NovelEnglishChapter 968: Are You Ready?
Yang Lihua said, “I really won’t plot against you.”
“You also said before you would not hurt Tong Hua.” Shen Qianshu looked at her. “Back then, you... were forced to obey the Black Rose. For so many years, you have actually become one of the Black Rose’s people. Were you working for her willingly?”
Yang Lihua said, “I owe her two lives.”
“You don’t owe anyone. She owes you all. Don’t be silly.”
Yang Lihua said, “Everyone has a different way of thinking in their hearts. You don’t have to persuade me. I know what I’m doing. Qianshu, actually, Tong Hua... ”
She paused, letting out a sigh, and did not talk further.
Maxi came in. “It’s time to change the dressing.”
She took a tray over and changed the dressing for Shen Qianshu. It had been three days, and the wound was healing very slowly. It even had fresh blood oozing out. Maxi said, “You should rest.”

Her face was very small, and her skin was very fair. She looked oriental.
She spoke in English and had a very strange accent.
“Are you an adult?”
“No.”
Shen Qianshu said, “That’s what I thought.”
Her body had not developed. With this height and face, she would be a middle school student in City A.
“Have you killed anyone?” Shen Qianshu smiled as she asked.
The young girl slowly changed her dressing. Her voice was stable. “I’ve killed before.”
Shen Qianshu’s back became numb. She’s so young, and she has killed before.
The young girl said, “Are you scared? In Somalia, five-year-old children can kill others.”
That was an abnormal place.
Shen Qianshu said, “I’m not scared.”
She was already not bothered with life and death.
“When Ye Ling was negotiating with the Black Rose in the beginning, he wanted to exchange himself for me. Now that I’m in the hands of the Black Rose, it is a very worthwhile voice to me. Even if I were dead, it would also only be paying with a life.”
If Ye Ling had come.
If he succeeded, she would also be the weak spot that the Black Rose would use to threaten Ye Ling. If he failed, the Black Rose would also not let him off.
It was very hot and stuffy in the small house.

Yang Lihua said, “Maxi, let her be the popular science for the Black Rose.”
Maxi wrapped the last bandage and said calmly, “The Black Rose has inherited it for decades. Only the successor to the gatekeeper knows where the headquarters is. It will be the day of the selection of the Black Rose not long after. You have to go for the selection.”
“How do I join the selection?”
Maxi said, “You’ll know by then.”
“What kind of popular science is this considered? Are you one of the Black Rose’s people?”
Maxi lifted her head and looked at Shen Qianshu. Her face was expressionless. “As for the Black Rose’s matters, only the Black Rose is well-aware.”
Yang Lihua said, “Maxi is right. We don’t know much. We don’t even know how the selection will be made. There will be 30 places for the people of the Black Rose to compete. The election mechanism is very cruel, and the chance of living is very small. Hence, Qianshu, you better listen to me and let your body recuperate.”
Maxi said, “She’s right.”
Shen Qianshu looked at Maxi and glanced at Yang Lihua again.
“You all really don’t know anything about the selection?”
Maxi said, “I know a bit of information. All the candidates will go through a test at one of the strategic points of the Black Rose. I guess... all the people will be placed on the island. It is similar to the big escape. They will kill each other. Whoever can live to come out will go through another three rounds of test. The winner will be the successor to the Black Rose. One of the checkpoints is related to the successor of the gatekeeper. As for the details, it will depend on the elders’ decision. Hence, Miss Shen, are you ready to kill?”
