Chapter 56: The Final Test

Li Yu slept until four o'clock in the afternoon, then got up from bed, then went to the kitchen, heated up some leftovers from last night, and ate dinner that night.

After that, he drove and followed Taylor's instructions to Momiji Mountain Resort.

This time, the bodyguards outside the villa did not stop him again, and the BMW 3 Series opened the door when they saw him from a distance.

Li Yu drove into the villa, and soon a puppet greeted him.

"Mr. Li Yu, please come with me. The directors have arrived and are waiting for you. ”

Li Yu followed behind the puppet and found that the other party did not walk towards the main building where the annual meeting was held before, but led him through a pavilion, water pavilion, rockery pond and marsh.

Then an incomparably huge ash tree came into Li Yu's eyes.

The ash tree was nearly 100 meters high, about the height of a forty-story building, and it was so large that it took six or seven people to enclose it, and the canopy enveloped half of the manor.

Such giant trees usually only appear in myths and legends.

And under the giant tree sat five people, including the five directors of the company.

They were dressed in suits and sat upright with solemn expressions.

"You're here." Taylor nodded at Li Yu.

Li Yu bowed and saluted, "I'm here." ”

"I heard you had a great time last night."

Li Yu said, "I can explain. ”

"You don't have to explain. As our chosen captain, the savior of humanity, this privilege is still there. Taylor smiled.

"Actually, you were so calm that some of us were suspicious of you.

"While we want our picks to be as calm as possible, venting your emotions clearly helps to bring out your human side as well.

"It shows that you really care about the people around you, your friends and relatives."

Taylor paused, "I hope you can understand the caution of the board, we have to be pretty sure you're on our side before we can put the fate of humanity in your hands."

"Those assessments, those stress tests...... And all of that, so far, supports that, and that's very gratifying to us. ”

"But statistics is a means of predicting the future through the past, and it has inherent limitations, and if the 'past' data is inherently wrong, then we can't use it to return to the right future.

"In comparison, it's still 'now' more reliable."

As Taylor spoke, two puppets walked up to Li Yu carrying the [Mouth of Truth].

"You know what it is, and even the best liar can't fool it."

As Taylor's words fell, the puppet walked over with another person, and the look on the man's face was a little dazed.

"Aren't we going to talk about investment, where is Mr. Qin?"

"I'm here, Mr. Zhen." Mr. Qin spoke.

The man also saw Mr. Qin at this time, and his expression was immediately happy, and then he saw the others, "Ah, you still have guests here, right, then let's talk later." ”

"It doesn't matter, they are all my friends and are interested in your project, and if there is no problem, we decided to invest together.

"Your company is now valued at 15 billion, and we can pay 3 billion in exchange for 20% of your shares."

Mr. Zhen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Ah, but I only plan to raise 1 billion." GG is definitely more than 15 billion in the future, and we are ready to expand our production capacity and start deliveries next year.

"I'm just a little short of funds now, and I heard from a friend that you are the big brother of the venture capital circle in City B to make a friend, so I can take out 15% of the shares at most, and I can't do more."

"Is that so?" Mr. Qin's face did not change and said, "Then you put your hand in the mouth of the stone statue and repeat what you just said." ”

"What?" Mr. Zhen felt that the stone statue in front of him was a little suspicious, and the atmosphere of the villa tonight was also a little strange.

But he was reluctant to get the billions that were about to arrive, so he hesitated for a moment, but still put his right hand up and repeated his previous words.

And when he finished saying the last word, the stone statue suddenly closed its mouth, and Mr. Zhen let out a terrible scream, and then the whole person rolled on the ground.

His right wrist was now empty, blood was scattered all over the ground, and Mr. Zhen fainted directly from pain.

The two puppets from earlier reappeared and carried away the unconscious Mr. Zhen on the ground.

After the other puppet cleared the ground, Taylor spoke to Li Yu again.

"It's too late for you to regret it now, although you have [Reborn] to resurrect, but trust me, it really hurts to break your hand."

"I'm not going to back down." Li Yu said, "Because I believe that I am loyal enough to the board of directors and to mankind." ”

"I like your answer." Taylor said, "But...... You also need to prove it to us. ”

Li Yu did not hesitate, and walked to the [Mouth of Truth], the stone statue had now opened its mouth again, and the severed hand inside had disappeared.

Only the blood stains on the stone statue were still a reminder of what had just happened.

Li Yu put his right hand into the mouth of the stone statue, and in the presence of the five directors, he said, "I swear that I will remain loyal to the company, to the board of directors, and to my compatriots.

"I am ready to be the savior of humanity and lead the 20 million survivors to another dimension, where we will continue to rebuild human civilization."

"What are you going to do with the natives of that plane?" Mr. Qin asked.

"I will kill them, let them first become believers in Shuangxiu, and then sacrifice their bodies for Shuangxiu."

"Doesn't that embarrass you?" Bernard stared at Li Yu's eyes.

"Yes, but I have to make a difficult choice to make in order for my people to survive."

"Admirable," Windsor praised, and she paused before adding, "will you hate us if we force you to make such a choice?" ”

This time, Li Yu was silent for a while before he said, "I hate you, but this does not prevent me from carrying out your orders and saving my clan." ”

Taylor smiled when she heard this, she seemed to be very satisfied with Li Yu's answer, and then looked at Sergei, "Do you have any questions?" ”

Sergei scratched his chin and suddenly said, "The idiot named Roberson who passed some time ago, is he still alive?" ”

"Well, but he wasn't long in the past when we put him in a dungeon, and now there's only one breath left." Li Yu said, "Does the company want to punish me for this?" ”

Sergei shrugged, "No, I'm just curious, that kid looks like he can get into trouble, and it's good to lock him up, our plan has progressed to the most critical moment, and it can't be ruined by one person." ”

Li Yu had already answered all the questions, and the [Mouth of Truth] remained motionless, maintaining its original opening and closing posture.

"Congratulations, you've passed the final test."

Mr. Qin also showed a smile to Li Yu for the first time.

"From this moment on, you are the savior of all mankind, do what you have to do, and let the fire of our civilization continue to burn."
