"Since you know who I am, you should also know my strength," said Shen Xixi. "Why? Is the threshold for Deep Sea Hunter to recruit newcomers higher than I thought?"
"Well … the threshold for Deep Sea Hunter to recruit newcomers is not high. At this time, we can't be picky anymore." The man in the flowery shirt said as he handed the surfboard to the receptionist at the front desk. "Your name is well-known among the players, and your strength is obvious to all. Let alone becoming a member of the Deep Sea Hunters, it wouldn't be a problem for you to become the commander of this operation."
"So, you are afraid that I will take your position?"
"No, I rejected you not because of your strength," the man in the colorful shirt smiled. You and Zhang Heng are too close. Rumor has it that on that night in the valley, you brought people to stop your teacher, Justitia, the Goddess of Justice, from attacking Zhang Heng. In a sense, you are partly responsible for the world becoming like this. "Zhang Heng's eyes lit up." I'll be frank with you. You and Zhang Heng are too close.
"However," the man in the colorful shirt changed the topic, "I didn't bring this up to question you. Otherwise, the Deep Sea Hunters wouldn't have not looked for you for so long. We know that you have been dealing with those messy clubs with your two subordinates. I think it's pretty good. Why don't you continue to do it?"
"Because this kind of thing is meaningless," Shen Xixi said lightly.
"Oh, you didn't realize this until yesterday? I thought you knew all along that you were just trying your best to keep yourself busy so that you would feel less guilty. Or perhaps you were using this method to chase after the footsteps of your crush. Some people say that he has no feelings at all. Is that true? So, this is destined to be a one-sided love. "
"Can mocking me help Deep Sea Hunter save the world?" Shen Xixi asked rhetorically.
"No, I just want you to understand why I refused to let you join Deep Sea Hunter."
"What reason?"
Faced with Shen Xixi who was determined to get to the bottom of it, the man in the colorful shirt sighed. "Because how do I know if you will do what you did in the valley that night again after joining Deep Sea Hunter? Sorry, although I am willing to believe you and give you another chance, I have to be responsible for my team members. "
"If you had said that from the beginning, I might have been willing to treat you as a man." Shen Xixi's expression did not change.
"Of course you can mock me. Just treat it as me paying back for mocking you before. It's very fair." The man in the fancy shirt shrugged. "But after scolding me, you'd better leave this place honestly. Go home to spend time with your parents and friends, or find a little wolf dog to experience physical pleasure. In short, make the last days of your life more meaningful. If you need, we can help you book a plane ticket. After all, this place used to be a travel agency."
The man in the fancy shirt told a lame joke, but it didn't work. Then, he saw Shen Xixi throw the travel bag she was carrying on the ground.
"There's no need to go that far, is there a need to make the scene so ugly?" The man in the flowery shirt was also dumbfounded. "Are you going to say that if I don't take you in, you'll eat and sleep here?"
"You are a coward," Shen Xixi said.
"This title is quite unfamiliar to me. Those who are willing to join the Deep Sea Hunter have put their own life and death aside. They are true warriors. Do you think these warriors will be willing to accept a coward's leadership?" The man in the fancy shirt shook his head. "Well, I don't want to argue with you anymore. It seems like I am bullying you. Cindy, book her the next flight and call a taxi to take her to the airport."
After that, he turned around and was about to go upstairs.
But just as he took a step, he heard Shen Xixi's voice behind him. "I said you are a coward because you keep saying that you don't intend to pursue what I did in the valley. But you don't accept me as a Deep Sea Hunter. In fact, you want to punish me. You don't even dare to admit it in front of me.
"Oh, for an arrogant man like you, you probably think that as long as a woman sees you, she will be unable to extricate herself from your charm. So when you realized that I have no interest in you at all, you felt that your dignity as a man was deeply offended."
The man in the fancy shirt was so angry that he laughed. Just as he was about to say something, Shen Xixi interrupted him. "Don't talk nonsense about the safety of your men and the smooth operation. I just want to ask you a question. What do you think the chances of the humans winning this operation?"
"Less than ten percent." When it came to business, the man in the fancy shirt finally became serious. "We have missed the best opportunity to kill him. As time goes by, he will become stronger and stronger."
"That's where the problem lies. You are already on a suicide mission. One more traitor won't make this journey any worse. On the contrary, if you let me on board, I can at least provide some help. You said that the current situation doesn't allow you to be picky anymore. Even if it's just a little bit of hope, you should seize it, right?" Shen Xixi said.
"I have to admit that your eloquence is really good. You almost convinced me. Really, just a little bit more." The man in the fancy shirt gestured an almost imperceptible distance with his index finger and thumb.
"Don't you want to know who is more charming between you and him? If you don't let me on board, how can I compare?" Shen Xixi said faintly.
"Heh," the man in the fancy shirt finally laughed. "Everyone says that your intelligence is not inferior to the leaders of the three major guilds. I finally see it today … Although I know that you are just using my male pride to get on board, I seem to have found a reason to refuse."
"So, I can join the Deep Sea Hunters?" Shen Xixi asked.
"No," the man in the fancy shirt said. "Before that, you have to go through a check-up. Don't worry, these check-up items are only to confirm if you can withstand a long voyage at sea, and if you have decided to sacrifice your life to fight against evil forces and save the world. After all, we will soon go to sea, and there is a high probability that we will never come back. As long as you can pass the physical examination, you will be one of the Deep Sea Hunters."
"I will pass the test. When do we leave?" Shen Xixi asked.
"We will leave in two days when the people and equipment are here," the man in the fancy shirt said and continued to walk upstairs. But just as he was about to step on the stairs, he looked back and said, "Oh, right. I almost forgot."
"What?"
"Welcome to the voyage to hell."
