Zong Jiu's suggestion to form a team was not a spur of the moment decision.
Up until now, the Thriller Trainee Competition had already gone through three rounds, eliminating the two ranks of Fe and F trainees. The remaining trainees had been eliminated once again, and there were only about five thousand trainees left.
After the next team dungeon, there was no doubt that the D-rank trainees would be eliminated, and only the sab-rank trainees and C-rank trainees would be left. These four ranks added up to about two thousand trainees, and after multiple rounds of elimination, their strength would at least be at the lowest level.
According to Zhuge An, the first three dungeons were A-rank, so the next team dungeon would most likely be an S-rank dungeon. Based on this speculation, the next team dungeon would definitely not be lower than S-rank.
In response, Zhuge An provided convincing evidence. "I suspect that the next team dungeon will be infinitely close to the S-rank difficulty because the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Disk will not be able to deduce any information."
It was not until No.3 said this that Zong Jiu realized that items could not be used in the Beyond S-rank dungeon.
Not being able to use items was the same as being an ordinary person, with nothing to do but use their brains. It was obvious how scary that would be.
"The Beyond S-rank dungeon has only appeared once in the history of the Infinite Loop. None of the people who entered the dungeon survived, but an extremely terrifying existence was released from the Beyond S-rank dungeon."
The black-haired man said meaningfully, "Only the Beyond S-rank dungeon, or an even more advanced high-dimensional world, would be able to obtain the immunity from items."
The white-haired young man looked down and did not answer.
After the fact that he was immune to the demon's control was discovered, he had already been robbed by two people.
Fortunately, Zhuge An did not seem to care about this.
After all, his mission was the same as before. He only needed to find the person in the prophecy and assist him in accomplishing Guiguzi's lifelong wish.
Because of this, the final conclusion was very worthy of consideration.
Without a doubt, if they were to enter the Beyond S-rank dungeon, forget about two thousand people, even if there were five thousand people, it would be a miracle if five hundred could survive. In other words, after this Beyond S-rank dungeon, they only needed to enter the final battle to determine the last hundred survivors from the Thriller Trainee Competition.
In other words, they did not have much time.
If they wanted to seize the initiative, they had to prepare for the worst and try to protect as many of their own people as possible. In case the other S-class were controlled by the demon, there was still a chance to confront it in the end.
Zong Jiu deeply agreed. Anyway, at this moment, he and Zhuge An were already grasshoppers tied to a string, not to mention that the devil had clearly expressed his interest in him. Not to mention that he could also ignore the control of No. 1 and break the puppet string.
If a fight really broke out, the first one to be dealt with would be him. Why not strike first and gain the upper hand?
As soon as he finished speaking, almost all the remaining ninety-six trainees in Class 9 raised their hands in unison.
Ninety-eight smiled and said, "Brother Nine, there's no need to count. We'll all go."
Before Magician's arrival, the trainees of Class 3.9 toasted each other. Everyone opened up their hearts and talked about things that they didn't say in the dungeon.
"Sigh, if only we were a little stronger back then, maybe 99 and 15 wouldn't have had to be sacrificed."
"Yeah, at the end of the day, we're still too weak. We're a burden to Brother Nine."
"I've decided to go for this event. Wealth comes from danger. There's always a price to pay to improve your strength."
"What? You want to go? Sure, I'll go too. "
"Count me in."
"Me too."
.....
Everyone's thoughts were simple.
In the end, the tragedy that happened at No.1 Middle School was because they were not strong enough.
The B-level trainees were in an awkward position. They could not hold important positions in the organization like A-class trainees and naturally did not receive much attention. They were usually the mainstays of the organization, but they were better than the weakest.
Previously, when they came to participate in the horror trainee competition, many of them had signed up with the organization. When they heard the main system announce that only one hundred people would survive, they were disheartened.
But it was different now. Now, not only did they have to carry the hope of survival, they also had to carry 99 and 15's shares. It was precisely these last two portions that gave everyone an inexhaustible amount of energy.
No one objected to the suggestion of participating in the Halloween event. Even if Brother Nine did not plan to lead the team, everyone decided to go for the lion's den.
Since they had all decided to go, Zong Jiu sent a message to Xu Su and Xu Sen, asking them to meet up at the bar on the top floor.
After everyone had arrived, Zong Jiu began to make his own arrangements.
Since he had decided to cause trouble and backstab the devil, he could not expose his relationship with Zhuge An now.
"There are still twenty days until the Halloween event. During this time, don't lose sight of the bigger picture. First, get the Rainbow Amusement Park experience box, and at the same time, check out the area."
One had to admit that the main system was insidious.
The main system announced the gameplay of the Battle Royale, but it did not announce the map of the Rainbow Amusement Park. It even kindly told the trainees that there were many Dimension Doors in the park that led directly to the trainees' dormitory. It would not affect the process of everyone returning to the dormitory to rest.
This move was clearly telling everyone that if they wanted to participate in the Halloween Battle Royale, they had to figure out the map of the theme park within the next twenty days. Otherwise, when the main system directly announced which building or amusement facility the safe house was, they wouldn't know where to run.
The problem was that the Rainbow Amusement Park was too big.
They stood on the top floor of the trainees' dormitory and looked down.
The island that originally only had a few rocks had expanded to an incredible extent. As far as the eye could see, they could only see the amusement park's colorful lights shining in the night sky.
There were hundreds of different types of rides, and each type of ride might be duplicated. In general, there were close to 900 types of rides, and the setting was bigger than ten Disneyland times. Otherwise, the main system would not have been so merciful as to give them 20 days to explore.
"There are a total of one hundred and ten people, so let's divide into eleven teams."
The white-haired youth touched his chin. "What we have to do is to draw the map of the amusement park."
"It's the kind of map that is accurate to the Dimension Door. There can't be any mistakes."
This was indeed a big project, and everyone needed to get a trial card. Presumably, the next twenty days would not be easy.
Everyone replied in unison, "Yes!" To show that they would definitely complete the task.
Seeing their cooperation, Zong Jiu nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go, it's almost midnight. Let's go down and take a look."
.....
When it was close to midnight, the movement in the Rainbow Amusement Park slowly stopped.
The amusement park that the trainees saw in the studio was still a half-finished product. After they returned to the dormitory, the amusement park continued to grow out of thin air. The flowers in the flower beds grew one by one, and the iron bars of the roller coaster were built in the air one by one, and then painted with different colors.
It was not until now that the colorful lights on all the rides and ceilings slowly lit up. The central castle was illuminated with different colors by the spotlights. The lanterns floated in the air, and the tassels hanging on the trees flickered like fireworks and silver flowers, flickering like stars.
"Bang —"
At midnight, as if someone had pressed the start button, thousands of fireworks suddenly bloomed behind the castle, illuminating the night sky like it was daytime, and dyed with dazzling colors.
On the beach in the distance, a huge searchlight suddenly turned on in the depths of the sea. The small light bulb floating on the sea made the dark seabed bright and clear, and also slowly revealed the underwater tunnel at the bottom. As far as the eye could see, there was a dazzling sea of stars, like a real fairytale world.
[Special Scene: Rainbow Amusement Park, Opened]
[Panoramic cameras will be opened in all areas. During the Halloween event, each participant will have their own personal camera and live broadcast room.]
[After the event, the scene will be permanently reserved for daily entertainment purposes.]
As soon as the cold mechanical voice fell, like a magic trick, a lot of staff suddenly appeared at the gate of the amusement park, which was empty just now.
Different from Las Vegas and the bar on the top floor, these staff members were not wearing Dealer's clothes, nor were they wearing the most common swallowtails in the trainees' dormitory. Instead, each of them was wearing a variety of doll clothes.
As far as the eye could see, there were teddy bears, Bugs Bunny, little yellow ducks, Donald Duck … and so on. There were so many of them, and there were even people wearing Ultraman headgear. There were hundreds of dolls, and none of them were the same. These dolls were either pushing ice cream carts or popcorn carts. There were also water pistols in their hands, ready to distribute around the water park, and small baskets of fresh strawberries.
A trainee happened to be thirsty, and quickly walked to the tray in front of the doll to get a glass of juice.
The teddy bear lowered its head, and the corners of its mouth on the doll's cloth curled up strangely. The red circle of its mouth painted brightly.
At this moment, the main system sounded again.
[Ding dong, new special prompt]
[All the staff members in the amusement park are dressed up as Halloween event NPCs]
Halloween event NPCs?
Isn't that —
The D-level trainee who had just taken the juice from the teddy bear and was drinking from the cup stiffened. The next second, he spat out the juice and was so scared that he peed his pants. He stumbled backward, rolling and crawling. His voice changed as he screamed in the night sky.
"Help! There's a ghost! Ahhhhh! "
The main system spoke again after a pause of more than ten seconds.
[Before the start of the Halloween event, the NPCs will not pose any threat to the trainees, and the headgear cannot be removed in any form. Conversely, the trainees will not be able to use special items on the NPCs during this time. Please be informed.]
As if agreeing with the main system's words, the teddy bear's big head nodded stiffly. The scarlet paint on its face was even more frightening, and it even gave off an illusion of ghostly cuteness.
In the silent night sky, the sound of the trainees swallowing their saliva became particularly noticeable.
Even if the main system said so, a ghost was still a ghost! It didn't mean that they weren't ghosts just because they didn't remove their headgear!
Who knew if these dolls were headless corpses under the headgear, or female ghost sisters with long fluttering hair who appeared in the middle of the night, or a Texas chainsaw murderer who loved to peel off human skin and paste it on his face?
After the main system mercilessly exposed the truth behind these dolls, no one dared to associate them with the word "cute" anymore.
On the other hand, Zong Jiu raised his eyebrows and spoke in a low voice to the Class 9 team around him.
That's right, their team's temporary name was Class 9 team.
Zong Jiu wanted to gather some people to enter the team dungeon with him, but that didn't mean that he wanted to form an organization. After all, the trainees from Class 3.9 had their own organizations before they joined the Thriller Trainee Competition. Some of them even had teammates in their organizations. Forcing them to make a choice between their organizations was not only unnecessary, but it would also attract unnecessary hostility.
On the contrary, it was better to form a temporary team. Other organizations would consider using these dispensable Class B trainees in their own organizations to improve their relationship with the strongest newcomer, Magician. Once they achieved their goal, they wouldn't have to waste too much effort.
"These dolls are quite interesting, everyone should pay more attention when you investigate them."
The white-haired youth stared at the dolls. "Do you remember the booklet saying that the ghosts in the Halloween event are divided into good and bad ghosts?"
"The main system said that NPCs can't attack trainees before Halloween, but it didn't say that trainees can't talk to ghosts and look for clues, right?"
