Chapter 295: Yongdao X Past X Pleading
Descending the staircase leads to a small rectangular underground stone chamber with strange patterns carved into the top, which emit a glimmer of light instead of torches and light sources.
In front of the stone chamber are two corridors leading to the left and right.
A fork in the road?
Standing in the stone room, Noah looked left and right, frowning slightly.
Obviously, the stone chamber that Noah and they came to is not the underground square, since they have not yet reached the destination, it means that this first test has not ended, in this case, it is necessary to choose the fork in the road in front of them carefully, after all, it is not clear where these two roads lead, if one of them is a dead end, then it will inevitably waste a lot of time, resulting in the failure of the test.
"That's it." After observing for a while, he found that there was no hint around him at all, and the two corridors were exactly the same in other respects except for the left and right respectively, and there was no difference at all, so Noah no longer hesitated, and went straight to the nearest to him, the one that led to the left.
"How about you, I'm just choosing, I'm not sure if I'll hit a dead end, this time it should be a test of luck, you can choose the right, after all, my luck has never been very good." Walking to the corridor, Noah seemed to remember something, and turned back to Leha and the others, who were about to follow.
Hearing Noah say this, Leha's footsteps subconsciously paused, Leha, Jaona and Saomi subconsciously looked towards the road on the right, and Casey only hesitated for a moment, and then followed firmly.
"What should I do?" Leha looked at the two people beside him.
"He's right, there's no hint at this place, I'm afraid it's all up to luck." Saomi nodded, agreeing with Noah's statement.
Jia Ona stared at the Yongdao on the right, and said in a low voice: "I think we will choose this side, you can also see Noah's strength, I don't know what tests will be behind this, if there is any elimination mechanism after this Yongdao, we have no chance of winning at all." ”
"It's better to split up here, if you're unlucky, you'll get into a dead end, and if you're lucky, maybe he'll be dead end, and we'll be able to get through."
"This is a hunter's test, you don't think you're going to rely on him after that, are you? Each of us is only a temporary partnership, and we are actually competitors. ”
Listening, Leha nodded: "That's true, so be it." ”
Although Noah brought them in, the scene where Noah killed Im was too terrifying, instead of following a tiger, it was better to choose to group with someone of the same strength, so the safety factor was higher.
Based on this idea, even though Leha and Jaona chose the road leading to the right, while the rest of Saomi looked in the direction of Noah, at this time Noah had already walked into the road, Saomi only saw the back of Casey who followed in, he hesitated for a few seconds, and finally gritted his teeth, turned around and ran to follow Leha and the two.
The choice of Leha and the others did not attract Noah's attention, or rather, from the very beginning, Noah didn't care about them at all, and the reason why he agreed to form a temporary team was just with an indifferent mentality, thinking that it would indeed be faster if someone looked for him together, as for what Leha and the others would think of him and what to do, Noah didn't pay attention to all of this.
"No... Noah. ”
At this time, Casey, who was following up, hesitated a little and spoke.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the other party's words, Noah responded casually.
"If possible, can you teach me to be stronger? The kind of power you have in your hands is not something that ordinary people can control. Taking a deep breath, Casey calmed her tone and said word by word.
Without waiting for Noah's answer, Casey didn't care, just listened to him muttering as if talking to himself.
"Even if it doesn't really match, I know that Imu is very powerful, if he wants to kill me, if he wants to kill us, it should be no different from killing ants, I know this."
"I'm just an ordinary person, and it's just a fluke to participate in this hunter test, and I know very well that with my level, no matter how lucky I am, the chance of passing the test is low."
"As I said before, when I was twenty years old, I didn't even think I'd come to the Hunter Test."
At this, the corners of Casey's mouth twitched, and her smile was full of bitterness and sadness.
"Before this, I was a police officer, except for a little better marksmanship than others, there was no shining point, pure ordinary people."
"My wife and I met in a bank robbery, she was just an ordinary person, there was a man who was hit in the stomach, it was all blood, lying next to her, she was terrified, I came in the back, I shot two bastards, and cooperated with my colleagues to catch the remaining guy, and that guy wanted to take her hostage."
"After that, I don't know how things developed, fate may be so wonderful, after I got married, I worked hard, I worked when I had a case, and when I didn't, I went home normally and enjoyed the beauty of my family."
As he spoke, the smile on Casey's face softened, and then a hint of resentment welled up in the depths of his eyes.
"One of the robbers I killed had an older sister who hated me when she learned of my brother's death, and she disappeared after dropping the cruel words 'I will never let you go,' and it wasn't until later that I learned that she had made unimaginable sacrifices to avenge her brother."
"Then she became the mistress of a certain gang leader, and then her revenge came, without any warning or defense, and my family and I were crushed, and she destroyed everything about me in an instant."
Clenching her fists, Casey took a deep breath.
"She deliberately didn't kill me, she gave me a reason and a chance to take revenge, I tried, once, twice, each time I was well prepared, but it failed, I was beaten all over my body, and every time I was thrown out of her house in a humiliation by her."
"Without strength, without strength, I can't protect my family, and I can't even avenge them!"
"I thought about suicide, but then I didn't think about it, I heard about the hunter test, and being able to have a lot of privileges after becoming a hunter may be my only hope, so I didn't hesitate to sign up."
"I know my chances of passing are slim to none, but I don't care, at worst I'm going to die."
"You are not an ordinary person, I envy you, I know it's not very likely, but I still want to beg you, beg you, even a little, so that I can have the power of revenge, I can do anything for you."
Casey said, bending her legs towards Noah's back and kneeling heavily on the ground.
A new light source appeared in front of him, a new stone chamber, and Noah stopped, looked back at him, and said, "Yes." ”
"Then let's pass this hunter test first."
