Recap
“… You passed. I look forward to seeing you next time, human.” After saying this with a smile on his face, the masked man put on his mask again, turned around and disappeared in the thick white fog in the direction Zhang Ziqing left.
‘This strange human…It’s a pity, a pity that I don’t know your true identity… Ah, it makes me want to ruin him~’
The masked man left with extreme irritability and an aura of murderous desire after the brief exchange where he couldn’t get satisfaction. The face behind the mask pulled out a big smile, twisted and hideous.
‘Whoever I come across next, I’ll kill him.’
‘It’s all because of that guy.’
___
[What does that ‘pass’ mean?]
[Ah! I understand. This anomaly is specifically used to eliminate some students. The so-called pass is its elimination standard. In other words, whether you will be frightened by the face behind the mask… something like this? ]
[So that’s it!]
They thought they were going to be the first blood, but they didn’t expect to escape unscathed. The viewers in the Ninth State area of the real world patted their chests and thanked the gods and Buddhas.
Although their student was weak, they still had some luck and quick wits, and they knew how to trick the humanoid anomaly.
This is good, keep it up.
The director of the command room picked up the cigarette, only to find that it had burned out. He took out a new one, lit it, took a deep breath, and squinted at the screen in the smoke: “Good luck.”
Although there is no evidence, there is a high probability that the student who was randomly selected is a little abnormal. They can’t analyze the source of this “abnormality” from the intelligence they have, so they can only observe first.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Others in the command center said the same thing. They saw Ji Xinghai on the screen put away his smile and silently looked at the back of the masked man. The wind was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the hair was sometimes up and sometimes down. They couldn’t see the expression on his face, only a young looking face.
“Huh? This kid… looks pretty good.” The deputy minister suddenly discovered this.
Before, under great pressure, no one paid serious attention to this unlucky guy who was selected, but now that they have passed the first level and calmed down, they suddenly discovered the second asset of this student besides “youthful” – he is very good-looking.
Not the kind of clean handsome noble with enhancements, but objective and indisputable good-looking, and good-looking like a rose growing wildly in the wasteland, full of vitality and unrestrained.
“What’s the use of being good looking? The students are in a competitive environment, and abnormal creatures don’t have human aesthetics.”
“That’s right.” This is an objective fact. Beauty can play a very limited role in this instance, so the deputy minister just said it casually.
In any case, encountering a humanoid abnormality but being able to escape unscathed, even if it’s just luck, is enough to make people hopeful.
The yellow leaves in the forest were like yellow butterflies, flying in the wind in disorder. Layers of light leaked in from the treetops. The lucky Ji Xinghai carried his simple backpack, held his ax, and carried his mountain-driving stick to step on the soft fallen leaves to find the next wild mushroom.
He lowered his head, and no one could see his eyes full of regret and hunger.
So hungry…
The live broadcast perspective left with Ji Xinghai’s departure. No one saw that a layer of light fog had risen where he had stayed, and the figure was looming in the fog.
“Ninth State… Ji Xinghai…”
The whispers dissipated with the fog, leaving no trace.
“What’s the matter with this student of the Ninth State?”
On the other side of the ocean, the headquarters of the Federation was also paying attention to the only remaining student in Ninth State.
They paid a lot of price and lost several undercovers to instigate the elite seeds of Ninth State, just to use abnormal natural disasters in this year to completely suppress it, so that it would not be possible to surpass the Federation again.
They don’t want any accidents.
“Stable mental strength 59.
“Stable fear value 0.
“And the performance when facing abnormalities is different from that of ordinary people…”
The expert specializing in psychology looked at Ji Xinghai who was still leisurely collecting mushrooms on the screen, and analyzed his mental state based on his current expression and behavior.
“I suspect that this Ninth State student has a history of mental illness. In other words, he is a lunatic.”
“A madman?”
“So he is a mental patient?”
The federation minister’s expression relaxed: “So he didn’t feel any terror at all? The world of lunatics is different from that of normal people.”
The Hunger Games has been occurring on this planet for three years. Random selection and official appointments have caused all kinds of students to appear, and of course there are also such mentally ill patients.
Their characteristics are that they are uncontrollable and unpredictable. Some of them have anti-human and anti-social tendencies. Occasionally, this miracle of “holding back” abnormalities will occur, but more often they will anger them and die without a complete body.
Their country once sent a high-IQ serial killer in, but the result was that the evil without a bottom line would only anger the abnormal creatures in the instance.
That bastard brought eight abnormal natural disasters to the Federation, eight times!
“Ha, after losing the official student, the remaining one is a madman.” The Federation Minister looked at Ji Xinghai’s face on the screen, which was slightly flushed due to exertion. Like the angel with an apple face in the portrait, he was very pure, innocent, and like a blank sheet of paper.
He is favoured by the angels, though, only for today.
“What is the phone number of Ninth State Command? As an old friend, I really sympathize with them for encountering such an unfortunate thing. It’s really regrettable.”
The Federation and Ninth State quarreled every day, and time was like fine sand between fingers, falling silently.
The exam had officially started for an hour, and the first casualty appeared.
“Go to the live broadcast room of the student next door! That Xiao Xi… the live broadcast room of the N country student who can’t even afford to eat! He met the masked man.”
The viewers in the live broadcast room was shocked by the message: “What’s the situation?”
The masked man with murderous intent did not catch up to Zhang Ziqing. He met another student who was exploring, an N country student.
Although the student was not his target, any creature would not be too particular when it was in a state of bloodlust.
The masked man did not say a word and killed him directly.
The live broadcast room of the student of that country was already bloody. In fact, he was a government-appointed student. He recognized this as a humanoid anomaly at first sight.
But there was no chance to beg for mercy or escape. The passing student was beheaded in an instant.
His limbs and body were thrown away in the forest brutally. The blood dyed the dead leaves and tree trunks red. The rolling head stopped. The eyes that could not be closed were still filled with fear and confusion, and could not close their eyes.
The masked man stood there, his shirt stained with blood, his limbs trembling with extreme pleasure, and his mouth uttered a whirring laugh.
Although the viewers would not be directly affected by the “fear” across the screen, they still had goose bumps and trembled.
Suddenly, it looked straight at the live broadcast room, as if looking at the viewers outside the venue through the screen.
[Ahhhh——]The viewers screamed, and the screen went black the next second, announcing the complete end of this student’s instance journey.
“How boring.” The masked man seemed to be talking to the empty forest, and also to the viewers outside the venue.
“Hey! That’s enough, leave after the examination room inspection. According to the rules, we can’t directly attack the students. It will be troublesome if we are discovered.” A crow landed on the tree and spoke in human tongue.
The masked man laughed strangely: “I just kindly help them dispose of the garbage. This kind of guy will die sooner or later.
“Thinking that the first exam is easy, so you can survive as long as you hide? No, it’s useless even if you hide in the mountains.”
“That has nothing to do with you. Your presence will make the exam boring-these new students are not your opponents. If you want to come in as an examiner, just wait for them to grow up.”
“…Maybe it won’t take that long. A very interesting guy has come among the students.”
Thinking of the humans he hadn’t killed before, the masked man’s voice revealed a lot of excitement.
“Interesting guy? He won’t be the same as before… Hey! The inspector has found us, let’s go.”
“Tsk, we can’t play anymore. “
The gust of wind turned into a blade and slashed, and the masked man and the crow had to quickly turn into black mist and dissipate in the mountains and forests.
The next moment, a vague shadow floated on the blood-stained grass leaves, the shadow was blown by the wind and dissipated like morning mist.*
*()
In the distance, among countless trees, a young man carrying a rattan basket seemed to smell something. He stood up and looked towards this place. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate countless obstacles.
Outside the examination room, the viewerss of Country N who screamed at the black screen were still reeling from shock.
The death of the student of their own country means that they will experience an “abnormal natural disaster” within 24 hours.
No one can predict where this natural disaster will fall on the country, but according to the size of Country N, no matter where it falls, one-third of the citizens will be in danger. If it unfortunately falls in a densely populated city like H City…
“Ah! It’s over!”
“This is God’s test…ah!” The pastor repeatedly cried out in anguish.
“I want to go home! I’m not even a local!” There are also foreigners stranded in Country N crying, but what’s the use?
“I didn’t expect the masked man who was so easy to talk to just now become so violent.” The viewerss in Ninth State who came back from the live broadcast room of the student of Country N discussed the follow-up in the relevant forum with lingering fear.
“An abnormal monster’s mood is as unpredictable as the June weather.”
“Having said that, after experiencing so many abnormal natural disasters, this small country still exists, which is also quite amazing.”
“That is, after all, the monster room of East Asia. It is not obvious in peacetime, but at this time, the terrifying cohesion of the Confucian cultural circle can be seen. Three years after the advent of the Hunger Academy, no country in East Asia has been offline. I just want to ask you if it is scary? Other places are… hey.”
Thinking of a small black world map, he suddenly couldn’t laugh.
The students’ exploration will not stop because of the death of one person. As the students explore the mountains and forests, the first resource treasure chest in this instance is found.
It is found by a student from a certain F continent country. He got a small piece of forest resources through the original color wooden box, and the viewerss of this country cheered.
The head of the Ninth State Command saw it, but he was not envious.
His members are analyzing this instance based on the intelligence they have obtained – although it is useless for the student who is already in the instance, it can also increase experience for later generations.
Analyzing the vegetation and weather conditions, combined with the representative clothing and embroidery patterns on the NPCs, it can be basically determined that the instance is set in the southern part of Y continent, in a mountainous area where a certain ethnic minority lives, and the time is July and August.
The technology that is available to the students can also reveal a lot about the approximate era of this instance.
“You can’t tell anything from the handmade homespun clothes, but the weapons are mostly handmade cold weapons, mainly axes, shovels, and machetes. A very small number of people start with a modified hunting rifle.
“The students’ response strategy is mainly defensive. Most of them took the initiative to retreat to the back mountain, and only a few people were preparing weapons and traps. This instance is probably an escape type. In addition to facing strange and unpredictable anomalies, students must also be prepared to make and use makeshift weapons.”
“If you have the ability to survive in the mountains, the best response strategy is to wait for the opportunity and hide in the mountains to seek shelter from the natural environment albeit tire yourself out.”
They analyzed the route that is most suitable for student Ji Xinghai. When someone announced.
“Ji Xinghai has gone down the mountain.”
