Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Captain Dragonfly's Super Punishment!"

Captain Dragonfly raised his hands to the sky, and countless lightning dragonflies flew out from the "eye of the typhoon," chasing after the ringworm black fist and tearing at it relentlessly, just like a swarm of dragonflies hunting insects.

The ringworm black fist was unable to land because it was being lifted up by the lightning dragonfly, and was quickly turned to ash by electricity.

"Ha ha!"

Captain Dragonfly took a couple of breaths and then raised his hands again.

This time, its target is Garcia.

Garcia raised his finger, trembling as he tried to draw the fourth semicircle, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

The reason he was able to escape the annihilation of his clan was because he was afraid of death.

The reason he survived the siege by the city hall was because he was not devout enough.

Seeing the thunder reappear in the dark clouds, Garcia's clever mind quickly went into overdrive.

"Wait a minute, what gives you the right to punish me?"

He suddenly asked loudly.

"Because you violated the rules by attacking the referee."

"Captain Dragonfly said seriously."

"I'm not even a participant, how am I breaking the rules?"

"Then you attacked me first, and I was acting in self-defense."

Captain Dragonfly paused before speaking.

"If a contestant doesn't break the rules, you can't attack them, right?"

Garcia asked again.

"Yes."

Captain Dragonfly nodded.

"Now that I'm requesting to participate, my status becomes that of a participant. And since I attacked you before I became a participant, it can't be considered that I violated the rules."

"So, you can't attack me now."

Garcia said confidently.

"Um"

Captain Dragonfly fell into deep thought.

"I demand to compete against that human."

Garcia seized the opportunity to build the railway.

What do you want to compete in?

"Captain Dragonfly asked."

"I want to compete with him in occult knowledge."

Garcia replied without hesitation.

As members of the Three-Eyed Clan, whose bloodline is imbued with forbidden knowledge, their expertise in mysticism is sufficient to qualify them for the position of full professor at the First Municipal University.

"I disagree."

Liu Zheng quickly poked his head out of the tank.

"You asked to compete against me, so why should you get to choose what to compete against?"

"So it was you who summoned this referee first."

Garcia retorted sarcastically.

"Okay, stop arguing."

Captain Dragonfly stopped their argument.

"When the participants cannot agree on the competition items, I will decide the content of the competition."

It removed its eye makeup and threw it into the air.

"Captain Dragonfly's scrolling text!"

The two eye ornaments spun rapidly, transforming into a colorful marquee that crashed heavily to the ground.

"The scrolling text is at twenty times speed."

Captain Dragonfly grabbed the edge of the scrolling lantern and pulled hard, and the lantern immediately began to spin at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

Then, it performed several backflips in succession, jumping all the way to the edge of the barrier.

Upon seeing this, Garcia's heart stirred, but after considering it, he abandoned the idea of ​​taking action.

"whispering sound."

Seeing that he hadn't fallen for it, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of both Captain Dragonfly and Liu Zheng.

"Captain Dragonfly's Darts!"

Captain Dragonfly tore off a small piece of armor, shook it, and it turned into a dart.

It threw it with its backhand, and the dart flew straight toward the scrolling light, then hit a certain area.

"stop!"

Captain Dragonfly shouted, and the scrolling light stopped immediately.

All eyes turned to the scrolling text, where two large characters were clearly written on the area where the dart had struck.

"Treasure Appraisal".

"This judge hereby declares that the event for this competition is 'Treasure Appraisal'!"

As soon as Captain Dragonfly finished speaking, a smile spread across Garcia's face beneath his stern expression.

His official identity was that of an appraiser, not to mention that he had inherited the knowledge passed down through generations of the Three-Eyed Clan. He couldn't imagine how he could lose to a food deliveryman in an appraisal contest.

"The rules of the competition will now be announced."

"First, the use of any supernatural abilities is not permitted."

"Second, the use of any supernatural items is not allowed."

"Third, it is not allowed to ask others for help."

Fourth, participants must not interfere with other participants.

"The competition schedule will now be announced."

After explaining the rules for a full five minutes, Captain Dragonfly finally moved on to the next segment.

"This competition will be conducted in a round-robin format. Each person will take turns bringing out an extraordinary item and handing it to the other person for appraisal. Whoever fails to appraise it first will be the winner."

"The order will be decided by me flipping a coin."

"I've finished explaining. Do you have any questions?"

it asked.

"I have a question."

Liu Zheng was the first to raise his tentacles.

"please say."

"He's a descendant of that Three-Eyed Clan, and his bloodline contains forbidden knowledge. Is this within the scope of prohibitions?"

he asked.

"Knowledge inherited through bloodlines is not considered a supernatural ability, so it is not prohibited."

Captain Dragonfly gave him a helpless look.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng pouted in disappointment.

"I have a problem too."

Garcia also raised his hand.

"explain."

Captain Dragonfly's tone towards him wasn't so friendly.

How do you know whether our test results are correct or incorrect?

Garcia didn't take its attitude seriously.

"My intuition as a referee robot tells me this."

Captain Dragonfly replied.

"So, the second question is, you and this human are obviously acquainted, how can I guarantee that you won't favor him during the match?"

Garcia asked again.

"I guarantee this with the integrity of a referee robot."

"Captain Dragonfly said loudly."

"Then I have no problem."

Faced with such a vague answer, Garcia surprisingly chose to agree.

"Alright, let the competition begin."

Captain Dragonfly waved, and the scrolling lantern transformed into a referee's staff, falling into its hand.

Then it tore off a piece of armor, which turned into a shiny coin.

"Human-head face, deliveryman first. Referee's stick face, three-eyed tribe first."

After Captain Dragonfly finished speaking, he tossed the coin into the air.

The coin spun around and landed on the ground, bouncing a few times before finally coming to a stop.

"The 'human head noodle' contestant will start with the delivery driver."

Captain Dragonfly pointed the microphone at Liu Zheng.

Can you give me a moment to think about it?

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, each contestant has three minutes to choose and ten minutes to evaluate."

"Captain Dragonfly said."

"The identification process is taking too long. Can you shorten it a bit?"

He spoke up on his own initiative.

"Okay, then let's shorten it to five minutes."

Captain Dragonfly readily agreed.

"I protest!"

Garcia quit.

"Protests are futile."

Captain Dragonfly rejected it outright.

The reduction in the identification time applies to both parties and does not constitute favoritism.

As for delivery time and such, those are external factors and do not affect the fairness of the competition.

"Humph."

Garcia snorted, but there was nothing he could do.

"Stunned now, aren't you?"

Liu Zheng said smugly.
