"Welcome, brothers. Congratulations on successfully entering this year's final initiation test."

In the evening, Wayne arrived at the "Pointed Hat Society" fraternity dormitory again, according to the time written on the small card that Luke Matthew had previously given him.

Walking through the front door of the fraternity dormitory, Wayne found that the windows inside had been drawn in advance, as if he had instantly stepped into the night.

At this time, in the common lounge on the first floor, the new recruits stood in a row, half-surrounded by the old members of the fraternity.

The old members were all draped in white robes that could hide their figures, and they also wore white pointed hoods that covered their necks, leaving only holes for their eyes.

The leading "Pointed Hat Man" stood in the center of the common lounge, spread his arms, and gave a welcoming speech to the new recruits who had come like Wayne.

Judging from the voice, he should be the president of this year's "Pointed Hat Society".

The other old members, also wearing white robes and white pointed hoods, each held large white candles, silently surrounding him and the new recruits,

creating a solemn and strangely mysterious atmosphere that seemed to return to the Middle Ages.

Some of the new recruits seemed determined to win, some seemed to find it interesting, some were expressionless and seemed unmoved,

and some seemed to already be getting scared.

Wayne quietly opened his Minimalist Lines vision and observed the environment.

Hmm… it's just creating an atmosphere, I don't see any influence of extraordinary power.

The president's voice passed through the fabric of the pointed hood, sounding slightly vague and altered:

"The final test is very simple. We will set up tests in the rooms. You will draw your own initial room, complete the test, obtain a token, and then proceed to the next designated room.

"Those who complete the test in two rooms can return here to wait for the final test, as well as the welcome and blessings of the fraternity brothers.

"Have I made myself clear enough? Then let's begin?"

Hey, you know what?

It sounds quite interesting.

At least in this era, this game design idea feels quite advanced.

Wayne chose to come this time mainly to take the opportunity to feel out Luke Matthew's background and check whether his "enthusiasm" was due to Priest Paisier's influence.

Several detectives from the detective agency were secretly guarding the periphery of the fraternity dormitory at this time, and Ineisa and Lina were also present.

Even Wayne himself brought a harmless exorcism pistol.

A white-robed old member walked out of the line holding a lottery box, and then signaled the new recruits to draw lots one after another.

Wayne deliberately waited until the end, and saw that the others had drawn candles engraved with room numbers, so he also drew one, and then showed it like the others.

Some of the old members quietly left the scene one after another. Wayne estimated that these NPCs should have gone to their respective rooms to prepare.

Then the president said some "prohibitions" and "game rules", and gave the new recruits a pep talk,

and then let the new recruits light the candles in their hands one by one and go to their respective rooms to accept the test.

The initial rooms drawn by the new recruits were all on the same corridor on the second floor.

Leaving the common lounge illuminated by many candles, the dormitory was now generally dark. The new recruits holding candles each quickly formed a "blob".

Two or three people who were not afraid of the dark or had paid attention to the room distribution walked in front, the rest followed behind, and some who felt afraid or uneasy were crowding forward.

Wayne was quite adapted to this kind of environment, hiding in the middle of the queue, neither hurried nor slow.

Then the new recruits each found the room where they would be tested, and waited for the others to be ready with a tacit understanding, and then almost simultaneously pushed open the doors of the rooms.

"Ah——"

One of the new recruits didn't know what he encountered, and quickly let out a scream.

It was unknown whether he had fainted or had his mouth covered, but the sound quickly stopped abruptly. In any case, he had entered, and the door was closed again.

It must be said, the effect was quite good.

Wayne and the other new recruits with different expressions couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a moment, and stood in front of their respective doors looking at each other.

Then Wayne confirmed that there should be no demons or ghosts on his side, so he lifted the cloth curtain hanging behind the door and took the lead in walking in, and also closed the door.

Putting aside the atmosphere,

most of the rooms in the dormitory are actually the respective bedrooms of the fraternity members, but today they may have been slightly decorated.

The one Wayne entered was made to look a bit like a "torture room".

Everyday furniture such as beds and bookshelves were now covered with black curtains, and a relatively open space was enclosed in the room.

In the center of the space was a table with two candles on it, an empty chair in front of the table, and a person sitting behind the table whose figure and appearance were hidden in a white robe and a white pointed hood.

Okay, there was also a dozen of what looked like several kinds of alcoholic beverages next to the table, and a box piled with various strange gadgets,

feeling a bit like "Truth or Dare".

Wayne walked to the table, put the candle on it, sat down in the chair, and waited for the other party to start doing things.

Unexpectedly, the other party reached out and tore off the pointed hood on his head, revealing his true face, it was Luke Matthew, whom Wayne wanted to explore tonight.

Luke Matthew bent down and picked up two bottles of beer, one for himself and one for Wayne:

"These two candles are proof of passing the test. Are you planning to play with me for a while according to the procedure, or just take them and leave after drinking the beer?"

This means he wants to let me pass easily.

Wayne tacitly took the beer bottle, pulled out the cork, "What should the original procedure have been like?"

Alcoholic beverages in this era need to consider "repackaging" for the bottles. Mass-market brands use several similar bottle shapes, only the labels and caps, or corks, are different.

Some taverns or guests will collect some wine bottles to hold wines that were originally in barrels, which makes the packaging simpler.

Luke Matthew took a sip of beer and put a dice and a notebook on the table:

"You roll the dice and then complete a problem or challenge. Success three times counts as passing. Believe me, this level would not have been so easy originally."

Wayne sniffed the beer in his hand, took a small sip, and felt that nothing should have been put in it, or even if it was, it shouldn't be an acute medicine.

Then he thought for a while:

"Why don't we change the way we play? We ask each other questions to deepen our understanding. That's at least more interesting than a boring test."

Luke Matthew made a face of happily accepting, and raised his hand slightly, "You are Ian's friend, which means you are my friend, I am very happy to."

"Then let me start asking."

Wayne leaned his body slightly forward and put both arms on the table, "Luke Matthew, are you a 'Fallen'?"
