Chapter 1195: Why Do You Call Him Uncle?
Ning Shu hammered her weak legs as she asked 2333, “What exactly is going on?”
“It’s just what you saw, the other three were also task-takers, but they’ve already been killed,” said 2333.
What was the probability of having four task-takers in the same room?
Furthermore, she hadn’t noticed at all that they were task-takers. She probably hadn’t noticed because she hadn’t really interacted with them much.
“Why were they wiped out? Why did the uncle wipe them out?” Ning Shu was very confused.
2333 asked, “Why do you call him uncle?”
“That’s not the point. The point is what’s going on now? Am I going to be wiped out as well?” Ning Shu wiped at the cold sweat covering her forehead.
“Those task-takers are probably advanced task-takers. This was an examination task for intermediate task-takers. They shouldn’t have come to an intermediate examination task to cause trouble,” said 2333. “I can’t think of any other reason.”
Ning Shu smacked her lips. “Advanced task-takers can be killed just like this?” It wasn’t easy to become an advanced task-taker. She was still just an intermediate task-taker and it already felt very hard.
They say that they lacked task-takers, but they didn’t hesitate at all to eliminate them.
“They’re just some advanced task-takers. They’ve violated the rules that the higher ups have set and they don’t possess the ability to get free from the system. If you mess around like this, you’re just asking to die. Advanced task-takers are also just ants. They’re simply ants that are slightly bigger and stronger.” 2333’s voice was cold.
Ning Shu’s heart chilled. “Why did advanced task-takers come to an intermediate examination task?”
“There was definitely a benefit. You’ll find out about the benefit in the future. This benefit had been big enough to make these advanced task-takers enter this examination task despite the risk of being eliminated.”
“So if he didn’t wipe them out, who would he wipe out?” said 2333, sounding unconcerned.
Ning Shu became even more speechless. She felt like she had completely gotten implicated even though she had nothing to do with it.
However, she had witnessed as three advanced task-takers died right in front of her. Her heart was trembling, it was like her heart was being soaked in ice water.
Why was the world so dangerous? Doing tasks was very dangerous, and there were even powerful people who might smite her with a single attack.
The men of today were sadly degenerated, the ways of the world were sure hard.
Ning Shu stayed in the kitchen the entire time. She didn’t dare to go back. After all, she didn’t know if the school doctor uncle would end up killing her after all due to his OCD and she didn’t dare to take the risk.
She was an honest to god intermediate task-taker. She couldn’t allow herself to be killed by mistake by the uncle.
Every time she advanced a step, she would find that there were even more powerful people above. Her heart felt exhausted.
The school doctor uncle was able to kill task-takers. This showed that he had very high status, so how come she encountered him in a low-level plane in the past?
Ning Shu: I’m too scared to go back.
Ning Shu felt a little hungry so she found some cakes that had gone cold in the kitchen. After eating two pieces, she was choked to the point that she was hiccuping so she stopped eating.
She didn’t know how long she had been in the kitchen. She planned to go back soon and check if the uncle was gone. There was no way she could hang out with him.
Ning Shu carefully peeked into the room from the window. The school doctor uncle who was supposed to be sitting on the bed was now gone. The people who had been killed earlier were now alive again as well and currently walking around in the room.
