Chapter 79: Forming Alliances

The little boy caught the little girl with one hand, and then numerous fleshy tendrils sprouted from the halves of their bodies, quickly intertwining and fusing the two halves together.

It seemed that this time the trial would not be easy. I suspected that the difficulty or brutality of the test was directly related to the number of participants.

"The trial is about to begin. All those listed, please gather at the library." I estimated that even if they faced fully awakened contractors, they would be defenseless.

"That boy was watching us the whole time. I think it's because you know a lot of people, so he wants to form an alliance with you." Er Gou walked over and shot me a glare.

"Little darling." But with so many participants in this trial, there were bound to be contractors we had never encountered before mixed in among them.

"Lin Zijian. You’re here." The young boy let out a demonic hiss, but the direction I kicked was right at him.

The thing he was toying with in his hands could only be his favorite weapon. No one dared to linger near this top medical student and his companion—it would be suicide.

Er Gou walked over, glaring at me. Of course, this was only among the half-contractors. Fortunately, Lin Wan, Chen Hao, Han Xue, Carbon Head, and Sun Cheng were not on the participant list this time. The thought that they could continue to lead safe lives made me quite happy.

I replied tactfully, but the little boy seemed unfazed by my refusal and continued speaking.

These must have been two children forcibly fused together; from the size of their arms and legs, it was obvious that these were two different bodies.

Of course, only among the half-contractors. His body was turned slightly toward me, clad in tattered clothes that looked years old.

"Sun Xiaoxiao."

"I want to form an alliance with you." I felt that Zheng Wei was truly unhinged, making me wonder if all members of the Ghost Faction had some mental or personality disorder.

Of course, only among the half-contractors. Fortunately, Lin Wan, Chen Hao, Han Xue, Carbon Head, and Sun Cheng were not on the list this time, so they could continue enjoying their safe days, which put me at ease.

But the little girl didn’t seem to care. She fumbled on the ground, picked up her eyeball, and popped it back in.

Zheng Wei’s words made me nauseous. Thankfully, he walked away after speaking. I responded politely, but the little boy was undeterred by my rejection and kept talking.

"Yes. Brother, leave your eyes for me."

"Hello, my name is Midnight."

"Hello, my name is Midnight."

"Brother will kill him for you!" Er Gou came up again, glaring at me.

"Sister, he must have noticed us."

"I want to form an alliance with you." Zhou Zitong approached, extending a hand in goodwill, but I did not shake it.

Er Gou strolled over once more, glaring at me.

"Brother, kill him!"

"Don’t!" Zhang Yisheng, Lin Xiayue, Lin Zijian, Li Xinxin, Zhou Zitong, Zheng Wei, Midnight, Pang Dongqiang, Wu Mingran, Zhang Cancan, Li Linyun, Wang Ziwei, Sun Xiaoxiao, Jiang Sijia... The little girl grunted and cursed, while the boy in front of me slowly turned his body around.

Zhou Zitong awkwardly withdrew her hand, showing no sign of anger. Er Gou once again approached, glaring at me.

Suppressing the urge to kick this monstrosity away, I clenched my teeth and, trembling, spoke through gritted teeth. Er Gou came by yet again, glaring at me.

"Little sister, let go of your brother, will you?"

"I want to form an alliance with you." Midnight pointed at a woman behind him, who was speaking loudly, and called out.

Fifty-four ability users—each one possessed extraordinary powers. Unless it came to a life-or-death struggle, I truly didn’t want to make an enemy of any of them.

"Lin Zijian. You’re here." I replied absentmindedly, casually scanning the crowd around me.

It was a chilling sight. The faces of the boy and girl had fused into one, but it didn’t stop them from speaking independently.

"Brother will kill him for you!" Sharp nails pierced my calf. I stifled the pain and kicked the little girl away.

A boy in a black shirt and jeans walked over to me.
