Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Sorry, natural
Over the next few days, he and Hoss traveled together to the Sevan assessment area. The assessment required them to obtain a blank information card and appear in the registration hall within the specified time.
Information cards are buried in every corner of this jungle. There is no limit on the number of people who can enter, anyone who fills out the form can enter, but the number of information cards is limited.
The announcement will be made in real time and there are several information cards in the venue.
To avoid fighting, they took the small paths along the way. Although they were difficult to walk on, they could conceal their whereabouts well.
Pei Shuyu's plan was to honestly find the information card before leaving, but Huos had a completely different idea. Huos suggested that they just grab other people's information cards directly, that is, after others find the information card, they can intercept it.
Save time and effort.
Pei Shuyu was reluctant at first, but Huos talked him down, "Why are you so stubborn? Think about it, the information cards are fixed, and there are so many people! Everyone enters from different places. What if some idiot happens to have an information card in the place where he enters, he can just take it and leave, passing the test. And if the capable person fails to find it by mistake, wouldn't it be a pity for Saifan?"
Pei Shuyu thought about it and realized that this was the truth.
Seeing that he was a little shaken, Hoss continued, "So, Sevan wants us to have competition. It's not like everyone can just live in peace and quiet and find an information card to go out. Do you understand? We fight for the information card. If we get it, it means the opponent is not qualified to enter Sevan. If we don't get it, it means we are not as strong as them. We also help Sevan to screen. Don't you agree?"
What he said made perfect sense, but Pei Shuyu, who had just graduated from school, had no idea about all these twists and turns. He just thought he was right and kept nodding.
Huos laughed, and his hearty laughter eased the tense atmosphere of the past few days, and Pei Shuyu also felt much more relaxed.
The two rested for the night, and the radio began to announce the remaining quantity.
Less than half of that amount is left.
Huo Si gestured to Pei Shuyu, telling him that two people at three o'clock had received information cards.
One alpha and one omega.
It seems that they have formed an alliance.
Pei Shuyu nodded, and the two rushed out together, each restraining one. Huos was clearly a martial artist, so subduing the omega was easy for him. But Pei Shuyu, a medical student, didn't know what to do after rushing out, so he simply hugged the man from behind, which he considered as a lock.
Unfortunately, he lacked practical experience. The alpha not only broke free but also elbowed Pei Shuyu. Huo Si turned his head and saw this scene. He knocked the omega unconscious with a backhand, then tried to stop the alpha. Finally, he mocked Pei Shuyu mercilessly: "Ha, you can't do this."
Pei Shuyu: ...
After a body search, I successfully got two information cards.
Pei Shuyu stroked the information card and let out a long breath.
finally……
"Hoss, we've got the information card, shall we go?" He turned around and tried to urge Hoss to leave.
After all, there is not much time left for the assessment.
He turned around and heard the sound of the knife sinking into flesh.
The two men were lying on the ground without a sound, having been killed by a single blow. Hoss drew his military dagger and slowly wiped the bodies of the dead.
Hoss slowly stood up.
Pei Shuyu's eyes were full of shock, and he looked at the stranger in front of him with confusion.
"Hoss...why? You killed them?!"
Hoss looked nonchalant, twirling his military knife in various ways. He replied calmly, "I just killed him."
Pei Shuyu was trembling all over, his lips trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Although he had rescued the wounded and witnessed death in practical classes at school, he was still very young.
But this was the first time someone was killed in front of him.
Pei Shuyu angrily stepped forward and grabbed Huos's collar, his eyes red, "We just need to get the information card! Why did you kill them?!"
Huo Si looked at Pei Shuyu indifferently, as if he were a lamb to be slaughtered. He twisted Pei Shuyu's hand that was holding his collar with his backhand, and Pei Shuyu slipped away in pain. Huo Si took advantage of this movement and pushed him hard.
Pei Shuyu staggered a few steps and held onto the old tree next to him to steady himself.
Although he had only been with Huos for a few days, Huos had always been helpful and kind-hearted. He really didn't understand how Huos, who was willing to help him chase the thief, enlighten him, and help him, could become like this.
"Why?" Pei Shuyu still didn't give up.
Huos stretched his wrists and rubbed his sore neck, looking impatient. "Ah, I've been pretending to be a nice guy for a few days, and now it really makes me very irritated."
What did he mean? He had been pretending these past few days. What was the point? He asked himself if he had anything that others could covet.
Pei Shuyu stared at Huos in disbelief, and the two looked at each other in silence.
In this silent place, the radio began its final broadcast.
[There are currently two information cards left in the field, and there are still fifteen minutes until the end of the assessment.]
Pei Shuyu clenched the information card in his hand and stepped back.
"Forget it, I'll let you know what's going on before I die." Huos flicked his wrists twice. "After all, I've never seen anyone as stupid as you."
These words were blunt and cruel, completely tearing apart the perfect mask that Hoss had been wearing these days.
While Pei Shuyu was observing the escape routes around him, he couldn't help but wonder about Huos's real purpose.
Was it to stop Saifan from recruiting people? Then there was no need to play along with him. Wouldn't it be better to just kill him right there in the suburbs? But thinking about it that way made even less sense. What was the point of killing him alone? Would he kill all the other participants one by one?
Pei Shuyu carefully chose his words and said, "Why did you go after the man who stole my bag? Why did you help me? Why did you go to Saifan?"
Hoss stood beside the two bodies with his arms folded, seeming to really think seriously about it.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, Pei Shuyu only saw him throwing his head back and laughing.
"There are so many problems with dead people. You ask me why? Ahahahahahahaha!"
Before Pei Shuyu could react, Huos pulled out the dagger from his forearm and rushed towards him with a bolt of arrows.
Pei Shuyu was unable to dodge and could only block it forcefully, taking the kick head-on.
With a dull thud, Pei Shuyu felt a scrape on his back. Before he could even catch his breath, Hoss's attacks rained down like raindrops. Pei Shuyu quickly ducked and rolled to the side to avoid the blows.
"Is this all you can do? You still want to enter Sevan?"
Huoss could attack and taunt him at the same time, which made Pei Shuyu feel unwilling.
Pei Shuyu, who had no idea where he got the courage from, caught Huos's dagger with his own hand. Blood dripped from his palm onto the grass, and the air was filled with a hint of blood.
Hoss hadn't expected this seemingly useless idiot to dare to take his knife with his hands. He spoke with interest, "Didn't you ask why I wanted to help you? Why did you go to Sevan?"
Pei Shuyu's heart was beating very fast, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all. He could no longer feel the pain. Perhaps his hands had lost all feeling, but he didn't know.
"I approached you because you, an S-class alpha, actually dreamed of establishing an equal rights society? As for why I came in, you were going to die anyway, so it wouldn't make any difference if I told you. The utopia you dreamed of will never come true. We will gradually infiltrate this fantastic organization, and then destroy it." Hoss's face was filled with a strange smile, even excitement.
Pei Shuyu's breathing stagnated and he felt a chill from head to toe.
"I thought you had some skills, but after spending the past few days with me, S-rank? That's all you're worth."
Before he could finish his words, Hoss suddenly pulled out the dagger, bringing out a few drops of blood.
Pei Shuyu quickly took off his coat and covered the wound with it, pressing it hard with his palm to prevent excessive bleeding in a short period of time.
There were still ten minutes left until the end, and Hoss was no longer in a hurry to attack him. It wouldn't be too late to take the information card after Pei Shuyu died.
Pei Shuyu's face was pale, and he was beginning to see double. He tried hard to stand up straight and not fall down.
"Are you reaching your limit?" Hoss began to play with the dagger in his hand again. "You're so useless? Without me, would you be able to see what the information card looks like?"
Seeing Pei Shuyu sitting on the ground, looking completely bewildered, Huo Si took a leisurely step and prepared to give him the final blow. After all, they had been pretending to get along with each other for a few days, so he might as well give him a quick death.
Hoss thought happily.
"Wait a minute..." Pei Shuyu's voice was hoarse and he had to gasp for breath when speaking.
"Do you have any last words?" Hoss squatted down and looked at him with teasing eyes.
Pei Shuyu trembled as he handed over the information card with his good hand. "Information card... here you go... you're right... a fake S-rank... I'm really not worthy of entering... Saifan."
He spoke incoherently, his breath was weak, and it seemed that he would not survive even without Huos's help.
"What do you mean? Forgery?" Hoss grasped the point.
Pei Shuyu nodded weakly and began to tell his story.
He said that he was picked up by a doctor. At that time, he was just a C-level alpha and had always been looked down upon. The doctor couldn't bear to see him being bullied, so he found a way to implant an S-level alpha gland in him. At first, he was afraid of being discovered, but the hospital's physical examination machine couldn't detect it, so they kept it a secret from everyone.
Huo Si's eyes rolled as he began to ponder the truth of this statement. What if it was a trick? But Pei Shuyu's behavior these past few days certainly didn't seem like a smart person.
What's more, an S-level alpha is always strong and intelligent. If Pei Shuyu is really an S-level alpha, he can be suppressed by pheromones at the beginning of the fight.
Therefore, in his eyes, Pei Shuyu is stupid and incompetent.
Still dreaming of saving the world.
It's no surprise that he is a fake S-rank.
"Where is that doctor?" Hoss asked casually.
Pei Shuyu shook his head painfully, "I can't... I can't say..."
Huo Si's eyes turned fierce, and the tip of the knife was against Pei Shuyu's throat. "Hurry up and tell me, or I will cut you with one knife after another..."
Pei Shuyu shrank back as if frightened. He moved his fingers, tilted his head, his eyelids trembled, and his lips moved in and out.
"I say... I say..."
“Right…right…”
The sound is too soft and I can't hear it clearly.
Hoss couldn't help but move closer.
The next second, Pei Shuyu's lifeless eyes regained their luster. Huos' pupils dilated, and he knelt on the ground, covering the back of his neck, with an expression as if he wanted to cut Pei Shuyu into pieces.
A silver light flashed in Pei Shuyu's hand, and he pressed Huo Si's shoulders to support himself to stand up.
He didn't insert the needle too deep, mainly because he learned it casually from his classmates and his technique was not up to par.
This caused Hoss to be in a semi-dizzy state.
Pei Shuyu first tore a piece of cloth from Huos's clothes and wrapped it around his hands, then sat cross-legged next to Huos and looked at the information card.
Seeing Huos's eyes still fixed on him, as if he was looking for his life, Pei Shuyu took a deep breath and told the truth, "Sorry, I just made up all that. I am an S-level alpha."
"Innate."
