I, Lu Li, have a scale in my heart.

Lu Li is now facing a difficult choice.

He's like a referee on a sports field; he has to accurately grasp the nuances.

But there's a problem.

Referees have absolute authority because the athletes' careers are in their hands.

If someone assaults a referee, they could face a lifetime ban.

But Lu Li isn't one of them!

He felt that no matter which side he leaned towards, the other side would go berserk.

Yes, he believed what the two girls said was true.

None of them are true.

Lu Li could tell that the two of them were throwing dirty water at each other, since something similar had happened in his studio with his friend, where two employees had thrown dirty water at each other.

But the reason he's now walking on thin ice is that these two young ladies are actually capable of slandering each other.

In other words, they really could destroy the world.

And don't be fooled by how relaxed Lu Li seems; in reality, this matter is practically an unsolvable hellish difficulty.

Just look at Xing Tian and his group to know.

They weren't weak either, but their task was simply to "survive for three days," nothing more.

There wasn't even any punishment.

Because the mission failed, they simply couldn't survive.

There were originally six or seven people, but after only two days, only two are still alive.

Just think about it and you'll know how difficult it is, because no matter which one of them you face, or even if you don't face them directly, you could die at any moment.

Perhaps they won't even know how they died...

Lu Li had no interest in thinking about these things.

He's under immense pressure right now.

So whether the world is destroyed or not depends entirely on his decision?

The key point is that no matter what choice he makes, the world seems destined to be destroyed.

Tsk, it has a pretty Cthulhu vibe to it. Anyway, the ending is always tragic, the best ending is that the protagonist ends up in a mental hospital.

Lu Li was racking his brains, trying to find a way to a perfect ending!

Looking at the two girls, Lu Li first asked Bai Muli a question, "Miss Bai, if I choose Miss Luo..."

"Mr. Lu, please rest assured, I would never hurt you~~" Bai Muli replied with a light smile.

Lu Li understood instantly.

That means you'll hurt everyone except me.

He then looked at Luo Qianning.

A completely emotionless electronic voice rang out from Luo Qianning's phone.

Don't worry, Mr. Lu, you'll be fine.

Lu Li: "..."

Does "I'll be fine" mean that something might happen to the rest of the world besides me?

These two monsters...

They both said they wouldn't hurt themselves, plus there was that so-called "special" thing about them...

In other words, they both consider themselves quite important.

Could we make a fuss about this?

Got it!

"As for the choices, to be honest, we're not familiar with each other right now."

Lu Li said seriously, "I think the most important thing in life is actually living. And the most important thing in living is actually eating."

He paused, then looked at the two contestants. "In that case, why don't we have a competition?"

Both contestants were somewhat curious. "A competition?"

"YES!" Lu Li sat down leisurely, even crossing his legs. "How much do you know about me?"

"all."

【all.】

"I don't really agree with that." Lu Li chuckled. "I wouldn't even dare say I fully understand myself, but never mind, it's not important."

He glanced at the two girls, whose beauty and charisma seemed to transcend human limits. "Since you both think I'm important and want to be with me, then relying solely on your looks, figure, and charisma is..."

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to utter the words that went against his true feelings, "Not enough...not enough."

"The most important things are food, clothing, shelter, and transportation." Lu Li became confident when talking about this. "I have a car and a house (although I have to pay a mortgage), but I'm not good at cooking, so the most important thing is cooking skills!"

"So, here's the question: how are your cooking skills?"

Ms. Bai said confidently, "Mr. Lu, you've tasted my cooking skills."

Lu Li's expression was serious. "I'm not referring to a dream, but to reality. By the way, are we in reality right now?"

He really does have PTSD. Based on Luo Qianning's description and his own feelings, he really can't tell whether he's in reality or a dream.

After all, Miss Bai had only shown that parasitic ability in the dream world before.

But now she's doing it right in front of me.

So he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

"Guess~~" Miss Bai tilted her head slightly and gave Lu Li a wink.

But Miss Luo ruthlessly exposed her.

[This is in reality.]

She glanced at Bai Muli.

[I'm fine with this competition, but this guy probably wouldn't dare. After all, in a sense, he's 'blind.']

Bai Muli smiled confidently, "I'm going to win."

"Then it's decided." Lu Li quickly made the decision.

This is his open scheme!

No matter what, we must not let these two fight.

The gas explosion in Times Square that was mentioned in the news earlier was probably the result of their fight.

Moreover, Lu Li had previously felt earthquakes, and more than once.

This means they fought more than once.

Given the power of these two fighting, the city would probably be destroyed if they did.

And it's likely that neither of them is serious.

After all, Luo Qianning's abilities can influence the entire world, so Bai Muli, who is at least at the same level as her, wouldn't be much worse off.

Therefore, Lu Li's key to ensuring the world's safe passage lies in seizing the initiative.

What initiative?

The initiative to decide who wins and who loses between the two.

This requires a very subjective choice, but it cannot be too subjective.

If it's simply a matter of choosing between the two of them, then no matter who you choose, even if the other one doesn't harm you as they say, there's still a chance they could destroy the world.

Lu Li dared not gamble.

Therefore, the best outcome would be a draw between the two, which would be reasonable and would also absolve the individual of the outcome, making the result less subjective.

In other words, Lu Li will still be the one to make the final choice, but the two of them will accept this result.

Therefore, cooking skills are a great competition.

Of course, there will be other projects in the future.

Let's do it one at a time.

The premise is that they both genuinely wouldn't hurt themselves and care about themselves.

Only in this way can Lu Li's importance in their hearts influence the fate of this world.

But it doesn't matter.

If they are lying, then Lu Li can only lie down and wait to die.

He's already dead, there's nothing he can do about what the world does.

"Don't worry, I, Lu, have a scale in my heart. My former colleagues used to respectfully call me 'Brother Scale,' so you have to trust me." Lu Li said seriously, "However, it's not fair and objective to have only one judge, so I need two other judges to form a judging team."

He already has people in mind for those two referees.

A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Li's face.

............

In the hotel corridor outside, middle-aged strong man Xing Tian and young blond man Chi Mu leaned against the wall, smoking and staring blankly.

After a long pause, Akagi murmured softly, "Brother Tian, ​​do you think we can make it back alive...?"

It's unclear whether he was asking Xing Tian or himself.

They had both witnessed the eagle's death.

Right before their eyes, without warning, one second Eagle was talking about the next plan, the next second he melted like a wax figure and turned into that woman as he walked into the house.

I didn't even glance at them from beginning to end, as if they were just insignificant air.

They didn't feel humiliated, but rather a deep-seated fear.

In the past mission worlds, they were never afraid, whether facing the army, zombies, ghouls, or vengeful spirits.

But this time is different.

In this world, they cannot use any extraordinary abilities, and their deaths are all very abrupt.

There was absolutely no sign whatsoever.

He was shot to death as soon as he appeared, even though he was invulnerable to swords and spears.

Then there are those that suddenly explode on their own, like they're in a microwave oven.

And then there are those who suddenly die and turn into monsters, even losing their minds.

In just two days, only two of their original six-person team remained alive.

And what's most terrifying is that they don't know where the danger is coming from, when they will die, or even how they will die.

This kind of unknown fear is the most terrifying thing.

"I don't know either, but I know that you and I could die at any moment, maybe even the next second." Xing Tian pursed his lips, his eyes resolute. "But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up!"

There are three monsters in the room now. Whether they're fighting or chatting, there's only one thing we can do.

Akagi looked up, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, as if he had grasped at a lifeline. "What is it?!"

"Try to minimize our presence and hope they don't remember us." Xing Tian chuckled self-deprecatingly. "We're like dancing on three eggs right now. The best thing to do is stay away from the three eggs."

"So whatever happens between them, neither of us should get involved, and it's best if they don't remember we even exist!"

"I understand!" Akagi nodded vigorously. "Brother Tian! We just need to wait until dawn tomorrow!"

Xing Tian's eyes were resolute. "That's right! As long as tomorrow brings daylight, everything will be alright! Keep going!"

Just then, the door opened.

Lu Li poked his head out of the house. "Could you two do me a favor? Two of my friends inside are having a cooking competition. Could you two be my judges?"

Looking at Lu Li's harmless smile, Xing Tian and Chi Mu exchanged bewildered glances.

Then I wanted to cry but couldn't.

Now I'm really going to be dancing on three eggs...
