“What could have happened?”
Song qingxiao frowned when she heard number Seven’s words.
No. 7 wouldn’t have come to chat with her for no reason. She didn’t hide her desire to find out more, probably because she was sure she knew something.
Song qingxiao thought back to when she was chatting with Shirley on the deck. Although they were standing in a remote corner, if Mr. Zhou could see them, No. 7 might have seen them too.
This number seven was not an ordinary person. He was good at socializing, drinking and chatting with people. Even when he was in a fight, he still had the time to observe the people and things around him.
“Then what do you think will happen tomorrow?”
Song qingxiao’s mouth twitched as she asked number seven.
The smile on number Seven’s face deepened, and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
“For example, when will we be able to reach the island? after all, Mr. Zhou mentioned today that we will be entering the island soon.” She grabbed the door frame with one hand and leaned her upper body toward song Qing.
“Or will there be any unexpected situations on the island that are related to the mission?”
Song qingxiao was not used to being so close to people. The moment she leaned over, she subconsciously leaned her upper body back.
This was an after-effect of her battle with the bespectacled man in the last trial. After all, the trial-takers in the mission had all kinds of strange methods. There were even ways to kill people by spitting out poisonous snakes from the mouth of the bespectacled man, so she was naturally more careful in everything.
Seeing her like this, number seven pursed his lips, “”Why don’t I go in and sit down, and we can chat for a while?”
“No, I won’t.”
Song qingxiao didn’t want to maintain this hypocritical interaction with her. She grabbed the door and pretended to close it.
She was cold to number seven from the beginning to the end. She did not soften her attitude because of number Seven’s smiling face and intimate gesture. Number Seven’s smile was a little stiff, and her eyebrows were knitted. She knew that this trick did not work on song qingxiao. She sighed and changed her way of speaking.
“I know your name, but you probably don’t know my name or the identity of the other trial-takers. Don’t you want to know more?”
She threw out a bait and thought that song qingxiao would be moved by her words. However, song qingxiao remained unmoved after she finished speaking.
“I’m not interested,”
This attitude was beyond number Seven’s expectations. She tilted her head and asked in confusion,”
“Why?”
Everyone was in the same trial, and as the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.
Knowing more about the other party might increase his survival rate in the trial.
It was obvious that number seven had used this move to gain some advantage over the other participants. Therefore, when she saw that the move that she thought was always successful had been defeated by song qingxiao, she almost couldn’t control the surprise in her eyes.
After her instinctive question, song qingxiao showed a rare smile.
“What’s the use?”
Even if it was like No. 7, who matched each participant’s name with the person himself, the participant’s name was just a code name in the trial. This thing could only be turned into something truly beneficial in reality.
For example, in the last trial, after number five and number six knew her name, they found her through various means and then caused her trouble.
However, the prerequisite for this kind of thing to happen was to get out alive.
you know my name. It’s meaningless for me to die in the trial, and it won’t affect me at all if you die in the trial.
Therefore, song qingxiao was not very curious about such things.
Number seven didn’t expect her to answer like that. He was stunned for a long time, and his expression gradually froze.
“Is this trial going to be very dangerous?”
Even she felt that she had asked a ridiculous question.
Since the beginning of the trial, the difficulty had increased each time. Needless to say, the danger was obvious. From the number of people hired by Mr. Zhou, some clues could be seen.
After sending away the girl who came to ask for information, song Qing locked the door and lay back on the bed.
She stared at the air conditioner outlet, lost in thought. The arrival of number seven interrupted her thoughts. She patiently began to recall the conversation with Shirley, trying to grasp her intuition that had a flash of inspiration.
She had studied Mr. Zhou’s identity, behavior, and behavior over and over again to make sure that she had not missed anything. She had also studied Xue Li’s personality, age, and even origin, and she did not find anything wrong with it.
She remembered the brief conversation Mr. Zhou had with Xue Li after he had appeared. Xue Li had whispered into his ear and explained song qingxiao’s background in detail.
“Her surname is song, and her name is song qingxiao. Her family is poor, and she only has one mother. Out of concern for the tuition fees, they signed up for the application. After passing the conditions and passing the test, they would be recruited into the team. He should be a poor man who has not seen much of the world. He mentioned that you look familiar and did not know that you have been in newspapers and magazines, so he did not know much about your identity.”
When she thought about this, song qingxiao already felt that something was wrong. She passed the requirements for the interview and seemed to come from a poor family with no sense of existence. She only had one relative in her family and no power.
She had entered the exam to raise money for her tuition. From the various hints that song qingxiao had received today, she could see that Mr. Zhou’s conditions for hiring people were quite good.
Under what circumstances would he spend so much money just to recruit poor people who had no sense of existence and had never seen the world?
The island was full of danger. Mr. Zhou might be doing illegal business. He kept it a secret all the way and did not really expose his purpose to a certain group of people who were hired, but these people were at the bottom of the society with a very low sense of existence.
In other words, a person with an identity like ‘her’ wouldn’t be able to cause much of a stir even if she went missing.
In other words, the reason why Mr. Zhou hired her and the other participants was most likely not to collect results or carry items for him, but to send them to their deaths!
Song qingxiao finally realized this and shuddered.
By now, many clues could be seen in the mission. The danger of this trip did not come from the island, but from the people on the same boat. It was possible that the trial-takers would face a double-sided crisis.
She thought of the hint in her mind. She had no idea what the six circular shadows in the huge hexagonal magic array represented.
It was very likely to be the threat on the island, the research products related to Mr. Zhou’s biotechnology company. In terms of genetic breakthrough, it could be animals or humans used for research.
There could be six of these species, or seven, which was equivalent to the number of trial-takers. They could only be clearly distinguished on the island.
The air conditioner’s outlet was facing her bed. She had just turned over and taken a shower, but her body was soaked with cold sweat. When the air conditioner blew, she only felt a piercing cold.
Fortunately, there were still three days before she would reach the island. She had to rest in these three days to deal with what was about to happen..
