Mina's face flushed, and this sentence made people think that she was weak-hearted. Fortunately, the candle flame was dim, and no one paid too much attention to her face!

Xia Ming listened to the humming sound coming from the four walls, he was upset and depressed, and it was difficult to concentrate, but he still caught a glimpse of Mina's small movements, and he didn't say anything, because there was no need to make people feel embarrassed.

"Is there anyone, please open the door!" there was a knock on the door of the attic.

Xia Ming looked through the window and saw a boy with a chicken coop head and two front teeth showing his two front teeth waiting eagerly outside the door with a lamp.

Opening the door, Xia Ming saw that there was a large box at the man's feet.

"Do you need a lamp? I only have two oil lamps left here? If you do, you can buy them for only 20 baht, and I will give you a lampshade, which can withstand any wind or rain." ”

"Forty baht! I want both!" Xia Ming saw that his eyes lit up, so he took out the money and replaced two oil lamps.

The price of an oil lamp is not expensive in the territory world, and there are many ways to refine it, with a variety of materials and different prices. Not to mention the extravagant gas and refined kerosene, the most expensive one is usually only ten baht.

"Okay!" the boy smiled treacherously, grinning with two mouse-like front teeth, and without opening the box, he directly felt out of the two lampholders and the lampshade that could be pulled, and nodded his head in thanks.

Closing the door, Xia Ming realized that Mina had been staring at him.

"What's wrong?" he couldn't stand her eyes.

"I can't see you're quite rich!" Mina said angrily as she snatched his oil lamp, "This oil lamp costs only ten baht at most!"

She turned on the lampholder, wrinkled her nose and said, "It's still the cheapest bitter vegetable oil! That is, you, you are so generous! Don't you know that he is making random offers?"

"I know. Xia Ming said that he didn't make superfluous explanations, and when people are willing to do something, the truth will not be said casually, and even if they say it, no one can understand it.

Tie the lamp to his trouser pocket, Xia Ming walked to the window and turned it on.

"You, what are you going to do?" Mina busied. "Do you want to ......?"

"Who knows. Xia Ming climbed to the window. "You can't help but do something!"

Xia Ming didn't say that he didn't like the noise here, he wanted to get drenched in rain now, and the rain would make him feel better.

"Wait a minute!" shouted Mina, who rummaged through the box and pulled out a delicate dagger from a wooden box, which was more of a toy than a dagger, for it was too delicate to be small.

"While it may not be enough, it's sharp. You be careful, it's always good to bring it. ”

Xia Ming nodded, not refusing her kindness, "Thank you!"

Tucking the dagger into his sleeve and thanking him, he made his way up the stairs of the carriage.

The rain was heavier than expected, and the heavy rain was actually not pleasant to hit the body, and even the carriage under his feet made a thudding sound. But Xia Ming relaxed his body at the moment, enjoying the feeling of the rain hitting his body.

He had never felt the rain like this, and if he changed his home, he was afraid that he would be taught by his mother's ears! But his mother never touched his ears.

He has seen Zhang Monkey have been plucked out of his ears, and many children in the town have been plucked out of his ears and severely lectured, but he has not, his mother has never taught him, nor has he plucked his ears, and he has never dared to let his mother teach him a lesson and let her pluck his ears.

said that he was a good boy, but in fact he was envious of those people.

There was no wind, and the rain was quiet, as is the case in autumn, but it is easy to get sick when you get wet.

The pitch-black train lay quietly on the tracks, like a sleeping black snake, winding forward. At this time, he suddenly realized that the train was not really out of order, because it had slowed down long before it braked, which is why Zhang Monkey was always lying on the seat, and it had been premeditated.

"Who's that kid!"

Behind the rain curtain, hidden in the grass, someone asked suspiciously.

"It's raining too much to see!"

"Down, down, he seems to see us!"

"You can see a fart ...... so far away," someone muttered.

"What does he want to do, is he looking for death?" one of them stared at the black shadow jumping on the train in disbelief as he looked at a reference answer called "Cheating Manual".

After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly announced loudly: "What about the president? Who saw that we are president? This kid is going to be in our student council!"

"Get out, if this kid survives, it must be our Storm Society!"

Standing on the opposite side of him, someone immediately came out strongly.

————

A senior cadre, who was temporarily acting as an intelligence officer, knocked on the door of the Storm Society's office urgently.

It was an old, somewhat shady office, and all the office equipment in it was black.

The president was now working on the papers with his head bowed and a blank expression. The three refined hunting knives were still quietly reclining in the iron bucket. The gray flag in front of the window has not yet been rolled, but the black wings are about to flutter and throw themselves into hell with sharp spears!

"President, the assessment of the freshmen has begun! Do you want to pick some people yourself?"

According to the rules, the student union recruited new recruits earlier than them, and if they don't make a move now, they will recruit good seedlings. But the minister's devotion did not impress the president in the slightest.

He just lowered his head and worked on the document in silence, and after a while, he asked lightly, "Where is Qi Shan?"

"He hasn't shown up yet, but I heard he's no longer in the academy!"

"Since the president of the student union is also here, there shouldn't be many 'dead' freshmen this year!"

He still didn't look up, not caring about the matter in the slightest.

The cadre was dumbfounded, but still did not give up, "President, this time is different! A strange boy has appeared, which has never been done before. He's a cheater if he dies or falls into the hands of the student union's gang of tricks, it's not a waste!"

He tried to exhort.

"Cheater?" the Storm Guild leader finally looked up thoughtfully, "Is that the cheater?"

The minister shook his head, "No, I don't know. The voice was slightly excited, and finally put it down.

————

On this rainy night, dozens of black letter birds carrying intelligence letters hovered and landed above an ancient and elegant building, looking for their respective targets. They come from all directions, public, confidential, and personal.

A letter bird with the "∞" logo on its foot descended into an uninhabited room, and the last remaining star on the wick of the candle case was extinguished by the moist air rushing in, and the room was as hued as its feathers......

Bang!

Another one, exhausted of its strength, fell weakly from the sky, and parts large and small were scattered all over the ground.

It's a sad sight...... But...... Why is it so uncomfortable?

Squeak squeak~

From the dark window came countless and dense sounds. Soon the wet puppets shakily appeared in the light.

The feathers on the wings had fallen, and the man stretched out his hand to save one or two, but the puppet creaked and fell apart in the air, the parts splashed, and the heavy movement hit the head without any pain.

"Hmm. The man's heavy sigh came from the dark corner, his eyes reflected in the splendor of the firelight, and he closed his eyes tiredly.

"Inject all test subjects with the drug!"

What he says is an order, and they just need to follow it tightly. But at this moment, all the executors couldn't help but hesitate.

"Commander......" someone accidentally called out his former name.

"This assessment is not just a test for new students!"

He searched the ground for the bamboo tube where the letter was bound and carefully extracted the contents. Black ink, red blood, the same glaring.

"What we need are real elites, real hunters. Such people do not need a lot. ”

When Xia Ming skipped a carriage, the lamp hanging on his belt suddenly loosened. When he could react, the lamp slammed into the carriage and rolled down the steep walls of the compartment into darkness. The irritable phosphorus powder burned as a result of the collision, burrowed through the cracks, and the flames spread into the oil seat of the lamp, and the fire swelled abruptly. A bright firelight "rose" from the abyss, instantly illuminating the entire darkness.

Xia Ming looked at the lake dozens of meters deep, and subconsciously grasped the short poles on the left and right sides with both hands. He retracted his head and tried not to think about something terrible, and often what happened as expected was what one was more worried about.

Under the bridge, when no one was paying attention, the abyss suddenly opened its huge mouth, and the rolling waves swept the fireflies into its belly.

"Damn, this kid can't really be a cheater, right? How does he know to test the monster in the water with fire? No, I'm going to report it!"

The man looked incredulous as he followed the mark on the "cheat manual".

"What about the president, what about the president? If the president doesn't show up again, I'm going to be on board! The executors who have been installed are probably about to let the dog go. "I'm so anxious that I can't sit still.

"Hey, you want to fight over there, don't you?"

“... You..."

Scalding hot blood sprayed on someone's face, and a black spear tip burst out of his chest, and before he could finish speaking, he was lifeless.

Everyone looked back in horror, a carbon-red filthy bead, like a grim reaper staring in the rain.

There was no movement in the fire room, and Xia Ming jumped on the front of the car, but when he saw the scene in the fire room, he almost hit his head on the iron plate.

The firebox was guarded by a young officer, but he was now lying in a pool of his own blood, his bulging eyes open, his body pierced. His right hand was nowhere to be found, and the simmering steam of the hunting knife that had been discarded was still sizzling, and scorching steam rose from the blade. It was the blood of those things, Xia Ming had read the records of their blood, and it could corrode any hard metal.

He's really dead, not playing to scare them.

Natural selection，survival of the fittest

- This is a very old mantra, which probably means: elimination means death, and there is no qualification to live.

For the first time in fifteen years, he felt like he had betrayed the world, like ...... Fugitive.

This time, even if he was drenched in the rain all night, no one took care of him;

This time, even if he wanted to save the world, no one would care about him;

This time, even if he was going to die, no one would care about him;

At this moment, he was free, but he also felt lonely like never before.

He walked over the corpse, took the place of the officer, knocked the shovel stuck in the coal pile, and added fuel to the firebox. The temperature gradually rose, and the coals in the firebox were shiny red. Looking at the gradually rising air valve pin, Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Ahead, perhaps, is the monster waiting for supper, or perhaps the welcoming procession waiting for them.

The scorching heat of the firebox scorched the corpses on the iron plates, and the oppressive and regular roar of the huge boiler. The heavy rain poured quietly through the iron plate, wisps of white vapor swirled under the eaves, Xia Ming bowed his head in a daze, and the sturdy slide bar under his feet dissolved into waste water like a pus-rotted corpse, rushing into the invisible rain.

It turned out to be in vain, the other party sabotaged the train, and they could only wait for rescue.

Zhang Monkey has woken up, even if it is a pig, it is impossible to fall asleep in the downtown area. He watched in amazement as Xia Ming climbed in through the window, the black hair that followed the rain on his forehead made him look embarrassed and dashing, why did he fall asleep?

Still Mina is careful, where is this chic, this face is pale and silent, she also noticed that Xia Ming is still carrying a knife behind his back, which is obviously not given to him by her.

"Where have you been?" Mina asked curiously.

Xia Ming untied the hunting knife and gave it to her, "You take a closer look." ”

"It's ......" Mina's face turned pale as she looked at the burns on her blade. Xia Ming told them the worst he had seen. Zhang Monkey opened his mouth, but finally closed it. Mina asked, "Do you suspect someone betraying them?"

Xia Ming shook his head, "It's a fact that they ruined the maneuver of the train, maybe that person just had a hot head, maybe someone betrayed them, maybe there were their enemies mixed with our crowd." But what's going on with those things?"

Mina said, "Hunters aren't helpless about those things, do you think it's ......?"

This made him understand, Xia Ming said: "No, they were betrayed!"
