Chapter 77 A Corner of the Truth
When Labery first assigned Qiao Suisui this identity, he didn't specify who she was under. The man's original intention was to take the opportunity to give her his last name. As for the details, if you ask him, he will only tell you: "She is the spouse of Ash Labery."
Qiao Suisui obviously avoided the topic, so when Anubis asked her, she was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm just a distant relative, and I've only met him a few times."
Anubis silently looked away, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.
Qiao Susu noticed that his usually stable mood seemed to have fluctuated a little. Just as she was about to ask what was wrong, she was startled when she heard the loudspeaker suddenly sound.
"The test is over. Everyone gather in the center of the auditorium."
Qiao Suisui wanted to walk side by side with Anubis, but just as she took a step, she saw Anubis quickly pull aside the curtain and walk out, with no intention of waiting for her at all. Qiao Suisui was a little confused.
After everyone gathered in the auditorium, the person who originally asked the question walked to the center of the stage again.
"The game is over, did everyone have fun?"
There was a sudden commotion from the audience, and many people were injured to varying degrees.
"I know you don't understand why we're testing you this way, so let me explain. AOIS's motto is: Understand strategy, know when to advance and retreat, and be good at cooperation. These are also the three principles AOIS will use to train you. First, those who act rashly without judgment, unaware of the dangers outside, are not the ones we need. Second, when faced with extreme competition for survival, those who engage in internal strife, plunder, and who can't control their violent genes instead of focusing on win-win situations are not what we want."
Upon hearing this, those who had just participated in the scramble for the survival packs, those who split the team, including Norway, all lowered their heads in shame.
"Finally, we will never hire anyone who abandons their teammates for personal gain."
Those words struck Jie Jin like a blast of lightning. He knew his every performance would be recorded, and not only was he hopeless this year, he wouldn't be able to take the AOIS exam in the future. Trembling, he stared at the stage, unwillingly asking, "But you set the rules, aren't we just following them?"
"Yes, you made the rules."
"That's right, why should I never hire him?"
A few people in the crowd echoed.
The person in the center of the stage just smiled faintly and said, "Do you remember what I said at the beginning?"
Jie Jin was startled, his body swaying. He muttered to himself in a trance, "The theme of this test is the escape game. Rules: No rules. Objective: Survive to the end."
Therefore, from the beginning, you just need to survive to the end. There is no need to earn survival packs or promotion spots. They are all smokescreens.
Jie Jin looked at the young man standing beside him for some unknown reason. Seeing that she looked frank and didn't have the sudden realization or surprise that most people would have when they heard this, he immediately asked, "Qiao, you guessed it from the beginning, right?"
Qiao Suisui shook her head and said, "It was only after the bloodthirsty bees appeared that I started thinking in this direction. The bloodthirsty bees are artificially bred. Although ferocious, they are controllable. This shows that someone in the dark can manipulate them, and it also shows that the school doesn't really want to put us in life-or-death crisis. Coupled with the letter in the survival kit, I am even more certain that the school's intention is not just to promote us, but to truly teach us something."
This time, Jie Jin was really convinced. Although this young man's mental strength was only C-level, his intelligence, adaptability and judgment were all above theirs. It was only a matter of time before his strength increased.
Someone asked loudly: "Who is the final winner?"
The person on the stage said, "It's a shame there are only three people in this class."
There was an uproar in the audience. Out of more than a thousand people, only three passed the test. Who were they?
When Norway heard the words "three people", he thought of the three places, and hope rekindled in his eyes. However, Jie Jin quickly calmed down, his eyes full of introspection and deep thought.
"They are Li Yi, Joe Labrie, and Bi."
There was a sudden buzz of discussion in the auditorium.
"Who? Who? Quick, I want the information of these three people within two minutes!"
"Levi, is he a member of the royal family of Oslan?"
"Why are all these names I've never heard of? None of the strong players predicted for this year showed up."
Many people quickly posted the list of these three people on Nebula, and the number of replies climbed steadily within five minutes, quickly becoming a hot topic.
#Surprise! Three dark horses emerged this year, but AOIS only accepted three? #
#Who can take in this sad boy like me? I ran the whole test and got stung by a wasp#
#Is a royal family member enrolled in AOIS due to his/her ability or some shady manipulation? #
#AOIS enrollment rate hits a new low again, 0.03%! #
Qiao Suisui hadn't expected to be selected. After all, she had a better plan after understanding the school's testing intentions, but she didn't implement it. She could have shared her speculation and led her small team to survive to the end, relying on her supplies to survive for a few days. But she didn't, because she believed trust was important. Jie Jin clearly didn't believe her, and she felt her persuasion was futile, so she simply died together.
I didn’t expect that I would actually be selected!
Her eyes were full of smiles as she searched for Bi in the crowd, then quietly walked over, wanting to celebrate with him, but the moment she grabbed his sleeve, he suddenly brushed her away.
Qiao Susu looked at the coldness in Anubis' eyes and felt a little at a loss.
"Bi, what's wrong with you?"
Anubis suppressed his anger and turned back, frowning and staring straight ahead, gritting his teeth and saying nothing. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would not be able to help but say something sharp to hurt her.
Although he wasn't born when the incident happened, he often heard Uncle Siobhan and his father mention it. They were once the strongest and most respected elite force in the Federation, but due to instigation by the top brass, they came under suspicion. Not only were the members imprisoned and tortured to extract confessions, but they were also backstabbed during a reactionary joint operation. The reinforcements that were supposed to be sent were delayed, and the brothers were almost dead. However, they remained loyal to their duties and determined to complete the mission, trying their best to hold on. Until the last moment of their lives, they had no idea that this was an elaborate plan to destroy them and that no reinforcements would come.
My father secretly fled back to the Federation with the survivors and only then did he learn of the conspiracy. After that, they were unexpectedly labeled as "rebels."
How ridiculous that the brave warriors who fought for the glory and future of the Federation suddenly became rebels.
One of the instigators was Gorbachev III.
Anubis hated the Federation, hated Oslan, and hated all the culprits who made him and his people live in the shadow of darkness.
Although he knew that the young man in front of him was innocent, sincere, and kind-hearted, and that what happened in the past had nothing to do with her, every time he saw her face, he would remember that her last name was Liberi.
If his father knew that he was hanging out with the Lebery family, he would be so disappointed in himself.
