"You should go back..."

Tang Chao tilted his head and looked at Ren Jie, his eyes full of warning. Ren Jie stood in this position, and once the countdown ended, he would also be eliminated.

And Ren Jie could only grit his teeth, turn around and walk forward...

Shu Ge, who was lying on the ground, looked at Ren Jie's retreating figure, his eyes full of stubbornness, he took a deep breath and crawled forward with all his strength.

Even if the bones were crushed to pieces, he would recover and continue to crawl forward. Even if the nails fell off, the skin was worn, and the body was covered with blood stains, Shu Ge didn't care.

At this moment, she just wants to move forward! Move forward again!

Under the eighth-floor wall, Mo Wanrou forced herself to sit up and kept shouting to Shu Ge, "Come on!"

Jiang Jiuli paced anxiously back and forth on the ninth level, encouraging Shu Ge. Lu Chenmei Qian, who was on the tenth level, shouted slogans and kept cheering, and the anxiety in his heart almost jumped out.

Shu Ge kept crawling, and blood kept pouring out of her mouth. However, even if she tried her best, she still crawled very slowly.

Other contestants who are lagging behind are also working hard to compete for the final spot.

Shu Ge watched anxiously as he was overtaken by subsequent players, and looked at Ren Jie's increasingly distant figure.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

Shu Ge could clearly see the anxiety and encouragement on their faces, Mo Wanrou, Jiang Jiuli, Lu Chen, Mei Qian...

Everyone in the team... was ahead of me...

Leaving myself this far away...

When did I fall behind, and when did the gap widen?

Maybe... it was when Renjie, Xiaoli and the others practiced all night in the back mountain every night, lying in bed by themselves, watching short videos, shopping for Taobao, and falling asleep soundly.

Maybe... it's because every time I go through a crisis, I hide behind them, praying that the danger will pass quickly...

Maybe... it's because every time I practice, I feel tired, almost done, and when I go back to the dormitory to take a hot shower and catch up on variety shows...

Maybe...it was because I didn't want to take risks and decided to go to Lingquan to practice peacefully instead of going to the mountain and sea realm...

Every time the slightest difference accumulates, it becomes the current gap. Even if I try my best, I can't catch up with their gap.

"Oh no...I don't want this..."

But...it's too late.

One minute on stage and ten years of hard work off stage. This short ten minutes is the touchstone to test whether the contestants are really trying their best to climb up.

The test doesn’t just happen at this moment, it happens all the time...

If you are lazy during daily practice, you are fooling not others but yourself...

But when Shu Ge understood all this, it was too late.

Her dream of reaching the sky was completely shattered the moment the bell rang at the end of the assessment...

The gravity suddenly disappeared, and the pressure on Shu Ge suddenly lightened up. She sat on the ground blankly, looking at the passing line drawn by the Tang Dynasty...

Ren Jie and the others were all on the line, except for himself, who was excluded from the line.

Ranked…547th…

And oneself distance

The passing line is still tens of meters away, separated by more than thirty people...

Looking back, he saw the bloody trace that he had dragged out. He tried his best...but he only managed to crawl out a dozen meters.

The miracle did not come, because I am not worthy of a miracle because I am usually lazy.

At this moment, Shu Ge couldn't help but slowly clenched his fists...

Separated by a thin line, a world of difference...a difference of land...

Ren Jie rushed over immediately and held Shu Ge in his arms. Looking at the shocking wounds on her body, he quickly treated them with soil and put his coat on her body.

"It's okay, don't be discouraged, just try harder next time. You are already great, you have worked very hard!"

While talking, Ren Jie patted Shu Ge on the shoulder.

But Shu Ge couldn't bear it anymore, nestled in Ren Jie's arms, and cried loudly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I also want to go to the sky with you. I'm sorry...I'm not good at all, and I didn't work very hard. Wuwuwu..."

She tried her best, but Shu Ge couldn't say that. Every time she slacked off or was lazy, now it became a steel needle that stung her heart.

At this moment, Ren Jie didn't know how to comfort her. The murmur of "the price...has been paid" echoed in his mind...

The price of the Balrog is really unpleasant sometimes...

Jiang Jiuli, Mo Wanrou, Mei Qian and others also rushed over.

Jiang Jiuli couldn't help wiping Shu Ge's tears: "Don't cry anymore. It's not like we'll never see each other again. It's great to be able to fight like this!"

Mei Qian couldn't help but nod, with a serious face: "Even if we fail to advance, we are still friends, right?"

Lu Chen groaned for a long time but couldn't hold it in, so he pulled his hair and said: "No... you look good even without hair and eyebrows. There's nothing wrong with Pigeon!"

Shu Ge rubbed his eyes and burst out laughing, "If you don't know how to comfort, you don't need to comfort me. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. It doesn't matter if I'm eliminated, I won't be beaten again in the rankings."

"The next round of the competition is about to begin. Prepare well and show the style of our Jincheng Demon Hunting Academy. I will be waiting for you to return victoriously in the stands!"

Ren Jie wanted to say something more, but Shu Ge pushed his back: "Oh, go ahead and win the King of Heaven. My face will be bright."

At the end of the climb to the sky, the steps descended, the first 512 students were promoted, and the remaining eliminated students returned to their respective teams.

Shu Ge's back as he walked back to the stands was full of loneliness, and Ren Jie's eyes were filled with worry.

Lieyan called the police. Shu Ge was lying. She was not fine at all. So she just wanted everyone not to be distracted by her, right?

Shu Ge, who sat back in the stands, held the back of the chair in front of her with both hands, holding on tightly, burying her head in her arms, biting her lower lip, her crystal tears falling uncontrollably and hitting her shoes, and she suppressed her sobs. Very low…

Zhu An, the dean of Jincheng Demon Hunting Academy, sat next to Shu Ge with a cup of milk tea and patted her shoulder gently...

"As you can imagine, that passing line is a watershed in life. From this moment on, you will no longer be able to

Let’s go together…”

Shu Ge cried even louder for a while:

But Zhu An said softly: "But... this does not mean that your life is over..."

"There are people in this world who are brilliant, and there are people who are ordinary. Some people become the protagonists of the world, and some people become supporting actors. The question is, what kind of life do you want to live..."

"Do you think it's easy for Ren Jie and the others? If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. If you can do what others cannot, you must endure what others cannot..."

"They stand on the top of the peak, attracting countless eyes, and shaking the world. They climb all the way up, but correspondingly, they also have to endure corresponding dangers, sufferings, endless efforts, and double the sweat, in life and death. Wandering, this world...is always fair."

"Shu Ge... do you think you can live that kind of life? Is that... the life you want?"

Shu Ge was stunned. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhu An blankly. She... had never thought about this problem.

At this moment, Zhu An's eyes were full of memories: "Once upon a time, I became the laggard, watching him go further and further, watching him shine brightly, supporting the backbone of Daxia..."

"I am not willing to accept it. We are all human beings. Why can't I do it when others can do it? I tried my best to catch up, but I just couldn't catch up. I felt useless, but later I understood... There are some things I’m destined to not be able to do.”

"I can't live that kind of life. I've been climbing all my life, but I haven't been able to climb to the top. But I haven't accomplished anything in my life..."

While talking, Zhu Anxiao looked at Shu Ge:

"People have many ways to live. Just remember that next time... don't hate yourself for not working hard. Live the life you want within your own ability..."

"Don't envy others... follow your own path!"

Shu Ge looked at Zhu An blankly, living the life he wanted?

Ren Jie and others are admired by thousands of people and shine brightly, but they also sacrifice their lives and face endless dangers, wandering between life and death all day long. Maybe I really can't make such a big determination, and that's not what I think. Want life.

But looking at Ren Jie and the others who were still standing on the field, Shu Ge's eyes were filled with tears, and he still cried loudly and responded loudly:

"I understand, Mr. Dean, I will work hard... ugh"

Zhu An smiled and touched Shu Ge's head. The kiwi fruit felt quite easy to touch.

As the dean, what you should do most is to point out the direction for the children, right?

Ren Jie and his gang are destined to reach the top and make waves in the center of the world. Everyone has great abilities...

But what about Shu Ge? She didn't. If she continued to follow, even if she tried her best, she would only fall further and further behind. Not everyone could keep up with Ren Jie's footsteps.

The desperate pursuit will only end up in a situation where even his back cannot be seen, and he may even be involved in a big crisis with no chance of saving his life. This may also be a kind of torture for Shu Ge himself...
