Wu Jin had no time to think about it. He quickly raised up his submachine gun to shoot at the elevated platform, but Zuo Botang wasnt eager for an exchange of gunfire and retreated behind shelter. Wu Jin set his teeth, then turned and ran towards the exit with all his strength. Another trainee who was five meters ahead of him had already stepped outside

At this time, the sound of mechanisms s.h.i.+fting sounded out, and the door closed!

On the elevated platform, the Temperance card was pulled out, and Ming Yao had already replaced it with another card.

The instance beneath the gothic spires was locked down like a cage.

From the other side of the wall came the sound of moving metal instruments, the creaking of gears, and the pulling sound of hinges as well as countless subtle sounds of friction. It was as though they were all being moved by an invisible hand of fate.

Wu Jin, whod been just one step away from leaving the instance, was forced to retreat backwards as the sounds in his ears grew louder and bigger, almost sc.r.a.ping against his eardrums.

His field of vision was dim, and the original hills and gra.s.sy fields seemed to be swept up by the wind, the scene inside the instance spinning as it s.h.i.+fted.

All of a sudden, several fluorescent lights lit up on the walls of the instance.

An enclosed preparation area!

Other than Jingyis double c who were on the elevated platform, all the other players, including Wu Jin, rushed unhesitatingly towards the preparation area. The instance began to change as soon as everyone arrived.

First, the vegetation at the base of the hill split apart in a straight line, revealing the deep foundations and an intricate network of wires. The terrain sank slowly and was s.h.i.+fted to both sides. The huge, silver mechanical arm that held the terrain flashed by.

All the players who had turned into silver life-saving capsules, including that big brother, were all s.n.a.t.c.hed up by the mechanical arm and tossed down a recycling tube.

Several life-saving capsules clattered as they rolled, leaving the arena within a few minutes. The program crew would pry the contestants out of the capsules and interview them after theyd received a medical exam.

Then, there was the elevated platform.

Wu Jin looked up quickly. The platform was the same as the preparation area and acted as a safe zone while the instance was being remodeled. Jingyis double c-position hid behind the columns and were also looking up.

The angel sculpture hanging in mid-air looked compa.s.sionate as she finally set down the chalices. She closed her eyes, her lips raising slightly as she slowly opened up her arms. The crimson wings behind her shoulder blades gradually obscured the light.

The last source of light disappeared, and the instance was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Beneath them, they could hear the sound of the mechanical arm replacing the terrain, but there was no way to see anything.

Regardless of what the upcoming instance was, Wu Jin only knew that it would be Jingyi Entertainments trump card.

Wu Jin slowly inhaled even as he quickly turned on the headset.

In the team channel, Zoe was currently speaking to Wen Lin, Just now was The Chariot instance. On the card, a powerful figure is controlling two lions to pull his chariot. When I went in, the person whod changed the card cleared out the chariot and opened up a barren area that stretched for a hundred miles around him, d.a.m.n it. We were treated as lions who had to fight back and forth below, while he sat there alone in the chariot and watched a playk2026;

Wu Jin interjected at this time, Brother Zoe, Im trapped in the sixth instance! Jingyi Entertainment changed the card!

Zoe: If theres a chance, Im going to wreck him with a gunwait a minute, Little Witch, what did you say?

Zoe breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wu Jins voice, but his expression grew solemn, Little Witch, wait for me in the instance. Ill come to find you right away.

Wu Jin was relieved.

One person had been eliminated, and another had escaped. There were still 13 people left in the instance, and Zoe should be able to enter the instance as long as they were short on people. He just didnt know what the maximum number of people for this card was.

The sound of the terrain changing beneath their feet was becoming lighter. The instance had nearly finished its remodelling.

Wu Jin reported, Its about to start

A swish suddenly sounded through the mic in his ear, and the hearts of several people on the team channel clenched.

Zoe dodged the stray bullet and cursed, Someones guarding the way!

Wu Jin: From which direction? Can you see who the other side is

Zoe: The one who changed the card into the Chariot.

Wu Jin froze. The second half of the sentence stuck in his throat and never made it out.

Fortunately, Zoe soon steadied his position, Theres shelter, Im fine. Ill just wait and keep an eye out before leaving. It just means we wont meet up that quickly. Im just surprised, because it would be great for him to just continue with that Chariot card. Why would he run out just like me Little Witch, can you tell what card you have over there?

Wu Jin squinted, Theres no light, I cant see the instance. Im thinking that the Jingyi double sniper configuration uses too many resources, but under 2v2 conditions, it has some obvious advantages. Jingyis trump card should be a card that allows the double c-positions to stay together.

In the team communication channel, Caesar, who was always half a beat behind his teammates, finally appeared.

Zoes eyebrows leapt up. He hurried to speak before Caesars chattering broke in, Little Witch, try your best to stall for time and wait for me to get there. Do what you need to do. Remember, n.o.body in the entire Crosson Show dares to compete against their double c in terms of tacit cooperation

Caesar echoed, Oh, yeah! They say that the two of them built up their cooperation by eating, living, and sleeping together

Zoe and Wen Lin: Shut up!

Wu Jin looked down at his feet.

The preparation area was quiet as the instance remodeling finally finished.

Faint light sprinkled in from the top, first illuminating the angels crimson wings, then her open arms, closed eyes, and smiling cheeks. It spread to the green gra.s.s, revealing birds and flowers, lush apple trees, dead branches and flames, and snakes flas.h.i.+ng amidst the gra.s.s.

The Garden of Eden!

Wu Jin realized what it was almost instantaneously.

Of the 22 major arcana cards, only one had the Garden of Eden.

The sun shone, and the angel had its arms open. A couple stood together with the angels blessing. Adam looked at Eve, and Eve gazed at the angel, and the place where they stood was full of vitality due to their love.

The sixth card of the major arcana, The Lovers.

Wu Jins thoughts turned rapidly. The instance had everything that was present in the card, except for the Lovers that were pulled together by the angel. According to the rules of the Judgement card, the missing elements in the instance were all made up for by the players

In the preparation area, the virtual screen on the small table lit up.

Please select your partner and lover within three minutes. If both parties choose each other, it will be a successful match. If they fail, they will be randomly a.s.signed a partner by the system.

Wu Jins expression suddenly turned sluggish.

Its a two-person team instance Bro, brother Zoe, we have to form a team together in three minutes

The team communication channel exploded once Wu Jin described the rules.

Zoe: Ill be there right away! That persons still shooting!! Little Witch, hold on, dont choose anyone. Wait for your Brother Zoe to get there!

Caesar: F*ck me, what rules are these? Can the game even be played like that??

There were two minutes left.

Zoe performed a slithering walk amidst the rain of bullets with much difficulty, Little Witch, hold on Im almost, almost there Slide down to the last portrait spot on the screen and select me directly when I come in

One minute left.

The instance urged them constantly, and Wu Jin could only reach out towards the screen.

The other 12 contestants head profiles appeared in the center of the screen one after another, with Interested to the left, and Pa.s.s on the right.

Even Jingyis double c-positions appeared in the list.

Wu Jin didnt hesitate to slide to the right again and again.

Thirty seconds left.

Wu Jin was despairing, Brother Zoe, Im afraid its going to be randomized!

Zoe was going crazy, Im afraid I cant make it there in 30 seconds! Dont worry, I can help you even if I cant match up with you. Remember, Little Witch, dont show your back to others. Theres a high point reward for killing A-level trainees. You might know someone, know what they look like, but you dont know their heart! If the person youre randomly a.s.signed to isnt reliable, just eliminate them!

Caesar was protesting and hollering, What? Eliminate them? Others are pairing up to play The Lovers card, but youre telling Little Witch to play the widow card alone??? No way, Little Witch, you have to use love to change him and make him fall in love with you

Caesar was muted.

Five seconds left.

Wu Jin looked hopelessly at the virtual screen.

Zoe suddenly spoke up, Wait, is it instance number 6? I just saw the person who shot at me go in

One minute ago, in the Crosson Show directors studio.

Ying Xiangxiangs face was wreathed in smiles, and the air was full of a happy atmosphere. The scrolling comments were also very active.

Well, its the card you guys like to see the most, the major arcana card, The Lovers. Ying Xiangxiang loosened her hands, First of all, congratulations to Jingyis double c on successfully linking hands.

The scrolling comments were full of My CP is out in the open!, Theres

candy

66666, Please give me a dozen instances like this!!, Hahahahaha, is this the instances dating software?

Hugging the single Little Witch tightly, Im new here, can I ask how many credits need to be spent in order to have this darlings profile image show up on Little Witchs screen? Little Thin is still throwing darts in instance number two, the

Thin Witch CP

is hopeless.

Two Fools CP

hopeless +1

Blood Pigeon coughed solemnly, covering up the confusion in his eyes. He obviously didnt know much about the fan circles.

Ying Xiangxiang took over as the host, Lets switch the camera back to Little Witch. Unfortunately, Little Witch pa.s.sed on everyone. Little Witchs standards are really high, and it seems that n.o.body is the lively and cute type that he likesjust kidding. Obviously, Little Witch is waiting for his teammate Zoe, but Zoe was blocked in the corridor and probably wont be able to catch up in the next few seconds.

Oh, a new contestant just came in.

Lets take a look at the other players choices. Other than the Jingyi double c, almost all the other players chose Little Witch. I have to say that Little Witchs profile image is very handsome. Of course, their choice of Little Witch is more a recognition of his strength.

There are currently 14 players inside the instance. As you can see, the new contestants profile image has appeared in Little Witchs screen. Will Little Witch choose to continue to pa.s.s and allow the system to randomly a.s.sign him a partner, or will he team up with this C-level trainee

In the camera, Wu Jin stilled, but his small curls suddenly fluffed up exuberantly. He didnt hesitate at all before sliding to the left to indicate interest.

On the virtual selection screen, Wei s.h.i.+s profile image lit up.

Partnering success.

Juurensha: WS, you werent going to let anyone else pair up with your rabbit spirit for the Lovers instance, huh.
