Chapter 55: Going Mad
Translator: 549690339
A selection process for all of humankind?
The chosen one?
…Changing the world?
Tan Xiao was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the ape. He didn’t expect that anyone could dream bigger than he could.
“Don’t be impulsive, don’t jump to any conclusions before thoroughly investigating,” Teacher Chang advised calmly, “Even if there really is going to be a transformative selection process, it should involve a comprehensive assessnt of morality, intelligence, and physical ability, with diverse questions related to arts and science. Special talents should be given extra points, that’s the scientific way…”
The smile on the ape’s face turned cold and he gave Chang Weicai a “shut up, you have no idea” look.
He stared at the burning fire, saying: “This world is rotten through and through. So people are scorned and work from dawn till dusk without being able to afford a al. Others do nothing while having endless heaps of money. Why? Why are so people born rich and others destined to struggle? Even God cannot stand by and watch anymore, hence this ga… She was right, the trash should be cleared away! It’s not we who killed those people, but their incompetence… he was slayed by the ga, not , not , I am the winner, I received the divine gift, I am the chosen one… I am different from them…”
His voice trailed into a murmur, as if bewitched, repeating over and over—”l’m the chosen one, I’m different…l’m the chosen one…
Tan Xiao was at a loss for words, watching the ape. Eventually, he turned to look at Shen MO and Bai Youwei, pointing at his head, implying: is this guy going mad?
The ape said, “Right.”
Surprised, Tan Xiao hastily put his hand down.
The ape plastered on a smile, saying to Shen Mo: “Speaking of which, I should thank your sister. If she hadn’t lasted until the ninth round, even if we had completed the ga, we might not have so many opportunities to use the mud prize.”
Passing the ninth round, winning the prize nine tis, behind this reward laid several lives.
Yet not only did he not bear any grudges, on the contrary, he was eagerly trying to get closer to Shen MO and Bai Youwei.
Shen MO remained indifferent, not comnting on this topic, simply saying: “The rain is not likely to stop anyti soon, we can’t drive, let’s get sothing to eat.”
The ape nodded, stood up and said, “There are so bowls and pots in the cafeteria. I will go and get so.”
As he was saying that, he braved the rain and ran out.
The others in the room watched his figure disappear, silent for a mont.
The ape’s reaction was abnormal, it seed like he thought of himself as the savior, after experiencing a test of fate he began to think he was superior. Shen MO dropped his eyes to look at Bai Youwei and asked her, “Do you feel better now?”
Bai Youwei quietly lowered her head, her long hair covering her cheeks, hiding her expression.
Watching the two of them, Tan Xiao felt the atmosphere had suddenly beco strange and asked puzzledly, “What on earth is going on with the ape?”
Nobody answered.
Teacher Chang shook his head lightly and sighed deeply:
“Sigh…”
It was afternoon and the sky was as dark as night.
Tan Xiao rummaged through the trunk and found so food—just canned at and instant noodles. Everyone made do with a pot of boiling water over the fire and hastily ate their al.
Bai Youwei ate very little, just a couple of bites of her instant noodles and set it aside. She looked low-spirited.
She acted differently inside and outside the ga.
Soft and silent outside;
Defiant and wild inside.
Shen MO had never t a girl or woman like her.
The female colleagues he had encountered at work were all outspoken and friendly. The cousins in his family were all knowledgeable and well-behaved, only Bai Youwei made him feel that every encounter was like getting pricked.
It seed that his initial comparison of her to a small hedgehog was way off the mark.
A hedgehog has sharp quills, while Bai Youwei was covered in knives!
Killer knives, even..
