On the way back.
Irin quickly took out a pack of compressed biscuits from the storage dimension and ate it.
It tasted like chewing wax, but also like chewing wood.
But no matter what, after eating the compressed biscuits, the hunger in his stomach finally subsided a lot.
"Want one?"
Irin generously took out another pack and handed it to Oda Wu.
Oda Wu pursed her lips and originally wanted to refuse.
Grumble grumble grumble —
But from Oda Wu's flat stomach came a series of hollow sounds.
So Oda Wu quickly took the compressed biscuits from Irin's hand and no longer refused.
After a simple meal.
Irin and Oda Wu returned to the teaching building and walked up to the rooftop.
The rooftop still seemed very empty.
A girl with a quiet back leaned against the railing of the rooftop and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. This scene was as beautiful as a painting, and the girl was like a white lotus in the painting.
Well, if one had to give this painting a name.
Then it should be … "The Girl and the Pale Sky"?
Irin nodded in satisfaction.
He had always been very confident in his taste in naming.
[A girl suddenly appeared in front of you.]
[A girl who made you feel that the world in front of you suddenly became pale.]
[This girl's back made you feel that, at this moment, the world no longer matters.]
[So, you choose —]
[A, walk up to the girl, pat her shoulder, and ask for her name.]
[B, quietly walk to the girl's side and stare at the sky with blurred eyes.]
[C, immediately turn around and leave, giving up on the encounter that might happen in this story.]
The options and narration appeared again.
But in fact, for the current Irin, the options were meaningless except for giving a hint.
He could choose D, or even E, or maybe F?
In short, everything was a choice.
Even the choices that were not options could be chosen.
"Don't choose randomly."
Irin was afraid that Oda Wu would choose C randomly again, so he reminded her in a low voice.
Oda Wu had already hung the black scabbard on her waist and silently nodded.
As if she was saying —
"I choose the sword."
Irin pondered over the options.
If the silly student who died here had the same choice in front of him, then his death was indeed not in vain.
At the beginning of the trial, it was indeed very easy to be killed here without knowing what was going on.
Thinking of this, Yi Lin smiled.
Without any hesitation, he chose C.
The moment he made his choice, Irin slowly turned around and prepared to leave.
Actually, Irin was not worried about missing this part of the plot.
Even if his body was really taken away in the "pathfinding mode", he could just run back to the rooftop and choose again.
Yes, follow your heart.
"That student over there, please wait."
Just as Irin was about to leave, the woman who was looking up at the sky suddenly looked at Irin from afar, looking very pitiful.
True enough.
Irin stopped in his tracks.
The opening of this scene was like a scene from a melodramatic romance drama.
"I'm leaving."
"No, don't go."
"I really want to leave."
"No, you don't."
"Alright, I choose to stay."
"You could have left."
"No! I'm not leaving! "
"…"
Irin couldn't help but think of the lines from the melodramatic romance drama and couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, a sudden downpour would be even more appropriate.
Irin thought.
Irin didn't continue to let his imagination run wild.
The girl not far away had already turned her head.
That breathtaking appearance, those clear and flawless eyes, those thin eyebrows that seemed to be frowning, and those eyes that seemed to contain infinite words, made people unable to resist rejecting her.
"What's the matter?"
The girl smiled and said, "My name is Marissa, I've actually been paying attention to you for a long time."
"Oh."
"…"
The atmosphere became strangely awkward.
Marissa added, "I'm also a student of third year class two, I'm sitting … in the front row."
Irin smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't notice."
"…"
[Marissa is a bit angry.]
[Angry that she met such a blockhead.]
[But your steely, straight way of speaking has piqued Marissa's interest.]
[She's not interested in ordinary boys.]
[That means you're not ordinary.]
[Marissa has decided to try a deeper level of communication with you.]
Oda Wu looked at the two's conversation strangely.
But due to her trust in Irin's' treachery ', Oda Wu finally held back and didn't take out her knife and slash at his face.
Hmm, I'll slash it later.
Oda Wu happily made the decision.
She now considered everything in the River Styx as' monsters', and in Oda Wu's logic, there was no monster that couldn't be slashed.
On the rooftop.
Marissa smiled and invited Irin.
"Do you want to come over and chat?"
Irin raised his eyebrows and didn't refuse, "Sure."
At the same time, he quickly sent a message to Oda Wu.
Irin and Marissa stood side by side. From afar, they looked like a couple who wanted to reject but also wanted to welcome.
Marissa looked at the sky again.
Irin also remained silent.
Ten seconds later.
Marissa finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey, do you know what color the sky is?"
Options also appeared in front of Irin's eyes.
[A, the protective color of love.]
[B, the color of your eyes.]
[C, the same sky looks different in everyone's eyes.]
Irin was a little puzzled.
It was such an obvious trap. How naive was this silly girl to be able to step into it?
Did he think that he was playing a dating game to woo the heroine?
He couldn't be that naive, right?
With doubts, Irin directly ignored all the options.
"Black."
Marissa looked at Irin in surprise.
Irin explained, "Or maybe white. Isn't it obvious? You'd be blind not to see it. "
Marissa was speechless.
Suddenly, Marissa didn't know how to continue the conversation.
The conversation between the handsome man and the beautiful woman once again fell into an awkward silence.
This time, it was Irin who broke the silence.
"Since you asked such a question, there are only two possibilities."
"First, you're pretending."
"Second, you think that the 'sky' you see in front of you is not the real 'sky'."
"After a simple conversation, I found that the IQ of the second and third years are not on the same line."
"After I temporarily ruled out the possibility of you pretending, I also proved one of my personal inferences."
Marissa slowly typed out a question mark.
The progress of the conversation seemed to be out of Marissa's expectations.
This … doesn't play by the rules! Ahhhh!
However, there was one sentence that caused Marissa's calm eyes to flicker.
Irin carefully observed Marissa's reaction and took a step back without leaving a trace. He smiled and said, "Since you're eager to see the sky, then can I ask Miss Marissa to tell me how to reach the real sky?"
"Hehehe … You want to know?"
Irin said matter-of-factly, "Of course."
"Then …" Marissa bit her lower lip and looked at Oda Mai who was standing by the door. Her cheeks blushed and she became a bit shy. "It's not convenient here, I think …"
Irin quickly interrupted Marissa. "You don't need to think. I think it's good here. Please hurry."
"Okay."
Marissa pouted with some dissatisfaction.
Her hands moved down little by little.
They moved to the edge of her skirt.
Her hands were as gentle as a young girl picking flowers. She used two white fingers to lift up the corner of her skirt.
One centimeter.
Two centimeters.
She pulled the skirt up little by little.
There seemed to be some great secret hidden under the skirt.
Three centimeters.
There seemed to be a secret garden hidden under the skirt.
Five centimeters.
There seemed to be …
Irin suddenly moved.
Without any warning.
In an instant, Irin flicked his finger. An explosive bead that had been in his hand for a long time had been activated and turned into an 'unstable explosive' was shot out from his finger!
BiuBiuBiu！
At the same time, the card in Irin's hand shattered. Specks of light turned into Blood Jasmine and stabbed at Marissa's neck without any fancy moves.
The direction of the explosive bead was not somewhere on Marissa's body, nor was it anywhere else. It was … the ground!
The instant Irin moved, Oda Mai, who had been standing motionless in the distance, was suddenly filled with killing intent. The muscles all over her body tightened and she curled up like a cheetah. She was also like a bow that had been bent to the extreme and was about to shoot out.
Kill!
The two of them moved at the same time!
Marissa's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
She never expected that the man in front of her would be so ruthless.
She didn't even have time to lift her skirt!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Irin and Oda Mai had planned this beforehand. Their movements were so fast that even the eyes couldn't react.
Marissa's hands were still in the motion of lifting her skirt. She didn't have time to care.
In the blink of an eye, Irin's Blood Jasmine had already sunk deep into Marissa's neck. It came out from the back of her neck and even brought out a stream of light red blood.
At the same time, the explosive bead that Irin had shot at the ground strangely bounced off the ground and hit the bottom of Marissa's skirt at a precise angle.
Irin's expression didn't change. He just smiled and said, "You're too slow. I'll help you."
As he said that, Irin quickly pulled the Blood Jasmine out of Marissa's neck.
A 'pop' sound was heard.
The next second.
Marissa covered the wound on her neck in shock and anger. Smelly blood kept oozing out. She didn't know if it was because of Irin's attack or because she was too excited at the moment. She couldn't even roar or scream for a moment.
The explosive bead reached the bottom of her skirt.
Then …
It exploded.
Boom!
At the same time.
Oda Mai finished charging.
She took a step forward.
But Irin could barely make out that in the distance of one step, Oda Mai's feet clearly made five consecutive steps.
Because Oda Mai's speed was too fast, it made these five steps seem like only one step.
In the blink of an eye, Oda Mai appeared in front of Marissa from the rooftop entrance as if she had teleported.
Because of Irin's sudden attack, Marissa was already retreating. But the sudden explosion from the bottom of her skirt made Marissa's movements stop once again.
Billowing black smoke gushed out from the bottom of her skirt!
And it also emitted a strange smell.
And in that moment of pause, Marissa's originally beautiful pupils instantly shrunk into vertical lines and emitted a dark green light.
Marissa's eyes were shrouded by a simple and unadorned blade light.
Just one blade!
Oda Mai —
Unsheathe!
"Ah, don't kill her!"
Irin just remembered Oda Mai's style and hurriedly reminded her.
But just as he said that.
Irin couldn't help but shake his head. "It's too late."
The snow-white blade light transformed into a slender ray of light that accurately slashed across Marissa's neck.
Crack.
The long blade returned to its scabbard.
Oda Mai once again assumed the posture of a second blade.
Unsheathe. Every time the blade was unsheathed, it would only slash once.
Of course, it could be unsheathed, slashed, unsheathed, and slashed again. It was an endless cycle.
As long as Oda Mai had enough strength.
This wasn't the first time Irin had seen Oda Mai unsheathe her blade.
Every time, Irin felt that Oda Mai's posture was filled with a strange sense of beauty. Two points and one line, clean and efficient, without any unnecessary fancy movements.
After Oda Wu swung her blade and sheathed it, a thin line of blood appeared on Marissa's neck.
Perhaps this was fate. Oda Mai and Irin had agreed to fight, but they both aimed for the other's neck, as if they both had a special liking for that part of the body.
Marissa's eyes widened, and her entire body stiffened.
The wound on her neck, as well as the explosion of her skirt, seemed to have caused serious damage to Marissa.
Three seconds later.
Marissa's frozen head suddenly fell from her neck. From the cross-section of her neck, two pillars of blood suddenly sprayed out, like a fountain.
In the next moment, the headless Marissa's body fell to the ground, without a single sound.
Oda Mai seemed to have just done something insignificant, as she stood there quietly.
After 'killing' Marissa, Ye Zichen
A narration appeared in front of Irin's eyes again.
[You've lost your mind. You've personally put a perfect end to this story that hasn't had the chance to happen yet.]
"… …"
Irin stared at Marissa's "corpse" that had been separated from her body.
The bottom of her skirt was a mess.
Oda Mai looked at Irin with an expressionless face.
It was as if she didn't know if she should say something.
Oda Mai didn't know what Irin was planning.
She was only responsible for killing monsters.
Now that the monsters had been killed.
Oda Mai turned around, preparing to leave.
Suddenly.
Irin smiled. "Why are you leaving so quickly?"
Oda Mai's footsteps paused, but her expression didn't change. "Otherwise?"
"Isn't it still warm?"
Hiss.
Oda Mai took a small breath. She looked at Irin with a little surprise.
Irin didn't care about Oda Mai's current thoughts.
He just said softly to Marissa's corpse in a voice that was neither loud nor soft, "Since it's still warm."
"Then, let's … … kill it again."
Gua gua gua gua —
In an instant!
When Yi Lin said those words, Ye Zichen was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Marissa's headless body began to tremble.
Almost at the same time, from the bottom of Marissa's messy skirt, as well as the cross-section of her neck, red and white pieces of flesh suddenly wriggled and broke out of her body.
The hideous and strange pieces of flesh condensed into two long snake-like tentacles in the blink of an eye. They bit at Oda Mai and Irin from two different directions.
That's right.
It was … … a bite.
At the head of the tentacles formed by the pieces of flesh, there was a bloody mouth. There were no eyes, no nose, no ears, only a wide open mouth. As the sharp teeth in the mouth opened and closed, sticky saliva stretched out like silk threads. It was as if it was craving for the two's bodies, constantly drooling.
"Partial Activation – Locust Foot!"
Irin was already prepared.
In fact, when Marissa fell to the ground and Irin didn't get any chaos value, he was already prepared.
Although Marissa's head might not be counted as his, he still had a chance.
But according to the clues that Irin currently had, a certain conclusion told him that this cute girl named Marissa shouldn't have died so easily under the joint attack of the two.
If it was an ordinary human, they would have been dead long ago. There was no other possibility.
But … … if it wasn't a human?
That might not be the case.
In the blink of an eye.
Irin's jumping ability was terrifyingly strengthened. Irin stepped on the ground and nimbly jumped into the air, easily avoiding the surprise attack of the bloody mouth.
On the other hand, although Oda Wu's reaction was a little slower, she maintained the posture of drawing her sword, allowing her to react in any situation. Oda Wu's face was as calm as water. Facing the strange and disgusting monster, there was a hint of hidden excitement on her face. Her right hand shook violently, and a sword light swept directly into the bloody mouth.
Dodge?
That didn't exist.
As long as it was a monster that could be attacked, why would she dodge?
Oda Wu's logic was very simple.
In the air.
Irin lowered his head and stared at Oda Wu's movements. He condensed a psychic needle and inserted it into another part of the head.
"Partial Activation – Super Memory."
At the same time.
Psychokinesis perception enveloped the entire area.
Within this ten-meter radius, everything was under Irin's control.
Irin used a voice that only he could hear and laughed softly.
"Sorry, Oda Wu."
Irin's jumping ability was maxed out. She fell down and jumped up high again …
Oda Wu didn't have time to care about anything else. At the moment when she wanted to withdraw her sword, her gaze froze.
That bloody mouth actually didn't care about the risk of being cut open. It used its white teeth to bite Oda Wu's sword.
On the other side.
Irin jumped into the air again …
In the nick of time, Oda Wu's lips curled into a faint smile. Her left hand reached into the void and took out a second knife from her storage space!
It was a long sword with old bandages wrapped around the scabbard.
The handle of the sword was scarlet red like blood, but also like solidified amber. It was filled with an evil aura.
"Oh? A second sword? "
Yi Lin fell from the sky again and quickly bounced once more …
The second head with a long neck saw that it couldn't bite Irin no matter how hard it tried. It gave up on its target and attacked from both sides. One head bit Oda Wu's sword, while the other head bit Oda Wu's head.
"Two Heavens One Flow – Crescent Moon!"
The second saber light came uninvited.
Irin jumped again …
Oda Wu was speechless.
Two minutes later.
"You're still jumping?"
Oda Wu put away the second sword and looked at Irin expressionlessly.
Irin finally stopped jumping up and down. Her thigh muscles were sore.
Irin explained seriously, "I'm analyzing the movement patterns of these monsters."
Oda Wu … believed it.
She nodded and slowly lowered her right hand from her waist.
Irin recalled that Oda Wu had pulled out the second sword just now.
He remembered that in the incident in Huating City, Oda Wu had said that her family had lost a family heirloom Spiritual Enhancement weapon. So, because of a little clue, they followed it to Huating City. But in the end, it was a mistake for her.
After the incident in Huating City, Oda Wu left Huating City in a hurry to find the sword. Irin didn't have time to ask about the details.
So it seems that … that demonic long sword is the "family heirloom weapon" that Oda Mai mentioned?
Irin thought that Oda Wu was just talking about it.
Irin didn't ask much.
It was taboo to inquire about an apostle's ability and equipment attributes.
Plus, Irin didn't do anything in the second half of the fight. He was embarrassed to ask such a question.
After the fight, it was time to call it a day.
Irin carefully observed Marissa's body that had been cut into pieces by Oda Wu and frowned slightly.
If all the students in the school were monsters like this, it would be troublesome.
Moreover, Irin had confirmed that there was no strange "piece of meat" behind Marissa's back like Irin and Oda Wu's back.
In other words, that thing was the unique "body structure" of the transfer students of third year second class.
If they wanted to figure out the function of that piece of meat, they had to find someone to take the initiative to dig it out. Otherwise, everything would stay in the realm of inference.
Oda Wu, on the other hand, was very calm.
As long as the monster had a health bar, there was no monster that couldn't be killed.
"Let's not talk about what these monsters are first. Their heads don't seem to be their weakness."
Yi Lin blurted out a bunch of nonsense.
Oda Wu nodded slightly in agreement.
Irin bent down and observed Marissa's body.
"Although we don't have the conditions to dissect it in detail, part of their body structure is similar to ours."
Irin lowered his voice. "The fatal wound should be the one in the heart. When you cut it with two blades, many of its movements were consciously or unconsciously protecting the position of the heart."
Oda Wu hesitated for a moment.
She quickly concluded. "After cutting it, the meat is okay."
Irin was speechless.
That's right.
Although Oda Wu's description was a little strange, Irin agreed.
If it was alone, as long as one was prepared in advance and didn't blindly choose [Option], it was indeed not easy to be killed.
Hanhan's death was completely because it was too stupid … stupid.
The weakness of the monster that Marissa transformed into was also very obvious.
If its agility wasn't too weak, it wouldn't be difficult to avoid the bites of those mouths.
That was why Yi Lin didn't mind slacking off. He wasn't worried that Oda Maio would hold a grudge.
When Oda Wu was slaying monsters, her face was filled with unconcealable excitement. It was as if she had taken drugs.
But.
What if all the students in the school turned into this kind of monster in the blink of an eye?
Thinking of this, Irin had a headache.
He was almost certain that the terrifying monster hidden under the student's skin, the sea of monsters that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, was the most hidden danger of this survival trial.
If they didn't find an escape route as soon as possible, perhaps at a certain time or when a certain trigger condition was met, all the students would shed all pretense of cordiality and transform into monsters, pouncing on the transfer students.
At that time, the difficulty of escaping would increase exponentially.
Irin was a little strange. He didn't know if it was because Oda Wu's movements were too clean and neat, but Irin didn't see Marissa perform the "magic" that they learned in class.
Or maybe … it was too troublesome to perform magic, so it was better to follow the instinct and "bite"?
Well, that was very likely.
Until now.
The mystery of Hanhan's death had finally been solved.
If Irin didn't guess wrong, Marissa directly lifted up her skirt in front of Hanhan, and Hanhan's head was instantly bitten off by a mouth under her skirt while he was still in a state of confusion.
Poor silly student. A moment of silence.
Irin was a little strange. He didn't know if it was because Oda Wu's movements were too clean and neat, but Irin didn't see Marissa perform the "magic" that they learned in class.
Or maybe … it was too troublesome to perform magic, so it was better to follow the instinct and "bite"?
Well, that was very likely.
Oda Wu glanced at Irin again, indicating what to do with the corpse on the ground.
Irin smiled and said, "Did you forget when Hanhan fell off the building? Someone will take care of the corpse. "
After saying that, Irin prepared to leave.
Oda Wu thought about it and felt that it made sense. Thus, she didn't worry anymore and followed behind Irin, leaving the rooftop.
On the stairs.
Irin glanced at the remaining time of the cute rabbit buff on the apostle panel and smiled.
"It's time. We've explored enough. It's time to find the exit."
As he said that, an ancient compass silently appeared in Irin's hand.
…
Half an hour later.
Some students found Marissa's fragmented corpse.
When the students who found the corpse saw it, they were shocked.
But a few seconds later.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
All the students drooled with desire, their eyes simultaneously emitting a green light.
"It's Marissa from third year second class!"
"How did she die?"
"Is she dead?"
"The teacher said that if she's not moving, then she's dead."
"Should we report this to the teacher?"
"I think … we should?"
"But, doesn't it look delicious?"
"It's still warm."
"Can we eat it?"
"Can we eat it?"
"Can we … eat it?"
"But this … is against the school rules, right?"
"But as long as we eat it clean enough and no one finds out, then it's not against the school rules."
"Hey, don't you think so?"
"Marissa?"
"…"
