Infinity Throne

For Oda Mai.

All red names are strange.

In the trial, there is only a difference between being able to cut and being temporarily unable to cut.

You asked her to tell her thoughts about the trial, and she couldn't tell any other reason besides hesitating whether to draw the sword or not.

So Yilin finally recognized the reality and gave up her plan to discuss with Oda Mai.

"Well, you...just feel free to do whatever you want."

After dealing with Marisa, Yi Lin said these words.

Oda Mai nodded, put away the knife, and didn't ask any more questions.

The ideas gradually became clearer.

This escape trial doesn't seem that simple.

Hidden under the main mission of escape, there is a complex and huge plot.

If we dig deeper, we can probably uncover many hidden branches.

But...is this really good?

Yi Lin had a headache.

If we dig deeper, we will undoubtedly be able to learn more about the truth about Styx Junior High School, but once something is triggered that shouldn't be touched, a lot of changes will happen out of thin air.

"It's better to do the main mission first."

After thinking about it, Yi Lin made a decision.

He didn't hesitate for long.

After all, no matter how high the customs clearance evaluation is, it is also based on the premise of "clearing the customs clearance".

Now that the time has passed, if there is no way to successfully escape, no matter how deep the plot is, it will be of no use.

Yi Lin hid in a deserted corner and held the compass tightly.

"The deepest desire in my heart..."

Yi Lin tried to activate [Congxin's Compass].

Although [Congxin's Compass] is powerful, in this trial, he only had two chances to locate the "target". Yi Lin did not dare to be careless or waste it.

Desire for what?

The taste of freedom?

The color of the sky?

exit?

Desire for survival?

Yi Rin concentrated.

Thoughts passed through my heart.

The compass was in Yi Lin's hand. Sensing the desire in Yi Lin's heart, the pointer spun wildly, three times to the left and three times to the right, unable to stop at all.

ten minutes later.

Yi Lin opened her eyes.

He stared at the compass in his hand speechlessly, only to see that the pointer on the compass was still turning, as if it would never stop.

"Sure enough, when you actually use it, it's not that simple?"

Yi Lin rubbed his eyebrows and smiled.

Although the compass from the heart can read the deepest desires of the holder and point out the right direction.

But the current situation is that even Yi Lin himself has no idea what exactly he is looking for.

If you just long for "exit" deep down in your heart, the answer is too uncertain for the compass to indicate the correct direction, so it will keep turning around. This is a sign of failure in using the compass.

for example.

It's like a person having a stomachache.

If his inner desire at this moment is to "solve this matter", Luo Pan cannot give an answer at all.

Because there are so many ways to “solve stomach upset”.

1. Pull it in your pants.

2. Hold it back.

3. Find a toilet.

4. Solve it anywhere.

5. Let’s talk about it next time.

Such a "desire" that is too vague and broad cannot be located by a compass.

Unless there is a clear desire for a specific goal, such as "I desire the nearest public toilet," then the compass can play a powerful role.

At present, Yilin doesn't even know what form "the way out of the trial" exists. How can the "desire" that he himself doesn't know clearly be read by the compass?

Yilin silently put away [Congxin's Compass].

"It seems that we still need to collect information as soon as possible."

"First of all, we must find a way to survive."

"Based on the clues we have so far, the most obvious one, but very likely to be a trap, is the 'gate'."

“To pass through the ‘gate’, you must have an ‘access permit’.”

"Does that mean we need to find the vice principal?"

"As for the vice-principal, it should be in the vice-principal's office. This shouldn't be a big problem."

"Those two 'teammates', if there were no accidents, should have thought of this a long time ago."

"If I go now, will it be too late? But if I don't go, I'm very likely to miss some clues."

Just when Yi Lin was hiding and thinking, the class bell rang on time.

Dang Dang Dang Dang——

Yi Lin remained rooted to the spot.

And just when Yi Lin had no intention of going to class, the narration appeared again.

[The lunch break has passed, and the school bell rang again. 】

[You know, the next class is the ‘Advanced Theory Class’ taught by Queen Yanluo herself. 】

[You are very worried. If you don't go to class, what terrible punishment you will face if Queen Yanluo finds out. 】

[But at the same time, you can’t help but have some small expectations deep down in your heart. 】

[What if this kind of ‘punishment’ suits your taste perfectly? 】

[Next, you decide——]

【please choose. 】

[A. Youth that has not experienced skipping classes is not complete youth. As an excellent transfer student, I accidentally skipped a class and then passed by the vice principal's office. Isn't it normal? 】

[B. I feel a little uncomfortable. I heard that the health teacher in the infirmary has a gentle personality, charming appearance, long legs and white skin. The world is so big. You want to see it. 】

[C. Queen Yanluo’s punishment is very terrible. I decided to go to class obediently. To hell with my complete youth. 】

"Yo?"

This time.

Yi Lin did not hesitate for too long, nor did she do any weird tricks, she directly chose [A].

After selection.

Pathfinding mode is activated.

Yi Lin began to walk involuntarily towards the vice principal's office mentioned in [Option A].

After the class bell rang on time.

Class two of three years.

Queen Yanluo is still wearing the tight black leather jacket, with one snow-white thigh blowing in the cold wind, and a bulging leather whip around her waist, patrolling back and forth in the classroom.

In class two of the third year, there were a lot of empty seats, and Queen Yanluo didn’t know if she really didn’t notice that there was one person missing, or if she didn’t care at all.

"Where's that guy? He slipped away?"

Cao Tiantian looked at the empty seats next to her with a strange expression.

"Has that guy started moving yet?"

Cao Tiantian silently opened the apostle panel and took a look at the remaining time of the BUFF.

It was already their second day at Styx Junior High School.

On the first day, Hanhan died tragically.

Today, there are four apostles surviving in the trial.

Although Cao Tiantian is a little reluctant to give up the hidden branch line of Queen Yanluo, if the main line cannot be completed and she cannot leave this weird school, no matter how many branch lines are done, it will be of no use.

Think of this.

Cao Tiantian quickly communicated secretly with Liu Ruyan and sent out messages one after another.

In the corner of the classroom.

A faint green light flashed in Liu Ruyan's peaceful eyes.

at the same time.

Yi Lin, who skipped class, came to the office building under the guidance of the pathfinding mode.

The office building is quite far away from the teaching building.

Apart from the head teacher and Queen Yanluo, Yi Lin has never met any other teachers.

There were few people in the office building, which made Yi Lin wonder whether this was a gathering place for teachers.

Before walking up to the office building, Yi Lin carefully moved forward while using telekinesis to perceive.

If every teacher had as terrifying strength as "Queen Yanluo", then this office building would be no different from a dragon's den or a tiger's den.

But luckily, there was no one else.

This is what Yi Lin finds strange.

But at this time, being so weird made it easier for Yi Lin to do things.

In the stairwell, as if for fear that intruders would not be able to find their location, a floor plan of the office building was thoughtfully posted.

Yi Lin quickly scanned the structural diagram.

The style of the office building of Styx Junior High School is similar to that of the teaching building. It is integrated and has an old architectural style, with only doors and no windows.

Following the structural diagram, Yi Lin came to the top floor.

Judging from the structural diagram, there are only two rooms on the huge top floor, which seem to be reserved exclusively for the vice-principal. Next door is the secretary's office.

Yi Lin didn't meet anyone else along the way.

When she arrived at the vice-principal's door, Yi Lin was slightly startled.

The door to the vice-principal's office was closed, with a note taped to it.

[The vice-principal is out for business. If you have any emergency, please walk ten steps forward to find secretary ‘Rita’. 】

Ah this?

If something goes wrong and the vice-principal is not found, do you still have to go find the secretary?

Yi Lin's eyes narrowed.

He quickly noticed that the note taped to the door did not appear to have been posted recently.

The note was covered with a fine layer of dust.

If you don't look carefully, you might miss it at a glance.

The note was stuck to the door haphazardly and could easily be torn off.

Yi Lin... also tore it up.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

After tearing off the note, the shape of the note left a dust-free stain on the door. One can imagine how long this note had been on the door.

The note was held in his hand, without any "attributes" emerging.

In other words, this is really just an ordinary sticky note.

"It seems that even a route that looks like a trap is not so easy to complete?"

Yi Lin casually balled up the note and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. Then he followed the note and walked a few steps forward to see what he could gain in the secretary's office.

Yi Lin originally wanted to use telekinesis to explore through the door panel.

But just after releasing telekinesis, Yi Lin's expression changed slightly, but a few seconds later, Yi Lin smiled.

"bingo."

I don’t know if the walls and door panels of the vice-principal’s office are made of special materials, or if there are other reasons.

Yilin's telekinesis perception, which had been tried for a long time, was unable to penetrate and detect any information.

The perception that Yi Lin exuded was like a mud cow entering the sea, without making any waves.

"A location that can isolate mental detection? So there must be something special inside."

"Or is it some kind of special scene?"

"What does it mean if there are no multiple-choice questions?"

"From the 'choice question' point of view, I will definitely find a way to get in without hesitation?"

"Aren't you a little bit funny?"

Yi Lin thought as he took ten steps, and as expected, as depicted in the structural diagram, a secretary's office with the door ajar appeared next to Yi Lin.

Just as Yi Lin was about to approach the door.

A lazy and charming voice came from behind the door, laughing happily and roaring.

"Who is it? Is it you? Giggle--"

"..."

【……】

This sound.

Sounds a little unusual.

But in this school, Yi Lin felt no sense of disobedience.

Yi Lin didn't open the door, just pushed open the ajar door and walked in.

The furnishings inside are very simple.

A desk.

A wardrobe that reaches the ceiling.

An old couch.

The dark red floor was made of an unknown material, like slate or other unknown materials. It matched with the yellowish color of the four walls, giving Yilin a feeling of decay and desolation.

Yi Lin had no time to complain about the strange overall architectural style of Styx Junior High School at this moment.

I saw a mature woman wearing a professional short skirt and mesh holes in her socks, reclining on the sofa to rest in a lazy and idle posture.

Yi Lin quickly noticed that there were no documents on the desk at all, which made people doubt the purpose of this secretary's existence.

When Yi Lin quickly checked whether the surrounding environment was safe.

Secretary Rita let out a sigh and suddenly sat up from the sofa. She arranged her clothes calmly and buttoned an extra button on her jacket.

Secretary Rita stared at Yi Lin coldly. In just a few seconds, Secretary Rita's expression changed drastically, from lazy and shy to confused, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Who are you?"

Yi Lin hasn't answered yet.

The narrator seems to be more anxious and emerges momentarily.

And the emergence speed is a bit faster than usual.

[Secretary Rita is the vice principal’s confidant. 】

[When the principal is away, the vice principal has the final say. 】

[If even the vice principal is not here, then Secretary Rita has the final say. 】

[She noticed you. After all, you didn't knock on the door. 】

[She also noticed the class number on your school uniform and remembered that there seemed to be 'five transfer students' placed in that class yesterday. 】

[You suddenly regret your reckless actions. 】

[Perhaps, this is not the right choice. 】

[After Secretary Rita asked the question, you said as quickly as possible——]

【please choose. 】

[A. Sorry! I'm in the wrong place! Sorry, sorry, I'll leave right away. 】

[B. Sorry, I thought this was a teaching building, but don't be angry, I'll leave right away. 】

[C. Bold and evil, I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being, but it doesn’t matter, I will leave right away. 】

when the option appears.

Yi Lin narrowed her eyes slightly.

Are there any differences between these three options?

Aren't they all trying to persuade him to leave quickly?

This kind of "explicit" option made Yi Lin feel a little bit of warmth coming from somewhere, warming her heart...

I'm so warm to you!

Is it still called a multiple-choice question if there is only one option?

These three options seem to be prompts at first glance.

It reminds Yi Lin that it will be very dangerous if she stays here any longer.

But if you think about it carefully, is it possible that even the narration is confusing?

Maybe this is the key?

As long as you persist, maybe you can discover some big secret?

Or even an escape hatch?

Or use reverse thinking.

What looks like an escape exit from a trap is actually a trap?

so.

There is no point in going around like this and playing psychological warfare with [Narrator] in a battle of wits and courage.

Everything is a choice.

instead of options.

Thinking of this, Yi Lin ignored the options.

He smiled at Secretary Rita and said, "I am a new transfer student in Class 2 of the third year."

Rita frowned and stood up from the sofa: "Let me ask again, who are you?"

In an instant.

Yi Lin fell silent.

He didn't know how to proceed.

Ask again?

What's the meaning?

Yi Lin suddenly realized that, as the narration said, coming to the vice principal's office this time was like accidentally touching a red button.

The kind that will explode on the spot once pressed.

The narrator began to urge frantically.

[You sense something is wrong in the atmosphere. 】

[Danger is approaching. 】

[Believe me, it’s not safe here. 】

[You can’t have any trouble now. 】

【You will--】

【Choose quickly. 】

[A. Leave immediately. 】

[B. Leave immediately. 】

[C. Leave! 】

"So...that's it?"

Yi Lin thought of the sarcoma on her back and suddenly realized something.

Most of the clues are connected.

It turned out that not only him, but also the dead Hanhan, all the apostles in this trial had misunderstood one thing.

A matter of life and death!

Yi Lin instantly took off the immature disguise of a "student", her expression was calm, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she deliberately showed an unpredictable smile: "What do you think?"

Secretary Rita looked surprised.

Something seemed to have occurred to him deep in his heart.

Yi Lin wanted to tell her.

Say it.

Just say whatever comes to your mind.

Isn’t it uncomfortable to hold it in your heart?

About ten seconds later.

Secretary Rita looked Yi Lin up and down, and suddenly said in a tone of sudden understanding: "As expected, 'Prison Gate Junior High School' sent you some of the 'latest experimental products' here. As expected, it's true that they didn't have any good intentions. It is indeed a trick and a lie...XXXX..."

Yi Lin's expression condensed.

Do not know why.

The second half of Secretary Rita's words sounded like strange syllables without any meaning to Yi Lin's ears.

But the moment those strange syllables with unknown meanings came out of Secretary Rita's mouth, they put great pressure on Yi Lin, as if if he could understand those syllables, something terrible would happen.

What exactly does that mean?

Don't wait for Yi Lin to think about it.

After Secretary Rita finished speaking, her eyes suddenly glowed with a green light that made Yi Lin feel familiar. They were full of green.

"Hmph, tell us your purpose, otherwise..."

In the blink of an eye, Secretary Rita’s pretty and mature face turned from fair to rosy, from rosy to livid, from livid to waxy purple, changing again and again, very strangely, with two pointed fangs. Slowly stretched out from Secretary Rita's mouth.

Yi Lin chuckled.

His eyes fell on Secretary Rita.

"Let the world feel pain from now on!"

"!"

Three minutes later.

Red and white lights dissipated from Yi Lin's body.

Because there was no one else around at the moment, Yi Lin used this move.

After all, although this move is powerful and integrates offense and defense, if it is seen by an acquaintance, even jumping into sulfuric acid will not be able to clean it up... It is a big misunderstanding.

The laughter of Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu still seemed to be echoing in the air.

Ahem...

on the ground.

There was one more corpse chopped into one, two, three...seventeen pieces.

Not long ago, she claimed to be the vice-chancellor's secretary.

He even planned to force Yi Rin to do something he didn't like.

So Yi Lin could only refuse righteously and try new skills by the way.

Yi Lin looked at the secretary's body expressionlessly and shook his head: "This vice principal has a bit of a strong taste."

Finished.

Yi Lin began to search the empty secretary's office.

[Get chaos value +369! 】

Secretary Rita alone brought more than 300 chaos points to Yi Lin.

If the chaos value of ordinary human beings is about 40-50, then Secretary Rita in front of her is roughly equivalent to the weight of 7 ordinary people.

Although Yi Lin has not yet clearly learned about the "Tower"'s detailed definition of chaos value.

But generally speaking, the higher the attributes, the higher the value of the chaos value. This general trend will not be much different.

When killing Rita's secretary, Yi Lin absorbed a layer of "bloody spirit".

[The fifth level of blood] (+3.2)

In terms of attributes, the "people" in this trial were far higher than the soldiers in the Caribbean.

Secretary Rita was not too tricky to chop, but the blood intent condensed into her life was actually as high as 3.2.

In other words, the sum of her three attributes of strength, agility, and spirit during her lifetime was as high as 15 or more.

This is just an ordinary secretary.

Perhaps being able to sit in this position was not based on strength, but rather on the taste of the vice-principal whom he had never met.

"If a little secretary has a measurement attribute of over 15, then the entire school..."

"Let's not talk about the number of students. The canteen aunt who is as strong as Brother Su, the campus guard, Queen Yanluo... How high will the attributes of these elite monsters be?"

"Maybe there are all kinds of weird abilities..."

"So this is an escape trial?"

"Just trying to find a way to escape from this school is difficult enough to put people on the edge of death."

Yi Lin's scalp felt slightly numb just by imagining this.

to date.

Regarding the dangers in Styx Junior High School, Yi Lin may have seen only the tip of the iceberg.

If someone accidentally triggers a certain condition and all students are instantly demonized... the consequences will be disastrous.

"It looks like we have to find a way to escape from here quickly. If we delay any longer, it might become more and more difficult."

"Currently, it seems that the BUFF lasts only three days."

"But actually the mission time limit is very clear...until death."

"It is very possible that the real meaning of this time limit is not that we have at least three days, but that as time goes by, the difficulty may become higher and higher."

Deep in Yilin's heart, various thoughts went through her mind.

Prison Gate Junior High School?

Although before Yi Lin took action just now, Secretary Rita didn't tell much information.

Even the last half of the sentence was inexplicably blocked.

But the words "Prison Gate Junior High School" gave Yilin a vague understanding of the general structure of this trial world.

There is more than one school like Styx Junior High School.

The legendary campus battle for hegemony?

now.

The house was in a mess.

The sofa, desk, and wardrobe were all covered with sharp knife marks. At first glance, they looked like the traces left after being ravaged by a hail of swords.

Yi Lin is very satisfied with the new ability.

In the vice-principal's office and secretary's office, the wall materials seem to be specially made.

Yi Lin's telekinesis was unable to penetrate through.

After receiving the chaos value prompt, Yi Lin was sure that Secretary Rita was already dead, and there was no possibility of jumping up and down again.

So Yi Lin also took the time to search the secretary's office An Xin.

A few minutes later.

Yi Rin found nothing.

Originally, the furnishings in this office were very simple. Apart from some weird sex props that Yi Lin found in Rita's secretary's drawer, there were no other special discoveries.

"Huh? Wait."

Yi Lin was a little reluctant.

And right now.

He constructed the room and compared it with the floor plan of the stairwell. He found that the actual size of the room was much smaller than the structural plan.

"Huh? Another secret room? So uncreative?"

Yi Lin quickly figured out the reason and couldn't help but complain.
