In the end, Irin still tried his best to suppress Oda Wu's urge to use the knife on him.
Through some means, Irin also confirmed that there was a strange-shaped egg lying on Oda Wu's back.
The egg gave Yi Lin the feeling that it was some kind of parasite that was sleeping behind them.
He still did not have enough information to deduce what would happen if the egg was forcefully removed.
"Is this the reason why the five of us, uh, four of us, appeared in Styx Junior High School?"
"What is this school hiding?"
Irin walked on the road.
Oda Wu silently followed behind him.
The two of them were silent.
When Oda Wu made that suggestion, Irin did have a moment of impulse.
After all, the knife would not fall on him.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Moreover, during the day, when he increased Saya's favorability to the highest level, the information that Saya gave back also made Irin very concerned.
Irin and Oda Wu gradually walked away from the gate.
Styx Junior High School covered a large area. If Irin had not taken Saya for a walk during the day and memorized part of the map, he would have definitely gotten lost at night. There was no other possibility.
After Oda Wu learned that there was an egg lying on her back, she did not seem to have any other plans. She silently followed Irin for a few steps and followed his every step.
Although she did not say it, during the incident in Huating City, Irin used a series of methods to find Zhang Huichun, which left a deep impression on her. In this situation where a knife could not solve the problem, it was not a bad idea to rely a little on this insidious man in front of her.
Irin did not know that Oda Wu's silence had secretly labeled him as "insidious". It was really an injustice.
"The style of your clothes just now … is a little unique."
Irin had nothing to say. Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, he casually found a topic to break the silence.
"Bandage."
Crack.
Oda Wu's eyelids lifted slightly, and she involuntarily flicked the long knife half an inch.
"Shh —"
Yi Lin suddenly slowed down his footsteps.
Oda Wu was confused.
Irin did not pay any attention to Oda Wu. He just stared at the grove in front of him and called out softly in the dark night, "Saya, Saya, Saya."
Not long after he finished speaking.
A young girl in a cute little skirt ran cheerfully from the dark woods straight toward Irin.
"Oh, my dear Senior Ling!"
Oda Mai stood behind Irin.
He looked at Irin, then at Saya, who was almost hanging on Irin's arm. He looked at Irin, Saya, Irin, and Saya. His gaze was erratic.
Finally.
She couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"
"To be honest, this is a sad story."
He couldn't tell Oda Wu that all of this started with a plate of dark cuisine that couldn't be eaten, and then reached the climax with a seafood feast.
In short, he had settled Saya.
He raised Saya's favorability to the maximum, to the point where it could not go any higher.
The process was not important.
At first, he didn't expect that the "seafood food" he brought back from the Caribbean trip would be so attractive to the students of this school.
Of course, there might be other ways to attack an NPC, but Irin had undoubtedly taken a shortcut.
There was a good saying: Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.
Because of his "misfortune", he drew the "Sea Monster Tentacle", but in a different situation, it became a "lucky item".
It seemed that what someone said before was true. In the Inner World, there were many kinds of items, but there was no absolute trash, and no absolutely useless equipment.
During the day, there were many actions that could not be performed in broad daylight.
That was why Irin asked Saya to act together in the middle of the night.
Of course, he did not completely believe in this so-called favorability and still maintained a certain level of vigilance toward Saya.
But for now, this was indeed the simplest and fastest way to obtain information. There was no reason not to use it.
After the favorability was raised to the maximum, Saya ignored the existence of the "school rules" and agreed to Irin's late-night rendezvous.
Saya looked at Irin eagerly, pouted, and drooled. "Senpai, Saya wants …"
Oda Wu raised her eyebrows.
As if performing magic, Irin quickly took out the last [Rotten Sea Monster Tentacle] from his inventory.
Saya's eyes suddenly lit up. In the darkness, her eyes were emitting a green light, which was very strange.
Irin carefully took a section and stuffed it into Saya's mouth.
Fortunately, there was enough [Rotten Sea Monster Tentacle]. If it was a snack, he could stuff it in little by little, so Saya would not finish it in one gulp.
[Saya has been thoroughly trained by you. You've given her too much.]
The narration popped up again.
It seemed that the favorability had indeed reached the maximum, and there was no more room for improvement.
After Saya finished eating a section of the tentacle with a unique taste, she looked like she wanted more, but the green light in her eyes faded and returned to normal.
Oda Wu looked at the scene in front of her and finally understood what method Yi Lin had used to completely tame this … student.
Irin put away the tentacle.
He wiped the squid juice off his hands on the grass and looked back. He saw that Oda Wu had unknowingly taken a few steps away from him. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why did you run so far away?"
Oda Wu said matter-of-factly, "It smells bad."
Irin was speechless.
'I didn't want to, okay?!'
After satisfying Saya's appetite, the three of them finally set off again.
Oda Wu followed silently.
She vaguely understood that Irin did not come out in the middle of the night just to stop her from attacking Baldy.
Irin had already raised Saya's favorability and arranged a time and place to meet Saya in advance. It seemed that Irin had already planned this.
'This sinister man.'
Oda Wu thought to herself.
Irin did not know what Oda Wu was thinking. If he knew, he might fight with this woman who did not know what was good for her.
Away from the gate, Yi Lin brought Saya and Oda Wu to another corner of the campus.
There was a wall in front of them.
A wall.
They had arrived at the edge of the River Styx.
Other than the main gate, the entire school was surrounded by an old wall. Irin had already confirmed that there were no other exits.
Irin looked up, paused for a moment, and then said to Saya.
"Saya, can you climb the wall to get out?"
"Get out?" Saya tilted her head, and her hair drooped down. She was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"You have to climb up from here and then jump out."
In Saya's mind, she did not even have the concept of "getting out", let alone not allowing it.
Why?
Irin was in a hurry during the day, so Irin did not mention this. Saya's reaction now made Irin feel more and more strange.
"Why?"
"Why can't I get out?"
"Why?"
"…"
Saya kept repeating those three words.
It made it difficult for Irin to communicate.
It was like falling into an endless loop.
Irin could only take out his trump card. "Do you want to eat?"
"Saya wants to eat."
"Then climb out of here. I'll give you all the good food, a lot."
Such a tone made Oda Wu look at Irin a few more times. She suppressed the urge to draw her sword.
"Why do you have to 'get out'?"
When such a topic was brought up, Saya fell into an endless loop again.
Although Saya's adorable character design might have been a cute point in other dramas, Saya's character design might have been a cute point.
But in this situation, it was extremely horrifying.
However, Irin and Oda Wu just looked at each other. They were not scared by this strange situation.
Irin felt helpless.
Oda Wu even put her hand on the hilt of her sword, wanting to see if she could create a miracle with her strength.
"It's not that easy."
Irin sighed.
"Hmm?"
After Irin sighed, he quickly smiled and whispered to Oda Wu, "Think about it. I'm just curious. It's true that we can't go in and out of the gate, but what about climbing over the wall? And the concept of 'escaping from Styx Junior High' mentioned in the mission, what is the standard? I've always been concerned about this. "
Oda Wu was silent for a moment and nodded. She did not understand, but she felt that it was awesome.
Irin did not hide his doubts. Although Oda Wu's brain did not seem to be as good as a sword, with another person to discuss it with, they might be able to provide an alternative solution.
"If this' Styx Junior High 'is limited to the perimeter of the wall, then climbing over the wall and leaving the perimeter of the wall counts as completing the mission?"
"Or, there's actually a large sea behind the wall. Even if we climb over the wall, we still have to swim across the sea to complete the mission?"
For example, Irin had heard a joke before.
Rich Second Generation: This is my home.
Dragon King: Ah, your home doesn't look big.
Rich Second Generation: It's not big. It's just that if you look from here, you'll see the end of the mountain. This entire place is my yard.
Dragon King vomited blood and died.
This was a sad story.
Irin was somewhat worried that beyond this so-called 'Styx Junior High' was a vast and boundless' yard '.
Oda Wu was slightly taken aback.
She subconsciously felt that this was ridiculous. But when she thought about it carefully, it did not seem completely impossible.
After all, she had been through many trials herself. Although she had survived to this day by relying on Ming, she had also experienced the strangeness of the missions.
For example, if Wen Manni hadn't taken the initiative to sacrifice herself and take the title of 'Ghost King', she would never have imagined that she would be promoted to a Ghost King after her ghost energy had accumulated to the maximum. She would have transformed from an apostle to the final boss of the trial.
Irin smiled, "Of course, I'm just giving an example. The truth isn't that exaggerated. But if someone wants to do an experiment, there's no doubt that others will take the initiative to try it out. It's not necessarily a bad idea. I believe that I'm not the only one who has thought of this. "
"But judging from Saya's reaction, things aren't as simple as they seem."
With that, Irin lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Oda Wu also remained silent.
However, she was hesitating. Should she cut off Saya's limbs at lightning speed, turn her into a human stick, and then throw her outside the wall to see if she would die? She would know the answer then.
Hmm, should she give it a try?
Oda Wu was restless.
But unexpectedly, Irin had already finished thinking. He had already begun to roll up his sleeves and walk towards the wall.
"Don't chop randomly. I can't predict the consequences."
Irin reminded her seriously.
"Then what about you?"
Oda Wu could not understand Irin's actions.
"I can take a beating." Irin smiled and then added, "Also, I'm only climbing up the wall to look at the scenery. I'm not crossing the line, so it's not against the rules."
Oda Wu instantly understood. That made sense.
The wall was not high.
With the entry requirements of an apostle, as long as one's legs were not crippled, this wall should not be a problem.
Then the question was, what exactly was blocking the 'exit'?
Irin could only find the answer himself.
After climbing up the wall, Irin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
[You've violated the 'school rules' and climbed up the wall.]
[You desire freedom.]
[Although you clearly don't understand what true freedom is.]
[You're still hesitating on the wall.]
[Do you want to leave from here?]
[You're very decisive.]
[Please make a choice.]
[A, after going through so much trouble to climb up the wall, isn't it normal to jump forward and get out?]
[B, don't hesitate. I'm very decisive. I follow my heart. I want to leave.]
[C, I've already climbed up the wall. Is there something wrong with me if I don't leave?]
Irin: "…"
He was not surprised by the choices.
At this point, no matter how strange the choices were, they could no longer make Irin's heart waver.
What he was surprised by was the scenery in front of him.
