Chapter 94: Observation (1)

Translator: 549690339historical

Realizing Mr. Zhou’s intention and the pressing time, song qingxiao lost all her sleepiness.

She didn’t know if there were any hidden cameras in the room. She closed her eyes and slowly released her mental power.

There were a total of seven people in this trial, including her. Other than the young man who had fought with number six, song qingxiao knew nothing about the other people’s strength.

Before entering the trial space, she had fought with mental ability users before, and knew that mental ability users would be quite sensitive to the fluctuations of the outside world’s divine sense and mental energy. Thus, she controlled her mental energy to not exceed the range of the room, so as to avoid being sensed by others and raising their vigilance.

Based on Mr. Zhou’s intention to silence them, it was likely that the trial-takers formed a team to complete the mission.

However, song qingxiao thought of the mission notification in her mind. Other than the mysterious pattern of the seal that looked like a magic array, there was also a mission notification about the points reward.

Mission? [ completion: 2000 points ]

The two’??’. This proved that there were still uncertainties in this trial mission.

Mr. Zhou’s plan did not mean that it was the only choice.

From the situation of the last trial, it could be seen that the trial’s camp might change due to a person’s sudden actions. Before the mission was triggered, nothing could be decided early.

Besides, after she entered the trial space, she had already formed a grudge with number six. Both of them had the intention to kill each other. Without a miracle and a clear mission prompt, song qingxiao was not going to tell the other participants what she knew.

She released her mental power from her divine sense. Under the perception of her mental power, she could clearly ‘check’ every corner of the room into her consciousness.

The old air conditioner outlet, the mottled ceiling above her, the dead end under the bed, the open bathroom door-all the corners could not escape her perception.

There was no camera in the room, only a disconnected communication signal line. The room was kept as old as possible. Other than the lock at the door and the air conditioner in the room, there was almost nothing related to modern intelligence.

Perhaps when Mr. Zhou hired these people, he had found out their insignificant identities. Other than keeping his purpose of this trip a secret, he had no intention of arranging additional people to monitor this group of people.

Song qingxiao heaved a sigh of relief when she reached this point.

Having or not having a signal was not a serious problem for the trial-takers participating in the mission. After knowing that no one was watching her in the room, she did not hide herself anymore. Instead, she turned over and sat up. Her hands formed a seal and she began to practice the ‘confrontation’ character.

The revelry on the deck lasted for a long time, and the sound could be heard faintly in the room. After song qingxiao’s mental energy was exhausted, she fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because she was exhausted, but she slept very deeply. She didn’t even know when the cheers and laughter outside had stopped. When she woke up in the morning, she had recovered 50 to 60 percent of her mental strength.

Song qingxiao also felt that the more she used up her psyche, the purer the psyche she accumulated.

After washing up, she pushed the door open and came out. The salty and wet sea breeze blew in her face, and the sound of the ship’s engine and the sound of the waves breaking became louder.

The deck was quite deserted. The people who had a party last night had not woken up yet. When song qingxiao came out, she only saw a few crew members coming out occasionally, but they returned to the cabin after taking a look at her.

She stretched her body and stood on the side of the ship, looking at the sea.

The ship moved forward and broke a layer of waves on the sea. As her body was strengthened, her eyesight improved and she could easily see the fish in the sea.

Song qingxiao was entranced, but he noticed that someone was sizing him up.

She had already observed the room, and most of the people were still asleep.

She didn’t hear the sound of a door opening on the first floor, but the gaze had been on her the whole time. She didn’t rush to look back. Instead, after a while, she pretended to inadvertently stretch her back. When she turned around, she saw Shirley, who had talked to her last night, leaning against the railing of the ship and looking at her.

When their eyes met, Xue Li didn’t avoid them. Song qingxiao had guessed Mr. Zhou’s intentions through her last night, and she didn’t want to alert the enemy.

She raised her arm and greeted Shirley with a happy expression. There was no fear or worry on her face, and it didn’t seem like she was affected by something.

Song qingxiao seemed to be in good spirits. It seemed that she had a deep sleep last night. After Shirley noticed this, she ignored song qingxiao’s wave and turned her head back.

The breakfast on the ship was ready. Song qingxiao heard the sound of a door opening on the first floor. She turned around and saw the door on the left open. The older woman among the cultivators stepped out. She was stunned when she saw song qingxiao, but she quickly regained her expressionless face.

After the woman opened the door, the crew-cut man also came out quickly. The cultivators appeared one after another and lined up to get their food, but they did not make a sound.

For the whole day, song qingxiao felt that Xue Li’s eyes were following her. Whether she was eating or watching the sea on the deck, Xue Li seemed to be secretly observing her reaction.

This situation further confirmed song qingxiao’s suspicions about the island. Xue Li’s actions were nothing more than the fact that she had felt uneasy after song qingxiao had revealed the news. She wanted to see if she had guessed something she shouldn’t have known from her own attitude.

However, song qingxiao’s calm reaction seemed to have dispelled Shirley’s worries. Other than chatting with Shirley the day before, she didn’t interact with anyone else. She didn’t look anxious either. She ate and slept calmly. After the next day, the gaze that had been watching her disappeared.

There were only two days left before they would reach the island.

In the afternoon, Mr. Zhou came out once and ordered the ship’s chef to make a big meal to reward the people accompanying him.

In the cheers of the crowd, song qingxiao noticed the joy in Mr. Zhou’s eyes. The ship should be closer to the island.

For the past two days, song qingxiao had been standing by the side of the boat and observing. By evening, she found that there were very few fish in the sea, and her heart sank.

On the third day, it was almost time for them to go to the island. Song qingxiao ate her lunch as usual and went to the side of the ship. She didn’t go back to her room to rest at noon. Instead, she asked for some bait from the crew and was ready to go fishing.

After she threw the bait into the water, the fishing line left a small trace on the surface of the water as the boat sailed.

She didn’t seem to be an expert in putting on bait and casting the line. After a long time, the line didn’t move. She wound the line up, and the bait on the hook was probably washed away by the current during the rapid sailing of the boat. She patiently took another bait and put it on.

After several attempts, he still found nothing.

In the distance, number seven and the others had been observing her actions. Compared to the silence of the others, song qingxiao’s actions were undoubtedly very eye-catching. A few hours later, number seven finally couldn’t help but lean over.

“What’s the point of fishing like this?”
