When Orosoga walked out of the crowd, the atmosphere became even more complicated. This tall and thin man with dark skin, shaved head, and a unique gleam in his eyes, was dressed in a loose silk robe and straw sandals, which seemed out of place in the low temperatures of London in the autumn and winter seasons.
Yū explained in a low voice, "This guy, Orosoga, is an expert in the study of religious beliefs. But his way of doing things... well, it can be quite strange. He seems easygoing and good at socializing, but in reality, he always has his own plans. His ability to easily build relationships with people is a double-edged sword for the association."
Oman looked at Eurusoja, this mysterious and unusual figure, walking towards Lao Zhong, Kasandro, and Max, shaking hands with them. In his actions, one could sense a confident yet provocative demeanor. Xiong Yi's words made Oman curious, but also somewhat worried. He began to ponder what kind of impact such a figure joining the expedition team would have on this mission.
Oman looked back at Xiong Yi, trying to find answers from his dissatisfied gaze. But at this moment, his heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the upcoming adventure, as well as curiosity about this new, unknown Eurusoja.
When Nicholas was about to announce the name of the final member of the expedition team, a tense atmosphere permeated the crowd. Some people seemed to have a nonchalant attitude about whether they would be chosen, but at the same time, they were curious about the impending name. Oman told himself not to care too much about the outcome, but deep down, he still yearned to be part of this expedition team.
Nicholas set down the folder in his hand, gently took off his glasses, and then looked up at each member present. His voice carried a hint of solemnity: "After discussing with Elisa, we have decided on the final selection. We found that in our past experiences, we often stuck to existing thought patterns. Perhaps we need some new vitality to awaken us 'old folks'." At this point, Nicholas smiled slightly, and his smile created a relaxed atmosphere among the crowd.
With Nicholas's words echoing in the air, the atmosphere in the entire research institute turned into a fusion of anticipation and tension. Oman's heart raced, and like those around him, his gaze was firmly fixed on Nicholas. Beside him, Max, Yuki, and Tang Jie also appeared particularly focused, as if the whole world had frozen in this moment.
Nicholas's gaze slowly swept through the crowd, his expression solemn and grave. He took a deep breath and continued, "When choosing the final member, we considered many factors. We need not only experience and skills, but also new perspectives and ways of thinking. This expedition will be a challenge into the unknown, and we need people who can accept new things and are brave enough to explore."
He paused, seemingly to add weight to the revelation, and then continued, "So, after careful consideration, the final member to join the expedition is—" Nicholas paused for a moment, and everyone held their breath.
"Oman," Nicholas's voice rang out, clear and resolute.
At that moment, Oman felt a sense of shock and disbelief. He could hardly believe his ears as his name was spoken by Nicholas. His heart pounded fiercely, and for a moment, he didn't know how to react. People around him began to whisper, some in astonishment, others in congratulations.
As Nicholas's voice echoed in the air, announcing Oman as the final member of the expedition team, Oman felt a wave of unreality. He stood in place, almost unable to believe his ears, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning and unable to move.
Yūichi noticed Oman's shock and walked over with a smile, patting his shoulder to break the brief deadlock. Encouragingly, he said, "Oman! It's you!" With that, Yūichi gave Oman a strong hug, conveying his congratulations and support.
Other members of the exploration team also expressed their congratulations, their attitudes both warm and enthusiastic. Carlos was particularly excited, giving Oman a kiss on the cheek and then a encouraging pat, prompting him to approach Nicholas. Oman was still digesting the news, but Carlos's actions helped him regain some composure.
As Oman slowly made his way through the crowd, heading towards Nicholas and the other members of the expedition team, the people around him looked on with surprise and curiosity. What they saw was a young scholar, a newcomer who had recently joined the association, now about to embark on an unimaginable adventure.
As Oman approached the members of the expedition team, he felt an unprecedented sense of belonging and excitement. Every member's face showed welcome and affirmation. Lao Zhong and Kasandro smiled and nodded at Oman, expressing their approval and anticipation for this new member.
Max, his mentor and supporter, could not contain his excitement. He tightly embraced Oman and whispered in his ear, "I knew you could do it!" These words filled Oman with warmth and encouragement, and he hugged Max tightly in return, feeling deeply grateful.
On the other hand, Euruscag gave Oman a deep, penetrating look, then flashed a gentle smile and said, "Welcome!" It seemed that he had other expectations for Oman.
Finally, Oman walked up to Nicholas and Elisa. Elisa nodded at him with a confident look, indicating her trust and expectation in him. Oman shook hands with Nicholas, feeling the encouragement and strength from the leader of the association. At this crucial moment, Oman realized that he was standing at a new starting point in life, ready to embark on a journey full of challenges and adventures.
As the handshake ended, Oman stood in line with the other members of the expedition, filled with excitement and anticipation. He knew that this would be a new beginning in his life, and an adventure full of unknowns was about to unfold.
