Chapter XIX
The morning is the time for the theory test.
Chen Jue dragged his tired and injured body towards the examination room.
The fat pig standing behind a large tree opened its mouth wide in surprise.
Is this still a man? Walked out in a battle to the death. During these 43 days, he tried almost anything. But he still hasn't been able to wipe out this person in Jiuyou. Even the vultures were willing to compensate Zhao Rui twice as much gold, just so as not to affect their attack methods because they wanted to leave a complete corpse. But even that's it. That Chen Jue still walked over intact. The stormy attack of last night did not turn him into a corpse. Not even dragging his footsteps out of him became a reality.
Fat Pig now serves as a special assistant to the Provost General. He has a lot of authority. He alone couldn't attack that person himself. This is the rule of the Nine Shades. As a wave of cyborgs, it is not a piece of cake to deal with an ordinary person. But the instructor here can't do anything to his students. That's where he struggles.
During this time, he searched for all the trainers who were willing and able to deal with that person. But as a result, these people provide him with a lot of kill and evolution points. There are also countless kinds of equipment.
When he saw Chen Jue, he was about to walk into the examination room. His heart was pounding.
Behind him were the two dead men he had just invited. It were the two cyborg killers he had taken on at risk from outside the camp. But in this public place. In the event of such an assassination in the examination room. It will definitely arouse suspicion among others. and then found out by others. He believed that the vultures would leave him clean. Even if you sell it for the vulture, you have a lot of strength. He can definitely do this thing. In other words, his fat pig is just an outcast. He doesn't love his father and doesn't hurt his mother, and no one will be willing to protect him if he doesn't protect himself.
In order to fulfill one of the vulture's orders, he took his own life. Is it worth it?, Fat Pig thought. Glancing at the two low-level robots behind him. He shook his head as if he had made up his mind.
Impulsiveness is the devil. At a critical moment, Fat Pig suddenly felt that he suddenly became peaceful. Clarity of mind.
There are things that can be done, and there are things that can't be done.
watched Chen Jue walk into the examination room step by step. He had some doubts. Why did the vultures suddenly seem so interested in killing Chen Jie. far surpassed the initiator of this incident - Zhao Rui.
I looked at the door of the examination room, which was no longer visible. Fat Pig dodged and the two cyborgs quietly left.
Three days later. The results of the theory class come out.
Chen Jie's 4 grades all ranked first in the class. 203. Ban was executed 4 people.
"Class 203 doesn't need waste. This is what the old man likes to say. But the words in his heart were: "Sooner or later, it will be a death, it is better to kick your legs and ascend to heaven now." ”
At this time, the vultures are a little crazy. More than 40 days have passed. The little bunny was still spinning around in front of him.
Every time he passed the 203 class. When he saw that the rabbit cub was still alive, he became annoyed for no reason.
After 3 days.
Trinity and Double One are led into the vulture's office.
Inside the office. The vulture rested his legs on his desk. Between the index and middle fingers is an unlit Guwana cigar. Relaxed. He faintly looked at the scarred man and woman standing in front of him.
The fat pig standing next to him hurried over. Cigars were lit for vultures.
The vulture lit a cigar and took a long puff. And out of his mouth came smoke ring after smoke ring. intertwined with each other to form one ring after another. The last straight smoke arrow pierced into the ring of green smoke,
Slowly, the vulture watched as the image of the smoke ring faded away. "Do you two know why I rescued you from your opponent today?"
The two boys and girls were a little dazed. They timidly looked at the vultures in front of them. At the same time shook his head.
The vultures looked at them with eyes like lightning. said: "You used to be Chen Jie's teammates, I heard that he takes good care of you?"
The two boys and girls nodded.
The vulture stood up. He snuffed out his Guwana cigar for only two puffs and threw it in the ashtray. Staring at the wolf's eerie eyes. said: "If I don't stop your opponent today. You're in the fuel pool now. ”
Both Trinity and Double One looked at the vulture earnestly. Waiting for his next words.
Sure enough, the vulture continued, "If I told you that you only need to do one thing for me. I will keep you from dying. Would you like to?"
The two twin siblings still didn't speak. Continue to wait for the vulture's words.
The vulture walked up to the two boys and girls and stopped. Reaching out and gently caressing the wound on his face. He continued, "I know that all three of your siblings are dead. I have two virtual death slots in my hand right now. I wonder if you're interested?"
Sany was stunned. Shuangyi was stunned. Fat Pig froze. The two heavily armed soldiers were also stunned.
In their experience, they have not heard of any so-called virtual deaths. Is it true that there won't be so many people dying here in the future? This is different for the tradition of the Nine Shadows. Is there going to be a change in the policy above, and will that change affect each and every one of them?
The vulture smiled at everyone's expressions and said, "This is a new policy that we have introduced here, and anyone who has contributed to our Nine Shadows will have the opportunity not to become fuel in our perpetual tower." But it's not like it's okay to leave the Nine Shadows. Rather, it is here to exchange your labor for food for your survival. ”
Everyone immediately understood what the vulture meant. The price of not dying is to become a slave, a lifelong coolie here. Liberty and death do sometimes have an equivalent exchange.
Is there any essential difference between such a life and death?
Survival is for pleasure. It's about enjoying your life. It is to realize their own values and ideals.
If you don't have these. The man was alive and a walking corpse. Who wants to trade this way for survival?
The vulture's words then gave them hope. "If you're lucky enough to be one of our first virtual dead, you can go mine and farm," he said. Labor in our factories. Until your contribution reaches a certain number, you will be able to return your freedom, leave here with dignity, obtain a new identity, hand back your recorder, and remove your Nine Shadows. Then you can become an official fifth-class civilian in our Great Jin Empire again. ”
What a temptation. Trinity and Double One's eyes widened, and they looked at the vulture in extreme surprise. This is the ultimate dream of all Nine Shadows trainers. Now they are told that they can do it easily. It's like a beggar on the verge of starvation, and suddenly someone tells him that he has won a huge jackpot.
The vulture looked surprised. Seems to be very happy with the effect. His large hands slowly left Shuangyi's face and moved gently downwards to Shuangda's chest. Stopped at the top of her majestic mountain. Gently stroked. Then he continued: "If you really become the virtual dead here with us, you can get married and have children normally. You can even redeem yourself. He stopped at this point. Lowering his moving hand, he turned back to his desk. Sit down.
Trinity and Shuangyi breathed heavily and looked at the vulture with a look of longing and greed.
The vulture grinned, "Of course, there is a price to pay to become our virtual dead. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself. ”
Trinity and Shuangyi's breathing became heavier, and their eyes were more intense.
The vulture continued, "Now you tell me. As Chen Jie's teammates, did you personally witness Chen Jie's collusion with the Horned Beasts to slaughter our trainers in the Great Horned Beast Forest?"
The crowd was stunned again. They know the rules very well. Collusion with foreigners is regarded as treason, and it is the first crime that can be killed in the camp rules here.
Now Double One and Trinity really understand what vultures mean.
Shuangyi listened to this. There was a look of fierce struggle on his face. Even the tendons on her neck protruded like small snakes because of extreme tension. Finally, there was a hint of despair on her beautiful face.
The man who saved them from the brink of death several times. The one who was willing to trade his life for their chance of survival. The handsome, sunny-like boy was about to face a fate that they couldn't choose because of the choice of the two of them.
She lifted her eyes to look at Trinity, who was trembling. Gritted his teeth and slammed his shot.
Shuangyi's body slowly slumped to the ground.
She used her life to try to defend someone who was kind to her. But even the man who doesn't want to remember her name.
The vulture jerked to his feet, a look of utter shock and anger on his face.
Two people who have only been together for a few days can easily give her life for the other? What is this? This is loyalty? This is gratitude? This is a spiritual calling? This is a kind of personality charm?
At this time, the vulture's emotions are extremely complicated. His surprise was the woman's unexpected choice. His anger was due to the fact that someone was willing to give his life for that person. This hurt his fragile mind more than the man who humiliated him in a flattering way.
He glanced up at the corpse on the ground. His eyes looked coldly at the pale, trembling Trinity.
"Plop". Sany fainted under heavy pressure.
After 5 hours. In classroom 203.
When Chen Jue opened his new textbook. The door was slammed open.
Vultures, fat pigs, and 8 heavily armed soldiers walked in.
The sudden change made the young female instructor a little embarrassed and flustered.
In the Nine Shadows Training Camp, no one is not afraid of vultures. Including ordinary instructors.
The vultures ignore the crowd. He walked directly in front of Chen Jue and looked at Chen Jue who was quietly closing the page with an extremely painful expression. said: "Chen Jie, it's a pity, you have to go on the road in advance." ”
Chen Jue raised his head and got up. Facing the vultures. His current height is not much different from that of a vulture. So the straight-line distance between their eyes looking at each other is less than 10 centimeters. Even the breaths of the two of them were tightly intertwined.
The sad expression on the vulture's face quietly faded into a mocking one. "Isn't it a surprise?" he asked.
Chen Jue shook his head and took two steps back. Reaching out and fanning the air in front of him. said lightly: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add." ”
The corners of the vulture's mouth twitched. Chen Jie's small action just now made him extremely unhappy. He raised his voice and said loudly, "Your former teammate Wang Shu, that is, the Trinity in your mouth, witnessed the whole process of your collusion with the leader of the horned beasts. According to our camp rules, you will be executed as treason. Wang Shu's confession has been filed. Do you have any last words?" After speaking, he looked at Chen Jue with an inexplicable expectation.
But Chen was destined to disappoint him. He just nodded calmly. Not a word.
The vulture didn't see the painful expression of betrayal he expected from Chen Jie's face. He was slightly frustrated. So he continued: "Xu Ting, that is, the double one in the mouth. Because of the refusal to cooperate with us. He has also committed suicide. Now you're ready to hit the road. ”
Chen Jue looked at the vulture. A hint of pain finally appeared on his face. He asked in a gnashing voice, "You said her name is Xu Ting?"
The vultures finally had some pleasure. He said, "Yes." Her name is Xu Ting. Maybe you can meet on the Yellow Springs Road. ”
A trace of bitterness and self-deprecation appeared on Chen Jie's face. He once secretly said to himself, don't let people lose their lives because of themselves. But this promise to myself is so difficult to keep.
After a while. The vulture's sanity came out of the appreciation and aftertaste of Chen Jie's expression. He has a perverted penchant for appreciating and enjoying the pain of others. He looked at the scene in front of him. He had an inexplicable excitement in him.
But at this time, there was still a slightly surprised look in his expression. in his world. Being betrayed is the greatest pain. What a joy it is for others to be willing to sacrifice for themselves.
And this person is different. He ignores the betrayal of others. But there is a look of extreme remorse and anguish on those who choose to die for themselves.
That's the difference. Different experiences have different perceptions. Different understandings have different lives. This is predestined, or perhaps the most elusive of rheology.
Look at the muzzle of the 8 black holes pointed at you. That's 8 of the Empire's newest TTS2 fully automatic rifles. A snap of the shot. Can easily fire 120 rounds in 1 second.
Chen Jue shook his head slightly. Look at the vultures. "Right here?"
The vulture smiled. The voice was melodious and tactful, and he said, "Of course it won't be here." I'm afraid to scare the kids here. ”
Chen Jue nodded and looked at the vulture. Asked in a low voice, "Are you going to inject me?"
The vulture's face suddenly showed a very embarrassed expression. It seems to be saying. I'm sorry, but this will make you miserable. But there's no way around it.
But what he said was, "You're right." We have indeed decided to put you by injection. It's a very interesting thing. You're going to enjoy it. ”
He spoke with a corroborating character. The audience was stunned.
Including young female instructors, students. And fat pigs. Everyone present.
