The young man didn’t notice the mockery in the old woman’s eyes. He was pleased with himself for chasing away song qingxiao and taking the position.
No one spoke. The young man pulled the tie on his collar, which was already loose. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the figure of the participant appeared in the trial space again. The moment the person stepped forward, he saw song qingxiao’s figure and subconsciously took a step away. His figure turned into an afterimage and dodged.
This person was very fast. Song qingxiao looked up and saw that it was number seven. She was a young and beautiful girl, about 18 or 19 years old. After she steadied herself, she wrinkled her nose and snorted coldly, probably because song qingxiao had blocked her way and exposed some of her secrets.
After No. 7 entered, she did the same as the young man before her. She looked around and found no place for her. She chose a seat about a meter away from song Qing and sat down cross-legged.
After she entered, everyone in the trial space fell silent for a while, and there was no more movement.
The young man played with his tie and looked at the silent crowd. He suddenly said,”
“It looks like it’s just the few of us participating in this trial.”
As soon as he spoke, the other trial-takers, who were originally stupefied, raised their heads.
The refined scholar nodded after he finished speaking.
“It seems so.”
The atmosphere between the participants this time was much more relaxed than when song qingxiao had entered the trial space.
However, she understood that this did not mean that the trial-takers were close to each other. Instead, it meant that everyone had learned to hide their true personalities and feign civility in the previous trials.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be joking around, but when it came to the trial, they would probably be able to stab each other without a change in expression.
“It was number six when 1 came in.” When the young man heard that someone was talking to him, he immediately perked up.
no matter what happens next, why don’t we all introduce ourselves first? maybe we can work together during the mission.
After he said this, the man in a suit with a cold expression opened his eyes and said coldly,”
“In the last trial, a talkative and mediocre person like you, who tried to take the initiative, was the first to die.”
After the man in the suit said that, No. 7, who was the last to enter, couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The young man’s face turned ugly for a moment. He clenched his fists and stood up with a gloomy face. The man in the suit also stood up and said sarcastically,”
“If you want to fight, I’m not number five.”
From what the man in the suit said, the young man could tell that song qingxiao had only entered the trial space one step ahead of him.
His face was still sullen earlier, but he suppressed his anger in the next moment.
“I’m number six, she’s number five, and number seven was the last to enter. It looks like you four entered the trial space first.”
Among the people who had come in earlier, other than the scholarly-looking man and the man in a suit who had spoken to him, the crew-cut man and the elderly woman did not make a sound. The young man asked,”
“Who was the first to enter among the four of you?”
“Why should I tell you?”
The man in the suit asked in return. He had been tricked by the young man into knowing the order of song qingxiao’s arrival. Although it did not affect him, he still looked unhappy.
After being rebuked, the smile on young man number six’s face faded a little.
“Since I asked this question, I can naturally share something with everyone.”
After he said this, everyone finally raised their heads as he wished. Song qingxiao also looked at the man. He didn’t say anything, as if he was trying to whet everyone’s appetite.
It was only after a few seconds that he said,”
“From the moment number 7 entered until now, no one has come to the trial space. It should be the seven of us.”
Everyone waited for a long time, thinking that he would say something, but when they heard that he was just repeating the nonsense he had said before, a flash of disdain appeared in the man’s eyes. He was about to speak when the young man continued,”
but I don’t have any hints for the mission. Do you have any? ”
As he said this, the man in the suit swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
This was also why song qingxiao felt that it was strange. In the last trial, the mission notification had appeared not long after number six had entered.
And this time, number 7 had already entered. There were no more new people entering the trial space, but the mission notification had not come.
She was still thinking if it was her or everyone else.
If no one received the mission notification, song qingxiao wouldn’t be worried. After all, in the first trial, the notification only appeared after they officially entered the mission scene.
She was afraid that this hint would not appear in the consciousness of every participant. After all, in the previous trial scene, the same group of participants had been divided into two completely opposite camps, and the tasks were different.
The young man’s words had hit the nail on the head. She noticed that there were seven participants, which was odd.
She had participated in the first trial with a total of nine people, which was also an odd number. At that time, only one person could survive.
In the last trial, there were a total of six people, which was an even number. In the end, they were divided into two camps, one of which was to kill, and the other was to rescue.
After the young man explained his situation, the man with the crew cut, who had been silent the whole time, shook his head.
“No, I didn’t,”
After he spoke, the scholar was stunned for a moment before shaking his head in denial.
“No, I didn’t,”
After three of them denied receiving the mission notification, the woman with white sideburns slowly said,”
“There’s no hint.”
Everyone had spoken. The man in the suit frowned and turned his head away.
“No hint.”
The young man’s spirits were lifted. His gaze fell on song qingxiao and number seven. Number Seven’s face was slightly innocent.
“I don’t have any, either.”
Song qingxiao shook her head. This meant that up until now, no one had received the mission prompt. It was very likely that the prompt would only be triggered when they entered the mission scene.
Everyone’s expression became a little strange. The scholar chuckled and said,
“Since that’s the case, why don’t we join forces for the time being and enter the mission first?”
Naturally, no one objected to such a suggestion.
No one wanted to waste time in this place. Song qingxiao gently turned her arm. Her shoulder had just been swept by the fist of the man who was chasing her outside the trial space, and it was currently aching.
In addition, her mental strength had been consumed in the previous pursuit, which put her in a weaker state among the trial-takers, so it was inevitable that she would be more vigilant.
She watched as the trial-takers put on an act and said that they would temporarily cooperate after entering the mission, and that they would not attack each other. Only then did they stand up.
Song qingxiao was not the only one who didn’t believe this nonsense. Even the person who said it probably didn’t believe it himself. He said it with certainty, only he didn’t swear to the heavens..
