Chapter 298 The Teachers' Worries
Even if I'm a lackey of the abyss, I'm still a human being!
This man in front of me, he just kicked me out of the human race?
Looking at the woman's eyes filled with a death-defying terror, and feeling the abyssal aura within her that could no longer be suppressed and began to spread wildly, Lin Qiye's last trace of doubt vanished.
I didn't kill the wrong person!
They are indeed lackeys of the abyss!
In fact, the moment he sensed those figures, he realized something was wrong.
However, the distance was too great, and the other party's aura was well concealed, so he could not be 100% certain.
Time was of the essence, leaving him no room for further hesitation.
He could only rely on his battle intuition, which had been honed through countless trials!
Let's get through this first!
As it turned out, his intuition was accurate, as always.
Looking back now, the whole thing is full of suspicious points.
Having ventured so far into enemy territory alone, how could a strange woman suddenly appear?
Even students from other schools wouldn't be able to appear in this position alone.
The only possibility is that it's a trap!
What if you accidentally poked the wrong spot?
Then she can only blame herself for showing up where she shouldn't have and doing things she shouldn't have done.
On the battlefield, any hesitation or mercy could cost you your life.
Lin Qiye stared expressionlessly at the woman in front of him who was constantly vomiting blood. He took out his walkie-talkie, switched to the teacher's channel, and said in a calm tone:
"Teacher Si Qingwan, I've discovered a henchman of the Abyss here. Be careful. If you encounter anyone you don't know, be extra vigilant and don't be fooled."
The other end of the walkie-talkie instantly erupted in chaos!
Si Qingwan's voice, and that of the other teachers, rang out one after another, filled with shock and solemnity.
There was a moment of silence on the walkie-talkie, then it exploded like a calm lake being hit by a boulder!
"What?! Abyss lackeys?! Kobayashi, are you sure?!"
"Lin Qiye, this matter is of great importance; you can't joke about it!"
"Send me the coordinates! Immediately!"
"Attention all squads! Increase vigilance! Keep communications open!"
"..."
The woman nailed to the rock, upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, was driven by her survival instinct to unleash her last strength.
Her eyes widened, she stared intently at Lin Qiye, and roared with all her might:
"I...I'm not! I...I'm a student from another school! You...you didn't even ask what happened...and then...you stabbed me so badly..."
Lin Qiye looked at her "death struggle" and simply shook his head calmly.
"Resist and you'll be punished severely," his voice was cold and devoid of any emotion. "If you don't tell the truth, even a peaceful death might become a luxury."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Qingwan's calm and decisive voice came through the walkie-talkie:
"Kobayashi, we'll be there soon!"
Looking into Lin Qiye's calm, unwavering eyes, the last glimmer of hope in the woman's heart vanished completely.
She knew that this man wouldn't fall for her charms at all!
Disguise, deception, feigning weakness... all these tactics are laughable in his eyes!
An intense surge of resentment and madness instantly welled up in her heart.
If we can't live together, then let's die together!
She gritted her teeth, a resolute glint of bloodlust flashing in her eyes. The power within her, belonging to the abyss, began to reverse and boil wildly in a self-destructive manner!
She's going to self-destruct!
However, just a moment before she detonated the abyssal power within her—
Lin Qiye's cold eyes swept over indifferently.
boom--!!!
That sixfold martial will, like divine punishment, descended once again without warning!
This time, it was no longer just a simple pressure, but transformed into an invisible hammer of judgment formed from pure will, striking the woman's collapsing mental world with precision and ferocity!
"Well……"
The woman's newly ignited madness and determination were extinguished instantly, like a flame doused with liquid nitrogen!
Her inner world, faced with this unparalleled torrent of will, was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper, and was instantly torn to pieces!
She didn't even have time to let out a scream!
The boiling abyssal power instantly went out of control, rampaging wildly within her body!
Blood gushed out of her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose like a flood bursting its banks!
Her consciousness was plunged into eternal darkness.
He was like a puppet with its strings cut; his head lolled to the side, and he completely lost consciousness.
Soon, three figures, like ghosts, shot out from the distant mist and appeared in the mountain hollow in an instant.
Leading the group was Si Qingwan, followed by the tall and stern-faced Li Sen, and another calm and composed female mentor, Liang Zhiyin.
The three teachers' gazes immediately fell on the woman who was pinned to the rock by a spear and was bleeding from all seven orifices.
They didn't ask immediately, but exchanged a serious look.
Si Qingwan stepped forward and stopped beside the woman, her delicate nose twitching slightly.
She nodded, her usually affectionate eyes now icy cold: "That's right, there is indeed the aura of the abyss..."
A hint of approval appeared on Li Sen's usually icy face.
He looked at Lin Qiye, his voice still cold, but with a hint of barely perceptible appreciation: "Lin Qiye, you did very well."
After speaking, his sharp gaze swept around, his brow furrowed slightly, and he asked with some surprise, "You're alone?"
Liang Zhiyin and Si Qingwan also frowned.
Lin Qiye calmly explained, "My two teammates are a bit slow. In order not to delay the overall progress, I told them to wait for the next team while I came over to clear it up first."
Upon hearing this explanation, Si Qingwan frowned even more deeply.
She walked up to Lin Qiye, and her usually affectionate peach blossom eyes were now filled with seriousness and lingering fear.
"Kobayashi, I know you're strong and confident in yourself."
"But this is the Abyss Rift! Not your school's training ground!"
"You've broken away from the group and ventured deep into enemy territory alone—that's a cardinal sin in warfare! Have you considered what if you've encountered a meticulously laid trap? What if there's more than one enemy? What if their strength far exceeds your expectations?"
"Do you know how worried we were when we heard the news about you?! You're the team leader for this joint exam, the leader of all the students! You're not only responsible for your own life, but also for the entire team!"
"This time, you were lucky to discover their tracks ahead of time, and their strength was far inferior to yours. But what about next time? And the time after that? Can you guarantee you'll always be this lucky?!"
Do you know how many brilliant minds and geniuses have died because of their own blind arrogance?
Si Qingwan looked at Lin Qiye's calm and composed face, took a deep breath, and spoke with increasing earnestness.
"You must remember," she said, staring intently into Lin Qiye's eyes, enunciating each word clearly, "fast and slow originate from the same source!"
"Wanting to be fast and pursuing ultimate efficiency is not wrong. But if you ignore the potential risks in your pursuit of speed, causing yourself to stumble and fall, or even..."
She paused, her voice taking on an unprecedented sternness.
"It could even plunge you into an abyss of no return, where you might never have another chance!"
"By then, what you call fast will become the most fatal kind of slowness!"
