Then let the witch offer her loyalty

When a trainee successfully establishes a romantic relationship with a target in a social test, the special agents will use their professional social skills to quickly close the distance with the trainee and make them develop genuine feelings for them.

Then, just when the trainees are truly moved, the special agents will work with other behind-the-scenes personnel to stage a scene similar to the one just now.

This is why, before the test began, the instructors specifically emphasized that if they couldn't let go of their goals after the test, the organization would allow them to continue developing the relationship.

The goal is to create an atmosphere that makes it easier for special agents to lure trainees in, and then force them to choose between love and duty.

If a trainee refuses to fire, regardless of how well they performed in previous special training, they will be unconditionally eliminated and permanently banned from the training program.

Only by pulling the trigger and firing the training round from the gun at the special operations team can one truly pass the third test.

For the other trainees, these ten days must have been a rollercoaster ride, from pure scheming at the beginning to developing genuine feelings under the guidance of the special agents, and then having to face a life-or-death choice.

Based on past data, this round of testing can eliminate at least 30% of the participants.

Of course, for Chen Moxin, who already knew the situation, these past ten days or so were purely a battle of acting skills with Lu Yilan.

You think I'm just acting.

Actually, you're the one acting against me.

But ultimately, I'm the one playing you.

Chapter 73 Not a Single One Can Be Left Behind

In a secluded room of an abandoned factory, Li Lei and two soldiers are helping Lu Yilan clean the "scabs" off her body.

These are all professionally applied film-quality special effects makeup. Unless you touch them, you can't tell the difference between real and fake with the naked eye.

To make it look realistic, these special effects makeup sets are all complete, and it was quite troublesome to remove them, taking a full half hour.

"Alright, alright, I'll take care of the rest when I get home." Lu Yilan leaned against the wall and beckoned to Li Lei with her finger, "Old Li, have a cigarette, I've been suffocating these past few days."

Li Lei handed her a cigarette, lit one for himself, and asked as he puffed on it, "What do you think of that kid, Number 9?"

"Awesome, what else can I say?" Lu Yilan inhaled the long-lost smoke into her lungs, feeling a shiver of pleasure throughout her body, before slowly exhaling after it had fully passed through her lungs.

She gave a self-deprecating laugh: "If I told you that as a professional special agent, there were actually a few moments when I was genuinely moved by him, would you believe me?"

Li Lei exhaled smoke through his nose and said calmly, "Xin, No. 9 is the one I have the highest hopes for among all the trainees in this batch. But you should know that it's impossible for you two."

"Tch, do you even need to tell me that?" Lu Yilan revealed her mature and sophisticated charm again, and said lazily, "Let's forget about dating, but if he ever wants to sleep with me, I'd be happy to oblige."

Li Lei rolled his eyes at her: "Don't act crazy here."

"If there's nothing else, you can go back now. The bureau has other tasks for you later."

Lu Yilan then thought of something and winked playfully at Li Lei: "Old Li, can I accept that villa he gave me?"

"Nonsense, what do you think?" Li Lei instructed, "Go back and report the situation to the organization in time, go through the procedures to return the house to him, otherwise it will be bad if someone uses it against you."

"Just kidding, why are you taking it so seriously..." Lu Yilan finished the last puff of her cigarette, stubbed it out on the wall, put the saliva-covered cigarette butt back in her pocket, waved and left, "I'm leaving, give that little guy my best wishes."

...

On the way back to the special training camp, Chen Moxin called Dong Xiaobai.

"Sister Xiaobai, I recently bought a villa at No. 88 Suxi Road. There's also a supercar parked at the door. The car keys are under the flowerpot by the door, and all the relevant documents are in the cabinet on the passenger side."

“I’ve already used up all those things. In a couple of days, just help me sell them for whatever price you can find out. Just don’t let Old Chen find out anything. Put the money in your account and keep it for yourself.”

"Enough with the 'this' and 'that's it. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now. Goodbye."

Back at the training camp, Chen Moxin met Alexander and Lei Lie in her dormitory.

"Brother Chen."

"Brother Chen."

When the two saw Chen Moxin, they stood up and greeted her, their eyes filled with a hint of melancholy and vicissitude.

Since they were still able to appear here, it meant they had passed the third test, which meant they both fired at Zhang Li and Wang Qian.

To be honest, Chen Moxin was originally prepared to change teammates.

After all, the two of them had been constantly talking about how great their partners were, so Chen Moxin knew that they had been lured in by those two special agents and there was a chance they would mess things up.

But he didn't specifically remind him.

Firstly, if he were to warn the two of the pitfalls ahead, it would be tantamount to revealing that he knew about the hidden aspects of the test, which would be difficult to explain convincingly.

On the other hand, Chen Moxin also really wanted to see how these two would handle such a choice.

If they're really stuck in this situation, the woman will slow down their ability to draw their guns...

Chen Moxin felt that it was better to part ways sooner rather than later. He and the Holy Mother were not on the same path, and he didn't want anything to happen in the future that would delay each other.

The current result is of course the best; all three people have completed the test.

The 7th squad was intact, with not a single member missing.

To be fair, Chen Moxin preferred her two goofy teammates to those boring trainees.

Alexander let out a long sigh, leaning against the wall and staring blankly at the ceiling: "These past ten days have truly been an unforgettable experience... The first girl I ever liked was actually a special agent who played me..."

Chen Moxin asked with great interest, "I'm really curious, you like Wang Li so much, how could you bring yourself to do it?"

Alexander's expression immediately turned serious, and he said righteously, "Isn't that obvious? They told me that Wang Li was an undercover agent colluding with enemy agents, and I shot her without saying a word!"

"Anyone who dares to betray their country, even if they are my own father, must die!"

"A worthy death!"

"..." Chen Moxin twitched the corner of her mouth, "You seem to be a little obsessed."

He then looked at Lei Lie: "And you, Third Brother, what has been your journey of self-discovery?"

Lei Lie scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat innocent, and said, "Uh... I didn't really have a thought process... They told me to fire, so I just followed orders..."

Chen Moxin laughed heartily.

This is also a talented individual.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising that Lei Lie's father was a high-ranking military official, and he himself had served in frontline units. It's not surprising that soldiers consider obeying orders their duty.

Moreover, Lei Lie is a straightforward person.

Play around as you please, but don't joke around with Lei Lie.

If you dare to say it, he dares to do it.

Alexander glanced at Chen Moxin and asked curiously, "Brother Chen, what about you? Tell us how you pursued Lu Yilan, so we can learn from you and use it when we want to woo girls in the future."

"Come on, let me teach you, it's very simple." Chen Moxin readily put her arm around the two of them.

"First of all, you need to be more composed and not rush things. You need to show the maturity that a man should have. No girl likes an immature man."

"Yes, be more mature. Remember, I was a bit rash when I approached Zhang Li. I need to be more composed in the future."

"Secondly, you need to know how to cater to her preferences. Just like a chef making a dish, no matter how exquisite your dish is, it's useless if it doesn't suit the customer's taste. It's the same when pursuing a girl. You need to know what type of girl she likes, and then act in a way that suits her."

"I see. It's like when I was pursuing Zhang Li. Her persona is that she likes to attend all kinds of social events, is vain, and cares a lot about her image. So, I, with my blonde hair and blue eyes, have a natural advantage. I get it!"

"More importantly, you need to understand tactics. Making the other party take an interest in you is far more effective than actively seducing them. The most skilled hunters often appear as prey."

"I understand! I understand! No wonder you advised Lei Lie to go to the gym and do heavy weight training. You were actually using this method. Brilliant!"

"at last..."

"Last thing?!"

"If you have 100 million in your account, none of the things mentioned before matter."

"Get lost! You're making fun of me again!"

Chapter 74 Final Test

According to the follow-up statistics after the third round of testing, 27 out of the original 72 trainees were eliminated.

Without exception, all 27 men were unable to escape the trap of emotions and refused to shoot the women, thus losing their eligibility to continue training.

These eliminated trainees can still work at the Bureau, but no matter how they perform afterward, they will not have the opportunity to become witch hunters again, and it will probably be difficult for them to be promoted to important positions.

The remaining 45 trainees were reorganized because some teams were incomplete.

Some were even completely wiped out, with an entire team being lost.

When they gathered, Alexander looked at the noticeably fewer trainees around him and couldn't help but sigh: "Damn, so many familiar faces are gone. Zhang Ling, Sun Ping, and Wu Tieniu from Team 2 have all been eliminated... Sigh... They were really good people."

Although the special training is conducted in small teams, there is frequent interaction between the teams, so it is not a closed system.

Chen Moxin and Lei Lie also knew the three people Alexander mentioned. The two teams had a very harmonious relationship and often went out for extra training and meals together.

The second squad's score was even higher than that of the seventh squad.

But by a single misjudgment, these three missed out on a glorious promotion.

Chen Moxin shook her head and said, "The three of them are indeed very good, but if that kind of goodness is used in the wrong place, it can easily become a disaster. Eliminating them is also a responsibility to the organization."

Alexander said nothing more, only sighed.

For the remaining people who successfully passed the test, the days ahead were relatively easy, since everything that needed to be taught had been taught.

The following section mainly involves comprehensive practice and reinforcement of what has been learned previously, a busy but structured process.

The days passed like this.

Spring gradually withdraws its warmth, and summer arrives with its intense heat. The cicadas' chirping becomes the hallmark of this season, rising and falling in waves, intertwining like a noisy and sweltering symphony.

From late winter to early summer, the four-month-long special training program came to an end.

After undergoing rigorous training and honing their skills, the trainees of the 53rd Hunter Training Camp have transformed into highly capable warriors.

At the end of this special training, they will face their final test.

On this day, Li Lei gathered 45 trainees from 15 teams at the training ground.

Unlike usual, Li Lei wasn't alone today; he was surrounded by a group of people, exactly 15 in total.

These people vary in height and weight, and at first glance, their appearance is no different from that of ordinary people. However, if you pay close attention, you will find that there is a subtle sense of oppression about them.

Especially the look in these people's eyes...

Like a skilled male wolf in a pack, silently watching its newly weaned cubs.

Li Lei's next words immediately confirmed the students' suspicions: "The 15 people next to me are all active witch hunters from the Twin Cities Witch Management Bureau."

"Your final test will be to fight a witch hunter in a real combat environment as a three-person team, and use all the skills you have learned so far to defeat him."

The trainees couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at each other in disbelief.

No one expected that the final test would be a direct confrontation with a witch hunter.

Although they felt they had become much stronger over the past four months.

But those were highly trained witch hunters with psychic powers; how could a few ordinary people like them possibly defeat them?

Li Lei gestured for everyone to focus their attention on him and continued explaining the rules: "For this final test, we will conduct a full simulation as closely as possible."

“You combat teams will be acting as law enforcers from the Bureau.”

"And the witch hunter will play the role of an illegal psionicist on the run."

"You will engage in a chase and battle throughout the entire Twin Cities."

"Just like in real life, law enforcement officers can use most of the weapons and equipment within the Bureau and enjoy comprehensive intelligence and logistical support."

“Illegal psionicists are unaware of the Bureau’s actions and have no idea what weapons law enforcement officers will use, when they will arrive, or from where they will arrive. However, they will use their psionic abilities as appropriate when a situation arises.”

"The practical test is limited to 168 hours, and law enforcement officers can launch an operation at any time according to their own plans and deployments."

"Apart from prohibiting each other from causing death or maiming, and from endangering the lives of ordinary people, there are no other restrictions in principle."

"There is only one criterion for determining whether the final test is passed or not."

Li Lei raised a finger and slowly said, "Within 168 hours, as long as the law enforcement team can effectively injure the witch hunter who is playing the role of an illegal psychic, even if it is just breaking a little skin, the test will be passed."

The trainees' expressions turned somewhat strange after hearing this.

At first, everyone thought that the task of "going to kill the witch hunter" was too unreasonable and too difficult for people.

But now that they've heard the rules, they're wondering if they're too simple?

With a disadvantage in intelligence and equipment, and absolute initiative, you only need to injure the opponent once to pass the level?
