Chapter 514 Where are the people?

The crowd around them also began to stir, everyone was whispering about why the other contestant hadn't arrived yet, and the atmosphere gradually became a little tense. Beidou knew that if this problem was not solved, this originally highly anticipated game might end in failure, which she didn't want to see anyway.

"But where did that person go? Why is he still missing now? This matter is really too strange."

Paimon was spinning anxiously in the air, her face full of confusion and puzzlement. The sunlight shone on her, reflecting the colorful light, but it could not dispel the haze that filled everyone's hearts at the moment.

The much-anticipated final of the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin. The arena is crowded with people, and the audience is looking forward to this peak showdown. However, another contestant seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth and has not appeared yet, which makes everyone confused.

"Really? What on earth is he doing? The finals aren't like the previous matches where a player can be directly judged as a forfeit..." Beidou frowned, the anxiety on his face becoming more and more obvious.

She has devoted countless efforts and energy to the meticulous preparation of this martial arts competition. From the layout of the venue to the selection of contestants, from publicity and promotion to the preparation of prizes, she personally took care of every link and strived to achieve perfection.

The finals were the highlight of this martial arts competition. She had hoped to bring everyone a wonderful and unforgettable duel, but now this sudden situation caught her off guard. Fine beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks, but she was unaware of it. She just kept rubbing her hands, trying to relieve her inner anxiety.

At this point, Beidou could only look at the crowd again, his tone full of apology. "Sorry, sorry, please wait a little longer!" The voice spread out and reached every audience member's ears clearly.

There was a small commotion in the crowd, everyone was talking in low voices, guessing what had happened. Some said that maybe the contestant was injured, some said that maybe there was some unexpected situation, there were all kinds of speculations, but no one could determine the real reason.

After saying that, he took Kong back again. Lin Feng and Paimeng faced this scene. One was helpless, and the other was confused. Paimeng didn't think much about it, but simply wondered why the man hadn't arrived yet.

In her simple mind, the competition should be conducted according to the established time and rules, and the players should appear on time and perform their duties. Now this situation is really not in line with common sense, which makes her feel very puzzled.

Lin Feng successfully remembered that the man did not participate in the competition in the end, but directly chose to steal the Eye of God. He must have succeeded by now.

He thought to himself, that makes sense, who with any brains would have nothing better to do than fight with Sora? Just thinking about Sora's adventures in various places, those stories of defeating powerful enemies and resolving crises, most people would be scared upon hearing about them.

After returning, Kong stared at Beidou with a hint of teasing in his eyes, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and asked doubtfully. "Could it be that he remembered the time wrong? Or is it because my reputation is too prominent that he dares not show up?" Kong's adventures in various places have indeed made him famous. Maybe he will really be timid because of this and dare not face him head-on in the arena.

Beidou frowned and said firmly, "I don't believe that you remembered the time wrong. After all, we have confirmed it repeatedly. Before the game, we not only informed the players of the time, location and rules of the game many times, but also arranged personnel to remind them. As for not daring to show up... that's even more impossible. If they were really afraid of you, they wouldn't have signed up to participate in the first place."

Beidou was very confident in his arrangement. He had done a very detailed job in notification and confirmation before the game, so it was impossible for him to make a mistake in remembering the time. Moreover, those who dared to sign up for this game must have a certain amount of courage and strength, and would not back down at the last minute just because of the reputation of their opponent.

"Maybe something unexpected happened, or he was delayed by other things." Kong speculated after listening to Beidou's words. Since the first two are impossible, the only possibility is the latter.

Kong's mind has always been quick, and he can always calmly analyze and speculate when faced with various unknown situations. Combining past experiences and considering various possible factors, he felt that the possibility of an accidental delay was high.

Beidou sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "Anyway, now we can only wait. I hope he will show up soon."

After saying that, she looked at the sun in the sky again. As time passed, the scorching sun seemed to be burning her heart.

She was getting more and more annoyed. This fight would be a great opportunity to show the strength and style of the fleet. If the competition could not go smoothly, it would have a negative impact on the image of the fleet.

At this moment, Paimon suddenly remembered something. "By the way, should we ask other people if they have seen him? Maybe someone knows where he is."

Paimon's eyes sparkled, and she felt that she had come up with a good idea. She naively thought that if she asked more people around her, she might be able to find some clues and solve the mystery of the missing contestants.

After hearing what Paimon said, Beidou frowned, a serious look appeared on her face, and she fell into deep thought. After a moment, she slowly spoke.

"This is definitely not feasible, because the contestants this time are not familiar with each other, and some may have never met each other. Everyone comes from different places, has different backgrounds and purposes, and they are only gathered together for this martial arts competition. In addition, there are many people on the scene and the situation is complicated, making it difficult to conduct an effective investigation. No matter what happens in the end, if he cannot arrive on time, this duel can only be postponed..."

At this moment, she thought to herself that if Kong was directly judged as the winner, then all her previous efforts would be wasted.

The carefully created tense atmosphere and the many spectators who were looking forward to this final duel would be greatly disappointed. She seemed to have seen the disappointed expressions of the spectators and heard their complaints, which made her feel extremely frustrated and lost.

Fengyuan Manye never joined in the conversation, but just stood aside quietly, with a look of deep thought in his eyes. His gaze sometimes looked into the distance, sometimes fell on the surrounding environment, as if he was thinking about something.

His hair fluttering in the wind sparkled with golden light under the sunlight, as if blending into the surrounding nature.
