Although Su Yu had embarked on the path of the trial alone, the following stages weren't too difficult.
Along the way, she encountered a few prisoners locked up in the tower and used some props.
The other girls used their decent skills to avoid them.
She walked down the stairs step by step to the bottom of the tower. There weren't many people gathered in the round hall at the bottom.
The place closest to her exit.
The person sitting there was a weirdo with nails all over his body.
Almost as soon as Su Yu's gaze fell on him, he noticed that she noticed him.
He sensed that she was sizing him up, so he turned around and made a clicking sound.
With an inexplicable sense of awe, Su Yu walked to the other side, which was further away from him.
She leaned against the wall and sat down.
Just as she raised her head,
A chuckle came from the opposite side.
Following the sound of the chuckle, she looked up and saw that opposite Su Yu, Caesar, who was playing with a deck of cards on the ground, was smirking at her.
The magician's long and narrow eyes flashed with a sharp light.
It made her suddenly feel as if there was no cover on her face.
Beside Caesar,
Was Feitan, whose face was dark. She didn't know if it was because he was in a bad mood or because his temperament was too fierce. Now, although half of his face was covered by a mask, it still made people feel full of pressure just by looking at him.
As expected, those who came down too early were troublesome people.
Su Yu touched the corner of her eyes.
She felt a little uneasy.
She lowered her head slightly and retracted her gaze. Gradually, she began to enter a state of daze.
Just like that, time passed little by little.
The surrounding stone doors opened one by one. Candidates who had passed the trial walked out one after another. Some were exhausted, some were covered in wounds, and they sat around with a look of luck on their faces.
After an unknown period of time, a stone door opened with a loud noise. A young girl with long dark blue hair walked out with a cold expression on her pretty face. She was a few steps behind her. Then, she saw a black-haired young man stumbling out.
Compared to the girl whose clothes were not messy in the slightest, his image was much more disheveled. His shirt was stained with a lot of dust from rolling on the ground, and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose had a corner broken, but it seemed to be barely usable.
Sirów looked left and right. After confirming Su Yu's direction, he walked towards her.
"It seems that your exam went very well." He pushed up his broken glasses and greeted her with a relaxed smile. "Have you been waiting for a long time? My journey wasn't very peaceful."
"Maybe it's because I'm alone, so it's less difficult." Su Yu moved aside to make some space for him to sit down. "Why? Are you so lucky to be with that girl?"
She used her eyes to signal to Vivian who was sitting in the other corner. Although she came with Feitan, it seemed that the two had no intention of teaming up. Feitan even walked together with Vivian, who had a conflict with her.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." Sirów smiled as if he was distressed. "She's really a difficult person to get along with. We didn't talk much on the way here. But it's all thanks to her. Otherwise, I would have been eliminated at the beginning of the trial, and I wouldn't have been able to sit here."
"This shows that your luck is not bad." Su Yu patted his shoulder comfortingly. "Luck is also a part of strength."
Sirów, who was comforted, smiled embarrassedly. He touched the loose hair on his cheek and was about to look up to say something when he suddenly stopped when he met her eyes.
"Su Yu, your eyes … were purple before?"
He looked at one of the girl's eyes that was exposed under the bandage and asked with uncertainty.
Although there was only a slight difference between dark purple and black, that pair of eyes was simply too beautiful. The girl's long eyelashes cast a fine shadow, but that shadow didn't make those amethyst-like eyes lose their color. Instead, it gave them an even deeper luster, making it hard for people to look away after a single glance.
Although Su Yu's eyes were also so beautiful before, they were not as blatant as now. It was as if she was sparing no effort to show off her beauty to the world, wantonly plundering people's minds.
Su Yu hurriedly averted his eyes to avoid his scrutinizing gaze. He pretended to be calm and replied, "Um … yes, is there a problem?"
Even if it wasn't, it was now.
"Okay … then I might have remembered wrongly." Sirów nodded hesitantly and leaned back against the wall to rest.
Su Yu subconsciously pulled at the bandage on her face and sighed helplessly.
That's right. On the way down from the top of the tower, she had no choice but to install the 'Eye of Venus' ability on herself. Removing the 'Eye of Venus' ability required a certain amount of stamina. Initially, she wanted to remove the ability after she had rested enough. However, before she could do so, she was noticed by Silluff. Thus, the young lady could only endure this pair of troublesome eyes for a few more days.
Anyway, there were only a few days left before her planned exit.
Thinking about the future development of the plot, Su Yu's heart calmed down. She crossed her arms and planned to rest for a while. Just as she raised her head, she suddenly felt a burning gaze that she couldn't ignore.
On the other side of the round hall, Magician, who was wearing a clown costume, had completed his tower of cards. He was now watching the girl's every move. When he saw her looking up at him, the mysterious smile on Caesar's face deepened. He picked up a card and put it to his lips to give it a light kiss.
Following his action of drawing cards, the entire tower in front of him collapsed with a loud bang.

After leaving the dark tower and standing under the sun again, everyone felt as if their bodies and minds had been purified.
Just like in the original plot, Wonder and Jie's team became the last team to reach the bottom of the tower. After a short and warm meeting, Vivian returned to the team again.
Su Yu didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, but she felt that since Vivian came out of the tower, she seemed to be a lot more enthusiastic about the blonde boy among the four. The two stood together at the stern of the ship and talked about literature, and they also seriously teased Leoli.
Standing on the second floor of the cabin quietly observed the girl's every move. Su Yu blinked with some confusion, and then gradually revealed a look of understanding.
In terms of age, the most likely person to be the target of the strategy was still Cool Lapika. Jie and Wonder were too young, and Leoli looked too mature. Although Su Yu vaguely remembered that he didn't seem to be that old, this couldn't prevent him from being excluded from the Mary Sue's strategy list.
Although this was her judgment, Su Yu always felt a little strange. The girl who was talking to Cool Lapika now looked different from the Mary Sue she had seen in the past, but she couldn't tell what was different about her.
Just as she touched her chin with one hand and thought about it, a cold voice suddenly came from behind. "I've been wanting to ask since the beginning, auntie, don't you pay too much attention to that stupid woman?"
Although the voice was deliberately lowered, there was still a hint of youthfulness in it. Su Yu turned around and saw Wonder, with his hands in his trouser pockets, standing in a half sunlight and half shadow.
He was just two steps behind her.
It could only be said that he was indeed a professional killer. He could get so close to her quietly. Su Yu subconsciously held her breath. After a while, she remembered to relax and answer his question.
"Well, I feel that she looks a lot like an old acquaintance of mine. Is there a problem?" She calmed her breath and replied without changing her expression.
But even if it was only for a second, the professional killer in front of her still keenly noticed her pause. Wonder took a step forward and said with a faint smile, "What are you nervous about? Is it really an acquaintance? I'm afraid that 'acquaintance' is not a good definition."
He slowly reached his hands out of his pockets and placed them behind his back. Su Yu didn't even need to look to know that he was in a state where he was ready to attack. If he acted rashly, the two of them might really come to blows right here and now.
"I'm really curious about who you are, auntie." With a seemingly innocent smile on his face, Wonder stared at Su Yu's bandaged face with a pair of sharp cat eyes. "That stupid woman's identity is also very interesting. You pay so much attention to her, and that shop …"
"Well, how can you tell me?" He stood half a step away from her, looking up and staring straight into her eyes. He was obviously half a head shorter than her, but at this time, the teenager inexplicably showed a kind of aggressiveness.
Su Yu, who was being interrogated like this, just kept silent for a moment with no expression on her face.
Ah, when he took a step forward, she knew that things would develop like this.
The girl's exposed eye suddenly widened slightly. It was as if all the stars in her crystal-purple eyes were suddenly connected, moving along the trajectory of some kind of law. The expression of the unsuspecting youth who had been looking directly into her eyes instantly froze.
"Forget your unnecessary curiosity." Su Yu said softly, but her tone was incomparably firm. While activating her ability, she took a step back, leaving the silver-haired teenager behind, and turned to run.
The girl slipped away in an instant, leaving Wonder Wonder standing there in a daze. After a short shock, he seemed to have not recovered from the shock.
Recalling the feeling of his mind going blank just now, his scalp could not help but tingle faintly.
"Just now … what was that?"
— —
Su Yu had long known that the next exam would be a battle for the number plate. After getting rid of Wonder Wonder, she put her number plate into her pocket.
In order to make her exit look more natural, she could not keep the number plate in her Dimensional Pocket.
Su Yu took out a piece of paper from the box and did not even look at it. She walked directly to the island and wandered aimlessly.
Since she had decided to leave here, she had to bring Sirów with her to prevent his presence from causing a butterfly effect. However, Sirów arrived at the bottom of the tower much later than her, and it would be a while before he arrived on the island.
The original ecology of the island was dense everywhere, and the air was filled with the fresh smell of soil mixed with the sea breeze, making her footsteps a little lighter.
Su Yu's hand was hanging by her side as she brushed the leaves by the roadside. Her delicate eyebrows were exposed, and she seemed to be in a daze.
It was a little risky to approach Vivian during the Hunter Exam. After all, this was the main stage of the storyline. Anything that happened now would make her nervous, so it was better to leave the exam first.
Just as she was planning her next move, there was a sudden commotion in the bushes in front of her. Then, a man in a bright clown costume walked out of the bushes without hesitation and stood by the roadside.
"Hmm …" Seeing Su Yu's stunned expression, Caesar made an ambiguous sound from his nose. He was holding a thin poker card between his fingertips, and the corner of the card was pressed against his smiling lips.
She really did not know why this man kept looking at her and smiling. Could it be that the Mary Sue aura had started to take effect?
Su Yu could not help but frown in distress. With so many items in her hands, she did not feel any sense of crisis. Subconsciously, she thought of the side effects of the items. As if she had sensed something, she did not pay attention to the man in front of her. Instead, she turned around and looked at the road behind her.
… Very well, the masked shorty had taken over the road behind her.
Although Su Yu had expected this result, she could not help but sigh for herself.
