Karen originally thought that she would be the target.

He is all ready, once someone around him is rushing towards him, he will put down Richard and have a real bite with him!

Therefore, Karen was a little surprised when others around turned their gazes back.

But it was soon relieved. Richard's "burden" became a symbol of his own strength in this special environment.

The man who directly knocked Leon out of the test may not know Leon or his identity, or he may know it but he doesn't care, but the first reason he chose Leon as his target was that Leon was already there. The last node was only supported by one breath, and he understood that with just one push, Leon would be pushed out of the competitor sequence.

However, he did not dare to attack Karen, because he did not think that other people around him would join forces with him to attack Karen, because the final quota was 5, not 1. Whoever decides to do it will inevitably face a challenge from Karen. counterattack.

No one would naively think that Karen, who was in such a situation, would continue to hold the oil bottle foolishly. The normal choice is to throw away the oil bottle at that time and kill the guy who was going to get himself. !

Under the premise of mutual competition, no one will choose the strongest action, and the rational optimal solution is often not valid perceptually.

The man lay on the ground, as if gasping for breath.

Karen dragged Richard and moved on, walking past the man, but the man didn't move.

The others were also moving forward, but they all subconsciously pulled a little distance from each other.

This time is the most likely opportunity for cooperation. If this opportunity is lost, it is almost impossible to unite against anyone else.

Karen surpassed everyone, walked in the first row, and continued to march upwards firmly.

Karen lowered her head and looked at Richard. The skin on Richard's body had already frozen to 80%. Now Richard is more like an ice pimple, but his consciousness is still there, and he is still clenching his teeth.

Actually, at this height, even if he didn't come up on his own, this kind of toughness is pretty good. .

This shows that Richard's talent is actually very high, but this guy has a rambunctious personality, in fact, he has somewhat lived up to his talent.

But this is also normal. His family background is here. This family background has given him a high starting point, but also deprived him of the perseverance to climb up from the bottom up.

The height has risen again, and the degree of soul freezing has reached a new height.

At this time, Richard's consciousness finally showed a trend of disintegration, which meant that if he went further, he might be "excluded" from the test directly.

Karen simply stopped, turned around, faced down the mountain, and sat down.

Richard leaned against Karen's arm and made a weak and choppy voice:

"Ka... Lun... I'm... really... a... rubbish..."

"Well, you are."

"You are so...so...help me...but I...but I still mention...can't go up..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense you know."

"I'm so... I feel so... I'm hurt... I'm being... brought up like this by you... I'm so... so tormented..."

"It's hypocritical."

"Being...friend...doing...brother...I...don't want...doing...cumbersome..."

"Shut up, how long can you last."

At this moment, the first figure appeared below, he came up, it was the man of the Knights.

Then, he stopped.

He looked at Karen who was sitting on it, and Richard who was sitting next to Karen.

He knew that the reason why Karen stopped was that the companion beside him could not continue to support upwards.

But when Karen sat there like this, he didn't dare to go up.

Because according to the rules, if you want to ensure the top five, not only when you are still in the test, but also make sure that after you leave the test, those who continue to test will not exceed the coordinate height you left behind.

He witnessed Karen dragging that person here. He must ensure that he can make the top five, and there are not many competitors left on the field. The best way to ensure that is to solve a few here. competitor.

The most embarrassing thing is that the further up you go, the narrower the road will be. At this position, it is almost impossible to get around Karen safely. Moreover, every move will consume the little energy he has left. He also doesn't want to waste on traverse.

Looking at the man in front of him, he stopped and didn't move.

Karen smiled, he didn't know if his face could accurately convey the smile now, but he raised his right arm and waved it behind him, signaling him to go up.

The young man was stunned for a moment. He hesitated, because no one could guarantee him that Karen would not choose to attack.

But looking at the back, Karen, and the snow-capped mountains behind Karen, he finally chose to take a step forward.

When he came to Karen's side, the young man stopped and said:

"My...my name is...Bart...Bart Cusens...The third...Knights...Alternate...Eagle...Knight..."

He was using this way of actively introducing himself to show respect to Karen.

"Karen Silva, a non-staff member of the Order's Whip Hound Neo team."

"This…"

Bart was shocked. He wasn't shocked. Cullen was just a non-staff member of the Whip of Order. His parents were high-ranking officers of the Knights, but isn't he a candidate knight now? He and a well-established family place more emphasis on the development of family children at the grassroots level. Only the nouveau riche would think about climbing up as much as possible within a limited time.

He was shocked that Karen could speak so fluently!

what does that mean?

It means that the other party still has spare power, and it is a lot of spare power.

"Ka... Lun... I want... I want... please... drink... drink..."

"I don't drink alcohol. Drink tea. Drinking alcohol is not good for your health."

"Okay...Okay...let's drink tea..."

Karen turned her head to look at Bart and said, "Go up and talk less."

"Thank you...Thank you..."

Bart continued to take his steps, and walked up step by step with great difficulty. He would keep walking until he was really unable to walk, until he lost consciousness and automatically quit the test and left the formation.

On the one hand, it is the rules of the game, on the other hand, because he knows in his heart that although he is now ranked first, he is not the first, but the second. He believes that Karen will come up.

After Bart went up, soon, a second figure appeared, the boy playing with stones.

What his soul state now presents is that it is half ice and half stone, which makes him look like a stone man.

However, Karen understands that the boy's body is not an ordinary stone, it should be a crystal that looks like a stone, and this state has also infiltrated his soul.

The boy stopped, obviously, he encountered the same situation as Bart.

He knew that Bart was ahead of him, but he didn't know whether Bart continued to go up or was "killed" by Karen.

"I'm curious, have you ever been contaminated?" Karen asked.

"Yes...yes...dirty...pollution..."

"not easy."

This young man is indeed polluted. He is a believer of order, but at the same time, he is also a strange demon.

And his pollution has infiltrated his soul. You can think of him as Dora Doreen. He has endured more pain than Dora Doreen, but he gritted his teeth and embarked on the path of faith.

"Then... that... I... can I... go up... go...?"

The boy asked Karen.

"Go up, it's alright, I won't sneak up on you."

"Oh well…"

The teenager took a step forward and continued to move up, step by step. When he came to Karen's side, the teenager opened his mouth and said:

"My...name...Wen...Ventura...you...you...soul...very powerful..."

The teenager didn't say his surname, which probably means one thing, he doesn't have a family, it doesn't mean he's an orphan, it's very likely that no one will know his surname, so don't say it at all .

This reminded Karen that she was used to bringing her own made-up surname when she signed up with others, but it was not necessary.

"My name is Karen."

Ventura lifted the leg that was half ice and half stone and continued to walk up.

After a while, the man who took Leon out of the test appeared here, and he also stopped. However, he didn't ask, but chose to do the same as Karen, turned around, faced down the mountain, and sat down.

Not long after, Ashley came up, he saw the man sitting there, and also saw the two Karen sitting a little above the man.

She stared at the man stubbornly and continued to walk up.

And when she walked to the man's side, the man jumped up suddenly and rushed towards her.

Ashley was already prepared, and the two scuffled together.

Because the souls of both sides are now on the verge of exhaustion, the picture of the fight will not be accompanied by spells, and there will be no brilliance. In short, it is not so beautiful.

Rather, they are like two dying wild dogs, carrying out their final bite.

Cullen, who was sitting on it, watched this scene calmly. The man did not ask if he could go up like Bart and Ventura, because he assumed that Cullen was guarding the gate.

So he stopped under Karen, he was going to keep his gate.

Obviously, the strength of the man's soul is still higher than that of Ashley, and this is enough to become a real advantage at this critical point.

Ashley was pinned to the ground, her soul was constantly dissipating, but she still did not give up, as if she was doing her last struggle, but her struggle was getting weaker and weaker.

However, at this moment, a tinge of red suddenly appeared in Ashley's soul. A red bird flew out of Ashley's body and slammed directly into the man, and the man's soul was instantly ignited.

I want to melt with you for a long time

In disbelief, his figure disappeared and he withdrew from the test.

Previously, when a candidate was passing through the security check, the phantom of the tortoise on his body was aroused, and in the name of "cheating", he was directly deprived of his qualifications for the examination.

But Ashley also has it, but she is a member of that department, so her relationship with monsters is closer, and her hidden methods are also richer.

As it was broadcasted in the exam instructions, what was found out was cheating, and if you couldn't find out, that's your ability.

Ashley struggled to get up from the snow and looked at Karen.

Because there are not many parts on the face, Karen can only guess, guessing that she is smiling.

"This...is my...most...last...hand...method..."

Karen didn't speak.

Gu Xun

Ashley looked at where the man was sitting before, and then looked behind Karen.

In the end, she decided to go up, because in her opinion, staying here is the same as being pushed out of the test by Karen. Anyway, the coordinates left behind are the same height, so it is better to end it earlier.

However, it was not until she walked past Karen with great difficulty and came to the top of Karen that she turned her head back to look at Karen's back again in astonishment.

"You... you... see... I... did..."

"He...he...ha...cough..." Richard, who was breathing out more than he was taking in, was directly amused.

Laughing like a rotten skeleton about to be annihilated.

"Don't worry, don't think blindly, I didn't like you."

"why…"

"Because you're not pretty enough."

"I hate you…"

After speaking, Ashley continued to walk up.

Well, three people have already gone up, which means that the quota of five people is full, including Cullen and Richard.

But the selection is not over yet, which means that there are still people going up.

Finally, another figure appeared. She was lying on her back on the ground, relying on her hands and feet to paddle in the snow with her body like a boat. It was the sleepy girl.

The sleepy girl's body has basically become an ice cube, and at this height, she has reached the limit.

She stopped,

She sighed,

She put her hands on her sides.

for a long time,

She seemed to have gathered a little more strength and started to climb up.

Karen stood up slowly.

He can continue to go up, but Richard has no choice. Therefore, if he wants to secure Richard's place, he must be the gatekeeper.

The girl swiped in front of Karen, she opened her eyes, looked at Karen, and said:

"wake up…"

As soon as the voice fell, the ice cubes on the girl began to dissipate, and her soul actually recovered to the complete appearance when she first entered the examination room!

The girl stood up, raised her fingers, and pointed at Karen:

"You want to stop me?"

Karen stood in front of her and showed her attitude with her actions.

This may be the last competitor, but it is also the most powerful and mysterious competitor. Although it cannot be ruled out, she, like herself, used special means to avoid the real pressure of this test.

For example, Karen herself has experienced it, and she chose to fall asleep, using "sleepwalking" to create another self, and let that self bear all the consumption from the foot of the mountain to here.

So, in essence, this girl's method is similar to that of the captain's patient who played rock-paper-scissors with herself.

But the captain and the patient were obviously out of fun, and he was nowhere to be seen for a long time. I was afraid that when he was not on the mountainside, he had an infighting with himself because of the uneven division of labor.

"Ka... Lun..." Richard said in a weak voice, "As long as... five... people... in front of me... I'm... not... not... cheating..."

"Are you still struggling with this?"

"Tell... go up... come... see... the scenery... I am... satisfied... satisfied..."

Richard closed his eyes and disappeared.

He himself chose to withdraw from the selection.

Perhaps, if there are other selection methods, he can stand by Karen's side, face something together, resist something together, and help Karen, even if it is only a little, then he can feel a lot more at ease.

But under the background of this selection method, I became Karen's burden completely, and was brought up by Karen all the way.

This is a little too boring.

Although as long as you pass the security check, any method in the examination room is not considered cheating, including Karen's way of pulling hard, and it is not cheating. In the end, he will still get the quota, but Richard feels a burden for the quota obtained in this way. .

In the process, Richard also saw the gap between himself and the truly outstanding people.

Most importantly, he didn't want Karen to fight this sleepy girl for himself.

When Richard disappeared,

Bishop Byrne's voice sounded:

"The selection is over."

"Roar!"

With a low roar from the phantom beast Kompassini, Karen opened her eyes.

At this time, there were only two people left in the examination room, because the two of them were still in the fantasy world when the selection was over. The others, including Bart and the others in front, couldn't stand it after a certain distance. After withdrawing from the selection, there will be a beam of light teleporting their bodies out of the examination room.

Karen looked at the sleepy girl, and the sleepy girl was also looking at him. In her eyes, there seemed to be a kind of regret that she could not really have a conflict with Karen.

Bishop Byrne is reading the rankings.

The first is Bart, the second is Ventura, the third is Ashley, the fourth is Karen, and the fifth... Philomena.

The ranking is actually inaccurate, because there are two people who are still in the fantasy world until the end of the fantasy world. In theory, they can continue to climb up, but for Bishop Bern, he only needs to choose 5 places. A ranking of places does not have much meaning at all.

"Karen, see you at the next selection."

Philomena smiled at Karen, then took out a pair of blindfolds from her pocket and put it on her face, leaning forward again, as if she had fallen asleep again, and then began to stumble away slightly. here.

"Karen, let's go back, hehe." Richard walked over and said.

"Um."

As Karen and Richard walked out, they saw Bart standing there waiting for him.

"Hey, drink tea!"

Bart stepped forward and lightly hammered Karen's chest.

"OK."

"Well, I want to be with you too." Ventura's voice came, and the boy playing with stones was a little shy.

"Don't leave me alone, we will go to the next round together." Ashley also came over.

There were a group of people waiting behind Bart and Ashley. Seeing this, Bart said, "Then don't bring any friends."

Ashley nodded, "I have no problem."

Everyone walked into the teleportation circle, covered by a white light, and everyone returned to the basement of the Academic Affairs Building.

When I went out, there were many friends and parents who picked up people outside.

A figure of a person also appeared there, it was Mr. Memphis.

Seeing this, Richard immediately said, "Mr. Memphis and I will report the situation to the captain. Karen, let's have dinner together."

Richard remembered that Bart had said earlier that he would not bring friends this time.

He knew that Karen would definitely take him, but he was unwilling.

Cullen wanted to stop Richard, he would not neglect his cousin for the so-called New Circle party, but when he saw that it was Mr. Memphis standing there, he didn't say anything.

Richard walked in front of Memphis, and Memphis said, "Captain, they're going back first, leave me here to wait for your news."

"Then let me tell you good news, Karen was selected, haha!"

Mr. Memphis nodded. He was not surprised by this result, because what he and his father predicted was that Richard could only be included in the list by luck.

Of course, they don't know what really happened in the fantasy world, and not many people know it. Only the Bishop Bourne who presides over the fantasy world and the last few finalists know.

Richard said, "I found that there is a big gap between me and them, although everyone is about the same age, sigh, I really wasted a lot of time before, and my life is still too comfortable, and I can't do it again in the future. "

"Each selection test is just a small part of your life experience. Its function is to clarify the direction of your progress. Although you haven't won the ranking, you have already gained something, which is worth being happy."

"Yes, you are right, Memphis, I'm embarrassing you, you are an introverted person who is comforting me." Richard opened his hands and hugged Memphis, "Okay, But my dad probably won't comfort me like this, I guess when I get home, I'll be beaten up by my dad again, alas."

"Will not."

"Most definitely."

"A father can find a reason to beat his son at any time, but he will not choose when his son is lost."

"Oh, you don't understand, my dad has a problem with his brain."

Memphis: "…"

"Aren't you going to talk to Karen?"

"He doesn't lack congratulations now, but now you need company."

"Yes." Richard nodded and put on Memphis's shoulder, "Memphis, you are such a friend, let's go, I will invite you to have a snack today!"

"You'd better go home first."

"Don't go home yet. I've been suffocated these days. I'm going to relax."

"I still have something to do. I can't go today. It's very important."

"Yeah, that's a pity, then I'll go first by myself."

"Okay…"

"Well, after you're done with your work, you can go to Hongye Street, where there is a street of dim sum shops, you can just choose a shop that is pleasing to the eye and enter. After you're done, report my name directly, and you can sign the bill. They all call me young master, hehe. "

"OK…"

"By the way, remember, I'm not called Richard on that street. You know, playing there, how could I use my real name? It's always inconvenient to use my real name."

"What's that called?"

"Master Eisen."
