    Not afraid that Kuai Leng would hide behind Yi Dao and Yi Jian in a frightened manner, the two decisively took out their weapons and stood in front of her, preparing to deal with the possible attack of the big man.

    "Let them in, Ivan." A man's voice came from the door behind the big man: "They are my guests." The tone of the voice was polite, with a slight accent.

    Hearing this, Ivan put down his pistol, walked back to the door, opened the door with his thick arms, and then looked at the players silently.

    ¡¾The cutting-edge mission has been triggered¡¿

    The system prompt sounds at the right time, and everyone can see the task content in the menu: [Enter General Zaroff¡¯s castle and listen to him explain the rules of the game.  ¡¿

    When Feng Bujue saw the mission, his expression changed quickly, and he whispered softly: "General Zaroff Ivan, wait, I am a hunter who encountered a shipwreck and came here" He suddenly raised his head, his eyes serious: "  The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Cornell." In the attic of memory, content related to this story immediately emerged.

    When his inspiration is exhausted, Feng Bujue often reads some short stories to relax and collect materials. Therefore, the contents of these novels are relatively familiar to him and he can recall them quickly.

    If nothing unexpected happens, this script is a game of hunting "people", and Feng Bujue knows very well that the player will play the role of the prey

    After hesitating for a while, Yi Dao and Yi Jian turned around and asked Feng Bujue and Si Yu for their opinions.  Anyway, if something good happens, everyone is vying for it.  But when something dangerous happens, it¡¯s best to let others do it for you. If that doesn¡¯t work, ask for advice first, so that you can shift at least part of the responsibility to others after something happens

    Feng Bujue shrugged, sighed, and walked directly to the front, saying as he walked: "Just follow the mission instructions."

    Ivan stood at the door like a ferocious giant statue, full of intimidation.  However, Feng Bujue didn't even take out his weapon and walked past him as if no one was there and walked into the castle.

    Xiyu followed closely behind. She had already followed Feng Bujue when he stepped forward, and was the second to enter the castle.

    The remaining three people looked at each other in confusion, but Yi Dao reacted first and cleared his throat: "Uh-huh um let's go too."

    Yi Jian borrowed the donkey's hand from the slope and said, "Yes, if they are in any danger, we can help them."

    Bu'aaa nodded and followed the two of them.  The three of them also entered the castle gate one after another.

    Standing at the door, Ivan has been monitoring every player passing in front of him with a condescending and vigilant look. After all five people entered the castle, he silently closed the door.

    Inside the gate is a spacious hall with bright lights.  The marble steps leading to the second floor were very wide, and a muscular man in evening dress was standing there, staring at his five "guests."

    General Zaroff is past middle age, tall and handsome.  His hair is white, but his eyebrows and beard are still black, and his eyes are dark and bright.  In addition to his distinctive facial features, there is something unique about his face, a temperament that only belongs to people who are used to giving orders.

    "I am very happy and honored to welcome all outstanding hunters to visit my home." He bowed slightly and said: "I am General Zaroff." He introduced himself and made a gesture.

    After Ivan saw Zaroff¡¯s actions, he put away his gun, saluted, and stood at the side of the stairs.

    "Please forgive my men for being unreasonable, gentlemen, and ladies, of course." Zaroff's unique tone made every word of his words seem meticulous, as if every word had been carefully thought out: "Ivan is a simple man, but  A little bit savage. He was incredibly strong, but unfortunately, he was mute. God gave him some things and took away others" The look on his face when he said this was worth it  Play with it.

    ¡°Looks like a Cossack.¡± Feng Bujue responded, of course he knew this.

    "Yes, my friend." Zarov replied, smiling, and squeezing out a sentence from his sharp teeth and bright red lips: "Me too."

    He made another gesture, and Ivan quickly walked over and stood in front of the general. Zaroff said a few words to him, but he only moved his lips and did not make a sound.

    After Ivan received the order, he left the hall and disappeared.

    Zaroff then said to everyone: "Everyone, please follow me." He walked down the stairs and led everyone to a corridor.

    A few minutes later, they came to a large medieval-style study room. The floor was covered with gray carpets. The furniture and bookcases had a heavy feel, except for a large number of books.There are also many animal specimens here, such as deer heads, zebra skins, etc., and even a standing grizzly bear.

    "I have read all the books about hunting, in English, French, and Russian. There is no other joy in my life, only hunting." Zharov slowly walked past his collection, as if to show off his  What he said was true, and he said: "Did you see the head of the South African black buffalo?"

    Feng Bujue replied: "It's impressive."

    "That thing caught me and threw me against a tree. My bones were broken, but I finally got rid of the beast." Zharov seemed to remember the hunting scene vividly.

    Feng Bujue knew the meaning of these words very well. Based on the information provided in this dialogue, players should have an idea of ??the tyrannical strength of this wave of SS.

    "I think the South African blackwater is probably the most dangerous type of large-scale hunting." Feng Bujue tried to compare words with Zaroff based on the content of the novel in his memory, so that he could get to the point as quickly as possible.

    The general was suddenly silent for a while, then cast a meaningful look and said slowly: "No, that's not the most dangerous thing." He walked to the desk, picked up a bottle of whiskey, raised it, looked at everyone and said  : "Want some?"

    "No, thank you." Feng Bujue replied.

    Zaroff poured himself a glass and drank it.  Liquor, said: "On this island, which is my territory, I invented a more dangerous hunting."

    "Invention?" Feng Bujue asked knowingly.

    "Haha, yes, invention." The general smiled and nodded: "You must be wondering, how to hunt?" He paused: "Of course, I am not God, and it is impossible to create a dangerous animal out of thin air. But  , I discovered a species that has existed for a long time but has never been hunted by anyone. They are not native to this island, but I can purchase it myself. What kind of prey did you introduce, general? Is it a tiger?" Feng Bujue was still chatting with me.  This wave of SS is facing the words.

    Except for Xiyu, the other three people were a little confused. They were all thinking: This little

    Isn¡¯t your son too into the drama? Do you really think of yourself as the hunter mentioned in the script?  Why are you talking so much to an NPC?

    Zaroff grinned: "No, tigers have made me tired. I have tortured them enough, and hunting tigers has lost its appeal to me. Those animals can no longer make my hands tremble.  One second." He took out a gold cigarette case from his pocket and picked up a long black cigar. There was a silver line logo on the cigar. When lit, it gave off an aroma like incense.

    "I am the kind of person who lives to enjoy danger, but most animals can no longer make me feel dangerous." Zaroff vomited.  Yan: "God made some people become poets, some people became kings, and some people became beggarsand me, He made me the best and strongest hunter." He showed a sad look:  "But after a period of happy days, finally one day, I found that hunting no longer appealed to me. You are also a hunter. Can you guess why?"

    "If hunting is regarded as a sport, you always know that you will win before the game starts, right?" Feng Bujue continued.

    "That's right, I didn't expect you to understand." Zaroff said happily: "I can always successfully hunt my prey, because they are just animals, they have nothing except legs and instincts.

    But I am a human being with intelligence. It is not fair to compete with intelligence and instinct.  When I realized this, I felt so miserable, just pathetic.  He smoked the cigar again: "Until one day, I had inspiration and I realized that there is another kind of thing that I have never hunted before. They are the most perfect prey because they can think."  "

    When hearing this, the four people except Feng Bujue finally understood the basic situation of the script. The General Zaroff in front of them turned out to be an anti-human lunatic who hunted humans for excitement.  The "Listen to him to explain the rules of the game" displayed in the mission is the rules for the next "hunt".

    "Are you sure this is not a joke?" Feng Bujue responded in a very serious tone. Of course, he himself had already determined that luck was no joke.

    "I never joke about hunting." Zaroff replied: "I bought this island and built this house. I am here just for hunting."  The island is an unparalleled hunting ground, a maze of jungles filled with winding paths, cliffs, swamps and, most importantly, surrounded by sea.  Here I hunt almost every day and to this day I never get tired of it.  "

    "I'm very confused, General." Feng Bujue said: "There are five of us here, can't we stop your crazy behavior directly in the study room?An act of murder?  Hahahahaha" Zaroff laughed: "Murder?  No, no, no, this is an intellectual contest, a game between the hunter and the prey.  "His eyes scanned the five players: "As for the situation you mentioned," he raised his arm and made a gesture.

    Ivan appeared out of nowhere with a tray in his hand and brought the general a fragrant Turkish coffee.  He put the coffee away and stood beside Zaroff like an iron tower, glaring at the players present with burning eyes.

    "A group of Spanish sailors once arrived on this island. I invited them to join me in my hunting, but they refused and showed obvious hostility." Zharov said calmly: "Ivan killed them all by himself.  Tear them into pieces and feed them to the animals on the island." Upon hearing this, Feng Bujue's expression suddenly changed. He didn't remember that the novel he had read described other wild carnivores on the island: "  Excuse me, what kind of animal is it?"

    "Haha" Zaroff showed a cruel smile: "There are too many pythons, coyotes, Bengal tigers, etc. I want to make the jungle here more lively, so I brought in a lot of goods. Humans are not the first choice of feed. They usually eat  The most common ones are wild boars. Of course, they are live wild boars. Each of them needs to be hunted by themselves, so that the animals can remain wild." Zaroff said to Feng Bujue: "Your face has changed.  It's a bit bad, my friend. Ah, because the answer I would rather hear is something like a bird or a parrot rather than various beasts." Feng Bujue replied.

    "Hahaha you are very humorous." Mrs. Zaro looked extremely happy: "Okay, now, let me tell you some things you need to know during this hunt."

    He walked to the window on one side and pressed a button on the wall. "Did you see it?" the general pointed to the sea in the distance, where the light quickly came on, but it was fleeting.

    ¡°The light from the lamp seems to point out a route, but in fact this route does not exist.

    The rocks huddled there were as sharp as razors, like sea monsters, capable of crushing every passing ship as easily as a nut.  "The general said: "I think the ship you are on has sunk near there at the moment.  So don't expect to escape to the sea to find rescue.  "

    After showing this veritable ship trap, Zaroff came to the window on the other side. He opened a mechanism. In the cellar below the window, the lights flickered. The shape of the space below was very strange, and there were many large black figures.  They walked around there and groaned, their eyes glowing green in the darkness.

    "As a prey, hiding in one place is also a very unwise choice." Zaroff said: "My hounds are well-trained, and they are in my collection room" His eyes swept across  The animal specimens around them smiled ferociously: "I meanin my real collection room, there are many skull specimens. There are some very shrewd people among them, but in the end they can't escape the mouth of my hounds."

    Zaroff closed the window and stood in front of everyone. "Okay, the rules are very simple. There are still five hours until sunrise. You can leave the castle at any time. I will set off to look for you in an hour."  He put down his cigar and wine glass and put his hands behind his back, standing in a military posture: "I don't want you to think that I am bragging, but the number of prey I have hunted far exceeds your imagination. Whites, blacks, Indians, Mongolians, etc.  "Man has had a few truly outstanding prey animals, they were resourceful, strong, tolerant and adaptable, but I have to say, so far, I have never missed one."

    "What if you miss?" Feng Bujue said: "I mean, as long as we survive until sunrise, you will lose, right? Haha." The general showed a confident smile and said in an enthusiastic tone: "Then  Your efforts will be worth it. I will prepare a monorail sailboat for you and guide you on how to reach the nearest town on land." Zaroff picked up the wine glass on the table again: "You can trust me completely  I guarantee this as a gentleman, a soldier and an athlete. Of course, you must also agree not to mention anything about what happened here." He lowered his voice: "If you can really leave  ¡­¡­¡­¡± [The current mission is completed, the main mission has been updated]

    The system prompt sounded. The original task in the game menu had a check mark, and a new task appeared: [Escape from the castle and avoid General Zaroff¡¯s hunt until sunrise.  ¡¿

    ¡¾There are still 59 minutes left before departure from Zarov¡¿

    ¡¾There are still 299 minutes until sunrise¡¿

    In addition to the task description, the values ??of these two times can also be viewed at any time below the task bar, but they are not accurate to seconds.

    The general sipped his wine, and before the players left, he gave a few words of advice very kindly and sincerely: "By the way, I suggest that you stay in the castle."When approaching, try to avoid leaving footprints, that is a stupid mistake: in addition, it is best not to go to the southeast corner of the island, where there is a large swamp, we call it the "Swamp of Death" where there is quicksand.  A smart guy once went there, and my dog ??Lazarus followed him and ended up being buried in the swamp. You can hardly imagine how I felt. Lazarus was the best of my hounds. It felt like that.  That sucks.  "Feng Bujue was already shaking his head, turned around and was about to leave.

    He also didn¡¯t expect that after Zaroff said so many obvious hints, one of his teammates would actually commit an impulsive act.

    ??????????????????? It¡¯s too late, but it¡¯s too soon, with one strike, the sword is drawn and the sword is drawn out. The murderous intention appears, the sword is unsheathed, and the blade cuts horizontally, with the momentum of a galloping bull.

    The distance between him and Zaroff was only about five meters. When he saw Ivan at the gate of the castle, he had already taken out his knife from his bag and held it in his hand, so his attack was very sudden, and the other four people present were all  Shocked.

    "One Blade Allure" has his own understanding of the plot. He feels that this here and now is the best opportunity to kill this wave of SS. There is no need to do anything like escaping. He can just deal with Zaroff here.  If you run into the jungle outside to face all kinds of unknown dangers, and then wait until you are exhausted, then let this wave of SS come with hounds to chase you, that is a sure-fire move.

    From the beginning of the script to now, there have only been two humanoid monsters in this castle. And these two guys are just ordinary humans. How strong can they be?  Their body shapes are within the normal human range, and the weapons they use are ordinary pistols.  From this world view, this is the real world about two centuries ago. These two waves of SS cannot have super powers. Even if their physical fitness is close to the limit of human beings, it doesn't matter, because the players  His combat effectiveness is also stronger than ordinary people.

    The most important point is that Yi Dao Qingcheng is very confident that he can take down this wave of SS. His confidence comes from a skill, which is the title skill of "First Entering the Sword Gate".
