【mission failed】
Xu Cheng could no longer hear Sato Maki's scream. He still had four chances to come back. He didn't panic at all and directly selected Save ③ to restart.
Time goes back to when the test began.
Xu Cheng put his hand on the heart stone, closed his eyes, felt it with his heart, and followed the rhythm of the stone.
"Okay, I found Qi!"
Less than three minutes later, cheers from Sato Maki rang out right next to her.
This time, Xu Cheng ignored her and retracted his hand, his expression thoughtful.
After resonating with the heart stone three times in a row, he has gradually become familiar with the special breathing rhythm. Coupled with Qiu Gongyue's teachings, he has vaguely grasped the trick in his heart.
Sato Maki proudly showed off to him: "Oh, haven't you found Qi yet? Do you want me to teach you?"
Xu Cheng glanced at her, turned around, squeezed through the crowd, rushed towards the underground river, and jumped.
Sato Maki's eyes widened in shock: "Someone committed suicide again!"
【mission failed】
Xu Cheng chose to reopen it, returned to the heart stone, and pressed his hand on it.
When the three minutes were up, he immediately turned around and ran towards the underground river, and even started to become more proficient in jumping into the river.
Sato Maki looked at this scene and opened her mouth. For some reason, she suddenly felt tired and didn't want to shout.
the fourth time……
the fifth time……
After reopening for the fifth time, Xu Cheng stood in front of the stone and took a deep breath.
This is the first time since he started a mission that he has used up all the restarts in a row. If he still fails, he will have to use mission points to continue his life.
And I only accumulated three mission points. No wonder this is an ordinary level mission, much more difficult than the easy level mission.
Fortunately, he has found Qi.
Just breathe according to the rhythm of the heart stone, and you can feel a warm breath slightly below your belly button.
Xu Cheng pressed his hand on the stone and then pulled it out. The killer next to him who was in charge of timing asked doubtfully: "Is there a problem?"
Xu Cheng shook his head: "No problem, I have found Qi."
The killer's eyes widened: "Found it?"
Did you touch the heart stone for even a second? You can't even fart that fast.
Sato Maki, who had just put her hand on the heart stone next to her, also looked at him with wide eyes, with shock on her face: "How could you be so fast?"
"Without him, you are familiar with it."
Xu Chengfeng was calm and indifferent, as if he was not worth mentioning. He said to Sato Maki: "Oh, haven't you found Qi yet? Do you want me to teach you?"
Sato Maki couldn't stand his pretentiousness and said angrily: "No need, go away and don't interfere with me."
"Come on, I'll show you the good ones and teach you how to be a good man."
"No, just go away."
"It's not right for you to be like this, you have to be like this."
"Help!"
The news that a newbie found Qi took less than a second and spread throughout the entire platform in an instant, making the originally quiet cave suddenly noisy.
The killers who were also newcomers were talking about each other, and they all looked at the center with envy and jealousy, wanting to see which B was so powerful.
Even Arakawa Buntai, who was standing on the stone platform posing, was alarmed and came down to meet Xu Cheng.
"Oh my, I didn't expect your competitor to be a genius."
Hoshizaki Yukina looked at Xu Cheng in the crowd, her eyes sparkling with interest. She turned to Shinji Tsugumo and said, "He broke your record. Are you angry?"
After Shinji Tsugumo returned from completing the A-level mission, he conducted the heart stone test for the first time and found Qi in less than five seconds. He was hailed as a genius that the branch had never seen since its establishment.
I thought that this record was unprecedented, but I didn't expect that it would be broken after only a few years.
Jinyun Shinji smiled faintly: "I never think that I am a genius. It is normal for others to surpass me. The more geniuses there are, the stronger the deceased will be. How can I be angry?"
What is a pattern? This is called a pattern. In order to give the deceased strength, even his love rival is willing to tolerate him.
The assassins nearby cast admiring glances at him.
But the sharp-eyed Hoshizaki Yukina noticed that when Tsugumo Shinji said these words, the hand on his side was clenched into a fist.
Is he really not angry?
After a few words of encouragement from Arakawa Buntai, Xu Cheng came out of the crowd.
Akimiya Yue had already walked up to him, and was very surprised that he could break Tsugumo Shinji's record: "Did you find any shortcut?"
Xu Cheng shook his head and denied: "No, my success is all due to my own efforts."
It is true that I am working hard, but it just takes a little more time than others.
The assessment of the star-less killers ended quickly. Only about one-third of the killers who successfully felt Qi were left. The rest were devastated and could only wait until next year to come back.
Xu Cheng said goodbye to Akimiya Yue for a while, and then, together with other killers who passed the test, were taken to a spacious auditorium by Arakawa Buntai.
The decoration of the auditorium is a bit like a Christian church. The place where the statue of Jesus should be was replaced by a statue of a goddess wearing a black robe and crossing her hands on her chest.
Arakawa Buntai bowed respectfully to the statue of the goddess. Most of the cute killers below followed suit, and a small number of them quickly followed suit.
When Xu Cheng bent over, he heard whispers nearby - this mysterious goddess statue is the shadow goddess who gives the dead faith.
Arakawa Buntai straightened up and looked back at the killers.
"You are now one-star killers. The difficulty of future tasks will increase. You must be mentally prepared in advance. You can give yourself a code name now. In the future, you can only use this code name whether inside or outside the organization. Call each other by code names.”
After a few words of encouragement, Arakawa Buntai turned around and left, leaving a few staff behind to help these new killers get nicknames, and at the same time handed them the first layer of breathing techniques.
Xu Cheng was soon placed in line. The staff knew that this was a genius who had broken records, so they were much more polite towards him.
After handing him a thin booklet recording breathing techniques, he asked: "What code name are you going to give yourself?"
Xu Cheng said the codename he had thought up on the spur of the moment: "My codename is Lao Ba."
"This already exists."
"Then change to Lao Liu."
"Sorry, I have this one too."
"You don't have the second child, do you?"
"It's already there. No need to waste time on numbers. Someone has already taken it."
Xu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Then my code name is '***'."
The staff member could not hold back her smile: "Please change it."
"A Tao."
"Change another one, don't use H."
Are you a killer organization? Why are you still talking about civilization and morality?
After finally racking his brains, Xu Cheng managed to give himself a nickname and left the auditorium with a booklet recording breathing techniques.
As he walked, he flipped through the booklet in his hand. It was only a few pages thin and recorded the method of practicing Qi using a special breathing rhythm.
When Xu Cheng finished reading, the manager's beep suddenly sounded.
[Skill acquired: Breathing method lv1]
Before he could open the properties to check, there was a shout from behind him.
When I looked back, I saw it was Sato Maki.
Sato Maki crossed her arms and asked politely: "What is your name?"
Xu Cheng was very surprised: "I didn't scream."
Sato Maki said speechlessly: "I'm asking you what your code name is."
Xu Cheng opened his mouth and suddenly said: "What did you call your father?"
Sato Maki didn't react and said subconsciously: "Dad?"
"Oh, this is my code name, don't forget it next time."
"..."
After Xu Cheng finished speaking, he ran away. Sato Maki froze on the spot and soon turned red in the face. She screamed and chased after him: "Stop, I'm going to kill you!!"
