With guesses in his heart, Kieran jumped up into the air. When he glanced over the floor, he couldn't help but curl his lips into a grin.
The floor before his eyes and the ceiling above him were exactly the same.
Whether it was the structure or the materials used.
There was no difference!
"I knew it!
Whether it's the food or the ceiling and the floor, it's the same. The only difference is when I look up and down, my line of sight!
Which means, under the premise that the floor and the ceiling are the same … "
"When I look down, it's the kitchen on the lowest floor and when I look up, it's also the highest floor."
Kieran touched his chin and checked the First Seat's cafeteria again before heading to the highest floor of the cafeteria.
The cafeteria had a total of seven floors.
Other than the first to fourth floor, which was the public dining hall, the fifth floor was the First Seat and teachers' private dining hall, and the sixth floor was the professors' private dining hall. Most of the time, the professors wouldn't be here. The seventh floor was the banquet hall for special occasions or special events.
With Eiderburgh's permission, Kieran reached the highest floor without any hindrance.
The banquet hall without any decorations was even more spacious than before. The stage, tables, chairs, and chandeliers were all there.
Kieran walked around the walls and carefully checked the banquet hall.
Everything was normal!
Half an hour later, Kieran walked to the center of the banquet hall and squinted his eyes.
"If it's not here …"
"The rooftop?"
Kieran muttered softly before jumping up and launching a kick at the ceiling of the building.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use the stairs, but during his inspection, he didn't find any stairs leading to the rooftop.
Maybe there was some hidden prohibition, but Kieran didn't want to waste time going around in circles when he could reach the rooftop directly.
Knowledge was power.
However, muscle also represented power.
It was even purer!
Bang!
Kaboom!
After a loud bang, the roof of the banquet hall collapsed, forming a giant hole. Big chunks of cement started to fall, the steel bars were twisted and exposed.
An illusory figure stood in front of the door leading to the rooftop, looking at the hole that appeared out of nowhere with its mouth agape.
It had set this up countless times, but it had never seen anyone like this before.
Shouldn't the person go through a lot of hardships to reach it?
This kind of cheating method … What was it?
Seeing Kieran jump out of the hole, the illusory figure trembled violently a few times before gradually calming down. It did not speak, but images began to appear in its illusory body.
A tall and strong chef wielding a long knife was the first to appear on the screen.
Not only did he have superb culinary skills, but he was also very adventurous and innovative. After hunting many Confusion Realm wild beasts, he even created his own style.
However, an unexpected adventure had caused him to face an unprecedented enemy, an unimaginably powerful monster.
The chef used all his power, but he still couldn't defeat the monster. All he could do was seal the monster in a withered maze realm and burn it with fire, hoping that one day, the monster would be burned to death.
"In other words, the place where the monster is sealed is the cafeteria in Zone E?"
Kieran sized up the illusory man in front of him.
His face was old, and his clothes were simple yet gorgeous.
Even though it was just a phantom, it had an extraordinary aura.
"Yes, young man."
"Are you willing to be his successor?"
The phantom asked.
"Successor?"
Kieran asked back.
"Yes, successor!
Inherit his will, his skills, and complete what he couldn't. "
The illusory figure nodded and raised his hand. An illusory door appeared in front of Kieran.
"Go in and you will get everything he has, you will …"
"No, thank you."
Kieran shook his head right away.
The phantom was stunned.
Ever since it was born with intellect, it had never seen anyone like Kieran.
Most of the people who came before it after going through many obstacles, and when the door appeared, all of them eagerly entered.
Maybe they would hesitate, but in the end, they wouldn't change the outcome.
This guy before it …
A bad feeling rose in its heart, but the phantom didn't give up.
It had been starving for a long time now.
It couldn't hold on any longer.
"Do you know what you rejected?
Do you know what you will get?
Do you know what it means for you to enter? "
The phantom asked repeatedly.
It hoped that it could encourage Kieran to join in, just like the others in the past, but it realized that after its series of questions, Kieran wasn't moved at all. Instead, he nodded seriously and answered its questions meticulously.
"Rejected danger!"
"Obtained stupidity!"
"Represents becoming shit!"
"You … How did you know?"
The phantom asked blankly after being exposed.
"Right after Eiderburgh told me about the legend of the cafeteria, an anomaly appeared in front of me, and it's the kind of anomaly with obvious signs. I can't help but suspect that someone is manipulating this because it's too much of a coincidence!"
Kieran said slowly.
"Just because of that?
Shouldn't you be suspecting the beheader in the cafeteria?
It just happened to appear there, so it should be the one you suspect! "
The phantom asked in confusion.
It was very confident in its own setup.
Everything seemed to be a coincidence, causing one to unknowingly step into its setup. When greed blinded one's rationality, its setup was perfect.
"It?"
"The taste is not bad."
Kieran said.
"The taste?
What did you do to it? "
In order to numb its prey and prevent it from noticing, other than the initial contact, the phantom didn't sense its prey's movements at all.
Therefore, it had no idea what happened to the beheader in the cafeteria.
"Take a guess."
Kieran said with a smile. Gluttony who had been waiting eagerly jumped out from the shadows like a hungry tiger pouncing down a mountain, pressing the illusory figure on the ground.
However, without Kieran's order, Gluttony didn't move his mouth.
However, Gluttony widened his mouth and saliva flowed out uncontrollably, landing on the phantom.
Tsss!
Amidst the corrosive sound of concentrated sulfuric acid, the shadow trembled, and just like that, a piece of it disappeared.
"Aaaargh!
What kind of monster is this?!
"Get it to let go of me!"
The illusory figure howled loudly.
"I won't let you go, but if you are willing to tell me what the real secret of the cafeteria is, I can let you leave in a dignified manner."
"How did you know I know …"
The phantom was shocked.
"No one appeared for a long time, so it means you are working alone. That beheader in the cafeteria is just something you used to confuse the public."
"Then …"
"Without a mastermind behind the scenes and you acting alone, you must have known something and followed the flow. It's impossible for you to make up a legend and set up your own setup."
"Because you don't have that kind of ability."
