Chapter 11: Methods for Completing Special Trial II
"Ah, no, as expected, I still have to find a way to kill Tao Baibai."
Bai Cangshu rose from the hardwood bed; he had indeed spent about ten seconds thinking based on the principle of "respecting the teacher and valuing the Dao," but in the end, he still could not convince himself.
Logically speaking, since this Infinite Space would issue the mission 【Prevent Team 64323 from killing Tao Baibai】 to him, it meant that in the judgment of this Infinite Space, Tao Baibai could potentially be killed by Team 64323.
Bai Cangshu did not doubt the fact that there were people in the Infinite Space capable of killing Tao Baibai; after all, no matter what, while Tao Baibai was powerful, he had not reached the level of those truly unkillable Monsters.
If this Infinite Space were truly like those Infinite-genre novels, capable of allowing Reincarnators to possess abilities from various worldviews, then a group of powerful Reincarnators working together would naturally have many means to kill Tao Baibai.
Furthermore, for him, these Reincarnators were far more dangerous.
Each of them likely possessed terrifying abilities he was unaware of.
After all, no one could be sure if the opponent might open their eyes to reveal a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, or if they might lower their heads and start writing names in a 【Death Note】.
There were too many such unknown methods, and with his current strength, he was completely unable to resist.
Therefore, if one wanted to complete the mission 【Prevent Team 64323 from killing Tao Baibai】, there were only two possibilities from the very beginning.
One was to save Tao Baibai.
Whether by finding a way to boost Reputation and trust with Tao Baibai, allowing Tao Baibai to believe his Intelligence and thus prepare in advance to resist;
Or by seeking the help of Heshanren and his disciples, who were currently somewhere unknown;
It would be best to do both: have Tao Baibai intentionally face the enemy head-on, then use his mobility to draw the enemy team members away, while Heshanren, Tien Shinhan, and others assisted him in a secret ambush.
This would explain why there was also a Side Mission to 【Cause Team 64323 to lose at least 1 member】.
It was very clear that this was a hint given by the Space, the orthodox path to completing this mission.
But unfortunately, Bai Cangshu could feel that Tao Baibai was not satisfied with him; his speed in killing the other candidates was still too slow.
To take this path, one would likely have to clarify the truth of Tao Baibai's trial right at the start on the mountain after Tao Baibai left, thereby triggering an eight-person chaotic battle.
Then, by becoming the final victor, one could gain Tao Baibai's recognition that very day and complete the first trial mission.
In this way, the trial-taker would have nearly 7 days to use for maxing out Tao Baibai's Reputation; if Bai Cangshu guessed correctly, the assassination missions in those eight envelopes.
Were prepared for this moment: after becoming Tao Baibai's disciple, complete those hired missions for Tao Baibai, truly killing every target, and thereby gain Tao Baibai's trust.
Sitting on the wooden bed, Bai Cangshu thought to this point, his lips curling up; the cruelty of this 【Infinite Dimension Adventure】 space was even more prominent than he had imagined.
Who could have thought that a trial mission, at the very initial stage after being triggered, had already determined the subsequent direction.
Most newcomers were probably still in a state of panic at that time, and thus blankly missed the best opportunity.
Heh, even a non-ordinary human like Bai Cangshu, who thought highly of himself, had also missed the opportunity because of his desire to observe.
Of course, Bai Cangshu himself did not realize the "special" nature of this Special Trial at this moment.
The reason Bai Cangshu did not think he was crazy was because he felt he was very rational.
So-called rationality meant being able to weigh gains and losses without being swayed by emotions.
He only spent ten seconds before discarding this plan he could no longer successfully execute.
He turned to think about the second method to 【Prevent Team 64323 from killing Tao Baibai】.
Besides saving Tao Baibai, there was another method, which was—killing Tao Baibai in advance!
Bai Cangshu carefully confirmed the mission description; the mission requirement was to "prevent" "Team 64323" from killing Tao Baibai.
The core of the mission was actually to stop the actions of this Reincarnator team, not the life or death of Tao Baibai.
In other words, as long as Tao Baibai was not killed by this Reincarnator team, he would be considered to have completed Special Trial II. Bai Cangshu very naturally began to think about how he could kill Tao Baibai.
As mentioned earlier, when Tao Baibai's Qi was sufficient, he was an out-and-out extraordinary Martial Artist.
He was almost impossible for an ordinary person to kill in a head-on battle.
Judging by his mobility of over 2000 kilometers in four minutes of "Pillar Flight," it was likely that even the superpowers in the real world would find it difficult to easily lock onto him for a precision strike.
Although Bai Cangshu had always been feared by those around him, both his physical fitness and psychological quality were far superior to his peers.
But Bai Cangshu was still within the scope of an ordinary person.
He looked at the silver-white revolver 【Doom Knocking】 in his hand, then shook his head.
No, the power of this type of firearm was far inferior to a sniper rifle and could not pose a threat to Tao Baibai.
He looked again at the belongings of those he had killed in the room—twin blades, a double-barreled shotgun—these weapons could not be taken out of the space, and thus could not be placed in the Backpack; finally, his gaze rested on those two daggers shimmering with a verdant green.
Poisoning...
Bai Cangshu felt it was still not comprehensive enough.
!
【Time remaining until Team 64323 enters the world: 21 hours 07 minutes】
Time was not abundant, which also cut off the possibility of Bai Cangshu finding the members of the Turtle Hermit School to stir up conflict between the two sides and thus reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Searching for the Dragon Balls to make a Wish was even more of a pipe dream; if one could really find the Dragon Balls in a short time, then the Space would not have set up this so-called trial mission.
What the Dragon Balls of this world could achieve had long since surpassed the scope of killing Tao Baibai.
Bai Cangshu looked at the moon outside the window and suddenly made a decision.
He instantly leaped from the bed, his figure agile; after picking up the pair of poisoned daggers, he used the phone in the hotel and pressed the callback button.
Then, under the cover of the night and the curtain of rain, he quickly descended the mountain from the mountain path.
Bai Cangshu's speed was extremely fast; in less than a quarter of an hour, he had arrived at the small town from the mountain again.
His right index and middle fingers were still bandaged, but his expression had returned to that natural, smiling demeanor.
Bai Cangshu liked to smile because he realized that "smiling" was actually the most convenient expression.
It would not allow one's true emotions to be seen through, and it had a natural camouflage effect that no one could find fault with.
His Footwork was neither hurried nor slow; every step he took, the distance was exactly the same. This was the result of him imitating Tao Baibai's gait; he seemed to possess this powerful muscle control naturally.
Tang Baduan stood in the backlight shadow of the hotel, looking at Bai Cangshu, who was walking with steady steps and wearing that terrifying smile, his expression cold.
His breathing was rapid, and his heart was beating violently without stop.
"You must be truly crazy to say such suicidal things!"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Lord Tao Baibai directly that you want to kill him?!"
Seeing Tang Baduan appear, Bai Cangshu felt a sense of confidence in his heart.
He walked step by step toward Tang Baduan until the two were almost touching, yet he did not stop; Tang Baduan stumbled back two steps, his momentum already falling into a disadvantage.
The smile at the corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth became more pronounced.
"Tao Baibai is suspicious without cause; if you say such things, it will only make him suspect you as well."
"What's more, since Lord Tang Baduan is willing to see me, naturally in your heart... you also want to kill Lord Tao Baibai, don't you."
