Volume 4: No One Survives in Fantasy High School Chapter 29 The Elegant Seven Begin to Search
Another person died, and this time he was crushed to death in a shameful way without any resistance.
Theoretically, if they were in good condition and fearless of life and death, they should be able to easily defeat the blood giant Duke without killing anyone. Because they had a complete team system, complementing each other, and had a full range of means to contain and output. However, now one person died in the first encounter, and Duke's hair was not even touched. The only output was Li Lin's golden arrow. This made the atmosphere of the team even more gloomy. Even became a little irritable and furious.
Because they realized that even in this situation, they did not have the courage to go back and kill Duke. Once they recalled the impression and seeds of separation that Li Lin had planted in their hearts, they had no way to muster up the courage to face the battlefields that they had once thought were completely insignificant.
Facing this gloomy look, Li Lin, who had transformed into a white knight, was wondering if he had gone too far. Although he had only expressed his own opinions, these people did not seem to have any fighting power at all.
“…”
They are just like a group of stray dogs.
Looking at these people with uncertain expressions, Li Lin thought helplessly in his heart.
His words were not directed at those stupid people who don't use their brains, but at those smart people who think too much. The more people think, the more details they observe, and the more details they observe, the more associations they will make. This will lead to many unnecessary judgments.
Smart people tend to be overconfident in their own intelligence and do not take other people's judgment into account. Therefore, apart from stupid people, most of the victims of fraud are elites in society. Because they rely too much on their own judgment, it is too easy to set traps for a person's logical loopholes, which often brings huge benefits.
If that barbarian hadn't died, he would only need a few words to dispel the haze in everyone's hearts, at least on the surface.
Humans are herd creatures, and as long as the barbarian hero fights, the others will surely not be much worse.
But the barbarian died.
Although the barbarian's death was considered just a game or entertainment at the time, death was already a fact.
As for the speech facing the facts, even though Li Lin himself had no idea what the justice camp meant, there was no big problem in letting these people fall into brief confusion and long periods of thinking.
The barbarian died, and the rest were a group of mages and smart people, with the captain being a warrior. But from the very beginning of the conversation, we knew that a leader who was completely unconvincing would not be able to boost morale. The remaining smart people would naturally think about the details of their past. When smart people think about problems, are they afraid of not being able to find details to prove themselves? Since there are doubts in their hearts, then they can already assume that it is the case. This is the idea of the "smart people".
So when facing Duke, some people will take the initiative to fight, while others will keep retreating. Because some people still insist on justice in their hearts, but others have already believed that what Li Lin said is true. If they die here, they will really die, and the meaning of their existence will disappear. Naturally, they will flee in panic.
The one who was just crushed to death, unfortunately, or by coincidence, was the most popular girl. Her death directly led to the collapse of the entire team. Although they were a team on the surface, they were already at odds with each other.
Everyone keeps a certain distance from others to ensure that they can protect themselves and others.
These righteous companions are probably used to staying in their own world and may not have experienced these things.
So here comes a question, why are these people the most powerful force in the world?
Is it true that there is no way to overcome chuunibyou?
Li Lin lowered his head and thought, but his thinking process was soon interrupted by a rude voice.
"Hey, you been here long, right?"
A young man who looked like a thief said gloomily:
"Say something. At least cheer us up. At least tell us some good news."
"Talk about something happy? Okay."
Looking at the rude thief boy, Li Lin smiled gently, lowered his head to think for a while, and then said:
"'Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'"
"……What's the meaning?"
Hearing Li Lin's words, the young thief was stunned at first, and then he growled angrily:
"A native like you, are you here to laugh at our dreams? You have fought alone here for who knows how many years, bypassing all the predecessors, and now you can laugh at us losers?! If it weren't for you, if it weren't for your words back then, how could we have become what we are now?!"
"See, this is fulfilled."
Li Lin shrugged.
"In this nightmare world, all we can do is unite. Being together is our greatest strength. If we lose this trust, we will be easily broken up like we were just now."
"So you mean to say that I'm the one who's not united? You mean to say that I'm the one who's not trustworthy?!"
"I never said that. On the contrary, I have always trusted you—"
"But I don't believe you!"
The thief boy spat and said bitterly:
"You're hiding in the jungle for no apparent reason, sighing for no apparent reason. Who the hell do you think you are?! If you hadn't been so secretive over there, they wouldn't have died!"
"Hey! You're going too far! It was Lord Li Lin who rescued us just now!"
"He saved you? If it weren't for him, no one would have died!"
"Really? And I am to blame for the barbarian's death?"
"...Okay, okay! I can't convince you, so I'll just go on my own! It's okay for me to go on my own, right?"
Looking at the classmates who seemed to be becoming more and more unfamiliar, the thief glared at them angrily, spat, and turned away.
But the moment the spit hit the ground, the thief was suddenly grabbed by the tree next to him, and then he was grabbed and smashed into the ground with a scream, and turned into a ball of meat in the blink of an eye. It was exactly where he spit.
"There are only seven left... Try to unite, everyone. No more internal strife."
Facing those smart people with gloomy faces, Li Lin turned around with a sincere smile on his face.
