The puppets' stage play

"What do you mean?" Qi Xiu walked a few steps quickly and walked side by side with him.

Gong Shoucheng smiled mysteriously, did not answer, and walked a little faster, heading deeper.

Qi Xiu looked slightly sideways and motioned for several people to follow him. A Shou, Moxibustion Blade, and Li Duo all responded.

"Where are you going?"

Qi Xiu recognized the direction. There was a deserted area further ahead. There were indeed some people living there, but they had no contact with the outside world and lived alone. He just wondered why the other party went there.

"You've seen the content of that video, right? It's the 'massacre' scene." Gong Shoucheng changed the topic without looking back.

"Do you have to go there?" Qi Xiu frowned, feeling that he was wasting his time.

"I'm just curious whether that scene is fake or real. This will determine my future course of action." Gong Shoucheng turned his head and his face was full of smiles, but his voice was extremely serious.

"We don't have much time. In other words, do you think the day of our meeting is counted within the three days given to us?"

"...Forget it." Qi Xiu subconsciously wanted to give a no answer, but then he thought that Kang Tainian only said that he would give them three days, but did not say when it would end.

Looking at Qi Xiu's confused expression, Gong Shoucheng smiled and nodded.

"Yes, the time given to us has already reached the second day. Let me ask you again, do you think the academy will turn a blind eye to the monsters and let them develop just to assess us?"

"Even if it's only three days? Besides, you know after seeing the result of that negotiation that the other party must also know our final time."

"So, judging from Professor Kang's attitude, what do you think he will do?"

Facing Gong Shoucheng's slightly testing eyes, Qi Xiu nodded deeply, understanding flashing in his eyes.

"He will take action in advance, and the time will be at some point tomorrow."

"Yes, so you understand why I keep saying that time is running out, right? We can only get enough points by achieving enough results before the end of the second day."

"Although I don't think Professor Kang will take action against us, a wise person should stand high when a crisis comes. This saying is indeed true. We cannot pray for the kindness of others and must have enough confidence to deal with risks."

"Besides, do you think the information we saw can be easily disclosed? This assessment must also be a screening, and those who fail will be forcibly forgotten."

Gong Shoucheng walked with a leisurely attitude. Although he was talking about a heavy topic, his eyes were full of fun and he was obviously extremely happy.

"Brother Du, this is the last time for these monsters. We will never see them again. Naturally, I have to clear up my confusion, otherwise I will leave deep regrets."

Gong Shoucheng's demeanor gradually became more solemn, and his words carried weight.

"I long to see all races living together in harmony and gathering together, where everyone is friendly and loves each other."

"Without restrictions of status, everyone can speak freely and no longer have to worry about trivial matters in life."

"Brother Du, do you know? The elders have always raised us with the creed of nobility, goodwill, piety, and heavy commitment, but they themselves treat other people in this world with inferiority, greed, broken promises, and violence."

"Everyone is fighting for power and gain, but that ugly face makes us disappointed. We are no longer naive. Some of the people I know also think that is the reality. They take the initiative to plunge into it, and the longer they sink, the longer they can't extricate themselves."

"I am not willing to accept it, so I go to connect with the young people who are also unwilling to fall. Although we cannot stop our elders, at least in this era we are still working hard. We all perform our duties and keep working hard for the same dream."

"Those who give flowers are covered in mud, and those who bless newborns are covered in blood. Dude, we live in such an era. For this reason, we decide to abandon naivety and move forward with awareness."

"We are both covered in mud and blood. Even if our hands are dirty, our hearts are not muddy. We are more evil than evil people. Being kind to those who are kind makes our world a better place."

"Dude, I'm eager for you to join us. We can fight for an ideal together. Isn't this a very valuable thing?"

Gong Shoucheng's eyes shone brightly and he looked at Qi Xiu sincerely, his expression extremely serious.

Qi Xiu had no expression on his face and shook his head indifferently.

"Everything you have has nothing to do with me, I only follow my own path."

"Well, I wish you good luck in the future, but if there is a storm, you might as well come to us for help. I'm always waiting." Gong Shoucheng felt a little disappointed when he heard the rejection, but he was not angry, and then blessed him with a smile on his face. .

During the conversation between the two, they gradually approached their destination. The place that was originally an open space in front of them was now filled with houses, and there was a little demon closely guarding the door near the entrance.

Gong Shoucheng paused for a moment and looked at it carefully for a moment.

"That's probably the deer demon." There was no doubt in his words, and Qi Xiu agreed in his heart.

The two of them looked at each other and walked towards the door in tacit understanding. When passing by the guard, Gong Shoucheng took a breath and walked past calmly without changing his expression. Qi Xiu glanced at him and assessed the opponent's level, feeling in his heart. Quite disappointed.

He ignored it and walked in with his head buried in it. Several people behind him followed him silently. He glanced lightly at the moxibustion blade and sighed in his heart. The other party was obviously not valued by the owner.

Gong Shoucheng and others strode forward and reached the center, but their expressions became strange.

"Shen Daoyan? What is he doing?" Gong Shoucheng frowned, feeling that something was very wrong with the other party.

"Uh...well" Qi Xiu pondered for a moment, but was speechless.

In the open space not far ahead, a group of people gathered together in an extremely enthusiastic mood, cheering for their respective people.

"Hey yo hey yo, pull out, pull out"

"One, two, three, use your strength."

In the middle field, the two teams each wore a red and blue headscarf, holding a rope in their hands, and competed with each other with red faces.

It was obviously a tug-of-war, and Shin Daoyan was wearing a red scarf, his face was full of excitement, he was shirtless, and he was also participating in a pair of pants.

Both sides were composed of five burly men. Shen Daoyan was thin and had no idea how he got in. Originally, when his contribution was less than that of the other side, the other side would have won a deserved victory.

But now they were in a stalemate. Qi Xiu looked closely and saw Shen Daoyan's wrist guard shining slightly, which was obviously cheating.

"I have always heard that Shen Daoyan is aloof and mean, and is indifferent to his subordinates... It seems that I was wrong." Gong Shoucheng's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, you are wrong. He is obviously enjoying it, and I am afraid he has even forgotten the purpose of coming here." Qi Xiu complained silently.

"Come on! Brother Shen~" Xiaohua loves you, mom! A 'masculine' voice came from the mouth of the black and strong 'big man' who was watching, and the end of the sentence was extremely high-pitched and tactful.

"Young man Zhen, if you win, I will leave all my body 'maintenance' to you throughout the year." Not to be outdone, the aunt with a pockmarked face tried her best to encourage the other party, looking fiercely at the strong man, and turned their heads.

The surrounding men looked at the two of them with fear and tacitly agreed to stay away from the battlefield. The yellow-toothed old man laughed and looked at someone who was sweating profusely.

Shen Daoyan forced a smile. He didn't know whether they wanted him to lose or to die. He had obviously kept a low profile as much as possible and didn't want to arouse more 'love'.

Why, why, my charm would be used in such a place, he lamented in his heart.

In the end, while he was distracted, the blue team won beautifully. The other players on the red team turned to look at Shen Daoyan, with wild beast-like blood in their eyes, and pounced on him.

"Don't! Don't! I was wrong!" As Shen Daoyan cried out in pain and begged, people laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Gong Shoucheng was in a daze, with some envy in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and still stood still.

Qi Xiu glanced at the other party. He clearly wanted to go over and join in, but was prevented by his own reason. It was really sad and regretful. There was also a trace of confusion in his eyes.

He couldn't empathize with it, but there was a vague scene like this in his past memory. Qi Xiu shook his head, after all, it was just a thing of the past, not worth remembering. His eyes condensed, and his whole person returned to his senses.

"Over there?" At this moment, he heard some commotion in his ears. He looked intently and saw a group of people approaching.

The leader had an indifferent look on his face. He looked dismissively at the people who were in a somewhat frozen atmosphere and looked directly at someone who was still a little confused.

"Take away" he said coldly. The dog demon behind him came up and was about to take the person away.

The old man with yellow teeth stood in front of Shen Daoyan and looked directly at him without fear.

"I wonder what Mr. Chenhuo thinks. If you openly go to the 'Special Area' to arrest people, does it mean that your original agreement has not counted?"

Chen Xiao glanced at him coldly, with some sarcasm on his lips. He was impatient in his heart. He just wanted to complete the task quickly and continue to practice, so that he could catch up with the opponent and challenge the opponent.

He thought of a certain figure with an arrogant expression, and his heart was filled with passion, and he became less and less interested in ignoring the other person. Anyway, the agreement was that he would not hurt them, but he did not say anything about the outsider.

Chenhuo coughed and was about to catch the person with his own hands.

"Commander Chenhuo, have you crossed the line?" A gentle voice accompanied the roar of the earth, and a certain figure gradually came into view.

Chen Xiao's face suddenly darkened, the troublesome guy was coming.
