From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

at this time.

A gentleman in a black tailcoat entered the space and addressed the crowd: "Please divide into five teams based on the vehicles you are in. The Violinist, the Masked Woman, the Death Shooter, the Puppet, and the Cheshire Cat will serve as your judges and inspectors for the test."

If one passes all the tests and becomes a full member, they will be incorporated into the ranks of inspectors.

So the group split into five teams of twenty people each, while the team Jiang Liu and his group belonged to, led by Cheshire Cat, had twenty-one people.

Follow the Cheshire Cat as we leave the venue and enter a passageway that winds its way through several turns until we arrive at a small room.

The room contained a long table, twenty chairs, and ten large boxes and ten small boxes.

Ailiwang opened the large box, which contained twenty sets of green sportswear; Lu Jin opened the small box, which contained twenty bib numbers, starting with "5" and followed by numbers from "-1" to "-20".

5 represents the team number, distinguishing it from the other four teams, while 1 to 20 are the member numbers of the next five teams.

"We have twenty-one people, so why are there only twenty sets of sportswear and numbers?" Warwick asked the Cheshire Cat, his brow furrowed.

Swish!

But then a flash of light appeared.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Warwick's head rolled to the ground with a "thud."

"Now there are twenty people, aren't there?"

The Cheshire Cat casually sheathed his bloodless sword back into its sheath and said something.

In an instant.

Most of the remaining twenty ordinary people were swallowing hard.

"I want to quit!"

Someone raised their hand.

Then another flash of light appeared.

The man's head also fell off.

No one else left after that.

The deaths of two people in succession made them realize the cruelty of this test—this place was clearly not to be known to outsiders!

All they can do is pass the test; otherwise, their only fate is death.

"Two lucky winners have already emerged, who wants to be the third?"

“I know that there are magicians and alchemists among you. If you cooperate, you might be able to kill me, but you will definitely not be able to escape.”

Seeing that Ariwan Banner had used his powers, growing taller and his muscles bulging, Cheshire Cat didn't intend to fight him. He just chuckled coldly, "There are three hundred fully armed soldiers patrolling this base. And even if some of you escaped, in the vast desert, a helicopter flying high in the sky would be enough to find your tracks."

"Hehe, I was just joking!" Alywan immediately tucked in her muscles, reverting to her original loli-girl appearance, playing with the dagger in her hand, completely different from her previous angry demeanor.

"Change your clothes and put on the number."

"By the way," Cheshire Cat said, "the number is your identification number in the expedition team after you pass the test. It's also proof of how many of the millions of pounds you receive and how many of the 'fours' you get."

"Is there a changing room?" Evelyn asked, raising her hand.

"······No."

Cheshire Cat's eyes were hostile, and he wanted to slash her with his sword, but he couldn't see through Jiang Liu and Lu Jin beside Evelyn, so he suppressed his urge to attack.

Despite how casually she spoke about her death, she wouldn't actually joke about her own life.

Jiang Liu picked up a set of clothes and put them on Evelyn with lightning speed. Before Evelyn could even react, she found that her original clothes (except for her underwear) were already on the conference table, and she was now wearing a green tracksuit.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Liu used his magical abilities to change himself, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying into those green tracksuits.

The others didn't have that ability, so they quickly took off their original clothes and put on green sportswear.

This also made all their personal belongings readily visible, the most eye-catching of which was the Death Bracelet that Siwon wore on his waist.

“Hey, miss, could you give me back my Death Bracelet?” Evelyn walked up to Siwon, held out her hand, and said with a hostile look in her eyes, “This is the property of the Egyptian Museum.”

"If you're so capable, then take it from me."

Siobhan remained unfazed. Seeing that he had been exposed, he stopped pretending, took off the Death Bracelet, put it on his wrist, and asked Cheshire Cat, "Can I carry my personal belongings?"

"can."

After receiving affirmation, Siobhan gave Evelyn a provocative look.

"Why didn't I notice this woman was so annoying in the car earlier?" Duanmu Ying, hands on her hips, nudged Jiang Liu's shoulder and said in Chinese, "Why don't you use your spatial abilities to get the Death Bracelet back?"

"Sometimes, retrieving the Death Bracelet doesn't necessarily require using your abilities..."

# Chapter 698 Cleverness and Feigning Weakness

"Sometimes, retrieving the Death Bracelet doesn't necessarily require using your abilities..."

说罢，江流走到小箱子前，拿出了5-1的号码布，但手中的动作却并未停止，还拿了5-2、5-3、5-4、5-5、5-6的号码布。

"Thank you."

Evelyn reached out, but was surprised to see that Jiang Liu did not hand her the bib number 5-2.

“These six bib numbers are all mine.” After saying that, Jiang Liu winked at her.

How could Evelyn not understand?

How many people besides these individuals have a conscience who dare to participate in this team entry test?

So she also got two bib numbers.

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying also wanted to take a few more pieces, but after receiving a telepathic message from Jiang Liu, they didn't take any.

"Hey! Why do you two have so many numbers?" someone exclaimed in surprise, questioning the two of them.

But when the man questioned him, Eliwan Banner recalled that the Cheshire Cat had just said that the number was proof of the ratio of one million pounds to "four". His eyes lit up and he immediately pounced on the small box and grabbed three number bibs.

The other alchemists and magicians in the group also realized what was happening and immediately stepped forward to scramble for the bib numbers, dividing up the remaining nine numbers.

There are 20 yuan for the number and 19 people. Theoretically, each person gets one yuan, but there will be one yuan left over.

Those who practice spiritual cultivation do not love money, but if they have money, they can devote more energy to honing their abilities in spiritual cultivation!

Even if one reaches the state of abstinence from grains and drinks dew while living in the human world, one still needs money to communicate with others. How can one truly be completely detached from currency?

The remaining ordinary people who hadn't received a number looked at each other, their gazes falling on the Cheshire Cat, who simply showed an expression of interest.

It's obvious!

She wanted to see this happen!

At this point, Jiang Liu held six numbers, Evelyn held two numbers, and Allevan held three numbers. The other three Westerners, including Siwon, each had three numbers, while the remaining ordinary people had none.

You can't do this!

Someone shouted angrily.

However, some people remained calm and said, "The first test question is about trust. The test content hasn't been officially announced yet. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Jiang Liu remained silent, as did Evelyn.

Only Ariwan, waving the three bib numbers in her hand, chuckled and said, "It's precisely because the topic is trust that we need leverage!"

This is also true.

Apart from Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, and Evelyn, who completely trusted each other, the rest of the people present were ordinary people without superpowers. They had always lived a life of danger and had no trust in each other.

Or is it that on the way here, after Jiang Liu guided the conversation and introduced himself, everyone could open up to each other?

Mutual wariness already exists!

Especially since the Cheshire Cat initially amplified this wariness with the promise of profit, how could most people at the scene truly trust each other?

As Alejandro González said—

Trust requires leverage!

"Referee, are those of us without numbers eliminated immediately?" someone asked Cheshire Cat timidly.

“As long as you don’t give up voluntarily, you’re not considered eliminated.” Cheshire Cat smiled slightly.

Not giving up voluntarily?

For a time, ordinary people without numbers were all tempted, realizing that they could still obtain numbers before the three tests were completely over, whether by asking someone who had multiple numbers or by trying to trick them in the later tests to get a number.

In other words, if these people without phone numbers band together, they can steal other people's phone numbers, and the rules do not restrict the items they can carry.

They all have guns!

The people who currently possess this number are all "freaks," possessing powers they cannot even imagine, but they are still carbon-based life forms, right?

If the bullets can penetrate their heads, they can definitely kill them!

But no one wanted to be the first to stick their neck out.

At this moment, Jiang Liu took out a bib number 5-2 and handed it to Lu Jin, saying, "You and I are brothers who are connected even if our bones are broken, so of course I'll give you one."

"Thank you."

Lu Jin smiled as she took the bib number and put it in her pocket.

“We’re from the same hometown, and considering how much money you owe me, how about I keep it for you?” Jiang Liu flicked the bib number 5-3 and slowly stuffed it into his pocket.

Suddenly, Duanmu Ying flung out a crystal scalpel. With a flash of cold light, the blade, carrying the bib number, pierced into the nearby wall.

Then, with a wave of her hand, the crystal scalpel flew back into her hand, carrying the bib number.

This move also shocked the ordinary people present.

This scene led many people in the room to believe that the relationship between Jiang Liu and Duanmu Ying might not be as close as before.

However, Jiang Liu's act of distributing bib numbers made the others realize that they had to give some ordinary people on site benefits before the first test officially began, otherwise they might be tricked by them later.

"Bib number 5-4—"

Jiang Liu said to a middle-aged man with two yellow beards nearby, "Brother, although we cultivators are quite powerful, we are not necessarily good at exploration. Judging from your appearance, you are an experienced explorer. Why don't we go together?"

"no problem!"

Yellow-bearded man beamed with joy.
