PS.
Here is today's update. At the same time, I want to get some votes for the Qidian 515 Fan Festival. Everyone gets 8 votes. You can also get some coins for voting. I beg for your support!]
Lin Sanjiu bit her lower lip tightly as she listened to the gurgling sound of blood in her eardrums. She had to use all her strength just to remain silent.
The situation was very clear now.
After being poked a few times by Lin Sanjiu, Qing Jiuliu finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly asked, "Which of your candidates was taken away?"
"Who else?" Irezumi pulled a long face and said, "... Other than you two idiots, I only have one more idiot left on my hands. It's the one who's even more handsome than you."
"Younger than me. I will talk to you about this later." Qing Jiuliu felt another poke in his back. He quickly changed his topic, "He is not a consular officer. How could he disguise himself as one? If he couldn't issue a visa, wouldn't he be exposed? "
"Who knows what an idiot is thinking?" Irezumi frowned. Obviously, he was also a little confused. "I don't know how he could maintain his facade for so long …"
Lin Sanjiu sighed deeply in her heart.
Irezumi didn't know, but she had a guess. If there was only one person in the world who could disguise himself as a consular officer, that person had to be Ji Shanqing.
"What do you plan to do now?" Qing Jiuliu didn't look like he was drunk at all. His eyes were wide awake, "As an arbiter, shouldn't you go and look for him?"
"Well …" Irezumi blinked his yellow snake eyes, "If he is dead, he will be removed from the list. There is nothing to say. However, he is still alive and the trial is not over yet. Therefore, he is still in the process of the trial. According to the rules, an arbiter can cooperate with the candidates during the trial, but we can't help the candidates get out of danger. The only thing I can do is to check his coordinates and see if he has escaped. Sigh, I need to find a few more candidates … Hey, this has nothing to do with you. Why are you so concerned about him? "
After saying a lot, he suddenly came to a realization.
Seeing that Irezumi had already given up on Ji Shanqing, Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to bite the tip of her tongue to prevent herself from making any sound.
When she met that strange woman just now, the other party didn't use any ability at all.
Unlike Hei Zeji, Puppeteer, and the others, Lin Sanjiu did not feel pressured by the strong at all. She was so calm and elegant. Every inch of her seemed to have been painstakingly painted by God. However, there was something else about her that made her seem cold and distant.
It was this hint of coldness that made Lin Sanjiu have no doubt that she would be much scarier than Puppeteer or Santa Claus when she turned hostile.
How long could Ji Shanqing maintain his identity after being captured by such a person?
If Lin Sanjiu didn't want to know what Irezumi would do next, she wouldn't be standing there in a daze. Seeing that he couldn't help her at all, she didn't want to waste any more time. She tugged at Qing Jiuliu's sleeve and decided to set off immediately.
"Going back like this is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack."
Just as Qing Jiuliu turned his head, Mrs. Manas suddenly spoke.
Her voice was slow and unhurried, "You have to rely on this snake-eyed arbiter and use the tracking device he planted to find your friend."
"I have no choice but to look for him myself because he won't do anything!"
"Regarding this, I have an idea."
"What idea?" Lin Sanjiu asked anxiously.
"The reason why he can't do anything is because the trial is still ongoing. As an arbiter, he can't take the initiative to help a candidate … Am I right?" Mrs. Manas seemed to sense Lin Sanjiu's anxiety, so her voice became even gentler, "Then, you just need to end this trial. Everything will be fine."
"End —" Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
"As long as you release the corpse in your hand, you and Qing Jiuliu will be the winner of this trial. However, a candidate has to fail three consecutive trials before they will be disqualified. Your friend has only failed once, so he is still a valid candidate. " When Irezumi reached this part of her sentence, she smiled at Lin Sanjiu's sudden excitement, "As the arbiter, Irezumi has to inform every candidate about the content of the next trial. In other words, he has to come to the candidates personally, no matter where they are."
If that happened, Irezumi would have no choice but to look for Ji Shanqing!
Lin Sanjiu's spirits were lifted. The haze in her mind was almost swept away, "That's right. When Irezumi announces the next trial, I will follow him. I will definitely find the grand prize!"
Mrs. Manas smiled faintly and did not say anything else. At this moment, Qing Jiuliu, who had turned around and waited for Lin Sanjiu in vain, had lost his patience. He poked Lin Sanjiu, "Brother Lin? Why are you in a daze? "
Lin Sanjiu nodded at him. She wasn't sure if he understood what she meant or not. Then, she raised her hand and a card flew out from under the black cloth. Just as it was about to land on the ground in front of Irezumi, a humanoid figure suddenly materialized out of thin air with a loud thud.
It had only been a day, but the female corpse's body had turned green. Her lips were as white as a dead fish that had been out of water for too long. She lay stiffly on the floor. One of her arms was slightly dislocated due to a mismatch. However, other than the perpetrator, it was difficult to notice this detail.
Irezumi glanced at the two people in confusion. When he looked at the corpse on the floor again, his eyes immediately widened, "Huh? This can't be the trial target, right? "
"Why do you always do this kind of ambush?" Qing Jiuliu turned around and grumbled in a very low voice, "We only got half of our statement right —"
"Is this really the trial objective?" Irezumi's voice interrupted Qing Jiuliu's grumbling. Both of them immediately shut their mouths. Irezumi crouched down beside the female corpse. He still had a look of disbelief on his face, "Did the two of you do this? Let me see … "
Lin Sanjiu and Qing Jiuliu couldn't help feeling a little nervous when they saw Irezumi frowning and examining the female corpse. They looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.
In order to hide the stitches on the corpse, they had purposely covered the corpse with a few layers of clothes. They even tore the parts where there were no stitches to make the corpse look as natural as possible. However, the corpse was, after all, pieced together. It was very likely that they would give the game away when they didn't expect it to happen.
It was hard to discern Irezumi's emotions from his yellow snake eyes.
He raised his head expressionlessly and looked at the two people in front of him. Then, he lowered his head and stared at the female corpse for a while. Even the air seemed to have frozen. After some time, he suddenly put his hand into his pocket and said, "Wait a minute. I forgot what the trial objective is."
Lin Sanjiu's heart almost slipped out of her chest.
"Hmm, her height is about 1.8 meters," Irezumi held a crumpled piece of paper in his hand. He looked at the paper and then at the corpse, "I have the bandage too. The length of her hair is around the collarbone … "
Lin Sanjiu had specially cut Queenie's hair according to the length of her own hair.
"The physical characteristics match," Irezumi folded the paper and put it away. Irezumi folded the papers neatly and put them away. Then, he said sternly, "Now, it's your turn to ask questions. First of all, what is her name? "
Qing Jiuliu shot a glance at the person covered in black cloth beside him and answered, "Lin Sanjiu."
"Oh, right." Irezumi raised his finger. He seemed a little excited, "Which of the Twelve Worlds Centrum did she destroy?"
Qing Jiuliu's lips quivered. In the end, he couldn't hold it in any longer, "You have already told us about this. It was Red Nautilus."
"Huh?" Irezumi was stunned. "Oh, yes, I did say that … Okay, next question is, what is the name of the Centrum that she destroyed?"
"Slaves Training Camp."
"You got it right again! I really don't know which cloud has rain … "Irezumi sighed," Now, I have one last question. If you can answer this one, both of you will have successfully completed the trial. "
Lin Sanjiu's heart thumped twice. Her mind started racing. If Irezumi happened to ask a question that Qing Jiuliu didn't know the answer to, how should she inform him secretly?
"After this woman destroyed the Slaves Training Camp, she took away a war slave reserved by a client. The last question is, how many war slaves did she take away? "
The words "war slaves she took away" made Lin Sanjiu fall into a daze for a moment.
When Reno and Rena parted ways with her in Red Nautilus, the image of the siblings getting further and further away and getting smaller and smaller appeared before Lin Sanjiu's eyes once again. The teenage girl buried her head in her brother's side. Her shoulders trembled as she cried silently … It was as if she knew that she would never see Lin Sanjiu again.
Those two children had clearly made up their minds to say goodbye forever.
"Why did I only realize this now?"
When Qing Jiuliu answered, "Two," Lin Sanjiu snapped out of her reverie. Then, Irezumi slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's right!" He immediately let out a long sigh and lay lazily on a chair. He propped his chin on the back of the chair without the slightest sense of propriety.
"Haha, I didn't expect the two of you to be so capable," Irezumi seemed to be even more excited than the two candidates. His eyes were bright yellow as he said, "... Finally, it's my candidate's turn to win! Hahaha, that idiot with bangs is not going to be so smug this time. "
It seemed that everyone was an idiot in Irezumi's eyes. While Irezumi was looking for something in his backpack, Lin Sanjiu quickly pointed at Irezumi and gave Qing Jiuliu a look.
"I say, Arbiter … Arbiter?"
Qing Jiuliu called out a little hesitantly. "Are we candidates for the second level now? What's the content of the trial next? "
"Second level? There's still a long way to go. We haven't even started yet. " Irezumi didn't even turn his head. He took out a black box that looked a little like a small suitcase, "There are a few trials for each level. When there are no more trials left, only the candidates who have not fulfilled the condition to retreat can advance to the next level."
As he spoke, he opened the suitcase. On one side of the suitcase was a screen. On the other side was a row of buttons that looked simple and crude. It didn't look like a Special Item. Instead, it looked more like a modern technological product made from leftover resources.
After Irezumi pulled out an antenna from the corner of the suitcase, he ignored the two candidates behind him. At that moment, the screen flickered a few times and lit up with an indistinguishable color. After Irezumi patted the suitcase a few times, the color gradually became clearer. Accompanied by the sound of static electricity, it formed the shape of number 46. Lin Sanjiu was shocked.
Lin Sanjiu was startled. She quickly lowered her head and covered half of her face with the black cloth.
When her gaze fell on Irezumi's smug face, Number 46 suddenly waved his hand as if he was very tired. He stopped Irezumi from opening his mouth, "You don't have to say anything. Let me see the corpse."
Irezumi's mouth was half open. His face was filled with disappointment after his excitement had been dashed. After a short pause, he carried the suitcase and pointed it at the female corpse on the ground.
On the grayish-white screen that flickered from time to time, Number 46 stared at the corpse. He slowly raised one of his eyebrows.
"Interesting," he muttered softly. He raised his eyes and looked at the blurry shadows of the two candidates behind Irezumi. "Have you asked all the questions? Did you match them? "
"Yes," Irezumi answered happily, "Don't worry. It's definitely the target."
Lin Sanjiu's heartbeat was so loud that Qing Jiuliu couldn't help but look at her.
"Oh … I don't have anything to worry about," Number 46 chuckled. His gaze lingered on the black robe for a moment. "Since you said it's the target, it must be the target. Congratulations, your two candidates have completed the trial. Oh, right. Don't you have another candidate? Where is he? "
The moment Lin Sanjiu asked that question, the smile on Irezumi's face melted like the snow on the ice. With a long face, he told Number 46 everything he knew. When Irezumi said, "I'll look for him later," Lin Sanjiu was startled. Before she could rejoice, Number 46 suddenly interrupted Irezumi.
"You don't have to go," Number 46 said calmly. "Based on what you said, I think I know who kidnapped him. You can just assume that the candidate is dead. "
Irezumi was stunned.
"Falling into her hands is equivalent to entering another world. You won't be able to get him back."
