To be honest, before going to the City of Sin, Chen Mo was full of anticipation for the City of Sin. After all, the City of Sin was the joint management center of countless prisons in the game.
Before going, Chen Mo had made all sorts of guesses about the competition in the City of Sin.
One-on-one elimination matches, a chaotic battle between a few or even a dozen people, a round-robin tournament, a killing and robbing competition, and so on.
However, after going through the teleportation portal in the Land of the Exiles, Chen Mo realized that he seemed to have returned to the Land of the Exiles. He was still teleported out of a prison cell. It was almost exactly the same as the Land of the Exiles. The only difference was that the buildings in the City of Sin were more ancient and eerie. He guessed that the Land of the Exiles was an imitation of the City of Sin.
After that, Chen Mo was brought to a huge and spacious hall.
The hall was well-lit and made people feel as if they were bathed in sunlight. In the middle of the hall, there was a huge wooden box.
Inside the wooden box were pieces of wooden puzzle pieces. Then, Chen Mo was told that the first part of the competition was to play the puzzle pieces. If the players could use the puzzle pieces in the wooden box to form a complete picture within a day, they would receive extra points and rewards at the end of the competition.
Chen Mo was speechless. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that he had come all the way to the City of Sin to make Ceci Hailow so awesome. He wanted to show off his skills and ruthlessly torture the other black-name players. In the end, the City of Sin made him stay in his room to play the puzzle.
Wasn't this a scam?
However, what made Chen Mo feel strange was that in the first part of the competition, no matter what the result of the puzzle was, he wouldn't be eliminated.
Chen Mo couldn't be bothered to think about it. After all, he had to stay in this room for a day and couldn't do anything else. Playing the puzzle pieces was the best way to pass the time. If he was lucky and completed the puzzle, he would receive a reward. Why not?
Chen Mo knew that if the City of Sin wanted these dark name adventurers to complete the puzzle, the puzzle would not be simple. However, looking at the frighteningly large wooden box, he knew that there would be a lot of puzzle pieces. It would be very difficult to find the right piece.
However, Chen Mo used all his strength to push the wooden box over and pour out all the puzzle pieces. Only then did Chen Mo realize that the first part of the competition was not an ordinary scam.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still did not expect that all the puzzle pieces in the wooden box were almost the same weird half-closed black eyeball!
This strange black eyeball was half-closed. It seemed to be staring at people, but it also seemed to be looking at something. If one took a closer look, they would feel a chill run down their spine.
Chen Mo flipped through the large pile of puzzle pieces and realized that all the puzzle pieces were really the same picture. Even with his powerful observation skills, he couldn't see any difference. They were completely printed from the same mold.
What was even scarier was that the puzzle pieces were supposed to be matched with the original picture. However, in this large box of puzzle pieces, there was no such thing.
"F * ck, what's the meaning of this?"
Chen Mo couldn't understand what the City of Sin was trying to do. No wonder they said that even if they didn't complete the puzzle, they wouldn't be eliminated. If they didn't complete the puzzle and were eliminated, there wouldn't be many dark name adventurers left. There probably wouldn't be a need for the rest of the competition. In this part of the puzzle, the top five would be determined, and even the champion wouldn't be impossible.
Of course, it was also possible that everyone would be annihilated.
Chen Mo was very confident in his observation skills. He knew that there might be some special meaning behind this puzzle. Unless he knew the secret behind the puzzle, it was impossible to complete the puzzle.
However, Chen Mo didn't give up so easily. He still tried his best to speculate and piece the puzzle pieces together in various ways.
However, after half an hour, Chen Mo still had no clue. He knew that unless he could find the key to completing the puzzle, he wouldn't be able to complete the puzzle in a day.
Chen Mo thought for a while, then called Ceci Hailow out and let her play the puzzle by herself.
He hadn't given up yet. Perhaps he would be able to find the answer with a flash of inspiration. Ceci Hailow only knew how to play the puzzle. She might be able to give him a flash of inspiration.
The City of Sin was much bigger than Chen Mo had imagined. Other than Chen Mo, there were many other black-named players playing the same puzzle as Chen Mo in huge rooms in the City of Sin.
These black-named players had different skin colors and hair. There were black, wheat-colored, white, gold, blue, red, silver, and so on.
The black-named players in the City of Sin didn't just come from the Huaxia region. They came from all over the world and from different regions of the game!
Every country had their own independent server, but the City of Sin connected all the countries' servers together.
In another huge circular hall in the City of Sin, people sat around the hall. In the middle of the hall, there were more than a hundred magic screens. Each screen had a serial number, and each serial number displayed a different image. They were all images of the black-named players playing the puzzle.
However, there weren't many people staring at the magic screens. Most of them were whispering to each other, and Dounis was among them.
"Ogyust, why did the Elders Guild bring out these puzzles this time?
I remember that the Elders Guild was very interested in these Demon Eye puzzles ten years ago. They wanted to know what they were used for. Every time the prisoners competed, they would let the prisoners play with them. But after a few years, they still didn't find anything. "
Dounis was talking to a young silver-haired man in the hall.
This silver-haired man was similar to Dounis. He was gentle and elegant. When he heard Dounis' words, he smiled. "These adventurers have unlimited possibilities. The Elders Guild wants to try it on them, right?
Even if they fail, the Elders Guild won't suffer any losses. But if they succeed, they might be able to solve the mystery of the Demon Eye. "
Dounis nodded. That was the case.
These adventurers came from different worlds. They had different thoughts, experiences, and understandings. Perhaps someone could really solve the mystery of the Demon Eye.
Eleven years ago, the Elders of the City of Sin discovered an ancient ruin. The entrance to the ruin was a huge jigsaw puzzle.
This puzzle was made up of countless pieces of eyeballs. However, no matter how hard the Elders Guild of the City of Sin tried, they couldn't piece together the correct picture to open the door to the ruin.
Left with no choice, they could only use magic to copy the picture of the puzzle and bring it back to see if anyone could solve the mystery.
But after more than ten years, the City of Sin still didn't make any progress on the puzzle. Because the puzzle was made up of the same eyeballs, it was named the "Mystery of the Demon Eye".
"Dounis, the adventurer you brought seems to have given up."
Ogyust looked at the magic screen number 78 and smiled at Dounis.
On the magic screen number 78 was Chen Mo and Ceci Hailow. Chen Mo sat on the ground and played with the puzzle pieces casually. Ceci Hailow, on the other hand, was putting the puzzle pieces together like a wooden board.
"Since it's a dispensable part, it's better to give up early to avoid wasting energy. Saving energy for a better ranking is what he should be doing."
Dounis didn't mind that Chen Mo had given up early.
"Looks like you have a lot of confidence in the adventurer you brought?
Haha, Dounis, when the competition starts tomorrow, you'd better pray that your adventurer doesn't meet the person I brought! "Ogyust chuckled.
Dounis frowned as he looked at the magic screen number 65. The person on the screen was also a hunter. However, he couldn't tell what was so great about this hunter.
But he knew Ogyust. If Ogyust dared to say that, it meant that this hunter was definitely great.
"Just wait and see. The person I brought will definitely not lose to you!"
But Dounis naturally wouldn't admit defeat so easily.
He didn't know about the hunter that Ogyust brought, but the person he brought had caused him a lot of trouble. He definitely wouldn't be eliminated so easily!
Inside the room.
Half an hour had passed. Chen Mo had almost given up.
It was almost impossible to get that miraculous inspiration. He simply lay on the ground and watched Ceci Hailow play by herself.
Chen Mo didn't know until he looked. Only then did he realize that Ceci Hailow's IQ had increased significantly after reaching Level 35.
She was really putting together a puzzle and not just randomly putting it together!
Chen Mo had always thought that she was putting the puzzle pieces together randomly because she didn't put them together piece by piece. Instead, they were placed in a mess and didn't connect at all. At first glance, she didn't look like a puzzle at all. She was completely messing around.
But Chen Mo looked at the focused Ceci Hailow and knew that Ceci Hailow was putting together a puzzle.
Could it be that Ceci Hailow knew the secret of this puzzle?
Chen Mo couldn't help but think.
With that thought, Chen Mo didn't want to mess around. He just watched Ceci Hailow quietly.
Three hours later.
Ceci Hailow put together a mess. Chen Mo observed for a while. It wasn't a picture at all, nor were there any regular words. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was a mess.
It seemed that he had guessed wrongly. The people in the City of Sin were probably all puzzle pieces that couldn't be completed. How did Ceci Hailow know?
But at this moment, Chen Mo saw that when Ceci Hailow placed a piece of the puzzle on the ground, the piece of the puzzle suddenly emitted a pitch-black light and instantly shot onto Ceci Hailow's forehead.
The light flashed and disappeared. Chen Mo almost suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
But he was shocked to see that this black light formed a strange black eyeball on Ceci Hailow's head.
But before he could take a closer look, Ceci Hailow was forced back into his Pet Bar.
…
The first one was even worse.
