Chapter 152: Lucky Big Turntable?

Of course, Liu Xiaotian was just teasing that idiot for a moment, then quickly made up an excuse to brush past the three of them.

It's not that I don't trust them; I just don't want those three to follow along worrying.

Liu Xiaotian felt that although the tracked signal source was twenty kilometers outside the Warrior Academy, the person secretly controlling all of this was likely nearby.

Moreover, it must be related to Xiezi.

It's obvious that the enemy's target is him and Cha Cai, and to that end they even eliminated Dabing in advance.

Liu Xiaotian had no intention of being afraid at all; instead, he was very curious about this person who had hidden himself thoroughly.

As for these things that have happened during this period, completely off-script, for Liu Xiaotian they are far more stimulating than the feeling of everything going exactly according to script and fully under control.

Danger certainly exists, but Liu Xiaotian doesn't care.

That night, even someone like Cha Cai, who truly had experienced life-or-death danger, stared wide-eyed and couldn't sleep half the night; but Liu Xiaotian? As soon as he lay down, he entered dreamland.

At one, one look`no, one wrong version%！'

Especially after just experiencing the sweep of two rifles, he even developed a bit of an inflated mindset.

Fortunately, this time Pi Te didn't keep talking endlessly; instead, he quietly led the way up front, directly bringing Liu Xiaotian into another basement.

Liu Xiaotian followed somewhat dazedly, still pondering the meaning behind the Chief Instructor's words.

A wide, long corridor had pure steel doors on both sides, each with a 'steering wheel' on top; just glancing at their thickness, Liu Xiaotian felt they were no less than the length of his single arm.

Afterwards, he started turning those two 'steering wheels' repeatedly, making Liu Xiaotian feel a bit dizzy, before hearing a soft 'click' as the door finally opened slowly.

Being fixed to the steel plate like this probably won't be too pleasant, right?

While alive, every outing, every action, even every breath could bring danger.

It's not that he had no doubts in his heart; he just didn't dare to speak up.

Is this for laundry detergent or dish soap? Or maybe toilet paper? But since it's free, might as well not miss out!

Damn it, am I some supermarket auntie or uncle? And they're throwing a raffle?

A few seconds later, 'Jiaweis' popped up a three-dimensional image before his eyes: just a red-and-blue prototype wheel and a tiny white sphere.

Xiezi was fixed to a steel-plate-made 'bed', head and limbs immobilized, unable to move even a bit.

The next morning, after the soldiers gathered, Pi Te announced the upcoming training content in place of the Chief Instructor:

Although Liu Xiaotian had no similar experience, he had watched many divine and suspense dramas, even including that whatever-whatever-few-big-whatever-punishment show everyone wants to see; if he could act freely, prying open Xiezi's mouth shouldn't be a big problem, right?

"I choose to draw the lottery immediately!" Liu Xiaotian said in his heart.

Having Liu Xiaotian meet Xiezi was the Elder Principal's intention.

But it seems no one else can be blamed; it's entirely deserved.

"Congratulations on completing the capture mission; mission points have been awarded, plus extra rewards, owed mission points cleared, and additionally awarded two lottery chances—would you like to use them now?"

Seeing Liu Xiaotian, the Chief Instructor gave a slight nod, then let Pi Te leave first.

After passing through a seven- to eight-meter-long passage, Liu Xiaotian finally saw Xiezi; upon seeing this, he involuntarily shrank his neck.

Next, he brought his eyes to the ebony-colored door with two 'steering wheels', whose material was indiscernible, first using fingerprint touch, then pressing his eyes to the matchbox-sized gap that slowly opened.

Now Xiezi is held behind a transparent glass barrier, rather than the previous steel fence.

As they say, great skill breeds boldness; Liu Xiaotian naturally feels confident in his own strength now.

This time, as soon as Liu Xiaotian stepped out of the elevator door, he felt like he had entered the underground vault of the World Bank.

Of course, Liu Xiaotian wouldn't foolishly think that was just ordinary glass or the tempered glass you can buy on the market.

At the end of the corridor, Liu Xiaotian saw the Chief Instructor already waiting there.

As for whether he could pry open Xiezi's mouth……

"Since yesterday, Xiezi has been transferred to this cell; besides me, only the Principal can open this door. And you, aside from me and the Principal, are the only person who can come into contact with Xiezi."

The Chief Instructor glanced sideways at Liu Xiaotian and said softly:

Practical combat simulation training is temporarily suspended, switching to training in cold weapons and unarmed combat.

"Lottery rules: win rate thirteen percent, begin generating the lottery turntable……"

Even without the Chief Instructor's introduction, he could guess that this 'glass wall' could withstand at least half of the explosives.

What if the air is toxic? Who dares guarantee this thing? It's just a matter of different probabilities.

From arriving in this world until now, has he encountered few dangers? Is the probability of an airplane engine failing mid-air small or not? Yet he still ran into it—but didn't he eventually land safely? Whether luck or coincidence, after going through several nail-biting incidents, Liu Xiaotian's nerves have become thick.

He even pondered finding an opportunity to meet the captured Xiezi again, perhaps gaining some important clues from him.

But being able to see Xiezi is also what Liu Xiaotian hopes for now, so he didn't ask further.

Next, he again singled out Liu Xiaotian from the formation, the reason still being that the Chief Instructor wanted to see him; this time Liu Xiaotian didn't ask a word, just followed Pi Te away.

Having said that, he stepped forward and led the way into the door.

But the fundamental reason is not that Liu Xiaotian's performance yesterday earned the Elder Principal's trust; it's simply because Xiezi was 'bent' in his hands, letting him appear before Xiezi to influence Xiezi's mood to some extent, aiding in breaking Xiezi's psychological defense.

This…… is it showing that he values himself?

Frankly, he who usually has confidence in his eloquence feels unable to interject when facing Pi Te.

Liu Xiaotian suddenly felt a bit dazed.

Just then, the mechanical system voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

At that moment, Liu Xiaotian really wanted to complain.

What is this? A Lucky Big Turntable? Isn't this just the scam they used to pull at township markets years ago?

Even if he won a bag of laundry detergent, he'd probably still have to fork out five bucks to buy it.

"Please begin the lottery..." the system voice sounded again.
