Chapter 63 Team Competition (Reality)
When everyone was confused about the whereabouts of the two, Qi Heng and Lin Muyu finally took a shortcut and fell from the tree.
Two sounds of things landing on the ground were heard one after another, attracting everyone's attention. When I turned around, I saw two people who were brushing off the dust on their bodies.
"Captain, have you finally been infected?" Ye Yunhe couldn't help but complain as he looked at the branches that were still shaking after being stepped on for leverage.
Si and An had already taken out their headsets and distributed them to each other. When he saw the two of them land, he immediately stepped forward and handed over the rest: "We thought something happened to you two. Xiao Heng, can you take me up there for a stroll some other day?"
"Easy." Qi Heng quickly put on the black headset and replied casually, "It's OK now."
"It's indeed possible right now. You two are the most suitable candidates." Qin You ended the communication with his teammates in the distance, walked over quickly and said, "Kalint and Linfeng are far away, but they also heard a lot of noise. The good news is that they finally found the teleportation talisman, the bad news is that they need to snatch it."
"The success rate is not low. I can go directly to support you two when the time comes."
That's right. The safe nest needs to be guarded and the vicinity also needs to be kept an eye on. Si Yu'an and Qi Heng are the only two people on the field who can rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible. Oh, and there’s Lin Muyu’s eye monitor.
"We happened to be at a high altitude, and the thick smoke can be likened to a small mushroom cloud." Lin Muyu picked up the monitor that had been placed earlier, stuck it on Si and An's small bag, and explained the scene to others.
"It's hard to imagine how this was done. As far as I know, the spells and supernatural items set up in the illusion cannot reach this level."
Hearing this, Fu Ling on the side became thoughtful and subconsciously thought of someone. Thinking about that person's temperament, he felt that he would not do such a thing, so he gave up the idea.
Everyone had something to do in an instant, and the peaceful atmosphere not long ago was broken, like an illusion.
And the huge explosion in the distance that caused a commotion among the contestants had already revealed its cause to the top management who were observing all the time.
——
"Hiss, this is really incredible. Three special ability teams were directly eliminated." One person looked at the number of people eliminated on the ranking list and couldn't help but click his tongue. "Even the surrounding areas were affected. This is really a disaster sent from the sky."
The white smoke on the display screen was still raging. The power of hundreds of blasting talismans plus a series of bombs was truly extraordinary.
Some people who knew the situation felt a lump in their throat. They secretly glanced at the people sitting in their seats who were resting with their eyes closed. Some of them wanted to wake them up physically and ask: Was this within your expectations?
“Accidents always come unexpectedly.” As if he could hear the thoughts of everyone present, Bai Zhou yawned, stood up, and casually looked at the various pictures on the display.
Some people were still huddled in dark corners without making any movement, while others were running towards the explosion point from different directions, either to gather intelligence or to give it a try. Whatever the purpose, the scene that follows is sure to be spectacular.
At this moment, many eliminated contestants suddenly woke up in the contestant room, looking at each other in confusion, with the badges on their chests flashing.
Under the gaze of everyone in the room, Bai Zhou left his seat, waved his hand and said naturally: "However, I am very interested in the feelings of the eliminated contestants at the moment, so I will not watch the game, but go to interview them."
"Everyone, you'll be back soon."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out in one go. The wind he brought with him seemed to blow on other people's faces from through the air.
Someone deliberately cleared his throat and stole a glance at the expressions of the senior management, but was incredibly surprised to find that they felt nothing at all and were even relieved to see the young man's behavior.
“…”
Who was the last person who immediately had a gloomy face when seeing disrespectful behavior?
According to the rules, eliminated contestants can move freely in a special room with food, drinks and beds available for use until the competition is confirmed to be over, at which time they can leave.
It wasn't long after the explosion, and it takes a certain amount of reaction time to return from the illusion, so those unlucky guys are probably still sitting in their chairs in a daze. Now is the most appropriate time to interview them.
Bai Zhou made eye contact with the referee inside through the window, smiled and knocked on the door gently.
"In the original plot, there was no such accident." He thought to himself, "Halfway through the game, all the players who were eliminated were those with superpowers or those whose strength did not meet the standards, but this explosion eliminated several superpowers from high-level guilds."
Why would a cult that specializes in capturing powerful people with superpowers deliberately throw away the watermelons to pick up sesame seeds?
"Xiao Guang, please report the situation at that time to me." Knocking on the light ball in his mind, Bai Zhou quickly obtained a reliable high-definition picture, pausing on the interesting scene one second before the explosion.
The various expressions of the people present above are quite intriguing.
"Mr. Bai Zhou, is there anything important?" The referee stood up from his chair, stepped up the steps and opened the door and asked.
“Some ideas need to be proven.”
Bai Zhou turned sideways to block the exit, then gently closed the door with his backhand. He glanced at the scene in the room, turned his head and asked with a smile: "Have you put away the badge?"
The referee shook his head: "Not yet, just about to collect it."
"Excuse me." The young man nodded when he heard that, and then said softly as if he was hinting at something, "By the way, I'm not just here to confirm. Just now, when I passed by an employee, I heard them say that there was a problem with room 402. I wanted to ask which psychic would be assigned there?"
"...I see." The referee narrowed his eyes. "It is our responsibility to provide a good environment for each contestant. Since you said so, I must go and check it out myself."
"As for the allocation, it is divided according to the table. According to the current situation, it should be this team."
As she spoke, she handed the form in her hand over to the other person, allowing him to look at it with his eyes lowered.
Taking out the signature pen pinned on top, Bai Zhou pondered for a moment, circled a few names on the paper, and handed it back: "Although these players have not joined the guild, their potential should not be underestimated. They are talented people with great potential."
"Since your government is in urgent need of talents, why not start here?"
"Thank you. We will consider it." The referee took back the form and put it in his inner pocket for safekeeping. "Then you can go in and verify it. But before that, a replacement referee needs to be in place to ensure the safety of the competition."
"Yeah, of course."
It's naturally not a bad idea to do it during the day, she agreed with a smile on her face. Under the surprised gaze of the lady in the suit, he raised his hand and tilted his head to introduce himself, and said calmly:
"Or rather, the substitute referee is already in place?"
Almost as soon as the words fell, a familiar voice sounded, with a hint of helplessness:
"Really? You've got it right again."
At the rear corner, the officer stepped out, stood forward under the referee's understanding gaze, spread his hands and smiled.
"It's me. Just do your job, respected referee. I swear on our five years of friendship that there will be no problems~"
"Slippery tongue." Looking at the two smiling young men in front of her, the lady in the suit held her forehead in her hand speechlessly, "Okay, okay, then I'll go do my thing, and you two just behave yourself."
After saying that, he couldn't help but shook his head, and warned the two of them once again before turning and leaving.
Bai Zhou and his superior stood there and watched quietly until the person disappeared from view, then they looked at each other silently.
"I really have foresight. If our people hadn't been specially placed in the referee position, how could it have been handled so easily?" The officer snorted and boasted.
Bai Zhou did not comment, but turned sideways and opened the door.
As soon as he opened it, he came face to face with the contestants blocking the door, and the three of them looked at each other in surprise.
"Hello? You're just leaving like this without even giving me any explanation?!" An angry voice came from inside and stopped abruptly as the door opened. The Psychics were all surprised with anger on their faces.
The man at the door snapped his fingers. He seemed to be the source of the public anger. He raised his head from where he had bowed tightly and carefully glanced at the two people who were blocking the exit in front of him. His bangs are very long, almost covering half of his face. Combined with his temperament, he is the type that people would avoid when he walks by.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Bai Zhou and the other man still didn't say a word, the man pursed his lips nervously and asked tentatively: "Uh, can you give way? I just got eliminated and I'm a little tired..."
"I know you." Bai Zhou seemed to be waiting for him to speak, and he immediately took over the conversation. The young man smiled gently and looked very polite. "You eliminated so many people by yourself. You have great potential. I admire you very much."
These words obviously made the person on the other side panic. I don't know whether he was flattered or simply scared.
The confused contestants inside couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock and became even more angry when they heard this.
It would have been fine if he had been cheated to death by this person who suddenly turned against him, but in the end the other party was favored by the government? How ridiculous! If I had known this would happen, I would never have agreed to let him join the team!
Some people rolled up their sleeves, ready to teach a lesson to the man who got up and left without any explanation.
"That wasn't my intention..." The man was startled by the several resentful lasers shot from behind as if to eat him alive. He shook his head hurriedly with such force that he almost peeled the skin off his hands.
"Of course, the situation was very complicated. I was controlled by others to copy so many talismans. If it was really my own plan, how could I have been killed in the explosion?"
"oh?"
The officer stroked his chin and hissed softly.
"Is that so? I was thinking you wanted to get some points at the end so that both sides would lose."
Bai Zhou also suddenly realized what was going on. After a moment, he took a few steps forward, got closer to the man, supported his shoulders with his hands, turned him around, and led him to the chair in a friendly manner.
The man thought he could leave and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he was caught off guard by a series of movements and was forced to stay in his seat.
He tried to get up, but the thin-looking young man opposite him was incredibly strong. He was not shaken at all, and it seemed as if he approved of the other party's action.
"You misunderstood." Bai Zhou's smile widened, with a hint of disregard for others' lives. "What I meant was that you were able to copy so many blasting talismans in one go, which makes you one of the most promising of the new generation."
The originally graceful and polite posture had turned into a murderous Shura in the man's eyes. He was groaning in his heart and wished he could explode with this man on the spot. His already restless heart became even more agitated.
But the disadvantage is that you will be pressed to the ground in the next moment and have close contact with the tiles.
“…”
In order to prevent his bangs from covering up his hideous face, the man had to lower his head even lower and fell into a persistent silence.
Seeing that he had lost his resistance, Bai Zhou happily withdrew his hand and looked around. Those who were still in the illusion were sleeping quietly, while those who were awake were looking over here with their heads tilted up like sunflowers. At first glance, I thought I had become a magnet.
Guangqiu was puzzled by this idea, but he honestly drew a simple line draft of the picture with his hands.
The young man clapped his hands, interrupting the gazes of these people: "Don't worry, everyone. I am not here for any serious matter. I am just doing a small interview on a whim. I will not restrict your actions. You can stay or leave as you like."
"Interview?" someone asked in confusion, and then retracted his resentment. "Why haven't I heard of it before? Is it a new part?"
"Yes." Bai Zhou said with certainty, and the officer who was already sitting in the referee's seat also agreed.
"After all, it's a new year, so we have to do something different to make it more interesting, right? If you are interested, you can also participate."
As he spoke, he took out the pen he had taken from the lady in the suit, and took a piece of tissue from the table as a blank paper. In the eyes of the crowd who looked at him with distrust, he waved his hand without changing his expression:
"Why are you looking at me like that? Who said you can't use tissues as paper during an interview? Time waits for no one. I'm going to ask you directly."
All right.
The eliminated candidates who were sitting down looked at each other with some curiosity. Some of those who were planning to leave also sat down silently, and they all decided to participate in this seemingly informal interview activity.
The officer sighed silently. In just a few minutes, the rhythm in the room had been mastered and controlled by one person, who played with it at will.
The door was closed. Bai Zhou was leaning lazily against the wall with a smile in his eyes. He was turning the pen slowly while waiting. His light eyes passed over the candidates and finally stopped on the man.
It was clearly an illusory weight, but it caused a chill when it fell on people.
"Well, let the interview begin."
The young man held the pen upright and compared it to "1".
