As the cabin door gradually closed, Gu Xingmian felt as if he had come to another world.

This was a pure white space, but soon, the scene around him changed.

Gu Xingmian felt as if his body was sinking rapidly. He followed Wright's instructions and relaxed his body. When the sinking was over, Gu Xingmian opened his eyes and found himself on a street full of ruins.

He knew that this was a simulated scene in the cabin, but it was very real, not only visually and tactilely, he could even smell the dust and rust in the air.

Gu Xingmian secretly marveled at the high technology of the continent of Saint Robert.

In fact, when he first came here, he knew that the era he was in had gods and a world of card drawing, so he thought that the technology in this high-magic world should be very backward. But after living here for a while, he found out that he was wrong.

In some ways, this place is even more convenient than his original world.

Just when Gu Xingmian was about to squat down and study it carefully, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head and saw a group of zombie-like people chasing him from behind.

"!!!"

Gu Xingmian was immediately scared to death.

From childhood to adulthood, he was most afraid of zombies, especially these zombies with blood on their faces, which were to the extent that he would faint if he looked at them for one more time.

Gu Xingmian almost burst out running forward at his fastest speed.

His mind was blank, and he completely forgot that he was in a simulation cabin. Everything here was fake. He just ran forward vigorously.

On the way of escape, something seemed to appear in front of his eyes, but he didn't care until he found that he had run out of the ruins and returned to the pure white space.

Gu Xingmian realized that his hands and feet were weak and his whole body was covered with sweat, as if he was pulled out of the water.

He sat on the ground in shock, and then he realized the choice of different events mentioned by Wright, but he couldn't remember what he had just done.

But it was not his fault, mainly because the zombies were too scary.

Gu Xingmian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hoping that the next event would be more normal and there would not be such terrible things again.

Perhaps the gods heard his prayers, and he found himself in a bright study.

Gu Xingmian breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly made up his mind to think carefully about the next tacit understanding test and never let Xiao Qiong sweep the floor with dignity.

On the other side, Xiao Qiong, facing such a group of humans infected by evil spirits, was not only not afraid, but went straight to meet them.

Humans infected by evil spirits are called "corpse puppets". They are completely irrational, not afraid of pain or death, their bodies are as hard as stones, and they are extremely powerful and difficult to deal with.

However, when they fell into Xiao Qiong's hands, he chopped them up like melons and vegetables, beating them one by one, beating up pairs of them, until all the corpses were knocked down and piled up on the ground into a small hill, and then he walked towards the exit with a sense of unsatisfaction.

After only taking a few steps, his body suddenly froze and he said inwardly, "Oh no. "

He was just enjoying the fight and completely forgot that this was a tacit understanding test, that is, if Gu Xingmian encountered the same thing as him, what would he do? He

should either faint or run away.

What a mistake!

Xiao Qiong hammered his palm in frustration and decided that the next time he encountered such a situation, he must restrain his desire to fight and turn around and run!

Then, he found himself in a bright study.

On the table in front of him, there were three bottles of nutritional solution with different flavors.

Xiao Qiong: “???”

Wasn’t this supposed to test their tacit understanding in battle? What the hell is this? !

And why does nutritional solution need flavors? !

But he still had to choose.

Xiao Qiong had no idea about the flavors of nutritional solution. He only looked at two parameters when buying nutritional solution - energy and price.

But Gu Xingmian seemed to care a lot about his appetite. He knew all kinds of delicacies like the back of his hand and wanted to try everything.

If it were him, which flavor would he choose?

Xiao Qiong stared at the three labels in front of him, which were brownie syrup butter cake flavor, lemon sea salt flavor, and basic flavor.

Gu Xingmian seemed to like sweet food.

Xiao Qiong hesitated for a moment, then chose the brownie syrup butter cake flavor.

Hmm! This name is the longest, and it also has the word "sugar" in it, so it's the right choice!

At the same time, Gu Xingmian was also complaining about the three bottles of nutrient solution in front of him.

"This kind of technology and hard work, only a battle maniac like Xiao Qiong would drink it! Is it necessary to have so many flavors?!"

Without thinking, he chose the basic nutrient solution that Xiao Qiong drank most often.

...

The two of them quickly completed all the tests.

The door of the simulation cabin opened, and Gu Xingmian sat up a little slowly.

Xiao Qiong slowly helped him up, and the two walked aside to wait for the calculation results of the simulation cabin.

Eric asked curiously, "What are the questions?"

Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian showed strange expressions on their faces at the same time, and then said in unison.

"It's hard to say."

Eric: "...You two are quite in sync."

"But, what does it mean to be hard to say? Does it mean that you can't say it? Or are the questions very difficult?"

Fu Fenglin hurriedly stopped him: "It's useless for them to tell you. I heard that the questions in the simulation cabin are formed by capturing the thoughts in the minds of the participants in an instant, so the questions for each group are different."

Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"You thought of those scary zombies?!"

"What about those nutritional solution flavors and other nonsense... Wait, what zombies? They're called corpse puppets!"

"What! You actually chose the brownie syrup butter cake flavor! Even dogs won't eat that, how could I possibly eat it!"

"Then you shouldn't have chosen the basic nutritional solution!"

"Come on, can you be the only one who drinks the nutrient solution? I don't eat that stuff, so I must choose it according to your standards!"

...

Eric and Fu Fenglin stared blankly at the two people who were arguing.

Hey, hey, hey! We are still testing the tacit understanding! Why did you just start arguing!

However, judging from the content of their argument, the score is not high.

For some reason, the scoring results of the simulation cabin came out very slowly.

When Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong were tired of arguing, the results were still not out.

Wright was already holding the instruction manual and was about to look for the fault.

At this time, the simulation cabin suddenly "dinged" and spit out a piece of paper.

Dai Baiyu, who was close, took it over, but when he saw the score on it, his expression froze, and he was slow to read out the score.

Wright couldn't help but lean over and said, "Why is this score..."

Wright's expression froze.

The students present were so curious that they stretched their necks to see what the score was.

Xiao Qiong felt that his palms seemed a little wet, and he even wanted to rush over to stop Wright from reading out the score.

At this time, Wright finally came to his senses and took a deep breath: "Xiao Qiong, Gu Xingmian, tacit understanding test - zero points."

"!!!"

When the result came out, everyone was shocked.

For a moment, all kinds of strange eyes fell on Xiao Qiong.

"How could someone get zero in the tacit understanding test?!"

"Does this mean that he and the cards have no tacit understanding at all? Can he still be called a card master?!"

"My mother once said that if a person is too good, the gods will take away some of his things... It seems to be true!"

Every word pierced Xiao Qiong's heart.

Although Fu Fenglin and Eric had guessed that the score would not be too high, they were still shocked by the unexpected zero.

Eric couldn't help but mutter: "These two people picked randomly from the street may have a higher tacit understanding score than you two..."

Fortunately, Xiao Qiong himself was still in shock at this moment, otherwise Eric would have been beaten.

Wright handed them the scores with mixed feelings: "It is said that since the simulation cabin was put into use, there seems to be no zero score. In a way, you two have a kind of alternative tacit understanding..."

Gu Xingmian looked at the scores and analysis on the paper in disbelief.

The tacit understanding test is not just to see whether the two people make the same choice, but also to see the degree of cooperation, the way of thinking and behavior patterns of the two people, but unfortunately, none of them are qualified. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are in the south and the north.

Gu Xingmian was very frustrated. This was the first time he had eaten duck eggs since he was a child.

But Xiao Qiong seemed to have suffered a greater blow than him.

Come to think of it, looking at Xiao Qiong's previous battle results, he was simply a man among men, but now...

Gu Xingmian patted Xiao Qiong on the shoulder, hesitated for a long time, and uttered two words: "Cheer up!"

Xiao Qiong: ...

felt even worse.

With the earth-shattering opening of the two of them, the students who took the test afterwards were particularly relaxed.

"It's okay, it can't be lower than zero!"

Xiao Qiong's fists clenched and made a "creaking" sound.

The students immediately restrained the overly relaxed expressions on their faces.

Life experience tells them not to provoke an angry card master, especially an angry card master for this reason!

After all the results came out, the ones with the highest tacit understanding were actually-Eric and Harman.

Eric himself was dumbfounded.

"No...Isn't it right!"

He looked at his score in disbelief, then looked at Harman, then suddenly hugged him and kissed him fiercely: "Hammer baby, I knew it! Even though you are so fierce to me! But you love me!!"

Harman: "!"

After the furious Harman broke free from Eric's arms, he started chasing him around the court.

Other classmates: "..."

This doesn't look like a high level of tacit understanding...

After the test was over, the other students were taken away for training by Dai Baiyu, leaving only Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong.

Wright looked at the two of them, puzzled.

One is the only UR card in St. Robert's mainland, and the other is the strongest and most outstanding student he has ever coached.

No matter how you look at it, they are a strong partner! How come their tacit understanding is zero? !

Wright was so worried that his head almost went bald.

However, his years of teaching experience helped him calm down quickly. He had encountered this kind of low tacit understanding before. After thinking for a moment, he said, "From today on, in addition to the necessary training, Xingmian will try to stay in Xiao Qiong's spiritual body..."

Although Gu Xingmian occasionally jokingly called Xiao Qiong a walking machine and a treatment room, most of the time, he would rather maintain his human form and do what he wants.

But in the current situation, the low tacit understanding between him and Xiao Qiong has a great impact. In order to consider the overall situation, he hesitated for a moment and decided to agree.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qiong directly refused and said, "No need."

Wright was so angry that his eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about! Is now the time to be willful?"

"I'm not willful."

Wright: "The card master and the cards are one. You exist for each other. This is what I repeatedly emphasized in the first class. Have you been in class for so long?!"

Xiao Qiong did not dodge and looked directly at Wright's anger: "No one exists for anyone. I, first of all, am myself."

Wright was almost fainted by him. He knew that Xiao Qiong was unruly, otherwise he would not have almost missed the card drawing day. But he did not expect him to be so stupid!

"You, you, you..." Wright's fingers trembled, and he finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "You go to the reflection room and stay there!"

Xiao Qiong turned around and left calmly.

Gu Xingmian was stunned for a moment before chasing after him.

Xiao Qiong said calmly: "This is my mistake, you don't have to be punished with me."

Gu Xingmian patted him on the shoulder and said generously: "You are not the only one who got the zero score. Besides, we are all brothers. We should share the good and the bad. Don't be afraid, Dad will protect you!"

Xiao Qiong: "..."

The reflection room is a very small dark room with only a palm-sized window that lets in a few scattered lights.

When Gu Xingmian saw it, his heart went cold.

The original brotherhood disappeared in an instant.

"Well, I thought about it. People still have to be flexible. Do you think it's feasible for me to go to Mr. Wright to plead for mercy now..."

Xiao Qiong looked at him dimly.

Gu Xingmian felt guilty being looked at, he closed his eyes and muttered: "Okay, okay, can't I go with you!"

Xiao Qiong registered the student number, and then walked into the reflection room with Gu Xingmian.

The iron door closed with a "bang".

The two were instantly surrounded by darkness, and it was so quiet that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

It was Xiao Qiong's first time in a reflection room, and Gu Xingmian had no such experience.

In such an environment, the slightest movement can easily be magnified, which can easily make people feel depressed.

Gu Xingmian opened his mouth, intending to tell a few cold jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

But suddenly he heard Xiao Qiong say: "What I said before was not that I dislike you, I just..."

He considered the words for a while, but didn't know how to express it.

Gu Xingmian was silent.

He actually understood what Xiao Qiong meant.

It was like he came to this world inexplicably and became a card drawn from a card pool. Those people outside were surprised and praised him, but they called him "UR card" or "Xiao Qiong's card".

Only he himself knew that he was a human being, and his name was Gu Xingmian.

He was not anyone's vassal.

Just like Chihiro in "Spirited Away", if she forgets her name, she can never go back.

He can only keep reminding himself that he is a human being, not a card.

But in such a world, it is very lonely and painful to maintain such clarity, but he dare not relax, because once he relaxes, he will most likely be assimilated.

And now, it's as if he saw a ray of light in the endless darkness.

He remembered that Xiao Qiong seemed to treat him differently from other card masters to cards.

Xiao Qiong has always regarded him as an independent individual.

He has the experience before the time travel, so he can maintain this cognition with difficulty.

But what about Xiao Qiong?

He vaguely saw the outline of Xiao Qiong through the dim light leaking through the small window.

Living in such a society, what exactly did Xiao Qiong go through to have such a "treasonous" idea and to be so determined to come to this day.

Xiao Qiong seemed to feel his sight: "What's wrong?"

Gu Xingmian took advantage of the little light and moved to Xiao Qiong's side: "Where is your shoulder? Let me lean on it."

Xiao Qiong felt a touch of warmth gently leaning on his arm, floating like a cloud.

A slight tingling sensation rose in his heart, causing him to subconsciously tense his body.

Gu Xingmian raised his head: "What are you doing..."

Their faces were very close, and Gu Xingmian was caught off guard by Xiao Qiong's eyes.

The dark green color seemed even more enchanting in the darkness, as if it was going to suck in people's souls.

"You..." Xiao Qiong's hoarse voice rang out.

Gu Xingmian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his throat became dry: "What, what?"

Xiao Qiong hesitated for a moment, and then asked sincerely: "Are you scared?"

Gu Xingmian: "..."

The accelerated heartbeat just now seemed like a joke, and he said unhappily: "Bullshit! I was afraid that you would be scared!! "
