Chapter 73: Battle Royale

At this moment, Qiao Suisui was somewhat surprised because the person in front of her looked very depressed, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura, but his mental power was actually zero.

Just as she entered the auditorium, several mental powers quickly wrapped around her, and after confirming her level and threat, they quickly faded away. Although those males didn't say a word, the meaning in their eyes was clearly "You are too weak, I don't want to bother with you," "Ah, so weak, no threat at all."

This experience was something she had never had before, and it was also the only time she had experienced mental power exchange with others since she awakened her mental power, except for the time she was accidentally injured by Luka's pressure. That feeling was too magical, something she hadn't experienced at all when she was a female.

In fact, Qiao Suisui didn't know that male beastmen usually greeted each other like this, but for females, the interstellar space had clear regulations that males could not release their mental power at will. Coupled with the moral shackles in society, if a male conducted mental power probing and wrapping on a female, he would be scolded to the point of social death, because they believed that this male was too frivolous and not a serious male.

But this person, who clearly looked very strong, actually had a mental power level lower than her own?

"Ah, sorry, I stepped on you." Her voice, blessed by the voice-changing pill, could no longer hear the original tenderness, but sounded like the person, like a clean teenager who had just finished puberty.

Anubis only nodded and withdrew his gaze, not looking at her again. Unless necessary, he wouldn't have contact with anyone; one more point of understanding meant one more point of risk of exposure.

"My name is Qiao, nice to meet you."

"Hmm."

"What's your name? We might be classmates in the future."

Anubis glanced at her coldly, seeing that face full of longing, a pair of pitch-black pupils as moist and clear as if they could cry at any time. He withdrew his gaze lightly, and after a long while, spat out a word in the noisy crowd: "Bi."

This was the name his father and Uncle Xiwuoen often called him when he was a child, always calling him "Little Bi," "Bi," and at that time, everyone thought life had hope...

Unlike the teenager's gloom, Qiao Suisui tilted her head and smiled, bright and cheerful. Her mood improved a lot after coming out.

"We both have one-character names."

Could it be that he was also using a fake name? She joked in her heart.

Suddenly, a screeching sound from a microphone appeared on the stage of the auditorium, and then a man with a square face and a serious expression stood in the center of the stage, speaking to the thousands of freshmen below.

"The theme of this test: Escape Game. Rules: No rules. Goal: Survive to the end. Okay, now, start."

A speech without a head or tail, not even a greeting, ended briefly and shockingly. Most of the males below the stage didn't react; some looked at each other, some frowned in confusion, some looked blank. Someone in the crowd shouted and asked: "Then how do we pass?"

"Since it's a game, what's most important?"

After the man in the center of the stage finished speaking, he walked away directly from the backstage, leaving the freshmen discussing.

"What the hell, why did he leave without making it clear?"

"I guess the questions every year, and I never guess right."

"So what should we do now? Did he just say start?"

In the crowd, Qiao Suisui looked at the entire auditorium, which was boiling like a pot, and lowered her eyes to think quietly.

What's most important in a game?

Perhaps it was the hint left by the person who set the question.

Anubis observed everything around him calmly, first locking his gaze on the windows and doors. Since it was an escape game, it meant that escaping would win, but he didn't act immediately.

Clearly, many quick-reacting beastmen could think of this point, and they ran quickly toward the main entrance of the auditorium, with arrogant and proud smiles on their faces.

"A bunch of idiots, thinking so complicatedly, just do it."

An ape beastman had already run to the door, opened it without hesitation, and went out, with the momentum of a race sprint. The next second after he stepped out of the door, he lost his footing and fell down with a shrill scream.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

"Fell down? How could this happen?"

"What happened?"

Following that, several more beastmen fell out of the door because they ran too fast and couldn't stop their steps. The few beastmen who followed the wind and ran slower luckily saved their lives.

"There's a bottomless pit below!" Someone shouted while grabbing the edge of the door.

A few bold beastmen looked down cautiously, only to see pitch black all around the door, as if the entire auditorium was placed in a suspended black planet.

"But when we came over, it was clearly a small garden path. Aren't we in the Interstellar Strategic Academy?" Someone grabbed his hair and shouted out of control.

A few agile beastmen had already climbed onto the windows at this time. With the previous lessons, this time they didn't jump down directly, but after observing, they shouted: "Outside the window is also a bottomless pit, there's no way to go at all."

Anubis watched as several beastmen collapsed and shouted "Let us out," looking as calm as if he had no emotions. Qiao Suisui was also calm, having thought of the way to escape through the door and window just now, but didn't act rashly.

At this time, the auditorium's loudspeaker sounded: "Survival packs are now being distributed, in groups, minimum number: 7 people. Free grouping."

Except for those who already knew each other, everyone else was still feeling confused about the current situation, while Qiao Suisui had quickly found those who were also watching the situation calmly just now.

One was "Bi" beside her. There was another group, all of them over 1.88 meters tall, with beautiful physiques, bronze skin, and mysterious totems of various patterns painted on their faces.

She released her mental power to greet them.

The five people not far away immediately looked at Qiao Suisui. The boy standing in the middle had white spells painted on his brows and eye corners, clearly the person with the right to speak in this small group. And the male next to him whispered in his ear: "Jiejin, don't bring such a burden."

All five of them were the purest males from the Hot-Blooded Horse family, and the totems on their faces were symbols of their respective branches. Horses like to live in groups, and the hot-blooded horses were tall, had strong endurance, and were fierce and mighty. Although they didn't believe in the survival of the fittest as extremely as lion beastmen, there was still a contempt chain. Qiao Suisui, a C-rank, clearly didn't meet their choice.

Jiejin looked at the thin teenager, whose pair of black, bright eyes were looking at him with firmness and sincerity, and then stepped over. Others were stunned and followed him.

"Do you want to group with us?"

Qiao Suisui nodded. She had a very clear understanding of her own strength, so she had to show the benefits she could bring to this small team in a needle-point way, so that it was possible not to be left alone.

"I have a space. Take me with you, it will definitely be useful to you."

Norway and others were surprised, looking her up and down, and questioned unhappily: "Just you?"

Qiao Suisui didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly took out the reward from the storage grid given by the system. Everyone saw a water-shaped dagger appear out of thin air in her palm.

"Norway, this kid really looks like he has space."

Norway was slapped in the face, somewhat angry and embarrassed, and wanted to question, but seeing a gesture from Jiejin, he closed his mouth obediently.

Jiejin said: "Okay, then we are still missing one."

Qiao Suisui grabbed Anubis's wrist beside her and said: "We are two people."

Anubis was stunned, not expecting her to take him with her. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
