The speakers were an official joint organization called the "Joint Committee on Special Matters."

This organization is a loose union in which each country selects representatives to participate, handles unusual affairs, and nominally has the power of judgment and arbitration.

For example, the "Law Enforcement Team" is a force under the committee.

Basically, international affairs need to be handed over to the committee for arbitration. "The form of this exercise is hunting."

The speaker smiled and said, "In order to cope with the increasingly complex situation, and also to deepen the ties between countries and avoid differences due to exercises, we have chosen to split the teams from each country and hunt the alien species in the mountains under the leadership of one teacher."

"The entire hunting process will be recorded and recorded, and there will be specialists in the observation room to evaluate and grade the team members. At the same time, please evaluate your team members, and your evaluation scores will also be used as one of the criteria for each team member's performance."

"Please judge based on the facts. Your scores will be reviewed three to four times to ensure fairness and justice."

Hearing this, someone asked, "Hunting? Are there enough alien species on Yanxia Mountain?"

If there are not enough prey, then the hunting will probably end in cannibalism with competitors as prey.

In addition, this time the teams from various countries are split up, so if there is a shortage of prey, some bad things may happen.

Therefore, this point must be clarified in advance.

Hearing this, the speaker glanced over there, then said with a smile: "Of course it is enough."

"Each country has drawn a portion of relatively safe and non-proliferative species, plus the special situation of Yanxia Mountain, and then there is one last point."

The spokesperson looked at everyone present and said: "In addition to the corresponding alien species, there will be special personnel acting as 'monsters' in this hunt."

"The 'monsters' may be hiding in the exercise team, they may be wild animals, they may be teachers, or even students. Their existence is to improve students' ability to identify alien species. After all, many alien species hide in society in human form. If there is not enough knowledge, there will be more and more cases of being deceived or even harmed."

"I'm sure you've all noticed that more and more alien species have appeared around the world recently. We, the co-organizers, believe that there will be more and more alien species in the future. Therefore, the talents we need now are not only outstanding in martial arts, but also need to have keen observation and judgment."

“That’s why there were some minor changes to this exercise.”

Then, the spokesperson smiled again and said, "Of course, there are many new rules and regulations in addition to this. Those changes will be recorded in a book and sent to everyone for review."

Listening to his speech, a representative sighed: "The presence of teachers is being reduced every year. If this is the case, we should just have no one to supervise the exams in the future."

Being an accompanying teacher is the most tiring job. Not only can you not act rashly, you can't interfere too much with students' behavior. Apart from standing there as a radar and a pole, you are basically useless for other purposes.

Hearing this, the spokesperson smiled and said, "This year is a little different from the past. Please read the manual for details. Now, what we need to do is to draw the team members."

As he spoke, the spokesman stood up and pushed a small cart from the side.

On top of the car was an exquisite square box, wrapped in a thick, completely opaque black cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside.

There is a gap on the top of the box for your hand to reach in.

Taking two steps back, the spokesperson said, "This is the instrument for drawing the list of team members."

"Because strict confidentiality was maintained beforehand, the selection process can be ensured to be fair and just."

The spokesperson looked around and said, "Then please draw in order of seats."

After hearing this, someone suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute."

Howard, with blond hair, raised his right hand and said out of the blue, "What if someone with special abilities can guess the result of the selection in advance and interfere with the result?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Ling, who was sitting opposite him with his forehead supported by his hand.

After being looked at like this, Bai Ling turned his gaze towards him and smiled at him.

Howard probably didn't know Bering's abilities, but that didn't stop him from guessing something from the title of "prophet".

So far, he has collected some information about Bering. Although these information are incomplete and Bering's name and personal information cannot be found, there are still some references.

According to the information, this man who calls himself a "prophet" seems to have the ability to predict the future! Of course, this cannot be said to be how strong Howard's ability to collect information is.

The main thing is that some of this guy’s video materials are posted on some live broadcast websites, and it seems that the website is also promoting it to a certain extent...

This made Howard very confused.

What the hell, it turns out that the East no longer considers the impact and public panic, and decides to let ordinary people know this kind of news? Have times changed?

In short, no matter how confused Howard was, he got some clues about Bering, such as his ability to predict the future, which he figured out from Bering's words and deeds.

Although it was unclear how long Bering's predictive ability would last, nor what the limitations of this ability were, Howard still felt it was very tricky and... dangerous.

After all, predicting the future is a power that makes people feel extremely puzzled even when it is used in film and television works.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that such powerful capabilities are inevitably accompanied by a terrible price.

If humans want to use power, whether it is superpowers or alien power, they will inevitably pay a price. This is an irreversible rule.

So the same is probably true for "foreknowledge".

The price that comes with such ability will inevitably make life the currency and health be placed on one end of the scale, allowing the hand of fate to move the veil and make both ends of the scale equal with the picture presented in the future.

Of course, Howard didn't really want Bering to die, he just wanted to disgust him.

Anyway, no matter what, let's get this thing out first, and we'll talk about what happens later!

Howard thought so in his heart.

Bai Ling glanced at him and then looked away.

When Bai Ling looked away, his mind flashed: "Sure enough, there is a very subtle red in Howard's eyes. He has also been given mental suggestion, or mental toxin."

Yes, otherwise if he was really a representative, he would not be so irrational and angry with someone.

It seemed like everyone else present was looking at Howard strangely, totally unaware of why this guy who had a sullen face before suddenly raised his hand and spoke, and his words were pointed, as if he was targeting someone.

Even if such uncalm behavior occurs, it should not occur in such occasions.

Some people have already moved a few steps to the side and started to move away from Howard.

Their idea was simple: Howard might have a serious brain problem, and something bad might happen to him later. They should stay away from him now, so that when something goes wrong, they won't get themselves splashed with blood.

Unconsciously, Howard's relationship with many people became a little distant.

But Bai Ling didn't care much.

That's still good.

God knows what happened when he was standing at the door and looking into the future ten minutes later.

If Bering had not entered the door at that time, that is, at 1:36, Howard would have spoken without restraint and said some topics that were not conducive to national unity and even incited national relations.

Then he would be angered by Qi Guang's bland remarks, and soon after the meeting began, he would start talking nonsense and lose his mind, just like a fool who has completely lost the ability to think for himself.

At that time, Howard was really isolated and alienated, and his entire social life was about to countdown.

So strictly speaking, Bering saved Howard's social personality.

At least with Bering's attention diverted, Howard's attention is now focused on him, and his mind is full of thoughts on how to disgust Bering without completely losing his mind.

This is also why Bering said that although it was not his intention, he actually "saved" Howard.

Well, how should I put it, time is really an interesting thing. If Bering had not intervened before, Howard would probably have been socially dead.

But, as expected, Howard’s country has become rotten from top to bottom.

With this thought in mind, Bering stroked his chin, his eyes flickering: "In addition to Peter, even Howard, the representative, has been affected so deeply... It seems that there is a big problem in Western Europe."

What a hassle.

Looking at the sea of ​​consciousness surging with white foam in front of him, Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh: "Why is there so much trouble everywhere?"

Compared with places like Western Europe and island countries, our country can be described as a place of peace, happiness, and prosperity.

Even if there were disaster-level forces like the Nine-Headed Cult and the Witch, they would not be able to cause any trouble while Wang Wei was still in charge of the central government.

But for small countries like those in Western Europe...

I can only say that there is really no other way. After all, there are only so many masters and the planet is so big.

There's really no way.

As he thought this, Bai Ling regained consciousness and returned to the present.

After hearing Howard's words, the spokesperson's smile remained unchanged: "Don't worry, Representative Howard."

"We can ensure that there will be absolutely no additional factors affecting the people who participate in the draw this time."

Then, the spokesperson looked at the people below and continued, "Please select your team members according to your seating order."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front took two steps forward, stood next to the cart, reached into the box and fumbled around for a while.

As he touched it, the man's face gradually became a little strange.

Soon, he withdrew his hand, wiped it on his black suit with a look of disgust, and walked quickly back to his seat with an extremely complicated expression.

What's going on? Everyone looked at him strangely.

After Bai Ling stared at the box for a long time, his expression suddenly changed.

His hands under the table were rubbing his pants imperceptibly, as if they were stained with something disgusting and he wanted to rub his skin off.

Qi Guang, who was standing by, looked at the representatives who walked up and left one by one with interest, and whispered to Bai Ling, "It seems like there's something strange about this selection..."

"Be careful when you go there later. I don't know why they didn't forbid you, but I'm sure you can arrange it properly with your abilities..."

Qi Guang did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed about this behavior which could almost be called "cheating".

If other people were sitting here, they might still feel ashamed and hesitant, but a director and a deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau would definitely not hesitate at all. Instead, they would be very excited and would even want to light a few firecrackers in other people's ears on the spot while laughing and dancing.

As an absolute pragmatist, Qi Guang doesn't mind as long as the rules allow and it's not too excessive.

So he was actually quite happy.

But soon, he became unhappy.

Listening to Qi Guang's words, Bai Ling turned his head and looked at him with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.

This was the first time that Bai Ling showed such obvious emotional changes in front of Qi Guang.

After a while, Bai Ling sighed and said, "I won't go. It's useless. They are doing a good job. At least I can't influence them."

"and……"

Bai Ling rubbed his hands vigorously and said nonchalantly: "You should draw the lottery this time. This is fair."

Qi Guang: “?”

You didn't do anything? After a while, he finally reacted and looked at Bai Ling in disbelief: "Wait, let's not talk about why it is fair or not... You have experienced it all with your own ability?!"

"You experienced it once in your future and then told me you went there once. It's not fair that I didn't go there..."

"But in my opinion, this never happened at all?!"

Faced with Qi Guang's shock, Bai Ling sighed again.

"This is part of the plan." He said something that Qi Guang couldn't refute at all.

Once this sentence was spoken, the nature of everything changed.

The so-called plan refers to cleaning out the traitors.

Hearing this, Qi Guang's expression changed slightly.

After a long while, he gave Bai Ling a fierce look, then was forced to adjust his wheelchair and head towards the cart.

He is in an extremely complicated mood now.

It would be fine if Bai Ling didn't act so strange, but Bai Ling has already had this attitude, which probably means that this extraction... is definitely problematic! What is more terrifying than the unknown? That is when you know in advance what is going to happen ahead, but you don't know exactly what it will be...

So when Qi Guang put his hand into the box, the expression on his face was even a little tragic.

Then Bai Ling saw for the first time in history Qi Guang's unusually developed facial muscles.

First there was confusion, then shock, then nausea, finally confusion, and then pain.

Wait until everything is done and come back.

Qi Guang sat next to Bai Ling, slumped in the wheelchair, looking like he had lost his soul: "You bastard..."

"Don't give me the chance, or I'll disgust you..."

Looking at the painful Qi Guang, Bai Ling couldn't help but look at him with pity.

At this moment, although he was clearly "seeing" it in the sea of ​​consciousness, Bai Ling still felt that the slippery feeling on his right hand had not completely subsided.

It was so disgusting that even Bai Ling found it hard to bear.

He turned his head and whispered to Qi Guang: "I didn't expect that they would use a different species..."

"The people on the committee are really crazy. They implanted special carbon paper into the bodies of living aliens and asked us to crush it. I guess the next step is to use scanners to screen out the results and determine the rankings."

The slippery feeling on his hands and the slight "snapping" sounds echoing in his ears made Bai Ling look a little disgusted.

That is why the committee is confident that no one will try to influence the outcome in advance.

Because this screening actually consists of two parts.

The first part is the selection, the second part is the confirmation.

The second part requires special instruments, and it cannot be detected at all without the instruments.

Moreover, Bering also tried to use his precognitive ability to see.

But what surprised him was that every time he predicted the result, it was not accurate and fixed.

Even if he has controlled other variables, there may still be various changes in the predicted future.

Bering had only seen this feeling on one thing before.

"Tartarus", the abyss in Greek mythology.

Therefore, even if Bering tried his best to use his ability to predict the future to obtain a sufficiently effective and accurate result, he simply could not do it.

This made his thoughts jump and become scattered for a moment.

Of course, strictly speaking, this lottery can be considered fair.

And it seems that the committee’s arrangements for the alien species are quite good.

At least they can be screened in this way, and I'm afraid they do have quite a few alien species as "prey".

After all, even extraction can use living alien species. When the hunting really begins, who knows how many monsters will be all over the mountains and plains, occupying a hole and starting to move around like rabbits.

I thought so in my heart.

After a while, the second part of the verification process began.

This time the process was very quick and took almost no time.

I have to say, seeing Qi Guang sticking to the special instrument with a disgusted look on his face, Bai Ling felt a lot happier.

Soon, the names of all the people present were listed one by one.

The list of students that Bai Ling needed to lead was reported after Qi Guang.

Looking at the list and the mostly familiar names on it, Bai Ling's eyes flickered.

"interesting."
