Chapter 304: Test
Wan Jie was surrounded, but he didn’t panic. His eyes scanned everyone. His gaze stopped temporarily on Zuo Jun and Fu Huo.
“The anomalies are happening all over the city. The tragedy is coming. The things you’re good at might be useful against me, but are they useful against the ghosts?” Wan Jie turned his gaze back to Jing Tuoshen. “I have no intention of fighting you for anything. The power that you pursue is dirt to me. I merely do not wish for my teammates to die for no reason.” He turned back to Bai Xiao, “You think our security department is inhumane and treats the normal investigators as cannon fodder. However, we are also knives in other people’s hands. Does the blade need emotions? No. As long as they are sharp.” Wan Jie picked up the black box and walked out. “If you change your mind, you can come find me anytime.” Wan Jie had a pair of eyes that could see through the fog. This was the reason why he was not favoured by certain higher-ups. Bai Xiao, who stood inside the room, did not put his knife away. He looked at Jing Tuoshen with alertness. None of these people were good people.
“Your blade should be used to challenge ghosts and not your colleagues.” Jing Tuoshen was satisfied with Bai Xiao’s performance. “Chief Chen has told me everything. You can rival the ghost who heavily injured the security team four. You are a good seed. Once you’re with me, no one will steal your knife. Everything you gain in the anomalies will be yours.”
“What do you mean?” Bai Xiao felt like Jing Tuoshen was recruiting him.
“You’ve been targeted by the security department. The only party who can shield you now is us.” Zuo Jun put on the new chief uniform. “The east city is rebuilding a new force. If you join now, you’ll be one of the core members.” Zuo Jun had met Bai Xiao at Han De Private School. He had a deep impression of Bai Xiao.
“Aren’t you a member of Class Thirteen?”
“I’m different from those horror game players. My goal is to capture and send them all to the research department.” Cruelty flashed in Zuo Jun’s eyes. He abandoned Situ An and committed to serving Jing Tuoshen. He had done very horrible things to his classmates to prove his loyalty. Yuan Hui, beside him, looked mentally unstable. It was very highly that they had personally murdered their classmates.
“You can even murder your classmates. How can I trust people like you?” Bai Xiao didn’t want to interact too much with them.
“Murders are simple. What they did are worse than murders.” Jing Tuoshen revealed a rare smile. His smile didn’t make people feel happy but afraid.
