The mental barrier covering the primeval forest switched between red and purple, because the mental power of Time and Azel were evenly matched and neither could overpower the other.
The other candidates hiding in various places looked at the sky in shock, curious about which two big guys were competing in mental strength here. This operation stunned everyone.
The chestnut-haired Omega looked at the mental barrier in confusion and asked his companion, "What is this? Is this a new rule? I don't think this barrier existed just now."
His companion, a buzz-cut Alpha, responded to his question with an impatient tone, "Are you stupid? It's obvious that someone is using psychic power on a large scale to monitor us. If you don't understand this, you're such an idiot!"
The Omega lowered his head awkwardly, looking embarrassed, and tugged at the corner of his clothes. "I'm sorry, I get it."
The Alpha's brows were furrowed tightly. The discomfort of being under someone else's scrutiny made him feel like he was in a state of depression. He tugged at the Omega fiercely, "What are you standing there for? Let's go."
The Omega lowered his head timidly, not daring to say a word even though he was hurt by the pulling.
The battle between Shi Nian and Azel ended in a draw. The two's mental powers mixed together, jointly monitoring the area while hiding their positions from each other.
Kanat stared at the barrier, which was a mixture of purple and red spiritual energy, in amazement. He patted Shi Nian's shoulder and said, "Too strong! As long as you can survive Azel and seize the surveillance rights, we will definitely find them and kill them one by one."
The group of people from the university department don’t have any powerful offensive weapons, but they have guns. As long as we can find their whereabouts, there is no doubt that we can kill them.
"No, I can't hold on for much longer." Shi Nian broke his illusion and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "My mental power can easily get out of control. Azel's control over mental power is better than mine. I can't outlast him."
Although Shi Nian's mental power is much more stable than when he was a child, it is still not easy to control, and his physique cannot support the release of mental power for a long time.
Kanat rotated the small ball of spiritual power he had conjured up in his hands like a Buddhist rosary, frowning. "Then what should we do? Once Azel takes control of this area, we'll be exposed. If he brings his dinosaurs to siege us, we're doomed."
"I can't help it. I can only hold out for two days at most. After that, all monitoring rights will be transferred to Azel." Shi Nian sighed, his hand resting on his chin. "We can only finish the game within two days, otherwise we will definitely lose."
Kanat was ready to go, "Okay, let's go kill some people now, watch me help you kill people."
"Wait." Shi Nian hurriedly stopped him, "Let's wait first. Wait until Brother Erich and the others help us kill someone, then we can go and kill them."
Free labor, it’s a waste if you don’t use it.
Kanat hesitated, "Kill Erich? I can't bring myself to do it."
Shi Nian offered a solution with a kind heart, "It's okay, you can hold him down and I'll kill him."
Kanat: “…”
Well, so brutal!
Kanet's fragile little heart has been hit hard repeatedly since it followed Shi Nian into this arena, and the initial shock has gradually become numb.
Shi Nian is very aware of the slightest movement in this area. Except for being unsure of Azel's exact location, he knows everything about other people's actions.
Following Erich's trail, Shi Nian and Kanate hid not far from them, watching through the leaves as Erich and Pei Minran harvested heads very quickly.
The intelligent computer on Shi Nian's wrist now only has the function of displaying the number of people. Seeing the number of people on it rapidly dropping from several thousand, he knew that it must be Azel's tactic of defeating them one by one that took effect.
But it did save him a lot of effort, as he didn't have to do it himself.
Erich slashed the last candidate's neck with a sharp piece of iron, picked up the fallen gun, and said in a relaxed tone, "Ranran, I suddenly found this game quite fun."
Pei Minran glanced at him and said, "It's easier to have fun when faced with an absolute crush of strength. These students are just too weak."
Erich raised the corner of his lips, his blue-dyed hair swishing in the air. "Let's go find the next group of people."
"Wait..." Pei Minran frowned and looked around, "Something doesn't feel right."
Shi Nian, who was hiding in the woods, raised his gun and aimed at Erich's heart, but the next second Pei Minran looked in his direction.
Shi Nian was shocked. What a sharp insight.
He quickly changed his target and shot Pei Minran without hesitation before he noticed him.
"Bang!"
The gunshot scared away the small herbivorous dinosaurs nearby.
Erich was shocked and bewildered, "Of course..."
Pei Minran stared blankly at the wound on his chest, and finally realized the presence of Shi Nian. He looked at Shi Nian on the tree, and the latter greeted him with a smile and mouthed.
——Brother Ranran, goodbye!
Pei Minran smiled, his lips curled up, "Amazing, little Niannian, you know how to be a yellow bird."
Before his figure disappeared, Pei Minran said to the stunned Erich, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Run!"
Erich watched Pei Minran dissipate into starlight and exit the virtual space. His wildly beating heart could not calm down for a long time. He knew that his thoughts were hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Erich was wary of his surroundings and stepped back. "Little Niannian, can't you be nice to your brother? You're scaring me like this."
Shi Nian put down his gun, knowing that there was no chance that his sneak attack would succeed without Erich noticing, so he simply appeared in front of Erich, "Brother Erich, you..."
But Erich had no intention of reminiscing with him at all. The moment he and Kanet came out, he ran away and disappeared in a flash.
Shi Nian blinked blankly.
"Look at how scared you are! My baby's face has turned pale." Kanat was heartbroken and squatted on the side, poking at the grass on the ground in frustration. "He must hate me to death."
Erich managed to escape and brought back the news that Shi Nian was ambushing them to the main force. He took a few deep breaths with lingering fear, "That little guy has become very scary now. One shot and one kill. But Ezel, why didn't you tell us?"
A screen floated in front of Ezel, marked with many moving red dots. The faint blue light illuminated his deep and three-dimensional facial features, and his sharp eyes were a little gentle at this moment.
Azel's voice was low and hoarse. "Little Rose also has surveillance rights in this area. I can't detect his movements."
"It's obvious that Little Rose's plan is to reap the benefits, so it's best not to go alone. If you fight alone, you are no match for him."
Enoch and his friends have been in the same class with Shi Nian for several years. They know that Shi Nian is extremely strong in close combat and long-range sniping, so they will not take it lightly.
"Canat accidentally entered the stadium, and the school asked us to deal with him as soon as possible." Ezel's eyes were impatient and his voice was cold. "He's in the way..."
Erich raised his hand dejectedly. "Canat and Xiao Niannian are together. I just saw them."
"Canat is with Little Rose?" Ezel frowned, his tone suddenly becoming unfriendly, "Go kill him."
Time thoughts can escape Azel's surveillance, but Kanat cannot.
In just one day, they experienced five or six chases, and each time Enoch and his team were able to accurately find their hiding place.
But time thoughts can also monitor their actions and run away before they arrive. Neither side can gain any benefit and no one can do anything to the other.
That afternoon, Enoch and Bai Zemo found Kanet under the guidance of Azer. Two Allosaurus blocked Kanet's way. A dragonfly bionic man stood on the head of the Allosaurus in mid-air, and his red eyes looked at him calmly.
Kanat, seemingly cornered, acted like a complete wreck, sitting down on the ground. "Alright, just kill me! This game isn't fun at all. Let me quit!"
"Where's Xiao Niannian? Where is he?" Bai Zemo didn't let his guard down, always paying attention to any movement around him. "Is he ambushing us?"
Enoch slowly approached Kanet, and seeing that he had no weapons in his hands, he felt relieved. He took out a shovel and pointed it at Kanet's neck, "Okay, then..." See you later.
"drop--"
The dragonfly bionic man that was originally flying in the air was tightly grasped by the sudden appearance of time thought, flying around in the air in a chaotic manner, trying to throw the person on it off.
Shi Nian pursed his lips, clamped his legs around the android's waist, tightly wrapped one arm around its neck, and clenched the other hand into a fist, hitting the back of the android's neck hard.
Under his continuous hammering, the outer layer broke open, revealing the circuit.
A triumphant smile flashed across Shi Nian's eyes. He quickly severed the circuit, and the core energy source could no longer supply energy to the various parts of the bionic man. The bionic man's eyes, which were flashing red, dimmed, and he fell down very quickly.
Shi Nian's hand was placed behind its neck, and a steady stream of mental power flowed into the bionic man's body, replacing the core energy source of the semi-bionic man's mental power.
The dragonfly bionic man flew up again. This time, he no longer struggled and obediently carried the thought of time. The Allosaurus controlled by him suddenly jumped up and bit his companion.
"Oh my god!" Kanate saw a big foot stepping down towards him. He reacted quickly, rolled on the ground, and shouted into the air, "Niannian! Save me!"
Enoch was also anxious to avoid it and had no extra energy to stop it. He could only watch as Time Mind controlled the bionic man to take Kanet away.
The thought of time made Kanat hold on to the android's legs tightly. The dragonfly android was having a hard time carrying two people and was swaying all the time.
"Hello~" Shi Nian greeted his two friends while lying on the back of the android, smiling sweetly, "Did you miss me?"
Enoch was slapped by the rebellious Allosaurus's tail and gasped, clutching his chest. "That's so unfair! How could you steal our dragon?!"
Bai Zemo smiled warmly, "I miss you. Be good, my dear Nian Nian. Please return our dragon to us."
The only weapons with a bit of lethality in their hands are these dragons. They can't just go and fight the examinees with shovels. What Shi Nian has snatched away are their lives.
Shi Nian smiled harmlessly and waved to them, "No, you are my dragon now. Goodbye, brothers~"
The next second, the Allosaurus attacked Bai Zemo and Enoch, while the other one had no idea of betrayal in its mind. It just stared blankly at its "companion" killing its "companion", and then staggered away.
Bai Zemo and Enoch were eliminated.
When the news reached Azel, it took him a few seconds to understand what Shi Nian was doing. He chuckled, "Cut off the core circuit and directly control the android? You're worthy of being that, Little Rose."
Azel looked at the green mark that was moving away without panicking. He thought that the whereabouts of the android would most likely be synchronized to his intelligent brain. If he took the android away, his own tracks would be exposed.
But the green mark in the picture disappeared after flashing for two seconds - the bionic man was destroyed.
Ezer was stunned for a moment, and a slow laugh escaped from his throat.
It was late at night, and the pitch-black environment gave Shi Nian and Kanate some room to breathe. After destroying the bionic man, they could only walk on their feet.
After running all day, Kanat felt like his bones were about to fall apart. He leaned tiredly against a tree trunk and said, "This is the first time, the first time Erich chased me so passionately. I have no regrets in my death."
Shi Nian confirmed that Azel's group was not nearby, and his tense nerves relaxed. He sat on a branch and panted, "Azel must know our plan. They are now splitting into two groups, hunting us and killing the other candidates at the same time."
Shi Nian glanced at the current number of survivors, there were only more than two hundred people left.
The final result will be out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Shi Nian glanced at the mental barrier in the sky, her rosy lips slightly pursed. Azel's mental power was now gradually expanding, and he had to end the game as soon as possible.
“Ahhh, help—!”
In the pale moonlight, Shi Nian saw a group of examinees fleeing in panic as they were chased by an Allosaurus. He winked at Kanate, who sighed, stood up, jumped, and sat down on a tree farther away.
The Allosaurus are controlled by the dragonfly androids hovering in the air. The androids cannot detect the existence of time and thought, so the Allosaurus naturally will not attack time and thought.
Now there are only two Allosauruses left. Shi Nian looked at the dragonfly bionic man flapping its wings and flying, preparing to find an angle to pounce on it again. But now, he has to wait for the Allosauruses to help him clear the number of people.
This team consisted of only twelve or thirteen people, and they were vulnerable to the attack of the brutal monster.
Soon, only a few of the dozen or so people in the team were left struggling to survive. Among them, the tall and big Alpha seemed to be unable to dodge and was hit by the powerful tail of the Allosaurus, falling heavily on the tree trunk.
That sound hurts just listening to it.
Shi Nian clicked his tongue and shook his head, then took out the sweet fruit and started eating it. He felt a little hungry just by looking at him.
Omega's fair and clean little face was covered with gray and white spots, and his clothes were scratched by branches while he was running. His porcelain-white skin looked particularly dazzling against the black fabric, like a poor little thing in distress.
He was holding a red fruit in his hand, eating it in small bites. His rosy lips were dyed even redder by the bright red juice.
【Hmm...maternal love has become somewhat corrupted.】
[How can you be so pretty, my baby! And so cute, ahhhh, I'm so jealous!]
[Why? I've already seen him kill a kid with one knife, but I still think he's so cute. Waaaaaah, am I hopeless?]
How could he use this innocent, harmless face to scheme against others? Who are you trying to charm with this subtle contrast?!
【……】
Different people have different perceptions of what they see. In the eyes of the old father outside the screen, it is just a pitiful and miserable little Omega who is starving and can only eat fruits to fill his stomach. He is as pitiful as can be.
Yu Luhan looked at Shi Yiyu with his eyes filled with heartache, and said to Shi Yiyu, "Since you knew in advance that he wanted to participate in the league, you should have stopped him. Look, the child doesn't even have anything to eat now..."
Shi Yiyu glanced at him with her sharp eyes, "Are you blaming me?"
"You misunderstood, I didn't." Yu Luhan denied it very quickly and sighed, "I just don't want the child to suffer. Our child is a weak little Omega, with a frail body. Look at him, he's hungry now and doesn't even have anything to eat. It's too pitiful."
Shi Yiyu was at a loss for words as she listened to his words. "...Are you sure our child is weak?"
Yu Luhan seemed to be selectively blind. He could only see Shi Nian crying and eating fruit, but could not see him decisively eliminating the others.
Yu Luhan said anxiously, "This has nothing to do with being weak or not. The key point is that the child has no food to eat now!"
Shi Yiyu: "...get out."
…
After Shi Nian finished eating a fruit, the hunger in his stomach was much less. He wiped the juice on his hands with leaves in satisfaction. At this time, there were only two people left on the ground.
Wait...these two people seem to be his classmates.
Shi Nian's eyesight was not very good, especially at night. He squinted his eyes to look at the two people's faces, and finally saw their appearance clearly.
If he remembered correctly, this Omega was called Tao Jixia, and he was the monitor of Class 1. Before he came, he was the top student in the grade, but he was very shy, even more shy than Gan Ning.
Is that why he hardly spoke to Tao Jixia?
As for this Alpha... Shi Nian vaguely remembered him. His name seemed to be Yu Zhibo... or Yu Bozhi?
"Yu Zhixin, run!"
Oh, so your name is Yu Zhixin.
Shi Nian touched his nose awkwardly. Sure enough, his memory was really not that good.
Yu Zhixin fell to the ground in a mess. The Allosaurus walked towards him. In great fear, his limbs went limp and he couldn't struggle anymore. Tao Jixia, who could have escaped, immediately turned back to help him up.
Shi Nian knew their ending just by looking at the situation. Both of them would definitely be eliminated.
Yu Zhixin has a big frame, and Tao Jixia can't hold him up at all.
Yu Zhixin kept holding onto Tao Jixia tightly, pleading, "Don't go... don't leave me. I'll never scold you again. I promise. Please..."
He seemed to be confusing reality with the game, treating this moment as a matter of life and death.
Tao Jixia had no intention of abandoning him, and she used all her strength to pull him up, "Don't worry, I won't..."
But the next second, Yu Zhixin pushed him hard, and Tao Jixia's shoulder was pierced by the fangs of the Allosaurus. His whole body was picked up, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Yu Zhixin looked at him deeply, then crawled to his feet, with hope in his eyes. He thought he could escape while the Allosaurus was eating Tao Jixia!
But the next second, gunshots rang out?
Yu Zhixin's legs were in extreme pain. He fell heavily to the ground and could only watch the giant beast that had just eaten Tao Jixia approaching and opening its bloody mouth towards him.
"ah--!"
Shi Nian retracted his gun and lightly pounced on the back of the dragonfly bionic man, using the same method to destroy the circuit. The out-of-control Allosaurus was dazed for a moment and flew away to the east.
Shi Nian dusted off his hands with satisfaction and ran towards Kanate.
Kanat was waiting for him in front. "Did you shoot?"
"Yeah, I saw some annoying people." Shi Nian said bluntly, looking at the gradually shrinking mental barrier, "I just happened to lure Azel and the others here. We can't delay any longer."
There are only two candidates in the virtual space now. Kanat is not one of the candidates and does not exist in the data, which means that only Shi Nian and the other candidate are alive now.
On Azel's side, there were only him, Erich, and an Allosaurus left. Judging from the situation, Time was at a disadvantage.
Not long after that, Shi Nian met another candidate. He was a boy who looked younger than him, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with the same black hair and black eyes as him.
The young man stood barefoot on the ground, his harmless almond-shaped eyes sparkling when he saw and thought about it, as if he was very happy, his hands nervously clenching the corners of his clothes.
Shi Nian originally wanted to kill him with a knife, but when he took out the knife, the boy pursed his lips in grievance, and a layer of mist immediately welled up in his eyes. "Please don't kill me. I like your body."
Shi Nian was stunned. "I don't know you."
"I don't know you either." The boy smiled reservedly, his eyes sparkling. "But I still like you very much. I liked you the moment I saw you."
Shi Nian thought this person was baffling, but since he didn't want to hit someone who smiled at him, he didn't rush to eliminate him. "What's your name?"
The young man smiled brightly, "My name is Shi Ting."
Shi Nian nodded, "You have the same last name as me."
Kanat exclaimed, "No wonder he said he fell in love with you at first sight. It turns out you two might have been a family tens of thousands of years ago."
While Kanate was speaking, Shi Ting kept staring at Shi Nian's face, without looking away, as if Shi Nian was the only one there.
Shi Nian was not used to being stared at by him, "Don't stare at me all the time."
"But I like you." Shi Qingting lowered his head and looked at Shi Qingnian with a wronged look, "I can't help it. I'm sorry."
At this time, he thought: "..."
After Shi Ting followed Shi Nian, the large carnivorous dinosaurs wandering around seemed to have disappeared, and even the small herbivorous dinosaurs were not seen.
In addition to this strange thing, Shi Nian also discovered other inconsistencies.
"Strange..." Shi Nian frowned and murmured, "Where is the S-class android in this virtual space?"
The dragonfly android's rank is only B, so where is the only S-rank android now?
Off screen.
Shi Yiyu frowned at the obedient Shi Ting, then turned to look at Shi Yichu, "Why does this android have such a high favorability towards Little Rose? Are you sure you're not biased?"
"Brother, how could you doubt me?" Shi Yichu's face was filled with accusations. "Am I the kind of parent who would deliberately let my nephew win?"
Shi Yiyu glanced at the android who had been trying to get close to Shi Nian. "Then what about this android named Shi Ting?"
"Don't believe his sweet talk." Shi Yichu, who understood the bionic man he had created, waved his hand. "He was so sweet-talking when he first saw me, and look at him now. He's probably forgotten me a long time ago."
"I suspect he only likes people from our old Shi family. Don't worry, Shi Ting's love is just verbal. He won't favor anyone."
