For Oda Wu.
All the red names were strange.
In the trial, there was only the difference between being able to cut and not being able to cut.
If you asked her about the trial, she wouldn't be able to say anything other than hesitating whether or not to draw her sword.
So Irin finally recognized the reality and gave up on discussing with Oda Wu.
"Well, you … just do whatever you want."
After dealing with Marissa, Irin said this.
Oda Wu nodded, put away her sword, and didn't ask any more questions.
His thoughts gradually became clear.
This trial to escape didn't seem to be that simple.
Hidden under the main mission of escaping, there was actually a complicated and huge plot.
If he dug deeper, he would probably be able to uncover many hidden side missions.
But … was this really okay?
Irin had a headache.
If he dug deeper, he would undoubtedly be able to grasp more of the truth about the beginning of the River Styx. But if he triggered something that shouldn't be touched, there would be a lot of unforeseen events.
"Let's do the main mission first."
After thinking about it, Irin made a decision.
He didn't hesitate for too long.
After all, no matter how high the rating was, it was still based on the premise of "clearing".
Now that half the time had passed, if he couldn't escape successfully, it would be useless no matter how deep he dug.
Irin hid in a corner with no one around and held the compass tightly.
"The desire deep in my heart …"
Irin tried to activate the [Heart's Compass].
Although the function of the [Heart's Compass] was powerful, in this trial, he could only locate the "target" twice. Irin didn't dare to be careless, nor did he dare to waste it.
What did he desire?
The taste of freedom?
The color of the sky?
The exit?
The desire to survive?
Irin concentrated.
Thoughts turned in the depths of his heart.
And the compass in Irin's hand sensed the desire in Irin's heart. The needle spun madly, three circles to the left, three circles to the right, unable to stop.
Ten minutes later.
Irin opened his eyes.
He silently stared at the compass in his hand. The needle on the compass was still spinning, as if it would never stop.
"Sure enough, when I really use it, it's not that simple?"
Irin rubbed his forehead and smiled.
Although the Heart Compass could read the desire in the depths of the owner's heart and point them in the right direction, it was still not enough.
But the current situation was that even Irin himself did not know what he was looking for.
If one only longed for the "exit" in the depths of one's heart, the answer would be too uncertain for the compass to point in the correct direction. That was why it kept spinning. This was a sign that the compass had failed.
Here's an example.
For example, a person with a stomachache.
If the desire in his heart at this moment was to "solve this problem", the compass could not give him an answer at all.
This was because there were too many ways to "solve a stomachache".
It was in his pants.
Two, hold it back.
Third, find a toilet.
Fourth, settle it anywhere.
We'll talk about it next time.
A "desire" that was too ethereal and extensive could not be located by the compass.
Unless there was a clear desire for a specific goal, such as "I desire the nearest toilet", then the compass would be able to play a powerful role.
Currently, Irin did not even know what the "exit" was. If even he himself did not know about his "desire", how could it be read by the compass?
Irin silently put away the Heart Compass.
"It seems that I have to gather information as soon as possible.
First, I have to find a way to find the exit.
Combining the clues that I have so far, the most obvious thing, but most likely a trap, is the 'door'.
If I want to pass through the 'door', I must have an 'entry permit'.
Which means I have to find the vice-principal?
If it's the vice-principal, he should be in the vice-principal's office. This should not be a problem.
If there are no accidents, those two 'teammates' should have thought of this long ago.
If I go now, will it be too late? But if I don't go now, I might miss some clues. "
Just as Irin was hiding and thinking, the bell for class rang on time.
Dang dang dang dang dang —
Irin was still standing in the same place.
And just when Irin had no intention of going to class, the narration appeared again.
[Lunch break is over. The bell for class has rung again.]
[You know, the next class is the 'advanced theory class' personally taught by the Queen of Flame Luo.]
[You are worried that if you don't go to class, what kind of terrible punishment will you face if the Queen of Flame Luo finds out?]
[But at the same time, you can't help but look forward to it.]
[What if this' punishment 'is to your liking? What should I do then?]
[Next, you decide —]
[Please choose.]
[A, youth without skipping class is not complete. As an excellent transfer student, I accidentally skipped a class and then passed by the vice-principal's office. Isn't that normal?]
[B, I feel a little uncomfortable. I heard that the health teacher in the infirmary is gentle, charming, and has long legs and fair skin. The world is so big, you want to see it.]
[C, the Queen of Flame Luo's punishment is very scary. I've decided to go to class obediently. To hell with my complete youth.]
"Oh?"
This time.
Irin didn't hesitate for too long and didn't do anything strange. She directly chose [A].
After choosing.
The pathfinding mode was activated.
Irin began to walk involuntarily toward the vice-principal's office mentioned in [A].
After the bell for class rang on time.
Year Three Class Two.
The Queen of Flame Luo was still wearing the tight black leather jacket. Her snow-white thighs were exposed to the cold wind. The leather whip on her waist was bulging as she patrolled back and forth in the classroom.
There were many empty seats in Year Three Class Two. Maybe the Queen of Flame Luo didn't notice that one person was missing or she didn't care at all.
"Where's that guy? Did he slip away? "
Cao Tiantian looked at the empty seat next to her with a strange expression.
"Has that guy already started to act?"
Cao Tiantian silently opened the apostle panel and glanced at the remaining time of the buff.
It was now their second day in the Styx.
On the first day, Silly Girl died tragically.
Now in the trial, there were still four apostles alive.
Although Cao Tiantian was a little reluctant to give up the hidden side quest of the Queen of Flame Luo, if she couldn't complete the main quest and couldn't leave this strange school, it would be useless no matter how many side quests she did.
Thinking of this.
Cao Tiantian quickly communicated with Liu Ruyan secretly and sent out a series of messages.
In the corner of the classroom.
A faint green light flashed in Liu Ruyan's quiet eyes.
At the same time.
Irin, who skipped class, came to the office building under the guidance of the pathfinding mode.
The office building was quite a distance away from the teaching building.
Irin hadn't seen any other teachers except for the head teacher and the Queen of Flame Luo.
In the office building, there were few people, which made Irin wonder if this was the gathering place of the teachers.
Before walking into the office building, Irin carefully used psychokinesis to sense while moving forward.
If every teacher had the terrifying strength of the Queen of Flame Luo, then this office building was no different from a tiger's den.
But fortunately, there was no one else.
This was also why Irin felt strange.
But at this time, this strangeness made it easier for Irin to do things.
In the stairwell, as if afraid that the intruder couldn't find the location, the floor plan of the office building was very considerately posted.
Irin quickly glanced at the floor plan.
The style of the office building of Styx Junior High was similar to the teaching building. The architectural style was old, with only doors and no windows.
Following the floor plan, Irin came to the top floor.
From the floor plan, there were only two rooms on the top floor, which seemed to be for the vice principal's exclusive use. The secretary's office was next door.
Irin didn't meet anyone else along the way.
When he arrived at the door of the vice principal, Irin was slightly stunned.
The door of the vice principal's office was closed, and there was a note on it.
[The vice principal is out. If there is an urgent matter, please walk ten steps forward and find Secretary Rita.]
Huh?
If there is an urgent matter, I have to find the secretary instead of the vice principal?
Irin's eyes narrowed.
He quickly noticed that the note on the door didn't seem to have been pasted there recently.
There was a thin layer of dust on the note.
If one didn't look carefully, they might miss it.
The note was casually pasted on the door and could be easily torn off.
Irin … tore it off too.
There was nothing to hesitate about.
After tearing off the note, the shape of the note left a dust-free mark on the door. One could imagine how long the note had been pasted on the door.
Holding the note in his hand, no "attributes" appeared.
In other words, it was just an ordinary note.
"It seems that even a route that looks like a trap isn't that easy to complete?"
Irin crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket. He followed the hint on the note and took a few steps forward. He wanted to see what he could find in the secretary's office.
Irin wanted to use his psychokinesis to probe through the door.
However, just as he released his psychokinesis, Irin's expression changed slightly. But after a few seconds, Irin smiled.
"Bingo."
He didn't know if it was because the walls and door of the vice principal's office were made of special materials, or if there was some other reason.
Irin's psychokinesis, which had been tested every time, couldn't penetrate the door. He couldn't get any information.
Irin's psychokinesis was like a clay ox entering the sea. It didn't cause any ripples.
"A place that can block spiritual detection? So, there must be something special in there. "
"Or some kind of special scene?"
"What does it mean that there are no multiple-choice questions?"
"If it's a multiple-choice question, I'll definitely find a way to enter without hesitation."
"Isn't it just a little something?"
As Irin thought, he took ten steps forward. Just as the blueprint described, a secretary's office with the door ajar appeared beside Irin.
Just as Irin was about to reach the door.
A lazy and flirtatious voice came from behind the door, laughing happily.
"Who is it? Is it you? Hahaha — "
"…"
"…"
This voice.
It sounded a little abnormal.
However, in this school, Irin didn't feel that anything was out of place.
Irin didn't activate Shadow Pursuit. He pushed open the ajar door and walked in.
The furnishings inside were very simple.
An office desk.
A huge closet that reached the ceiling.
An old long sofa.
The dark red floor was made of an unknown material. It looked like a slate, but it also looked like some other unknown material. It matched the yellowish color of the walls and gave Irin a sense of decay and desolation.
Irin didn't have time to complain about the weird architectural style of Styx Junior High School.
He saw a mature woman wearing a professional short skirt with mesh holes in her socks. She was lying on the sofa with a lazy posture as if she had nothing to do.
Irin quickly noticed that there were no documents on the desk. It made him doubt the purpose of this secretary's existence.
Irin quickly checked the surroundings to make sure that it was safe.
Secretary Rita made a sound of surprise and suddenly sat up from the sofa. She tidied her clothes calmly and buttoned an extra button on her shirt.
Secretary Rita stared at Irin coldly. In just a few seconds, Secretary Rita's expression changed drastically. It changed from laziness and shyness to doubt. There was a hint of astonishment in her eyes.
"Who are you?"
Irin didn't answer.
The narration seemed to be more anxious and appeared instantly.
Furthermore, the speed at which it appeared was much faster than usual.
[Secretary Rita is the vice principal's confidant.]
[When the principal isn't around, the vice principal has the final say.]
[If the vice principal isn't around, then Secretary Rita is the one who has the final say.]
[She noticed you. After all, you didn't knock on the door.]
[She also noticed the class number on your uniform. She remembered that 'five transfer students' were arranged to be in that class yesterday.]
[You suddenly regret your reckless actions.]
[Maybe, this wasn't the right choice.]
[After Secretary Rita asks you a question, say it as fast as you can —]
[Please choose.]
[A, I'm sorry! I came to the wrong place! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll leave immediately.]
[B, I'm sorry. I thought this was the school building. But don't be angry. I'll leave immediately.]
[C, how dare you, demon. I can tell that you're not human. But it's okay. I'll leave immediately.]
When the options appeared.
Irin narrowed his eyes slightly.
These three options … were different?
Weren't they all advising him to leave quickly?
These options, which could be called "explicit", made Irin feel a hint of warmth from somewhere. Warmth in his heart …
Damn, I'm not warm at all!
Is it still a multiple-choice question when there's only one option?
At first glance, these three options seemed to be hints.
Hints that it would be very dangerous for Irin if he continued to stay here.
But thinking about it carefully, could it be that even the narration was a form of confusion?
Maybe this was the key?
As long as he persevered, he might be able to discover a big secret?
Or even an escape route?
Or he could use reverse thinking.
The escape route that seemed to be a trap was actually a trap?
Therefore …
If he continued to beat around the bush, it would be meaningless to fight a battle of wits and courage with the narration.
Everything was a choice.
Not an option.
When he thought of this, Irin ignored the contents of the options.
He smiled at Secretary Rita and said, "I'm a transfer student from Class Two, Year Three."
Rita frowned and stood up from the sofa. "I'll ask again. Who are you?"
At that moment …
Irin fell silent.
He didn't know how to continue.
Ask again?
What did she mean?
Irin suddenly realized that just like what the narration said, this trip to the vice principal's office was like accidentally pressing a red button.
Once pressed, it would explode on the spot.
The narration started to urge him.
[You feel that the atmosphere is not right.]
[Danger is approaching.]
[Trust me. It's not safe here.]
[You can't let anything happen to you now.]
[You will —]
[Hurry up and choose.]
[A, leave immediately.]
[B, leave immediately.]
[C, leave!]
"So … it's like this."
Irin thought of the sarcoma on his back and suddenly understood.
Most of the clues were connected.
It turned out that not only him, but also the dead Silly Girl and all the apostles in this trial had misunderstood one thing.
It was a matter of life and death!
Irin instantly removed the immature pretense of a "student". His expression was calm and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He deliberately revealed an unfathomable smile. "Make a guess?"
Secretary Rita was bewildered.
She seemed to have thought of something deep in her heart.
However, Irin really wanted to tell her.
Say it.
Just say what you have thought of.
Don't you feel uncomfortable keeping it in your heart?
Ten seconds later.
Rita's secretary studied Yi Lin from head to toe. Suddenly, she spoke in a tone as if she had suddenly understood everything. "As expected, Prison Gate Junior High School didn't have any good intentions when they sent you few 'latest test subjects' here. As expected of a scheme and a lie … XXXX …"
Irin's expression froze.
He did not know why.
The latter half of Secretary Rita's sentence sounded like strange syllables without any meaning in Irin's ears.
However, the moment Secretary Rita said those strange syllables, Irin felt a great pressure. It was as if something terrible would happen if he could understand those syllables.
What did it mean?
Without waiting for Irin to ponder.
After Secretary Rita finished speaking, her eyes suddenly emitted a green light that Irin found familiar. Her eyes were full of green.
"Hmph, tell me your purpose, or else …"
In the blink of an eye, Rita's secretary's beautiful and mature face turned from white to red, from red to green, and from green to purple. It was very strange. Two sharp fangs slowly extended from Rita's secretary's mouth.
Irin chuckled.
His gaze fell on Secretary Rita.
"From now on, let the world feel pain!"
“！”
Three minutes later.
The red and white light dissipated from Irin's body.
Because there was no one else around at the moment, Yi Lin used this move.
After all, although this move was powerful and had both offense and defense, if it was seen by someone he knew, he would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into sulfuric acid … It would be a big misunderstanding.
Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu's laughter seemed to be echoing in the air.
Cough cough …
On the ground.
There was another corpse that was chopped into one, two, three … seventeen pieces.
Not long ago, she claimed to be the vice principal's secretary.
She even wanted to force Irin to do something he did not like.
Therefore, Irin could only reject her righteously and try out the new skill.
Irin looked at the secretary's corpse expressionlessly and shook his head. "This vice principal's taste is a bit weird."
After that.
Irin began to search the empty secretary's office.
[Obtained + 369 Chaos Points!]
Rita's secretary alone had brought Yi Lin more than 300 Chaos points.
If a normal human's value was about 40-50 Chaos Points, then Secretary Rita's value was about 7 normal human's worth.
Although Irin did not know the exact definition of the Chaos Points in Tower.
But in general, the higher the attribute, the higher the value of the Chaos Points. There was not much difference in this general trend.
When he killed Rita's secretary, Yi Lin had absorbed a layer of Blood Will.
[Blood Will Level 5] (+ 3.2)
The 'people' in this trial, in terms of attributes, were much higher than the soldiers in the Caribbean Sea by a large margin.
Secretary Rita was not too difficult to kill, but the Blood Will that was condensed from her life was also as high as 3.2.
In other words, the sum of her strength, agility, and spirit was more than 15 when she was alive.
She was just a normal secretary.
Perhaps the reason why he was able to sit in this position was not because of his ability. It was very likely that he had grasped the taste of the vice-principal whom he had never met before.
"If a small secretary's three attributes are more than 15, then the whole school …"
"Let's not talk about the number of students, the cafeteria auntie who is as strong as Brother Su, the school guard, Queen Yanluo … How high would the attributes of these elite monsters be?"
"Maybe they have all kinds of strange abilities …"
"So this is an escape trial?"
"Just thinking of a way to escape from this school is difficult enough to make people hover on the edge of death."
Irin felt his scalp tingle just by imagining this.
Until now.
What Irin saw was just the tip of the iceberg regarding the dangers of Styx Junior High.
If someone accidentally triggered a condition that made all the students turn into demons … The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Looks like we have to quickly think of a way to escape from here. If we delay any longer, the difficulty will increase."
"From the looks of it, the buff will only last for three days."
"But the time limit of the mission is very clear … Until death."
"It is very possible that the real meaning of this time limit is not that we have at least three days, but that as time passes, the difficulty will increase."
Irin's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
Hell Gate Junior High?
Although Rita's secretary didn't reveal much information before Yi Lin made a move, Rita's secretary didn't reveal much information.
Even the last half of the sentence was mysteriously blocked.
However, the four words "Prison Gate Junior High" allowed Yi Lin to vaguely understand the general structure of this trial world.
There was more than one school like Styx Junior High.
Was this the legendary school battle?
At this moment.
The inside of the house was already in a mess.
The sofa, desk, and wardrobe were all covered with sharp knife marks. At first glance, it looked like the marks left behind by a storm of knives and swords.
Irin was very satisfied with his new ability.
The walls of the vice principal's office and the secretary's office seemed to be specially made.
Irin's psychokinesis was unable to penetrate the walls.
After receiving the notification of the chaos value, Irin was sure that Secretary Rita was dead. There was no possibility of her coming back to life.
Thus, Irin seized the time and started to search the secretary's office.
A few minutes later.
Irin did not find anything.
The furnishings of the office were very simple. Irin found some weird sex toys in Secretary Rita's drawer and did not find anything special.
"Eh? Wait. "
Irin was not satisfied.
And at this moment.
He compared the structure of the room with the floor plan of the stairwell and realized that the actual size of the room was much smaller than the floor plan.
"Hmm? Another secret room? So uncreative? "
Irin quickly understood the reason and could not help but complain.
