12 Who?

Ji Shen was currently doing push-ups in determination, while Lin Chindu, who was an overly excited workout idiot, hurriedly joined him too.

Lin Chindu even started competing with Ji Shen to see who did the most push-ups.

"Look! Here I go!

I'm great, right? Hahahahaha!"

Ji Shen looked at him and nodded in agreement: "Hmhm. You are indeed great."

"Of course! Don't worry. Soon, you will be as great as me."

"Well, you're right. My body does need some work."

[Onlookers]: (-_-)

.

Everyone looked at the duo and didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

What was this?

With the tension in the air, was this really a good time to do push-ups?

The Candidates subconsciously distanced themselves from the idiots, who they had already determined were walking corpses.

That's right.

From this moment, they took them as dead men, because the way the keeper looked at them was too terrifying.

Who wants to get involved and get sent away so soon?

What a joke!

The other Hell shadows and the veterans who came in with carts were all scary-looking.

Just a single glare from them could make the majority of candidates step back in panic.

With these people in the room, everyone took the situation dire, with some almost forgetting to breathe from time to time.

So weren't Ji Shen and Lin Chindu too ballsy?

No... It should be that they were idiots.

Yup! They were idiots.

.

Analyzing everything like this, they secretly swore to stay away from the duo in future.

Of course, another person they chose to stay away from was Ran Senko.

Even though he wasn't doing pushups like his friends, he chose to do squats while calmly reading a book instead.

So did this mean that he wanted to join his friends but couldn't bear to stop reading?

The book in his hand was so tiny, about the size of one's palm.

He calmly flipped a page as if no one in this world had entered his eyes, while squatting down and stood up again, repeating the same movements.

His full attention was on the book, making others curious about what could be written in It.

Soon, after doing several squats, he then sat on Lin Chindu's back and crossed his leg.

On the other hand, Lin Chindu, who was still doing pushups, acted as if nothing had happened and continued competing with Ji Shen.

Idiots! Complete idiots!

Everyone was dumbfounded and felt like their worldview of geniuses had been shattered.

How could these 2 geniuses follow a weakling like Ji Shen?

Shouldn't they avoid him and stay out of trouble instead?

Or could it be that these geniuses themselves also troublemakers deep down?

Sigh... As expected. Birds of the same feather flock together.

Of course, the candidates weren't the only ones accessing the matter.

In particular, 3 Hell shadows; Pei Xhi, Zha Ju and Yan Teng, looked at them with strange expressions on their faces.

.

Pie Xhi massaged his chin thoughtfully: "Hey. These candidates are interesting. They can stay calm in a time like this and still act natural, which only shows how strong their mental strength and adaptability is."

"Pui!! Aren't you giving them too much credit?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Who knows.

But one thing is for sure. These 3 are weird... Especially Z-360.

"Hmhm. Something about him seems off.

Old Xhi, isn't that your guy?"

"He's mine. Don't worry. I'll unwrap whatever secrets he has hidden." Pei Xhi replied calmly.

Out of the recruits in this batch, Pei Chi had been assigned 10 of them to watch over.

And funny enough, Lin Chindu (Z-002) and Ji Shen (Z-360) were assigned to him.

This just meant that he and his team would be the ones in charge of monitoring them while they were here.

Nothing more.

Now, he was intrigued about Ji Shen.

Seeing the Keeper's face, Pei Xhi decided to act fast to appease him.

With that, Pei Xhi stepped forth to diffuse the situation.

But unbeknownst to him and a few others... Another Hell Veteran in the room was coldly watching Ji Shen with an evil look on his face.

His eyes twinkled deeply with determination.

Now that the boy was here, he could finally act.

No matter what, the bit could never leave this place alive!!!

.

Who?

Ji Shen, who had just completed his last pushup, felt a heavy murderous aura coming his way that was almost.

His eyes dilated as his hairs all stood up alert.

With his super alert senses, he could feel danger and knew when he was threatened.

Where?

The aura wasn't coming from the Keeper or the approaching Hell shadows; Pei Xhi, Zha Ju and Yan Teng.

So who was it coming from?

Like lightning, he turned his head towards the danger zone.

But the moment he did so, the murderous aura vanished.

He squinted his eyes coldly and observed the Hell shadows there and secretly took note of them.

He didn't offend them in any way.

So why have murderous thoughts on him?

He didn't know why, but he felt that there was a conspiracy underway.

Of course when he turned his head earlier on, he proceeded as if he hadn't noticed anything and smiled stupidly at the approaching Hell veterans, who looked very pissed.

Seeing this, the candidates who had avoided them gloated and sneered in disdain, waiting to watch the show.

"You 3! Stand for me!"
