Chapter 418: It's Like Brushing Shoulders with Death

There were more than a thousand witches present.

Even if they were divided into ten witches to form a passing batch, they would have to go through several batches.

In order not to waste time...

The witches in front were already walking very fast.

But even so, the team was still very long.

Chen Ye's position happened to be in the middle and back of the witches.

Therefore, if he wanted to take his turn, it would take a long time.

The team moved at the speed of a snail, and it took a long time to see that it barely moved one grid.

Just then...

The long team finally got Chen Ye's turn.

"Ding ding ding!"

[Lord of the Night] swiped the card slot again.

Soon, the witches in front did not dare to neglect it. When they saw the signal light turned "green", they immediately quickened their pace and wanted to pass through quickly.

In silence, the witches took steps and kept passing through the iron gate, as if they were walking on a tightrope.

The team in front was getting shorter and shorter, gradually approaching the middle.

"These guys are walking quite carefully... So far, no one has had any problems." Chen Ye murmured in his heart.

In fact, he still hoped that a witch would make a mistake by accident and cross the iron gate when the red alarm sounded to see what the consequences would be.

Sometimes...

Violating the taboos in the copy does not mean immediate death, and there are still ways to rescue.

If there is a witch who can act as the "first warrior to eat crabs" and step on the red line to show everyone, she can also provide herself with information and materials for the strategy.

But unfortunately... this group of witches are walking too carefully. Seeing that the team is about to pass half, no one has had any problems.

That's right...

Although the rituals of this group of witches are a bit worse, they have all survived to the second month. Apart from anything else, at least their survival ability is still at an average level. Those who would take the initiative to die are estimated to have become part of this city long ago. How can they still live so comfortably?

About ten minutes later, as the witches walked more and more skillfully and faster and faster, half of the team had already walked.

Finally, it was Chen Ye's turn.

Looking forward, Chen Ye found that he was the tenth witch.

"It seems that my luck is not very good..." He frowned, not knowing whether this was a deliberate arrangement.

There were so many witches, but he was the tenth one, the most dangerous one...

It was the easiest to get into trouble!

To be on the safe side, Chen Ye opened the Eye of Luck and focused his attention to observe the blood light directly above the iron gate.

If there was any emergency, he would retreat immediately...

Fortunately, the witches walking in front of Chen Ye almost understood that their position was probably safer, so they quickened their pace and passed as quickly as possible to buy time for the witches behind.

When the first few witches passed, there was basically no problem...

But at this moment, Chen Ye suddenly found that the speed of the blood light condensing above the iron gate had become much faster than before!

"Speed ​​change?"

Chen Ye's face changed slightly.

At this moment.

The team in front of him had already reached the seventh witch...

When she passed through, the accumulation of blood light suddenly increased sharply.

The rich blood-colored star was constantly shrinking and expanding, as if it was about to explode at any time.

After the eighth witch passed...

The blood light had reached the critical point of the previous explosion!

However, the ninth witch surprisingly passed through the iron gate without any accidents.

Now it was Chen Ye's turn...

The eyes of [Lord of the Night] fell on Chen Ye, and suddenly frowned slightly.

He noticed that the movements of this witch seemed to be much slower, as if she was in a daze.

Just when [Lord of the Night] wanted to scold...

Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the card slot!

"Beep beep!!!"

After passing the first nine witches, the signal light turned red.

It was not like before, the signal light would turn to "green" after ten witches.

At this moment, Chen Ye's foot just stopped at the iron gate, only one millimeter away, and stopped.

It was as if they had brushed shoulders with the god of death!

Witnessing this scene, the faces of the other witches changed instantly.

"What happened?"

"Only nine witches have passed by, and the countdown has not reached three, why did the alarm suddenly sound?"

"This is too scary!"

"Luckily, that witch hasn't passed by yet, otherwise, wouldn't she be dead?"

"That guy's luck is too good, he just stopped when the alarm sounded, otherwise, he would be dead..."

All the witches present were terrified.

Before, they clearly followed the countdown of the [Lord of the Night] and followed the law of ten witches passing, and nothing happened?

Now there is a sudden change, which immediately makes people feel uneasy...

After all, from ten to nine, the countdown is less than a few seconds, so it is hard to say whether it will change again in the future...

Although the witch was particularly lucky this time and escaped this disaster, who knows if they will be so lucky next time it's their turn?

[Lord of the Night] narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Ye. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice:

"Why did you suddenly slow down?"

Once this was said, the other witches were completely confused.

At this critical moment, what does it mean to say this?

If the witch hadn't suddenly stopped, wouldn't she have died?

However, this sentence seemed to question why the other party was so lucky to avoid the threat of death this time...

Isn't it too chilling?

In fact.

In the eyes of [Lord of the Night], these witches are not his subordinates at all.

Whether it is chilling or not...has nothing to do with him.

However, in his eyes, these witches are just a bunch of idiots. How many players can have such a good awareness.

But this witch, after showing an abnormal walking posture, just avoided the wrong pattern and death time this time.

Obviously, it doesn't look like a player of this level should be able to show it.

As a core member of the Dark Night Organization with a very sharp intuition, [Lord of the Night] obviously noticed that there was something strange here, so he asked such a harsh question.

This kind of question seems particularly unreasonable, but in fact, it is also understood by players of this level.

Chen Ye took a deep breath and said: "Sir, I intuitively felt that it might be dangerous to go down, so I hesitated for a moment and did not go immediately."

"How to say it specifically... It's a bit like intuition."

"It seems that deep in my heart, there is a voice calling me not to go."

"I hesitated a little, but I still followed this voice."

"I didn't expect that it helped me to survive a death crisis very fortunately."

When making this response, Chen Ye did not let his expression deliberately panic, but just took a long breath, and deliberately raised his eyebrows, pretending that he was like the chosen son of heaven, lucky enough to escape the death crisis, and felt the unique pride of himself.

At the same time, his heartbeat slightly accelerated, simulating the normal physiological reaction that a normal person would encounter after being frightened.

But his facial expression deliberately suppressed the feeling of panic, and instead deliberately made a calm expression.

[The Lord of the Night] looked at Chen Ye deeply, and then said: "Go!"

Ding ding ding!!!

This time, after swiping the card, Chen Ye became the first to pass.

The blood light near the iron gate condensed again, and it was not as strong as before, and even a little dimmer, which meant that it would be safer to pass through the iron gate at this time.

Chen Ye did not hesitate and stepped through directly.

He knew that he had deceived the [Lord of the Night] with his acting skills just now and obtained the safest passing position.

The witches behind did not dare to neglect and hurriedly stepped through the iron gate.

However... when it came to the seventh and eighth witches, it was obvious that the action was a little slower. Even if the countdown of the [Lord of the Night] was still several seconds, they had to be cautious.

For fear that the previous problem would occur again.

The [Lord of the Night] also knew that the rule of ten witches passing through was already difficult for this group of witches to pass through at ease, so he simply modified the rules to limit only seven witches to pass through at one time.

After the rules were modified, the speed naturally became slower.

After all, the gate must wait for the red light to light up and the alarm to sound before swiping the card again to refresh the time.

The more players pass through, the faster the red alarm will sound.

At this time, swiping the card again can reset the time.

But it was changed to seven witches passing through at one time...

Even after the seventh witch passed through, she had to wait patiently for about one or two minutes before it could be reset.

Compared with the rule of "ten witches passing through at one time", the efficiency is naturally much slower.

Moreover, there seemed to be other restrictions. Only one witch could pass through at a time, and two could not go side by side.

Other witches also mentioned this point when discussing privately.

But no witch dared to question the [Lord of the Night] face to face...

They knew very well that their lives were in the hands of this man, and it was just a matter of blinking an eye.

How dare I raise such doubts?

At this moment.

[The Instigator Witch] was surrounded by a layer of star ripples, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared behind [The Lord of the Night].

She quietly transmitted her voice with her spirituality: "That witch, are you sure there is nothing wrong?"

[The Lord of the Night] said coldly:

"What do you think is wrong?"

[The Instigator Witch] frowned:

"Such a coincidence, being able to avoid the abnormal state, is this luck or are there other factors?"

"Coincidence." When [The Lord of the Night] said this word, his face was cold, revealing an undeniable confidence: "Humph, although they are just a group of witches, it is undeniable that they have inherited the unique talent of this profession in terms of intuition."

"That guy thought he had a strong judgment ability, just avoided a death crisis, and was complacent there."

"From this point, it can be judged that she has only a few ounces of water in her stomach, which is not worth mentioning."

After hearing the explanation from the Lord of the Night, the Witch of Instigation always felt that something was wrong, but it seemed that everything could be connected, and she could not find any other points of doubt. She was silent for a moment and did not question it again.

…………

After passing through the iron gate, there was a plank road made of iron chains in front.

Although the distance was not long, the bridge deck was relatively wide, and it could accommodate five people walking side by side.

However, there were only light iron chains on both sides of the plank road, forming an insignificant railing.

Looking down through the railing, it was a cliff covered by gray fog and miasma.

If you fall from the iron chain plank road...

I am afraid you don’t know where it will lead to.

The miasma above the cliff alone is enough to shock ordinary people.

Several witches stayed on this side of the plank road timidly, not daring to move forward.

It was not until the leader witch came over with an impatient look on her face and led the group of guys over that they had to muster up the courage to cross the iron chain.

Chen Ye did not rush to cross the bridge, but turned back to check the situation of the team behind him.

The group of witches in the back...

Because the [Lord of the Night] modified the rules, it was quite safe to pass through.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion...

Chen Ye felt that after he passed through, the other witches passed through the iron gate again, and the speed of blood light expansion returned to normal again.

“Is it not this iron gate that has a problem, but me?”

Chen Ye couldn’t help but mutter in his heart.

Except for himself, other witches passed through this iron gate normally.

So why is he abnormal?

Thinking carefully, it may not be without reason.

Chen Ye is now carrying a special item from the "River of Time".

Maybe it’s because of that thing that the detection mechanism of the iron gate detects that some dangerous objects are approaching, so the speed has become abnormally faster.

At the same time, Chen Ye used the Eye of Luck to look at the road ahead...

Following the iron rope plank road, it stretched all the way...

At the end, there was a glazed light, standing in front of him in an illusory form.

Although it was not so real, it seemed to have some connection with himself.

"Could the characteristic item for the fourth level be in that place?" Chen Ye couldn't help but make some guesses in his heart.

Looking at the [Instigator Witch] and [Lord of the Night] behind him, he found that they were all covered with a faint blood light.

However, this blood light was not directed at him. It seemed that there was some dangerous environmental factor around, so this blood light appeared.

Thinking about it carefully, it was normal.

In such a dangerous copy, if the luck aura can still be the same as normal, it would be a ghost!

As long as this blood light is not directed at him, it means that the two core members of the Dark Night Organization have not doubted his true identity.

In this way, the problem is not big.
