Precautions for crossing (4)
"Precautions for Crossing"
Rule 4: Seriously, this is not a trip.
This is a very eye-catching thing, maybe someone will become a winner in life by playing and fighting, but the other world is not just a casual play that can get out of the way, more likely, play to the point that you don't know how to die.
Objectively speaking, your situation is very cruel, you have no friends, no identity, there is no place for you in this whole society, you are not protected by the relevant laws, and you don't even have the basic right to live, so anyone can hurt you.
If it happens that you don't have any superpowers like me, it will be embarrassing. In this case, if you are not careful, you will finish the game, and surviving may be the greatest achievement.
"Shall we slaughter it now and marinate it first, or kill it at night and throw it directly into the pot, fresh. "They're talking about what to do with the ingredients.
To be honest, from the experience of my life in the first half of my life, it seems that no one has ever commented on me in similar words. Even the homeroom teacher who hated me the most only gave a tactful comment of "this kid is very hands-on".
And if these three GIs are mistaken, they actually tied a dog in the way of tying pigs, and I couldn't move at all......
I'm thinking about the question: should I speak out to stop them?
Could it be that I scared them away as soon as I spoke, and then I was left here to fend for myself. Or maybe they're so frustrated that I can't affect their appetite whether I can speak or not......
What should I do? The guy with the kitchen knife is already approaching me, what the hell should I do?
"Wait!" I didn't say.
There must have been a big man behind me, because the expressions on the faces of the three soldiers were constantly changing, but why did they freeze the last expressions as if they had seen cockroaches.
What is the origin of this man behind me?
Just as I was trying to roll over, he straightened me up, which allowed me to see what this man looked like.
He was about thirty years old, tall and thin, with hair that reached his neck and was very unkempt. He wore a pair of glasses with super ~grade ~ thick lenses on his eyes, and wore a loose cloth robe that only an old man in his fifties and sixties would wear. In addition, he was covered in the musty smell of damp pages and paper, and when he smelled it, he knew that he was a bookworm that had been soaking in the pile of books all day.
There was a slight chatter behind us, which obviously couldn't escape my amazing hearing.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Isn't that Professor Herman the Neurotic?" but they still had a smile on their faces, and the three of them said hello with a dry smile: "Good afternoon, Professor Herman." β
"Well, you see," Herman replied casually, and then began to crack my mouth, "this dog is naturally boned with amazement, tsk...... This neat mouth, this melancholy eyes, this wild breath ......"
Sorry, but the breath is because of what you said.
"I knew I was going to catch a great beast when I went out today. With that, he untied the ropes from my limbs, then took out a thin green thread and tied it around my neck, and turned back and said, "Then I will take this dog with me." β
"But, but......" One of the soldiers wanted to say something, but the person next to him tugged at his sleeve and said, "You can go." β
Belch...... What's the matter with rare beasts, is Shiba dog also a rare beast in your world? Or is this professor dazzling? Is it really a neurosis?
The soldiers in the back began to bite their ears again: "it...... That neurotic used the [Dragon's Whisker] that His Majesty the Eastern Emperor gave him last time to steal our dinner. β
Oh, is this rope so precious? No wonder I suddenly felt refreshed, my waist didn't hurt, and my legs didn't go numb. However, it is very puzzling why he used such a high-grade thing to tie up a Shiba dog.
No, I don't have time to play with him, Ye Ming still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, I have to go to him first.
As I was about to struggle, the thin thread around my neck began to tighten, and I tried several times before I realized that it was supposed to be a treasure that resembled a bundle of immortals.
Why did he use such a powerful thing to tie up a dog, couldn't he use it to grab something meaningful, like a unicorn, Simba, or something. I'm sorry to catch a dog with hundreds of levels of equipment! I can faintly hear this rope of extraordinary origin crying.
Just as I was thinking this, he suddenly turned around, his eyes like torches, and shouted, "Actually...... You can understand people, don't you?"
At this moment, I was shocked to know what to say, not because of his words, but because he and I happened to be walking in the crowd, and with his words, there were forty people looking back here.
He's really not afraid of being embarrassed.
"......" In his gaze, I held back and didn't speak.
Nonsense, as soon as he opens his mouth, he won't let me go, I have to let him know that I'm just an ordinary Shiba Inu.
"It's really smart...... Herman turned his head and touched his chin and muttered, "Could it be that my acting skills are too poor and I have been seen through......"
Masaka! Have you seen through me, I have seen through your opinion? yes? The point is wrong, dare you to show in the crowd and test a dog! What a personality, let me go! Let go of me! I have a stupid X phobia!
But my resistance was useless, and half an hour later I was taken to his house.
His home is a Romanesque mansion, but it looks a bit old and needs to be renovated. The maid opened the door and ran back and shouted, "Madame, ma'am, the master has come back with something again." β
It turns out that this is not the first time he has gone crazy, should I be happy or depressed?
As we entered, we were greeted by a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties, whom the servant called Lady Mia.
This woman is delicate and slightly pale, but her smile is very quiet, and she has a charm that is unique to women after marriage. Well, but it's incomprehensible why such a person would marry a madman.
"What did the gentleman bring back?" said Mia.
Herman said proudly: "It's a monster...... Oh no, the divine dog. β
β......β
In the silence of everyone, a beautiful female voice laughed: "The professor is finally back, hurry up, the academician just sent someone to pick us up and take us to the arena, let's go!"
The owner of the voice is a young girl in a long dress, whose brightness is close to the bright moon, and its delicate and hidden cold front.
Ye Ming and I have the last female hooligan in our lives, her name is GΓΌran Charlotti, fortunately, I don't know her now, unfortunately, she has already known the two of us.
I noticed later that her smile was a sneer, and it was made to me.
As far as I know from my previous investigation, the [Shura Academy] admits a certain number of new students every year, and the number of places is extremely limited.
The first enrollment is presided over by four professors with their own skills, allowing them to choose at most one favorite student, which is considered a "special student", and only four of the candidates (at least no one) can qualify, this group of extraordinary talents is called [Four Yicai], their own qualifications are rare, and they can ride the rocket to the pinnacle of life.
Gulan is one of the Four Talents, and he is Herman's chosen student. After she got into the carriage, she kept urging the coachman: "Hurry up, it's too late, it's too late." β
Mia was also a little infected by Gulan's impatience, and couldn't help but ask Herman, "What is in the arena today? Gulan is so excited?"
Gulan smiled without saying a word, and Herman replied, "Hmm...... I remember that today shouldn't be the big exam, there shouldn't be much to see. β
There are three types of exams in the series of exams in Shuramon.
There are "Yicai Exams" and official "Big Exams" that are conducted in advance. In addition, there is the "recommendation exam" that will be held today.
This exam is special, to put it simply: "The content is simple, the number of places is not limited, you dare to come, I dare to record." β
Well, with such a convenient exam, why would there be a big exam?
The reality is this: the "big test" is for people with strength. The "recommendation exam" is for the wealthy, and the price is clearly marked, and you will be allowed to participate in it if you give money.
This is a special quota deal made by the board of directors of the [Shura Academy] when considering the issue of funds, and those who can afford it must be famous and noble. And because the [Shura Academy] is too big, most of the powerful are ashamed that they have not studied here, including the royal family.
Internally, however, the "big exam" often attracts the most attention. The "recommendation exam" is very despised, and even people like Herman who have no common sense feel that today's exam is nothing to look at, and it is nothing more than a show by a group of people.
"There will definitely be something to see in this year's 'Recommendation Exam', you see. β
Gu Lan looked at me meaningfully, what is this chick thinking? I'm just a dog, if you can let me go as a dog, I'm in a hurry to find someone.
After another half hour, we arrived at the VIP seats in the arena, which was almost empty.
We didn't come early, but it was an unnoticed event, and most of the people invited were late or even made excuses not to show up. Even the dean couldn't do anything about this, so he could only laugh it off.
Herman had nothing to do, and began to make small talk with Lady Mia, and handed the rope in his hand to Guran.
But I'm still going to have to figure out how to unravel it.
"Don't move," Gulan didn't know who he was talking to, "don't regret missing the highlights." β
Listening to her words, I consciously looked at the arena.
The arena is similar to the Colosseum in Rome, except that the ring of the outer ring is not a spectator seat, but a part of the arena.
There is a lake in the center of the arena, two small arch bridges lead to a small island raised in the middle of the lake, there is a five-meter-high tree in the center of the island, the wall, the land, the lake, and the island are circled one by one, and the whole arena looks like a flat dartboard ring from a distance.
Under the big tree, a pair of old armor scattered on the ground suddenly reorganized, turning into a walking and jumping armor man and began to raise his hands and legs to adjust his body adaptability, looking like a hip-hop master performing top mechanical dance......
He finally rubbed the rust off his joints, and then slammed it on the ground: "Welcome, audience, this is - Ding Lingdangchang." β
It fell apart, broken into sections and scattered on the ground.
One of the armor's hands suddenly raised, and it seemed that he was holding a tube of potion in his hand and applying it to the joints: "Sorry, wait for me to adjust it for a while, Professor Herman always forgets to repair me, damn it!"
When I looked to the right, there was a neurotic who seemed to be hiding under the table......
That's right! Damn! Why doesn't he even do important work to get into trouble by wandering around the streets, let me go, you bastard! I opened my mouth and bit him on the leg.
After a while, the armor rose again, and the baffle on the helmet opened and closed with a sound: "Welcome, everyone! This is the 'newbie' arena of [Shura Academy], a specially customized arena for novice friends, with no features and highlights! It can be called the safest brawl arena in the entire academy!"
This sentence is obviously for those students, and of course, they will be embarrassed to hear.
"I'm the on-site referee, Mr-Helmet!"
Otherwise, can it still be a visor? As long as you are not blind, you will know.
"It seems that there are very few spectators today, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect the atmosphere and excitement of this game in the slightest!"
He snapped his fingers, snapped his fingers, and then suddenly erupted in an astonishing burst of fiery applause and cheers in the audience of ten seats and nine voids, it was really groundless, if Zhang Fei had this skill back then, Cao Cao would have to go back to five million people.
"Our protagonist today is still the tester!" he paused at the right time, and then began to explain: "The tester is the subject of this test, and they need to defeat the 'examiner' they are responsible for. If one of the members of the team succeeds in defeating the Jiansheng in charge of their own team, then the whole team can escape the death penalty!
What the hell is the death penalty?
"You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong! Actually, these testers are death row prisoners in prisons in various countries, and they are all heavyweight thieves who have committed serious murder crimes, and most of them are carrying high bounties, so of course they will not be soft on killing a child! And can the pampered young ladies defeat these murderers and then get the admission qualification of our hospital? Stay tuned!
It seems that in this world, the influence of the [Shura Academy] is indeed very great, not only can it get the condemned prisoners from various countries out of prison, but even these noble sons and ladies can give the group ridicule without hesitation.
As he spoke, he waved his hand to our side: "The idea of the test questions for this year's life appraisal test comes from the most frenzied of our [Three Deans] -- Academician Merricodia!" The small audience once again erupted in violent applause and laughter.
Looking along his direction, there were three seats at the top of the VIP seat, presumably the seats of the three deans, not far from us. However, two of the three seats were vacant, and only a woman sat on the left.
She was dressed in a black tuxedo and top hat, and was now leaning in her chair yawning boredly. Academician Mericodia's expression was languid but unconcealed, her silky light green hair was long and scattered, and her thick dark circles were more conspicuous than her own water-blue eyes. This man seems to be bored, but nothing about him seems to be mediocre, and it is always noticeable.
The helmet said in a loud voice, "I would like to invite Academician Merricodia to speak-"
"Can I go?"
"Well, thanks to the enthusiastic remarks of the Academician, now let's invite these damned murderers to appear. The scene was quieter, and no one complained about whether he was right or not.
However, he is not afraid of cold scenes, and he is really a qualified host.
Amid the cheers, the door to one side of the arena opened, and out of it came a hundred or so fierce testers, male and female, tall, short, fat and thin, and a figure hidden in the crowd was very familiar...... Looks like I don't have to go to him.
Ye Ming, there is a way that people are hidden in the city, and leaves are hidden in the forest......
Why are you a joke! Where is it not easy to get mixed up, you have to lean on the side of the condemned prisoner? But if you think about it carefully, isn't the owner of the house surrounded by violent elements, maybe this is some kind of "like gathering".
"The third from the left in the seventh row, that person's name is Ye Ming?" said to me coldly, Gu Lan whispered to me.
At that time, I was shocked, just like when I was twelve years old, I watched Peter Jackson's masterpiece for the first time, and I remember that movie called "The Corpses Play Across the Line".
