On the Importance of Finishing Work

No matter how hard Pei Jinxie dawdled, he still had to meet the people who should be seen.

He led the way ahead, heading towards the center of the other courtyard.

When passing by the courtyard where everyone who came to participate in the trial, Shi Yue paused.

Although leading the way one step ahead, Pei Jinxie stopped immediately as if he had eyes behind his back.

Following Shi Yue's gaze forward, he saw the wooden man shuttling through it—the mask on his face was lifelike, and his body was also covered in silk and colorful clothes. If it weren't for the unchanging expression and rigid movements, he would look no different from a real person.

A lot of medicinal materials were destroyed by the unfinished version of this thing. Pei Jinxie got a headache when he saw this thing, and warned Lu Pai not to let this thing appear in his sight.

However, since the leader is interested...

"It was A Pai who researched it, and he was worried that there would be a riot, and those people would hurt people... He simply replaced it with mechanism puppets from the beginning."

Guo Jin looked at it and took a breath: the ancient version of the robot? !

With this technology, isn't it good to be an inventor?What kind of villain boss?

Shi Yue knew very early on that Lu Pai had extraordinary attainments in the field of mechanism, and he was not surprised by this at the moment.

He frowned and walked a few steps forward, standing where the doll dressed as a maid walked by just now, raised his foot and crushed it.

Lu Lingzhang also followed, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Shi Yue frowned and opened his mouth to explain, but the ground suddenly trembled violently.

"Earth...earthquake?!" Guo Jin cried out.

Several native martial arts practitioners immediately jumped up with their lightness kungfu, and Shi Yue also picked up Guo Jin who always forgot that he knew kung fu.

Just halfway up, he suddenly thought of something, and jumped back again.

Guo Jin was thrown onto a roof by Shi Yue, but the boy became anxious, and subconsciously followed Shi Yue closely, and jumped down after him.

——At this moment, I remembered my lightness kung fu.

In the violent shaking, mixed with the sound of the machine turning, the ground cracked from the place where everyone just jumped up.

If you look down from above, you can see a circular area, which is completely sunken.

It turns out that the residences of all the people who are being tested are all on top of a huge institution.

The mechanism was activated extremely fast, and when Lu Lingzhang found out that something was wrong and jumped down, a few door-like things on the top of the depression suddenly closed together, and the land became "flat" again.

The faces of the three people who were left outside were all very exciting——

Lu Lingzhang was the first to move. The long sword was unsheathed, turned in one direction deftly in his hand, was held downward by him, and thrust towards the "ground".

There was a muffled "rumbling" sound, with the sword as the center, a spider web-like crack was opened, but it did not break a passage as originally thought.

"Uncle Lu, don't!"

Worried about Lu Lingzhang's second strike, Pei Jinxie hastily raised his voice.

Lu Lingzhang did not move any more, he didn't even draw out his saber, but let go, looked up and looked around.

Under the darkness of night, a cold light shone on the high towers in all directions.

——It was an arrow made of refined iron.

If this land collapses, I'm afraid the next moment, it will be... ten thousand arrows will be fired.

Even Lu Lingzhang, in such a situation, can only barely protect himself.

Yi Zhou couldn't help muttering, "Mother..."

The master of the Lu family was ruthless enough, he didn't leave anyone a way to survive.

Pei Jinxie's face was extremely ugly.

"I'm going to find him!!!"

Leaving this sentence behind, he ignored other reactions, started his lightness kung fu, and disappeared within a few breaths.

And in the underground "cage".

The dome was closed, the faint moonlight was blocked, and the bottom suddenly fell into darkness.

And before this place fell, there was such a big battle that even the dead were woken up.

After a brief silence, the noise of cursing and shouting came from the center.In the darkness, lights came on one after another.

The darkness is always frightening. Although the lights in the distance are not very bright, Guo Jin can still see Shiyue's figure dimly, which makes Guo Jin heave a sigh of relief.

With his small body, if he fell into this alone, he would definitely not be able to survive...

——But sometimes when brother is around, it’s different.

With inexplicable trust, Guo Jin's panic dissipated all of a sudden, and he even managed to ask Shi Yue, "Brother Shi, did you bring a fire?" Just a lamp in one step, and threw my torch into the house."

After getting Shi Yue's negative answer, Guo Jin couldn't hide his disappointment and sighed, "I knew it a long time ago, and I should have listened to Aunt Mo... The little bag she asked to carry with her was a bit heavy, and the things inside were called A complete set... Survival in the wilderness is enough."

Guo Jin muttered with regret, but Shi Yue shook his head and explained: "At the moment, it's better not to light the lamp..."

Guo Jin "Huh?" was puzzled, and guessed, "Is it because they are afraid that they will find us along the lamp? ... It is impossible, so many people are holding lamps."

"The light is not bright, and the face is too dark to see clearly. It's not that bad luck. Someone is targeting the two of us..."

Shi Yue shook his head again, and briefly explained: "Oxygen."

Guo Jin understood it in seconds this time, and his mind was suddenly overwhelmed by "fuck".

——The one surnamed Lu is too ruthless, right? !Is this going to suffocate everyone alive underground?

He greeted Lu Pai thousands of times in his heart, but strangely, he didn't feel any more panic.

It seems that sometimes the more you are around, all the problems are trivial.

—— Even if the sky is falling, there will be times when Brother will hold on, right?

When he looked around, he seemed to have found the right direction, and then walked forward without hesitation, and Guo Jin quickly followed.

The two seemed to be getting more and more remote, and even the noisy voice was much weaker.

Not being able to see the way ahead made him uneasy after all. Guo Jin was not afraid, but he wanted to say something to break the silence.

Looking at the upright figure who was one step ahead of him, Yi Zhou's words rang in his mind again.

...a guess gradually took shape.

Guo Jin hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Shi, is this... your first time in this world?"

The footsteps of the person in front paused, but quickly returned to the previous marching frequency, and the answer was simple and direct——

"No."

Guo Jin:! ! !

Although I had guessed it a long time ago, it was still a little exciting to hear this answer all of a sudden.

No wonder Brother Shi seems to be very familiar with the Devil's Cult?And martial arts is too, much higher than him.

——So it’s not that he’s too good…

This idea was the first thing that popped up in my mind.

Guo Jin was inexplicably relieved, and at the same time another question appeared in his mind.

"Brother at that time, do you know...how to go back?"

Thinking of the rumors about the former leader of the Devil's Cult, Guo Jin paused for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Do you... want to... die, die once?"

When he said this, his tongue hit his teeth, almost biting himself.

After all, it is "death"...

Who knows whether to return to his own world or just die like that.

Even if there are successful precedents, he doesn't dare to try blindly.

——In case something unexpected happens...

"……Need not."

The tone of the voice coming from the front was helpless, and Guo Jin even heard a sigh of "thinking about something" from it.

Guo Jin stroked his hair embarrassingly, and heard Shi Yue say again: "When the time comes, I will go back..."

The son of destiny in this world is indeed Lu Lingzhang.But Guo Jin is indeed the "Son of Destiny"...but he doesn't belong to this world...

——He definitely wants to go back, but it's just a matter of time.

Shi Yue paused for a moment, and added, "Take it as...learning to communicate..."

Guo Jin: "..."

——"Learning" or "communication"?

This explanation...as expected of Brother Shi! !

After being speechless for a while, he actually felt that it made sense.

Others are going out of the province to go abroad for exchanges...he is going out of the world for exchanges.

——Thinking about it this way, it's pretty awesome?

It's a pity that you can't bring a penny on your resume.

……

Even so, Guo Jin's enthusiasm for studying was unprecedentedly high, and he quickly made a series of study plans for himself in his mind, including the time for eating and going to the bathroom.

—As for execution?

...that's a question for later.

He was too preoccupied with thinking about things, Guo Jin didn't look at the way ahead, a piece of hemp rope was hidden in the bushes, almost the next moment Shi Yue turned his head to remind him to "be careful", he stumbled on the hemp rope , the whole person pounced forward.

There was a sharp sound of breaking wind beside him, and the sharpened wooden thorns came straight towards his body.

Guo Jin:!

Matt, it's over! !

I just don't know if I can go back after dying like this.

The expected pain did not come for a long time——

Could it be that he was killed by one blow, so he didn't feel the wound in the back?

Thinking of this, Guo Jin carefully opened his eyes.

In front of me is not a scene of blood all over the place and the body being tied up like a hedgehog...

The wooden thorns that flew just now were gone, and beside them were powdery debris.

Guo Jin: Lying, lying... trough? !

What kind of martial arts masterpiece is this?

He turned his head to look at Shi Yue, stars almost appeared in his eyes.

——Could this be... Brother Shi felt that he didn't need to hide his identity, and finally showed his true strength?

Shi Yue: "..."

No, it's just that the quality of the wooden spikes is...too bad.

The two of them stared at each other silently for a long while, Shi Yue was so watched by Guo Jin that his whole body got goosebumps, and he was hesitating whether to give this kid a kick, but he heard a weak cry for help from nearby.

"Help... help... help me..."

Although it was a bit strange for someone to ask for help under such circumstances, the two of them reached an instant consensus and went to have a look.

Go to the place and have a look.

A person was hung upside down from a tree with his head down, and several wooden thorns were nailed to the trunk behind the person.

Looking at the location, it wasn't that the big brother dodged it, probably...in the middle of the forehead...

Guo Jin broke out in a cold sweat, the person who set up the organ is really too poisonous, almost on par with the master of the Lu family.

Thinking of what happened to him just now, Guo Jin immediately felt sympathy for the big brother whose one leg was tied to "swing".

"Brother, hold on, let you down immediately."

As Guo Jin said, he began to search for his belongings. Fortunately, he still had the throwing knife that Tang Yi provided with him.

He grabbed a handle and threw it up.

——The knife was really sharp, Guo Jin didn't use much force, and more than half of it sank into the tree trunk.

But this can't hide the fact that it's... pierced, crooked,...

Guo Jin: ...

Mistake, mistake...

Obviously, when brother Shi saved someone earlier, he just threw it away casually?

He still has an extra step to aim...

"Brother, don't worry."

Guo Jin comforted him and tossed another one.

……

…………

Still crooked.

- Isn't that right?

He no longer believed in this evil.

The legs were separated, the energy sank to the dantian, the internal force was circulated, and the third throw was thrown.

"Oh? Don't...don't shake..."

...the fourth handle.

"To the right... a little to the right... Well, it's just a little short of that..."

……

"Don't tremble! This rope keeps shaking...how can I aim?!"

……
