Life in a mercenary group is dangerous, but also full of freedom. Drink today and be drunk today, with the sky as your roof and the earth as your home.
Lin Yuan likes this kind of life very much, it is both free and exciting. He can make money and travel all over Parnaki through commissions, going to one dangerous place after another.
After taking on so many commissions, Lin Yuan finally understood that the difficulty of the first commission Zhou Xun and Rong Yu took him on was basically the difference between kindergarten and university compared to the commissions they usually took on.
In addition to Zhou Xun and Rong Yu, there are two classmates in Zhou Xun's mercenary group. Like him, they are part-time mercenaries and have other full-time jobs.
One is Zhou Ruo, the chemistry representative in the class and the one in charge of treatment. It is said that she is actually Zhou Xun's cousin. The two families don't interact much. Originally, the relationship between the two siblings was not very good. It was an accident that they were assigned to the same class. But unexpectedly, after traveling through time, two people came to the old Zhou family at once. After reuniting in Parnaki, Zhou Ruo got tired of her job and simply skipped work to join Zhou Xun's mercenary group, following him around the world.
Although he is just a healer, after forming a team, most of the time Zhou Ruo's output is more than Lin Yuan, Rong Yu, and Zhou Xun.
"What did she do before?" After seeing Zhou Ruo wearing a white priest dress and holding an exquisite and beautiful staff inlaid with a small crown, with each stick she cast a "Cthulhu" (deep-sea monster), Lin Yuan fell into deep suspicion.
"The Saint of the Temple of Life." Zhou Xun said assumingly, "You can guess it by looking at the clothes she's wearing."
Lin Yuan: “I can’t guess!”
Whose saint is so violent? Aren’t the people in the Temple of Life all gentle and kind, like angels in white?
"Xiao Ruo originally wanted to major in Discipline Priest in the 'Temple of Life', but the people in the temple refused to let her go. They didn't want her to waste such a good healing talent, so they forced her to learn healing for fifty years. Didn't that drive her away? The temple used soft and hard tactics for decades before allowing her to continue to use the title of Saint. She only had to stay in the temple for two months every year to learn magic and participate in large-scale sacrifices. They didn't care where she wanted to go and have fun."
Lin Yuan: "...How good is this talent?"
Almost no one in the mercenary group was injured, so Lin Yuan rarely saw Zhou Ruo treating him. Until one day, they passed by a village that was massacred. More than 3,000 people, big and small, were killed. The souls lingered in the village for a long time because of pain and anger.
That was the first time Lin Yuan saw Zhou Ruo use healing magic. The white holy light enveloped the entire village. The wounds of all the dead people healed instantly and their souls returned to their bodies.
Only then did Lin Yuan understand why a behemoth like the "Temple of Life" also required Zhou Ruo to be tied down with the identity of a saint.
Let’s talk about another person, Chi Miaomiao, the discipline committee member of the class, a summoner and part-time mage in the mercenary group.
Chi Miaomiao was the first classmate Zhou Xun met. The reason why Zhou Xun established the mercenary group was because of her suggestion. Like Rong Yu, Chi Miaomiao was also an orc, but her status in the orc tribe seemed to be much higher than Rong Yu. Zhou Xun's reunion with Rong Yu in Parnaki was also closely related to Chi Miaomiao.
Although Chi Miaomiao has a name that means "flood", she is a person who sheds blood but not tears. She usually wears men's clothes and has a more arrogant personality than Song Mingzhe. Because of the characteristics of a summoner, she is surrounded by fur wherever she goes.
As a summoner and also a melee expert, Chi Miaomiao's biggest dream is to open the first zoo in Panaki - although the beasts on display are all powerful enough to destroy the world.
Being together with such powerful and unique teammates, quarreling and learning from each other every day, and completing commissions together... Fifty years passed in a flash, and Lin Yuan's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and the gap between him and his classmates became smaller and smaller.
But the stronger he becomes, the more empty Lin Yuan feels.
He knew that he was a conflicted person, so he tried his best to see the world and become stronger.
But even though he traveled all over Parnaki and was powerful enough to kill a monster as tall as a hill with one sword, Lin Yuan never felt truly satisfied.
——He thought that by gaining power and becoming the person he expected to be, he would be able to free himself from endless internal friction and gain true freedom.
However, as his power grew, he became more and more distant from the general public, and Lin Yuan felt a deep sense of emptiness. He began to miss San Carlos, a poor, austere, but hopeful country. He missed himself who was busy with training, giving alms, and preaching. Although his days were boring and simple, they made him feel extremely fulfilled.
Now that the dream has been fulfilled, it is time to get down to earth and settle down in life.
Lin Yuan realized that his journey had ended and it was time to embark on the next stage of his life.
So Lin Yuan said goodbye to his fellow mercenaries and returned to his hometown alone after fifty years. Fifty years passed in a flash for Lin Yuan, but it was enough for an ordinary person to go from birth to death.
The nun who adopted Lin Yuan in the past has passed away, and Lin Yuan presided over her funeral. She was buried in a cemetery full of undead flowers, and every year many people who were helped by her come to pay their respects.
Those who had formed bonds with Lin Yuan disappeared one by one in the long river of time. Even the city that was once so familiar to him lost its past appearance in the new buildings.
The city and the country are experiencing new vitality, but he is the only one still living in the past.
An old voice interrupted Lin Yuan's confusion.
"Dear Knight, where is the nearest food relief point?"
As San Carlos became more prosperous, fewer and fewer people needed to receive relief food. The old man in front of me had gray hair and a hunched back. Although he was dressed in rags, his eyes were still bright.
Lin Yuan subconsciously raised his hand and pointed to the south: "Go straight along this street to the end, turn right and you will see a church. Talk to the nun in the church and she will take you to get food."
"Thank you very much. You are such a kind-hearted knight. May the glory of the goddess bless you."
"...Praise the Goddess."
Instantly, a wonderful feeling ran through Lin Yuan's body. He felt a strong sense of joy, fulfillment and satisfaction. He seemed to have returned to himself sixty years ago when he first came to the "Temple of Disaster". He was immersed in practice all day, helping priests and nuns distribute relief food, helping disaster victims, and using his own efforts to protect this country and its people bit by bit.
Lin Yuan thought: I have found a place where I can fight for my whole life.
...
As the manager of the "time travelers", An Xueyi's authority in the "Special Events Management Bureau" is much higher than Lin Yuan's.
As one of the only five people who knew the true combat power of Lin Yuan and the other two, An Xueyi knew that Lin Yuan and the other two were the only ones who could hope to save Major Zhang, and he was also willing to do Lin Yuan a favor.
So, relying on his authority, An Xueyi quickly obtained Major Zhang's mission information and the final GPS coordinates.
"He had two missions at the beginning." An Xueyi handed the coordinates to Lin Yuan and whispered, "One is the investigation of the Dragon Tomb in City L, and the other is the mission he is carrying out now. These should have been the tasks given to the time traveler, but after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to leave the most dangerous mission to himself."
"...Thank you." Lin Yuan took the coordinates with a complicated look in his eyes: "I'll trouble you with the subsequent processing work."
The situation was urgent, and Lin Yuan had no time to chat here. After a brief handover with An Xueyi, while no one was paying attention, Lin Lang directly activated illusion and space magic to bring the three people to the coordinates.
Although space magic of non-spatial attributes is extremely difficult to master, it is very convenient to use. Some commonly used space magic, such as "space movement" or "portable space", have become the few advanced magics that everyone in Class 9 can master.
If a non-spatial attribute wants to operate space magic well, it either needs to use a large amount of magic power as support, or be very delicate in manipulating magic power. In addition to Xiao Shichuan of the space system, the ones with the highest talent in space magic are Lin Lang and Shen Qiting.
In order to prevent any deviations during the transfer that might delay the rescue, the task of taking Lin Yuan and Su Mu to the coordinate point was naturally given to Lin Lang.
After the battle with "Cthulhu" just now, the dragon in his body was summoned by the "Five-clawed Golden Dragon" and Lin Lang's magic power was already very low. Even with the continuous supply of magic power from Lin Yuan and Su Mu, after completing the magic of "space movement", Lin Lang's remaining magic power was still consumed. For the first time, his face, which was always full of smiles and spirits, showed deep fatigue. When he landed, his feet softened and he almost fell to the ground.
Lin Yuan and Su Mu quickly helped her up: "Are you okay?"
Lin Lang shook his head: "It's okay... Tsk, I haven't felt the feeling of overdrawing my magic power in hundreds of years."
She managed to cheer herself up and asked Lin Yuan and Su Mu to let go of their hands supporting her: "You two should go find someone quickly and don't waste time here. I can just rest for a while. There's nothing for you to worry about me."
As a "spiritual" magician, Lin Lang is best at spiritual magic and illusion. However, with his exquisite magic control, Lin Lang is almost a jack of all trades in the class, and can play a few tricks on any magic. Putting aside these, Lin Lang is also one of the best players in the class in close combat. Unless in places full of water elements such as oceans and lakes, Lin Lang's comprehensive combat ability is the strongest among the three.
The two people who knew Lin Lang's abilities knew that they didn't need to worry about Lin Lang, so they nodded, one flew south and the other flew west, towards the only two signal sources captured by the authorities. At the same time, they released their mental power with all their strength, exploring the surroundings with themselves as the center, not missing any corner.
Soon, Lin Yuan caught sight of Major Zhang in the jungle to the west.
Unlike the always serious and stern man in his memory, the Major Zhang in front of him was in a very disheveled state, covered in blood. He looked like he had experienced an explosion, and the exposed skin was covered in blood and flesh, obviously suffering considerable injuries.
But he still walked forward stubbornly, even though his steps were staggering, his face was pale, and his eyes were gradually becoming dull.
Major Zhang's life was slipping away at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Yuan didn't care about exposing his identity and jumped down from the air.
The familiar figure that suddenly appeared in front of him caused Major Zhang's confused mind to pause for a moment. He stared at Lin Yuan for a long time before he barely recognized that this was the subordinate he was in charge of, the "traveler" Lin Yuan.
But...why is he here now?
This question was beyond the scope of what Major Zhang could think about now. His exhausted body could no longer support his actions. Major Zhang maintained his forward posture and fell straight forward.
Lin Yuan quickly caught the person. Lin Yuan had learned some simple healing techniques from Zhou Ruo before, and now they came in handy.
Unlike Zhou Ruo's healing magic that can replenish vitality, Lin Yuan's healing magic is only effective for wounds. Fortunately, Major Zhang's will is strong enough, and even if he loses too much blood, his vitality is still very strong.
With the infusion of healing magic and magic, Major Zhang's complexion quickly improved. He groaned in pain and opened his eyes again.
"...Lin Yuan?" Major Zhang asked hoarsely, in disbelief: "Why are you here..."
Without waiting for Lin Yuan to answer, he grabbed Lin Yuan's hand and said, "Where's your communication equipment? Contact the organization immediately. I have important information to share... cough cough cough!"
A violent cough temporarily interrupted Major Zhang's words, and Su Mu's voice sounded at the same time: "We found Major Zhang's team members. Two were seriously injured and seven were killed."
"Major Zhang, calm down first!" Lin Yuan comforted Major Zhang while speaking through the private channel: "Contact Xiao Shichuan and ask him to bring Zhou Ruo here. Maybe there is still hope!"
"Zhou Ruo is already here." Su Mu's voice was filled with deep regret: "They cannot be resurrected."
"Why? "
"Their souls disappeared." Zhou Ruo's voice interrupted the conversation between the two: "The reason why Parnaki's resurrection technique is effective is that the soul will not disappear with the death of the body, and the magic power will maintain its spiritual form. Through the resurrection technique, as long as the body is not completely decayed, it can be resurrected through the resurrection technique."
"But the Earth has magic now, right?" Lin Yuan didn't understand: "Even if these soldiers can't use magic, the concentration of magic nearby can stabilize their souls for a short period of time, right?"
"Unfortunately, no." Zhou Ruo sighed: "The soul of the earth is a little special. I went to the hospital to observe before. After everyone dies, the soul will completely disappear the moment it leaves the body. But unlike the soul that dissipates when the Parna gene power is lost, the way the soul of the earth disappears is like——"
"——Reincarnation?" Lin Yuan and Su Mu said in unison.
Zhou Ruo said: "That's right."
Su Mu murmured: "The underworld doesn't really exist, does it?"
"Not really. The difference should come from the 'characteristics' of the Earth itself. Unfortunately, I cannot determine the cause with my current strength." Zhou Ruo said regretfully.
"...I understand." Lin Yuan said.
Su Mu was a little worried: "Lin Yuan, are you okay?"
As a Templar Knight, Lin Yuan has always been the softest-hearted person among all of them. To be cold-blooded, the sacrifice of seven soldiers is not a big deal for the students of Class 9 who are used to seeing life and death. They have experienced several major wars and seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Their long lives have allowed them to witness the departure of countless friends, and they have long been numb to life and death.
Only Lin Yuan, just like his identity as a "guardian knight", has been fighting for others for nearly four hundred years. Even after joining the mercenary group, he has never stopped protecting others. The passing of any life will make him sad and disappointed. Although his classmates occasionally tease him as the "First Holy Father of Parnaki", they also know clearly how important it is to be able to maintain one's original heart in a world where strength is respected.
Especially since the victims this time were people familiar to Lin Yuan, the team Major Zhang was in. Even if this incident had nothing to do with Lin Yuan from beginning to end, he would still fall into self-blame for a long time.
"...Su Mu, have you found out the reason why those soldiers died?" After a moment, Lin Yuan's voice sounded again.
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "It's a pitcher plant. They probably mistook it for a variant of the pitcher plant and accidentally caused a fire when handling it... Damn it, why did the monster from Parnagi appear on Earth!"
At this moment, Major Zhang, who had finally recovered his breath, grabbed Lin Yuan's hand tightly, pretending to be calm and quickly told Lin Yuan the information: "...We were attacked by mutant pitcher plants while investigating the local mutation situation. When we fired, it caused an explosion. The digestive fluid in the mutant's pocket is suspected to have evolved into □□, and it is immune to explosions. It used the explosion to attack the injured team members, I..." Major Zhang took a deep breath, suppressed his grief and continued: "Because of the protection of his teammates, the injuries were minor, and he fled the scene in the chaos. The other members of the team are currently unknown. Please organize a rescue and send someone to recover the mutant."
Major Zhang showed a look that was both sad and relieved, as if he had guessed the sacrifice of his team members. He also had a faint expectation and deep relief: his team's sacrifice was not in vain, and this precious information was finally passed on to his superiors through Lin Yuan - they made a small contribution to the future of mankind.
Major Zhang's hopeful gaze burned Lin Yuan's heart, leaving him with mixed emotions.
Lin Yuan blurted out with strong emotions: "That is the Magic Cage Grass, a monster from Parnaki. The bottle contains high-purity magic essence. Once it is impacted or touches the fire element, it will explode."
The Magic Cage is a very famous plant-shaped monster in Parnagi. It gathers magic essence in its pocket to attract foreign tribes, and then hunts them when they are collecting magic essence. The Magic Cage itself has strong fire immunity and toughness, so it is not afraid of explosion damage. Although the explosion of magic essence is not as strong as that of the □□, it has a very terrible killing power because of its own fire attribute magic penetration.
However, magic essence is a good material for making potions or practicing, so even though collecting magic essence is very dangerous, adventurers still flock to it. Currently, if you want to be able to collect magic cage grass safely, you must at least reach the level of an intermediate wizard.
For people at the level of the Class 9 students, the danger level of the Magic Cage Plant is not much different from that of other higher-level plant-shaped monsters. It is just a comparison between level 50 and level 70 when the maximum level is 1,000. Therefore, they naturally think that those "travelers" must have heard of plant-shaped monsters of this level and reported them to the authorities early on, but they forget that even a level 50 elite monster is not a level that the "travelers" of level 20 or 30 can encounter.
...
Major Zhang stared blankly at the boy in front of him. For a moment, he felt that there was something wrong with his language comprehension system. He could understand every word Lin Yuan said, but when they were put together, his brain went blank.
...What do you mean? He already knew the information we risked our lives to obtain?
If I had asked him before carrying out the mission, or let Lin Yuan and the others take over the task...would the result today be completely different?
Nine living names, nine brothers who lived and died with him...
After a long while, Major Zhang finally squeezed out an unbelievable sentence through trembling teeth: "...You know?"
Lin Yuan lowered his eyes, suddenly not daring to look directly into Major Zhang's eyes.
Major Zhang didn't notice the change in Lin Yuan's expression at this moment. He sat on the ground and muttered to himself: "You know... Since you knew, why didn't you tell us this information earlier..."
He raised his hand and suddenly slapped himself in the face. After a crisp sound, five clear finger marks were left on Major Zhang's right cheek.
"If only I had asked you earlier... If only I had been more careful before giving the order..."
Major Zhang covered his face with his hands, and two lines of tears quietly slid down from his palms.
Men don't cry easily, but reality easily shattered his fantasy. All their efforts and sacrifices were not worth a casual word from the time traveler.
The taut string deep in his brain suddenly snapped. Major Zhang sat on the ground leaning against the tree roots, his eyes helpless and full of despair. He murmured, "Lin Yuan, can you tell me... are ordinary people like us who have not been 'chosen' really qualified to survive in the end times?"
"Actually, I..."
Major Zhang did not hear Lin Yuan's answer. The double collapse of his mind and body made him faint. The young officer who was full of vigor and vitality a few days ago now looked so haggard that he seemed to have aged twenty years.
In the silent forest, Lin Yuan silently raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the cheek.
"...What on earth am I doing?"
...
The people sent by An Xueyi to pick them up quickly took away the injured and sacrificed soldiers. Su Mu also subdued the magic cage grass that caused the accident, and took away the magic essence that could cause an explosion at any time, and handed it over to the soldiers who came to pick them up.
For some reason, Su Mu did not hide his presence from the soldiers, which surprised An Xueyi, who was in L City but had been paying attention to the scene.
After watching the soldiers leave, Su Mu returned directly to Lin Yuan. Lin Lang, who had separated from them, had rejoined the team. The two of them stood by a tree, each with an eerie calmness in the air, as if waiting for some opportunity to break it.
"Su Mu is here?" Lin Lang glanced at him and stood up straight. "Since he is here, Lin Yuan, don't be so shy. I know you have something to say to us. Why should you hesitate in front of us?"
Lin Lang's words did not make Su Mu show any surprise or curiosity, as if he had already guessed what would happen next.
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly, somewhat helplessly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you guys."
They know each other so well that they can guess each other's thoughts with just a glance.
"I..." Lin Yuan clenched his hands tremblingly at his sides, and his eyes gradually became firm: "I want to reveal my identity."
Lin Lang and Su Mu did not say anything, but just looked at him quietly, as if they wanted to observe whether he was acting impulsively or thinking it over carefully.
Lin Yuan didn't dare to look at his companions. He lowered his head to hide the embarrassment that flashed across his eyes, but he was still stubborn and unwilling to let go: "During this period of time, I have been dreaming over and over again about the time when I first arrived in Parnaki. From the initial time travel to the four hundred years of life in Parnaki, I have actually never seen clearly what I really want. I once thought that as long as I could catch up with you and become as good as you, I could get rid of internal friction and have a real "self", so I desperately pursued power and strength. I thought that as long as I witnessed enough scenery, I could soothe the anxiety in my heart. But when I really did all this, I only felt endless emptiness."
"I thought I was pursuing a peaceful life again, so I chose to return to San Carlos, to the 'Temple of Disaster', and continue my duty as a knight. The peaceful life there did make me feel at ease, but it also made me give up thinking. It took me four hundred years to finally realize that I just couldn't enjoy a smooth life with peace of mind. I always want to do something to prove my worth, to prove that I am qualified to have all this. But this qualification should not rely on strength or identity. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Before the world recognizes my existence, shouldn't I do something for others and for the world?"
"Lin Lang, Su Mu, I don't expect you to understand me, but I really don't want to see others sacrificed because of my selfishness. I obviously have the power and knowledge. I can help them avoid countless risks and make further progress in their research on magic... Ouwena said before that disclosure will bring a lot of trouble. Yes, that's true. But is there really only one solution? I just gave up thinking and gave up looking for a third way... I never want to see those sacrifices that should have been avoided. When I have the ability but do nothing, I should be responsible for everyone's sacrifice."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and finally said, "Sorry, I...decided to reveal my identity."
"Are you done?" Lin Lang crossed his arms and looked at him.
"...ah?"
Before Lin Yuan could recover from Lin Lang's reaction, a head bang hit him on the forehead: "Why are you arguing with me for such a small matter? Isn't it just revealing your identity? What is there to be sorry about?"
"Oh, sorry." Su Mu smiled at Lin Yuan: "I have already exposed myself a little in front of those soldiers in advance. I am really sorry for getting ahead of you~"
Lin Yuan stared at the two of them blankly: "You..."
"Isn't it great to find something you want to do?" Lin Lang said with a smile, "Just do whatever you want to do boldly. If the sky falls, Teacher Rui will hold it up for us. Have the twenty-five of us lived for five hundred years in vain? Can't I even cover you for this?"
"You were angry before when I called you a nosy person." Su Mu pointed and said, "But what are you going to do after you reveal your identity? You are not going to introduce Yu Zhi's sect into China, are you?"
"Didn't Bai Luo mention the 'Foundation' before?" Lin Yuan said, "If possible, I would like to establish a similar organization on the high seas and cooperate with the Chinese authorities to contain all the mutants in China first."
Su Mu nodded in agreement: "That's good. I thought you really wanted to be Yu Zhi's guardian knight for life and become an ascetic monk."
"Since you have made up your mind, I will reveal our identities with you." Lin Lang said indifferently: "Anyway, the authorities will not expose our existence directly to the public. We just need to register our names with the authorities first. It's not a big deal."
"You don't have to be like this..."
"Don't be so hypocritical." Lin Lang said, "It will be made public sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."
"It seems like you've almost finished talking." A portal suddenly appeared beside the three of them. Rui Hang half-stuck out of it and waved at them: "Let's go back to the classroom first. We should have another class meeting."
...
Zhizhi hung down a branch from above the classroom and obediently put the chalk into Rui Hang's hands.
Rui Hang turned around and wrote a line of big characters on the blackboard: Class 9, Grade 2, Class Meeting No. 24507
After finishing writing on the blackboard, Rui Hang turned around, placed his hands on both sides of the podium, and said loudly: "Student Lin Yuan has finished speaking on the topic of this class meeting."
Lin Yuan: "...You guys, are you hiding in the classroom to listen to my live broadcast?"
"Ever since Zhou Ruo was dragged away to rescue people, we have all guessed your plan." Ou Wenna held her chin with one hand and said lazily, "You have been entangled in these things for hundreds of years. Even a fool knows what you will do."
Lin Yuan: “…”
"It's rare for you to do this kind of self-analysis, how can we miss it?" Bai Luo smiled with a bit of pride: "My suggestions for your 'Foundation' are pretty good, right? From now on, call me 'The Lighthouse of Life'~"
After being teased by Bai Luo, and seeing that his classmates did not show any displeasure, Lin Yuan's anxiety finally disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, and talked to Bai Luo as usual: "Don't be a lighthouse, I'm thankful that you are not a time bomb in my life."
"Currently, the three people in our class who have confirmed their identities are Lin Yuan, Su Mu, and Lin Lang. Is there anyone else who wants to reveal their identities with them?"
Several hands were about to be raised when Ou Wenna said, "Teacher Rui, I suggest that only the three of them reveal their identities for the time being, and the others wait and see, and wait until the right time to reveal their identities."
Rui Hang nodded: "Tell me what you think."
"In fact, after the three of them were exposed, it was not difficult to infer that all the members of our class were 'travelers' through the activity tracks and contacts of Lin Yuan and the other two." Ou Wenna analyzed: "Since Su Mu deliberately exposed his specialness in front of the official personnel, our class will immediately be included in the suspect and monitoring list. This is unavoidable. I said before that the reason why I don't want to disclose my identity immediately is because disclosing my identity will bring a series of troublesome follow-ups. But since this matter is unavoidable, we have to consider how to avoid risks to the greatest extent possible and let the official maintain a relaxed and cautious attitude towards us."
"My idea is to let Lin Yuan and the other two serve as our class's window to the authorities, and to express our attitude through them. At the same time, we will actively guide the authorities to doubt our class, but we will neither admit that we are time travelers nor deny our identities. After Lin Yuan and the others have completed the establishment of the "Foundation", we will hide our identities and participate in the activities of the "Foundation", use magic to make the authorities misjudge our actual number of people, and directly show our true strength to the authorities in disguise. In this way, for the authorities, our class is the biggest time bomb. They cannot lock our specific identities through the activities of the "Foundation", and the more "unknown" our identities are, the greater the deterrent effect on the authorities..."
Ouwena elaborated on her thoughts in detail. Her plan was not complicated - she would take the initiative to tell others: We have bombs here, three in total, but there are 21 more of the same type, but some are duds and some are genuine. Then she would deliberately let a few of them explode, thus conveying a wrong message: We have four more bombs that will explode, and as for who will explode, she would find clues on her own, and one of them might have a particularly bad temper.
To this end, the authorities had to spend a lot of time secretly investigating their every move, and the students could also hide their identities and positions in Parnaqui to the greatest extent. This kind of mysterious method, in addition to being a deterrent, can also minimize the officials' vigilance against their class - after all, only when there is a dud in the bomb will they use mysterious methods to confuse others' judgment.
Lin Yuan and the other two showed their best efforts to the authorities, which would prevent them from immediately coming into conflict with them and forcing them to reveal their identities. As long as time was delayed long enough, the students' strength would be restored to the greatest extent.
When they are powerful enough, no one in this world can do anything to them.
At the same time, once the identities of Lin Yuan and the other two are exposed, they will definitely be noticed by other countries, and then the families of all of them may be in danger. While the authorities are monitoring them, they will also protect their families.
After Owena put forward her proposal, the students expressed their opinions one after another, enriched the plan, or pointed out the problems.
Rui Hang patiently listened to the students' analysis and discussion, nodding and smiling from time to time to show his agreement. Obviously, Rui Hang had already had a solution, but rather than making a unilateral decision, Rui Hang preferred to put the matter in front of everyone and let the students discuss the solution together, while he stood behind and made adjustments to the overall framework and details to prevent the students from straying from the right path or having blind spots when thinking.
The twenty-four people in Class Nine are all talented individuals. If they do not have a fair and open environment and only follow their own ideas, it will turn into a situation where no one will submit to anyone else and they will eventually form cliques and factions.
Only when everyone participates in the decision-making discussion will the decision be recognized by everyone and better implemented.
Unless the class was arguing over something and no conclusion could be reached, Rui Hang would forcefully suppress all voices, directly put a final conclusion on the incident or specify a solution, leaving no room for students to struggle.
Rui Hang's eyes slowly swept across the class: "Then let's vote - based on the action plan proposed by Ou Wenna, students who are still hesitant or opposed to the plan, please raise your hands."
The class was silent.
"Then please raise your hands if you agree with the plan and its implementation."
Twenty-four hands were raised in unison.
Rui Hang nodded with satisfaction, and the decision was finalized.
"The plan was approved."
