11 chapter 11

Clap! Clap! Clap!

After Eric had completed saying these words, the following occurred:

Marsilio responded right away by clapping his hands and giving a hearty round of applause.

The sharp applause reverberated around the small, dark room and appeared to be even louder than before.

Eric appeared to be a little confused as a result of the unexpected applause. Surprise filled his eyes as he gazed at Marsilio.

"Eric! As was to be expected, I did not interpret you incorrectly!"

"You did an excellent job!"

The expression of profound gratitude immediately appeared in Marsilio's eyes.

"Eh?"

Eric was momentarily taken aback and had a nagging suspicion that this was some kind of test. However, based on what these children remembered, he did not observe any plans being made.

Marsilio spoke very slowly and continued, "Before I say anything else, they have already been checked out, and their fate is destined."

"..."

Eric was at a loss for words for a moment.

"These ten aren't the only people that survived; there are more than 30 children who we were able to save, and everyone was in the same situation as them, but we left these ten children alive and we executed the rest."

Marsilio continued. "Are you aware of the reason?"

Eric looked at the bodies of the ten children and shook his head, though he already knew the reason he simply didn't want to answer.

In such a case, his act of pretending to be part of a mindless mob would be exposed. Anything other than what he was instructed to do would be cause for suspicion, so he will only do what he is supposed to do.

Marsilio gave Eric a hard start before he continued,

"Because these ten possess sacred gear."

"And we will be extracting it, to put it to better use. At the moment when the experiment failed, all of those children who survived were already dying; nonetheless, their determination kept them alive; however, this dogged determination was no longer able to assist them; in such circumstances, death is a mercy. We gave them to fellow humans as a mercy."

"All of these survivors will die when we remove their sacred gear, but it will be better than the hell they underwent at the hands of our enemies."

"Remember, Eric, we humans are nothing more than trash and a disposable tool for supernaturals; even the so-called angels who are supposed to protect us are only interested in using us as shields, bestowing power on us in the name of their dead god, and feeding us lies until we become their dogs,"

"We are humans."

"And humanity is superior."

"Despite all of our flaws in comparison to the majority of other races, humanity has managed to carve out for centuries and live in the light of the sun, unlike those shits dogs who do nothing better than hide in the dark. "

As Marsilio continued to speak, the expression on his face hardened, his countenance became extremely icy, and an air of malevolence emanated from him without his conscious awareness.

'Of course, here comes their humanity is superior bullshit.' Eric thought sarcastically.

Good fellow.

"But you truly did meet all of my requirements!" Marsilio flashed one of his seldom smiles, which may be seen as an expression of support from the older generation to the younger generation.

"And there we have it."

Eric nodded slowly.

He was able to comprehend the rationale behind the absence of any sign of the arrangement in their recollection. since there was no agreement whatsoever.

In the end, all of these children's efforts were for nought because they were unaware that they were going to pass away regardless of what happened.

Strong always prey on the weak; either you bite the bullet or die taking it.

Eric did have some sympathy for them, but this is life; the ultimate purpose of life is death, and they should consider themselves fortunate to have accomplished this goal at such a young age.

In either case, they are drugged, and as a result, these children had no idea what happened to them; it was as close as they could get to a peaceful death.

However, Eric didn't expect that Captain Marsilio would use such a thing to evaluate him.

It looks like he's taking greater precautions!

He is deserving of the position of captain of the most powerful criminal organisation!

He possesses a vast array of options!

Eric can be sure that this was the first time Marsilio has used this kind of routine because there was no such picture in his memory.

"Eric, don't blame me. There are a lot of things about which you are ignorant."

When Marsilio noticed that Eric was quiet, he started explaining things in a low voice.

"In addition to the medical division, there is also a medical analysis and research division!"

"You will be moved to that division at some point in the future, even though you arrived late and hadn't made contact with the people in that group."

"If you put in a lot of effort, your position will be improved, you will become a core member of the hero faction, and you will be given the equipment you need to get fast stronger,"

"I think you are the most suitable! "

"I am very optimistic about you!"

"This time, it can be said that it is my test for you. And that was a fantastic job that you did!"

When Marsilio finished saying this, there was a little gap in his tone, and then the smile that was on his face began to fade, and he became quite serious.

"So…"

"The team leader of the Medical and Analysis Division is looking for a new subordinate who is good and has potential; you will be perfect for the position,"

"Simply because your overall physical condition is not very excellent,"

"I decided to ask your opinion. Are you prepared to take on a more difficult challenge?"

After Marsilio finished speaking, he stared at Eric with scorching eyes, and there was a strong expectation in his eyes.

Eric was stunned. He looked at Marsilio suspiciously and suddenly became cautious.

Something was wrong!

There was absolutely something wrong here!

Eric himself was very cautious; he had done nothing during this time and was very conservative.

After all, he was afraid of revealing something.

Seriously, you can become a core member just because you learned some sensitive information.

Was the core member position this low?

After some time, Eric quickly recalls Marsilio's memory in his mind.

These memory images read through the mind-reading system were like movies stored in Eric's mind.

As long as he wanted, it could be retrieved at any time.

And as expected, after Eric carefully explored the memory, Marsilio used this promotion-style temptation more than once.

It can be said... This was also a kind of test to check the loyalty of new members to the faction and their primary goals and ambitions.

Promotion should not be considered important by those in the medical field. Their purpose is to heal, and they should only do that. Do every task steadily. if your mind was unsteady. Then this small mistake can take someone else's life.

"Eric." At this moment, Marsilio's voice rang, pulling Eric back from his thoughts.

"Why don't you speak anymore? Are you too happy?"

"To be honest. I think you have the potential! If you agree, you will be greatly benefited beginning today."

"What do you think?"

Marsilio asked while squinting his eyes slightly, hiding the light of his eyes behind his blue bangs. while his handsome face twisted in a grin.

After hearing Marsilio's urging, Eric raised his head and looked at Marsilio.

There was no change in the expression on his face, and he appeared as calm as possible.

Good fellow.

If it was a person who was not cautious enough, He really can't stand it!

"Cough, cough, cough..." Eric cleared his throat immediately and suddenly appeared a little nervous.

"Captain Marsilio. I don't think I am suitable!"

"And... I don't want to be a core member," Eric said seriously.

There was something in Marsilio's words that made him a little moved.

Being a core member has too much danger in the latter stages; he will need to expose himself to the protagonist group, and his identity will become special due to his position.

And this would result in him getting fewer chances to read the memories.

and that is unacceptable in any case.

For Eric, as long as he was the lowest member of the medical division, all the hard work was his!

The identity of the core member was too eye-catching.

Low-key.

He must be low-key.

His strength was not enough now. Any erratic behaviour may lead to a tragic death in this chaotic supernatural world.

"Oh?"

Marsilio expressed surprise at Eric's answer and looked at him deeply.

"You don't want to transfer?" Marsilio asked, obviously not sure.

He still didn't know whether these were Eric's true thoughts or just his excuses.

"Captain Marsilio, please don't kid me. I know how much I have." Eric directly shook his head without hesitation, and a wry smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"I just now healed these 10 children; I almost ran out of stamina. You also know that my physical fitness is very poor. Right now, I just want to contribute my strength to the faction; I have never thought about being a core member." Eric's tone was very firm, and what he said was what he wanted in his heart.

"Either way, even if I join them, I will become their liability due to my weak strength, and seeing someone as weak as me in the core team would reduce the reputation of our faction."

Even if there was no foreshadowing from Marsilio's memory Even if Marsilio was telling the truth, not testing him, Eric didn't want to be a core member either way.

He just wants to quietly read the memories and grow stronger in the medical division!

"Are you serious?" Marsilio's look at Eric changed repeatedly.

He had not seen many people who could resist the temptation to get promoted.

Now Eric's performance has, to some extent, also exceeded his expectations. only… This makes him feel strange but in a good way.

"I'm serious!" Eric nodded firmly. "

"Eric. You can think about it again. You don't have to answer me in such a hurry." Marsilio decided to test Eric once more.

"I cannot." Eric waved his hands again and again. He shook his head and said, "I just want to stay in the medical division and serve our faction with whatever strength I have."

"I wish to serve and save humanity in my own way."

This time, Marsilio remained silent but fixed his gaze on Eric. After a while, the little black house fell into a silent atmosphere.

"Ok!" Marsilio took a deep breath and then nodded.

"I respect your decision!"

"But… I will still give you three days! in these three days. "As long as you still want to accept the proposal, come to me anytime."

Marsilio decided to carry out the temptation to its end. With these last words, he plans to plant a seed in Eric's heart. Three days was the right amount of time for this seed to germinate.

He wants to see it. If Eric is truly unique or just like other greedy little fools?

"Thank you, Captain!" Eric bowed to Marsilio and expressed his gratitude.

He was carrying out a silent curse in his heart.

He has such a black belly! You're too much!
