Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!
Chapter 590: A step ahead in skills?
As the mechanical prompt sounded in everyone's mind, the second crystal transportation mission officially began.
The four teams, carrying transport boxes, met again in the public area.
As their eyes met, silent silence filled the air and each other's gazes seemed unusually cold.
Sikong Mingshen strode with his head held high, carrying a large leather transport box, and walked into the crystal room first.
After sitting down safely on the metal chair, he turned his head indifferently and glanced at Li Ming with a provocative look.
Li Ming did not show any fear. He handed the transport box in his hand to Cecily beside him, then walked calmly into the transport area with firm steps.
This time, he didn't make any extra movements, not even sitting down.
Instead, he placed his hands on the red crystal table, staring at the person opposite him with his illusory eyes, and kept repeating, "One piece... two pieces... three pieces..."
Every time he read out a number, he would carefully observe the other person's facial expressions and mood swings, trying to catch some clues from them so as to understand the number of crystals in the transport box.
After nearly three minutes, Sikong Mingshen's expression gradually showed some unnaturalness.
He sneered and said sarcastically: "What are you doing? Chanting? Are you trying to guess the number of crystals in the box this way? This is ridiculous."
"Two pieces are ruled out..." Li Ming ignored his sarcasm and continued to stare at the opposite side with a sharp gaze, muttering, "One piece... three pieces..."
Hearing this, Sikong Mingshen's eyes froze for a moment.
But he still didn't believe it, thinking that the other party might just be playing tricks and deliberately setting up a maze to try to lure him into revealing his true identity.
However, when Li Ming mentioned the idea of eliminating a crystal again, even though he tried his best to suppress his reaction, his emotions inevitably fluctuated a little.
He actually didn't care whether the crystal could be transported successfully. He was more concerned about whether Li Ming could really see through his thoughts.
"Huh..." Li Ming let out a long breath and sat back in his chair, looking a little tired.
He rubbed his eyes gently to relieve the fatigue in his pupils, and then said in a positive tone: "It should be correct, you installed three crystal stones."
"Are you sure?" A cold look flashed across Sikong Mingshen's face.
"I'm very sure," Li Ming's voice was calm, but revealed great confidence. "Don't waste any more time, just open the box and check it."
Outside the crystal room, James Bond and his three companions exchanged glances imperceptibly, and a feeling of worry welled up in their hearts.
Could it be that Li Ming could really accurately determine the number of crystals carried by Sikong Mingshen through this seemingly mysterious method?
Seeing that the time for checking guesses was up, Sikong Mingshen waited for nearly a minute, and the calmness on his face was broken for the first time, "How did you do it? Don't tell me it was by sensing emotions. Even if I have emotional fluctuations, I can block them with my mental power, and you will never be able to detect it."
"Well, haha..." Li Ming smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, I will reveal the answer to you after the game is over, so please wait patiently."
"Hmph, playing tricks!" Sikong Mingshen snorted coldly, suddenly turned his head, and shot a cold gaze at Gibson and others outside.
Gibson shuddered involuntarily, then smiled bitterly.
He thought to himself, could it be that Sikong Mingshen was doubting him? But he really didn't do anything.
Sikong Mingshen only took a brief glance and quickly looked away.
However, he did not open the box immediately. He still had to be on guard, even though Li Ming had accurately guessed the number of crystals in it.
The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, and the two people on both sides of the crystal table looked at each other with sharp eyes like knives.
An invisible aura was quietly spreading, creating an indescribable sense of oppression.
When the seven-minute countdown was about to come to an end, Sikong Mingshen slowly opened the transport box.
Inside the box, three huge gray crystals lay quietly, emitting a faint luster, as if telling of some mysterious power.
"I actually guessed it right!" Dongmen Qiansha waved her clenched fists excitedly, her face filled with joy.
Cecily smiled helplessly and shook her head, "I really don't understand what they are doing."
"This should be a spiritual contest, so it is difficult for us outsiders to understand the mystery." Xingmei analyzed.
"Haha." Dongmen Qiansha laughed triumphantly, "This shows that Sikong Mingshen can't get any advantage in front of our captain. Let's see if he dares to be arrogant in the future!"
James Bang and his companions forced a smile of joy on their faces, and said insincerely words of praise such as "It's a great pleasure" and "Well done" etc.
However, if you observe carefully, you can still see some unnaturalness in their expressions.
The 'Tianyu' team's crystal transportation mission ended in failure, and the three crystals in the box were all confiscated by the system.
But Sikong Mingshen did not show much emotion. He just threw the empty box out calmly, then turned to Li Ming and said in a cold tone: "Now it's your turn. Bring in your transport boxes."
Upon hearing this, Li Ming flicked his fingers and a palm-sized piece of silver metal shot out, deftly wrapping around the handle of the box in Cecily's hand, and then steadily brought the box into the room.
"The box has been brought in. Guess how many crystals are inside."
Sikong Mingshen remained silent, his eyes fixed on the leather transport box on the table. He looked extremely focused, as if he was lost in deep thought.
James Bang and others outside also became nervous involuntarily. They also didn't know how many crystals Li Ming had put in the box.
It would be best if Sikong Mingshen could guess correctly, but even if he guessed wrong, he could not choose to guess it, otherwise, the alliance between them and the 'Tianyu' team would be completely exposed.
Time passed slowly minute by minute, and the room inside and outside was immersed in silence.
Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for Sikong Mingshen to tell the result of his guess.
As the inspection time was drawing to a close, Sikong Mingshen finally finished observing the transport box and slowly sat up straight.
He exhaled lightly, and then said word by word in a sonorous and powerful voice: "There are three crystal stones in this box!"
"Three pieces? Are you sure this is your final answer?" Li Ming asked further with a blank expression.
"I'm sure of it." Sikong Mingshen was full of vigor and confidence. "Don't waste time. Just open the box and verify it."
Outside the room, James Bang looked thoughtful. Since Li Ming was setting up a trap to test them, then choosing to transport the three crystals was undoubtedly the wisest decision.
This move can not only verify whether they have betrayed, but also ensure maximum benefits, which is killing two birds with one stone.
But unfortunately, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Sikong Mingshen was obviously more skilled.
