Chapter 398 No. 253
The man seemed a little hesitant. He turned his head to look at the door of the secret room that had been blasted by him, and then looked at the extremely long passages on both sides. The passages extend to the corner at the end. He didn't know where they should go, nor did he know whether he should go out or turn back to the secret room to stay.
"Come here and go right." The monitor on the ceiling issued an instruction. The man was stunned for a moment, then obediently and began to walk to the right.
When I walked to the corner of the corridor, the monitor above my head issued a second command: "Go to the left, walk to the fork, and then go to the right."
So, under the command of the monitor, he kept moving forward, moving like a mouse in a maze, and finally came to a thick gate, the iron gate, with a simple and unpretentious style. The wheel-like turntable above was the mechanism for opening the door. He hesitated for a few seconds, held the roulette with both hands and turned it hard.
After the wheel rotated for a while, it made a slight click, as if the iron bar inside the iron door had contracted and the lock was opened.
He carefully pushed open the door, and the iron door opened a small gap, and then a noisy sound came from the other side of the door. It had been too long since he heard a sound other than his own breathing. During the period of time in the secret room, he would not even talk to himself in the later period.
The door was suddenly pulled open by the person on the other side. The man was startled. He couldn't help but take a step back. He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Bai Mufeng standing in front of him.
"I, have I passed your test?"
"It depends on what you can do for me. The supernatural power you awaken is called magic. Now you tell me what it can do."
"I can make the things I touch explode." The man replied.
"Can you make yourself explode?" Bai Mufeng asked.
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, nodded hesitantly: "I think... I think it should be possible."
“Is it OK anytime, anywhere?”
"Um."
"Very good, this is your number. From now on, you will be No. 253. Forgot your name." Bai Mufeng said, "This is your clothes. Put them on. From today on, it will be the real test."
After saying that, Bai Mufeng threw his uniform to him and turned around and was about to leave.
The man was stunned for a while when he looked at the uniform, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and chased after him a few steps: "Where did you promise me?"
"It depends on whether you can pass the test I set next." Bai Mu didn't look back and his pace gradually accelerated.
No. 253 was shocked and suddenly felt like he was fooled. He had been in the dark secret room for a long time, enduring hunger and mental torture. Now he finally came out, and there were still subsequent tests waiting for him. This was different from the other party's previous agreement!
"You promised me! I have passed the test!" No. 253 said this in his anger.
Bai Mufeng's steps stopped, and the back of No. 253 cooled down, like a basin of cold water pouring from head to toe, and he was awake.
What happened to me just now? I dared to say such words to this person.
Bai Mufeng slowly turned around, his eyes were cold and distant, like a window floating in winter with cold mist, making people unable to see what was under his eyes. Under his gaze, 253 felt a strange chill, as if the temperature in reality had dropped by several degrees.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, it's the same for other people to come out from there. You are just an ordinary person now, and I can understand that I have this emotion.
But next you have to start learning to control your emotions. People who cannot control their emotions cannot pass the test. As for the result of failure, I will just say it, it is death."
"die?!"
"Why are you so surprised? I remember telling you at the beginning that I would die."
"I thought, I thought..."
"Do you think you can rest assured only by testing you, and then pass the test?" Bai Mufeng stared at the man for a while, and let out a disdainful chuckle.
"Who do you think you are? Before you came here, you were just a waste, no money, no family, no friends, and even carried your lives... You are just a homeless man who has killed people and has no way out. How much do you think your life is worth? Do you still remember what I promised you?"
The scene of him and Bai Mufeng's first encounter appeared in No. 253's mind. At that time, he had a high fever and was searching for food in the bucket. He killed someone and had no way out. He could not work or board, nor could he appear under the surveillance camera.
That day he was hungry, but his body was very weak and he couldn't even stand firmly. At that time, the man walked up to him and asked his name the first sentence.
At that time, he thought the other party was a policeman. When he turned around and wanted to leave, the other party stopped him: "Do you want to get rid of this kind of life? I can give you a life that you can't imagine, and of course, it will also destroy the world you hate."
The memories ended, and 253's thoughts floated back to reality.
He came back to his senses and looked at the other party: "You said... you will destroy this world."
"If you still have that anger and hatred now, then continue to persevere. Will people with that will be afraid of death?" Bai Mufeng said coldly.
253 grabbed the uniform in his hand and stopped talking. Although he did not reply, his eyes no longer swayed and became extremely firm.
"Come with me, there are still many things you have to do next, and everyone here is a madman like you."
Bai Mufeng continued to walk forward, No. 253 followed him without saying a word, passed through a passage, turned to a huge open space. For a moment, No. 253 even felt that he had fallen from the ground to the building on the ground, but when he found that there were no windows around, he knew that he was still underground.
This space that was like a gathering hall was crowded with people. Those who were coming and going were wearing the same uniform. The style of the piece he was holding now. In addition to those people, there were other Bai Mufengs passing through the crowd.
Another Bai Mufeng walked towards him and handed over the Bai Mufeng who led him.
"A newcomer?"
"Um."
"What magical art?"
"The ability to make the object you touch explode can kill yourself in a short time, but the specific details need to be tested."
"I understand, let's leave it to me next." Bai Mufeng, who had just appeared, nodded, and then looked at 253, "Come here, I'll tell you what you're going to do in the future."
After the two had a brief exchange, the new man led to an unknown location.
He was taken to a dormitory, which was a single dormitory. In addition to the place to sleep and bath, there was even a separate study and a simple kitchenette. This accommodation environment surprised No. 253.
"I...I will live here later?"
"Well, starting today, you have to exercise your magic skills, and also take classes with others, conduct regular assessments, and then in the end, only one of you can survive." Bai Mufeng said without any concealment.
Even though No. 253 was prepared, he still felt a sudden slap in his heart when he heard that only one person could survive in the end.
"If you're afraid, give up. There is a computer on the table that you can use as much as you want to know. Everything you want to know is inside."
After saying this, Bai Mufeng closed the door and left. No. 253 stood alone at the door for a while, calmed down, walked to the computer and sat down, and then turned on the computer.
