In any case, this was just the beginning of the trial.
The main mission had been released early on, and the goal was clear.
This time, it didn't seem like there were many twists and turns. It was purely an escape mission.
In other words, the relationship between apostles didn't have a clear conflict of interest.
Therefore, Irin didn't reject his deskmate's goodwill.
Everyone knew about the relationship between apostles. When it was time to turn hostile, they would turn hostile without hesitation. When it was time to flip the table, they would flip the table. The goodwill now didn't have much meaning.
"Lin Lin?"
The girl hesitated for a moment before asking in a small voice.
Irin was slightly startled.
Her deskmate seemed to have seen through Yi Lin's doubts. She pursed her lips and smiled, showing her backpack to Yi Lin.
There was a label on the back of the brand new backpack.
— — "Tian Tian".
Irin: "…"
He immediately took out his backpack and looked carefully. Sure enough, there was a label on his own backpack.
— — "Lin Lin".
This kind of adorable style almost made Yi Lin spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Tian Tian laughed softly and said, "Add me as a friend?"
Irin thought for a moment and said, "En, okay, wait a moment."
The girl called Tian Tian's expression froze, but she covered her mouth and smiled without saying anything.
The conversation between the two was filled with the sour smell of youth.
The conversation with his deskmate ended in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
On the desk, the homeroom teacher was already writing on the blackboard.
Irin indeed didn't notice the words on the backpack, but Tian Tian, who was walking behind Irin, read Irin's name from his backpack.
Of course, it was a cute nickname.
Irin shook his head helplessly. He felt a lot of complaints in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
Styx Junior High … En, let's not talk about this name for now. It was clearly an elementary school, but what was up with this kindergarten style backpack and style?
Wasn't it too harmonious?
Irin lowered his head and thought.
Thinking about the mission.
Escape?
Based on past experience, escape missions usually placed the apostles in a relatively harsh environment. If the environment was not harsh enough or not sealed enough, the apostles would not be able to escape.
Although the scene in front of him was very strange, Irin did not dare to let his guard down.
Did this mean that under this seemingly harmonious painting style, there were hidden turbulent waves that no one knew about?
According to Tower's wicked sense of humor, the weirder the opening, the more shocking the turn of events would be.
Just as Irin was thinking carefully.
Tiantian's deskmate nudged Irin.
Irin looked up.
The homeroom teacher at the lectern was looking at Irin with a dignified gaze.
At this time, Irin also noticed that what was written on the blackboard was not words, nor was it a formula. Instead, it was a very detailed anatomical diagram of the human body. It was so detailed that every muscle, blood vessels, nerves, bones, and everything else was on it. Irin could not help but sigh at the teacher's versatility.
You must be teaching art!
'Wait a minute, now isn't the time to be admiring the painting.'
Irin was puzzled. What class was this?
Anatomy?
Human biology?
Was it so realistic?
Could middle school students understand the human body to this extent?
Although it was just a rough look, Irin had a certain understanding of the human body's structure. With his semi-professional eyes, it was not difficult for him to tell that the anatomical diagram drawn by the homeroom teacher was very professional. It was clear and had the style of a master.
Tiantian also had a strange expression on her face. He did not know what she had heard.
At this moment, something strange happened.
The homeroom teacher stared at Irin for a few seconds.
Originally, Irin seemed to have guessed how the drama was going to unfold. However, Tower did not do as he wished. With a series of prompts, Irin's thoughts were immediately overturned.
[The homeroom teacher noticed you.]
[He noticed that you seem to be flirting with your deskmate.]
[The homeroom teacher was in a strange mood today. When he asked a simple question in class, everyone raised their hands, except for … you.]
Irin: "?"
"This is … a voice-over?"
The moment the voice-over appeared, Irin thought about the few strange paragraphs in the beginning of the mission again.
When those prompts were connected with the voice-over that appeared in front of him, Irin suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.
"Could it be the legendary scam mode?"
Irin remembered that "in the past" in the apostle forum, someone had made a post saying that he had survived a strange and scam mode (self-named) called [Multiple Choice Question QTE Mode].
This mode had once caused a lot of discussion in the apostle forum.
To what extent was it scam?
In this type of trial, from small things like walking to big things like killing monsters, it was like a turn-based game. It was also like a text adventure game. There were all kinds of branching options. Once one made a wrong choice, it would lead to a very unexpected result.
It was possible to be high-spirited one second and make a wrong choice the next second. For no reason at all, one would rise to the sky on the spot and fall to the ground at the speed of light and become a crate.
For this type of mode, it was unknown whether it was because there were not many people who had experienced it or because there were not many people who had survived this type of scam mode. There was actually no one who came up with a detailed summary and strategy.
There was also a saying that only a team with a low luck value would be assigned to this type of mode at the same time and have a thrilling escape.
Although Yi Lin had only come to this conclusion based on his past memories, according to the inexplicable narration, as well as the initial mission hint … Yes, and his current Luck attribute, he guessed that the mode of their trial this time was pretty close to the mark.
While Irin's mind was quickly thinking, the voice-over continued to appear in front of Irin's eyes.
He glanced at the other transfer students and saw that their expressions did not change. Irin's expression was calm as if he was thinking about something.
Huh?
Why did the girl in the corner look a bit familiar?
[The homeroom teacher of the third year class two, Ambersha, seriously thought for a second.]
[He thought that he was working hard to teach at the table, but you were not enthusiastic in answering his questions. There were even people who openly flirted with girls. The homeroom teacher was furious.]
Irin: "?"
Ambersha?
What a strange name.
[So, he decided to choose the most unlucky child on the surface to answer this simple question.]
Irin looked at the voice-over and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Could it be seen from the face whether one was unlucky or not?
A second after the last voice-over appeared.
As expected.
The homeroom teacher raised his eyebrows and coughed twice. The gaze that stared at Irin seemed to have solidified.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, like a sword, like a knife.
The homeroom teacher Ambersha smiled slightly and said, "Lin Lin, please stop your actions and stand up."
Irin helplessly stood up.
He felt that the name "Lin Lin" was far more difficult to accept than "Elisabeth Lin".
"Please answer this question based on what you know."
"Okay."
Everyone's gaze fell on the unlucky Irin.
For some reason, Irin felt that there was a trace of strangeness in the other people's gazes.
The other four apostles observed Irin seriously at the same time.
After all, when Yi Lin got up after the trial began, she had truly interacted with the trial. Perhaps she would be able to obtain some information from this observation.
Swish.
Everyone instantly quieted down.
"As everyone knows, the meat of the vaporized giants is delicious and plump. Let me test you. Do you know which part of the vaporized giants' meat is most suitable to be made into a 'Queen Worm with Shredded Meat Salad'?"
Irin: "…"
“！”
“！！”
“？？？”
"…"
The moment Ambersha asked the question.
In front of him.
A prompt appeared again.
But this time, the prompt that appeared was not [Voice-Over].
But —
[Choice]!
[Please choose.]
[A, the tendon of the upper third of the inner thigh.]
[B, the tender meat with the skin on the back of the neck cut into thin slices with knife skills and chilled.]
[C, how would I know if I haven't eaten it!]
After Ambersha asked the question.
Irin's deskmate, the girl who called herself Xiao Tiantian, suddenly turned pale. It seemed that her imagination was too rich and she associated it with some dark cuisine.
And in the class, other than the five pitiful apostles, the other students showed an expression of "so simple". It was almost obvious on their faces. There was even someone who raised his hand and waved it in front of Teacher Ambersha, as if he hoped that Teacher Ambersha would let him answer this extremely simple question.
Irin did not have time to care about the expressions of the others.
Because the moment the choice appeared, Irin had already discovered something fishy.
And … where the danger was.
So that was it.
So this was the meaning of those prompts.
It seemed that the others had not discovered this point yet.
Irin's heart suddenly understood.
Ambersha's expression became more and more unfriendly.
Irin had a feeling that if he did not make a choice soon, there would be terrible consequences.
"Every choice we make will determine our fate?" Us? Every step? Hehe, this cheating mode … is a bit interesting. "
Three seconds later.
Logically speaking.
This question was one that Irin definitely did not know the answer to.
According to the iron rule of multiple choice questions, if he did not know, he would choose C.
But this C option, it seemed, seemed, perhaps, gave Irin a feeling that if he chose it, there might be a problem.
As a result, Irin chose to follow his heart. Full of confidence, he loudly answered.
"I choose B! Uh, no … "The moment he said" B ", Ambersha's expression froze.
Irin instantly reacted. In other words, these three [Options] could only be seen by the apostles. As a result, Irin immediately changed his words smoothly, "I am saying that in the Vaporized Giant race, as everyone knows, only the back of the neck and spine, cut into translucent slices with exquisite knife skills, is the true essence."
As Irin spoke, he narrowed his eyes. His expression was intoxicated. Thinking back to the feeling of being massaged by Ruth, he quickly entered the role, "You know, the thin slices cut with exquisite knife skills, after chilling, together with the Queen Bug's endless aftertaste, even if it is made into the simplest salad, it seems to be able to sublimate the soul. It gives one a feeling of traveling through the past and the future."
"I believe that this is the best choice."
"You have to know that the best ingredients often only require the simplest cooking method."
"I firmly believe that this is the best dish for me."
"Perhaps others will have different opinions, but some people's tastes will always be different from others, right?"
After Irin finished speaking, he used a confident expression to look at Ambersha, "Can I sit down? Teacher Ambersha. "
In an instant, not a sound could be heard.
"Retch —"
Beside him, Tiantian's throat released waves of retching sounds.
Clap clap clap clap clap —
But after Ambersha smiled and gestured for Irin to sit down, in an instant, the entire 3-2 classroom burst into thunderous applause, covering up Tiantian's retching sounds.
Irin let out a sigh of relief.
But then, the notifications that appeared before his eyes repeatedly made him feel that something was wrong.
[Because your answer resonated with Di Bo, Di Bo's favorability + 5!]
[Because your answer resonated with Julia, Julia's favorable impression of you + 7!]
[Because your answer …]
A series of "+ N" drowned out Irin's vision.
“？？？”
Because Tiantian's imagination was too rich, she retched as if she was in early pregnancy.
But she quickly reacted. After all, to be able to reach this step, it was impossible for her not to notice the strangeness of this opening.
She immediately put on an excited expression and clapped hard with the rhythm of the others.
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. It was full of rhythm.
After going through this, Yi Lin seemed to have grasped some knack.
Irin kept feeling that something was wrong with those messy favorability points.
If this was also part of the choice, then it was very likely that there would be more uncontrollable trajectories because of this change in favorability.
As he analyzed, Irin began to feel a headache.
After Irin answered the questions, Ambersha's homeroom teacher didn't go so far as to make the other pink transfer students come out one by one.
Perhaps this was meaningless.
The lecture continued.
After Irin valiantly sat down, he suddenly felt the Brand of Death on his chest vibrate slightly.
"Hm?"
It was common knowledge among apostles that the apostles' communication function couldn't be used to cross worlds.
In other words, the only ones who could send out messages in the inner world's trial were those who were in the same trial and added to their contacts. Only then could they contact each other.
Irin's expression didn't change as he quickly opened the communication panel.
"Oda Wu?"
Irin's heart was slightly shocked.
What a coincidence?
It seemed like Oda Wu's level was very close to his.
Moreover, her luck attribute probably wasn't high, or else they wouldn't have been so coincidentally placed in the same damn trial.
Irin thought about the girl he felt was familiar with.
It was actually her.
Oda Wu's facial features weren't very recognizable, so after she "turned cute", Irin didn't recognize her at first glance. He only felt that she was a bit familiar.
Now that he thought about it, Irin felt that it wasn't Oda Wu's face that was familiar, but rather that unapproachable icy temperament, as if she would pull out a knife and stab him at any moment.
It seemed that Oda Wu had recognized him through the name "Linlin" and his vaguely recognizable facial features.
In the communication panel.
Oda Wu didn't say anything. She only slowly typed out a question mark.
Oda Wu:?
Irin: Hm.
Oda Wu: Oh.
Irin:???
Oda Wu: No.
Irin: …
The two awkwardly chatted for a bit.
Irin hesitated for a moment, but still decided to give Oda Wu a simple reminder.
Irin: Don't let anyone else know that we know each other for now.
Oda Wu:?
Irin: It's convenient to trick people.
Oda Wu: Understood.
The conversation ended here.
Irin was very satisfied with this kind of simple and clear conversation.
It wasn't like the bickering with Gu Tianqing, where there were no important points and they had to be on guard against each other.
Irin didn't expect Oda Wu to be here too. Although the two didn't have a very good relationship, they were still in a difficult situation. They wouldn't stab each other until the very last moment.
Finally, this lively and unique "anatomy class" finally ended.
Irin stood up. The students had already left, chatting and laughing.
Hm, this kind of rhythm was still considered normal.
If that little bit of favorable impression points caused the storyline to continue, it would be even more terrifying.
Soon.
There were only five apostles left in the classroom. They all looked at each other.
Irin was unperturbed. He didn't care about what the others thought. He looked at the apostle panel again.
Just now, Ambersa's question was too sudden. Irin didn't have time to look at the buff icon that he cared about.
— — That "cute rabbit buff".
A strange beginning, a strange buff. Any apostle who wasn't so stupid would be able to see that this buff was the key problem.
The rabbit icon was indeed very cute. It was so cute that it made people want to dig it out of the panel.
Irin reached out his hand to dig it out.
Of course, he didn't dig it out.
But the moment his finger touched the buff icon, a timer appeared.
【70:04:33】。
"Hehe, countdown."
What would happen when the "cute rabbit buff" countdown ended?
Would he rise to the sky on the spot and turn into a box when he landed?
Irin thought for a moment. A few seconds later, he rejected this idea.
If that was the case, then this escape mission didn't have to be so superfluous. There was no need to "stop until death".
In other words, after the "cute rabbit buff" countdown ended, there would definitely be some kind of shocking change. It could be very tragic, or it could be broken. Before the buff countdown ended, no one knew the result.
However, it was likely that no one wanted to personally experience what kind of situation it would be if they were to face this outcome.
After the observation, Irin felt that he couldn't come up with any other conclusions. He closed the panel.
And while Irin was looking at the buff icon and countdown, the other four apostles were still staring at each other. No one spoke.
Irin felt that it was a little funny.
Of course, they hadn't made a "choice" yet. They probably didn't understand how ridiculous this trial was.
Irin silently placed his bag on the table. At an angle where everyone could see, he presented it in front of the other apostles.
The others immediately understood.
Then, everyone used this strange method to introduce themselves.
At the beginning of this trial, the identities of the five apostles were already in the open. But in the escape trial, there wasn't much need to hide the apostles' identities.
Other than Irin, the other people's bags had the following words written on them:
"Tian Tian", "Wu Wu", "Han Han", "Liu Liu".
Uh, no matter what, Irin felt that it was a little weird.
A total of three girls and two guys. After Irin memorized their assigned code names, they looked at each other and didn't say anything. They left separately.
By the way, among the remaining four, the only other male student was silly, ah no, Han Han.
It was a man with half an inch of hair and ordinary facial features.
The other girl, Liu Liu, smiled shyly and didn't say anything.
Before knowing what would happen next, Irin didn't expose the fact that he knew Oda Wu. He picked up his bag and left the classroom.
According to the class schedule, it was lunch break now. There were about three hours of free time.
After lunch break, there was a strange class.
— — "Advanced Theory".
It didn't seem like a big problem.
But now wasn't the time to think about the afternoon.
In the apostle panel, the cute rabbit buff on the upper right corner only had about 70 hours left. At most, there were only three days left.
The others probably noticed this too. They all had different expressions.
Oda Wu still had that cold expressionless face. No one could guess what she was thinking.
Irin walked out while sending a simple message about his experience in class to Oda Wu.
It was the first step of expressing his sincerity.
But Irin didn't say anything about the specific speculations of the trial.
Oda Wu was not a fool. Irin didn't dare to say that his speculations were 100% correct. If he directly told his conclusion, it might limit Oda Wu's train of thought. Then it would be a waste of the advantage of exchanging information in the trial.
Irin just reminded her: Be careful of multiple-choice questions.
Oda Wu didn't reply. This was very much like her temperament.
When he walked out of the classroom, his deskmate Tiantian came over.
"I say, Brother Ling …"
Before she could finish, Irin smiled and interrupted, "Don't call me Brother. Maybe you're older than me. Oh, I'm talking about age."
Tiantian: "…"
Irin took a few more steps.
He didn't expect Tiantian to be so persistent. But she didn't dare to get too close. Instead, she kept a subtle distance and asked again, "Just now in the class, did Brother Ling find something special? Can you … tell me a little? "
Irin turned his head.
He felt that this woman's brain wasn't very good. Why, am I familiar with you?
But when Irin took two more steps.
He suddenly froze in place.
Irin said casually, "You don't need to tell me, you'll know soon."
Tiantian was stunned. "Soon?"
A second later, she also froze in place. At this moment, she couldn't even move her fingers.
Oda Wu, Han Han, and Liuliu stepped out of the classroom one after another.
The moment they stepped out of the classroom, they found that Irin and Tiantian's posture was slightly ambiguous.
Irin's back was fixed in place like the wind.
And Tiantian walked behind Irin, reaching out a small hand to Irin's back. It was as if she could reach out and touch him. Tiantian looked at Irin's back, her face showing a bitter expression … This sad and beautiful picture, at this moment, froze.
Oda Wu: "?"
Han Han: "???"
Liuliu: "…?"
Ah?
Love came so suddenly and so quickly?
They didn't even have time to express their doubts. A few seconds later, the three of them also froze in place.
Let's not talk about the others first.
Just a few steps after Irin stepped out of the classroom, the refreshing [Narration] appeared in front of him again.
[As a young transfer student, you happily communicated with the other new students. After introducing yourself, you felt a little hungry, so you left the classroom.]
[When you stepped out of the classroom, you, who had nothing to do, began to hesitate.]
[You're not familiar with this Styx, and you don't know anyone else. You don't even know how to spend this rare free time.]
[So you will —]
[Please make a choice.]
[A, as a new transfer student, I'm not familiar with the environment. I accidentally got lost and ran to the school gate. It's not too much, right?]
[B, if I'm hungry, I won't go to the cafeteria to eat. Is there something wrong with my brain? Even the gods can't stop me!]
[C, the rooftop of every school is always filled with all kinds of legends or romantic encounters in all kinds of positions. Isn't it only right for me to try my luck?]
Hiss —
When Irin saw the three strange options, he couldn't help but gasp.
The five transfer students seemed to have suffered from "difficulty in choosing, reading, and thinking" at this moment. They froze in the corridor at the same time, not daring to move.
Irin even tried to activate his skill.
But he found that as long as he didn't make a choice, he couldn't even activate his skill. At this moment, time and space froze, and they were fixed in place.
Among the five of them.
Irin suddenly heard movement behind him.
Someone had made a choice.
There wasn't much time to hesitate. Irin didn't dare to risk leaving his back to anyone when he couldn't move. After hesitating for less than half a second, Irin made a choice.
He followed his heart.
"Choice B."
