Another Scolding and Crying
All candidates, please take note that the first segment of the Crisis grade assessment has ended. All candidates are to report back to the base camp immediately. From now on, none of you are allowed to make any moves, or you will be disqualified. Injured candidates, please press the yellow button on your communicator and await medical assistance.
The sun had just risen when the white watch in Xia Feis hand repeatedly announced the end of the assessment. Xia Feis spit on the ground as he followed the instructions on his watch and headed for the gathering point.
Xia Fei had a very bad feeling about Xiao Yu's mysterious disappearance. He did his best to control his emotions, not wanting to think about the worst-case scenario.
Now, he could only place his hopes on the Adjudicator Union. After all, the chances of Xia Fei searching alone were too slim.
Maintaining a speed of 180m/s, Xia Fei could see four large black spaceships in the distance, lined up in a row on an empty space.
There were more and more examinees surrounding them. Most of them had either light or heavy injuries. Their faces were tired, and they were covered in dust. They were no longer as excited as they had been at the start of the examination. Regardless of whether they had obtained the keepsake or not, after seven days of hell, everyone longed for a hot bath and a sumptuous lunch.
Thousands of staff members from the Adjudicator Union were lined up in a row, registering the returning candidates.
In the distance, two candidates suddenly got into a scuffle over a token. The Adjudicator closest to them immediately rushed over to stop the conflict and even taught them a small lesson.
Now that things had come to this, it was all too late no matter how hard they tried. Everyone's fate had already been decided the moment the announcement was made.
Xia Fei swept his gaze across the staff members, and a pair of alluring legs was particularly eye-catching. It was none other than the female Adjudicator who had received Xia Fei and Xiao Yu back then, Ye Xiaohan.
Do you remember that little girl who came from Earth just like me? Xia Fei came to a screeching halt beside Ye Xiaohan as he hurriedly asked.
Ye Xiaohan was expressionless as she used the device in her hand to scan Xia Feis wristwatch to verify his identity.
Do you need medical treatment? Ye Xiaohan asked in a cold tone.
I'm not injured, but the little girl who was with me might be injured. To be more precise, she has been kidnapped! Xia Fei said loudly.
Yelling at a beautiful woman was obviously not something to be proud of. Ye Xiaohan's colleagues and students all cast unfriendly glances at him.
"Did you obtain the token to enter the next stage?" Ye Xiaohan continued to ask, her attitude cold and mechanical.
Xia Fei took out a token for the second stage from his spatial ring and handed it to Ye Xiaohan. Actually, Xia Fei had another token in his spatial ring, but that token did not belong to him but to Xiao Yu.
Xia Fei, serial number 70563, may participate in the second round of assessment. Ye Xiaohan did what she was supposed to do and raised her head to look at the other candidates, as if hinting for Xia Fei to leave her alone.
"I still have something important to tell you."
"What is it?"
Xia Fei did his best to explain Xiao Yu's disappearance to Ye Xiaohan in a gentle tone.
"It's very normal for people to go missing or die during the assessment. You all have already signed a life and death contract before participating in the assessment. The contract clearly states that the Adjudicator Union will not be responsible for any deaths or injuries that occur during the assessment as a result of fights between candidates," Ye Xiaohan said very calmly.
Xia Fei's eyes stared straight into Ye Xiaohan's eyes. For some reason, Ye Xiaohan felt a little flustered when Xia Fei looked at her like that, but her expression remained cold, not showing any signs of it.
"Trust me; this is definitely not an accident," Xia Fei said seriously. "First, the person who kidnapped Xiao Yu is traveling at a speed of over 4,700m/s. Considering that he still needs to carry Xiao Yu, his actual top speed should be over 5,000m/s.
"A speed of over 5,000m/s is already at the Star River rank, and the rank requirement for this assessment is between the Starry Sky rank and the Star Domain rank. From this, it can be seen that this person is not a candidate.
"Second, this person did not care about the token for the second round and only had the goal of kidnapping Xiao Yu, so he can't be a candidate hiding his strength.
"Third, I've been following his footprints and discovered that they suddenly disappeared in the west. Tell me, if he is a candidate, how did he suddenly disappear from the assessment venue? And why did he give up on the assessment?
"Fourth, Xiao Yu's special ability is Amethyst Guardian. You should know how powerful the Amethyst Guardian is. Is it possible for a candidate who doesn't exceed the Star Domain rank to kidnap another candidate who has the Amethyst Guardian special ability without any conflict?
"Based on the above four reasons, I can conclude that the person who kidnapped Xiao Yu is definitely not one of the examinees, but an outsider! An outsider with at least the cultivation of the Star River rank! "
Xia Fei was getting more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice involuntarily became louder. The hundreds of people who did not know the truth were all listening to their conversation.
Ye Xiaohan quietly listened to Xia Fei's analysis before coldly saying, "This is only your deduction and cannot be used as evidence. Unless you can produce effective evidence to prove that an outsider kidnapped a candidate for this assessment, we will not accept such a complaint."
Xia Fei took a few deep breaths to restrain his excitement.
"I request to check the monitoring information of the assessment."
Ye Xiaohan shook her head. "Sorry, you don't have the authority to look up any information about this assessment, but we will announce the final results of the first round of assessment before noon local time. If your friend is still on this planet, then we will definitely get her location and send her back to the camp, dead or alive."
"How do I check the results of the assessment?"
"Before noon, the results of the first round will be announced on the interplanetary internet to the entire star region."
Xia Fei ignored her and walked toward his dormitory.
"I admit that you are a very beautiful woman, but do you know what you are missing?" Xia Fei took out a Hongtashan cigarette from his pocket as he walked and said plainly, "You lack the human touch."
Xia Fei's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally piercing to Ye Xiaohan's ears.
A busybody nearby covered his mouth and snickered. Ye Xiaohan glared at him, and he quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet the eyes of this icy beauty.
Glancing at Xia Fei's back, Ye Xiaohan fell into deep thought. "Am I really that unreasonable?"
After taking a cold shower, Xia Fei sat on the bed and smoked a Hongtashan cigarette. The bed beside him still had the lingering scent of Xiao Yu. It was a fragrance unique to a young girl, like milk with flower petals added to it, leaving a lasting impression.
Though he was feeling terrible, Xia Fei remained calm. There was no point in complaining or getting angry. All Xia Fei could do now was wait patiently and quickly recover his stamina in preparation for the second assessment in three days.
After changing into a clean set of clothes, Xia Fei went to the dining room and had a steaming hot meal before returning to his room to rest. He set his alarm for noon so that he could be the first to know the final results of the assessment.
The moment his head hit the pillow, Xia Fei immediately went to sleep. He had not slept for seven days straight, and he was already extremely exhausted.
In his sleep, Xia Fei had a dream. It was a sunny afternoon many years later. Xia Fei was walking on a crowded street when a slender and elegant young lady suddenly appeared in front of him. She was wearing a beautiful white dress, and her refreshing short hair was flowing in the wind.
She had a sweet smile on her face as she walked toward Xia Fei.
Xia Fei felt that this young lady looked very familiar, and he could not help but want to pinch her tender cheeks. Unfortunately, his surroundings were suddenly plunged into endless darkness. Xia Fei hurriedly searched his body for something that could light up the place, but he could not find it no matter what.
In the darkness, that white silhouette brushed past him, gradually getting further and further away. Xia Fei could only watch helplessly as she left, unable to do anything.
That was when the ear-piercing alarm woke him up from his sleep.
Rubbing his eyes, Xia Fei jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water. The reflection of himself in the mirror seemed to be a little darker and thinner than a few days ago, and he also had a bit more vigor that he did not have before.
Back in his room, Xia Fei put on his virtual reality glasses and connected to the interplanetary internet. He wanted to check the final name list of the Adjudicator Union. If the Adjudicator Union could not find Xiao Yu after an entire morning of searching, then her name would be added with the word missing.
The Adjudicator Union was extremely powerful. If even they believed that Xiao Yu was missing, then the chances of Xia Fei finding her would be very slim.
Successfully logging into the Endaro Star Region Adjudicator Union's website, Xia Fei pulled up the name list for the first round of assessment, and his eyes were glued to it.
The list of 100,000 candidates was very long, and every name was marked with their status. If it was marked as Eliminated or Heavily Injured, he would be able to see the photo of the candidate after clicking on it, as well as the details of their injuries. The Adjudicator Union was very meticulous in this regard, and it would be very easy for the family of the candidate to check.
Xia Fei was anxiously searching for Xiao Yu's name on the list. All of a sudden, a 3D video unreasonably interrupted Xia Fei's search.
In the video, Avril was sitting in her room with a pout. The room was very big, and it was filled with pink decorations. Even the bedsheets and the plush toys on the table were all dressed in pink.
Youre willing to use an anonymous account that you bought from the black market just to avoid me. Am I really that annoying? Avril said pitifully.
Xia Fei was anxiously looking into Xiao Yu's situation, yet he was interrupted by Avril's nonsense. He could not help but feel an inexplicable rage rising in his heart. Frowning, Xia Fei snapped, Get lost!
The pitiful Avril was stunned. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that after spending so much effort to find Xia Fei, all she would get in return was an angry scolding.
She lowered her head, a pair of fair and tender hands constantly rubbing the corner of her clothes. Tears uncontrollably fell from the corner of her eyes. Grievance, sadness, helplessness; too many emotions were entangled in this young lady's heart.
