"That last one..."
"My mother said that when spring comes, many animals will..." Liu Yiqiang explained embarrassedly.
"..."
After a while——
Li Wei came out of the room, and there was no sound from inside.
Yang Qianqian's lips twitched slightly: "Where are they?"
"Oh, I've already transformed them into talents who can adapt to any position in society. Even if there's a problem in any food chain in nature, I can use them to fill the gap."
!! ?
"Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"N-forget it..." Yang Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. Her intuition told her that the scene inside might be a little beautiful.
"I got the answer," Li Wei said, a little disappointed that Yang Qianqian didn't seem inclined to go in, but still added, "They've already rebelled."
"Rebellion!?" Yang Qianqian exclaimed in shock, "Aren't they afraid of the punishment for failing the mission!?"
Shaking his head, Li Wei continued, "It seems their lineup has changed; they're on GHQ's side now."
"What!? The battle mode lets you change your team composition..."
As Yang Qianqian finished speaking, the three of them received a system notification.
"Ding! System has made a second correction; lineup has been changed."
"The funeral home's representatives are currently: Li Wei, Yang Qianqian, and Liu Yiqiang."
What?
What's going on? We're only just receiving this notification?
Am I not pretty enough, and the system is treating me differently?
Yang Qianqian was dumbfounded: "There are only three of us at the funeral home?!"
"Hmm? Is there a problem? Anyway, no matter how many people there are, they're just decorations." Li Wei said indifferently.
"..."
“But,” Yang Qianqian said urgently, “we had two students in the top ten and nearly a hundred other students on our side before!”
"If you include my GHQ, there are only three."
"talent?"
“Yes!” Li Wei exclaimed excitedly, “Isn’t that more interesting?”
"Only in this way, more and more," Li Wei said with a sudden fervor in his eyes, "more powerful!"
"Only then can I feel... death!"
Damn, this guy really is a madman!
What the hell is wrong with me to think that teaming up with him is safe and reliable?
“By the way, Qianqian, you seem to be in the top ten too,” Li Wei suddenly suggested, “Why don’t you go too?”
Yang Qianqian shivered under his gaze. "No! I absolutely refuse!"
With that scream, Yang Qianqian turned and ran.
Liu Yiqiang scratched his head in confusion, "Big brother, what's wrong with Sister Qianqian?"
"Her relatives must have come to visit her."
"Huh? She has relatives here too..."
After Liu Yiqiang left, Li Wei suddenly smiled.
"A group fight? Interesting."
"Those people seem to be surrounded by the same aura as those brats from back then."
The next moment, an internal notice was issued by the funeral home.
"Everyone gather!"
War is about to break out.
PS: Sister Nanxi: Are you releasing it this Friday or next Friday?
I thought about it and said, "Next Friday, then."
So... this lazy bum is about to be put on the hot plate!
Because it's going to be published, I've rushed back to daily updates...
Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Man with a Monster's Heart
"They seem to have failed."
Luo Guangtong walked to the side of Luo Batian.
Luo Batian nodded and said, "It's alright. It was just a test anyway. If it succeeds, great. If it fails... there's no loss. They're just two bottom-tier losers."
"Actually, don't you think this instance is... strange?"
Upon hearing Luo Guangtong mention this point, Luo Batian deeply agreed.
Yes, they didn't know how to describe this instance except that it was strange.
Just when they were fighting against the students from the original Funeral Parlor and were almost in despair, the system suddenly notified them that dozens more people had joined their ranks.
And what surprised them most was that the system gave them an extra reminder—
No announcement will be made regarding lineup changes before the enemy team becomes aware of them.
This clearly gave them a head start!
An early advantage is extremely valuable in all wars throughout history.
but--
This is the cycle space, governed by the rules set by the system.
Even if they gain an initial advantage... not everyone agrees to go all in.
They were courageous, but also cautious and vigilant.
This situation was unexpected for them.
Even their seniors hadn't mentioned it to them, so they had to be cautious.
Since they have such a significant advantage on the surface, there's no need for them to take risks; a steady and methodical approach is the best strategy.
This was the opinion of most people, including one of the top ten freshmen, which led to the failure of Luo Batian and Li Lide's all-out battle plan.
Instead, a trial was launched.
"What a pity," Luo Batian sighed, "If you don't even have the courage to bet everything, how can you achieve great things?"
“Otherwise, they wouldn’t be at the bottom of the class,” Luo Guangtong chuckled.
“I just don’t understand,” Luo Batian’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, “I don’t know what that Liu Kefan is thinking?”
“I don’t understand.” Luo Guangtong shook his head. “Logically speaking, the top ten this year… shouldn’t be such a timid person. Perhaps he’s right? Or perhaps…”
"What ulterior motive does he have?" Luo Batian laughed.
Luo Guangtong laughed along with him.
The top ten freshmen... which one of them is easy?
Funeral Home Headquarter——
Quartz looked at Yang Qianqian with a serious expression: "Are you telling the truth?"
Yang Qianqian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, they have become GHQ's people."
"Is the source of this information reliable?" Quartz asked.
"Quarternet, trust her."
"The edge?" Although Quarterblade was puzzled, he did not ask at this moment.
A wise strategist, or subordinate, would not contradict their leader at such a time.
Quarter, he knew that very well.
"Then let's revise the original plan by adjusting the troop allocation and postponing the operation date." Gai Tsutsugami waved his hand and said, "Reassemble in three days."
……
A certain room—
Quartz asked, "Ya, you saw the power of those people before, so why do you still insist on the original plan?"
"The chances of us failing are extremely high."
Gai Tsutsugami shook his head. "No, you're wrong."
"We will definitely succeed this time."
"Why?" Quarticet asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You should know that I can see the void in other people."
The quadrant nodded.
“I knew from the beginning that the previous group of people had a problem because most of them were under the age of seventeen.”
“However…” Gai Tsutsugami paused, “None of them possessed the Void.”
"Nevertheless, you believed them, and you were right."
Quarter said admiringly.
"And that man..."
You mean Li Wei?
With a solemn expression, Yang Shenya said, "Yes, Li Wei, judging from his relationship with Yang Qianqian and Liu Yiqiang, he should be from the same group of people. The common point of that group is that they do not have the Void."
"As long as they can be of help to us, I don't care about their background or who they are."
“But that man, he…” Gai Tsutsugami said, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
“You mean…” Quadrant exclaimed in surprise, “He possesses the void!?”
Gai Tsutsugami nodded. "Yes, and... I've never seen such... how should I put it, such a twisted and strange, no, I should say, such a terrifying void."
In Guilty Crown, the void depends on a person's mental state; that is, the void is a reflection of a person's inner self.
He had seen the emptiness in many people, with guns, scissors, swords, and shields, reflecting desires for destruction, self-preservation, and so on...
But Gai Tsutsugami has never seen anyone with such a heart, like a twisted line, or a swallowing black hole, or many other indescribable strangeness.
"……monster."
Yes, the first time he met Li Wei that day, at first glance, he realized that there was no other word to describe Li Wei except this one.
A man whose heart is a monster.
This is Gai Tsutsugami's assessment of Li Wei, the leader of the funeral home.
After a long silence—
Even so, you still accepted him as one of us.
Quarticet said, "Truly, you are worthy of being called Cliff."
Gai Tsutsugami gave a bitter smile to his heart. As the leader, he had to bear the greatest pressure. He could not be confused, he could not back down, and he could not doubt himself.
Since we were forced to make this decision, we must have the courage and perseverance to keep going.
In his heart, Gai Tsutsugami silently uttered this sentence.
Somewhere in the funeral home—
Li Wei sat down next to Liu Yiqiang, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong, Xiaoqiang? Are you nervous?"
