Ranran's answer made Li Jianye and others unsure, and Huaer was particularly thoughts were exactly the same as Li Jianye's, and even more firm. She believed that Ran Ran targeted Zhang Peng just to kick him out so that she could join the team with An Zi.
Isn’t this what the saying “Too many people means more uncertainty” means?
Otherwise, what is her purpose in saying and doing this?
Ranran couldn’t express it directly... In fact, the scope of the “many people” in “too many people will lead to variables”... is everyone except her and Anzi.
That seemed too hurtful.
She didn't want anything, she was just expressing her current emotions.
Just follow your heart.
Apart from actual physical pain such as illness, all the pain a person can feel is caused by emotions. From a material perspective, they are not real things.
But even something as invisible and intangible as this can cause great pain to people, even far exceeding physical pain.
Finding ways to mediate or even relieve the emotions becomes the strongest thought of those who are emotionally tormented.
Because of the reincarnation seal, Ranran's emotions were constantly being stripped away, and she was becoming increasingly difficult to be moved. If you think on the bright side, she has gotten rid of the pain that comes from emotions.
But just like the previous situation, every time Ranran entered the Terror Cave copy, her originally cold and silent emotions would awaken again, and she couldn't tell whether it belonged to the body she occupied or her own.
Ranran was obviously unhappy about being enslaved by her emotions again, so she chose the best way to relieve her emotions - say whatever you want and do whatever you think of.
Emotions are like ice or snowflakes. If you don't hide them in a cold place but put them under the sun, they will soon turn into water vapor and disappear.
This is what expressing emotions directly means - letting them come into the light.
Ran Ran was really disgusted by the way Zhang Peng spoke so confidently that she simply slapped him twice.
Sure enough, she felt much better now.
But what she thought was normal behavior was quite abnormal in the eyes of others.
When we completely abandon the layer of decency in interpersonal communication, the result is pleasure, but the corresponding price is misunderstanding.
They will be regarded as crazy, and after a long time, they will give up the dignity they were willing to maintain.
Ranran's current situation is still in the early stages.
Anzi approached her cautiously, "Are you okay now?"
He believed that Ranran behaved in such extreme words and deeds because it was his first time participating in the Abyss Trial and the stimulation he received was too great.
"I am fine."
Anzi lowered his voice and only spoke bluntly in front of Ran Ran, "If it's very good, why would you slap someone casually?"
Ran Ran paused, looked at An Zi and said earnestly: "Why do you think I'm beating people casually?"
"I clearly chose carefully and made a prudent decision before slapping him."
Anzi's face was full of disbelief, "But you just hit Zhang Peng's face so hard and fast that it swelled up."
"It's good to make decisions with careful consideration and act decisively, isn't that good?" Ran Ran said innocently, "I didn't say it casually. If I hit people casually, why didn't I hit you and others?"
"Why am I only targeting Zhang Peng?"
"Of course I have my reasons for hitting someone. Even if I take a step back, don't you think Zhang Peng deserves the beating?"
Anzi couldn't say a word for a moment. It seemed to make sense, but also seemed to make no sense at all.
Apart from coming to the conclusion that Ranran's mental state was somewhat worrying, he didn't come to any conclusion.
After a long pause, he could only say: "...as long as you think it's okay."
Since Ran Ran really didn't express the intention to kick Zhang Peng out, Li Jianye didn't have to worry about it anymore. In his eyes, these eight people except him were all children, and even if they had shortcomings and made small mistakes, they were not to the extent of breaking up.
Zhang Peng and Jingjing had no experience at all. If they were allowed to act alone, they would sooner or later become the ghosts of the area. Expelling them from the team would be the same as sending them to their deaths.
Li Jianye sighed deeply. Although his master always taught him not to be overly compassionate and try to take on everything, he really couldn't turn a blind eye.
It would be better if these people didn't come to him, but if they did, he couldn't ignore them.
No matter how unhappy Zhang Peng was, he couldn't show any force to Ran Ran as he was being restrained by Lei Zi. All his grievances turned into resentment. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He followed him quietly. The three of them walked at the end of the team.
Ranran turned around and observed this situation, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
People should always be responsible for what they say.
Anzi squeezed next to her and said, "Ran Ran, you said before that you don't know the system guidance. Does that mean you don't know which cards you have drawn?"
Ranran didn't expect that Anzi, who had always performed mediocrely, could notice this detail, and nodded immediately.
Anzi showed an expression of "as expected". He lowered his voice and said, "I saw that when everyone was discussing the card drawing just now, you looked very confused."
He pointed to Ranran's hand, "What about that rolling pin you had stuck in your hand earlier? It must be one of the ten things you drew the card with."
"I'm not sure, but it will be there once you enter the trial."
Anzi pondered for a moment and said, "Although what I said may not be reliable, you can try it."
"The rolling pin proves that you must have gone through the ten-draw stage, but for some reason, you forgot."
"In that case the things must still be there. Just try to search all over your body. Remember the storage device I mentioned before?"
As Anzi spoke, he handed the red string with the word "An" tied around his wrist to Ranran.
"If the rest of your stuff isn't showing up like a rolling pin, it's probably in your storage."
Looking at Ran Ran's confused expression, Anzi scratched his head in distress, "The trouble now is that you don't even remember where the storage device is and what it turned into?"
Ranran nodded in agreement.
Anzi gave a bitter smile, "Then we can only look around blindly. If we can find it, the remaining eight things should be inside."
"Although the Abyss Trial is a rip-off, the items given out during the ten consecutive draws before the start have received 100% positive reviews. So far, I haven't heard anyone say that the items are not useful."
Ran Ran was strangely silent for a moment, "Do you think there is a possibility that the people who are not useful have died in the trial."
"Those who survived are all lucky. Whether they are lucky in themselves or lucky enough to actually make use of the effect of the ten-draw item, they will naturally think that the item is useful and helpful."
"...That makes a lot of sense." Anzi had no way to refute it.
In addition, Ran Ran also noticed a detail in what he just said, "Why are there eight things left?"
"Except for the rolling pin, shouldn't there be nine items left?"
Anzi was stunned when he heard this, "Oh, right? Why did I think there were eight? Weird..."
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the little white shoes Ranran was wearing.
"I remember now!" Anzi slapped his head, "Your shoes! I noticed the shoes on your feet when we just met."
"It doesn't match your outfit, so I subconsciously thought it must be a prop pulled out of the abyss."
Ranran then lowered her head to observe the spotless white shoes on her feet.
She hadn't noticed this at all before and just felt very comfortable.
Anzi's head popped over unexpectedly, "So it's really an abyss item?"
"Is it equipment?" (End of this chapter)
