Absolute Choice 7 Read online

  Shi Xiaobai had no time to care about him. He carefully looked at every rookie and their expressions.

  Without a doubt, all of their expressions were terrible. Whoever got hit by these 'toxic gases' probably would not be having a good mood.

  However, all of them looked in the pink of health. The light in their eyes did not lessen at all. No one looked sick or poisoned. There was definitely no signs of someone dying.

  Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai saw someone's back. It was a girl standing at the peripheral. The girl had her back bent, with one hand on a tree. Her back was facing the crowd, as though she was suffering some form of pain.

  "It's her!"

  Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up. He rushed towards the girl at an exceedingly fast speed.

  This girl could have been inflicted with some form of disease and would suddenly die silently.

  Shi Xiaobai was feeling anxious as he held the girl's shoulder and shouted, "Bear with it!"

  The girl was startled as she looked up to realize it was Shi Xiaobai. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief, but at the moment she relaxed, the girl's expression changed drastically. Covering her mouth with her hands, her pale expression turned even paler as her shoulders trembled.

  "I can't...hold it in!"

  The girl screamed and hurriedly flung Shi Xiaobai's arms away and ran to the back of the tree. She leaned down and began...

  "Eugh!"

  The girl began vomiting. Shi Xiaobai watched nervously but he did not see the blood he had imagined. It was only the usual vomit.

  After vomiting a few times, the girl quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her dirty mouth. When she turned to see everyone looking at her after hearing her, her face immediately blushed.

  Shi Xiaobai asked with concern, "Are you alright? Are you sick?"

  The girl shook her head and shyly said, "No, I'm only...it was so smelly that I could not help but throw up."

  Shi Xiaobai was appalled. It was the fault of that smelly fart again?

  However, Shi Xiaobai gave the girl a few serious glances and noticed that although her expression looked terrible, she was not weak. She simply wanted to throw up.

  "It's not her!"

  Shi Xiaobai realized this point.

  "Time is almost up!"

  For some reason, Shi Xiaobai was very sensitive when it came to time. It was as though there was a clock in his heart that allowed him to accurately keep track of time. In another ten seconds or so, the moment of the Absolute Choice's failure would happen.

  Shi Xiaobai quickly turned his head to look at the rookies. At this moment, the rookies were looking curiously at him.

  "Shi Xiaobai, you seem...a bit strange?"

  "Lord Shi Xiaobai, did something happen?"

  "Why did you urge us to leave the valley so quickly? Did you discover something dangerous?"

  "I'm more eager to know why we can't fart. Please explain..."

  "..."

  The rookies clearly had a multitude of questions on their minds which they inundated him with the moment the first question was asked. The scene immediately turned noisy.

  Shi Xiaobai had no time to explain. He could only treat it with silence as he swept his gaze across every rookie.

  Shi Xiaobai confirmed three times once again that there were forty-eight rookies here including him.

  Due to the flurry of discussion, it was conducive for Shi Xiaobai's observations. All of them appeared energetic. Although a number of quiet rookies did not speak, they appeared very healthy.

  Shi Xiaobai turned his head to look at the girl beside him. After vomiting, the girl felt much better. Her face was becoming ruddy again, but her cheeks had turned as red as an apple because of the embarrassment, but she did not have any signs of dying the next moment.

  Shi Xiaobai scanned everyone.

  There was no one among the forty-eight people that had any signs of dying. They were filled with vitality, more vibrant than a forest.

  "Three."

  There were three seconds left before the moment the Absolute Choice failed. Shi Xiaobai turned slightly nervous as he carefully studied the expressions of everyone, afraid that he would miss the slightest of details.

  "Two."

  A final confirmation, there was only forty-eight people including him at the present location. There was no one missing!

  "One."

  Time was up.

  Shi Xiaobai's heart raced slightly.

  Could it be that by leaving earlier, he had inadvertently changed the outcome from before. A rookie that would somehow die had suddenly survived?

  "Make your choice, youth!"

  The fiery voice resounded in his brain

  as though it was telling Shi Xiaobai—

  No, there was no accident.

  ...

  ...

  "Make your choice, youth!"

  This was the sixth time he was facing the choice.

  Although he had failed the first three times, he was able to obtain some information through each failure, allowing his actions to progress with each successive round.

  However, after failing a fourth and fifth time, Shi Xiaobai was somewhat dumbfounded..

  He had not only failed to obtain any information in the past two failures, the situation seemed to be at a dead end.

  There were a total of forty-eight people in the valley.

  There were still forty-eight people outside the valley after they left.

  At the final second, the forty-eight people, including him, all appeared extremely healthy. There was not the slightest hint of an impending death.

  If it were anyone else, they might have believed that they had missed something, but Shi Xiaobai was very confident of his observational skills. While he was observing every rookie's expression, he had simultaneously determined the count. He had even remembered every rookie's appearance.

  Shi Xiaobai was a hundred percent certain that he did not miss a person.

  Therefore, that person was still healthy at the final second. Even if the healthiness was just an illusion, it was impossible to suddenly die in a fraction of a second, right?

  Yet, the situation which was currently—no one dying, no one being eliminated—resulted in the failure of the choice, [ Save all rookies ]!

  What was going on with this contradictory situation that did not seem to have a solution?

  "There is no such thing as a lack of a solution."

  With this in mind, Shi Xiaobai’s slightly perplexed gaze turned resolute.

  He must have missed something.

  What did he miss?

  Shi Xiaobai was lost in thought. Ideas churned through his mind extremely quickly, with all sorts of possibilities flashing in his mind. Even if it was an extremely unlikely possibility, he was considering it carefully.

  But it appeared as though there was no 'possibility' that could perfectly explain the present situation. Each and every 'possibility' was rejected by Shi Xiaobai, as though he would never find the answer.

  There was no 'possibility' that could result in the present situation.

  Then, what else could it be?

  Shi Xiaobai did not give up as he dismissed all his existing ideas.

  Since no 'possibility' could crack the situation.

  Why shouldn't he think about those 'impossibilities'?

  "Could it be..."

  Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a long while before his eyes suddenly lit up. He thought of a seemingly impossible possibility.

  Chapter313 Murder induced by a pool of pee

  "Everyone, leave the valley as fast as possible!"

  Shi Xiaobai said to everyone in the mountain valley.

  This was the sixth time he was facing the same scene. He fell somewhat in a trance momentarily, but he snapped out of it very quickly.

  Shi Xiaobai repeated the words he had said before, while the r
ookies reacted in the same manner by heading towards the valley in droves.

  Shi Xiaobai turned his head and whispered to Ka Xiaozi, who was beside him, "This King needs to go first. There's someone outside the valley that needs saving. Can you wait for This King outside the valley?"

  Shi Xiaobai had promised to protect Ka Xiaozi and to never be more than three meters away from her.

  He had to leave the valley as fast as possible, and if he brought Ka Xiaozi along with him, the monsters might no longer feel any dread. Who knew what they could do.

  Although there was no way to determine which of the two of them was what made the monsters feel dread, it was the moment when he needed to make a bet.

  "Alright."

  Ka Xiaozi was very understanding as she agreed without any hesitation.

  The reason why she wanted to stay beside Shi Xiaobai was because 'I'm very weak'. It sounded like she was requesting a safety umbrella, but in fact, it was just an excuse.

  She did not need Shi Xiaobai's protection. She just needed to be beside Shi Xiaobai when he was not in trouble.

  Shi Xiaobai gave Ka Xiaozi a grateful look and did not speak any further. Turning around, he used Crab Steps to rush forward at an extremely fast speed.

  While passing by the rookie who was about to release his 'toxic gases', Shi Xiaobai stretched out his hand and held his shoulder and pinched it a few times.

  Shi Xiaobai did not repeat the important matter thrice this time because he realized that it was superfluous. Farting required 'courage'. Other than this rookie who could not resist any further, the others had great discipline.

  Therefore, Shi Xiaobai chose to use the 'Massage Technique of God' to suppress this youth's biological embarrassment.

  Following that, even if the youth wanted to fart, he would not be able to do so. He would have to bear with it for a period of time.

  Of course, this feeling wasn't very pleasant. It was similar to constipation, but Shi Xiaobai believed that the youth would agree to dedicate himself for the greater good by accomplishing such a momentous feat of sacrificing his own 'happiness' to prevent the 'disaster' on everyone else.

  Well, for his opinion, let's not ask about it. Let's pretend he agreed to it.

  However, the fart was truly wretched. Shi Xiaobai could not imagine what sort of noxious gas it would turn into after it festered for a period of time.

  He only wished that the youth would be able to find a toilet when the time came, so as to not pollute the environment.

  Shi Xiaobai overtook everyone very quickly. He reminded them once again to leave the mountain valley as soon as possible and gather outside the valley to wait, before rushing out of the valley.

  When the rookies saw Shi Xiaobai rushing out of the valley, they did not dare delay any further and immediately sped up.

  When Shi Xiaobai ran out of the valley, he ran straight into the forest.

  None of the forty-eight rookies had died, yet the choice [ Save all rookies ] had failed.

  What was the contradiction in this matter?

  Shi Xiaobai had first thought of two possibilities.

  Firstly, there were forty-nine rookies who entered the mountain valley at the beginning. Before the choice appeared, a rookie had been silently devoured by a monster without anyone noticing, eventually dying after a period of time.

  Secondly, there was a rookie who had managed to enter the valley before he shattered the diamond monster before being devoured by a monster. Therefore, what seemed like forty-eight rookies in the valley was actually supposed to be forty-nine.

  However, the two possibilities were very quickly put aside by Shi Xiaobai temporarily.

  This was because from the attacks from before, the heads of the monsters were unlikely to be large. If not, they would not have simply bitten off heads or limbs in their attacks. There was a very low chance of devouring a rookie whole.

  Furthermore, if that truly was the case, how was he to save that rookie?

  Against these monsters he could not see, hear or sense, Shi Xiaobai could only use a wide area-of-effect sword attack mindlessly. There was no other way, much less find the monster among the sea of monsters that had devoured the rookie before carefully dissecting it to save the rookie.

  Therefore, Shi Xiaobai could only temporarily place these two possibilities aside.

  He later realized that all the 'possibilities' he came up with would not result in such a contradictory situation.

  Shi Xiaobai immediately looked at it from a different logical point of view.

  If there were no 'possibilities', then would an 'impossibility' perfectly explain the situation at hand?

  Therefore, Shi Xiaobai very quickly thought of an 'impossibility'.

  There was a rookie that had entered the valley with them, but due to a mental lapse, he had ran into the forest to run naked.

  If that youth that was running naked had died, everything could be explained.

  However, this possibility had been limited to an impossibility due to the words 'in Dragon Mountain Valley' in the choice [ Save all rookies in Dragon Mountain Valley ].

  However, everything impossible could very well be a 'possibility that seemed impossible'.

  Shi Xiaobai pondered over it repeatedly before betting on this 'impossibility' on his sixth attempt.

  ...

  Shi Xiaobai darted through the woods, unsure of where the exact location of the youth running naked was, so he could only run around blindly in the woods.

  It was unknown where the youth had gone, so Shi Xiaobai failed to find him instantly.

  Shi Xiaobai was keeping track of time in his heart. Seeing how the failure that had happened a few times was about to happen without him finding the rookie, Shi Xiaobai gradually became anxious.

  However, there was no other way than to search blindly in the forest.

  Finally, when there were only a few seconds remaining, Shi Xiaobai saw the youth in the distance after turning around a bend!

  The youth was stark naked, unafraid that his dick would freeze!

  However, this was not something that Shi Xiaobai had to worry about. He frowned because in the distance, he saw the youth leaning at a tree in fear, and in front of him stood the black-robed youth holding his crimson sickle!

  The black-robed youth's eyes were cold as the crimson sickle was held to the youth's neck, as though he was hesitant about severing the youth's neck or not.

  The youth was obviously horrified as he constantly mouthed something. From the shape of his mouth, it looked like 'Open Sesame', but not a sound was produced.

  The black-robed youth had used an unknown method to prevent the youth from using the exit command.

  Shi Xiaobai charged at the two silently. His accurate sense of time told him that the youth would die in two seconds. Therefore, there was no need for him to shout to stop the act from happening. The most pressing thing at the moment was to close the distance.

  At this moment, something astounding happened.

  Having not been able to use the exit command, the youth believed that death was at his doorstep. In his horror, he actually...peed himself from fright!

  In the face of death, it was common for a timid person to pee themselves, but typically, peeing themselves meant wetting their pants.

  However, at this moment, the youth was stark naked, there wasn't a pair of pants!

  A stream of yellow liquid spewed out from the naked adolescent penis, straight onto the black-robed youth's black robe!

  That scene was truly beautiful...

  Shi Xiaobai nearly burst out laughing.

  Being suddenly 'attacked' in such a manner, how could the black-robed youth tolerate such a humiliating act? The black-robed youth took a step back in alarm and dodged the attack of the urinary stream before blowing up into an indomitable rage!

  "Die!"

  The black-robed youth roared. Without any hesitation, he raised his sickle and slashed it at the youth's neck!

  The time match
ed the time of the previous Absolute Choice failures perfectly.

  Shi Xiaobai was immediately rendered extremely speechless. First, it was a smelly fart that induced massacre, now, a urinary stream had resulted in a murder. What the heck!?

  The black-robed youth raised his sickle high. Just as it was about to decapitate the youth, Shi Xiaobai arrived in front of him. With a clang, the black sword blocked the sickle.

  The black-robed youth was sent retreating. When he turned his head and saw Shi Xiaobai, the anger and killing intent in his eyes turned more intense. This black-haired youth that had previously reduced him to a pool of blood was the target he wanted to kill the most in the trials.

  When the youth saw Shi Xiaobai, he felt as though he had seen his father. Tears and snot was lathered across his entire face as he tried to approach Shi Xiaobai.

  "Don't come over, put on your clothes first."

  Shi Xiaobai quickly kept a distance from the naked youth.

  The youth also realized that his current state was somewhat odd, so with an embarrassed smile, he took a step back.

  However, the black-robed youth did not have any patience, he had brandished his sickle and slashed it at Shi Xiaobai!

  A sanguinary storm stirred towards Shi Xiaobai!

  As Shi Xiaobai looked at the black-robed youth, his gaze turned slightly cold.

  This black-robed youth had previously forced him to use One Second Shura and Excalibur. When he was unconscious, he had smashed all the rookies protecting him and had nearly killed him.

  It could be said that the impression this black-robed youth gave Shi Xiaobai was even worse than Sen Senyuan in the trials, especially his bloodlust and aura of darkness, something Shi Xiaobai hated especially.

  If he could kill this inhumane black-robed bloody figure, Shi Xiaobai would definitely not show mercy.

  At this moment, the opportunity had arrived.

  The black-robed youth was very strong, so strong that Pulp Farmer and company were helpless against him. He had even nearly killed the weakened him and Sunless.

  But in fact, the black-robed youth was extremely weak to Shi Xiaobai, much weaker than any rookie!

  This was because his right hand had been restored to normal at this moment in time!

  Shi Xiaobai kept the black sword and rushed towards the black-robed youth despite the sanguinary storm heading towards him!
