Chapter 25 Orochiya? Uchiha Zihang?
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the game!"

Two senior members of the broadcasting club, one male and one female, acted as commentators. They passionately announced over the live broadcast, "The two teams facing off are the Shilan Middle School boys' basketball team and the Linhai Youth Sports School boys' basketball team!"

"The show is about to begin! First, let's invite the players from both teams to enter!"

The cheers from the stands were like thunder. Amid the passionate music and cheers, the players from both teams entered the field.

"The players are entering the field!" the male commentator said excitedly. "We can see that the players on both sides are still relatively calm. Even the Shilan team, who are behind in the score, have not shown any signs of decline!"

"Yes, this makes me even more excited for the performance of both teams in the second half!"

The female commentator next to him echoed, "And everyone can see that both teams' lineups have been adjusted. The Linhai team sent out their number one player, and the Shilan team also replaced their power forward who was in poor form in the first half..."

At this moment, Qi Xiuyuan looked at the light screen in front of him with a strange expression and eyes.

You're sparring with Sasuke, but through your newly acquired secret perception technique, you sense a gaze watching from the shadows. He steps out from the shadows, and it's the older brother of the naughty kid from a while ago. He's here to apologize on your brother's behalf, but he hopes to have a fair fight with you.

Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as a snake. This feeling was very familiar to you. You remembered that two years ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen led the team to uncover Orochimaru's hidden base for human experiments.

[The look Orochimaru gave you when he defected from Konoha left a lasting impression on you, leaving you with a deep sense of fear. Now, facing Orochimaru, who is very likely disguised as a Konoha ninja, what choice do you make...]

[Option 1: Cowardly and refusing to fight. Orochimaru cares about the Sharingan. As long as you remain as ordinary as before, you won't attract Orochimaru's attention and covetousness. (Reward: Ninjutsu Branch - B-Rank - Facial Disappearance Technique, dissolve and steal the face of others, and paste it on your own face to disguise yourself)]

[Option 2: Deliberately lose. Your acting skills might fool Orochimaru, and he might pretend to kill you accidentally, or he might show mercy. (Reward: Sealing Technique Branch - Rank A - Five Elements Sealing. This is an advanced sealing technique that concentrates chakra on five fingers and uses gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to seal monsters.)]

[Option 3: Fight with all your might. The best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on. You might be able to defeat Orochimaru, who is unable to use his full strength. (Reward: Ninjutsu Branch - A-Rank - Wind Style: Wind Cutting Technique. By changing the form and nature of chakra, sharp wind blades are attached to the body or weapon to cut the opponent.)]

"The naughty kid's brother... Orochimaru..."

Qi Xiuyuan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the number one player staring at him. Suddenly, without warning, he asked, "Who is Zhang Lei to you?"

"..." The man narrowed his eyes and opened and closed his mouth slightly. "My name is Zhang Shaojie, Zhang Lei is my younger brother. If I'm not mistaken, you are the one..."

"Oh."

Without waiting for Zhang Shaojie to say the following harsh words, Qi Xiuyuan nodded and looked away.

It shouldn't be him.

It can't be that just because the other person licked his lips when he saw him, he was "Orochimaru", right?

No matter how stupid the system is, it would not be possible to so easily judge the other party as "Orochimaru".

However, through these choices, he already knew that the rewards he received were related to the object of his choice, and the "Erasing Face Technique", a ninjutsu related to Orochimaru, had appeared for the second time.

The first time it appeared was after he chose to fight violence with violence and awaken the "conscience" of the naughty kid. It was a reward for choosing to take the initiative to kill the naughty kid's brother and put the blame on him before he came to the door.

From this point of view, the naughty kid's brother must be related to "Orochimaru". Even if the big fool in front of him is not "Orochimaru", he is also a "thing" similar to a controlled stand puppet, and may even be a hybrid.

So, who is the real "Orochimaru"?
Qi Xiuyuan slowly raised his head and looked towards the audience seats in the distance, and happened to meet a pair of black eyes.

The girl was wearing a purple miniskirt and white high-heeled boots, had a high ponytail, and her eyelids were painted with some glittery sequins.

At this moment, she was like dancing ballet, standing on tiptoe and looking over here nimbly, like a child who was curious about everything.

Only a dark shadow fell on the girl's shoulder. Qi Xiuyuan stood under the bright sunshine on the court. The mist-like light and shadow rustled down from above, dividing the two people into different tones of light and dark.

Facing Qi Xiuyuan's gaze, the girl seemed stunned for a moment, but soon bared her teeth, opening and closing her mouth with each word.

"Come on, senior brother," she said.

Qi Xiuyuan's mouth corners lifted slightly, and he smiled back at her, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The human brain is like a USB flash drive that is easily filled with garbage. If it is not cleaned for a long time, new memories will automatically erase the old ones.

However, for Qi Xiuyuan, whose memory is so strong that he can remember memories of his past life and has a photographic memory, this situation should not happen.

If others are junk USB flash drives, then he is a hard drive of dozens of terabytes. It is difficult to fill his brain with memories, and naturally he will not forget the memories of only fifteen years in this life.

However, that exception appeared.

Someone had tampered with his memory, and he was completely unaware of it. It wasn't until he saw the girl named Xia Mi with his own eyes that the demagnetized hard drive in his memory began to silently spin, its probe probing the long-worn grooves, recovering memories that had been hidden by the other person.

"Jörmungandr, the King of the Earth and Mountains." Qi Xiuyuan sighed, "If it was her, it would make sense for her to be identified as Orochimaru."

After all, Chu Zihang has been judged by the system as "Uchiha Sasuke" and changed to "Uchiha Zihang".

It's really weird that Xia Mi, who also covets Chu Zihang and whose true form is a snake, is judged as "Orochimaru".

Anyway, Orochimaru can be male or female.

But the term "Oshimi" really made Qi Xiuyuan feel a little funny.

But what is Xia Mi’s purpose?
Just like what Guangmu said, is it just a test?
"What are you looking at?"

Zhang Shaojie interrupted his thoughts, staring at him coldly with a cold look and sneering, "The court is not your stage. No matter how good you are at singing and dancing, it's useless."

Sure enough, the trash talk before the game was something to behold.

But Qi Xiuyuan didn't say anything back, just glanced at him.

How will "Oshiya" remotely control this big fool to test himself?
Beep! Beep!
While thinking, the referee put his index finger and thumb into his mouth, rolled up his tongue and blew a shrill and loud whistle.

In the first half, it was the Linhai team that got the ball, and in the second half, it was given to the Shilan team. Chu Zihang threw the ball into bounds and the basketball was directly passed to Qi Xiuyuan, which also allowed Qi Xiuyuan to concentrate his thoughts.

But when they saw Chu Zihang hand the ball to Qi Xiuyuan, many people present were stunned.

Who doesn't want to become famous by monopolizing the ball and producing impressive statistics? Why did Chu Zihang, the core of the team, pass the ball away?

"Hmph." Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but sneer, turning around and saying to his teammates behind him in a sarcastic tone, "Don't rush to intervene. I want to see how this pretty boy breaks through..."

Bang!Bang!
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Shaojie suddenly heard the sound of a basketball hitting the ground, and two figures passed by him on both sides at an unexpected speed.

Zhang Shaojie didn't even have time to turn his head back, and his arm blocked it almost subconsciously.

boom! !

The irresistible feeling of solidity made him stagger.

"What..." A trace of surprise and anger flashed across Zhang Shaojie's eyes, and he shouted, "Stop them!"

But he alone caught the attention of the other team members, and they had no time to react to the sudden fast break of the two.

Just when someone came to his senses and tried to steal the ball from Qi Xiuyuan.

呲!
The sneakers rubbed against the floor, making a harsh hissing sound.

Qi Xiuyuan stopped suddenly without even looking, and shot a jump shot with the ball in his hand. The basketball flew over the crowd and flew forward.

At this moment, Chu Zihang, who was not being guarded, had already approached the three-point line.

Take the basketball and look towards the basket.

Step back, avoid the obstruction of the person in front of you, and jump shot.

Swish! !

The basketball went into the basket, hit the ground with a bang, and then bounced back up.

"..."

The sudden change in the situation made the originally lively scene suddenly quiet. For a brief moment, the only sound that could be heard was the gradually dense sound of the basketball bouncing on the ground.

"A beautiful three-pointer from the top of the key! A beautiful hollow shot!" The male commentator stood up suddenly and shouted from the sidelines, "The Linhai team made a serious mistake. Their defense is useless!"

"The Shilan team's power forward dribbled the ball through and made an assist, which was like a loud slap in the face!"

"Five seconds into the show, it's unbelievable!"
