Chapter 2 The Prototype of the Team
A month passed quickly.
For Gao Ying, his current priority is how to make the most of the rewards he has obtained.
Predicting the next minute is indeed very useful at critical moments, but the disadvantage is that it can only be used once during the exam. Therefore, how to use it at a critical time is quite critical. This reward must be used when Gao Ying needs to make a major choice. As for the ability to drive away corpses, this ability can actually play a big role at critical moments. Zombies can be used as pathfinder cannon fodder, or they can be used to keep out ghosts, acting as their own shield, and at the same time to a certain extent to deter Agnes.
However, it is also unknown how to control the zombies, because there is no way to actually try it. Gao Ying always felt that zombies might have a greater role. As mentioned in the rewards, zombies seem to have a difference in ability. So, is it possible for a sufficiently powerful zombie to ...... How about a little resistance to ghosts?
Gao Ying believes that this possibility is very high. But how to do it in practice is still unknown.
In addition, Agnes, Ji Yixuan, and Yang Xuan also conducted lottery draws one after another. All three of them are in their eighties, so they can only draw once. And the result was also very surprising to Gao Ying.
The reward that Ji Yixuan drew was to obtain wealth that could be enjoyed forever. To put it simply, as long as a thought comes to his mind, money will automatically appear in his hand, no matter which country's coin, or any bank card in the world, even a black card that can be infinitely overdrawn. Any form of wealth is at Ji Yixuan's fingertips. This ability, if put in reality, is enough to make anyone crazy, after all, money is anyone's eternal pursuit, but I am afraid that its temptation is no less than eternal life. But in the world of exam scenarios, no matter how much money you have, it doesn't make sense. Of course, when you have money, it can play an unexpected role in many cases. Therefore, the key to this ability is to use it properly. Ji Yixuan has already experimented, and the money conjured up with this ability is really unlimited, dollars, euros, and yuan. As for the bank card, it is impossible to determine whether it can be used, but according to the instructions on the reward note, the conjured bank card will automatically generate a reliable and valid legal account in any bank, and no matter how large the amount of money in the account, as long as it does not exceed the bank's ability to exchange cash, it is up to its discretion.
And the reward that Yang Xuan draws is that he can immediately recover all injuries by triggering the rewards on the exam paper at each exam, no matter what damage he suffers (both physical damage and curse damage are counted). You can only use it once for an exam, but it's also a continuous reward. This reward can be considered more useful.
Finally, there is Agnes, and the reward she draws is actually the same teleportation ability that Qin Ye used in Seculon Prison before. Of course, this teleportation ability can also carry people around you to move with you. This ability is quite practical, and it can be said that in those exam scenarios with a large range of activities, it is definitely an escape artifact. It's just that Gao Ying is very aware of Agnes' ruthless and cold-blooded character, and she doesn't care about the life or death of other candidates, so whether she will use this ability to help others depends on whether the person she rescues is valuable in the team.
In any case, except for Dong Scorpion, everyone has all kinds of abilities this time. These abilities must play an important role at critical moments. Now this team, everyone needs to run in, work together, and realize the hope of living together.
A month is coming to an end, on the eve of a new exam. Gao Ying finds Agnes and wants to talk to her.
"I hope you understand that the current team is still in the run-in period." Gao Ying put forward his own thoughts: "I don't care about what you did in the past. Now the people in this team can have their own role. For the sake of long-term survival, I hope you will stop despising the lives of others as you did before. “
Although Agnes has a cold-blooded personality, she is not a murderous lunatic in the end, in the end, she is an extreme egoist. For an egoist, what she pursues naturally is what is in her own interests. Therefore, as long as the people in the team can help her, she will not easily do things that disregard people's lives. Gao Ying is also very aware of this. In the future, Agnes' teleportation ability will be very important to the team, so he must ensure that Agnes can integrate into the team. Ironically, Shen Junhao's death has also reduced the discord within the team, after all, the others don't have much grudge against Agnes.
Of course, Ji Yixuan also hated Agnes in his heart, because he knew that Shen Junhao's death was the first person responsible. In response to this problem, Gao Ying and Ji Yixian also talked a few times, and he understood Ji Yixuan's character. From childhood to adulthood, Yixuan was treated by the people around him with the eyes of moral judgment, so much so that he was much more sensitive to the word morality than ordinary people. Although he could not reach the point of moral cleanliness, he really hated Agnes. It's just that for Gao Ying's sake, that's why he has been enduring this evil breath. However, Gao Ying is also interested in him, and now that Shen Junhao is dead, their team must rely on Agnes' ability to survive. As for Agnes' own problems, he also promised Ji Yixuan that he would communicate with her. In fact, it is easier for someone like Agnes to put interests above feelings to negotiate.
"First of all, I must reiterate one point. That kind of thing last time...... I don't want this to happen again. In the future, I can use zombies to do the work for me, and you can use zombies as cannon fodder. As a last resort, I hope you don't think about using violence and killing to solve the problem until you have to. “
For Gao Ying, dominating others through violence and terror is the next step, and it is the ability to make people sincerely surrender and serve. Agnes's personality is too superstitious to use violent bloodshed to achieve her goals. Gao Ying knows what kind of person she is, but, for the sake of the team as a whole, he hopes that Agnes can play her due role in the team. In this way, cooperation and trust with other test takers are also key, rather than treating everyone around you as your imaginary enemy.
"I know......" Agnes could see Gao Ying's huge potential, and the ability he exerted could only be possessed by Abyss-level candidates, which also made her evaluate Gao Ying several levels, and naturally she couldn't ignore his words: "Okay, as long as I don't deliberately drag my feet and cause trouble, such as candidates like Ji Buqun, I won't give priority to using violent means." Gao Ying, this is my trust in you. “
Agnes rarely trusts others, but Gao Ying ...... She felt she could believe it once.
In the end, when Gao Ying was about to leave, he thought of something, and after hesitating, he still said, "Shen Junhao...... His death, are you really, without a little guilt? ”
From the perspective of the overall situation, he no longer intends to blame Agnes for Shen Junhao's death, after all, it will not help. However, people are not absolutely rational creatures after all, Shen Junhao's death, Ji Yixuan is difficult to let go, how can Gao Ying completely forget it?
Agnes looked at the gaze cast by Gao Ying, she didn't know what kind of answer Gao Ying wanted from her.
If she says she feels guilty, will Shen Junhao be able to come back to life? Gao Ying, will he feel a little better? Gao Ying is approaching the devil on the one hand, but he doesn't want to give up all his conscience.
"I'm sorry......" Agnes shook her head, "I'm not guilty. I know what I am in your mind, but I don't care. Gao Ying, conscience can't save your life, you will understand this in the future. ”
"Nope." Gao Ying shook his head resolutely: "The biggest difference between us humans and beasts is ...... We have a conscience. “
Agnes replied, "Animals and insects only kill for survival, but we humans can kill for reasons that have nothing to do with survival." As I said, Gao Ying, I don't feel guilty, and I don't feel like Verwen and the others feel that repentance to God and confession to the priest can atone for their sins. I don't need anyone to forgive and forgive me, I want only me to have the right to forgive or not to forgive. “
Gao Ying didn't know what Agnes had been through, so she didn't have the slightest respect and reverence for human life. But he knew that Agnes's heart was extremely pathetic, she didn't know how to love people, and she only had indifference to human life. Such a life is more terrifying than death.
Gao Ying never wants to become a person like Agnes. However, he felt uneasy inside, and he was afraid of the darkness that lurked in his heart, the devil that existed in the depths of his soul.
After he walked out of Agnes's room, he saw Ji Yixuan waiting outside.
"And her...... Have you talked about it? Ji Yixuan asked.
Gao Ying nodded and said, "Hmm." Already...... It's been discussed. Whatever has happened before, from now on, I hope that everyone can give up their old suspicions. ”
"Know...... Finish. You go and rest first, Gao Ying. I always feel like you're tired. ”
"I'm ...... Tired? ”
Of course, this exhaustion is not physical, but mental.
For the current Gao Ying, he has become the recognized leader of the team, and he has taken everyone's lives. To be honest, this is still quite a burden for Gao Ying.
And in this team, the only one that Gao Ying can trust without reservation is Yixuan.
Just as Gao Ying was about to walk back to his room, he heard Yixuan's voice behind him.
"Gao Ying, you're not alone in this battle. In any case, please keep that in mind. ”
