As soon as No. 42 finished speaking, No. 43 was immediately irritated. Unlike No. 47, whose expression was always indifferent, his temper was obviously very urgent. He shouted "bastard!" and he immediately rushed towards No. 42.
past.∑
But as soon as he rushed out, he was stopped by an arm.
No. 43 looked up and met Lin Sanjiu's amber pupils.
"You... don't worry yet." She sighed and her voice lowered: "Look."
"Yeah, don't be anxious." No. 42 chuckled, shaking the things he took out at some point in his hand - they made a clattering sound with the movement, and everyone saw clearly that it was a
Stack photos.
Apparently, he used a camera to record the distribution of water droplets in the second earth chamber.
"Forget it this time, next time someone acts rashly, I will tear up a photo." No. 42 smiled slightly: "Five versus three, although you have the advantage in numbers, when you come in front of me, the photo will be
It’s gone long ago.”
Almost at the same time, everyone realized this problem; No. 43 gritted his teeth and pulled off his turban, but in the end he did not move.
The various expressions of No. 42 were like a new mask; when he squinted his eyes and looked at the people present, every subtle change in his expression made his appearance completely different again and again - obviously his facial features had not changed,
But after Lin Sanjiu stared at him for a while, she couldn't even remember what he looked like.
"It's also time for you to do a simple arithmetic problem." No. 42 grinned, and the exposed blood-red gums added a bit of cruelty to him: "...Now there are less water drops in an earthen room. What's left is quite a lot.
It’s not enough to sprout all eight people. Here, we have to eliminate at least three people - so, which people must die?"
Everyone was stunned, and before they could recover, No. 42 continued: "...Oh, I am such a kind person, and anyone who wants me to give up would find it a bit unbearable. How about, any of you are willing to sacrifice yourself?
?”
The few remaining people were sullen and silent, looking at each other in disbelief. For a moment, no one spoke because they were afraid of others.
"If no one takes the initiative to sign up, then I will have to reluctantly take over this responsibility. How about this, anyone who does not obey my instructions will not be able to know the location of the pure water beads... How about it?"
Several people opened their mouths, with expressions of displeasure on their faces - but in the end, no one said anything.
No. 42 laughed with satisfaction. He slowly walked back to the water drop phalanx with No. 46 and No. 48. He turned around dramatically, clapped his hands, and smiled excitedly: "Ah, that's right! How about you guys?
Please test the poison for us first - the first person to absorb the water droplets, I guarantee that he will have a place to sprout!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sanjiu and another figure moved at the same time.
But her target was not the water drops on the ground - she rushed up quickly and grabbed No. 44 by the back of his neck. She shouted sternly: "Everyone, stop moving! He needs us to test the poison to find the pure water."
Pearl, as long as we don’t try, it won’t be able to sprout on its own!”
"What No. 49 said is true," No. 42 sat lazily on the ground, beating his legs like an old man. "But let me state one thing first, even if it means dying together, I will absolutely
I won’t give in. So everyone, do you want to cooperate with her and let us rot in the ground together? Or do you want to cooperate with me and win two germination quotas?"
Even if Lin Sanjiu still wanted to refute, it was too late now - the figure of No. 45 suddenly rushed out from the other side, and while No. 44 was struggling desperately, she shouted crisply: "I signed up to test the poison!"
"Great," No. 42 applauded in admiration, "No. 45, as long as you absorb the water drops, I guarantee that you will be able to germinate. Then there will be one more spot. It depends on which of the remaining four of you is the best.
Be obedient."
As he spoke, his eyes focused on Lin Sanjiu.
Pursing her lips tightly, Lin Sanjiu didn't say a word.
When things have developed to this point, according to Ji Shanqing's several expectations, it happened to be the worst outcome.
She let go of No. 44, who kept complaining, pushed him aside, and looked up at the other two.
The anger on No. 43's face has not disappeared, and the chin line stained by stubble is tense and tense. It is obvious that he cannot accept such a sudden change for a while; No. 47 still has an expressionless indifference.
His appearance made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"You can stay stunned for a while. After No. 45 has absorbed the water droplets, it will be your turn." No. 42 smiled and nodded towards the oval-faced girl. Seeing that she had indeed picked up a water droplet, No. 42 turned back.
Said: "...Remember, whoever is obedient will get the last spot."
Even though they knew that No. 42 was holding them back with carrots, everyone except Lin Sanjiu could not help but gradually change their expressions.
"Absorb!" No. 45 shouted at this time, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Sanjiu originally had the idea of "deceiving No. 42 by pretending to react." The next second after seeing No. 45's face, the idea disappeared - his body suddenly endured a month's worth of pills.
Mi Weijin's influence and reaction at that moment cannot be disguised or concealed.
The oval face that was round and round just now suddenly became sunken, and the rosy complexion disappeared from No. 45's face like an ebbing tide; instead, it was a greenish-yellow color, which came from her suddenly withered skin.
It came out.
With a heavy "Uh-huh" sound, No. 45 arched her body like a shrimp and gasped for air. After a while, she slowly straightened up, glanced at No. 42, and then again.
A drop of water began to hesitate.
"Go on," No. 42 encouraged her as if coaxing a child: "One to one, you won't always absorb contaminated water droplets."
Seeing No. 45's slightly trembling hand, he stretched out his hand again. Lin Sanjiu hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on her again.
It was just a poison test, and it was unlikely that No. 45 would die. Lin Sanjiu was not worried about her life and death. The reason why he called out to her was because he did not want No. 42 to succeed so easily.
If we don't do something, by the time everyone starts competing for the last spot, it will be too late!
It's just that it's too late and impossible to carry out [Conscious Mimicry] now; she frowned, and there was even a slight sweat on her forehead. For a while, she couldn't think of any way to reverse the situation - No. 42 saw this "
Ha" laughed: "What? Do you also want to sign up for a drug test?"
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt as if she had been electrocuted, and suddenly had an idea.
She didn't even look at No. 44, who was standing next to No. 42, waiting for the end. She just suddenly turned around and strode up to No. 43 and No. 47. She waved her arm and said, "Let me say this on behalf of the two of them.
No one wants your bullshit quota."
"Hey, how did you-"
No. 43's surprised voice had just sounded when Lin Sanjiu interrupted him. Without looking back, he explained: "Listen to me. From now on, the three of us will abstain!"
I don't know what came to mind. No. 42's face suddenly darkened.
"Don't you five want to sprout? Then go ahead and wish you good luck. But if you want to get us to test the poison for you, there's no way." Lin Sanjiu smiled fiercely. "...We are missing a few.
There are only two people, No. 44 and No. 45, testing the poison. I'm afraid it's not enough, right? What should we do? Oh, by the way - you three might as well absorb the water droplets, how about that?"
There was a gasp from someone behind her, and it seemed that she had finally thought of this.
With three enemies who are resentful of themselves watching, the three people on No. 45 will never take the initiative to absorb the water droplets - once they absorb the contaminated water source and their physical strength weakens, they will still become Ren Linsan.
Plasticine rolled into balls and flattened with wine? But if they are not willing to test the poison, then just relying on 44 and 45 will not be enough...
"But there are five of them." No. 47 frowned and whispered. "If something tough comes, our chances of winning are slim."
"No, it's not five versus three." Lin Sanjiu stared at No. 42 and smiled slightly, "...Now the three of us on this side are evenly matched with the three on the other side; they don't dare to do anything to us at all, because it's very difficult to do anything to us.
There may not be enough people to test the poison. As for No. 44 and No. 45, it should be said that they are waiting to see the situation."
Upon hearing this, No. 42 turned his head around.
No. 44, who was rubbing his hands with an eager look on his face just now, although his movements and expressions did not change, but at some point his body had quietly retreated for a long distance, and he saw that he was getting further and further away from No. 48;
When I turned around, I saw No. 45 also putting down the second water drop he picked up just now.
"If there's going to be a fight, I'd better save some energy to help you." No. 45 quickly explained with a forced smile.
The two people who quickly turned against each other as soon as something went wrong were definitely not partners who could fight together - even if No. 42 didn't realize this just now, I'm afraid it's very clear now.
The only thing to worry about is whether No. 43 and No. 47 can always stay on the same side as him.
However, Lin Sanjiu couldn't think of any reason for them to vote for No. 42 under such a situation - besides, the reason why she chose these two people was because they seemed to be still angry with No. 42.
"You disobeyed me, don't you want to sprout?" No. 42 roared angrily. It was obvious that Lin Sanjiu's attack had hit his weak point, and his face turned blood red: "You know, I am the only one
Only my hands have records! Without my records, even if you join forces, it will be useless!"
"So what?" Lin Sanjiu sneered, "You have to blame yourself. You made it clear early on that you would give up on three people. Now, let us see how you plan to find the pure water beads single-handedly.
?”
No. 42 was so angry that he was breathing heavily, and veins were jumping on his neck; but he stared at Lin Sanjiu for a long time, but never made a sound.
"What should we do now?" No. 46 took a step closer and asked softly.
"I don't-" No. 42 was about to lose his temper, but suddenly remembered something and abruptly changed the subject. His eyes slowly passed over everyone's body. He seemed to be trying hard.
Controlling his anger: "...There is no benefit to you doing this. If you obey me, it may still sprout; if you fight against me, it will be a dead end."
Seeing that there were finally cracks in No. 42's attitude, Lin Sanjiu felt more confident. She looked over his shoulder and smiled at No. 46 and 48: "... He is already a sinking ship.
.Why do you two have to stay on this boat? As long as you are willing to come here with the records, I guarantee that no one will bother you about the previous things. When the time comes, everyone will sprout together, wouldn't it be better than now?"
Although he knew that the stack of photos was in the hands of No. 42, Lin Sanjiu obviously did not give up on the two men who had been silently following No. 42. Especially No. 48, who did all the work of replacing the water beads.
Completed, he most likely also has a record——
Unexpectedly, No. 42 suddenly laughed twice, then raised his chin, and something inexplicable appeared in his expression: "... Just save it. The fact is, without the three of you,
We can still find ways to test the poison; but without my record, you have no chance of survival."
"The three of us are just sitting here. If you think about it, come and find me." No. 42 smiled sinisterly: "Maybe I will give the spot directly to the first person who comes to me."
After that, he took No. 46 and No. 48 and sat down leisurely.
Just when Lin Sanjiu was a little worried about whether others would be affected by these words, No. 47 approached and motioned for her and No. 43 to go to another corner of the hall.
"I can also see that he is just bluffing," Standing in a corner far away from the group of No. 42, No. 47 said with a calm expression: "...The situation has actually not changed at all. He cannot be in a situation where we stand by and watch.
We are absorbing water droplets, but currently we are at a stalemate and must resolve this situation within eight days."
Lin Sanjiu frowned and glanced in the distance, only to see No. 44 and No. 45 standing on the other side watching. The hall was now divided into three distinct groups of people. Listening to No. 43 and No. 47 beside him, they were whispering.
With the sound of discussion, she calmed down and concentrated on how to get the records——
It was precisely because she was so absorbed in thinking that she almost missed a sentence from No. 47. After suddenly realizing what the other party had just said, she immediately raised her head: "You... what you just said, can you repeat it again?"
Once?"
"I just said," No. 47 seemed slightly surprised: "Do you know who the 'Dean' is?" (To be continued.)
