Chapter 91: A living person who is not like a living person
Raymond did not intend to linger in the "living area" of the ship island, but found a secret channel to directly enter the "war zone".
The rule of this trial is to determine the final ranking based on the number of gold coins.
If he wants to prevent Arthur from winning the first place, he must have a sufficient number of gold coins in his hands to be foolproof.
The scale of the Hux Vulture island is not comparable to any city in Philip's territory. It is at most as large as a condensed small county. But it also has a complex three-dimensional pipe network structure like the 23rd District, which can hide
There are so many pirate places... No matter who wants to collect a lot of gold coins just by killing pirates, it is very difficult.
Therefore, in order to increase the difficulty of the trial this time, the academy has also added a regionally restricted competition mode-treasure chest plunder!
The top management of the academy placed a total of eight treasure boxes throughout the huge "war zone". Each treasure box contained fifty gold coins, which were welded to eight different places on the ship island using special alchemical techniques and could not be moved.
.
Before each trial student entered the ship island, a rough map recording the specific locations of the eight treasure chests was distributed.
At the beginning of the trial, the four-color red, orange, yellow, and green keys needed to open the treasure chest will be scattered and hidden in various corners of the ship island by high-level extraordinary persons.
The normal procedure of the trial is that the trialists or pirates cooperate and compete with each other through exploration. Only after collecting the keys of the four colors can they open the treasure chest and obtain a reward of fifty gold coins.
This means that, whether it is a pirate or a trial student, whoever can get the gold coins in the treasure box is destined to be ranked high in this trial.
The place where the eight treasure chests are placed has become a battleground.
The most cruel aspect of this trial rule is the final battle for the treasure chest. No matter who finds the key, they will eventually move closer to the eight treasure chests. When people gather together, a fierce battle will inevitably occur.
Naturally, it is not ruled out that some guys who plan to get something for nothing have already ambushed near the treasure chest, waiting to snatch the key.
Therefore, the eight places where treasure chests are placed are destined to never be peaceful at any time.
The closer it gets to the end of the trial, the more brutal the fighting will be.
...
The trial has only started for half a day now, and there are definitely very few people who can find the keys, let alone collect four of them to open the treasure chest.
However, Raymond planned to try his luck first.
Because he had a "Colin's homemade master key" in his own package.
This is a small item left to him by the mysterious man who broke into the "Ghost Fleet", and it can open most basic locks.
As long as you can loot a few treasure chests and get a few hundred gold coins in advance, you don't have to be so passive during this trial.
Even if the "master key" cannot open the treasure chest,
Raymond also planned to go to him first to investigate the situation nearby.
After all, that guy Arthur has said that he wants to win the first place in the trial, so he will definitely not let go of these treasure chests.
...
A ventilation duct somewhere in the "War Zone".
Raymond paused for a while, not sensing any sign of anyone moving, and then he carefully pried open the ventilation partition and jumped into the cabin.
"Huh... finally came in."
Since entering the war zone, Raymond's vigilance has been raised to the highest level.
He was able to see through Ruth's assassination plan in advance because their assassination methods were too amateurish.
But people like Arthur are different. After all, he has a very powerful werewolf bloodline. Raymond can't guarantee whether he also has any special means to locate himself. There is nothing wrong with being careful.
What's more, he has to face the entire Orm Academy.
"There should be a treasure chest on the two floors directly above this control room. There are several suitable hiding places. Maybe someone is already ambushing there. You must be careful..."
Raymond calculated the general route in his mind and muttered it in detail.
He dusted himself off and turned around to go out.
But just by looking up, I was almost scared out of my body!
He never expected that there was someone else in this room!
How can it be?!
Raymond's first reaction was that he was dazzled and had seen something wrong.
Just now, he was lying on the ventilation duct and listened for so long before he felt relieved and his heart stopped.
There were no footsteps, no breathing, not even a heartbeat!
This situation means that there is absolutely no living person in the cabin!
However, when he jumped down, he saw a big living person standing not far away, looking at him expressionlessly, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.
Anyone who comes to this situation will be scared to death!
...
Raymond would never have imagined that he would meet this classmate named Luo Lan here.
Her silver hair was really eye-catching, glowing with fluorescence in the dark, giving her a vaguely translucent sensory illusion.
"that..."
Raymond forced himself to speak, "Classmate Luo Lan, what are you doing here?"
When he said this, his hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword.
Such a coincidence, obviously the person who came here is evil.
He was even more surprised that his five senses were so sensitive now. Except for seeing it with his own eyes, his other senses didn't think the "person" in front of him existed.
Temperature, breathing, breath... can't be felt at all!
If he perceives it with his eyes closed, he will still think that there is nothing at this position two meters away, just a ball of air.
But unfortunately, when I opened my eyes, I saw such a big living person standing in front of me!
No...it's not certain yet that it must be a living person.
finally,
When Raymond's hand holding the sword hilt was trembling and trying to exert force, the silver-haired girl spoke.
"Waiting for you." Luo Lan responded calmly.
When Raymond heard this, he felt relieved.
She opened her mouth to speak, and finally people felt a trace of the fireworks of a living person.
but...
wait for me?
What does it mean?
Could it be that I have fallen into someone else's trap again?
...
The atmosphere in the cabin was quiet and strange, and the expected fierce fight did not happen.
"You...are you waiting for me here?"
Raymond looked at Luo Lan and seemed to have no intention of making trouble at all, and suppressed the idea of drawing his sword.
Because in his opinion, if the other party really wanted to harm him, the moment he landed on the ground without defense, he could easily be killed with a single knife.
Such a weird hiding method makes it impossible to detect.
This silver-haired Lorraine gave him a very strange feeling now. She was the weirdest person that Raymond had ever met since time travel. Even when he faced the vampire boss on the third floor of the library, he was completely different from what he is now.
It was such a terrifying and eerie feeling, with the hairs on my back standing on end.
No matter how strong the opponent is, he can at least make him feel his presence, right?
But unfortunately, he couldn't sense the Luolan in front of him at all.
There is no breath of a living person at all, but it is a living person!
He also didn’t forget that this girl was admitted into the elite class by the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that she came for Vanessa? Or maybe it was for the “forbidden object” of the Rubik’s Cube? When did the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce have such a character?
Already?
At this moment, Raymond thought of countless possibilities in his mind.
Raymond slowly let go of the hilt of the sword. Unknowingly, his hands were covered with fine sweat, and he asked again: "Why are you waiting for me?"
Luo Lan said calmly: "Help you."
Hearing this, Raymond's face twitched. Isn't there something wrong with this girl's head?
But he didn't find it funny, on the contrary, he felt that everything about it was weird.
If Luo Lan was just a weak ordinary girl, she would never have been able to get here smoothly. The junction of the pipelines is a computer room that has been abandoned for many years. Even the pirates of the Vulture Group would never set foot here. How could this girl be alone?
Found it? Those vicious pirates along the way would let her go easily?
Raymond changed the question and asked: "Um...classmate Luo Lan, how did you know that I would appear here?"
Luo Lan still cherished words like gold, and it was the same two words again, "feeling."
Upon hearing this, Raymond had a thoughtful look on his face, and he also had some guesses in his heart.
Could it be that what she awakened was some extraordinary sequence with special ability to conceal aura?
For example... Mysterious Sequence 8 [Ghost]?
That's not right... Even ghosts cannot be completely imperceptible.
Since the fight didn't start immediately, Raymond's guard has been put down to some extent, and the hand holding the sword hilt has slowly loosened his grip.
He asked tentatively: "Classmate Luo Lan, are you a transcendent?"
