Chapter 17
Liu Huaqi suddenly became a little absent-minded, it wasn't very obvious, but Xi Siling still noticed it.
Is there something wrong with his ability? Liuhuaqi probably doesn't know about his ability, right?
Fortunately, Li Ke and Lan Yi were focusing on him and didn't notice it.
"Although I already knew that your ability has evolved, I still want to say, it's great!" Li Ke didn't even dare to imagine how powerful Xi Si Ling would be with the blessing of his own ability, given his powerful physical skills.
As roommates and good friends in the same team, they have certainly experienced Xi Siling's special abilities and know how powerful that terrifying increase is.
It not only has a strengthening effect on superpowers, but also on the body.
"But does this mean that you have to actively get yourself hurt first?"
Xi Siling nodded, "It's okay, biting myself counts."
It may sound strange to say this, but there are so many ways to hurt yourself that it seems unimportant compared to what you gain.
Lan Yi gave him a thumbs up and said, "Let's have a fight when we have a chance."
Xi Siling made an OK gesture.
Then came Li Ke. His ability had the most demanding conditions to activate among the others, and Liu Huaqi didn't seem to have expected such a power.
After all, Li Ke was the only one among them who worked part-time at school, and Liu Huaqi's first reaction was that he would definitely not be short of money.
Therefore, Liuhuacui quickly associated and understood the reason why Li Ke did this, and was filled with awe.
He is indeed a good friend of the senior in the department, Liu Huaqi sighed in his heart.
Finally, it’s Lan Yi.
[Fist of Hercules]
This is the name of Lan Yi's superpower registered at the Institute of Superpower Management.
Hercules is the strong god in ancient Greek mythology, and his special ability is to amplify the power of his fists.
The simplest supernatural effect, the most extreme power enjoyment.
How terrifying is Lan Yi's punch? We can get a glimpse of it from Li Ke's previous complaints.
"If you lose your job in the future, you can become a human shield machine and punch the mountain a few times to break through it."
Although the final result may be that the entire mountain is reduced to pieces.
But if you really regard him as a simple-minded person, you will suffer a great loss. The use of his supernatural fists is only part of his road to victory. Lan Yi's opponents are always conquered by his all-round and powerful despair.
Speed, physical strength, and unparalleled combat awareness, combined with superpowers, are the reasons why Lan Yi is truly powerful.
Lan Yi himself was still very simple, only his name and basic abilities were mentioned.
It was Li Ke's "friendly reminder" that described Lan Yi's terrifying power as well as possible, which gave Liu Huaqi a substantial understanding.
But Liuhuaqi is indeed more concerned about the name of the supernatural power.
The name of this ability...sounds familiar.
Liuhuaqi felt that he had heard it somewhere before.
Where is it? The boy's thoughts were a bit too narrow-minded.
No matter what Liu Huaqi was thinking, Xi Siling summarized it.
"Let's discuss tactics after we get the specific location and mission requirements. Do you all have any objections?"
"No."
“You’re guaranteed to win!”
"......"
"77?"
"Um... yeah! No comment!"
Seeing that things were on the right track, Xi Siling was of course happy.
"That's it for now! Disband!"
——
Finally the day of the midterm exam arrived. The third graders heard the exam bell and went into their assigned examination rooms, while the first and second graders gathered in the playground.
This situation is no different from a final exam.
Xishan became the chief examiner and was explaining various precautions on the stage.
To save your time, the following points are important.
The tasks each group will take on this time are determined by drawing lots, and they are all killing tasks of the same difficulty officially recognized by the Institute of Supernatural Management.
The second-year students are all A-level, while the first-year students are all B-level.
Every student must receive a ring issued by the school, which has the function of recording and transmitting student performance in real time. The effect is like third-person live broadcast and video recording. It not only facilitates teachers to protect students, but also can serve as a basis for teachers to grade students in the end.
The captain of the four-member team was Si Ling, so he was the one who drew the lot.
"I'm so conflicted. I don't want it to be too difficult, but I also feel like that would give me fewer opportunities to show my abilities." Li Ke expressed his concerns in a conflicted manner.
As long as the task is completed, they will definitely pass the midterm exam, but to get first place, too easy tasks are not good. After all, if the task is too easy, even if they perform perfectly, the teacher will definitely deduct points at their discretion.
"Now that we are here, we should make the best of it." Lan Yi has a rather 'heavy' character and a very calm mentality.
"Trust the senior in the department!" Liu Huaqi also relaxed. No matter how difficult the task was, he had the confidence to complete it.
Only Xi Siling had no such worries at all.
With the protagonist present, how could there not be surprises in such a well-performed plot?
Even if the old thief didn't cause any trouble, it's impossible to just let it go.
According to his speculation, this so-called A-level killing mission is likely to become an S or even S+ killing mission in the end.
Xi Siling didn't look at it in advance, so she took the envelope with the task number and walked down.
"What is what?"
Li Ke became excited, and Xi Siling took the initiative to hand it to him.
"I haven't seen it yet, you want to open it?"
Li Ke did not refuse and opened the envelope at the speed of light.
[Go to Louli Village in the northern suburbs of Shengjing, investigate the villagers' injuries, and kill any living dead that may exist]
The living dead have a distinct corpse odor, but when there are no dead people and no clear strong supernatural reactions, the mission specifications are rated A or below.
In most cases, such task classification is reasonable, but Xi Siling knew that this time it was definitely unusual.
"I can't tell the depth. Let's go and take a look without further delay."
The nervousness disappeared immediately, and Li Ke just hoped to complete the task as quickly as possible.
So they set off.
All students first take the high-speed rail that connects the school to the outside world to arrive at the Shengjing High-speed Railway Station, and then depart from here to the various mission locations.
Shengjing is very big, and the high-speed railway south station happens to be located southwest of the center of Shengjing, so it takes more than two hours to get to Louli Village in the north by car. Taking the subway requires changing many lines, not to mention the bus, which also takes more than three hours.
Fortunately, the school was very generous and said that they would reimburse everyone's travel expenses, so the four of them took a taxi directly there.
Li Ke seemed very excited and talked about various topics with Lan Yi. Liu Huaqi would also say a word or two when he was interested. Only Xi Siling spent most of his time with his eyes closed to rest.
He also implicitly advised everyone to rest for a while, but it had no effect, so he decided to rest himself.
"You are students, right? You have come all the way to a village in the suburbs. Are you art students?"
Later, it was the driver who took the initiative to ask.
The student was going to a remote place on a weekday, and the driver felt that he was very smart.
Hmm...the stereotype of art students has been deepened.
"Yes, I heard from my teacher that the scenery there is nice, so I went there to take a look." Xi Siling took over the topic very naturally, "Master, do you know anything about that place?"
The driver thought that this young man was really sensible. Nowadays, young people are unwilling to communicate with strangers, especially for online orders. Young people will even give him bad reviews out of annoyance. It must be boring for a driver to be at such a long distance and not chat with customers.
So even if he didn't know much about Louli Village, he had to pretend to know it, but he actually knew some "groundless" things.
"Oh no! Listen to my advice, you should go to another place! My second aunt's and third aunt's grandson and his family live over there! I heard that the living dead appeared over there!"
Xi Siling quietly and vigorously pulled the flesh on Li Ke's arm, and made a sound of surprise at the same time as him. Then, before Li Ke could react, he continued, "It's actually the living dead! Is that true?!"
Li Ke knew, of course, that Xi Siling wanted him to cooperate, but he still protested to Xi Siling with his eyes while hiding his face from the rearview mirror.
No! There's 77 next to you, why are you only pinching me!!!
Lan Yi was sitting in the front and could see Li Ke in the rearview mirror. He almost couldn't hold back his laughter, so he could only turn his head away, pretending to look at the scenery outside.
Liu Huaqi coughed twice and then responded.
"The living dead! Oh my god!"
It was even more exaggerated than Xi Siling's, but the driver just enjoyed the moment of shocking others with this kind of 'exclusive news'.
"It's no good for me to lie to you! My second aunt's grandson just mentioned this to me when we were drinking three nights ago. Now the villagers in Louli Village are all in danger and dare not go out at night!"
Not only at night, the living dead are not afraid of sunlight. It is obvious that there is a fabricated element in this.
Xi Siling pretended to be an ordinary person who was curious, "Master, please tell me more! I have only seen the living dead on the news!"
The master put in all his effort.
"That grandson also moved out of Louli Village temporarily with his family! This story started a long time ago!"
There was a family in the north of the village. They valued boys over girls. They had four daughters: Zhaodi, Pandi, Laidi, and Wangdi. After much difficulty, they finally gave birth to a son. But he turned out to be an idiot!
The child only learned to roll over at the age of one, and could barely walk at the age of four. He smiled foolishly and drooled all day long. The couple was in agony, but having five children in a row ruined his health. The girl was despised by the boy, who found a mistress outside. The girl then valued this idiot child more than her own life.
When this idiot grew up to be eighteen years old, he was fed by this woman and became stronger than a cow. He acted like a tyrant in the village and beat others at every turn. His fists hurt people's bodies, but if anyone was tough enough to fight back, this woman would go to the person's house and make a scene, smashing things and threatening to hang herself. The villagers were simply miserable.
Until a year ago, when the last daughter got married, the man ran away with the betrothal money and all their savings. The woman was so angry that she even showed signs of mental retardation.
She went to find several daughters to take care of her in her old age, but she didn't recognize any of them! She didn't care about her mother and brother at all, and let the men in the family kick her out.
Since then, his condition has become more serious, even to the point where he has to use a cane.
As a result, his son ran out without being watched, and fell off the bridge into the dry river below. The back of his head hit the ground and he died on the spot!
"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the idiot was sent to the crematorium by the village chief and the villagers. But everyone said that the woman went with him and stole it for her son. The living dead was her son!"
