Become a god from scratch

Chapter 76 Lin Xuan's Reminder, Their Own Judgments

When Lin Xuan just obtained the [Evil Thoughts], it was actually not of much use.

After all, for him at that time, the biggest trouble he could encounter was the hostility from other children in the kindergarten.

It was not until a few unexpected events later that his [Evil Thoughts] finally came in handy. After joining the Spark Project, he naturally had more opportunities to use his abilities.

Because [Evil Thoughts] is not only useful against the Earth Origin Aliens, it is also useful against humanoid creatures like ogres.

However, even in the past six months which were full of various unexpected situations, the perception of [Evil Thoughts] rarely surprised Lin Xuan.

Because as long as they are in the Forgotten Wasteland, any creatures other than the Earth Origin Aliens they encounter will be hostile.

To these indigenous humanoid creatures who had forgotten the wasteland, the Earth Origin Aliens looked white and tender, and they were top-quality food in every way. This simple hunting intention did not require any reason.

Just do it when you meet.

However, Lin Xuan did not expect that when they arrived at the small stronghold established by Taixia in Baichuan Domain through the Nanmu Bridge, they would feel so many evil thoughts!
It was as if everyone in this town was staring at these outsiders with a covetous look.

Of course, Lin Xuan did not show anything unusual.

Although it is unclear what the current situation is, it is clear that there is a big problem in Nanmu Town. Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, it may not be a wise choice to rashly overturn the table.

No matter why these people in Nanmu Town became like this, the other party obviously knew they would come a long time ago, and also knew that Hu Shan would appear here.

Hu Shan’s strength is naturally beyond doubt.

To be more precise, none of the four mentors selected by all parties for the Spark Project is simple.

But since these people with ill intentions had planned it in advance, they most likely knew the identities of the four mentors in advance.

In this situation, they still have no intention of giving up, so it is obvious that they must have a solution.

Therefore, Hu Shan’s existence cannot make Lin Xuan feel at ease.

"No, we can't sit still and wait for death."

After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan decided to do something.

He didn't know whether Hu Shan had noticed anything unusual, but that didn't prevent him from making some preparations without alerting the people in the dark.

"Sister Xinxin, can you pass me one of the desserts over there? I can't take enough." Lin Xuan suddenly said to a young girl with a cute smile.

The girl's name is Lin Xinrui. She is twelve years old now and can be considered an older sister among the three groups.

However, she is introverted and never speaks much, unlike Chen Donghuang who wants to show off her abilities in everything.

But being introverted doesn't mean she is weak, and she has always been very caring towards her younger brothers and sisters in the group.

In the past six months, she has always been at the forefront when there is danger and never backs down.

So when Hu Shan asked if anyone wanted to withdraw from the practical class, she didn't even think about it.

As for Lin Xuan, as the youngest and most sympathetic little bird in the whole group and even among all the students, he is naturally deeply cared for by Lin Xinrui on weekdays.

Especially since both of them have the surname Lin and were from the same family five hundred years ago, Lin Xinrui feels an inexplicable sense of closeness to Lin Xuan.

When Lin Xuan asked her to help pass something, Lin Xinrui immediately stood up, picked up the dessert plate that was closer to her, and handed it to Lin Xuan, saying with a smile:
"Pick what you want to eat—"

"Thank you, Sister Xinxin!"

Lin Xuan smiled sweetly, then showed a distressed look, as if hesitating about which dessert to choose.

However, Lin Xinrui, who was holding the dessert plate, suddenly felt nervous because she noticed that Lin Xuan was rubbing his temple with one hand.

At this time, it was not only Lin Xinrui who noticed Lin Xuan's action, but also Xing Yan, Xie Yi and others who were most familiar with Lin Xuan, who noticed it.

To others, this action might be a subconscious move of a child in distress, but the three groups of members have fought side by side too many times in the past six months.

In order to deal with various unexpected situations that may arise, they have already developed some tacit actions that outsiders cannot understand.

For example, Lin Xuan's action of rubbing his temple at this time is one of them.

Especially since he took the initiative to call Lin Xinrui before doing this, this is definitely not a coincidence.

Because Lin Xinrui is the only psychic in the three groups, and her supernatural power is enough to establish a mental channel between the nine people.

Everyone had experienced the situation before where it was inconvenient to talk, so Lin Xinrui established a mental channel.

We had also specifically discussed at that time that in the future, when someone in the group needed to establish a mental channel with Lin Xinrui but it was inconvenient to talk, they would do this to her.

Now suddenly seeing Lin Xuan making this move, Lin Xinrui immediately realized something, but she didn't show it on her expression.

Soon, when Lin Xuan picked out the dessert he wanted and the two of them sat back in their original seats, Lin Xinrui had already established a separate mental channel.

Ruby Lin: What happened, Xiaoxuan?

Lin Xuan: Sister Xinxin, please pull a few more people in first. Remember to remind them not to behave strangely, especially Teacher Hu. He is talking to Mayor Duanmu. You'd better pull him in when the other party is not looking at him.

After explaining some precautions to Lin Xinrui in his mind, Lin Xuan mentioned several names, including the mentor Hu Shan.

After a while.

Lin Xinrui has successfully established a mental channel between nine people, of course, including herself and Lin Xuan.

The last person to be pulled in was naturally the mentor Hu Shan.

The others were fine, most of them were eating or chatting with each other, only Hu Shan was chatting with Mayor Duanmu Ci.

Lin Xinrui saw the opportunity when Mayor Duanmu Ci asked his men to add some dishes, so she pulled Hu Shan in as well, to prevent Hu Shan from showing any strangeness when talking to Mayor Duanmu Ci.

However, Lin Xuan and Lin Xinrui obviously still underestimated their mentor Hu Shan. How could a veteran who could become the captain of the special operations team of the Chiyan headquarters be so easily seen through by others?

When Lin Xinrui pulled Hu Shan into the spiritual channel, the old fox remained calm and collected throughout the whole process, and even added some wine to Mayor Duanmu Ci.

Hu Shan: What’s going on?
As soon as he entered the spiritual channel, Hu Shan asked straight to the point.

However, this did not affect his ability to multitask as he chatted and laughed with Mayor Duanmu Ci, and there was no sign that he was communicating on two fronts.

This also made the eight students who were in the spiritual channel deeply admire.

Lin Xinrui: It was Xiaoxuan who asked me to build a spiritual channel. There must be some unexpected situation.

Hu Shan: Hmm? Xiaoxuan, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush with Teacher Hu.
Lin Xuan: There is something wrong with this Duanmu Town Mayor! When Lin Xuan said this, the people who were pulled into the spiritual channel were shocked!
Fortunately, when Lin Xuan asked Lin Xinrui to establish a mental channel, he had told them not to behave strangely and to keep everything as normal as possible.

This is why there was no commotion.

Of course, the exception is still the mentor Hu Shan.

It is obvious that an old hand like him does not need anyone to remind him, nor will he do anything just because he is surprised.

However, after Lin Xuan said this, the spiritual channel was quiet for a while.

Even Hu Shan took a while to speak again, and it was not difficult to see that he was also a little surprised by this.

Hu Shan: Xiaoxuan, you have always been a sensible child. The teacher believes that you would not joke about such things, but this matter is very serious... Mayor Duanmu was an old man in the Public Security Bureau before he became the mayor of Nanmu Town. I have known him for many years. Are you sure there is something wrong with him?
Lin Xuan: Teacher, I'm not saying that he has a problem, I'm saying that everyone in this town has a problem.
After these words were spoken, even Hu Shan, who was drinking, paused slightly.

Only after he put down his wine glass did he continue speaking in his spiritual channel.

Hu Shan: What’s the reason?

Hu Shan didn't say any extra nonsense this time, because Lin Xuan's next words were so shocking that even he couldn't help but be moved.

In fact, he didn't quite believe Lin Xuan's accusation.

Just as he said, he had known Duanmu Ci for some years, and Duanmu Ci was also an old man in the Public Security Bureau.

It’s not that there are no bad people in the Public Security Bureau, but this was clearly the first time Lin Xuan met Duanmu Ci, and he suddenly accused Duanmu Ci of having problems, and also said that everyone in Nanmu Town had problems.

This sounds unbelievable no matter how you look at it, so it's normal that Hu Shan doesn't believe it.

But as an experienced old Chi Yan, he also understood that he must not be arbitrary in such matters. Even if he didn't believe it, he had to listen first.

Lin Xuan was not surprised by this, and he had already thought about what to say.

Lin Xuan: I actually awakened a certain ability before, I don’t know what it should be called, but this ability allows me to sense other people’s malice

Xing Yan: Brother Xuanxuan, have you also awakened your magical powers?

Xing Yan's tone was somewhat surprised, and he was obviously happy for Lin Xuan.

Even though Lin Xuan has already shown amazing talent in martial arts, it would definitely not be a bad thing to have one more magical skill.

However, Xing Yan's focus was obviously off track.

After expressing his confirmation, Lin Xuan continued speaking.

Lin Xuan: Ever since we stepped into this town, I have felt the omnipresent malevolence, especially from Mayor Duanmu. The malevolence he exudes is comparable to that of the ogres who want to eat us.
Hu Shan: Are you sure?
Lin Xuan: At least so far, I haven't made any mistakes.
Hu Shan was silent.

Although he was still talking and laughing in reality, he stopped talking in the spiritual channel.

This proves that he is thinking.

Others also noticed this and began to express their opinions.

Xing Yan: Mr. Hu, Brother Xuanxuan wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. I think these people might really have problems.

As always, Xing Yan chose to blindly support Lin Xuan.

If he chose to stand on Lin Xuan's side in everything when he first joined the Spark Project, it was because he wanted to repay Lin Xuan for helping him in the assessment.

Then later on, I really realized that I was not suitable to make a choice, so I simply chose to believe Lin Xuan.

So far, this brainless choice has never caused him any harm.

This time he naturally did the same thing.

Xie Yi: Although I didn't see the problem, Xiaoxuan's perception was much sharper than ours before, so I believe his judgment.
Xie Yi's belief is more rational than Xing Yan's.

However, their judgments were the same, which was to believe what Lin Xuan said.

The only difference is that Xing Yan believed it blindly, while Xie Yi's belief was based on the fact that Lin Xuan had almost never made any mistakes in the past six months.

Chen Donghuang: For this kind of thing, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Teacher Hu, you can't be selectively blind just because you know this person.
Chen Donghuang's understanding is somewhat different from that of Xing Yan and Xie Yi.

He neither blindly believed in Lin Xuan like Xing Yan, nor analyzed Lin Xuan's correctness as carefully as Xie Yi.

But compared to his companion Lin Xuan, he trusted Duanmu Ci, whom he had never met.

As for what Hu Shan said about Duanmu Ci being an old man from the Public Security Bureau, what does that have to do with him?

Chen Donghuang, who came from a big family, was no longer surprised by the many things that happened under the table.

Duanmu Ci's identity did not make Chen Donghuang trust him more.

What's more, Chen Donghuang is the kind of person who would rather let the world let him down than let the world let him down. He doesn't care whether Duanmu Ci is a human or a ghost.

As long as there is a 10% chance that the other party has a problem, he will choose to treat it seriously without any reason.

So he spoke most directly, without taking into account that Hu Shan was his mentor.

The others, like Lin Xinrui, the initiator of the spiritual channel, and Li Zhi, who always seemed wise but foolish, and other students who were pulled in, chose to believe what Lin Xuan said after thinking for a moment.

Even though Lin Xuan's words did sound alarmist, they had no reason not to take them seriously.

After a brief silence, Hu Shan spoke again.

Hu Shan: Okay, don't rush to express your opinions. I don't mean to disbelieve Xiaoxuan, I just think this matter is a bit too bizarre... Forget it, let's not talk about these useless things for now. Xinrui, you should notify everyone one by one later and be ready to break out of here at any time.
Lin Xinrui: Are we going to return from Nanmu Bridge?
Hu Shan: No, if Xiaoxuan's perception is correct, and the entire Nanmu Town is in trouble, they will definitely increase the blockade of the Nanmu Bridge, because once a conflict occurs, the normal thinking will definitely be to think of returning from there.

Xie Yi: Indeed, there is only one entrance to Nanmu Bridge, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we all break out there, we will only be caught in a trap.

Chen Donghuang: So what do you mean, Teacher Hu?

Hu Shan: You will listen to my orders in a moment. When I give the signal, break out in groups of several. If they have no problem, even if you want to leave here, they will at most be a little surprised, but they will not stop you.

Hu Shan paused when he said this.

After a long while, he continued speaking in a concentrated voice.

Hu Shan: If they really try to stop you, it means they all have problems. I will give you a chance to break out. After you leave here, you can just split up and head to the Half Dragon Territory...
