The Fallen Merman - Chap 234
Bai Chunian was shocked, the severed hand on his shoulder slid to the ground, blood splashed on the ground, but the blood volume was not large and the color was dark. It can be seen that the severed hand was not cut off just a few seconds ago. .
There is a ring mark on the ring finger of the severed hand, except for the oxidation of blue and black, the skin color matches that of Bai Chunian, the fingertips are black, the burn marks are faintly visible, and the smell is slightly burnt.
“This is my hand. I threw it in the trash can on the first floor. Who brought it here?” Bai Chunian immediately glanced around and checked the corners of the entire testing room, but found nothing. .
He looked up at the ceiling and still found no suspicious creatures, but he still concluded: “Something is following us.”
The test room does not have any gaps that allow creatures to shuttle, and the only open road is the corridor leading to the incinerator.
The puppet master frowned, and glanced at the end of the corridor when they came. The color of the sporadic flames rose, and the incinerator was moving towards their location.
“Time is running out.”
“Tsk.” Bai Chunian also knew that the time was short and he didn’t have time to think about it, so he kicked the severed hand on the ground to the base of the wall, so as not to get in the way, and the severed hand smeared a smear of blood on the ground.
Looking at the current room again, there are a total of 100 cubes of different materials placed in it to test the crushing force, which means that they must be crushed one by one. The block takes three seconds, and it takes four seconds between charging the two blocks, and it takes at least ten minutes to break all the blocks. In terms of time, the incinerator will crush and burn them in no more than five minutes.
Bai Chunian first pushed these blocks in a row forward as much as possible to buy himself some time, but found that each block was nailed to the ground and could not be pushed. If you use dead sea core rock to make a hammer and smash the blocks one by one, then there should be enough time.
He rubbed the surface of the granite block while thinking, and the puppeteer leaned over and asked, “Destroying? Does it recognize its name as granite?”
“I’ll do it.” The puppeteer was relatively calm, and took out a silver square key from the leather apron pocket. The sacred clockwork was mechanically stretched and deformed in his palm, the head flattened, and the tail sharpened, forming a mechanical spike.
He leaned over and pressed the spikes against the cube block. There were micro-machines in the silver mechanical nails moving up and down centrifugally. The speed became faster and faster. The humming of the vibration was assimilated to the granite, causing the cube block to vibrate with it, and suddenly cracked. Climbing all over the rocks, with a cracking sound, the granite shattered into several pieces of slag.
“Niu Niu Niu can become a heart nail, you can do this.” Bai Chunnian sincerely praised the collar of the neck to the hand, causing a long handle hammer, and smashing different blocks from the doll master.
The two of them buried their heads in their work, and began to slander each other secretly. Being randomly assigned to a group is terrible. Many abilities that you don’t want to expose to each other are forced to be publicly revealed. In the future, it will be even more difficult to win when you meet each other in a deadly way.
This doesn’t work. Bai Chunian thought.
It’s better to deal with the puppet master while Eris is away. Since it is a human, as long as it is touched by the Dead Sea Heart Rock, it must be severely injured.
The two smashed the blocks together, and the progress was much faster. It took less than two minutes to clear more than half of the cubes.
Bai Chunian counted the time and the number of remaining cubes until there were not many left, and when he was enough to pass the test, he secretly manipulated Dead Sea Heart Rock to cast a blade and hid it in the palm of his hand. After the puppet master is dealt with, deal with Eris together with Rimbaud. Anyway, the Holy Clockwork is not on Eris, and killing Eris is as easy as the palm of your hand.
He glanced at the puppet master slightly, calculated the angle of his hand in his mind, but raised his head inadvertently, and suddenly froze:
“I…fuck.”
The tip of the sacred clockwork originally held by the puppet master had already tilted in the direction of Bai Chunian, but it was interrupted by his exclamation. Look in the direction you are looking at.
The severed hand that was kicked to the wall just now disappeared.
“Hey me, it’s true or false.” Bai Chunian quickly ran a few steps to check. Not only did the broken hand disappear, but also the blood on the ground disappeared, as if it had evaporated for no reason.
He rubbed the ground with his fingertips, no matter who had come, no trace was left.
“It’s gone, I didn’t hear a sound.”
“Leave it alone.”
Time did not wait for anyone, the incinerator was getting closer and closer, Bai Chunian ran back and continued to smash squares, wiping the sweat that was seeping from his forehead.
All the cubes were smashed, and the tightly-sealed wall at the end of the room slowly rose, and a transcript floated out.
“Score: 91, Evaluation: S, this test is qualified.”
Bai Chunian stepped on the report card and walked directly along the corridor to the deeper room: “Silent, does it count the grades according to the passing time? The two of them only got 91 points together, how much is the 100th percentile? sky.”
The puppeteer put the sacred clockwork back in his pocket, walked behind him, and whispered into the communicator, “Read the question.”
Eris read it.
He reads English, and the title should have translations in different languages. Fortunately, he can read. He was pronounced British, with a distinct Glasgow accent.
“Please briefly describe the calculation method of the consideration for the share reform and the warrant price. Please briefly describe the method of financial leasing of medical equipment.”
“Help.” Bai Chunian rubbed his face, “It wouldn’t be asking for a handwritten answer.”
Rimbaud: “There is speech recognition.”
“Great.”
Fortunately, I learned a lot from Uncle Jin in the company. Bai Chunian tried hard to recall the contents of the book: “I say one sentence and you follow it. The theoretical value of each warrant is calculated by the B-S formula…”
Rimbaud: “Each serving of human bones is steamed, and the value is calculated by the formula of mortal death.”
Bai Chunian: “Treasure, stick the microphone of the communicator on the voice recognition port, it should recognize it more accurately than you.”
The puppet master answered the second question lightly.
The intelligence test was much faster than the force test. Bai Chunian took the time to help them pass a few more tests.
Eris read the question of the third test.
“Expand the function f(x) = e^x into a power series of x. Expand f(x) = sinx into a power series of x.”
“Wait, let’s think about it.” Bai Chunian rolled up his sleeves and traced the calculation process with his fingers in the air. The question is not difficult, but even if the answer is laid out on the ground and they both copy it, it will be difficult. Oral is even more difficult.
The puppeteer has already started to read and solve the problem for Eris. Eris couldn’t understand many terms, and the puppet master was neither impatient nor impatient, and his gentle voice took the trouble to tell him. This reminded him of his college career. At the end of each term, he always answered the questions and handed in the papers first, and then read the answers to the roommates in the same dormitory through headphones. The roommates who were usually ignorant even listened to the answers he read. I don’t understand, he can only repeat it over and over again.
After teaching Rimbaud stumblingly to finish the writing process, Bai Chunian began to explore his own topic and chatted with the puppet master by the way.
The puppeteer admitted that he liked cheating when he was young, especially watching the expressions of gratitude from his roommates after the exam, which was his greatest joy.
“Oh, I like to be thanked.” Bai Chunian briefly summarized.
The puppet master wanted to refute, but felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
“Why do you want to kill people everywhere? You have so many experimental subjects, so it’s not good to do something.” Bai Chunian asked.
The puppet master Youyou replied: “Humans have been standing at the top of the food chain for a long time, and they have forgotten that there is such a set of rules in nature. I just help them to think about it again, so as not to get carried away. If you think this is wrong, I will not Will try to convince you. Life and death are but two states of life, and my only sin is to make them terrified before they die, but other than that, I’m a good man.”
“Okay…” Bai Chunian knew that he couldn’t convince him, so he didn’t bother to talk nonsense.
The third force test they faced was the penetration test. The room in front of them was sealed with several layers of translucent bulletproof glass steel plates. The material was as strong as the shell of the Tiger tank. It seems that they want to use their bodies to smash through layers of reinforced glass steel plates.
Bai Chunian tried to smash a glass steel plate with a sledgehammer made of dead sea heart rock, but the digital display showed a red light, and it was not allowed to use sharp or blunt weapons to assist in breaking the wall.
“This forced exam can exhaust people to death.” Bai Chunian took a deep breath, added a run-up, and slammed into the surface of the glass steel plate with force.
With a bang, the room trembled along with it, and Bai Chunian’s body was numb, but the glass steel plate was only cracked with a few spiderweb patterns, but he could only bite the bullet and rely on the steel to collide.
After smashing four glass steel plates by inertia, the fifth glass steel plate failed to be broken, only some small cracks appeared, and some blood was stained on the glass plane, and Bai Chunian’s left half of his body was bleeding. The shards of glass that had been blown open on the cheeks burst open with a wound.
He could only stop and rest, allowing time to repair the smashed flesh and damaged bones.
The puppeteer is asking Rimbaud and Eris a question.
Later, Bai Chunian also heard Eris’ snoring in the communicator: “After we walked in, the floor was opened, and two Rubik’s Cubes popped out. , only gave me six points!”
Rimbaud’s voice sounded to have suppressed his anger to the greatest extent, and his teeth rubbed together: “I bit it apart, put it back together by color, the report card gave me five points, saying I failed, and a new one popped up. Why, one point lower than him, wei?”
“It’s awesome, it’s amazing.” Bai Chunian praised sincerely, “Really, I can’t even imagine that you can fight back. The system must be malfunctioning. You should have a higher score than Eris.”
Lan Bo listened to the gradually heavy breathing here, suddenly put away his anger, and asked warmly, “randi, are you tired?”
“It’s okay, wife, put the Rubik’s cube in your hand on the ground, read the colors to me in order, and I’ll tell you how to turn it.” Bai Chunian sat down, watching the flames spread again at the end of the corridor, counting the time in his heart.
Lan Bo obediently put the Rubik’s cube in front of him, and read Bai Chunian the color of each face in order.
It was not until he read the first line that Bai Chunian knew that this was a seventh-order Rubik’s Cube, which was much more difficult than a third-order Rubik’s Cube, and he had no real objects in his hands, so he had to rely on imagination and dictation. In the case of **** in the order he said.
“Wife, hold up the Rubik’s cube, don’t move the direction, twist it as I said. Don’t mess up the direction.”
Rimbaud sat on the ground with his fish tail folded, carefully twisting the Rubik’s cube, listening to the tired voice in the communicator, which made him a little anxious.
He lost his mind a little, and the Rubik’s Cube in his hand moved.
“It’s alright.” Bai Chunian paused, smiled helplessly, and said patiently, “Don’t worry, put it on the ground and read the color to me again.”
“It’s too time-consuming.” Rimbaud interrupted him, “Have you come out, how far is the fire from you? Is it about to burn you?”
“Don’t worry, I have the numbers.”
Eris heard the sound of flapping the hem of the clothes from the puppet master.
“Knicks?”
The puppet master replied: “Wait first, the fire is coming, you put the Rubik’s cube on the ground first, don’t touch it.”
Eris put down the Rubik’s Cube irritably, stood up and paced back and forth: “I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough, the endless questions, I can’t understand it, I have to teach me every one, I hate it the most .”
Rimbaud also put down the Rubik’s Cube, looked around, and noticed where the Rubik’s Cube popped up—
There is a square gap on the ground from which the Rubik’s Cube was ejected just now. Five meters across from them are two Rubik’s Cube display stands. After they put the last Rubik’s Cube on the display stand, they were issued a failed report card.
Rimbaud closed the gap with his long fingertips, but it was as hard as the material of the ground and didn’t move at all.
“Unfortunate.” Rimbaud raised his chin towards Eris, “Come here.”
Rimbaud stretched out the tip of his tail, rolled up the Rubik’s Cube on the ground, threw it to Eris, and ordered, “Put it up.” He pointed the tip of his tail to the display stand opposite.
“Pay after half the fight?” Eris didn’t care about this, he walked over and photographed the Rubik’s Cube on the display stand.
The red light on the display stand is expected to spit out another failed report card.
As usual, when the display failed, the system automatically popped up a new Rubik’s Cube.
Rimbaud lay all over the ground, staring at the small square gap, the moment the Rubik’s cube popped out of the small opening, Rimbaud grabbed the small square cover lifted from the ground.
The two webbed hands quickly scaled, turning into powerful sharp blades covered with scales like dragon claws. Rimbaud clasped the small mouth with both hands, his dorsal fins erected spikes, and the fish tail instantly turned fierce red.
With a loud noise, Rimbaud tore a crack open in the thick heavy metal used for laying the floor, revealing the ejection mechanism and the dense cables inside.
Rimbaud crawled in like a gecko from the torn steel floor gap.
“Okay, this is what I like.” Eris jumped in when he saw this.
—
Bai Chunian and the puppet master were still trying to destroy the glass steel plate, only to hear Lanbo’s low voice in the communicator: “You guys stand aside.”
Then there was only the noisy cracking of glass and the sound of Rimbaud’s calm breathing.
From the end, the glass steel plate was pierced one by one like thin paper. Across several translucent glass steel plates, Bai Chunian vaguely saw a shadow appearing at the end. The shadow was rapidly breaking through the glass steel plate. Suddenly, in front of him, The whole piece of glass shattered, and the splashed glass fragments were like splashing waves, surrounded by the blue mermaid leaping out of the middle.
The digital display score on the wall began to soar upward, and the penetration test score sheet fell out: “Score: 100, evaluate SSS, this test result is qualified.”
The flames behind him were about to lick up Bai Chunian’s back. Rian Bo grabbed Bai Chunian’s collar and dragged him out of the fire like a kitten, turning into a blue lightning bolt and meandering towards the end of the corridor. rush over.
“Rimbo! The hollow floor in front has collapsed and there are ditches!”
A dark fault appeared at the end of the corridor, Lan Bo temporarily let go, Bai Chunian rolled over to the ground and jumped, with his hands hanging on the raised edge of the opposite side, his arms tensed up, and flexibly climbed to the opposite platform, Lan Bo also jumped over, drawing a blue arc in the dark air, hanging his hands on Bai Chunian’s protruding hands, and was dragged up.
Eris followed closely. He grabbed the puppet master and ran forward. When he reached the fault, he jumped up hard. When he started to fall, the puppet master raised his hand and activated the J1 ability chess piece to replace Eris. Falling on the opposite side of the platform, Eris jumped again, and the puppet master released a spider silk puppet to pull Eris over.
When Lanbo fell to the ground, he threw Bai Chunian and rolled on the ground together for a few laps before stopping.
The surroundings lost the lighting again, and it became dark. Bai Chunian was lying on the ground panting. When he opened his eyes, something vaguely passed by his cheek, and that slightly hot, soft fur, and dirty touch rubbed against his cheek. In the past, it suddenly reminded him of his childhood experiences.
mouse.
He widened his eyes, his mind went blank at that moment, only the hair on his back exploded and his scalp tingled.
The body was hugged at the next moment, Rimbaud wrapped around him, asked him to bury his face in his neck, released a faint soothing pheromone, lowered his voice with a volume that only two people could hear in his ears. He said, “Don’t be afraid.”
Then he touched the white lion’s ear that he didn’t know when, and the airplane ear was pressed down and pressed against his head, looking very nervous.
