mysterious forerunner

Chapter 371 Actively Delivering Messages

The bloody head flew high into the sky, and the flow of time was slowed down to an extreme.

When the human head football grinned, the entire "football field" suddenly turned into a huge "pool table".

A white cue ball appeared and hit the head of the front player at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone present has a billiard ball in their head.

The cue ball has no other ability except speed.

If nothing goes wrong, the cue ball will quickly smash everyone's heads.

When the human head football reaches the highest point, its speed becomes the slowest. But then it falls faster and faster.

And this strange disturbance of the flow of time follows the same law.

At this time, the victim trapped in its range will move the slowest. Then it will slowly speed up and return to normal the moment the football hits the ground.

Then start the next cycle.

Ordinary professionals who enter this mysterious scene and want to crack the code to survive have to seize the only chance within this rule, the moment the football hits the ground.

But before that, you have to rely on a secret object with absolute defensive capabilities to get through.

But He Xu is not an ordinary professional.

The “mother ball” was an albino-looking human head. As soon as it appeared, it made a sharp sound of breaking wind and attacked at an alarming speed. The faces of professionals from various countries slowly showed expressions of extreme horror.

It was only halfway bloomed when He Xu had already taken a step forward. Everyone seemed to hear a "crack" sound, as if something like an eggshell was broken.

The power that restrained them suddenly disappeared.

As everyone becomes more comfortable with their movements, the speed of the cue ball no longer seems so alarming to them.

There was a professional from Paris who was so eager to perform that he let out a strange cry and hit a "hook kick" towards the flying cue ball.

boom--

The cue ball flew back at an even faster speed and disappeared into the darkness.

The human head football, because of some reason, lost its power and was instantly covered with cracks. It fell into darkness and was no longer able to move.

Zhang Qingxiang did not give any opinions during the whole process. He Xu was not incompetent, so Zhang Qingxiang only needed to give some guidance at the beginning and then watch He Xu perform.

In the subsequent process, He Xu focused on demonstrating his command ability.

The division of labor and on-the-spot command were all done in an orderly manner, and he tried his best to avoid having to take personal action to turn the tide.

But if he really encounters a powerful monster that his teammates cannot solve, he will take action without hesitation - which also reflects his decisiveness as a leader.

Zhang Qingxiang nodded secretly. If He Xu grew up a little more, he could really hand over the position of principal to him, and there would be no need for him to keep an eye on him secretly.

In terms of qualifications, Guan Xuanbai and He Xu are far superior to himself.

What I have more than them is decades of mystical experience.

……

In another large mysterious scene that was unfolding at the same time, the "military advisor" arranged by Riddick Bowe was filled with exhaustion.

What Ms. Benita predicted actually happened.

Joruus had no idea when to use the war AI, and this thing was indeed not very useful when facing mystery.

The military advisor and Joruus communicated with each other using headsets.

The military advisor didn't dare to do it too obviously, after all, everyone had a recorder on their chest. If Joruus held down the headset and listened for a long time before making a decision, it would be too obvious.

But if the military advisor was a little slower, or spoke a little more, it would be too late when faced with the mystery.

The two times that Zhang Qingxiang gave He Xu some ideas, neither of them was about directly facing the mysterious moment.

At that time, how could one have enough ability to make a decision on his own in the shortest time possible?

It doesn’t matter even if they are wrong. Both He Xu and Zhang Qingxiang have the ability to cover it.

But Joruus and the military advisor don't have this ability...

As soon as they entered the mysterious scene, because the military advisor was a little slow in coming up with ideas, the team was in chaos and four of them were mysteriously killed!
Joruus blamed the military advisor and glared at him.

Next, they went deeper into the large mysterious scene, where casualties continued to occur in the chaos.

After encountering three waves of monsters, more than half of the team has been killed!
Joruus roared and completely lost his mind, crushing the headset with one hand: F**K your leadership ability, I want to do it alone!
It cannot be said that Joruus’ choice was wrong, but at this point he should not hold out any hope. If he continues to mess around like this, it is hard to say whether he can walk out of this mysterious scene alive.

After Joruus took over, he relied entirely on his own strength and no longer placed hope on any "teammates", and the effect came immediately!

The remaining dozen or so professionals followed him all the way without any hindrance, and they complained in their hearts: If you have the strength, why don't you just take action directly... What's going on in front? So many people died.

Before dawn, both teams solved the mysterious scene and walked out.

Then we took a helicopter back and arrived at about the same time.

Riddick Bowe laughed: "Haha, both teams took the same amount of time."

Of course the allies would not say anything, even if they despised it in their hearts.

Your plane is fast, and the round trip - in fact, it takes you at least two hours longer than the Chinese!

But they didn't dare to say it, but He Jiliang said fearlessly: "I heard that in North America, those who are good at math are all Asians, and it seems to be true."

Riddick Bowe's face suddenly sank and he glared at He Jiliang fiercely.

No one knows that when he was in school, his math grades were really terrible...

However, he had a good family background and still applied to an Ivy League school.

He Jiliang looked at Riddick Bowe without fear and said, "Do you think I'm a coward like Da Ying?"

"Everyone's helicopter has records of when they arrived at the large mysterious scene and when they left the mysterious scene - you can take out your mobile phone, which has a calculator, and you can calculate it by adding and subtracting."

Then He Jiliang said something cruel: "Calculator, you should know how to use it, right?"

Riddick Bowe snorted angrily and turned away without arguing with the guy.

When the two teams came down, the expressions of the players were completely different.

The North American team was in a lifeless state, after all, a lot of people had died.

Moreover, the main credit for cracking the scene in the end went to Joruus, so as a reward for the final scene, the others only received the consolation of a second-level secret object.

Joruus got a seventh-level secret weapon!
Along the way, he grinned widely and played with his rewards in the helicopter cabin without any hesitation.

If someone looked at him with dissatisfaction, he would glare back fiercely: "What are you looking at? If you are of any use, you will also get a valuable reward!"

You can't beat him and can't afford to offend North America, so you can only hold your nose and bear it. The atmosphere in the team was very bad along the way.

The helicopter landed and the team members jumped out dejectedly, except for Joruus who looked triumphant.

The situation on the Chinese side is completely the opposite. There is one captain for every twenty players, and they are all neatly organized and no one is missing.

The atmosphere was harmonious among everyone. After getting off the helicopter, they fist-bumped each other and said goodbye to each other in the broken Chinese they had just learned: "See you next time!"

When they parted, He Xu gestured to everyone: "Contact us online, and we'll discuss how to deal with the reward."

Everyone raised their fists and cheered again.

He Xu's bottom line was a little higher, and he did not keep the promised seventh-level secret object.

The reason why this seventh-level item was finally taken out as agreed was because everyone cooperated very well in the later stage and faithfully carried out every order of He Xu.

Including those two guys in North America.

Moreover, in this large mysterious scene, the best reward is not this seventh-level item, but an eighth-level secret weapon!
He Xu felt no regret in giving away this seventh-level item.

Not to mention that this seventh-level item is of average effect to He Xu and cannot be considered a top-notch item. He already has many secret items that can replace it.

However, it was difficult to divide a seventh-level item among so many people, so He Xu created a group and everyone discussed it slowly.

In fact, on the way back, several small groups were already discussing raising funds to buy this seventh-level item, and then the small groups would share it.

The specific price needs to be discussed privately.

The two teams handed over the recorders on their bodies, and the members of the organizing committee watched them together and gave scores directly.

Similar to the rules for some Olympic events, the highest and lowest scores are removed, and the remaining scores are calculated as an average.

Among the scores of the previous groups, the highest was 8.55 points.

The full score is 10 points.

The first person to look was Joruus, and the committee members fell silent as they looked at him.

Later, Riddick Bowe knew that he had to say something, otherwise there would be no hope at all.

"Joruus did a great job! When the strength of his team members was too weak, he brought most of them out alive by his own efforts. This is also a manifestation of leadership ability."

It's so embarrassing, no one supports it.

Riddick Bowe looked at the committee members of Daying and Neon angrily.

The two of them had no choice but to say, "That's right."

"Is such that."

The Neon country's committee members were even more angry. The day before yesterday, our Neon candidate also brought everyone out on his own, and more people survived in our team. That's not what you said at the time!
Then we started to score and removed the highest score - as expected, it was Luo Yuanhui, who was given a full 10 points!
Luo Yuanhui is the North American commissioner, but after arriving in North Africa, many things are handled by Riddick Bowe and his presence is extremely low.

Luo Yuanhui's deterrence to his allies is far less than that of Riddick Bowe.

Even with all this, Joruus still managed to get 8.98 points in the end! This was higher than the current highest score, temporarily ranking first!

He Jiliang laughed, not trying to hide the sarcasm on his face.

Riddick Bowe pretended not to see it. Then he looked at the recorder of the He Xu team and saw that they were silent.

But unlike Joruus, there was nothing much to say this time.

Most of the committee members hold high positions, and each of them has outstanding leadership ability.

But if we ask ourselves honestly, we might not do any better than He Xu.

The scoring began, and the lowest score was removed - as expected, it was Luo Yuanhui again, who was given 0 points!
In the end, He Xu scored 9.54 points!
No matter how the North Americans jump up and down, Riddick Bowe secretly suppresses Da Ying and Neon, and they must be given low scores.

But He Xu's performance was too perfect, and I couldn't give him a score too low even if I had to go against my conscience.

Riddick Bowe walked away with a gloomy face.

He Xu's result is far ahead, but Joruus is now in second place, which is not an unacceptable result, at least it retains the hope of a last gamble.

On the way back, an extremely frustrated Riddick Bowe yelled at Luo Yuanhui: "You idiot, why did you give him a score of 0?
This score must be deducted, it is a useless score!
If you give him a score of 8 or so, it might even lower his average score!"

Luo Yuanhui uttered an "ah" as if he had just come to his senses, and quickly apologized: "I was inconsiderate..."

Luo Yuanhui did not make any excuses, but he knew he had to give the Chinese 0 points.

Only in this way can we draw a clear line between ourselves and them.

If he had given any other score, I'm afraid Riddick Bowe would not just curse at him, but would have planted seeds of doubt in his heart!

Riddick Bowe cursed but still didn't feel satisfied.

After returning to the base, he directly grabbed the two North American professionals from He Xu's team and said, "I asked you to disrupt He Xu's operation, what did you do?!"

The two looked aggrieved: "We really tried our best!"

The two took out the recorder and pointed at the first half of the video and said, "We have tried every way to embarrass him. The latter part is really his dominance. If we continue to interfere, he will definitely give up on us."

Riddick Bowe said sinisterly: "You should have the courage to sacrifice your life for your country!"

The two were speechless.

But in fact, when the two came out of the mysterious scene, they both received a reward of a fifth-level secret object!

Not only them, but all the team members of He Xu also received the lowest reward of level five.

The two men cursed Riddick Bowe in their hearts, "Shit bureaucrats! I have no problem sacrificing my life for my country, but don't even think about taking the blame for you!"

Benita knocked on the door gently, walked in and said, "You guys go out first, the director and I have something to discuss."

The two left in a hurry, feeling more grateful to Benita.

During this period, Benita took advantage of such small favors and won the hearts of a group of people in the mysterious bureau.

Riddick Bowe looked gloomy and very unhappy: "What's the matter?"

This time the plan did not go smoothly, and Riddick Bowe's mood became worse and worse.

"Joruus got a seventh-level secret weapon." Benita said meaningfully: "This is a secret item obtained during the Mystery Bureau mission. We have the right to study it and then register it."

Riddick Bowe's eyes moved, and he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I almost forgot about this matter. Fortunately, you are here to check for any omissions."

Riddick Bowe didn't trust Luo Yuanhui, didn't trust Hughes, and of course he couldn't really trust Joruus, who came from a gang.

Even the vast majority of professional agents in the entire mysterious bureau are just tools in his eyes.

If Joruus fails in his election for the principal this time, his importance will immediately decline and he will become just an expensive and useful tool.

When it comes to tools, Riddick Bowe’s philosophy has always been “keep them in your own hands.”

Therefore, powerful secret objects must be recorded.

Before filing, you should also do sufficient research to find out its weaknesses.

If the object suddenly betrays, the mysterious bureau can counterattack immediately.

Benita nodded and said, "Then I'll arrange it?"

"Okay." Riddick Bowe nodded, but stopped her and said, "This is a small matter. Please help me make an appointment with the members of the allies first."

Benita looked at him in confusion. Riddick Bowe sighed and said, "In two days at most, the second level of the assessment will be over. We must prepare early."

"You mean..."

"He Xu is about to win two first places in a row. The third test is our only chance. We cannot let He Xu win again no matter what!"

Benita: "But how can we win two out of three events..."

"This is the academy!" Riddick Bowe waved his hand vigorously: "What is the most important thing? The most important thing is of course teaching!"

"So it's okay that the third project accounts for the most, right?"

Benita: "You want to contact your allies to change the rules."

Riddick Bowe gritted his teeth and said, “Before in Albia, we were scattered all over the place and could only communicate through online conferences, which is why we were restricted by the Chinese and kept disconnecting!
Now that we all live together and hold meetings on site, what other means can the Chinese use?
Besides, we have good reasons for changing the rules this time. The Academy of Nations should focus on teaching, so the third item is of course the most important. "

Then he continued, "This time, we will discuss with our allies not only to modify the rules, but also to ensure that Joruus can defeat He Xu in the third item!"

Benita nodded: "I'll arrange it."

……

Zhang Qingxiang did not tell He Xu and He Jiliang in advance that the North Americans were losing and wanted to change the rules.

Zhang Qing kept Nie Luotong's existence top secret.

It's not that he doesn't believe anything, but because Zhang Qingxiang knows that sometimes secrets are leaked in such an inadvertent moment.

"These guys are still so shameless."

Zhang Qingxiang stroked his chin and pondered secretly how to stop the North Americans from cheating.

He Xu suddenly came in and closed the door: "Director Zhang, the North Americans are causing trouble again!"

Zhang Qingxiang was surprised: "Huh?"

He Xu said: "Two people in my team secretly sent me a message that Riddick Bowe had an appointment with the members of the allies to discuss voting to change the rules and increase the weight of the third assessment to 70%.

That means if Joruus wins, he can become the principal directly."

Zhang Qingxiang couldn't help but smile: "Your team members?"

He Xu also laughed.

That seventh-level item is worth the money!
He Xu himself didn't expect that more than one person had tipped him off!

Zhang Qingxiang asked, "What about you? Do you have the confidence to win this third level?"

He Xu said: "I came here to tell you, let them change, don't stop them this time."

"Oh?" Zhang Qingxiang was very interested: "Why?"

"My informant told me that they really spent a lot of money to ensure that Joruus could win the third level."

"Riddick Bowe spent a huge price to exchange for two precious [Source Objects] from Bavaria!"

Zhang Qingxiang: "Source?"

Director Zhang's information was slightly delayed, and he and Nie Luotong were not in real-time contact.

He Xu's informant got the specific information and immediately came to inform He Xu.

"Their plan is to select some ordinary people, let them fuse the source objects first, then train them, and finally let the trainees have a showdown."

"And regardless of the group results, whoever is ranked first will be the champion of the third level."

“North Americans feel they have a double insurance policy.”

"All of these students will eventually enter the Wan Guo Academy. After all, we can't give away so many [Source Materials] for nothing."

He Xu's eyes lit up: "These two students who have integrated precious source materials will be my students in the future!
So don’t stop them, let them change!”

Zhang Qingxiang was very interested: "Are you so confident?"

He Xu patted his chest and said, "Just wait and see."

"Okay." Zhang Qingxiang agreed, but he was also thinking about some follow-up plans. If He Xu couldn't do it, he would back him up.

Then Zhang Qingxiang was curious and asked, "What are the two [Source Objects] in Bavaria?"

"It's a pair of ancient silver mirrors. According to the Bavarians, their upper limit will be extremely high after fusion. They even think it can surpass your current level.

And the progress will be very rapid in the early stage, and it is estimated that it will be possible to break through to the second level within ten days."

Zhang Qingxiang recalled that he had some impression of these two things in his previous life!
In the early stage, Bavaria held an "audition" specifically for these two source objects, and finally a pair of twins won.

After they merged, they indeed made rapid progress and were the most famous "twin stars" of Bavaria in the early days!
However, after reaching the [Domination Realm], they began to run out of energy. In the end, the two brothers were unwilling to fall behind, so they ventured into a dangerous area in the [Secret Realm] to seek a breakthrough, but they never returned.

But Zhang Qingxiang vaguely remembered that this pair of [source objects] seemed not easy to merge.

It took the two brothers three months to fuse the [source material]!
In that era, there was no [Dream Creation Method], and everyone relied on luck to merge.

Zhang Qingxiang smiled and said, "Go and tell Uncle Wu that you can agree to the North American's plan, but there is one thing you should pay attention to: the third round of the competition will start from the moment each student gets the [Source Object] and prepares to fuse it."

"Okay." He Xu didn't think much about it.

……

That afternoon, Riddick Bowe called for a committee meeting and proposed a rule change.

To his surprise, the Chinese people’s opposition this time was not fierce, and the proposal was passed smoothly!
Riddick Bowe became uneasy: The Chinese must have a conspiracy! We must be careful.

No, I need an extra layer of insurance.
