Suddenly, without any warning, Queen Yanluo … knelt down.
Oda Wu had just raised her knife and was about to cut her wrist when she saw this scene. She paused and her stiff face was slightly stunned.
Queen Yanluo wrapped her body heat in a radius of half a meter and did not leak out any more than half a meter.
Queen Yanluo's posture at this moment was as if she wanted to shrink herself into a thick turtle shell and did not dare to move.
All the students in the third year class two, at that moment, the green light in their eyes suddenly dimmed. It was as if they were in high spirits and were suddenly said to be "so-so" and suddenly became dispirited.
All the students curled up in the corners of the third year class two, as if they were infected by Queen Yanluo. They were also trembling.
The situation in the third year class two had changed strangely. Queen Yanluo was kneeling on the ground and the other students were all trembling.
Ah?
What was going on?
Was it the loss of morality or the distortion of human nature?
Rowena and Gao Tiantian did not know what to do with this sudden change.
Oda Wu leaned against the wall and smiled coldly.
Her fighting spirit was high.
She would draw blood with her knife.
She would be invincible.
She sheathed her knife and was about to —
"Let's go!"
Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan finally reacted and made their own choices.
After Queen Yan Luo's heat was retracted, the heat in the air was finally not so terrifying. The two of them were sweating profusely. Taking advantage of this inexplicable situation, they directly rushed out of their respective positions. Each of them held one of Oda Wu's arms, and without saying a word, they rushed out of the classroom from the back door and ran away.
Oda Wu was expressionless and slowly typed out a question mark, "?"
Cao Tiantian explained in exasperation, "Are you stupid? Did you forget that this is an escape mission? Our goal is not to kill monsters, but to escape from this broken school! "
The three of them ran. Rowena was panting slightly, "Yes, now is not a good time to kill monsters, and there are no obvious benefits to killing monsters … Besides, do you really think that with Queen Yanluo's strength, we can really kill her when she kneels down?"
Cao Tiantian did not know what to think. Her face changed and she shook her head crazily, indicating that she did not believe it.
Actually.
Originally, according to the usual style of apostles, Cao Tiantian and Rowena did not need to care about Oda Wu at all.
After all, if you were willing to stay and fight monsters to attract aggro and be a tank, they would not force you. While you were attracting the Boss' aggro, they would escape from the side, was this not a very normal operation?
But when Oda Wu was about to kill Queen Yanluo, Cao Tiantian and Rowena, Rowena, at the same time, a voice-over message.
The three options seemed to be hinting at something.
Oda Wu … cannot to die!
The strength to to the end, the next moment to the next!
Cao Tiantian secretly.
As expected!
There was always a way out. So this was what this trial was all about.
As long as the apostles could endure until a certain time, the narration would give them hints of how to escape. This would allow the apostles who survived to discover the true path of survival from the narration and hints of options.
!!!
I!!!!!
To the to to the to the end.
The to the end.....
As time went on, the students and teachers in the school would become more and more strange, and the 'hints' would follow.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as an absolute dead end in a trial. That's how it is!
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, if there were no hints at all, they would not be able to find a way to escape from Styx Junior High School in just three days.
The difficulty … was too high.
The Escape Trial, as the name suggested, was used to escape from the Inner World, not to fight head-on.
"Run!"
Oda Wu silently put away her sword.
Without any hesitation, the three of them quickly walked down the stairs and arrived at the vast field.
When Cao Tiantian, Oda Wu, and Rowena arrived at the field, their faces were filled with different degrees of surprise.
"This … it's snowing? What time? "
Rowena's eyes narrowed. After a moment of silence, she carefully reached out her hand. Pieces of fine feather-like 'snow' slowly floated in the air. Finally, a part of it was caught by Rowena's white palm.
The 'snow' did not feel cold. It also did not show any signs of being melted by body temperature.
"This … isn't snow."
Rowena suddenly said.
Cao Tiantian stared blankly. "If it's not snow, then what is it?"
Rowena: "It's ash. That's right, it's like ashes produced after burning. This sky is' ash '! "
In front of them.
Styx Junior High School.
Whether it was the field, the ground, or the vegetation, everything that could be seen was covered in pale white ashes. At first glance, it looked as if heavy snow had suddenly fallen. The school was wrapped in silver and turned into a school shrouded in ice and snow.
The three walked in the school. With every step they took, fine dust would rise behind them. But soon, the dust was gradually covered by the ashes falling from the sky, covering their footprints.
Pale white sky, pale white ashes, and the vast earth. Heaven and earth, it was a stretch of desolation.
What a desolate and beautiful scene!
Even Oda Wu, who always only thought about swords, had an indifferent expression at this moment. She looked at the sky, making it impossible to know what she was thinking.
The ashes in front of them, and even the ashes that fell on their bodies and shoulders, didn't make Ruyan Liu and the other two feel "dirty." Different from the ordinary dust in the real world, the 'ash' floating in front of them was paler, purer, and more flawless. It even made people unable to bear to touch it or trample on it.
It was as if it was a sin to even make a loud noise and destroy this desolate and strangely beautiful atmosphere.
Cao Tiantian raised her head and wiped her eyes. She couldn't believe it and muttered to herself. "Why is there … ash falling from the sky?"
Rowena shook her head. "I don't know. But I guess … Queen Yanluo's reaction is very likely to be related to the ash in the sky. "
Cao Tiantian felt cold all over. "Even Queen Yanluo was so scared that she knelt down. Is this a sign before the end of the world like what is described in novels and movies?"
"Haha, what does the destruction of the world have to do with us? We can just escape. "
"That's true."
The two of them said one after another and soon calmed down.
Suddenly.
At this moment.
Boom —
There was a loud noise.
Suddenly, a huge explosion came from the teaching building.
A shocking wave of air raged from all the passages of the teaching building and exploded.
When the wave of air reached the field, all the dust on the ground was rustled and covered the faces of the three of them.
But at this time, Rowena and the other two couldn't care less about the dust on their faces. In the wave of air, there was a terrible temperature. Even if they had been in the teaching building for a few rounds, when the wave of air blew on their faces, they could still clearly distinguish the terrible temperature mixed in the wave of air. It was very similar to the anger of Queen Yanluo, so surging, so turbulent.
Cao Tiantian and Rowena both imagined the undulating mountain range of Queen Yanluo, so huge, so angry.
Cao Tiantian: "It's her!!!"
Rowena: "It's her …"
When Queen Yanluo was angry again.
In front of the two, [Multiple Choice Question] and [Narration] reappeared.
Rowena and Cao Tiantian's faces changed slightly, but after a little surprise, they carefully observed the options. Without any verbal communication, they quickly made their own "choice".
After making their choice, the two entered the pathfinding mode and walked in two directions.
Only Oda Wu was left, standing proudly on the Ashland with a sword hanging at her waist.
After Rowena and Cao Tiantian left, the dust in the sky … stopped.
If it weren't for the ashes left all over the ground, it might be hard to believe that there were pure snow-like ashes under the sky.
…
…
And about ten minutes ago.
In the office building of Styx Junior High School.
In the vice principal's office.
Or the secretary's office.
— It was the same anyway.
Irin easily and happily solved the "Mystery of the Vice Principal's Secret Room" and arrived at the secret room.
He turned the vice principal's office upside down and didn't find any special props or mechanisms.
So he could only give up.
Back in the secret room, Irin's eyes fell on a covered mirror.
Although Irin didn't see the mirror, this shape … there should be no other possibility except for a mirror.
"Heh, it can't be a portal, right? Or is it some kind of magic mirror? "
"Once the mirror shines on me, I'll go to heaven on the spot?"
"Or, I'll be sucked into the mirror world?"
Irin smiled as many possibilities flashed through his mind.
After all, this was the beginning of the River Styx.
Wasn't it reasonable for a mirror with strange powers to appear in a school where even "magic" didn't seem out of place?
Although Yi Lin was chuckling on the surface, his vigilance was at the maximum in his heart.
Why hadn't he seen a mirror in the entire beginning of the River Styx?
Why was there one hidden in the secret room of the vice principal and the secretary?
If Irin guessed correctly, this mirror covered by a black cloth was very likely to be the only "mirror" in this world.
Irin carefully lifted a corner of the black cloth but didn't lift it completely. He reached his hand in and touched it secretly.
The touch … was nothing special.
But the "mirror" attribute instantly appeared before his eyes.
…
[Ordinary Full-Body Mirror]
[Grade] Rough
[Durability] 22
[Effect] Extremely fragile.
[Description] This is the precious full-body mirror that "Superior Deceiver Mondi" got through special channels. He liked it very much. Every time he used it with his secretary, he would carefully wipe it to prevent any dirt from staining it.
…
Rough Grade?
In other words … was it really just an ordinary full-body mirror?
Irin lowered his head and pondered.
The description of the mirror's attribute made Irin feel that something was wrong.
Superior Deceiver?
Irin's eyes flashed slightly.
And the effect column was also extremely strange.
[Extremely fragile] could also be considered an effect?
It was just an ordinary mirror, but there was something unusual about it. Anyone would find it strange.
But at this point, it didn't seem right to completely ignore the only mirror in the River Styx Junior High School and turn around to leave.
After thinking, Irin suddenly smiled and silently took out a knife.
After taking out the knife, Irin suddenly lifted the black cloth covering the mirror completely.
The surface of the mirror was as smooth as new.
And in the mirror, a "demon" with a green face and fangs and a pair of wings was "looking" at Irin with a dumbfounded expression.
Irin: "…"
Irin was expressionless. Without hesitation, he immediately raised the knife and stabbed at the "demon" in the mirror.
But at the same time, the "demon" with a green face and fangs and a pair of wings in the mirror stabbed at Irin with the dark red knife in his hand at the same speed.
Separated by an ordinary mirror, Irin and a "demon" were stabbing each other with real knives and spears. It was like a sword fight across space. It was very exciting.
But.
When the tip of Blood Jasmine's knife was less than an inch away from the mirror, Irin suddenly woke up and felt a chill on his back.
The "demon" in the mirror was stabbing at Irin, but the knife's movement also froze on the other side of the mirror. The tip of the knife in the mirror and the outside of the mirror were facing each other with equal harshness. It was as if a lifetime had passed.
Irin reacted, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
So this was what was going on!
The "demon" in the mirror was not someone else, and it was not a monster that could be killed with a HP bar. It was … him.
It was Irin in the mirror.
The ordinary mirror in front of him was like a mirror that could reveal demons. It reflected Irin's most realistic appearance.
"This is … reality?"
Irin quickly put away his knife.
He twisted his waist and stretched his arms. He was just short of doing a complete set of broadcast gymnastics like the Ancient Martial Arts Strengthening Technique.
Irin still did it.
It was not that big of a difference.
The "him" in the mirror with a strange appearance also did a round of the same movements.
"As expected … it was actually this way of descending?"
Irin finally confirmed what kind of existence they were in this trial world.
Originally, when they first entered the trial, Irin had deduced that they had come to this world in a state of "time reversal" based on the embryonic form of their facial features and the [Resentment] that was stuck to their foreheads.
But in reality, that was not the case.
Actually, when he thought about it carefully, this method did not have much meaning.
Irin did not know the age of Cao Tiantian, Hanhan, and Rowena in the real world, so he did not mention it for the time being.
However, Irin and Oda Mai were only a little over 18 years old. They were still considered young. Although it was difficult to pretend to be a junior high school student, at most they would look a little precocious. It was not exaggerated to the point of an uncle with a face full of sideburns pretending to be a junior high school student.
That was why Irin felt that this "cuteness" did not have much meaning.
Now that Irin saw the "him" in the mirror, he was completely sure of this matter.
It turned out that they did not descend in their true bodies.
If Irin guessed correctly, their current bodies were similar to Saya's birth. They were created by a certain existence and then entered this Styx Junior High School as "transfer students."
That was why Irin and the others did not realize that there was a strange sarcoma growing on their backs without them noticing.
And this was also why the moment they appeared, they were already standing on the podium of Year 3 Class 2. They completely skipped the step of entering the Inner World with their true bodies.
"It's very likely that this body is similar to the existence of a 'clone' of the original body."
"'It' used a certain method to quietly replace all of our 'data'."
"For 'it', this is not difficult at all. After all, every time we return, we can return to our 'original' state by consuming death points."
"For example, before we enter the trial, we will go through a process of 'data backup.' So when we return, no matter if we lose an arm or a leg, or any injury, even if we only have half of our body left, we can easily use death points to restore it."
"So, in fact, 'we' can also use the magic of this world? Similar to the power of Queen Yanluo? Just not found the method? "
"Then, can this kind of enhancement be brought back to the real world through learning and training, and become an ability that can be mastered by oneself?"
Irin thought of many possibilities, and his train of thought became clearer.
However.
Irin frowned again.
This still could not fully explain why there were no other mirrors in Styx Junior High other than this one.
Was it just to prevent the students from discovering his ugliness?
It couldn't be, right?
Perhaps there were other reasons that were more profound?
Irin still felt that something was wrong.
But he could not figure it out at the moment.
So he pondered more seriously.
And Irin did not notice that when he was pondering about the strangeness of the "mirror", in the middle of the mirror, a black dot appeared out of thin air.
An extremely pure black dot, like a black hole in the mirror, sucked in all of the red sexy lights in the secret room.
That black dot, from a dot, gradually expanded into a lump … a piece … a small piece.
When Irin came back to his senses, he found that "his" in the mirror seemed to be stained by a large thick ink stain. The image in the mirror, from the neck down to the navel, was completely covered by the black ink, and his original appearance could not be seen clearly.
This strange scene seemed to indicate that … something was about to happen.
The strange change came so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard. At this juncture, Irin could only take out his knife again and moisten his throat. No matter what kind of monster was about to run out of the mirror, he would be prepared to use [Calamity Entanglement] to slap its face.
Irin did not know that when the mirror was undergoing a strange change.
Between heaven and earth, the sky was filled with flying ash, white as snow, fine as sand, quietly covering the entire school, not leaving a single corner.
And what Irin did not know was that at this moment, when the sky was filled with flying ash, all of the creatures in the school, except for the apostles, looked towards the sky at the same time, kneeling on the ground, shivering.
Irin did not know anything about what was happening in the outside world.
But even if he knew, he did not have the time to care.
Because the mirror in front of him was completely covered in darkness, and the mirror was completely submerged, completely dyed in a strange black color.
All of the light, all of the reality, could not leave an image or trace on the inky black mirror.
Irin suddenly felt that this dark color was a bit familiar.
It was a bit like the black curtain that covered the beginning of Styx at night.
But it did not seem like it.
Irin's body was tense, holding the knife in his hand tightly, staring at the abyss in the mirror, not even daring to breathe loudly.
It was as if if he exhaled, he would disturb some kind of terrifying existence.
Irin understood. The situation in front of him was beyond his expectations, out of his control, out of the ordinary, extremely bad.
He should run.
Or stop all of this.
No matter what, he could not stare at the abyss in the mirror.
Because … this was inauspicious.
It was like some kind of flag before death.
But for some reason, Irin felt that in front of that darkness, Irin's breathing and thinking became incomparably difficult, his mind was blank, only leaving behind a blank chaos.
Wait a minute?
Why was it blank?
Blank and dark, it was hard to associate them together.
The normal mirror in front of him seemed to have become an abyss, or a passage that connected to the abyss, as if as long as he crossed this mirror, he would be able to reach another world.
Suddenly.
A hand appeared from the abyss.
It was a pale white palm.
From the inky black mirror, a pale white palm suddenly appeared.
Black and white, it was like a painting.
Irin's thoughts that seemed to have been frozen by the darkness, the moment the palm appeared, they became active again.
Pale, withered, desolate, dead, border, earth, sky, dominator …
When Irin saw the palm from the other side of the mirror, slowly stretching towards "this side", Irin's mind could not help but appear one after another words that did not form a sentence.
Those words did not have any meaning, Irin did not understand why, but when he saw the palm, one after another meaningless words flashed through his mind.
When Irin wanted to think carefully, he quickly forgot what the last word that flashed through his mind was, leaving only a blank mind.
That palm, could not be remembered, could not be searched, could not be named, could not be speculated.
That inky black mirror seemed to connect two worlds.
The world where Irin was.
And the world where the palm was.
The palm was getting bigger.
Bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, Irin's face changed dramatically.
A finger, without a sound, penetrated the barrier of time and space, penetrated the mirror, and came from the "other side".
That finger ….. was extremely large.
On the pale white finger, the slightly sharp black fingernails that seemed to have been carefully trimmed were even larger than Irin's face.
That was not a human's hand!
Oh, of course it could not be a human's hand ….. More accurately, that was not a hand that should exist on a normal human's body!
The moment that the huge finger slightly squeezed out of the mirror.
On the surface of the inky black mirror, with the finger as the center, circles of ripples spread out.
When the ripples reached the edge of the mirror, it turned into a series of terrifying distortions. The wall behind the mirror suddenly twisted into all kinds of strange shapes, like a whirlpool in the deep sea.
Accompanied by the terrifying distortions and vibrations, the entire mirror made a "ka ka ka" sound, as if it could not bear the burden, as if it would be crushed by that terrifying finger at any time.
No!
Irin suddenly realized.
He could not let that finger completely extend out!
This mirror, of course, could not allow that hand to completely extend out of the strange world behind the mirror. However, just the tip of the inky black fingernail was enough to make Irin feel the pressure of death. If the entire finger were to extend out ….. the consequences would be unimaginable!
When Irin came back to his senses, he felt a chill down his spine, and drops of sweat dripped down from his hair. Irin did not hesitate and frantically activated the Blood Jasmine. With the support of Nie Hongxiu's "Form Transformation", with Irin as the center, countless hair-like blood threads surged towards the "mirror" to attack.
He did this not to repel that finger, nor to fix that finger's armor. He was not so naive as to think that he could use this little bit of power to cut off that finger.
Irin's goal ….. was very simple!
Hualala — —
Countless blood threads enveloped the mirror. In the blink of an eye, that ordinary looking mirror was wrapped by the blood threads of the Blood Jasmine, forming a blood cocoon.
Irin did not care about the consumption of the blood threads as he controlled them to attack the blood cocoon.
Finally.
The blood threads retreated like a tide, and in Irin's hand, they turned back into the shape of a dagger.
After the blood threads finished attacking, there was only a large piece of thin glass shards left on the ground. There was no longer any strange inky black shadow on the surface.
That finger ….. retreated!
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Irin sat down on the ground, gasping for air. His expression was serious, and he was silent for a long time.
