Chapter 969: If I Win, You Have To Die
Shen Qianshu’s face stiffened. She did not expect that by asking herself, she would receive such a piece of information.
Yang Lihua was also slightly shocked. “Are you certain?”
“Of course I’m certain,” the young girl said calmly as she sat at a side. She was poised like a girl from a wealthy family. On this island, everyone was dressed in short-sleeved tops and shorts in this hot weather. She was very different. She wore a long-sleeved top and long pants. Her hair was let down as if she was not afraid of the heat.
Yang Lihua said, “Why was I not aware of this?”
“Why would you be aware?” Maxi questioned back.
Her voice was very cold.
“Miss Shen, you grew up in a peaceful era. Your hands have never been stained with a single drop of blood. Furthermore, you are Fang Hongxiu’s daughter. Letting you compete with 30 people is like putting a rabbit in a group of foxes. You will be eaten until your bones are not even left.”
Maxi said, “Over the years, the Black Rose’s selection has an unwritten rule. Everybody will work together and let the successor fall first. Thereafter, they will kill one another. Hence, you will be encircled by 30 people, including me!”
Shen Qianshu’s voice was about to change soon.
She was puzzled about the plot, which seemed like a movie.
“Including you?”
“Right, including me. I forgot to tell you that Monica and I have fought for a place.” Maxi smiled mysteriously. “Monica… is very fierce.”
Shen Qianshu said, “What is this? A written declaration of war to the enemy?”
Maxi said, “Just treat it as a written declaration of war to the enemy.”
“Aren’t you a nurse?”
Maxi said, “Who said so?”
She looked at Shen Qianshu and said coldly, “You have made an error of judgment.”
Yang Lihua was anxious. She had always known that the selection of the Black Rose was cruel. The Black Rose revealed a bit of news but did not reveal all the information. This made her very anxious. Shen Qianshu and 30 talented agents would be fighting for a place.
How was she going to fight for the place?
Maxi said, “I heard that the successor to the appointed gatekeeper will receive god’s blessing during the selection. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“I am a firm socialist atheist,” Shen Qianshu said.
Maxi said, “Yeah, me too.”
This young girl had a cold sense of humor. In these few days, except for Yang Lihua, Maxi was considered to be diligent. It was also Maxi who changed the dressing. There was nothing in the house except for a surveillance camera. Shen Qianshu’s heart was beating fiercely.
What exactly were her chances of escaping from the island?
Maxi said, “I advise you to give up on the idea. You will be shot to death before you even reach the seaside. If I were you, I would go for the selection and take a gamble. Maybe you can win.”
“If I win, you have to die.”
“Then that will depend on your abilities.” Maxi was exceptionally calm.
She held the tray and left.
Shen Qianshu looked at Yang Lihua. “Are you able to contact other people?”
“On this island, all cell phones cannot be used. Satellite encrypted signal cell phones cannot be used. There is only one monitoring room which can use signals. In other words, the signals can only enter, but they cannot exit. This call cannot be made.”
“There has to be a way to contact the outside world,” Shen Qianshu said.
Yang Lihua said, “There isn’t.”
Shen Qianshu said, “You don’t want me to leave, right?”
She had said exactly what was on Yang Lihua’s mind. She nodded her head and did not try to hide. “Right. Qianshu, if you win, you’ll become the puppet, and Tong Hua will also be safe. If your luck is good and you are smart enough to become the Black Rose, Tong Hua will also be safe. If you die during the selection, Tong Hua will also be safe. But if you go back, Tong Hua will not be safe.”
Shen Qianshu was startled. There was nothing wrong with these words.
