Chapter 254: The Road to Survival (7000 words chapter)
"It was almost...cold."
I don’t know how long it took before Yi Lin calmed down.
Recalling the scene just now, Yi Lin couldn't help but feel a little scared.
The pressure that that pale palm put on Yi Lin was really terrifying. In her memory, Yi Lin had never encountered such a terrifying existence.
Even if it was just a quick glance, that palm seemed to leave a pale shadow in Yi Lin's mind, lingering like a nightmare.
"Although there is no comparison, the pressure that that palm brought to me was actually more terrifying than the original 'Apocalypse Knight'."
If I guess correctly.
That mirror is equivalent to the "group-killing engine" of this trial.
Only half of the nails on that palm passed through the mirror and crossed the border, which made Yi Lin feel a great terror of dying. If the whole finger was really extended, what would happen... It is unimaginable.
But needless to say, the consequences are nothing more than the end of the group being wiped out.
However, the description of the tower's attributes left a glimmer of hope after the group's annihilation opportunity was activated.
That's... "effect".
Yi Lin was still surprised at first, why the [Effect] column of an ordinary mirror turned out to be "extremely fragile".
In other words, the real purpose of this mirror...is to break it.
Only by smashing it into pieces can we completely destroy the only way for the pale palm to come to this world, and completely avoid the occurrence of mass destruction.
This is also... the reason why there is not even a single mirror in Styx Junior High School.
"fortunately."
This is the first time since Yi Lin's rebirth that he feels so close to death, as if a foot has already stepped into the other side. If he had been slower, he might have completely fallen into the Styx Junior High School and become a mess.
Fertilizer at Styx Junior High School.
Why would such a terrifying existence appear in a trial of this level?
Yilin was puzzled.
【Do you believe in God?】
When killing Henry Zhang and taking away Henry Zhang's qualification to become an apostle, the line that only appeared in front of him once in his life appeared in Yi Lin's mind inadvertently.
Like a brand, the words are clear, engraved and unforgettable.
Is that pale palm really a "god"?
"How can you not believe it now that things have happened?"
After calming down, Yi Lin used her feet to smash the completely broken glass shards on the ground into a pile and placed it in the corner.
After Yi Lin repeatedly confirmed that the glass shards would not cause any more trouble, she finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Unfortunately, the look of 'my' in the mirror is still very 'chic' and a bit cool. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to take a second look."
After the crisis, Yi Lin's mind became active again.
He is still undergoing trials and has not yet left this world, nor has it been time to summarize.
I had doubts in my heart, so I suppressed them for the time being.
Apart from the odd mirror, there seems to be nothing special about the three consecutive rooms in the shape of the word "PIN".
"It's strange. Is the function of this secret room really just to hide this 'group-destroying engine'?"
"It's a bit too fussy."
"In addition, according to this design idea, it seems that it is more reasonable to set up an emergency escape passage. After all, it is used by the vice-principal to hide monsters in the golden house..."
etc.
escape route?
After thinking about this, Yi Lin was suddenly stunned, and her expression gradually became serious.
That's right.
No wonder he always felt something was wrong.
"Escape hatch! This is an escape trial!"
No wonder Yi Lin felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing. This creative "secret room" structure, which is rare even in the real world, should have an emergency escape route that leads directly to the outside world.
In this way, no matter what happens outside, what movement there is, or who breaks in, the vice principal and secretary hiding in the secret room can tidy up immediately and leave the big round bed calmly.
I see!
Yi Lin was stunned.
But here comes the problem.
Where are the emergency escape routes?
"Isn't this the same old secret room again?"
Yi Lin was so depressed that she almost vomited blood.
The answer is clearly right in front of us.
"Vice principal, you are really good at guarding me so tightly."
Yi Lin couldn't use telekinesis to penetrate the wall, so he could only use the clumsiest method, taking out the Xiao Shisan brand ancient knife specially used to pry the windows, dig holes and fish out things, and beat on the wall inch by inch to see if there was anything hidden behind the wall.
Hollow.
ten minutes later.
Yi Lin found nothing.
He was very sure that the tactile feedback from the wall did not exist in any space behind the wall.
Or perhaps, the so-called "escape passage" cannot be tested in this scientific way.
"Could it be...magic? Or maybe it's 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 "Zun Rong" in the mirror, Yi Lin had roughly guessed this.
The true face of Styx Junior High School.
"That's right. The escape route is naturally to escape from 'this world', not from this office building."
"How can an ordinary 'escape passage' allow people to escape from this world?"
"In other words, this 'escape exit' must be extraordinary, and it is even very likely that it is not... a 'door'."
Yi Lin muttered to herself, smiled, and slowly looked at her feet.
Although it is very reasonable to lay a layer of high-end carpet in an interesting secret room, it is also suitable for rolling around, and it is not against the rules.
But if there is anything missing in this secret room, apart from the ceiling, there is only Yi Lin's feet...under the thick carpet.
Yi Lin used an all-purpose military...er, Xiao Shisan brand ancient knife to carefully cut the carpet under her feet.
Sharp and easy to use.
After cutting the carpet, the truth hidden by the vice-principal was finally revealed in front of Yi Lin.
The next second.
Yi Lin couldn't help but slowly typed a question mark: "?"
…
…
at the same time.
Oda Mai is still wandering around the playground.
Totally bored.
No monster to cut.
Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan each followed the "narration" prompts and ran in different directions.
When their legs started to activate in the automatic path-finding mode, Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan looked at each other's backs, their expressions changing slightly.
The two women randomly started flirting in the communication function.
Cao Tiantian: Sister Liu, are you not kind?
Liu Ruyan: How to say? (smile)
Cao Tiantian: Where are the allies we agreed upon? The main mission this time is to escape, there is no need for us to hide them.
Liu Ruyan: Haha, that's right, I didn't intend to hide it. I received a reminder that something happened in the office building, and there might be a reminder about the exit.
Cao Tiantian: What? How could it be? (Shocked)
Liu Ruyan: What about you?
Cao Tiantian: The narrator reminds that there may be meat bones left over from making soup in the canteen.
Liu Ruyan:?
Cao Tiantian: Haha, guess? Who in this school likes to chew meat and bones the most?
Liu Ruyan:..., I guess everyone likes to chew.
Cao Tiantian:…….
Liu Ruyan: Anyway, I wish you good luck.
Cao Tiantian: Good luck and good luck.
Liu Ruyan: Must win.
Cao Tiantian: Must win 1.
The two women ended the call.
Cao Tiantian smiled coldly. She did not lie to Liu Ruyan. As for whether Liu Ruyan lied to her, Cao Tiantian was not sure.
But what if Liu Ruyan knew there were meat and bones in the cafeteria?
Cao Tiantian smiled more and more. When she closed the communication interface, Cao Tiantian had already walked to the dome-like canteen. When she raised her head, she saw that after a burst of white ash fell strangely from the sky, the top of the entire canteen was covered with dust.
Covered with a layer of snow-white ash, it really looked like a huge egg, which made Cao Tiantian's appetite surge and saliva secreted rapidly in his mouth.
Gudong.
Cao Tiantian's subconscious swallowing action almost squeezed out her Adam's apple.
For some reason, since she accepted the "Queen's training", her taste has become more and more weird. Even seeing this giant egg will trigger the conditioned reflex of salivation.
"Forget it, as long as we 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, feeling ashamed and scared.
"Just get out of this damn place!"
Cao Tiantian silently made up her mind.
She stepped into the cafeteria.
It was pitch dark in the cafeteria.
It's not meal time now, and the huge canteen is empty.
I didn’t realize it when there was a huge crowd of people, but when Cao Tiantian slipped into the cafeteria alone, the neatly arranged seats, the residual wet marks on the table, the shadows in the corners, the smell of blood in the air, and the things placed randomly everywhere
Dirty rag... Everything in front of him was so eerie and weird that it made Cao Tiantian's hair stand on end.
"Psychological effect, right? This is just a canteen."
After arriving at the cafeteria, Cao Tiantian's feet were free again, and now she could only comfort herself in this way.
Thinking about it this way, Cao Tiantian felt a lot more comfortable, the haze was gone, and there were no taboos.
"Yoxi, Tiantian, you can do it, come on! After all, you are a strange woman who managed to escape from the Queen's whip!"
Cao Tiantian subconsciously touched Yan Luo's bald forehead, with a trace of hatred flashing in her eyes, and took out a pan from the storage space with her backhand.
This frying pan looks inconspicuous, but it is a treasure that integrates offense and defense. It can be used to rob homes, kill people and set fires. It is very useful.
It can be used to block knives, guns, and bullets. In so many trials, she relied on this superb skill to survive life and death situations.
This pot is her treasure. Now that there is no one around, she no longer hides her clumsiness. She directly holds the trump card in her hand and instantly becomes confident.
"According to the narrator's prompts, it should be there..."
After careful observation, Cao Tiantian saw that there was really no one in the cafeteria, so she decisively got into the back kitchen through the opening for cooking.
There is a strong smell in the kitchen.
Cao Tiantian couldn't tell what it smelled like.
The taste was complex, making me want to vomit, but it also made Cao Tiantian salivate again.
She knew something was wrong with her now, so she could only grit her teeth and walk all the way to a conspicuous cauldron.
There are also no windows in the cafeteria.
It's not night yet.
But it was pitch dark and silent in the cafeteria.
This atmosphere, like in a thriller, made Cao Tiantian feel a little nervous.
But only briefly. After all, he is a senior apostle who has experienced several trials and will never be intimidated by this atmosphere.
Unless... I can't help it.
Cao Tiantian resisted the strong discomfort and suddenly opened the lid of the pot.
There was still a small half pot of "soup" left in the pot. The soup had already cooled down, and a layer of white solidified fat floated on the surface. Part of the smell that filled the air came from the remaining soup in front of me.
Cao Tiantian's face changed slightly. She endured the feeling of nausea and directly reached into the greasy soup. She quickly stirred and searched.
"I have to hurry up. If I let that woman react... No, no matter what, as long as I can escape, everything will be fine, everything will be fine. Huh? I have it!"
Soon, in just one sentence, Cao Tiantian had touched the long cylindrical bone from the depths of the soup. The long cylindrical bone was even adhered to the skin and flesh that was not rotten, and the finger bones were connected with tendons.
Hanging softly.
Click!
at this time.
In the dead silence, in the darkness with only Cao Tiantian talking to herself, a strange noise suddenly came from behind Cao Tiantian.
At first glance, it sounded like something had accidentally fallen to the ground.
Listen carefully again.
It seems a bit familiar.
Also like...
The sound of the butcher's knife chopping on the chopping board!
"This classmate, the school rules stipulate that no student is allowed to break into the kitchen without permission..."
An amiable voice came from not far behind Cao Tiantian.
"!!!"
After saying goodbye to Cao Tiantian in the communication panel.
Liu Ruyan followed the narrator's prompts and choices and was about to arrive at the office building.
"Huh? That's..."
suddenly.
Liu Ruyan's pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of fluctuation appeared on her quiet and pretty face.
She didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but she happened to see a familiar figure leaving the office building, stepping on the dust everywhere.
Although the two of them met a little far away, Liu Ruyan could still tell who the figure was.
"It's him?"
"How did he come out of the office building?"
"Oops! Is it too late?"
"No! If it was too late, how could he still be here? He should have left this ghost place long ago!"
Liu Ruyan came to the conclusion in an instant, and felt quite sure in her heart. Her panic disappeared in a flash, and her expression became firm again.
five minutes later.
Liu Ruyan came to the vice principal's office.
Although it was a reminder from the narrator, 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 cautious at every step, fearing every step, and not daring to be careless.
But in fact, this process was smoother than Liu Ruyan imagined.
Without any surprises, she arrived at her destination.
Liu Ruyan noticed at a glance that in front of the door of the "Vice Principal's Office" marked on the floor plan, there was an obvious square mark. There was no dust in the mark, as if a piece of paper had been pasted on it not long ago, but it was
Someone took it off.
"It is indeed him! He has already been here!"
This subtle discovery made Liu Ruyan's heart sink.
According to the apostle's habit of leaving nothing behind, if there were any escape clues in the vice-principal's office, Yi Lin would have definitely taken them away and would never leave them where they were and let others pick the fruits.
This is impossible.
It's not scientific either.
It is not in line with the character and habits of the apostles.
Unless...you can't take it with you.
Liu Ruyan walked into the vice principal's office with some anxiety.
The door is not locked.
Liu Ruyan broke through easily.
Since he has already been here and just left, there should be no other dangers here. Even if there is... danger, it is likely that the insidious man has checked it out.
Of course, Liu Ruyan couldn't completely deny the possibility that that person would leave some traps. After all, he looked a bit evil on the outside and was not easy to get along with. He seemed to be capable of such moral turpitude.
thing.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's heart that had just been relieved was slightly raised again.
Liu Ruyan carefully searched the vice principal's office.
As she initially suspected, nothing was found here.
Everything is as clean as a clubhouse after a sweep.
After thinking for a while, Liu Ruyan hurriedly ran to the secretary's office next door.
The moment he opened the door, a strange smell of blood hit his face.
At a glance, the entire room was covered with messy cutting marks, and lying on the ground was a strange corpse that had been broken into more than ten pieces and could not be put back together at all.
That corpse...isn't human!
But by this time, Liu Ruyan had already guessed that the "people" in the entire school were unusual. This corpse confirmed her inner thoughts, and there were not many surprises.
What surprised Liu Ruyan was the way the body was dismembered and the sharp cuts remaining around it.
Like knives... but the number is too terrifying and too dense. It's like being scraped through a meat grinder.
This scene made Liu Ruyan feel cold all over. Only the devil knew what kind of inhuman treatment the corpse on the ground suffered before it died.
"poor thing."
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but mourn for two seconds for the body that was cut into many sections on the ground.
After a moment of silence.
She couldn't help but feel deeply how terrible Yi Lin was.
It can be roughly inferred from the scene that the scene at that time must have been very intense.
It is very likely that in a very short period of time, that person would use some ability or skill to instantly kill the unidentifiable corpse on the spot.
"terrible."
After searching around, Liu Ruyan found nothing except the bodies on the ground.
She was unwilling to do so.
The narrator reminds me that there may be clues here.
But why?
Was it really taken away by him?
Or is the clue actually the corpse on the ground...? The elite monster suspected to be the secretary? What exploded after being killed?
Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes full of unwillingness.
After a while, Liu Ruyan could only accept this cruel fact helplessly.
But at the same time, Liu Ruyan's mind couldn't help but become active again.
have a bee in one's bonnet.
If that man really discovered something...
How about...?
Anyway, when we return to the real world, everything will be repaired... restored and smooth as new...
How about...?
Maybe...?
"Acridine! It doesn't matter, you can do it! Anyway, it's not once or twice! Well, it must be possible! This is a woman's instinct!"
After all, Liu Ruyan was also a qualified apostle. She did not stay there for too long, but instead quickly thought about the next step.
"As long as he hasn't left, I still have a chance."
Liu Ruyan still has this kind of confidence.
Just when Liu Ruyan was about to leave.
Her steps suddenly stopped.
wrong.
There seems to be something wrong with the layout of this room.
In the floor plan, the two rooms are almost square, with equal lengths and lengths, making it a very regular house design.
But Liu Ruyan suddenly discovered that whether it was the vice-principal's office or the secretary's office, the interior of the room had an obvious rectangular structure, and the length seemed to be shorter than the plan view.
Where did the short part go?
Two minutes later.
Liu Ruyan looked at the secret compartment behind the wardrobe, her expression slightly startled.
It turns out that this is where the real "secret" lies.
Liu Ruyan entered the passage with curiosity.
Obviously, this place has been explored by Yi Lin.
Normally, nothing useful will be left behind.
But Liu Ruyan didn't want to give up. Since he had discovered the secret, it didn't hurt to take another look.
The worst outcome is just to return in vain.
What if there is?
People always have to have hope, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?
With various small thoughts, Liu Ruyan arrived at the secret room that Yi Lin had just left not long ago.
This secret room...is full of emotions.
The moment he entered the secret room, the dark red lights, the four walls, and the imaginative big round bed in the center of the room... all reminded Liu Ruyan of some kind of bedtime exercise, and her face turned red.
Of course, now is not the time to blush, Liu Ruyan quickly looked at the surrounding environment.
There isn’t much specialness on the walls, and there are some simple decorations in the room that don’t look special... Huh? What are those shiny things in the corner?
Women seem to have a natural affinity for shiny things. Liu Ruyan did not hesitate and quickly walked towards the corner.
That shiny thing is very small. If women weren't naturally sensitive to such things, they might have been ignored at a glance.
"Diamonds?" Liu Ruyan stroked for a while, then she couldn't laugh or cry: "Glass shards?"
"Wait... why is there glass shards here? No! To be precise, there should have been... a mirror here! It's a mirror! By the way, it turns out to be a mirror!"
"He broke the mirror and took all the pieces away! But he accidentally left this glass shard behind!"
Liu Ruyan suddenly realized that no wonder when she was taking a shower, she especially noticed the strange thing that there was no mirror in the bathroom.
After all, while she was cleaning up, Liu Ruyan still wanted to take a closer look at the "traces" left by Queen Yanluo.
But now a pile of glass shards that used to be mirrors appear here. What does it mean in this secret room?
Liu Ruyan almost didn't need to think too much, and she was certain and convinced that that sinister, cunning and terrifying man must have discovered something in this room. This discovery... might be the key to their escape from this world!
But what exactly did he find?
The more curious Liu Ruyan became, the more it felt like there was a kitten scratching and scratching in her heart, and it was very itchy.
"It's a pity...but maybe we can find a way to get him to say it?"
Liu Ruyan began to have small thoughts again.
After all, it was a matter of life and death, and Liu Ruyan could not ignore it.
After a while.
Liu Ruyan looked at the room again.
In addition to the shards of glass in the corner, Liu Ruyan also noticed something inconsistent in the room.
The big round bed...is it placed in the center?
Isn't that the case?
So you have...ideas?
Liu Ruyan's heart moved.
"It stands to reason that that man was able to find this place, kill the secretary instantly, and even be careful enough to take away the broken glass, so he shouldn't leave a single shard of glass behind."
"Is it intentional?"
"No, that doesn't make sense."
Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip lightly, constantly inserting herself into the man's brain circuit, while taking small steps, pacing back and forth around the big round bed.
After a while.
Liu Ruyan slapped her forehead and said in shock: "Unless there is something else in this secret room that attracted his attention, which made him accidentally leave a glass shard!"
"Oh, I see, there is only one truth!"
something else……
Liu Ruyan slowly looked at the big round bed.
Then... push the big round bed away with force.
In an instant.
Liu Ruyan froze in place as if she had been shocked by electricity.
"!!!"
at the same time.
in the school.
Yilin walks on ashes.
He frowned and looked at the snow-covered campus, which was covered with a layer of snow-white. Yilin was surprised by the earth-shaking changes before his eyes.
"Is this... gray?"
Why was the entire school suddenly shrouded in ash?
Is the sky gray?
So fantasy?
"No."
Suddenly, Yi Lin's pupils shrank slightly and a chill ran down her spine.
The handful of fine dust held in his hand couldn't help but slip from his hand.
"That's it!"
It's the pale hand stretched out from the world behind the mirror.
The gray campus and desolate scenery in front of her made Yi Lin involuntarily think of the strange color of that palm.
"pale……?"
The moment Yi Lin said this word, there was a sharp pain in the depths of her brain.
In the secret room, when Yi Lin faced the hand that seemed to bring desolation to the world, many inexplicable words flashed through her mind like lightning. But after the incident, Yi Lin could not remember anything, as if she could not even remember those words.
Words, even descriptions of pale hands, have become taboo.
But now, Yi Lin caught a faint impression and connected it with the memory of that pale palm. He suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if something was about to burst out of his head. This situation and feeling was very...
eccentric.
Yi Lin quickly cleared her mind of all thoughts, and the pain immediately dissipated a lot.
At this moment, Yi Lin had no time to think too much.
All he could think about was the discovery in the secret room.
There is no doubt that there is definitely the way to escape!
The real way out!
But...why the hell do you set the exit to this level of difficulty!
Are you sick?
Is this interesting?
Let alone being close at hand...it was simply stepping on it.
However, there is no way to start it.
Even the experienced Yi Lin couldn't help but feel a little depressed when faced with this painful situation.
Kick, kick, kick.
suddenly.
Around the corner of the teaching building, there was a sound of methodical footsteps.
"who is it?"
When Yi Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, the foreshadowing did not last long, and Oda Mai rushed out from around the corner in the blink of an eye.
