Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 865: Three-Color Competition

Chapter 865: Chapter 865: Three-Color Competition

"Fifty people..." the young man being beaten spoke, his mouth bloody, not daring to look directly at the player hitting him, only quietly pleading, "What I said is true, please don’t kill me..."

As he spoke, some people around them unconsciously took a few steps back.

This scene made the player relax his grip slightly.

"What’s the situation?" Xiao Xianglin said, "It looks like there’s a rule only we players aren’t aware of."

Xu Huo shook his head, indicating he was unaware.

Actually, it was nearly out in the open.

Among those participating in the show were players and ordinary people; perhaps some players were aiming to settle in Sea World. For players, reducing competitors wasn’t hard, but the non-players present didn’t consider this scenario an immediate crisis, indicating the show had relevant restrictive rules and players couldn’t kill as they wished.

"The good-for-you, good-for-me" main content of the show was a tri-color competition and subsequent task completion, where the most crucial step of choice required cooperation from both sides, irrelevant of personal identity. Since both non-players and players competed together, the task content might also be adjusted according to the abilities of both.

"Time’s up!" The host’s voice sounded again, "All 381 guests participating in the show have received their numbers. Next, please watch the bottom of the screen. After a five-second countdown, the number that appears will be your teammate, five, four, three, two, one!"

Xu Huo looked at the two rows of numbers on the projection screen in front of him. The top number, 313, was his number; the bottom number, 64, was his teammate’s number.

"You’re 313, too bad." Xiao Xianglin’s number was 340, matched with teammate 117. He waved at Xu Huo, "I’m going to find my teammate."

The two moved into the crowd, following the arrows displayed on the projection screen through the plaza.

As he neared the center of the plaza, some people surrounded a man, congratulating him enviously on his first round bye.

Three hundred and eighty-one people, with pairs forming teams left one individual out; this person couldn’t team up for the first round and only entered the second round if others died.

Meaning, this individual could pass the first round without facing any danger.

Xu Huo bypassed these people.

But in just two or three seconds, a faint tearing sound came from behind; Xu Huo turned back, the man with the bye was spraying blood from his neck, even before he could lift his hands to the wound, he was already dead.

As he collapsed, those around him quickly dispersed, vigilantly searching for the attacker, and less than ten meters from them, a white block on the ground of the plaza suddenly dropped, a player, along with several ordinary people next to him, fell through together!

If it were a normal fall, players could handle it, but as soon as the floor opened, it seemed to have a force beneath, sucking in everyone directly above and even pulling in one who accidentally slipped with one foot hanging off the edge.

After the people fell, the floor closed again, starting from the incident spot, the white blocks on the ground of the plaza sequentially turned transparent, providing a clear view of below.

Below the plaza was an ocean, the ordinary people who fell didn’t even have a chance to struggle before being swarmed and bitten by piranhas, and amidst the scattered blood, only that player managed to escape. He moved away from the Piranha Swarm, trying to break through the floor to get back to the surface, but even after switching props repeatedly, he only managed to leave several cracks on the floor.

"I haven’t hosted this show in a long time, and I’ve forgotten to remind you all of something important." The host appeared with a smile, "Each one here can potentially become a friend. As someone who seeks friendship, how could you possibly kill someone who might become your friend in the future?"

"And this also goes against the spirit of sharing friendship at Sea World."

"Those who don’t respect friendship will naturally not receive it, hence Friendship Park will expel those from Sea World who will never gain friendship."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Underwater, the player frantically hit the floor, and during a moment of vulnerability, piranhas inflicted wounds on him, the spreading blood and the vibrations of the impacts seemingly resonating with some underwater creature, which, accompanied by a strange low hum, a massive shadow slowly emerged from the depths.

Judging by size alone, it was at least ten meters long, yet had not fully revealed its body.

The watching participants stepped back in shock, and the underwater player, seeing the aboveground crowd’s reaction, also looked down, but in the next second, a tremendous force pinned him against the floor, tiny red marks rapidly spread across his exposed skin like fine capillaries!

The ground of the plaza vibrated slightly.

With a simple movement, the dark shadow sank back down, the player remained floating against the floor, and after a few seconds, blood began to trickle from his mouth, nose, and ears, a faint mist of blood also drifted from his body.

The piranhas that had cleaned up the other bodies surged toward the player, dragging the corpse into deep waters.

The floor’s lighting shifted and returned to its previous milky white.

Xu Huo looked up at the host, the clear projection fully revealing the host’s subtle expression; he sighed contentedly, "What difference does it make between living and dying for someone without friendship?"

Thunderous applause echoed from outside the venue.

Xu Huo narrowed his eyes; this wasn’t just about "expelling" those who broke the rules, it also "implied" including those around them—at least he didn’t see any intention to attain "possible future friendship" among these so-called friendship sharers.

"May I ask a question?" The female player, Zhuang Mengtian, raised her hand.

"Ah, it’s a beautiful lady," the host gave a gentlemanly bow, "Please go ahead."

"If the expelled player survives and comes up, will they be expelled a second time?" Zhuang Mengtian asked.

"If you no longer disrupt friendship, we certainly welcome you to stay." The host smiled.

With this affirmative reply, many players visibly relaxed, and some covertly tested the hardness of the floor.

"Just now, we lost six guests, those without teammates will be automatically matched." The host returned to the topic at hand, "Now, look at the central big screen, the system will randomly select the first group of guests!"

The numbers flickered and stopped on "164" and "73".

A few seconds later, two ordinary people walked out from the crowd, each standing to one side of the big screen.

The large screen then turned milky white, and with the opponents unable to see, there appeared a black, white, and yellow projected sphere in front of each person.

"As the first group of guests who might form a friendship today, they have three minutes to decide whether to allow the other to become their friend." The host’s voice surrounded the plaza, "Will they choose the yellow sphere to share hardships, the white sphere to show goodwill, or the black sphere to end this friendship and at the same time end the other’s life?"
