Chapter 19: Doubts

The question raised by Qiqi is exactly what Luo Fan has been thinking about all the way. He slowed his steps even more slowly, his eyes vigilantly observing his surroundings, but in his consciousness he gave his analysis: "The military has behaved very abnormally this year. In previous years, the assessment of the holy police was basically a knockout system, although the details were different, but in general there was no mode of leaving the ring. It's intriguing that this year has suddenly become such a weird way of killing and eliminating, and no rumors have been revealed beforehand. ”

"Yes, the danger here has far exceeded the needs of the assessment, and throwing the future elite of the earth directly to such a wild planet to send them to death makes people feel that the motives are not pure. It's probably not just about screening a few qualified federal vigilantes. Kiki's face also became very unsightly.

Although they haven't known each other for a long time, in Luo Fan's impression, in addition to sleeping, Qiqi is usually most concerned about eating. As soon as he speaks, no matter what he talks about, a few words can be used to eat. Today's serious appearance can be described as unique. Although he didn't say it, Luo Fan knew in his heart that this planet also brought a lot of pressure to Qiqi, after all, now the life and death of the two are linked, and if Luo Fan dies, he will also die. If that happens, Kiki won't have a place to cry.

Luo Fan sorted out his thoughts and said after consideration: "I think there are three most suspicious points in the military's approach. ”

"Which three?" Kiki asked, "Tell me about it." ”

"The first point is teleportation. At that time, the spaceship we were on was an interstellar cruiser, which was fully capable of ultra-long-range interstellar navigation through wormholes. However, the military adopted the method of individual positioning and teleportation, using interstellar teleportation equipment, to drop us contestants directly onto this planet. ”

"Obviously, this is not a cost consideration. If you take a space jump on an interstarcruiser, on the surface, the hull will appear to be massive, and it seems to require a lot of energy to support it. In fact, since the hull only needs to jump into the space near the target planet, the requirements for accuracy are not particularly high, so the energy consumption is limited. ”

"The method of individual delivery requires very high accuracy of transmission coordinates. Because as long as there is the slightest deviation, the teleported person may be sent to the center of the earth or into space, and then it is really called an unknown death. In order to maintain the absolute precision of the transmission, a much larger amount of energy has to be consumed. ”

"What is the purpose of the military abandoning a more scientific and optimized plan, but instead adopting a method that does not outweigh the losses? The first thing that comes to my mind is secrecy. Because they don't want us to see a star map near the planet XH-12, making it possible to determine where the planet is located. But is it necessary for a newly discovered savage planet to be so mysterious? If there's a secret you don't want to be discovered, then why send so many people all the way over? So, that's my first question. ”

"The second point is the contestants. The overall strength of this year's contestants is too high, and it is abnormally high. ”

"What kind of being is the Awakened? I don't know about you aliens, but on Earth, the Awakened are the top combat power. My father used to be a tenth-level enhancer and roamed the dark world for decades. If it weren't for the fact that he was too obsessed with a secret and ended up killing himself, my father might not have had a happy ending. ”

"The tenth-level enhancer can still be so good, and the awakened ones born with alien technology in recent years have become even more rebellious. Although it has not yet reached the level of invulnerability, an ordinary team of soldiers using laser weapons will fight against an awakened person who acts alone, and in the end, the awakened person must unilaterally crush them. This kind of gap in the realm is not only a matter of increasing strength and speed, but an all-round improvement, and a qualitative change at the genetic level. ”

"And corresponding to the great strength, the number of awakened is extremely rare. Due to the ridiculously large amount of resources required to cultivate an awakened person, even the four major consortia have no ability to squander them at will, so they can only concentrate resources to prioritize the cultivation of a few henchmen. And those small forces that are slightly weaker, it is estimated that most of them have never even seen the appearance of the awakened. ”

"It is precisely because the Awakened are so rare that the forces that possess the Awakened are all to protect their cherished land and reserve it for the critical moment to be called."

"But this time in the holy police assessment, there were so many awakened people all at once. Needless to say, these three people are uncles, young men in uniform, and beautiful young women, just by smelling them, I can know that they must all belong to some big force, and it is estimated that they will not be able to run the joint capital or the four major consortia. As for the girl in black, her murderous aura was heavy, although it was not as restrained and heavy as my father's, but her murderous aura was sharper and more destructive. So, she should be a killer, and she certainly won't be a nobody in the dark world. Only after killing many people can it be possible to cultivate such a murderous aura. And in the dark world, those who have killed many people but are still alive are either lucky or have amazing strength. I think this girl definitely belongs to the latter. And such a killer is usually not a lone ranger, but from a powerful killer organization. I know of several well-known killer organizations on Earth, and the only one that may have an Awakened One is the one my father worked for when he was alive. So, it's likely that this girl in black has some connection to my father's organization. ”

But when you think about it, it seems strange. What organization would be willing to send out the precious Awakened just to participate in a Saint Police selection competition? Even if you pass, what benefits can you get? Such a dangerous test method is full of many variables, and if you are not careful, even the awakened may lose your life. ”

"You know, the resources that need to be consumed to train these four Awakened can almost form an army, and it is obviously not a good idea to use the Awakened as cannon fodder. How could the heads of those big organizations and big conglomerates, one more shrewd than the other, suddenly start such a loss-making business? ”

In the bracelet space, Qiqi nodded and asked, "What about the third point?" ”

"The third point is this death elimination system. Despite the promise of ridiculously large rewards, claiming that all good things found on this planet could be privately owned, the planet was unexplored, and not even basic information was provided to us contestants. Under such harsh conditions, I am afraid that half of the contestants who can survive in the end may not be able to reach half, and it will be even lower if it is not good. The fact that such a high mortality rate is enough to prove that the purpose of the organizers is not to select talents, but to have another ulterior purpose. ”

"Combining the previous two points, I came to the conclusion that the military urgently needed someone to explore the planet for them, but they didn't want to make any information about it public, so everything had to be done in secret. It seems that there is some secret hidden on this planet, and it must be something very amazing that can make them willing to sacrifice a few awakened people! ”

……

"Mule, I am really impressed that you can analyze so much." Kiki touched his chin with his hand, and his childish little face made an old-fashioned look, looking indescribably funny, "It looks like you also have a bit of brains, not a stupid person with developed limbs and a simple mind." In fact, with your current strength, plus some help I can provide, it is not an impossible task to hold on here for a week. My biggest concern is ...... after the race."

Qiqi didn't say it directly, but Luo Fan already understood what he meant: "The military has always been secretive about the content of this operation, and it looks like they don't want the secret to see the light. Are you worried that in order to cover up the secret, they may later break their promise not to send a spaceship to pick up the survivors, and let us fend for ourselves here? ”

"That's right, that's what I meant." Qiqi's voice became a little ugly, "The evil of your human race makes many alien powerhouses whose strength far exceeds that of Earth inferior. There is no principle, no bottom line, and unscrupulous means to achieve the goal. For your own benefit, even relatives and friends can kill you, not to mention just some unrelated contestants, who are likely to treat you all as outcasts if necessary. ”

"I understand." Luo Fan nodded and said, "When people in high positions consider problems, they pay attention to the premise of balancing the forces of all parties, try to maximize their interests, and if necessary, they will not hesitate to make any sacrifices. Because for them, the most important thing is not right and wrong, but worthless. However, it is not our turn to worry about those issues right now. The most important thing at the moment is to face the danger in front of you first and try to survive for a week. ”

"You're right, let's deal with the problem at hand first. Don't worry, although you are a little poor, I will help you when you also invite me to eat a lot of good things. Kiki's voice began to stink again. After a pause, he added, "Mule, when you were analyzing the contestants just now, I think you missed someone. ”

"Oh? You mean there are other masters? Luo Fan asked a little surprised.

"That's right, it's the fat man."

"Is that him?" Qiqi's answer surprised Luo Fan, "I really didn't see how powerful he was. Do you find anything special about him? ”

"There is a special smell on him......"

"Taste?" Luo Fan was disdainful, "Cut, I think you're hungry again, right?" I warn you, although you are an alien, since you have come to our earth, you have to abide by the rules of the earth. I won't stop you if you're greedy, but you can't eat people! ”

"Who's going to eat people? You dead mule! Qiqi suddenly froze, and he was so angry that he closed his mouth tightly and stopped paying attention to Luo Fan.

Luo Fan saw that the little guy seemed to be really angry, and was thinking about what to say to coax him, lest he become a shopkeeper in a fit of anger and no longer care about his own life or death, then he would be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

At this time, a sudden change occurred!
