Infinity Throne

Styx Junior High School.

After midnight.

The night sky was as dark as ink.

There are no stars or moon in the sky, just like a huge cover covering the sky of this school.

At the gate.

The old dog was still lying lazily by the door, its nostrils twitching slightly, blowing out a bubble that grew and fell with the rhythm of its breathing, looking cute and cute.

Oda Mai came here silently.

After nightfall, she took another multiple-choice question.

[A. It’s getting dark. If you don’t sleep well, you’ll be punished horribly. It’s better to go to bed. 】

[B. I heard that there are strange noises in the office building at night. Maybe you can go and see what's going on? 】

[C. As a qualified junior high school student, I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, so I went to the main entrance of the school for a walk to get some fresh air. This should be very reasonable, right? 】

In Mai Oda's view, there is almost no difference between the three options.

So she chose [C] without hesitation or hesitation.

If you are in doubt, choose C.

So Oda Mai came here at this moment, under this beautiful scenery.

There was no wind at night.

Oda Mai has long, silky black hair, casually scattered on the back of her head, exuding a cool and flawless temperament.

I saw her walking towards the door step by step, with a long black sheath knife hanging on her waist.

Just when Oda Mai approached within twenty meters of the gate.

The old dog, who was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, twitched its ears slightly and raised its head suddenly.

The moment the old dog opened his eyes, it was clear that there was no moon in the sky and the surroundings were dark. However, the old dog's eyes reflected two faint green lights from nowhere, which looked very strange at night.

Oda Mai's tense expression did not change at all. She was very experienced. In the trial, there was no monster that could not be killed, even a dog.

then.

Oda Mai's right hand slowly rested on the knife at her waist.

Eaaaaaaaaaah.

The old, rusty iron door of the security room made a tooth-grinding sound.

"Geez, this broken door should have been greased."

The bald doorman walked out from behind the door with a cigarette in his mouth. His shiny forehead was like a smooth mirror in the dark night, with a faint glimmer of light shining through, which was very conspicuous.

Oda Mai's eyelids were slightly raised, her dark eyes were as calm as water, without any waves, she stared at the bare forehead for a moment, and then locked the target.

This forehead, which stands out like a firefly in the dark night, is perfect as a target for swinging a sword...

Oda Mai nodded secretly.

"Um?"

The bald doorman seemed to have noticed Oda Mai not far away. He frowned and said in confusion: "Little girl, didn't your teacher tell you that you can't leave the dormitory at night without permission? Damn it, those lazy guys wouldn't Are you lazy again and not on duty in front of the dormitory?"

Oda Mai took two more steps forward.

The bald doorman touched his smooth head, squinted his eyes at the figure walking out of the darkness at night, and chuckled: "Are you also from Class 2, Grade 3? New here? Don't understand the rules? If you want to walk out of the door, You must have an 'entry and exit permit'. Without a permit, no one can go out."

In an instant.

The narration and options once again appeared in front of Mai Oda.

[Maybe it’s because of loneliness, maybe because of boredom, or maybe because of the desire deep in your heart that you came here. 】

[This seems to be the only exit to the outside of the school. 】

【Do you want to go out? 】

[But you are in a bit of a dilemma. You don’t know what an ‘entry and exit permit’ is. 】

【If you violate school rules, you will suffer terrible punishment. 】

【You are very anxious. 】

[But you are very determined. 】

[After you think carefully, you plan to——]

【please choose. 】

[A. Breaking the school rules seems scary. I decided to listen to the guard and go back to the dormitory. When I wake up, I will pretend that nothing happened tonight. 】

[B. Muster up the courage to ask the guard if there is any other way to leave Styx Junior High School. 】

[C. Bold and evil, I can tell at a glance that you are not human! Look at the knife! 】

Originally, Mai Oda was too lazy to look at the options.

There are options, how can it be better to just cut them off?

But she inadvertently saw the word "knife" and found it very pleasing to the eye.

Also C?

It seems that this is fate.

Oda Mai strongly agrees, perhaps this option is destined.

Then——

Oda Mai flicked her thumb.

There was a crisp sound, and a ray of snow-white light came out of the black-sheathed sword, as if it stung the night in an instant.

suddenly.

Just when Oda Mai was about to draw the sword.

A thin palm appeared silently behind Oda Mai without any warning, and forcefully covered Oda Mai's mouth.

"!"

Half an hour ago.

Early morning.

On the hour.

Dang Dang Dang Dang——

Somewhere on campus, a bell rang.

The bell ringers at Styx Junior High School are very dedicated. When the critical moment comes, the bell will always ring and they will never be late, no exception.

Yi Lin was lying on the new and clean sheets in the dormitory, tossing and turning, unable to sleep alone... No, it should be said that she had so many thoughts that she couldn't fall asleep.

The cute Bai Xiaoyi has been put away by Yi Lin.

Although before Bai Xiaoyi disappeared, his little eyes looked strange, as if he didn't know whether to say something or not.

"If you don't think it's appropriate to talk about it, don't talk about it. Don't think that I can let you complain if you put on that expression."

After Yi Lin finished using Bai Xiaoyi, she ruthlessly stuffed Bai Xiaoyi back into the blood jasmine and put it away safely.

After using [Enchantment Card·Red and White] to upgrade the ordinary blood jasmine into an enchantment weapon, Yilin always used the blood jasmine as her main weapon and never slacked off.

Not long ago, Yi Lin also discovered that Blood Jasmine's upgrade progress bar had finally been upgraded from [E] to [D], and her attributes had increased significantly, which was gratifying.

That ability... can definitely play an unexpected role at critical moments.

After discovering the thing behind her, a terrifying speculation appeared in Yi Lin's mind.

"Could the truth of this trial be..."

in the dark.

Everything was silent.

Yilin's eyes were bright and full of energy.

Suddenly.

Knock knock knock.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

in the room.

Yi Lin suddenly sat up from the bed.

midnight?

After midnight?

A knock on the door in the middle of the night?

Ah this?

Yi Lin happened to be stroking the knife, so she didn't need to take out the knife. She slowly got out of bed, moving gently without making any noise, and at the same time, she turned on Shadow Follower.

The moment the skill was turned on, the thing called "presence" in Yilin disappeared like a tide.

Yi Lin was like a shadow, lurking in the darkness, suppressing her breathing to the extreme.

Follow like a shadow is Yilin's first skill added to the module, and it is also the only skill that can be upgraded to the MAX level with chaos value. It depends on it to make a fortune. Naturally, it can be controlled at will, like an arm.

Knock knock.

Knock knock knock.

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.

Seeing that there was no movement from Yi Lin inside the door, the strange knocking on the door in the middle of the night actually sounded a rhythm, like a professional drummer using the wooden door as a drum and his fingers as sticks, so excited that he flew up.

"..."

When Yi Lin thought about it like this, the scary and weird atmosphere that she had just had time to create immediately dissipated without a trace.

It was a thrilling experience, but it was interrupted by this rhythm, and Yi Lin almost laughed out loud.

finally.

Multiple choice question, long overdue.

[In this dark night as silent as a cemetery, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and you can't sleep. 】

[Just after midnight, there was a strange knock on your door. 】

[You know very well that you don’t have many acquaintances in this school. Logically speaking, no one should visit you in this way at this time. 】

[But if you think about it carefully, it seems possible. 】

[For example, the girl who is also a transfer student, or the cute school girl I just met not long ago, or even the hot Queen Yanluo. 】

Yi Lin: "?"

The narrator seemed to be getting weird.

[After careful consideration, you feel that this possibility still exists. 】

[Maybe there will be some stories. 】

[Of course, you are not such a person. 】

[You are just trying to find out the truth. 】

[This is just a campus anyway, nothing too weird will happen, absolutely not. 】

[You made a quick choice. 】

【please choose. 】

[A. I thought it was very likely that he was a transfer student at the same time. He was visiting late at night and there must be something urgent, so I opened the door. 】

[B. I thought it was probably Saya. After all, Saya had been in love with me for a long time, so I opened the door. 】

[C. I thought it was probably Queen Yanluo. After all, she was deeply impressed by me, so I opened the door. 】

Yi Lin read the options word for word, dumbfounded in the dark.

etc.

Is there a difference between these three options?

Doesn’t the result always open the door?

Is this such an obvious trap testing the apostle's IQ, or is it flogging the apostle's IQ?

There shouldn't be anyone so stupid that they can't even see such an obvious text trap, right?

The last part of the option is not "I intend to open the door" but "I opened the door".

If Yi Lin's guess is not wrong, the moment he makes a choice, no matter which item in ABC, this closed door will open instantly, and then trigger a cruel death event.

Yi Lin thought of Hanhan's death.

The triggering of this death event is likely to be mandatory, and death may not be avoided even with the apostle's ability.

"Oh? In other words, if I don't open the door, what will you do to me? That's easy."

Yi Lin continued to drive like a shadow and lay back on the bed.

One minute later.

The knocking on the door was still going on in a certain rhythm.

【please choose. 】

【Please make your choice as soon as possible. 】

[Perhaps, this is an unforgettable night. Don’t you want to open the door? please choose. 】

The narrator urged frantically.

And the knocking on the door became more and more frequent, the rhythm became faster and faster, and became more and more intense——

suddenly.

Just when the rhythm of knocking on the door was about to reach its climax, it suddenly stopped strangely.

The knock on the door in the middle of the night was instantly replaced by a harsh noise like sharp nails scraping hard against the door panel.

The harsh sound was so hard to hear that Yi Lin felt that her eardrums were numb, and the numbness extended to her scalp.

Yi Lin: "..."

【she left. 】

Yi Lin: "..."

[She seems to be really gone. 】

Yi Lin turned over.

[Well, she really left this time. 】

Yi Lin noticed that the narration seemed to be getting more and more ridiculous.

Under the covers, Yi Lin silently released his telekinesis tentacles and quickly penetrated out the door.

"?"
