Chapter 70: The Old Man in the Mask
After listening to his words, I was secretly shocked, you know, I am usually in a state of facial paralysis, and my eyes will not show any feelings, not to mention that after coming here, because of the increased vigilance and deliberately hidden, it is almost impossible to guess my inner thoughts from my expression, but why can the old man in front of him do it? It's hard to be a person who has the same mind-reading ability as Chen Yuxin.
"Don't guess, I can indeed know your thoughts, even if you want to hide it, it's useless, your strength is not enough, there is no way to resist my ability to 'reason'."
"What do you mean?" Looking at the old man wearing a mask in front of me, I don't understand what he wants to do anymore, looking at his appearance, the target should be me, but what is the purpose of bringing me to this place so painstakingly, can't it be to show off his strength to me. And that sentence, what does it mean that my strength is not enough? Is it possible that I still have a way to improve it.
"The brain is spinning very fast, but the personality is not very good, and in terms of physical condition, the body is not strong enough, too thin, and the soul seems to be missing, which is really a bit bad." The old man suddenly took two steps forward and stared at me, his mask was completely a cover, and his eyes did not show at all, but even then I could feel as if he was trying to see me through.
I was a little annoyed by his words, and I was still immersed in sorrow, and wanted to be alone, and first brought me to such a place without saying anything, and then made fun of me, and now attacked me with words.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you're going to do, I understand that I'm not your opponent, and it's only a matter of a moment that you want to kill us, but isn't it too much to keep teasing me like this." I said coldly, not avoiding his gaze at all, and just staring at him.
Just like just now, the old man with the mask suddenly disappeared again, and then there was an extra shadow on the ground in front of me, and I didn't need to look to know that he was standing behind me now.
"Still, he's a malleable talent." He suddenly whispered softly, and then asked, "Let me ask you, do you want to save this little girl." ”
I was stunned by his abrupt words, and I nodded subconsciously.
"In that case, don't worship me as a teacher."
"What?" I was stunned for a moment, because I couldn't see his face, so I couldn't tell from his expression that he said this, maybe he meant it, but this sentence sounded to my ears had a completely different meaning.
What is this? People with this kind of strength, no matter how you think about it, must be inseparable from the alliance, since this is the case, he must also know the answer to the audit results just now, the auditor told me that I have no ability, just an ordinary person, since this is the case, then he still said such things, it is clear that he is humiliating me.
Anger spread in my heart, even if I had been cautious, but at this moment I could no longer remain calm, I raised my fist and rushed forward, towards the man's face. Of course, this punch still landed in the air, but with the experience of the previous time, I didn't use all my strength this time, but after the punch was blasted, whether it hit or not, I turned around and followed by another punch.
But this time it didn't hit, and the moment I turned around, the figure disappeared in a flash. I used all my strength for this punch, and after I missed, I fell directly to the ground due to inertia.
"It seems that you have learned the lessons of the past, but it is still not enough, your intentions are too obvious, you can see through it at a glance."
"Are you deliberately deliberately looking down on me! If you're going to kill me, hurry up! Don't grind around here! I roared, and I was a little angry at what this man had done.
"Huh? Do you think the old man is looking down on you? You don't want to think about it, how old and what status am I to make it difficult for you as a child? What's more, I have no grievances with you. The old man flashed in front of me, still standing with his hands in his hands, "Once a person loses his mind and is carried away by anger, a lot of information will be missed, and if it is on the battlefield, you will be killed at this time." ”
"Don't tell me anything, I know, you must have something to do with the alliance, then you should also know what the results of the audit just held today are."
"Of course, how could I have brought you to such a place."
"Now that you know and you're still talking to me about this? Let an ordinary person worship you as a teacher? Isn't it just deliberately disgusting me? "The more I spoke, the more excited I became, and the last few words were even shouted out, and the continuous bad news coupled with the changes in front of me made it impossible for me to maintain a normal mind. People are creatures that can be associated, and when they encounter good things, they can't help but think about good things, and vice versa, and I am in this state.
Ever since I died for the first time, I have been trying to survive in the cracks of all kinds of hardships and dangers, and I have finally survived step by step, but every time I see hope, it brings me another disappointment, as if I see the meaning of hope is to make future misfortunes affect me more.
All these things kept echoing in my mind, and my mood also fell to the bottom, and now it all turned into anger, and I smashed it all at the old man in front of me through my eyes.
Looking at my eyes, the old man sighed, "People who can come out of the world of Tisball should have a very high IQ, but in you, I only see the anger of impotence, and such a mentality is also worthy of the 'Principle of Chaos'?" ”
"What?" This sentence sounded inexplicable, but it was like a basin of cold water, pouring on the burning anger in my heart, and directly pulling me back from the bottom.
"Didn't you think once why there was nothing on that test set? Didn't you notice that the moderator's tone was unnatural? Ten seconds out of the result, nothing is considered the result? And your girl, potions are expensive, if you were really just an ordinary person, wouldn't you think about making money and then hiring a controller? Didn't you think about getting the potion through other means? The old man's tone was still so flat, so flat that every sentence was a question, but there was no sharp feeling at all. But the words he uttered pierced his heart, and every word was like a cannonball, shattering the wall called powerlessness until it collapsed.
yes, why haven't you thought about it? Looking back now, it was obvious that it had been more than ten seconds, and the tone of the censor was indeed unnatural, and as the old man said, even if I was really an ordinary person, why didn't I think about getting the potion through other methods? Is it really like what Gao Han said, and can only be used by controllers who complete the highest level of tasks?
If all this is true, then the information displayed on the device is fake, and the auditor is lying to me. But why? Why would you do this to me? I really don't understand, I'm just a newcomer to this place, and if anything, I'm just coming out of the world that they say is hard to leave, and I'm even more unfortunate than the others.
After coming here, apart from spending some time with Gao Han and the others, I didn't even say anything to anyone else, let alone offend anyone, and I didn't do anything against the chief in the governor's mansion, so he had no reason to retaliate against me at all. But if it weren't for someone trying to take revenge on me, I wouldn't have been able to explain it......
From the slow calm after I first came here, to the anger when facing the old man, to the current incomprehension, my mind is now a complete mess. At this moment, I suddenly remembered the voice I heard in my dream before, and I remember that the voice was telling me to find a person wearing a mask, could it be him?
"You don't understand, why lie to you, why tell you that you're just an ordinary person, why that little girl would tell you that potions can only be obtained by completing the most difficult controller quests."
My brow furrowed and I nodded slightly.
The old man turned around and said, "Because I asked them to do all this, I asked Ning Qingyu's old boy to provoke his grumpy girl and tell you the secret that only the controller has the right to know, that little girl is not bad, on the surface, there is indeed only one way to get the medicine that relieves the sleep virus, can't you guess the reason for this?" ”
Now that I've calmed down, after thinking for a while, I said, "For, test me?" "If I don't understand it, then my IQ is not as high as I claim to be. If he asked the chief to do all this, then the status of the old man in front of him is undoubtedly higher than that of the chief, and it is impossible for a person with such a high status to arrange it so painstakingly, just to embarrass an ordinary person who has never seen it, since this is not the case, then there is only one possibility, he has taken a fancy to a certain trait in me, and wants to test me, plus what he said before about the "principle of chaos", I am afraid it has something to do with this.
Looking at my abrupt appearance, the old man in the mask shook his head, sighed and said, "It seems that the mind is not mature enough, and it needs to be honed more." ”
"Who the hell are you?" I asked coldly.
"What a rude boy, why do you act like I'm begging you to be my apprentice, you usually talk to others like this?" The old man said helplessly, and turned to a correct tone, "You offended me just now, what's the matter, did you say a word of apology?" ”
"I refuse." I replied decisively.
"Refuse?" The old man seemed surprised by my answer, "Why do you refuse?" If this is someone else, I will have to drive him away once against me, and there are countless people in the alliance who want to worship me as a teacher, and now I have personally found you and asked you to apologize and you still refuse? ”
"With all the disregard for my feelings that you have done, since you can read minds, you should know very well the place of Cher in my heart, and I should know my feelings when I learned that there was no way to save her, I have already lost her once, and now I am going to lose her again, do you know how desperate I was at that time? And now you're pulling me to this place without saying a word, telling me you're testing me? And let me apologize, I also want to ask why I apologize to you, why should I be your apprentice? ”
