He did not give Su Mu a chance to refute, but took advantage of this moment to continue.
"You can guarantee that you will not die, but can you guarantee that Wan'er, Zhang Wei, He Tian, and Ye Xiaoxiao will not die?"
"If you want to win the championship, you must let them take their own lives for your purpose?"
"This is your purpose, not theirs! Do you still need me to remind you of this?!"
"Bang!" Jiang Qi suddenly punched the table.
"I know that you performed very well at the Gate of Apocalypse. In other words, without you, it is very likely that no one would be able to get out."
"But will your teammates get in without you?"
"Nowadays, Apocalypse infiltration incidents are becoming more and more frequent. They are happening all over the world. Some small and backward countries are already on the verge of collapse and may be destroyed at any time due to Apocalypse's infiltration!"
"Moreover, don't think that only your server has infiltration weapons and players are killing players. Similar situations have occurred in other servers and other empires."
"In such an environment, how do you ensure that you will not encounter the threat of infiltration during the league? How do you ensure that your teammates can come back alive?"
"..." Jiang Qi's words left Su Mu speechless.
He is right, he has always wanted to win the championship, win the national championship, and get an invitation from Tianqi Company.
But, what about Wan'er and the others?...
If they die due to some accident in the league...
So what?
Su Mu was silent and did not answer.
However, Jiang Qi had no intention of letting Su Mu go just like this. He continued: "Now it is confirmed that Tianhui really exists, and their people have also released news that they will target you in the league."
"We don't know the strength and number of those people yet, but what if those people have infiltration weapons in their hands?"
"What if their goal is to take out your teammates first?"
"Can you stop it?"
Su Mu: "..."
These words and a series of questioning made Su Mu start to feel shaken.
If it were other people's life and death, Su Mu wouldn't take it so seriously, but Wan'er, Wei Wei, Lao He, Xiaoxiao...
If they died for their own purposes, Su Mu really didn't know how to face it.
If you can really do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, what's the difference between Jiang Zhiyu... and the Tianqing murderer?
But...if they don't participate, the system will decide that the entire team has given up the competition. Even if Su Mu is willing to enter alone, he will be turned away because he is not qualified.
The five of them are hot-blooded together, and they can do anything when their brains get hot.
But as an elder, Jiang Qi naturally has more things to think about.
Perhaps because of the heavy price paid by the Gate of Apocalypse, he has no choice but to resist this type of thing now.
Jiang Wan is his only daughter, and Su Mu is also very important to the empire. Publicly and privately, he will prevent Su Mu from participating in tomorrow's league.
…
Silence, silence, silence.
Still silent!
In the confrontation without dialogue, Su Mu finally couldn't help it and silently lit a cigarette for himself.
The shadow on the ground seemed to be laughing at itself.
Two extreme thoughts are fighting in my mind.
Give up and lose the opportunity to personally contact the Apocalypse.
If you don’t give up, Tianhui and some other unknown situations may cost Wan’er and the others their lives...
This decision is really difficult.
…
Time passed by minute by minute, and the clock on the wall made a ticking sound.
Before I knew it, it was 1 o'clock in the morning.
The two of them have been sitting in the office for nearly two hours.
At this moment, Su Mu took the initiative to break the silent atmosphere.
"uncle……"
"If I give up now, the game is over."
"You, my parents, and many other people, how could you not understand how dangerous your job is? You may not be able to come back at any time..."
"My parents and I haven't seen each other for several years. They were rarely seen when I was growing up."
"What are these for? Dedicated to the empire? Or for the progress of the world?"
"I don't know, and I don't make any comments."
"But... now I just want to unlock the secret of Apocalypse myself."
Jiang Qi sighed and said: "You are still young, you are all still young, the future..."
"no future!"
Su Mu interrupted Jiang Qi and became a little excited.
"Apocalypse is going to destroy our world, the future, and what future there is!"
"How long can we use the excuse of youth?!"
…
Jiang Qi did not refute Su Mu, but chose to listen to what Su Mu had been brewing for so long.
"In the face of pressure and risks, we always compete between sprinting and following, or even being submissive. But... those who only hide behind and wave the flag are destined to have no followers."
"Maybe you think I'm selfish and arrogant..."
"But I don't mind."
"I don't care what I will be like in ten years, I only care about what I will think of myself in ten years!"
"It's better to burn everything than to stay the same!"
"If their lives are really in danger, I will kill them first with a non-penetrating attack before others kill them!"
Su Mu raised his head and looked at Jiang Qi.
"If they are not strong enough, I will make them stronger as well. I will be so strong that my name resounds throughout the sky! I will lead them to the highest peak in the world!"
Jiang Qi's face was moved, and Su Mu also let out a long breath as if he had let out his inner roar.
After a while, Jiang Qi took out an envelope and placed it on the table.
There was some helplessness on his face, but also some appreciation and relief.
Finally, he smiled and said, "Very good. Although selfish, he still has some backbone."
"But you have to remember that if they are in danger, you must personally send them out."
Su Mu nodded and looked at the envelope.
"There are thirty game IDs and corresponding names here. They are people who will be in the same arena as you tomorrow. They will provide you with help." Jiang Qi said.
"Thirty people?" Su Mu was surprised.
There are at least 500 people participating in the competition in a region, and the number of those who are under the Taichu forces is usually at least over a hundred...
Could it be...Su Mu's pupils contracted.
Jiang Qi: "The situation in Tianhui has not yet been investigated clearly. These thirty people are my dead men. You can absolutely trust them."
Having said this, Su Mu doesn’t ask any more questions.
It's not that other people are untrustworthy, but that they have to be cautious under the threat of Tianhui.
Su Mu collected all the envelopes and took Wan'er to his home in front of Jiang Qi...
Jiang Qi didn't stop him either.
On the way back, after talking to Jiang Wan about the process, it was already 2 a.m. when I finished washing up at home.
The two of them went back to their rooms to sleep.
…
As time passes, the sun and the moon alternate.
On this day, it seems that the whole world has entered a tense atmosphere.
Because the third round of the league will officially start in half an hour!
