"I Don't Want to Be a Scourge ()" Find the latest chapter!
Queen Yanluo suddenly, very abruptly, without warning... knelt down.
Oda Mai just picked up the knife and was about to cut her own wrist. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but pause, her hard face was a little dazed.
Queen Yanluo wrapped her body heat within half a meter around, and did not leak half a meter away.
Queen Yanluo's posture at this moment seemed to want to shrink herself into a thick tortoise shell, not daring to move.
All the students in the second class of the third year, the green light in their eyes suddenly dimmed in an instant, as if they were very happy when they were suddenly said "normal" and then suddenly became depressed.
All the students curled up in every corner of Class Two, three years old, as if they were infected by Queen Yanluo, and they were also trembling endlessly.
The situation in the second class of the third year was strangely reversed. The queen knelt on the ground for some reason, and the other students were trembling.
Ah this?
What kind of fat is this?
Is it the loss of morality or the distortion of human nature?
Regarding this sudden drastic change, Liu Ruyan and Gao Tiantian didn't know what to do.
Oda Mai leaned against the wall and smiled coldly.
She is fighting high.
She saw blood with the knife.
She will be invincible.
She sheathed her knife and was about to—
"Let's go!"
Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan finally came to their senses and made their own choices.
After Queen Yanluo's heat was absorbed, the heat in the air was finally not so terrifying. The two of them were sweating profusely. Taking advantage of this inexplicable situation, they rushed out from their respective positions, one of them holding Oda Mai's arm, Without saying a word, Oda Mai, who was about to use a knife to enjoy double happiness, rushed out of the classroom through the back door, and ran away.
Oda Mai was expressionless, and slowly typed a question mark: "?"
Cao Tiantian explained bitterly: "You are stupid! Did you forget that this is an escape mission, our purpose is not to kill monsters, but to escape from this dilapidated school!"
As the three of them ran, Liu Ruyan panted slightly: "Yes, now is not a good time to farm monsters, and there is no obvious benefit to spawning monsters... Besides, do you really think that with Queen Yanluo's strength, we Can you really kill her when she kneels down?"
Cao Tiantian didn't know what she thought of, her face changed, and she shook her head frantically, expressing her disbelief.
actually.
Originally, according to the apostle's usual style, Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan didn't pay attention to Oda Mai at all.
After all, you are willing to stay and fight monsters to attract hatred and become a tank. You love me, and we didn't force you. When you are pulling the boss's hatred, we slipped away. Isn't this a normal operation?
But just when Oda Mai was about to draw his sword to kill Queen Yanluo, Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan had a narration that swiped the screen at the same time.
Those three options were vaguely suggestive.
Mai Oda...can't die!
The force value she displayed will be very useful in the future!
Cao Tiantian nodded secretly.
really!
There is no unparalleled road, and this trial turned out to be the case.
As long as it reaches a certain point in time, the narration will give escape hints little by little, allowing the surviving apostles to find the real way out from the various narrations and option prompts.
I see!
I see!
Cao Tiantian suddenly understood.
Turns out that's the reason for the "time limit".
As time goes by, the students and teachers in the school will become demonized and become more and more weird, and "hints" will follow one after another.
As the saying goes, there is no absolute dead end in trials, that's what it is!
Otherwise, according to the normal situation, if they really did not give any hints, they would not be able to find a real way out of Styx Junior High School in just three days.
The difficulty...is too high.
Escape trial, as the name suggests, this inner world is used to escape,
Not for hard anal.
"Run!"
Oda Mai silently put away the knife.
The three of them did not hesitate, took two steps in parallel, and quickly walked down the stairs to the vast playground.
When Cao Tiantian, Zhi Tianwu, and Liu Ruyan arrived at the playground, they all had varying degrees of astonishment on their faces.
"It's... snowing? When?"
Liu Ruyan's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, she cautiously stretched out her hand, pieces of "snow" as delicate as goose feathers floated slowly in mid-air, and finally part of it was carried by Liu Ruyan in the white palm.
Where the "snowflake" touches, there is no trace of coolness, and there is no sign of being melted by body temperature.
"This...is not snow."
Liu Ruyan said suddenly.
Cao Tiantian was taken aback: "What is it if it's not snow?"
Liu Ruyan: "This is ash. That's right, it looks like ashes produced after burning. This sky is raining 'ash'!"
in front of you.
Styx Junior High School.
Whether it is the playground, the ground, the vegetation, everything as far as the eye can see is covered by a blank and pale ash. A campus shrouded in ice and snow.
The three of them were walking on the campus, and when they stepped on it, a cloud of fine dust rose up behind them, but soon, it was gradually covered by the falling ash from the sky, covering up their footprints.
Pale sky, pale ashes, vast land, heaven and earth, barren.
What a desolate and beautiful scene!
Even Mai Oda, who always had swords and knives in her mind, had an indifferent expression at the moment, staring at the sky, making it impossible to know what was going on in her heart.
The ground of ashes in front of them, and even the ashes falling on their bodies and shoulders, did not make Liu Ruyan and the other three feel "dirty". Different from the ordinary dust in the real world, the "ash" floating in front of the eyes is paler, purer, and more flawless, making one even unbearable to touch or trample on it.
It seems that even making loud noises to destroy this deadly, desolate and strangely beautiful atmosphere is also a sin.
Cao Tiantian raised her head, wiped her eyes, couldn't believe it, and muttered to herself: "Why is there... dust in the sky?"
Liu Ruyan shook her head: "I don't know either. But I guess... Queen Yanluo's reaction is very likely related to the ash in the sky."
Cao Tiantian felt chills all over her body: "Even Queen Yanluo knelt down on the spot in fear. Isn't this like the description in novels and movies? This is a sign before the world is destroyed?"
"Hehe, what does the destruction of this world have to do with us? Just escape."
"That's true."
The two of them said a word, and quickly calmed down.
suddenly.
at this moment.
boom--
There was a loud bang.
There was a sudden loud explosion sound from the teaching building.
An astonishing wave of air ravaged and exploded from all passages in the entire teaching building.
When the air wave reached the playground, all the dust on the ground was blown up, covering the faces of the three of them.
But at this moment, Liu Ruyan and the others couldn't care less about their embarrassment, and there was a terrifying temperature in that wave of air. Even after tossing and turning in the aisle of the teaching building for a few rounds, when the heat wave hit their faces, they could still clearly distinguish the terrifying high temperature mixed in the air wave, which was very much like Queen Yanluo's anger, so surging, so turbulent.
Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan coincidentally imagined Queen Yanluo's undulating mountains like giants and anger.
Cao Tiantian: "It's her!!!"
Liu Ruyan: "It's her..."
When Queen Yanluo went berserk again.
In front of the two, [multiple choice] and [narration] reappeared.
Liu Ruyan and Cao Tiantian's expressions changed slightly, but after being a little surprised, they carefully observed the options, and quickly made their respective "choices" without communicating with each other.
After making a choice, the two entered the pathfinding mode and walked in two directions respectively.
In the same place, only Oda Mai was left standing proudly on the gray earth with a knife hanging from his waist.
After Liu Ruyan and Cao Tiantian left, the dust flying in the sky... stopped.
If it weren't for the ashes left everywhere, it might be hard for people to believe that there used to be ashes as pure as snow flying all over the sky under this sky.
...
...
And about ten minutes ago.
The office building of Styx Junior High School.
Office of the Vice-Chancellor.
Or the secretary's office.
—It’s all the same anyway.
Yi Lin easily and happily cracked the "mystery of the vice principal's affair in the secret room" and arrived at the secret room.
He turned the vice principal's office upside down, but found no special props or mechanisms.
So I can only give up.
Back in the secret room, Yi Lin's eyes fell on a covered mirror.
Although Yi Lin didn't see the mirror, but this shape...besides being a mirror, there should be no other possibility.
"Heh, it shouldn't be a portal, right? Or some kind of magic mirror?"
"Once it is reflected in the mirror, will it ascend to heaven in place?"
"Or is it something like being sucked into the mirror world?"
Yi Lin smiled, and many possibilities quickly flashed through her mind.
After all, this is Styx Junior High School.
In a weird academy where even "magic" exists perfectly, isn't it reasonable for a mirror with weird power to appear?
Although Yi Lin smiled on the surface, she put her vigilance to the maximum in her heart.
Why has the entire Styx Junior High School never seen a mirror?
Happened to hide a piece in the secret room of the vice-principal and the secretary?
If Yi Lin's guess is correct, this mirror covered by the black cloth is very likely to be the only "mirror" in this world.
Yi Lin lifted up the corner of the black cloth carefully, but did not completely lift it up, and put her hand into it to touch it quietly.
The feel is... nothing special.
But the attributes of the "mirror" suddenly appeared in front of the eyes,
...
【Ordinary full body mirror】
[grade] rough
【Durability】22
【Effect】Extremely fragile.
[Description] This is a precious full-length mirror obtained by "Superior Fraud Mondi" through a special channel. He likes it very much. After using it with the secretary, he will wipe it carefully so as not to get any dirt.
...
Rough grade?
That is... is it really just an ordinary full-length mirror?
Yi Lin lowered her head and thought.
In terms of the attributes of the mirror, Yi Lin felt more and more wrong with that one-word explanation.
A high-ranking fraudster?
Yi Lin's eyes flickered slightly.
And the effect column is also extremely weird.
[Extremely fragile] can also be counted as an effect?
An ordinary mirror has unusual descriptions, and anyone will find it weird.
But at this point, it seems unreasonable to completely ignore the only mirror in Styx Junior High and turn around and leave.
After thinking about it, Yi Lin suddenly smiled, and silently took out the knife.
After taking out the knife, Yi Lin violently lifted the black cloth covering the mirror completely.
Mirror smooth as new.
And in the mirror, a "devil" with blue face, fangs and wings, was "looking" at Yi Lin with a bewildered expression!
Yi Lin: "..."
Yi Lin remained expressionless and without any hesitation, immediately raised the knife and stabbed at the "demon" in the mirror.
But at the same time, the "devil" with blue face, fangs and wings in the mirror stabbed towards Yi Lin with the same movement and speed with the dark red short knife in his hand.
Through an ordinary mirror, Yi Lin and a "demon" stab each other with real swords and guns, just like fencing through the air, which is very exciting.
but.
When Xue Jasmine's knife tip was less than an inch away from the mirror, Yi Lin suddenly woke up with a chill down her spine.
The action of the "devil" in the mirror stabbing Yi Lin also froze on the other side of the mirror. The tip of the knife in the mirror and outside the mirror, across the mirror, seemed to be facing each other in a lifetime.
Yi Lin reacted, her pupils suddenly shrank.
It turned out to be such a thing!
The "devil" in the mirror is not someone else, nor a monster with a blood bar that can be cut, but... him.
It was Yi Lin in the mirror.
The ordinary mirror in front of him is like a demon mirror, reflecting Yi Lin's most real posture.
"Is this... real?"
Yi Lin quickly put away the knife.
He twisted his waist and stretched his arms, just short of performing a complete set of radio gymnastics-style ancient martial arts to strengthen his body.
Erin still did it.
Not bad at all.
The "he" who was in a strange shape in the mirror also performed the same movement for a round.
"Sure enough...is this how it came?"
Yi Lin was finally convinced of what kind of existence they were in this trial world.
Originally, at the beginning of the trial, Yi Lin deduced that they came to this world in a state of being "backwards in time" through the rudiments of the five sense organs and the "resentment" attached to the forehead.
But it is not.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this approach does not make much sense.
Yi Lin doesn't know the real ages of Cao Tiantian, Han Han, and Liu Ruyan, so I won't mention them for now.
But Yi Lin and Oda Mai are only in their early eighteenth years, and they are still pink and tender. Although it is difficult to play a junior high school student as a cameo, at most it looks a bit precocious, and it is not exaggerated to the point where a bearded uncle pretends to be a middle school student.
That's why Yi Lin felt that this "cute transformation" didn't make much sense.
But now when Yi Lin sees "him" in the mirror, she is completely sure about it.
It turned out that they didn't come in the body at all.
If Yi Lin's guess is correct, their current bodies are similar to Saya's birth method, created by a certain existence, and then entered this Styx Junior High School through the method of "transfer students".
That's why Yi Lin and the others had a weird sarcoma growing on their back without knowing it.
And that's why, the moment they appeared on the stage, they were already standing on the podium of the second class of the third year, completely omitting the steps of entering the inner world with their bodies.
"It is very possible that this body is similar to a 'replica body'."
"'It' quietly replaced all our 'data' in some way."
"For 'it', this kind of thing is not difficult to do at all. After all, every time we return, we can restore the 'original' state by consuming death points."
"It's like, before we enter the trial, we will go through a 'data backup' process, so when we return, no matter whether it is a missing arm or short leg, any injury, even if only half of the body is left, it can be easily restored by consuming points .”
"So in fact 'we' can also use the magic of this world? Similar to Queen Yanluo's power? It's just that we haven't found a way?"
"Then, can this kind of strengthening be brought back to the real world through learning and exercise, and become an ability to master independently?"
Yi Lin thought of many possibilities, and her thoughts became clearer.
But.
Erin frowned again.
This still cannot fully explain why there are no other mirrors in Styx Junior High School other than here.
Just to prevent students from discovering their ugliness?
Can't it?
Maybe there are other more meaningful reasons?
Yi Lin always felt that something was wrong.
But I couldn't figure it out for a while.
So he pondered more seriously.
But Yi Lin didn't notice that when he was thinking about the disobedience of the "mirror", a black spot appeared out of thin air in the center of the mirror.
A black spot that is pure to the extreme, like a black hole in a mirror, absorbs all the red and interesting lights in the secret room.
The black spot gradually expanded from a single point to a lump... a piece... a small piece.
When Yi Lin came back to her senses, she found that the "self" in the mirror seemed to be stained by a large piece of thick ink, and the image in the mirror, from the neck down to the navel, was completely covered by the black ink , can not see the original appearance.
This weird scene seemed to indicate...something was coming.
The strange change came suddenly and caught people off guard. At this juncture, Yi Lin could only take out the knife again and moisten his throat. No matter what monster was about to run out of the mirror, he would be prepared to use [Calamity Haunted], and he would slap it in the face before talking.
Yi Lin didn't know, just when the mirror changed strangely.
In this world, the sky is filled with dust, pale as snow, fine as sand, quietly covering the entire academy, leaving no corners.
What Yi Lin didn't even know was that at the moment when the sky was filled with ashes, all the creatures in the academy, except the apostles, all looked at the sky at the same time, knelt down on the ground, trembling.
Yi Lin didn't know anything about what happened outside.
But even if he knew, he didn't have time to take care of it at the moment.
Because of the mirror in front of him, the darkness spread completely, and the mirror surface was completely submerged, completely dyed a strange black.
All light, all reality, cannot leave images and traces on the black mirror.
Yi Lin suddenly felt that the dark color looked familiar.
Some are like the dark curtain shrouded in Styx Junior High School at night.
But it's a little different.
Yi Lin's whole body was tense, she clenched the knife tightly, staring at the abyss in the mirror, not daring to breathe.
It seemed that as long as he exhaled forcefully, some kind of terrifying existence would be disturbed.
Yi Lin knew in her heart that the situation in front of her was beyond his expectation, out of his control, beyond the ordinary, very bad.
He should run away.
Or stop it all.
No matter how bad you are, you can't stare at the abyss in the mirror.
Because...it's unlucky.
Like some kind of pre-death.
But for some reason, Yi Lin felt that in front of the darkness, Yi Lin felt that even breathing and thinking became extremely laborious, her mind went blank, leaving only dazed chaos.
etc?
Why is it blank?
Blankness and darkness are obviously hard to associate together.
The ordinary mirror in front of me seems to be an abyss, or a passage leading to the abyss. It seems that as long as you cross this mirror, you can reach another world.
Suddenly.
A hand emerged from the abyss.
It was a pale palm.
From the black mirror, a pale palm suddenly appeared.
Black and white, like a painting.
Yi Lin's thoughts, which seemed to be frozen by the darkness, revived at the moment the palm appeared.
Pale, haggard, desolate, dead, marginal, earth, sky, master...
When Yi Lin saw the palm slowly stretching towards "this side" from the other side of the mirror, words that couldn't be broken into sentences appeared in Yi Lin's mind involuntarily.
Those words didn't make any sense, and Yi Lin couldn't figure out why, but when she saw the palm, one meaningless word after another flashed in her mind.
When Yi Lin wanted to ponder carefully, she quickly forgot what the last word that flashed by was, leaving only a blank thought.
That palm is unthinkable, unrecallable, unsearchable, unnameable, unspecifiable.
That pitch-black mirror seemed to connect two worlds.
The world where Yi Lin lives.
And the world where that palm is.
The palm is getting bigger and bigger.
getting bigger.
Suddenly, Yi Lin's expression changed drastically.
A finger, soundless, penetrated the barrier of time and space, penetrated the mirror, and penetrated from the "other side".
That finger... was huge.
On the pale fingers, the slightly sharp black nails looked like they had been carefully trimmed, and they were actually a bit bigger than Yi Lin's face.
That is not a human hand!
Oh, of course it can't be human... To be precise, that's not a hand that should exist on a normal human body!
At the moment when the huge fingers slightly squeezed out of the mirror.
On the dark mirror surface, with the finger as the center, ripples rippled in circles.
The ripples swayed to the edge of the mirror, and turned into shocking distortions. The wall behind the mirror suddenly twisted into various strange shapes, like a vortex in the deep sea.
Accompanied by the terrifying distortion and vibration, the entire mirror made a crackling sound, as if it was overwhelmed, as if it would be crushed by that terrible finger at any time.
No!
Yi Lin suddenly woke up.
Never let that finger stick out all the way!
It is absolutely impossible for this mirror to hold that palm completely protruding from the weird world behind the mirror, but just the first exposure of a pitch-black fingernail already makes Yi Lin feel the oppression of death. If it happens... the consequences will be unimaginable!
When Yi Lin came back to her senses, her back was chilled, and drops of sweat dripped down her hair. Without hesitation, Yi Lin frantically mobilized Blood Jasmine. With the blessing of Nie Hongxiu's "morphological change", with Yi Lin at the center, countless hairs were like strands of hair. Bloodshot like blood surged and strangled towards the "mirror".
He did this not to repel that finger, nor to manicure that finger, nor would he naively think that he could cut off half of that finger with this meager strength.
Yi Lin's purpose...is very simple!
clatter——
Countless bloodshots shrouded it away, and in the blink of an eye, the ordinary and ordinary mirror was wrapped in the bloodshots of Blood Jasmine, like a blood cocoon.
Regardless of consumption, Yi Lin stimulated countless blood threads, strangled, strangled, and strangled again in the blood cocoon.
finally.
The blood streaks receded like a tide, and turned into the shape of a short knife again in Yi Lin's hands.
After the bloodshot strangulation, only a large piece of thin glass slag was left on the ground, and there was no more weird black shadow on it.
That finger... retreated!
Taking advantage of no one, Yi Lin sat down on the ground, panting heavily, with a solemn expression, speechless for a long time.
