was about to continue asking, the sub-system spoke again.
[Attention, the link is about to be disconnected. Entering dungeon … Please wait.]
[Due to the special nature of this dungeon, there is no pre-plot. Trainees, please take note.]
In the next second, the world turned upside down.
.....
Today was the annual big day.
A carriage inlaid with gold patterns stopped at the door. The coachman held a leather whip and shouted.
The goatskin boots tapped on the steps unhurriedly. The rapid and gentle footsteps and the rubbing of clothes fermented in the venue filled with expensive incense. The sound of the fireplace crackled. Chuckles and whispers spread around.
They wore gentlemen's tuxedos and bow ties, and held exquisite ceremonial staffs in their hands. The ladies wore little hats decorated with lace, and colorful skirts fluttered in the wind to cover their tails. The enchanting fragrance of their bodies filled the air, and butterflies fluttered in the air.
"It's said that a new batch of goods with good fur arrived today."
The people who came to the venue whispered, covering their mouths and noses with gorgeous feather fans. "The gathering today is still the best. Two days ago, I went to the slums for a visit. That fox stench really can't cover up the smell of the untouchables."
"Really? How good is it? "
"It's true, it's true. Originally, this batch of goods should be directly supplied to the circus to prepare for the circus festival in three days. But it's said that there were several top-grade goods. That's why they were hurriedly intercepted midway. They were first selected by the important figures before being sent to the circus. "
The voice was a little surprised. "The top-grade goods are not used for the festival. Does the circus not have any objections?"
As it spoke, it used the feather fan to point around.
There were strange people in black robes and pointy sorcerer hats standing in the corners of the auction hall.
They were all silent. The insides of their sorcerer hats and hoods were dark and gloomy, as if they were walking ghosts.
"How would they dare to have any objections?" Another person waved his fan and clicked his tongue. "It's said that several important figures are coming tonight. Even the crown prince received the news. No matter how powerful the church is, they still have to rely on the influence of the important figures. Without them, it's another matter whether the circus festival can proceed smoothly. "
"That's right."
Someone immediately echoed. "It's said that this batch of goods, whether it's the color or the fur, the appearance and appearance are the rarest. Whether it's bought to make a new fur or to keep it, it's a symbol of status."
"Madam is right. Who would be willing to use it to make fur if it can appear in this auction venue? Only Madam Countess has the confidence to do so. "
The madam who was complimented smiled and hid the pride in her eyes.
This compliment was really beautiful. The things that appeared in the auction venue were all top-grade goods. Not to mention anything else, being able to buy it could prove one's identity. Who cared about what others would do with it after buying it?
Everyone pretended to laugh a few times, looking happy and harmonious, but no one knew what they were thinking.
Soon, after all the guests who came to participate in the auction had arrived, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed.
The host lifted the curtain and appeared under the only light in the center.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's exciting circus auction!"
With the microphone in his hand, he said in an impassioned tone, "There are only three days left until the annual festival. I'm sure everyone has heard that we have prepared nearly a hundred kinds of excellent offerings for this festival. Among them … there are two precious offerings that are not for sale. They will definitely bring back the glory of the festival twenty years ago!"
Non-for-sale items?
Just a moment ago, they were still discussing animatedly and enthusiastically. But now, their voices suddenly turned cold.
In order to save the situation, the host quickly remedied, "Of course, although they are not for sale, before the festival, everyone can buy the right to use them for three days."
Someone in the audience sneered. "Spending a lot of money and effort to buy the right to use them?"
"Everyone, please calm down. Why don't you take a look before you judge?"
The host took two steps back. The long staff in his hand gently rested on the cage that suddenly appeared behind him.
The cage was very big. It was covered with a red cloth, blocking the view of all the audience.
"Non-for-sale items … This is something that has never appeared in the circus in the past hundred years —"
With a light flick of the staff, the thick red cloth fell to the ground.
The white-haired youth was bound in the iron cage. He was only wearing a snow-white prison uniform.
His eyes were tightly covered by the black cloth. His slender wrists and ankles were locked by thick iron chains. He was tightly locked in the middle of the iron cage.
"Wow —"
Everyone in the audience was excited.
"It's a cat!"
"It's an extremely rare cat with such beautiful fur and hair!"
"That's right. Not only is it a 'cat', but he also has a pair of even more precious and beautiful eyes."
The host looked at the excited expressions of the audience with satisfaction. He twirled the staff and gently removed the black cloth from behind the ears of the person in the cage.
Zong Jiu's vision finally turned from darkness to light.
Facing the strong light from the auction stage, his pupils reflected a bit of watery light.
Under the light, he clearly saw the appearance of the "audience."
They were animals with heavy makeup and wearing human clothes.
