Chapter 254: The Road to Survival

"It's almost... cold."

After an unknown amount of time, Yi Lin regained her composure.

Recalling the scene just now, Yi Lin still couldn't help feeling a little scared.

The pressure that that pale palm brought to Yi Lin was too terrifying. In her memory, Yi Lin had never encountered such a terrifying existence.

Even if it was just a hasty glance, that palm seemed to leave a pale shadow in Yi Lin's mind, lingering like a nightmare.

"Although it cannot be compared, the pressure that that palm brought to me is even more terrifying than that of the 'Apocalypse Knight' back then."

If I didn't guess wrong.

That mirror is equivalent to the "group annihilation engine" of this trial.

Only half of the fingernail on that palm passed through the mirror and came across the border, which made Yi Lin feel a kind of near-death terror. If the whole finger was really stretched out, what would happen... It's hard to imagine. But the consequences needless to say, is nothing more than the end of the destruction of the group.

However, the attribute description of the tower left a glimmer of life after the mobilization of the group annihilation opportunity.

That's...the "effect".

At first, Yi Lin wondered why the [Effect] column of an ordinary mirror turned out to be "extremely fragile".

In other words, the real function of this mirror... is to smash it into pieces.

Only after it is smashed can the only passage through which the pale palm came to this world be completely destroyed, and the group annihilation can be completely avoided.

This is also...the reason why there is no mirror in Styx Junior High School.

"fortunately."

This is the first time since Yi Lin's rebirth, he feels that he is so close to death, as if a foot has already stepped into the other side. If he moves a little slower, maybe he has completely fallen into the Styx junior high school at this moment, becoming a 抔Fertilizer for Styx Junior High School.

Why did such a terrifying existence appear in this level of trial?

Yi Lin was puzzled.

[Do you believe in God? 】

Killing Henry Zhang,

When taking away Henry Zhang's qualification to become an apostle, that line that only appeared in front of him once in his life inadvertently surfaced in Yi Lin's mind.

Like a brand, the words are clear, engraved, and unforgettable.

That pale palm is really a "God"?

"How can you not believe it?"

After calming down, Yi Lin used her feet to smooth out the shattered glass slag on the ground into a pile and put it in a corner.

After repeatedly confirming that the lump of glass slag would not produce any more moths, Yi Lin was finally relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a pity that the shape of 'I' in the mirror is still very 'chic', and it's a bit cool. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to take a second look."

After the crisis, Yi Lin regained her mental vigor.

He is still in the trial, he has not left this world, and it is not time to conclude.

I have doubts in my heart, so I will not mention it for the time being.

Apart from the weirdness of the mirror, there seems to be nothing special about the three rooms in the shape of "pin".

"It's strange, the function of this secret room is really to hide this 'group destroying engine'?"

"It's too much to make a big deal out of a molehill."

"In addition, according to this design idea, it seems reasonable to set up an emergency escape route. After all, it is used by the vice principal to hide demons in the golden house..."

etc.

escape route?

Thinking up to this point, Yi Lin was taken aback for a moment, and her expression gradually became serious.

That's right.

No wonder he always felt that something was wrong.

"Escape channel! This is an escape trial!"

No wonder Yi Lin felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing. This kind of creative, even in the real world, a "secret room" structure that is rare, should set up an emergency escape channel leading directly to the outside world.

In this way, no matter what happens outside, there is any movement, or who breaks in, the vice principal and secretary hiding in the secret room can tidy up and leave the big round bed at the first time.

I see!

Yi Lin was stunned.

But here comes the problem.

Where is the emergency escape route?

"Could it be another old secret room?"

Yi Lin almost vomited blood from depression.

Obviously the answer is right in front of you.

"Vice-principal, you are really good at it. You are so strictly guarded."

Yi Lin couldn't use telekinetic power to penetrate the wall, so he could only use the most stupid method, taking out the Xiao Shisan brand ancient knife specially used for prying windows, digging soil and digging pits, and beating on the wall inch by inch to see if there is any hidden treasure hidden behind the wall. hollow.

ten minutes later.

Erin found nothing.

He was sure that the tactile feedback from the wall did not exist in any space behind the wall.

Or, the so-called "escape route" cannot be tested in this scientific way.

"Could it be... magic? Or maybe it's magic?"

This trial, they are not in an ordinary world, this world has extraordinary and strange abilities, the unknown language in the textbook, plus the "glory" in the mirror, Yi Lin has 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 to escape from this office building."

"How can an ordinary 'escape channel' allow people to escape from this world?"

"In other words, this 'escape exit' must be unusual, even very likely, not...'door'."

Yi Lin talked to herself, smiled, and slowly looked at her feet.

Although it is very reasonable to lay a high-grade carpet in an interesting secret room, it is also suitable for rolling around, and it is not against harmony.

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 the all-purpose military... uh no, Xiao Shisan brand ancient knife, and carefully cut open the carpet under her feet.

Sharp and easy to use.

After cutting the carpet, the truth hidden by the vice-principal finally fully revealed in front of Yi Lin.

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.

Boring.

No wonder to chop.

However, Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan followed the prompts of the "narration" and headed in different directions.

When the legs started to start in the automatic pathfinding mode, Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan looked at each other's backs, their expressions changed slightly.

The two women randomly flirted in the communication function.

Cao Tiantian: Sister Liu, you are not kind, are you?

Ruyan Liu: What do you say? (Smile)

Cao Tiantian: What about the promised allies? This time the main task is to escape, we don't need to hide it.

Liu Ruyan: Haha, that's right, I didn't intend to hide it either. I got a tip that something had happened in the building and that there might be an exit tip there.

Cao Tiantian: What? how come? (Shock)

Ruyan Liu: What about you?

Cao Tiantian: The narration reminds that there may be meat and bones left over from the soup in the cafeteria.

Ruyan Liu:?

Cao Tiantian: Hehe, guess what? In this school, who likes to gnaw meaty bones the most?

Liu Ruyan: ..., I guess, everyone should like to eat it.

Cao Tiantian: ....

Ruyan Liu: Anyway, good luck.

Cao Tiantian: Good luck.

Ruyan Liu: It must be taken.

Cao Tiantian: I must win +1.

The two women ended the call.

Cao Tiantian sneered, 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 found out that there were meaty bones in the cafeteria?

Cao Tiantian laughed more and more, and when she closed the communication interface, Cao Tiantian had already walked in front of the big egg-like cafeteria. Looking up, after a strange burst of white ash fell from the sky, the top of the cafeteria was covered with a layer of snow-white ash, which really looked like a huge egg, which made Cao Tiantian's appetite well up. Rapid secretion of saliva in the mouth.

Gudong.

Cao Tiantian subconsciously swallowed and almost squeezed out her Adam's apple.

For some reason, since she accepted the "queen's training", her taste has become more and more strange. Even seeing this kind of dome can cause a conditioned reflex to salivate.

"Forget it, as long as you 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 then pale, shy and afraid.

"As long as I can get out of this damn place!"

Cao Tiantian silently made up her mind.

She stepped into the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, it was pitch black.

It was not meal time, and the huge cafeteria was empty.

I didn’t feel it when there were so many people, but when Cao Tiantian slipped into the cafeteria alone, those neatly arranged seats, the wet marks left on the table, the shadows in the corners, the smell of blood in the air, the randomly placed Dirty rags... Everything in front of me is eerie and weird that makes Cao Tiantian's hair stand on end.

"Psychological effect? ​​This is just a cafeteria."

After arriving at the cafeteria, Cao Tiantian's feet were free again, and now she can only comfort herself in this way.

Thinking about it this way, Cao Tiantian felt a lot more comfortable in her heart, the haze was dispelled, and there was no taboo.

"Yoxi, Tiantian, you can do it, come on! After all, you are a strange woman who survived the Queen's whip!"

Cao Tiantian subconsciously touched Yanluo's bald forehead, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, and she took out a frying pan from the storage space with her backhand.

This frying pan looks inconspicuous, but it is a treasure that integrates offense and defense, robs houses, murders and sets fire, and is very useful.

It is used to block knives, guns, and bullets, and it is omnipotent. In so many trials, she relied on this superb frying pan method to survive life and death again and again.

This pot is her treasure. Now that there is no one around, she no longer hides her clumsiness. She directly holds the hole card in her hand, and instantly becomes confident.

"According to the narration, it should be there..."

Cao Tiantian observed carefully, and saw that the cafeteria was really empty, so she decisively got into the back kitchen through the gap in cooking.

In the kitchen, there was a strong smell.

Cao Tiantian couldn't tell what it was like.

The taste is complex and makes me want to vomit, but it makes Cao Tiantian spit again strangely.

She knew that something was wrong with her now, so she could only grit her teeth and walked all the way to a conspicuous cauldron.

There are no windows in the cafeteria either.

It was not night yet.

But the cafeteria was pitch black and silent.

This kind of atmosphere, like in a horror story, made Cao Tiantian feel a little nervous.

But it's just a little bit, after all, he is also a senior apostle who has experienced several trials, and he will never be intimidated by this atmosphere.

Unless... I can't hold back.

Cao Tiantian held back the strong discomfort and suddenly lifted the lid of the pot.

In the pot, there is still a small pot of "soup". The soup had already cooled down, and there was a layer of white and solidified fat floating on the surface. Part of the smell in the air came from the pot of leftover soup in front of me.

Cao Tiantian's complexion changed slightly. Enduring the nausea, she directly reached into the greasy soup, stirred and searched quickly.

"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? There it is!"

Soon, with just one sentence, Cao Tiantian touched the long bone of the knuckles from the depths of the soup. On the long bone, there was even unrotten skin and flesh, and the bones of the fingers were connected by tendons. Hanging softly.

Click!

at this time.

In the dead silence, in the darkness where only Cao Tiantian was talking to herself, a strange sound suddenly came from behind Cao Tiantian.

At first glance, it sounded like something had accidentally dropped to the ground.

Listen carefully.

Seems a bit familiar.

It's like...

The sound of a butcher's knife chopping on a chopping board!

"This student, the school rules stipulate 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 in the communication panel.

Liu Ruyan followed the prompts and choices of the narration and was about to arrive at the office building.

"Huh? That's..."

suddenly.

Liu Ruyan's pupils shrank slightly, and a slight fluctuation appeared on her quiet and pretty face.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but she happened to see a familiar figure walking away from the office building, stepping on the ashes all over the floor.

Although the two were a little far away from each other, Liu Ruyan could still tell who the figure from behind was.

"It's him?"

"How did he come out of the office building?"

"Oops! Is it a step late?"

"No! If it was too late, how could he still stay here? He should have left this ghostly place long ago!"

Liu Ruyan came to a conclusion in an instant, she was quite sure in her heart, the 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 narration, Liu Ruyan would not naively think that this place would be as safe as a small hotel. So when she walked up the stairs, she took every step carefully, every inch was startled, and she didn't dare to be careless.

But in fact, this process was smoother than Liu Ruyan imagined.

Without any surprise or danger, 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 without any dust in it, as if a piece of paper was pasted on it not long ago, but it was Someone took it down.

"It really is him! He has already been here!"

This subtle discovery made Liu Ruyan's heart sink.

According to the nature of the apostles, if there were any escape clues in the vice-principal's office, Yi Lin would have already taken them away, and it was absolutely impossible to stay where they were and let others pick the fruits.

This is impossible.

Nor is it scientific.

It does not conform to the character and habits of the apostles.

Unless... I can't take it away.

Liu Ruyan walked into the vice principal's office with some trepidation.

The door didn't lock.

Liu Ruyan broke through easily.

Since he has already been here and just left, there must be no other danger here. Even if there is... danger, it is very likely that the insidious man has checked it out for a round.

Of course, Liu Ruyan can't completely deny the possibility that that person will leave some kind of trap, after all, he looks a bit evil from the outside, and he is not easy to get along with, it seems that he can also show this kind of moral depravity thing.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's heart that had just been let go slightly lifted again.

Liu Ruyan carefully searched the vice principal's office.

As she had initially speculated, there was nothing to be found here.

Everything was as clean as a clubhouse after a raid.

After thinking about it, Liu Ruyan hurried to the secretary's office next door.

The moment the door was pushed open, a strange smell of blood rushed over.

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 spliced ​​together at all.

That corpse...is not a human being!

But at this time, Liu Ruyan had already guessed that the "people" in the whole school were unusual, but this corpse made her affirm her inner thoughts, and there were not many surprises.

What surprised Liu Ruyan was the dismembered posture of the corpse and the sharp cut marks left around it.

Like knives... But the number is too terrifying, too dense. It's like being shaved through a meat grinder.

This scene made Liu Ruyan feel cold all over. Only the ghost knows what kind of inhuman treatment the corpse on the ground suffered before dying.

"poor thing."

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but mourn for two seconds for the corpse that had been cut into many sections on the ground.

After the silence.

She couldn't help feeling deeply that Yi Lin was terrible.

It can be roughly inferred from the scene that the scene at that time must have been very intense.

It is very possible that in a very short period of time, that person, through some kind of ability or skill, instantly killed this unidentified corpse on the spot.

"terrible."

After searching around, Liu Ruyan still didn't find anything except the corpse on the ground.

She is not reconciled.

The narration reminded that there should be clues here.

But why?

Was it really taken away by him?

Or is the clue actually the corpse on the ground...? An elite monster suspected of being a secretary? What exploded after being killed?

Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes were full of unwillingness.

After a while, Liu Ruyan could only helplessly accept this cruel fact.

But at the same time, Liu Ruyan's small thoughts couldn't help becoming active again.

have a bee in one's bonnet.

If that man really finds out...

Why not...?

Anyway, back to the real world, everything will be repaired... repaired as before, smooth as new...

How about...?

Maybe also...?

"Ah! It's okay, 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 is also a qualified apostle, and she didn't stay in the same place for too long, instead she quickly thought about the next step.

"As long as he hasn't left, I still have a chance."

Liu Ruyan still has this confidence.

Just as Liu Ruyan was about to leave.

She stopped suddenly.

wrong.

There seems to be something wrong with the layout of this room.

On the floor plan, the two rooms are almost square, with the same length, which is a well-designed apartment.

However, Liu Ruyan suddenly discovered that whether it was the vice principal's office or the secretary's office, the interior of the room was obviously a rectangular structure, and the length seemed to be a bit shorter compared to the floor plan.

Where did the short part go?

Two minutes later.

Liu Ruyan looked at the dark compartment behind the closet with a slightly startled expression.

It turns out that this is where the real "secret" lies.

Curious, Liu Ruyan entered the passage.

Obviously, this place has already 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 wouldn't hurt to take another look.

The worst outcome is nothing more than returning without success.

What if?

One must always have hope, otherwise what is the difference from salted fish?

With various thoughts in mind, Liu Ruyan arrived at the secret room that Yi Lin had just left not long ago.

This secret room... is full of emotion.

The moment she entered the secret room, the dark red lights, the four walls, and the big round bed in the center of the room... all reminded Liu Ruyan of some kind of exercise before going to bed, and her face turned red.

Of course, now is not the time to blush, Liu Ruyan quickly looked around at the surrounding environment.

There isn't much special on the walls, and there are some simple decorations that don't look special in the room...Huh? What's that shiny thing in the corner?

Women seem to have a natural liking for shiny things, Liu Ruyan walked towards the corner quickly without hesitation.

That shiny thing is very tiny, if it weren't for women's natural sensitivity to such things, they might be overlooked at a glance.

"Diamond?" Liu Ruyan stroked it for a while, then 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 turned out to be a mirror!"

"He broke the mirror and took all the pieces with him! But he accidentally left this shard of glass!"

Liu Ruyan suddenly realized it, no wonder she noticed the weirdness that there was no mirror in the bathroom when she was taking a shower.

After all, Liu Ruyan wanted to take a closer look at the "traces" left by Queen Yanluo when she was cleaning up for nothing.

And now a pile of glass shards that used to be mirrors appear here, in this secret room, what does it mean?

Liu Ruyan almost didn't need to think too much, she could be sure and convinced that that sinister, cunning and terrifying man must have discovered something in this room, this discovery...maybe it is the key to their escape from this world!

But what did he discover?

The more Liu Ruyan was curious, the more it seemed like a kitten was scratching, scratching, picking, and scratching in her heart, it was very itchy.

"It's a pity...but maybe, we can find a way to make him say it?"

Liu Ruyan began to think carefully again.

After all, it's a matter of life and death, it's impossible for Liu Ruyan not to take it seriously.

After a while.

Liu Ruyan looked at the room again.

In addition to the shards of glass in the corner, Liu Ruyan also noticed that there was a violation in the room.

The big round bed... is it placed in the center?

Can't it?

So have... ideas?

Liu Ruyan's heart moved.

"It stands to reason that the man was able to find this place, killed the secretary in seconds, and was even careful enough to take away the broken glass. Then he shouldn't have left a glass shard behind."

"Is it on purpose?"

"No, it doesn't make sense."

Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip lightly, constantly substituting 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 his forehead, and said in shock: "Unless there is something else in this secret room that attracted his attention and made him accidentally leave a glass shard!"

"Oh, that's how it is, the truth... there is only one!"

something else……

Liu Ruyan slowly looked at the big round bed.

Then...the big round bed was pushed away forcefully.

in an instant.

Liu Ruyan froze in place as if being shocked by an electric shock.

"!!!"

at the same time.

in the school.

Yi Lin walked on ashes.

He frowned, looking at the silver-clad, paved campus with a layer of snow, the earth-shaking changes in front of him made Yi Lin feel astonished.

"This is... ash?"

Why is the whole school suddenly covered in dust?

The sky turned gray?

So fantastic?

"No."

Suddenly, Yi Lin's pupils shrank slightly, and her back felt cold.

The handful of fine dust that he was holding in his hand couldn't help but slipped from his hand.

"It's it!"

It was the pale hand protruding from the world behind the mirror.

The gray and white campus and the barren scenery in front of her made Yi Lin involuntarily think of the strange color of that palm.

"pale……?"

The moment Yi Lin uttered this word, there was a sharp pain in the depths of her brain.

At that time in the secret room, when Yi Lin faced the palm that seemed to bring barrenness to the world, many inexplicable words flashed through her mind like lightning. But after the incident, Yi Lin couldn't remember anything, as if even those words, even the description of the pale palm, had become a taboo.

But now, Yi Lin vaguely caught a glimpse of the memory, and when it was connected with the memory of that pale palm, she suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if something was about to burst out of her brain. eccentric.

Yi Lin quickly let go of all the thoughts in her mind, and the pain dissipated a lot immediately.

At this moment, Yi Lin has no time to worry about it.

All he could think about was the discovery in the secret room.

There is no doubt that there is definitely the way out!

The real way out!

But... why the hell did you set the exit to this level of difficulty!

Are you sick?

Is this interesting?

Don't say it's close at hand... It's simply stepped on.

However, there is no way to start it.

Even the experienced Yi Lin couldn't help feeling a little depressed in the face of such a painful situation.

Teng Teng Teng Teng.

suddenly.

At the corner of the teaching building, there was a sound of orderly footsteps.

"who is it?"

When Yi Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, the foreshadowing was not buried for too long, Oda Mai rushed out from the corner in a blink of an eye.

Knife in hand.

The knife is out of its sheath.

The knife... was dripping with blood.

Yi Lin: "..."
