Lu Baoyou was stunned.
Looking at Lin Qiye's back, he suddenly realized that he and the other party were not on the same level at all, whether in terms of strength, vision, or depth of thinking.
Obviously, Lin Qiye was only a few years older than her, but for some reason, in front of him, Lu Baoyou felt like a child.
Immature, superficial, and completely led by the nose.
“…Okay.” Lu Baoyou was silent for a long time, but finally said this word.
Just as Lin Qiye said, he cannot give up his soul for these illusory things. He is also a living human being and has the right to pursue life.
The three chances Lin Qiye gave him allowed him to strike a stable balance between Da Xia's survival and his own life and death.
He can do what he wants and has the opportunity to pursue the qualification to live.
"That's the dormitory building. Go find a dormitory to live in, pack your things, and then come to the cafeteria. I'll take care of the other instructors." Lin Qiye said lightly and disappeared on the spot.
Lu Baoyou stood alone in front of the empty dormitory building, staring at the place where Lin Qiye disappeared. He didn't know how much time had passed, muttering to himself.
"One day, I will catch up with you..."
…
"You want to personally guarantee Lu Baoyou?"
On the phone, Yuan Gang heard Lin Qiye's words and asked in surprise, "For him, is it that serious?"
"This is not for him, but for the Night Watch." Lin Qiye replied, "There is something in that child's eyes that other Night Watchmen don't have...Give him some more time, I think he will grow to a point that no one can imagine."
"If that's the case, I can apply directly to the higher-ups to restore his recruit status. After all, he is a divine agent, and with you as a guarantor, I think the higher-ups will agree..."
"No, I don't need that." Lin Qiye refused decisively. "If you want to forge a good sword, you need to forge it countless times. It's not a good thing for him to grow too smoothly."
Yuan Gang on the other end of the phone fell silent.
"Hello? Instructor Yuan, can you hear me?"
"I can hear you. I'm just thinking about something." Yuan Gang smiled, "Qi Ye, have you noticed that you are becoming more and more like someone..."
"who?"
"Ye Fan."
Lin Qiye was stunned.
"Your vision, your perspective, your methods, and the way you teach the younger generation... are very similar to Ye Fan when he was young." Yuan Gang couldn't help but sigh, "My Great Xia Night Watch will have another pillar."
"You flatter me." Lin Qiye smiled helplessly, "I'm at the cafeteria now. I'll hang up now."
Lin Qiye hung up the phone, looked up at the crowded cafeteria, straightened his clothes, and walked in.
…
The cafeteria was already packed with recruits.
After the escape training was over, the new recruits who were locked in the small dark room were also released. Each of them looked like a walking corpse who had lost their dreams, standing in front of the empty table with dull eyes.
"Hey, what did you experience after entering the small dark room?" Su Zhe nudged his companions and couldn't help asking.
“They…they…” The companion seemed to recall some bad memories. His face turned pale, he covered his face with his hands, and answered painfully, “They tickled us with their tentacles…”
"What?!" Su Zhe was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrongly, "Tentacle? Tickle?"
"There is a group of tentacle monsters in that warehouse. I don't know what kind of 'mysterious' they are. They carry a strange electric current that can amplify human senses dozens of times. Do you know how terrifying it is when the itch is amplified dozens of times?" Despair appeared in the eyes of the companion. "I have felt countless times that my soul has left my body..."
"It does sound a bit bad." Su Zhe felt a chill on the soles of his feet. "But if it's just like this, it doesn't seem too scary, right?"
"No, of course it's more than that." The companion said seriously, "Tickling is just the first step. In that warehouse, there is a complete massage assembly line... After your senses are magnified dozens of times, pressing, drilling, and knocking on each acupoint is a form of torture!
After this round of "massage", almost everyone fainted two or three times. It was simply the torture of Asura Purgatory!
I would rather be trained to death... than go in again."
In the eyes of my companions, there was fear from the depths of their souls.
"Who are those 'mysterious' people? How come they can also give massages?" Su Zhe complained.
"Listening to the communication between those 'mysterious' ones, they seem to be from... the Ministry of Internal Affairs? The leader is a silver cube, and those tentacle monsters are all its subordinates."
"Ministry of Internal Affairs? What a weird name."
“…”
While they were talking, an old man with a dark complexion, along with several instructors, came pushing several large carts of food and began distributing dinner to the new recruits.
A stainless steel basin contained a piece of raw meat and a black, semi-solidified substance that looked like chocolate or bread. It emitted a faint green glow under the pale light of the cafeteria, and was accompanied by a frowning, sour and smelly odor.
"What is that?"
"I don't know...it smells terrible."
"What the heck is this thing?"
"No, * smells a little fresher than this, and it's usually not so sticky, unless..."
"Ugh! Stop talking! Shut up!"
“…”
The recruits all frowned at the same time as they looked at the stainless steel basin in front of them and the two things that were not food at all. They couldn't help but talk to each other, with confusion on their faces.
"Quiet."
An Qingyu stood at the door of the cafeteria, glanced at the new recruits, and spoke lightly.
The noisy cafeteria suddenly became silent.
"Have a meal."
It was still two simple and easy-to-understand words, but this time, the recruits’ faces were filled with confusion.
"Report!"
"speak."
"Coach An, where is our...meal?"
"Food?" An Qingyu raised his eyebrows. "Isn't it right in front of you?"
"?"
The recruits looked at the stainless steel basin again, and several voices rang out at the same time, "But there's nothing to eat here!"
"Yes, the meat is still raw and covered in blood..."
"What is this black thing? Why does it smell weird?"
"Instructor An, did we make a mistake?"
Without waiting for An Qingyu to speak, Cao Yuan behind him raised his right hand and slammed it heavily on the table on the side.
Boom!
A dull roar echoed throughout the cafeteria. Cao Yuan's sharp eyes swept around fiercely, and the recruits suddenly quieted down.
"No mistake." An Qingyu pushed his glasses and said calmly, "The raw meat in front of you and the cement-flavored 'unpleasant fish cakes' are your dinner today."
