While the two of them were talking, the others were not idle. They had vaguely seen through the Smoking Man’s intentions. One by one, they searched around, trying to find some clues.
However, other than being told not to leave the yard, they did not receive any other response. They could only stay in groups of three to five.
Just as everyone was at their wits ‘end, the group of heaven crushing consummate level guards who had just left suddenly descended from the sky, each of them filled with a biting cold killing intent, almost at the same time looking for everyone!
Caught off guard, many people simply couldn’t react in time. They couldn’t even make any dodging movements and were directly knocked out on the spot.
Then, he was thrown out of the door like a dead dog and eliminated.
Of course, those who were able to enter this place were not all mediocre. There were still some people who had withstood this wave of surprise attacks and calmly forced back the experts who had attacked. They could be considered to have passed the second test.
As for Lin Yi, he was even more so.
Long before this group of guards made their move, he had already been aware of their movements. In fact, even if he was completely unaware, with his strength, dealing with them was a piece of cake.
In return, he even helped Tao Baibai out.
Otherwise, Tao Baibai would not have been able to stay if he had only relied on his own strength. After all, there was a huge flaw in his raw strength.
Only now did the Smoking Man appear in front of the crowd lazily. Including Lin Yi and Lin Yi, there were only seven people left in the room.
“Why did you leave so many behind? I only have one nominee in my hands. Why don’t you guys fight again? I’ll pick whoever wins. How about that?”
The Smoking Man suggested.
Lin Yi didn’t mind, but the others weren’t happy about it. “It’s true that strength is very important to be a bodyguard, but it’s not just about strength, right? Being strong doesn’t mean you can be a good bodyguard. Commander Yan, you’re an expert, so you should understand this, right?”
What a joke, if it was purely based on individual strength, they wouldn’t even need to waste their energy-they’d just give it to Lin Yi.
“Alright then, I’ll be the young lady for once, and all of you will protect me. Whoever discovers the danger first will win. That should be fine, right?”
The Smoking Man was particularly receptive.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Although the rules still sounded a bit rough, it was much more reliable than asking them to kill each other. Moreover, this form of actual combat simulation was very convincing in itself, so they didn’t know how to refute it.
This time, it was no longer a competition of individual strength, but of insight.
In theory, they were on the same starting line as Lin Yi, and both of them had a chance of winning.
The Smoking Man found a random corner to sit down and comfortably smoked the secular world cigarettes produced in the center. The rest of the people were on guard around him, afraid that they would be taken advantage of if they were slow to react.
The most likely threat was undoubtedly those guards at the great circle of heaven breaking realm who had just retreated. Only they could bear the responsibility of this test’s imaginary enemies.
However, after an entire afternoon, this group of people still did not appear.
“It’s obvious that they’re going to exhaust us in a prolonged battle. It’s really killing us. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in this muddy water.”
Tao Baibai smiled bitterly as she got up to pour a glass of water.
The others felt the same way. Although as heaven breaking experts, not sleeping for a few days and nights was nothing, but to be on high alert at all times like now, coupled with the constant scheming between each other, the consumption of primordial spirit was really not little.
If they stayed until the middle of the night, even if their will was strong, they would still relax a little. This was an unavoidable biological instinct.
It was obvious that the group of imaginary enemies had this idea.
The key point was that even if they could guess such an open plot, there was no way to crack it. What if the other party did the opposite? Who could guess?
Tao Baibai came back with a glass of water and was about to sit down and take a break when the Smoking Man suddenly said,””Go get me a cup too. Damn, this cigarette is of such poor quality that my throat is uncomfortable. Did you buy fake cigarettes?”
Everyone was speechless.
You know it’s a fake cigarette, but you still smoke it so vigorously? He had already bought five packets of lung cancer pills this afternoon.
Tao Baibai was an honest man. Since the other party had spoken, he could only do as he was told.
And this guy was quite good at dealing with things. Not only did he pour a cup for the Smoking Man, but he also poured a cup for the rest of the people and personally handed it to everyone.
At this moment, a young master from a wealthy family stood up abruptly.””Hold on!”
Everyone was stunned.
Then, he quickly walked to the Smoking Man’s side and looked at the glass of water in the Smoking man’s hand. He couldn’t help but reveal a triumphant smile.””There’s something wrong with this cup of water!”
The Smoking Man raised his eyebrows with a faint smile. “What’s the problem?”
Instead of answering, the young master laughed. He pointed at Tao Baibai and said,””Great commander Yan, if I’m not wrong, this guy should be a spy you’ve deliberately arranged, right?”
“Oh? There’s such a thing?”
The Smoking Man looked at Tao Baibai in surprise. It was impossible to tell if he was telling the truth from Tao Baibai’s expression. On the other hand, Tao Baibai was also in shock.
“It’s boring to play dumb at this time, right?”
The young master said confidently,”I noticed that something was wrong from the beginning. If we were to use a group fight as a standard, this guy didn’t participate at all from the beginning to the end. At most, he just stood a little closer to us. If you captured us just to punish us, it would still make sense. But now, since it’s the preliminary selection, it’s obvious that something is wrong.”
In other words, it was normal for a guy like Tao Baibai to have a pot fall from the sky and hit him in the face. However, it was not normal for the heavens to suddenly give him a pie in the sky.
Everyone nodded. It had to be said that although the logic of the other party’s judgment was a little strange, it was indeed somewhat convincing.
After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Everyone knew this since they were young.
“Just this?” the Smoking Man raised his eyebrows.
“Of course, my judgment is not based on this. This is at best just evidence.”
The young master from the rich family said with a face full of arrogance,””Commander Yan, you seem to be acting casually, but each and every one of your actions has a deeper meaning. In the third round of the test, the imaginary enemies are the guards, and the battle of attrition they chose seems to be a test of our willpower. However, there is still a huge flaw.”
“What loophole?”
“Whoever discovers the danger first wins. This is what you said just now, commander Yan. If the real danger really comes from those guards, how can we judge who discovers the danger first when they attack together? No matter how I think about it, it’s hard to come to a convincing conclusion, right?”
