"I almost … died."
After an unknown amount of time, Irin calmed down.
Thinking back to the scene just now, Irin could not help but feel a little scared.
The pressure that the pale palm brought to Irin was too terrifying. In his memory, Irin had never met such a terrifying existence.
Even if it was just a quick glance, the palm seemed to have left a pale shadow in Irin's mind. It was like a nightmare that would not go away.
"Although there is no comparison, the pressure that the palm brought to me was even more terrifying than the 'Horseman of the Apocalypse'."
If he did not guess wrongly.
That mirror was equivalent to the "Team Annihilation Engine" of this trial.
Only half of that hand's fingernail had passed through the mirror and crossed over to Yi Lin, but it made Yi Lin feel the great terror of being on the verge of death. If he really allowed the entire finger to reach out, it was hard to imagine what would happen. But the result was needless to say. It was nothing more than a team annihilation.
And the description of the tower left a chance for survival after the team annihilation engine was activated.
That was … "Effect".
Irin was initially confused. Why would a normal mirror's [Effect] column be "Extremely Fragile"?
In other words, the real use of this mirror … was to be broken.
Only after it was broken could the only way that the pale palm came to this world and prevent the team from being annihilated.
This was also … the reason why there was not a single mirror in Styx Junior High School.
"Luckily."
This was the first time since Yi Lin's rebirth that he felt so close to death. It was as if he already had one foot on the other shore. If he had taken action a little slower, he might have already completely perished in Styx Junior High School and become fertilizer for a batch of Styx Junior High School.
Why would such a terrifying existence appear in a trial of this level?
Yi Lin couldn't figure it out.
"Do you believe in God?"
When he killed Xiao Yang and took away Xiao Yang's qualification to become an apostle, that line that had only appeared in front of him once in his life unconsciously appeared in Irin's mind.
Like a brand, every word was clear, engraved in his bones, and engraved in his heart.
That pale palm, was it really "God"?
"Now that things have come to this, how can I not believe it?"
After calming herself down, Irin used her foot to gather the shattered glass into a pile and placed it in a corner.
After Irin repeatedly confirmed that the glass shards would not cause any more trouble, he finally relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.
"Unfortunately, 'my' appearance in the mirror is still very 'unique'. It even has a hint of coolness to it. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to take a second look at it."
After the crisis, Irin's mind became active again.
He was still in the midst of the trial and had yet to leave this world, so it was not yet time for him to conclude.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being.
Other than the strange mirror, there didn't seem to be anything special about the three rooms.
"That's strange. Could it be that the purpose of this secret room is really to hide this' Team Extermination Engine '?"
"Aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"
"In addition, according to this design, it seems that it would be more reasonable to set up an emergency escape route. After all, the vice-principal used it to hide demons … "
Wait a minute.
Emergency escape route?
Thinking up to this point, Irin was suddenly stunned. His expression gradually became serious.
That's right.
No wonder he kept feeling that something was wrong.
"Emergency escape route! This is an emergency escape trial! "
No wonder Irin felt that something was wrong. It was as if something was missing. This kind of creative "secret room" structure, which was rarely seen even in the real world, should have set up an emergency escape route that led directly to the outside world.
This way, no matter what happened outside, no matter what movement there was, or who barged in, the vice-principal and the secretary hiding in the secret room could immediately clean up and leave the large round bed calmly.
So that's how it is!
Irin understood.
But here was the problem.
Where was the emergency escape route?
"Could it be another old-fashioned secret room?"
Irin was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
The answer was right in front of him.
"Vice-principal, you're really good. The defense is so tight."
Irin could not use psychokinesis to penetrate the wall. He could only use the stupidest method. He took out the Xiao 13 brand ancient knife that was specially used to pry windows, dig holes, and dig holes. He knocked on the wall inch by inch to see if there was a hidden hole behind the wall.
Ten minutes later.
Irin found nothing.
He was very sure that the feedback from the wall did not indicate that there was any space behind the wall.
Or perhaps, the so-called "emergency escape route" could not be tested in such a scientific way.
"Could it be … magic? Or magic? "
In this trial, they were not in an ordinary world. This world had extraordinary and strange abilities. The unknown language in the textbook, coupled with the "face" in the mirror, Irin had already roughly guessed the true face of this Styx.
"That's right. The emergency escape route is naturally to escape from this world, not from this office building. "
"How can an ordinary emergency escape route allow people to escape from this world?"
"In other words, this' emergency escape route 'must be extraordinary. It is even very likely that it is not … a' door. '"
Irin muttered to himself, smiled, and slowly looked down at his feet.
Although it was very reasonable to lay out a high-end carpet in a secret room full of fun, it was also very suitable for rolling around, and it was not out of place.
But if there was something missing in this secret room, other than the ceiling, it would be under Irin's feet … under the thick carpet.
Irin used the all-purpose military … uh, no, the Xiao 13 brand ancient knife and carefully cut open the carpet under his feet.
It was sharp and easy to use.
After cutting open the carpet, the truth hidden by the vice-principal was finally completely revealed in front of Irin.
The next second.
Irin could not help but slowly type a question mark: "?"
…
…
At the same time.
Oda Wu was still wandering around the field.
Bored to death.
There were no monsters to kill.
Cao Tiantian and Rowena followed the instructions of the "voice-over" and ran in different directions.
When their legs started to move under the automatic pathfinding mode, Cao Tiantian and Rowena looked at each other's backs, and their expressions changed slightly.
The two girls started to flirt with each other through the communication function.
Cao Tiantian: "Sister Liu, you are not being nice."
Rowena: "What do you mean? (Smile) "
Cao Tiantian: "Where are our allies? The main mission this time is to escape, we don't have to hide it. "
Rowena: "Haha, you are right, I don't intend to hide it. I received a notification saying that something happened in the office building, and there might be clues about the emergency exit. "
Cao Tiantian: "What? How? (Shocked) "
Rowena: "What about you?"
Cao Tiantian: "The voice-over said that there might be leftover meat bones in the cafeteria."
Rowena: "?"
Cao Tiantian: "Haha, guess? Who in this school likes to gnaw on meat bones? "
Rowena: "… I guess everyone likes to gnaw on meat bones."
Cao Tiantian: "…"
Rowena: "Anyway, good luck."
Cao Tiantian: "Good luck."
Rowena: "Definitely."
Cao Tiantian: "Definitely + 1."
The two girls ended the call.
Cao Tiantian sneered. She didn't lie to Rowena. As for whether Rowena lied to her, Cao Tiantian wasn't sure.
But so what if Rowena knew that there were meat bones in the cafeteria?
Cao Tiantian's smile got bigger and bigger. When she closed the call, Cao Tiantian had already walked to the cafeteria that looked like a giant egg. Raising her head to take a look, after a strange white ash fell from the sky, the entire cafeteria's roof was covered with a layer of snow-white ash. It really looked like a huge egg, which made Cao Tiantian's appetite surge, and her mouth quickly secrete saliva.
Gulp.
Cao Tiantian swallowed subconsciously, almost squeezing out her Adam's apple.
She didn't know why, ever since she received the "Queen's Training", her taste had gotten weirder and weirder. Even seeing this kind of egg would cause her to salivate.
"Forget it, as long as I can return, everything can be cured. These things are nothing, nothing!"
Cao Tiantian thought of that night, her delicate body trembled slightly, her face turned red and white, embarrassed and scared.
"As long as I can get out of this damn place!"
Cao Tiantian made up her mind.
She stepped into the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, it was pitch black.
It wasn't meal time, so there was no one in the cafeteria.
Cao Tiantian didn't feel it when there was a sea of people, but when she sneaked into the cafeteria alone, those neatly arranged chairs, the wet stains on the table, the shadows in the corner, the smell of blood in the air, the dirty rags that were randomly placed … Everything in front of Cao Tiantian's eyes was gloomy and creepy.
"Is it a psychological effect? This is just a cafeteria. "
After arriving at the cafeteria, Cao Tiantian's feet were already free. She could only comfort herself with this.
Thinking of this, Cao Tiantian felt a lot better. The haze was dispelled, and there were no taboos.
"Yo, Tiantian, you can do it, you can do it! After all, you're a remarkable woman who survived the Queen's whip! "
Cao Tiantian touched her bald head subconsciously, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. She took out a frying pan from the storage space.
This frying pan looked inconspicuous, but it was a treasure that could attack and defend. It was very useful for robbing, killing, and arson.
It could be used to block knives, guns, and bullets. There was nothing it couldn't block. In so many trials, she had relied on this frying pan technique to survive many life and death situations.
This frying pan was her treasure. Now that there was no one around, she no longer hid her strength. She directly grasped her trump card and instantly became confident.
"According to the narration, it should be over there …"
Cao Tiantian carefully observed. Seeing that there was really no one in the cafeteria, she decisively went into the kitchen through the gap.
In the kitchen, there was a strong smell.
Cao Tiantian couldn't tell what this smell was.
The smell was complex, and it made her want to vomit. But strangely, it made Cao Tiantian salivate again.
She knew that she was not right now. She could only clench her teeth and walk all the way to a conspicuous big frying pan.
There were no windows in the cafeteria.
It was not yet night.
But the cafeteria was pitch black and silent.
This atmosphere was like that of a horror story, causing Cao Tiantian to feel nervous.
But it was just a little. After all, she was a veteran apostle who had gone through many trials. She would not be frightened by such an atmosphere.
Unless … she couldn't hold it in.
Cao Tiantian endured the strong discomfort and suddenly opened the lid of the frying pan.
In the pan, there was still half a pot of "soup" left. The soup had already cooled down, and there was a layer of white solidified oil floating on the surface. The smell in the air was partly from the leftover soup in front of her.
Cao Tiantian's expression changed slightly. She endured the nausea and directly reached into the oily soup. She quickly stirred and searched.
"I have to hurry. If that woman realizes … No, no, no matter what, as long as I can escape, everything will be fine. Eh? I got it! "
Soon, in just a few words, Cao Tiantian had already touched the long barrel bone of the hand from the depths of the soup. On the long barrel bone, there was even flesh that had not completely rotted yet. The bones of the hand were connected by tendons and hung softly.
Ka!
At this moment.
In the dead silence, in the darkness where only Cao Tiantian's muttering could be heard, a strange sound suddenly came from behind Cao Tiantian.
At first, it sounded like something accidentally fell on the ground.
She listened carefully.
It sounded familiar.
It also sounded like …
The sound of a butcher's knife on a chopping board!
"Student, the school rules state that no student is allowed to enter the kitchen without permission …"
An amiable voice came from not far behind Cao Tiantian.
“！！！”
After saying goodbye to Cao Tiantian through the communication panel.
Liu Ruyan followed the instructions and choices of the voice-over and was about to arrive at the office building.
"Eh? That is … "
Suddenly.
Liu Ruyan's pupils contracted slightly, and there was a slight fluctuation on her quiet face.
She did not know if it was a coincidence, but she just happened to see a familiar figure, stepping on the dust all over the floor, leaving the office building.
Although the two of them were slightly far away, Liu Ruyan could still distinguish who that figure was.
"It's him?"
"Why did he come out of the office building?"
"Oh no! Was I one step too late? "
"No! If I was late, why would he still stay here? He should have left this damn place long ago! "
Liu Ruyan came to a conclusion in an instant, and her heart was much more certain. Panic flashed across her face, and her expression became firm again.
Five minutes later.
Liu Ruyan came to the front of the vice-principal's office.
Although it was a hint from the voice-over, Liu Ruyan was not naive enough to think that this place would be as safe as a small hotel. So when she walked up the stairs, she was careful with every step, and did not dare to be careless.
But in reality, this process was much smoother than Liu Ruyan imagined.
Without any surprises or dangers, she arrived at her destination.
Liu Ruyan noticed at a glance that in front of the door marked as "vice-principal's office" on the floor plan, there was a very obvious square mark. There was no dust in the mark, as if a piece of paper was stuck on it not long ago, but it was taken down by someone.
"It's really him! He has already been here! "
This small discovery made Liu Ruyan's heart sink.
According to the character of the apostles, if there were any clues to escape in the vice-principal's office, Irin would have already taken it away. He would not leave it at the same place and let others take the fruit.
This was impossible.
It was also not scientific.
It did not conform to the character and habits of the apostles.
Unless … he could not take it away.
Liu Ruyan walked into the vice-principal's office with some apprehension.
The door was not locked.
Liu Ruyan easily broke through.
Since he had already been here and just left, there should not be any other danger here. Even if there was … danger, it was very likely that the treacherous man had already checked it.
Of course, Liu Ruyan could not completely deny the possibility that the man had left some traps. After all, from his appearance, there was a bit of a murderous aura, and he did not seem to be easy to get along with. It seemed that he would also do such a morally depraved thing.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's heart that had just calmed down was slightly worried again.
Liu Ruyan carefully searched the vice-principal's office.
Just as she had guessed at the beginning, there was nothing here.
Everything was as clean as the clubhouse after being cleaned.
After thinking for a while, Liu Ruyan hurriedly ran to the secretary's office next door.
The moment she pushed open the door, a weird bloody smell hit her in the face.
At a glance, the whole room was filled with messy cut marks. On the ground laid a strange corpse that had been broken into more than ten pieces that could not be pieced together.
That corpse … was not a human!
But at this time, Liu Ruyan had already guessed that all the "people" in the school were not normal. This corpse confirmed her inner thoughts, and she was not too surprised.
What surprised Liu Ruyan was the way the corpse was cut into pieces, and the sharp cut marks that were left behind around it.
It looked like a knife … but the number of cuts was too terrifying, too dense. It was as if it had been scraped by a meat grinder.
This scene made Liu Ruyan feel cold all over her body. Who knew what kind of inhuman treatment the corpse on the ground had suffered before it died.
"So pitiful."
Liu Ruyan could not help but mourn for the corpse that had been cut into many pieces on the ground for two seconds.
After the moment of mourning.
She could not help but deeply sigh at the horror of Irin.
From the scene, it could be roughly inferred that the scene at that time must have been very intense.
It was very likely that in a very short period of time, that person had instantly used some kind of ability or skill to kill this unidentified corpse on the spot.
"Too scary."
After searching around, Liu Ruyan still did not find anything other than the corpse on the ground.
She was not willing to give up.
The narration suggested that there should be clues here.
But why?
Was it really taken away by him?
Or was it that the clue was actually the corpse on the ground …? The elite monster suspected to be the secretary? What did it drop after it was killed?
Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
After a while, Liu Ruyan could only helplessly accept this cruel reality.
But at the same time, Liu Ruyan could not help but think.
Her imagination ran wild.
If that man really found something …
How about …?
Anyway, when she returned to the real world, everything would be repaired … repaired, as smooth as new …
How about …?
Maybe …?
"Ah! It's okay, you can do it! It's not like it's the first time! Yes, you can definitely do it! This is a woman's instinct! "
Liu Ruyan was a qualified apostle after all. She did not linger on the spot for too long. Instead, she quickly thought of the next step.
"As long as he hasn't left, I still have a chance."
Liu Ruyan still had this bit of confidence.
Just as Liu Ruyan was about to leave.
Her footsteps suddenly stopped.
Something was not right.
The layout of this room seemed to be wrong.
On the floor plan, the two rooms were almost square with the same length. It was a very well-designed room.
But Liu Ruyan suddenly realized that no matter if it was the vice principal's office or the secretary's office, the inside of the room was obviously rectangular. The length compared to the floor plan seemed to be shorter.
Where did the short part go?
Two minutes later.
Liu Ruyan looked at the secret compartment behind the wardrobe and was slightly stunned.
It turned out that this was where the real "secret" was.
Liu Ruyan walked into the tunnel with curiosity.
Obviously, Irin had already explored this place.
Normally, he would not leave behind anything useful.
But Liu Ruyan did not want to give up. Since she had already discovered the secret, there was no harm in taking another look.
The worst-case scenario was that she would return without any results.
What if there was?
People should always have hope. Otherwise, what was the difference between them and a salted fish?
Liu Ruyan had all kinds of thoughts and arrived at the secret room that Irin had just left not long ago.
This secret room … was full of emotions.
The moment she entered the secret room, the dark red light, the four walls, and the big round bed in the middle of the room … all reminded Liu Ruyan of some kind of pre-sleep exercise. Her face blushed slightly.
Of course, now was not the time to blush. Liu Ruyan quickly looked around the room.
There was nothing special on the wall. There were some simple decorations in the room that did not look special … Huh? What was that shiny thing in the corner?
Women seemed to have a natural fondness for shiny things. Liu Ruyan did not hesitate and quickly walked to the corner.
That shiny thing was very small. If it was not for women's natural sensitivity to things like this, she might have missed it at first glance.
"Diamond?" Liu Ruyan touched it for a while and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Glass shards?"
"Wait … Why are there glass shards here? No! To be precise, there should have been … a mirror here! A mirror! Oh right, it was a mirror! "
"He broke the mirror and took all the pieces away! But he accidentally left this glass shard behind! "
Liu Ruyan suddenly understood. No wonder when she was bathing, she especially noticed that there was no mirror in the bathroom.
After all, when she was bathing, Liu Ruyan wanted to take a closer look at the "traces" left behind by Queen Yanluo.
And now, a pile of glass shards that used to be a mirror appeared here. What did it mean in this secret room?
Liu Ruyan almost did not need to think too much to be sure. That sinister and cunning man must have found something in this room. This discovery … might be the key to escaping from this world!
But what did he find?
The more curious Liu Ruyan was, the more she felt like there was a kitten scratching and scratching in her heart. It was very itchy.
"What a pity … But maybe, I can find a way to make him say it?"
Liu Ruyan began to think about it again.
After all, it was a matter of life and death. Liu Ruyan could not ignore it.
After a while.
Liu Ruyan looked around the room again.
Other than the glass shards in the corner, Liu Ruyan also noticed that there was something strange in the room.
The big round bed … Was it placed in the middle?
It could not be, right?
Then … there was something?
Liu Ruyan's heart moved.
"Logically speaking, if that man could find this place, kill the secretary, and even be careful enough to take away the glass shards, then he should not have left a single glass shard."
"Was it on purpose?"
"No, it doesn't make sense."
Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip lightly. She kept thinking about that man's circuit while taking small steps back and forth around the big round bed.
After a while.
Liu Ruyan slapped her forehead and said in surprise, "Unless, there was something else in this secret room that attracted his attention and made him accidentally leave a glass shard!"
"Oh, I see. The truth … There is only one!"
Something else …
Liu Ruyan slowly looked at the big round bed.
Then … She pushed the big round bed away.
In an instant.
Liu Ruyan was stunned on the spot as if she was electrocuted.
“！！！”
At the same time.
On the campus.
Irin walked on the dust.
He frowned as he looked at the snow-white campus that was wrapped in silver. The earth-shattering changes in front of his eyes made Yi Lin feel astonished.
"This is … Dust?"
Why was the entire school suddenly shrouded in dust?
Why did it rain dust from the sky?
Was it a fantasy?
"No."
Irin's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, and he felt a chill down his spine.
The fine dust in his hand also couldn't help but fall from his hand.
"It's it!"
It was the pale palm that stretched out from the mirror world.
The gray campus in front of him, the desolate scenery, made Irin involuntarily associate it with the strange color of the palm.
"Pale …?"
The moment Irin said this word, a sharp pain came from the depths of his brain.
When Irin was in the secret room, when he faced the palm that seemed to bring desolation to the world, many inexplicable words flashed through his mind like lightning. But after that incident, Irin couldn't remember anything. It was as if even those words, even the description of the pale palm, had become a taboo.
But now, Irin faintly grasped a trace of memory, and when he connected it with the memory of the pale palm, he suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if something was going to break out of his skull. This situation and feeling was very strange.
Yi Lin hurriedly emptied the thoughts in his mind, and the pain immediately dissipated by quite a bit.
At this moment, Irin didn't have time to think about it.
All he could think about was the discovery he had made in the secret chamber.
Without a doubt, that was definitely the way out!
The real way out!
But … Why the hell did they set the exit to such a level of difficulty!
Were they crazy?
Was it fun?
Not to mention that it was close at hand … It was basically under their feet.
But, there was no way to activate it.
Even the experienced Irin couldn't help but feel a little depressed when faced with such a troublesome situation.
Tap tap tap tap.
Suddenly.
At the corner of the school building, there was a sound of orderly footsteps.
"Who is it?"
Irin squinted slightly. The foreshadowing didn't take too long, and in the blink of an eye, Oda Wu rushed out from the corner.
She held a knife in her hand.
The knife was already out of its sheath.
The knife … was dripping with blood.
Irin: "…"
