Chapter Twenty-One: The Unexpected Situation in the Sea of Trees in Gifornora
Having power in the air and not having a mental height to match it is tantamount to a child holding a nuclear bomb launch button.
The final result is either that the child dies at the hands of the "righteous" person, or that the child inadvertently becomes a murderer who destroys the world.
"I hope it won't have any adverse effects on her, otherwise if Red Hitomi grows into a strong personality like Estes, then I'll be really guilty."
Ling Ze prayed in his heart for his mistakes, but it was limited to that, after all, he felt that the red pupils would never reach that point.
After all, she is a woman who still maintains her ability to think independently in nearly ten years of brainwashing education in Gozzi!
Like Boni, a sports girl who received brainwashing education together, she really thinks of herself as Gozzi's daughter.
Therefore, Ling Ze was still more at ease with the red pupil, he felt that his casual words would not have a deep impact on the red pupil.
With this in mind, Ling Ze continued his lonely and difficult vigil.
As time passed, the black curtain gradually opened, and the east was gradually revealing its first whiteness.
Ling Ze had already completed his rotation with Guy before this, and at this time he was already asleep and resting again.
When it really dawns, Guy will wake them all up, and they will set off again, and this time, their goal is the final destination.
On the edge of this primeval forest, known as the "Sea of Trees of Gifonora", the initiators of this selection exercise have reached the location of their designated destination.
"So, which child was the first to pass through this sea of trees and get to this location?"
The bald man with monocles and a stand-up collar trench coat said expectantly, his voice giving people a sense of physical discomfort.
Beside him, there was another man.
The man was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a belt of unknown leather tied around his waist, and a katana with a strange sense pinned to the belt.
Around his neck was a red scarf, the hem of which fluttered behind him in the breeze.
"Who could it be?"
This man with blonde hair and a rather dashing look smiled and responded to the bald man.
"Gozzi."
The bald man with the monocle turned his head to look at the blond-haired man beside him with a katana at his waist.
"How many people can you personally teach, about how many?"
The bald man's name was Bill, and he was sent by the Empire to carry out this secret plan.
The business he was in charge of was to help this man named Gozzi.
For example, reforming those who are not qualified to be taught by Godzzy, training reservists for the eventual Imperial Assassination Force, preparing the ground for Godzzy's training program, and so on.
It can be said that he is a logistics character who does all the dirty work.
And the reason Bill asks such questions is to see how much work he has to do.
After all, all the remaining children who were picked up would eventually fall into his hands.
In fact, in Bill's heart, he hopes to be able to keep a few more children in his hands.
After all, his way of using drugs to transform is that he needs more experimental products to ensure the number of people who eventually become talents.
According to Dr. Fashion, who provided him with the drug, there are not many people who can adapt to that drug, but the survival rate of children who start injecting from a young age is still a little higher than that of adults.
For Bill, it must be that the more talented people the better, and the more successful the number is, the better his work will be, and the more likely he will be to squeeze into the real inner circle of the empire.
Hearing his question, the man named Gozzi did not answer immediately.
He casually put one hand in his pocket and the other on the hilt of his knife, and instead of looking at Bill, who asked the question, he looked up at the sky, as if thinking about something.
A moment later, under Bill's patient gaze, Gozzi spoke slowly.
"No matter how you think about it, with my energy, I probably only be able to train seven people."
Gozzi's number made Bill's eyes light up, and judging from the base number of these children who have invested in the forest, seven is indeed not much.
"Then I'll take the rest back to the imperial capital."
A smile appeared on Bill's lips, a very sick, eerie smile, and he really expected those children to be successful.
"Huh~Sa!!"
As soon as the conversation between the two stopped, the breeze that had been light suddenly became manic.
And because the sun was rising, the sky, which had already begun to brighten, was once again darkened.
A large area of dark clouds obscured the rising sun, and the entire "sea of trees of Gifonora" once again lost its light.
“......”
Both Bill and Gozzi fell silent, and in the end, it was Bill who spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Gozzi, how many people do you think can survive now?"
Bill's smile vanished, and his mood turned bad as he looked at the gloomy sky and felt the rain in the manic wind.
Gozzi stretched out a hand and straightened out his red scarf that was blown by the wind, and he also looked at the black clouds.
"Originally, I thought that at least dozens of them would be able to successfully break through, but now, this storm is really timely."
Gozzi laughed as he spoke, but he wasn't so disappointed.
Because the environment is getting worse and worse, the quality of the final selected customs clearer will be higher, as long as seven people can finally clear the customs, his goal has been achieved.
So Gozzi's smile was a slightly sympathetic one for Bill, though Bill only found it disgusting to him.
"At most, there are only more than ten people who can clear the customs, and the quality of this group of children is said to be good."
Gozzi didn't look at this batch of goods in advance, because all he wanted was the result, and if he couldn't even withstand such a test, then no matter how good his quality was, he couldn't become a talent.
“......”
Bill fell silent and did not continue to talk to Gozzi, his heart was very heavy, and the sudden change in weather really caught him off guard.
And in the "Jifonora Tree Sea", Guy has already woken up Ling Ze, Nahasiu, Red Pupil, and Black Pupil.
In fact, these four people had already woken up one after another when the wind was blowing, and after feeling the raindrops mixed in the wind, everyone's faces changed.
"It's not going to be good."
Ling Ze secretly complained in his heart, today he saw that there was a chance to break through and reach the end, but it turned out to be such a show, it was really not beautiful!
The most important thing is that the sky is flickering and dark, which is very exciting for those dangerous species who are about to have a day and night transition.
The small dangerous species that are afraid of the storm have quickly found their hiding place at this time, but the slightly larger dangerous species have already gone berserk at this time.
Throughout the "sea of Jifonora", the howls of all sorts of dangerous species began to rise and fall, and they seemed to be very dissatisfied with the impending storm.
In fact, this is the reason why Gozzi and Bill's attitude changed so much because of this sudden storm.
Because they know that this kind of sudden bad weather will definitely irritate the entire "Jifonora Sea of Trees", which is the worst case for the children who are still walking through the "Jifonora Sea of Trees".
"Ling Ze, what are we going to do next?"
Nahaxiu immediately looked at Ling Ze, whose face was not very good, and Guy, Red Pupil, and Black Pupil also shifted their gaze to Ling Ze.
Ling Ze, who felt the heavy burden on his shoulders, was also in a dilemma for a while, after all, this situation was the first time he had encountered it in his life.
