Chapter 183
Suspicious and cautious people will not easily believe what strangers say, but they tend to trust the answers they infer through observation.
Therefore, Lu Jiamu was not afraid that he would think too much and try hard. The more he thought, the more misled he would be. He was just afraid that he would be simple-minded and would just act without thinking. If that happened, their relationship would be completely strained, and there would be no room for recovery.
Seeing that the bald man seemed to have sorted out his thoughts, Lu Jiamu raised his chin and nodded at him: "I have finished speaking. Do you understand?"
The bald man originally intended to listen carefully to what rules he had to follow, but he didn't expect the other party's next sentence to be like this.
Whenever I speak, he says he hasn't finished what he wants to say, which makes him say he has nothing to say again.
It is obvious that this is a malicious suppression and humiliation of him, an attempt to bully him.
What a fucking cheap little bastard.
This undoubtedly angered the bald man again. The bald man stopped talking and slowly stood up. The murderous look in his eyes became even stronger. The hostility in his body seemed to be about to materialize and seemed to be ready to explode at any time and wrap Lu Jiamu up and crush him.
The situation is tense and conflict is imminent.
There were five or six people behind him who moved slightly forward. As long as the bald man made a move, they would definitely rush over to help like a pack of hyenas.
But facing his increasingly ferocious aura, Lu Jiamu did not show any sign of dodging. Instead, his expression became increasingly cold, as if his patience was about to run out.
This ambiguous attitude made the bald man suddenly choose to continue to hide between trying his best and taking a risk.
The bald man suddenly grinned, as if he just wanted to stand up and stretch, and then winked at the person behind him: "Yes. I understand."
The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed, and the five or six people who had just stepped forward nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood.
These people are members of a gang, or they are the core members whose interests are most closely tied to the gang. Lu Jiamu silently memorized the appearance of these people in his heart.
Seeing the bald man retreat, Lu Jiamu sneered to express his contempt.
After this complete show of force, the bald man acted like a lot of noise but little action, and his bottom line kept being lowered, but he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction at all. On the one hand, it shows that Lu Jiamu was pretending to be quite serious in his heart, and on the other hand, it shows that although the bald man may not completely believe in the new identity Lu Jiamu gave him, he still has a certain degree of obedience.
The bald man waited for a moment, and when he saw that Lu Jiamu really had nothing to say, he rubbed his hands, lowered his posture and began to coax him: "We are just some ordinary residents. We would never dare to deliberately delay your time or deceive you. We do have fifteen passes here, but now some inexplicable and irrelevant people have sneaked in and want to disrupt the audition. Can you please show some mercy and not implicate us with these irrelevant people?"
Lu Jiamu glanced at him without saying anything, but just stretched out his hand and waved at him.
The bald man immediately understood that he wanted to see the pass, and reached out from his tattered underwear to take out an exquisite mechanical box. Without deliberately avoiding Lu Jiamu, he fiddled with it carefully.
Lu Jiamu waited impatiently without saying anything.
The bald man looked up at him to see his reaction, then smiled again, twisted the box one last time to open it, took out an electronic hand card from the secret compartment, held it with both hands and slightly moved it forward, with an ambiguous smile on his sloppy face: "Sir, we all listen to you. Whatever you say is what I dare not object."
Although the bald man appeared respectful and obedient, his outstretched hands were quite scheming.
It was just right for Lu Jiamu to see clearly, and he was actively handing it to Lu Jiamu, so it didn't seem insincere. But there was also a distance, so if Lu Jiamu really wanted to take it, he could immediately push it back and protect it, which was the essence of false politeness.
The bald man carefully concealed his malice and looked timid, but in fact he was carefully observing Lu Jiamu's every move and every expression.
Taking out the pass and placing it in front of the other party was a test on his part.
If Lu Jiamu was really a public official with a certain say in the Black Tower as he had shown before, then he would not be very interested in a small pass, and might even completely look down on such an item that was a matter of life and death for their small residents.
On the other hand, if he was just an abandoned child of a research institute and now came here to pretend to be the big shot, then he would certainly behave in the opposite way. He would be thinking about the pass and might even take the pass by taking advantage of his position.
If he dared to really take the pass, or showed any sign of longing, the bald man would immediately turn against him and attack him.
The bald man's fake and protective look was too obvious, and Lu Jiamu found his little thoughts a little funny.
This was the first time that Lu Jiamu saw what others called a pass. There was a small screen on the card showing a countdown, emitting a faint blue light, which should be related to when they were going to "immigrate" to other worlds.
After taking a look, Lu Jiamu turned his eyes away naturally, without lingering on the electronic cards for too long. His face remained calm, but he seemed quite satisfied with the bald man's obedience, and his expression relaxed a little.
Lu Jiamu waved his hand and slapped the bald man's waving hand away: "I don't want to watch this."
Then he smiled maliciously and asked, "So what you mean is that you all gathered here to compete for the last fifteen places, but I came too early and you haven't finished competing yet?"
Lu Jiamu's nonchalant attitude made the bald man trust him 80%. He nodded slightly and said, "You know, everyone wants to go in. But now that you are here, whether to go or stay will definitely depend on your decision."
Lu Jiamu pretended to think for a moment, his expression gradually became excited, and suddenly pointed at the survivors and said happily: "Our institute has existed for many years, and has always adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest. Only the strong are worthy of survival, and the weak are useless even if they enjoy the resources, and should be abandoned. So today I don’t care who among you has a pass, I just want to take away the strongest fifteen of you."
The bald man remained silent cautiously.
What he said was correct. Everyone present agreed with this truth and has been adhering to it.
They originally gathered here for a final fight, so there is nothing to say about the winners and losers.
But if there is no fighting, then what is the basis for distinguishing the strength of them? Fighting skills? Tricks and strategies? Or the level of supernatural powers?
There is no one who is not excellent who has survived to this day, but everyone has different strengths. If life and death are decided based on some quantitative indicators, who can accept it?
Especially someone like Baldy who already has an admission ticket in his hand.
"We were born in a world full of weirdness, and the new world we are about to explore in the future may not be better than this one. Many weirdnesses have their own rules, so the ability to break through the rules and win is what we value most now. This requires a certain amount of intelligence, force, and luck."
Lu Jiamu continued, "So I want you to participate in a game I designed. You must strictly abide by my rules and use the fairest judgment criteria. In the end, only fifteen of the thirty of you will survive. The survivors will be the ones with the strongest comprehensive abilities. What do you think?"
