Chapter 158 When a person is killed, he dies

Protagonist Aura Function 3: No matter what kind of accidents, mistakes, or mistakes occur in the course of events, the final result will always be success.

The situation now is...... The definition of the so-called "success" in this refers to the success of this exam or the success of becoming a field savior, at least now, Yi Cheng has once again felt the process of the so-called "accident first".

"It's even more tortuous and bumpy than ninety-nine-eighty-one...... The key is that Tang Seng is still following the snappy girl around him, and I can only be dried here slowly......"

Although his stomach was full of resentment that was ignored by the Queen's Palace, it was clear to someone that at this time, the power of his resentment was completely useless, because in fact, he had already felt a resentment ten times more terrible than his own resentment, which was now haunting him as if it were nothing.

For this resentment that obviously doesn't need to be speculated to know where it comes from, Yi Cheng can only helplessly accept it all - who let him, the so-called "protagonist", be born with the fate of the black cauldron?

"Anyway, as long as it's not the standard configuration of the cooking class leader, it's easy to say......"

"Oh? If you have a hobby in this area, try to see if there are any bad friends around you who like to dye their hair yellow. ”

At some point, the queen of the white coat, who happened to come to Yi Cheng and heard him muttering quietly, first broke through his defenses with a careless blow from the minotaur, and then raised the deadly butcher's knife.

"You're the devil again this time, right?"

"You can't say that......"

Yi Cheng waved his hand again and again, saying that he didn't like it very much, whether it was yellow hair or black pot.

"There's such a thing as Murphy's Law, and everything at the moment is a coincidence at best."

"Oh? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking......"

After the Queen's Palace glanced meaningfully at Yi Cheng, who had a weak face, she pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose with the arch of her index finger.

"No matter how much an ability cannot be explained by a reasonable theory, at least its function is traceable in a sense."

"What do you say...... What do you mean? ”

Hearing this woman's words, Yi Cheng's heart chuckled inexplicably.

"That's what I mean...... You should know that in that room, there is actually a third set of SOM equipment as a 'backup', right? ”

"Uh......"

Well, if the queen didn't say it, Yi Cheng almost forgot that the Auron Consortium had shipped a total of three sets of equipment before, two of which were used for exams, and the third set of spare equipment had been used as a weight loss machine by Miss Long Tsundere a few days ago......

"Wait, you don't mean to say ......"

"I've asked someone to check it just now, because I don't know who is using it these days, so the equipment is running normally, and it can be used with a little debugging."

"That's ......"

Yi Cheng blinked his eyes and expressed his heartfelt congratulations on the situation against his will.

"So, can I start the exam on time?"

"Procedurally yes, but ......"

A subtle flash of worry flashed across her face, and the queen shook her head and uttered something that shocked Yi Cheng.

"As the person in charge of this exam, I feel that it is necessary to suspend this exam."

"Huh?!"

Yi Cheng, who didn't understand why the other party would come to such a conclusion, almost immediately raised an objection.

"Didn't you just say that there was no problem with the procedure......

"Oh, that's just procedurally...... And ......"

The queen glanced at Yi Cheng with a blank face.

"In fact, if I'm right, it's in your best interest to discontinue this exam."

"What do you mean by that?"

Yi Cheng was confused by this woman.

"Didn't I already say it just now, although neither I nor the Red Mentor have come up with a completely reasonable theory to explain and confirm your ability, but in fact, just by extrapolating from the results, at least now I can roughly judge the effect that your ability can produce and the subsequent effects......

"But what does this have to do with your conclusion that you 'suspended the exam'? ”

"Time is limited, omit the process of inference, you just need to know that in my inference, if you continue with the exam, then there is a good chance that you will die."

Speaking of this, the queen paused slightly, and when she saw Yi Cheng's disapproving expression, she added.

"When I say death, I don't mean dying in the virtual world of the SOM system like the previous students, but dying in the real sense."

“…… Oh? ”

Unconsciously learned the tone of the woman in front of him, and when he heard this statement, Yi Cheng's first reaction was "This woman is alarmist again."

"Don't forget, my code name is 'Protagonist' - when did you ever hear that the protagonist would die?"

"In this world, there are many people who have the opportunity to become the protagonist, but in the end, there is only one person who can really succeed in every era."

Through the gold-rimmed glasses, the queen's majestic gaze met Yi Cheng's, and this time, what Yi Cheng saw from the inside was no pretense of seriousness.

"That'...... So what? ”

"Here's the problem...... Whether it succeeds or fails, the protagonist is still human in essence until he is the protagonist. ”

The Queen's gaze looked past Yi Cheng and into the long hallway behind him.

"When a man is killed, he dies."

“……”

Die...... Yes.

Frankly, at least before the queen said the word, Yi Cheng had already thought about "death" more than once.

Before he became a savior, he occasionally had an inexplicable fear of unknown death, and this fear was completely left behind after he became a savior, and after he learned of the existence of his "ability".

This is not because of the fearless spirit of lofty ideals, on the contrary, after becoming a savior, the chance of facing death is obviously many times more than that of being an ordinary person - far from it, just say that he almost died several times in the previous incident of Dr. Abalone, but whether it was at the time or afterwards, in addition to the occasional fear in his heart, Yi Cheng even faintly looked forward to the recurrence of this kind of event.

It can also be said that the reason why he is extremely determined to become a field officer, in addition to the idea of protecting the girls who want to protect and the world at the beginning, perhaps, the adventure factor in his bones is also one of the reasons.
