Chapter 73 Battle Royale
At this moment, Qiao Susu was a little surprised because the person in front of her looked very gloomy, with a murderous aura all over his body, but his mental strength was actually weak.
As soon as she entered the auditorium, several mental energies quickly enveloped her, then quickly faded after confirming her level and threat level. While the males didn't say a word, their eyes clearly conveyed, "You're too weak, I don't want to bother with you," and "Ah, so weak, no threat at all."
This experience was something she had never experienced before. It was also the only time she had exchanged spiritual energy with another person since awakening her spiritual power, except for the time she was accidentally injured by Luka's pressure. The feeling was magical, something she had never experienced as a female.
In fact, Qiao Susu didn't know that this is how male orcs usually greet each other. However, when it comes to females, there are clear regulations in the interstellar world that males are not allowed to release their mental power at will. In addition, due to the shackles of social morality, if a male tests and wraps his mental power around a female, he will be scolded to death because they think that this male is too frivolous and not a serious male.
But this person in front of me who obviously looks very strong, his mental strength level is actually lower than mine?
"Oh, sorry, I stepped on you." After the voice-changing pills, her voice no longer sounded soft and delicate. Instead, her voice was just like her, like a clean-cut boy who had just gone through the voice-changing period.
Anubis simply nodded and turned his gaze away from her. He wouldn't interact with anyone unless absolutely necessary. The more he knew about someone, the greater the risk of exposure.
"My name is Joe, nice to meet you."
"Um."
"What's your name? We might be classmates in the future."
Anubis glanced at her coldly, seeing her face filled with longing, her dark pupils moist and clear as if ready to cry at any moment. He withdrew his gaze indifferently, and after a long while, he uttered a low word amid the noisy voices: "Bi."
This was the name his father and Uncle Siobhan often called him when he was a child, always "Little Bi" and "Bi". At that time, everyone thought that life had hope.
Unlike the gloomy boy, Qiao Susu tilted her head and smiled, looking bright and cheerful. She felt much better after coming out.
"We both have the same name."
Could it be that he is also a pseudonym? She joked in her heart.
Suddenly, there was a whistling sound of a microphone on the stage of the auditorium, and then a square-faced and serious-looking man stood in the center of the stage and spoke to thousands of freshmen below.
"The theme of this test: Escape Game. Rules: No rules. Objective: Survive to the end. Okay, now, let's begin."
The speech, without a beginning or end, and even without a hello, ended in a brief and shocking manner. Most of the males in the audience were still unresponsive. Some looked at each other, some frowned in confusion, and some were bewildered. Someone in the crowd shouted, "So what does it mean to pass?"
"Since this is a game, what's the most important thing?"
The man in the center of the stage finished speaking and walked straight out of the backstage, leaving the freshmen talking about it.
"What? Why are you leaving without explaining clearly?"
"I try to guess the answer every year, but I never get it right."
"So what do we do now? Did he just say start?"
In the crowd, Qiao Susu looked at the entire auditorium that was boiling like a hot pot, and lowered her eyes quietly in thought.
What is the most important thing in games?
Maybe it was a hint left by the person who set the question.
Anubis calmly observed everything around him, first fixing his eyes on the windows and doors. Since it was an escape game, that meant he could win by escaping, but he did not act immediately.
Apparently, there were many quick-witted orcs who could think of this. They ran quickly towards the main entrance of the auditorium with ostentatious and complacent smiles on their faces.
"What a bunch of idiots, why think so complicated, just do it."
An ape-like beastman had already run to the door and opened it without hesitation, rushing out like a racer. The second after he stepped out, he lost his balance and plummeted to the ground, screaming.
“Aa ...
"Fell down? How could this happen?"
"what happens?"
Then several orcs ran too fast and couldn't stop and fell out of the door. The few orcs who followed behind and ran slower managed to escape with their lives.
"There's a bottomless pit down there!" someone shouted while clinging to the door.
A few brave orcs looked down cautiously, only to see that it was pitch black outside the door, and the entire auditorium seemed to be on a black planet suspended in the air.
"But when we came here, it was clearly a garden path. Aren't we in the Interstellar Strategic Academy?" Someone grabbed his hair and shouted uncontrollably.
Several nimble orcs had already climbed up to the window. Having learned from their previous experience, they didn't jump directly this time. Instead, they observed the situation and shouted, "There's a bottomless pit outside the window. We can't get out at all."
Anubis watched as several orcs collapsed and shouted, "Let us out!" He remained calm and composed, seemingly devoid of emotion. Qiao Suisui remained equally composed. She had just thought of escaping through the doors and windows, but she didn't act rashly.
At this moment, a voice came from the loudspeaker in the auditorium: "We are now distributing storage bags to small groups. The minimum number of people is 7. You can form your own team."
Except for those who already knew each other, everyone else was still confused about the current situation, but Qiao Susu quickly found someone who was also calmly watching the situation.
One was the guy next to me. There was another group of people, all of them were over 1.88 meters tall, with muscular bodies, bronze skin, and mysterious totems painted on their faces in various patterns.
She released her spiritual power to greet them.
The five people nearby immediately looked at Qiao Suisui. The boy standing in the middle had white spells painted between his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes, clearly someone with a say in the group. The male next to him whispered in his ear, "Jiejin, don't bring this burden with you."
All five of them were males of the purest bloodline within the Hot-Blooded Horse family, their facial totems symbolizing their respective lineages. Horses tend to live in groups, and Hot-Blooded Horses are tall, sturdy, and fierce. While they don't adhere to the same extremes of the law of the jungle as the Lion Beastmen, they still have a hierarchy of contempt. Qiao Suisui, a C-rank, clearly wasn't their choice.
Jie Jin looked at the thin boy, his pair of dark eyes looking at him with determination and sincerity, then he walked over. The others were stunned and followed him.
"You want to team up with us?"
Qiao Susu nodded. She had a clear understanding of her own strength, so she had to show the benefits she could bring to this small team in a direct way so as not to be left alone.
"I have space. Take me with you. It will definitely be useful to you."
Norway and the others were surprised. They looked her up and down and questioned her unhappily, "Just you?"
Without saying anything, Qiao Sui Sui took out her reward from the storage compartment provided by the system. Everyone saw a water-shaped dagger appear out of thin air in her palm.
"Norway, this kid really looks like he has space."
Norway was slapped in the face and was a little furious. He wanted to question again, but when he saw a gesture from Jie Jin, he shut up obediently.
Jie Jin said: "Okay, now we still need one more."
Qiao Suisui grabbed Anubis' wrist and said, "We are two people."
Anubis was stunned. He didn't expect her to bring him along.
