"If they keep occupying the duel room, then we won't be able to clear our cards and will all become participants with 0 points. What should we do?" Ooka Hongye hugged Mingyue's arms tighter.

The man in the red fox mask wrinkled his nose. He smelled a hint of blood, not strong, but impossible for him to ignore.

Lei walked forward with a cold face. Bourbon was even faster. He walked quickly to the door and stretched out his hand to push it open, but was stopped by the tall parrot girl.

"Sorry, there's a fight going on inside, and you're not allowed to watch."

"What if I insist on going in?" Bourbon and the parrot girl looked at each other, and their eyes met in the air, sparking sparks of tension and vigilance.

Ooka Hongye felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she huddled beside Mingyue in fear.

Lei stepped forward and stood beside the wave, protecting the two bunny ladies behind him. "The rules don't say you are not allowed to watch."

The tall parrot girl smiled contemptuously and looked at the black wolf, "Do you want to break in by force?"

Three Bottles of Whiskey suddenly felt that there was something fishy going on, but if they could not enter the duel room, no matter how perfect their previous plan was, as long as the opponent did not give up the room, the six of them who could not clear their cards would enter the loser's revival match, which was the situation they least wanted to encounter.

But how can they break the impasse at this time?

What would happen if force was used?

The smell of blood lingering in my nose, and the gazes of the gamblers around me watching a show, could something have happened here before?

The anxiety was like an invisible spider thread wrapped around the four men, making them afraid to act rashly.

"What? You're not going to break in anymore?" The parrot girl raised her chin slightly and said with contempt, "You are such cowards."

In the crowd in the distance, a few people who were curious about the situation started to make a noise and said, "Go ahead!"

"Fight! If you're a man, don't be a coward!"

"Hit her!"

Scotland glanced over coldly, and those people who were making a fuss fell silent instantly.

Bourbon thought back to what the brown bear had done before, and wondered what the consequences would be if he kicked the door open directly. Would the burly men wearing blank masks around him just sit back and do nothing like the host?

The red fox masked man took the two bunny girls into his protective circle, looked around, and took in everyone's expressions. He was overwhelmed with thoughts and couldn't calm down. ??

The parrot girl looked at the reactions of the men in front of her and sneered contemptuously.

Lei clenched his hands into fists, and his muscles were tense.

Bourbon looked at the closed door, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and whispered to Lei beside him, "Take the rabbit and stand away."

Lei glanced at Bourbon, then looked at Scotland, exchanged glances with the man in the red fox mask, put a hand on Mingyue's shoulder, and prepared to leave.

Mingyue looked calm and wanted to pull Lei's hand off her shoulder. However, she gave up because Ooka Hongye was holding her other arm tightly, making it difficult for her to move.

The man with the red fox mask protected Ooka Momiji away from the door and felt that the attention on him decreased a lot. The burly men around him wearing blank masks kept their eyes on the door of the duel room, and there were dark red marks on their sleeves.

Is it blood? The red fox masked man was unsure, and his eyes swept over the crowd of onlookers. Some of them looked indifferent, while others were extremely excited. So did someone die? Was the body thrown into the sea to feed the fish? Thinking of this, the red fox masked man's breathing seemed to become heavier.

Bourbon saw Mingyue and the others leave, and looked at the parrot girl who was blocking the door with a smile. He unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves so that he could show his strength.

"Are you ready for fighting?" The parrot girl tilted her head slightly, glanced at the gray rabbit in the distance, then retracted her gaze and looked at the Siamese cat in front of her, ready to fight back.

Scotland observed the burly men wearing blank masks around him, pursed his lips, and quickly exchanged glances with Bourbon: You can't attack people.

Bourbon blinked quickly: Don't attack people, just kick the door.

The tall parrot girl stared at the wolf and the cat in front of her, fully alert.

The two sides confronted each other, and it seemed that a war was about to break out.

"You seem to have formed a small group of five. Who will have the card that cannot be removed?" Bourbon raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Is it the invisible young lady? I think she should withdraw from the competition as soon as possible, so that she won't be accused of bullying us normal people."

The smile on the parrot girl's face gradually faded, her teeth clattered, and she uttered an angry word, "You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands."

"Really?" Bourbon pretended to throw a punch, but actually kicked the door behind the parrot girl.

However, the Siamese cat's feint was seen through by the parrot girl. She moved her position, ready to take the kick, confirming that the Siamese cat was going to use violence, and used the rules to get rid of the Siamese cat that was in the way.

The moment the parrot girl moved, the strong men wearing blank masks also moved. Their target was the Siamese cat.

Scotland felt something was wrong, and Bourbon also noticed the changes around him and instantly retracted his strength. However, due to the close distance, his foot was about to kick the parrot girl's forearm.

The parrot girl gave a cruel smile, looking as if she was sure of victory.

Bourbon was horrified and was sure that the parrot girl's previous anger was all pretended.

Scotland's heart was pounding, he grabbed Bourbon's arm and quickly stepped back.

Bourbon was pulled by Scotland and lost his balance, almost falling to the ground, but his kicking toes did not touch the parrot girl at all.

The burly men wearing blank masks stopped in their tracks.

In an instant, Lei and the man in the red fox mask who were watching from a distance understood everything.

Scotland supported Bourbon, and Bourbon stood up again, staring at the parrot girl in front of him, his heart beating violently in his chest.

"What a pity! I thought you were going to kick me." The parrot girl looked regretful.

"How many people did you kill using the rules?" Scotland looked around. The burly men who had rushed over returned to their original positions. "There should be more than one person's blood on the ground."

"Heh," the parrot girl chuckled, "You have good observation skills. What a pity! I thought I could eliminate a competitor for the young lady."

Now everyone understands what is meant by the prohibition of the use of force.

Direct attacks, as long as they touch a person, will be considered as the use of force, and the burly men wearing blank masks around will take action. If they are just using force to intimidate, or secretly compete, this will not violate the rule prohibiting the use of force.

But knowing the rules was useless, they still couldn't enter the duel room.

A woman and a thin door are about to push them into an unknown and terrifying abyss.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the cruise ship's broadcasting voice sounded again: "Participants with letter name tags, please note that there is only one hour left before the end of the second round of eliminations."

Ooka Hongye hugged Mingyue's arm tightly, "What should we do? We can't remove the cards."

Mingyue patted the back of Ooka Hongye's hand and smiled, "Don't worry, we will remove the cards."

"really?"

Lei and the man in the red fox mask looked at Mingyue at the same time, and Mingyue showed a confident smile on her face, as if everything was under control.
