Chapter 112: Hera's Codex
The delicate room was covered with a thin layer of dust, the windows were firmly clasped up, and the curtains were also drawn, and the sunlight shone faintly through the heavy curtains, and the whole room was somewhat dim and covered with an eerie atmosphere.
Aisha was just about to take two steps forward when she was stopped by Twilight, "Be careful, Hera won't let people find clues." ”
"She probably didn't expect you and me to find the key she left behind." Aisha smiled helplessly.
Twilight took every step cautiously, cautiously moving forward, watching everywhere, and when she was sure that there was no danger, she opened the curtains and a beam of light shone in.
A magical scene has happened!
Where the sun shines, a beam of light suddenly lights up to the top of the ceiling, and Twilight's gaze follows the beam to the ceiling, and a strange circular pattern spins around the top, the same as the spell on the previous door.
Aisha stepped forward and lifted the carpet, she crouched down and tapped lightly, constantly making a physical sound, "Knock-" Aisha looked up, "solid." ”
Twilight stared intently at the swirling pattern above her head when she noticed that the sunlight was shining directly on the vase across the window, which was inlaid with a small piece of crystal.
"It's a vase!"
Aisha grabbed the vase first, she fiddled with the vase, took out the bouquet that had long withered inside, and looked slightly disappointed, "Nothing." ”
At this time, the beam of light overhead disappeared.
Twilight's brow furrowed in thought, "Where would she hide the clues?" ”
Aisha looked around as she lay on the floor, under the couch, at the dresser, at the desk drawer, everywhere they could find it.
The last two sat tiredly on the couch, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes and a look of distress.
Twilight stood up abruptly, giving no clue for no reason, but not an answer.
A spirit, "Ceiling, lamp!" ”
Aisha immediately jumped upward, her eyes seemed to be aiming at something, and she took down a gift box hidden in the chandelier, and when it was placed in Aisha's hand, it magnified from a mini palm-sized box.
The two of them were pleasantly surprised when they saw the box again, the delicate carved box was locked with a delicate little lock, and the keyhole was the size of the key Hera had left for Elsa.
Aisha gently inserted the key into the lock, and the carved box made a mechanical rolling sound, and the box was opened, revealing a codex and a scroll.
On the leather codex, the yellowed paper was written in black letters, and the handwriting on the first page was darker than the later handwriting, Elsa's English name, elsa.
When Aisha saw her name, her hands trembled slightly, and her eyes were fixed on a passage in the codex:
"When you read that, it means that my plan has failed. Maybe I'm dead, or locked up in a dungeon. I hope that if you have the opportunity to escape from the Otaku Academy, you will leave forever, or never set foot in the dungeon. ”
The passage came to an abrupt end, the black ink, the scribbled handwriting, especially the dungeon, the uneven writing and ink, and Twilight could even think of Hera's obstinate expression when she wrote this sentence, and there was a hint of fear.
"She expected everything!" Elsa's eyes were slightly moist, and when Hera disappeared, she had never set foot in Hera's room or the past, nor had she ever tried to find the so-called clues.
Her body was unsteady for a moment, and she almost fell to the ground.
Twilight grabs Elsa, who doesn't know what happened to them in the past, and judging by the text alone, they may have been close at one time.
"Perhaps, we can find some clues to the dungeon through Guò's Codex." Twilight helped Elsa and motioned for her to sit on the couch.
The Codex is a diary that begins with Hera's awakening memories. The first few pages are full of memories from her real life, and after reading them all, Twilight lowered her eyes and meditated, "Her awakened memories are incomplete. ”
This part only talks about the past, and there is no mention of how she entered the otaku academy, not even the word accident.
"Huh? You say her awakened memories are incomplete? Aisha looked confused.
"Most of the goddesses in the otaku academy were designed to have accidents such as car accidents, and eventually fell into a coma, so they entered the otaku academy."
Aisha fell silent, her memories had never awakened, and the only memory she had of the past and present was the Otaku Academy.
Twilight and Elsa continue to flip through Hera's Codex, and what follows gives Twilight a glimmer of hope.
"In the second week after my memories awakened, I found out that Ares' third-year goddess Ricky was missing and began to investigate the truth about her disappearance. When I learned that her memories had awakened and she was caught, I began to be cautious. Eventually, Ricky disappeared into the dungeon. ”
"Three weeks after my memory awakened, I stumbled upon a secret, the entrance to the dungeon." Twilight was half taken aback when she saw this, and turned back two pages, but there was no record of the entrance.
"On the third day of the third week after the awakening of my memory, I finally became the leader of Ares, and I was able to gain more authority, which also meant that I could find out more secrets.
There are constantly goddesses who mysteriously disappear, and their precursors are all inadvertently awakening their memories, or violating the ten forbidden rules of the Otaku Academy, and it is impossible to sneak into the forbidden area. The emergence of one case after another made me more determined to escape.
The fourth time I dived into the dungeon, each time I followed the captured girls, their faces pale, their hands and feet locked in heavy shackles, and every time I went into the deepest part of the dungeon, they would wander outside the door because of the mechanism and other problems.
The seventh time I dived into the Forbidden Zone, I discovered that there was a huge castle underground, and the four forbidden areas surrounded the dungeon. Each forbidden area is a life-and-death examination, or torture.
After the twelfth voyation, I was finally able to step into the dungeon, and to my surprise, the dungeon was empty, and all the missing goddesses were missing.
And I discovered a secret that I didn't want to discover in my life, he is actually the master of this world. ”
Who is in control of the game? Twilight's heart sank, Lord of the Temple? What exactly is his relationship with Hera? Slightly surprised, and finally calm, this qiē can only be concluded by finding Hera.
Elsa and Twilight close their notebooks, barely saying anything about her plans. The two men looked at each other in disbelief, the last scroll, their last bet, hoping not to be disappointed.
When Twilight opened, the two of them widened their eyes at the same time, frowning and smiling at each other.
A detailed map, the mechanisms of the four forbidden areas, including the layout of the dungeon, are all shown in this picture. There is a pair of black footprints walking on the passage on the scroll, and the footprints have avoided some of the mechanisms.
Twilight suddenly remembered the map provided by Li Xun, she had always carried it with her, and after comparing the two maps, she found that except for the vacant position, the rest were roughly the same, and the biggest difference was the location of the four forbidden areas.
"The positions of the four forbidden areas are different, maybe it is really as Li Xun said, the four forbidden areas change their positions at any time." Twilight breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect Hera to really leave a map, and she didn't even find the clues behind it after her many investigations.
When Twilight turned the scroll over, there were actually ways to crack each mechanism on the back, the chrysalis of rebirth, adversity, the ghost burning the sea, and one level was an illusion, there was no way to crack it, leaving only four words, improvised.
Twilight couldn't help but smile bitterly, the first three levels were completed, and the last level was not cracked. The only benefit is probably the ability to walk through the dungeon casually.
Aisha didn't respond for a long time, her eyes teary-eyed, "I should have done something wrong, maybe I should have chosen to run away with her." ”
Twilight patted Aisha on the back and replied to her after a long time, "She already figured out your personality to keep such a paragraph." It was her own escape. ”
Twilight admires Hera's thoughtfulness and ability to create a map after diving into the dungeon twelve times. In the end, she was left with her heart and soul so that she could get full permission.
"Hera, perhaps, is still alive. Do you remember the last paragraph? The master of the world is not the Dean, but someone else. Hera definitely had an extraordinary relationship with him. She vaguely realized in her heart that Hera was still hiding somewhere in the dungeon, and Li Xun had said that she was the only goddess who was still in the dungeon.
"You should be glad you made the decision in the first place, otherwise, you will lose her forever." Being able to survive the battles of countless goddesses and investigate these secrets, Twilight can't help but wonder about Hera's true face.
Aisha choked up and wiped away her tears, "Hera is still alive?" ”
"Hmm!"
Elsa's memories are stretched far away, and she had tried to get Hera to abandon the terrifying dungeon, from which no one escaped. But she clearly remembered that the night before Hera disappeared was the moment their relationship broke up.
Thinking about it carefully, their dispute was inexplicable, and Aisha was relieved for a moment, and burst into tears and laughed.
"Hera deliberately got into an argument with me." Aisha suddenly said with a burst of light.
"So, you don't have to feel too guilty." In the end, Twilight didn't ask what happened between them, everyone had a dead knot in their hearts, and when the years passed, they would be relieved.
If Hera had been investigated in advance, perhaps there would not have been so many detours. But she glanced at Aisha again, and they were incompatible in the past. It seems that in the dark, the trajectory of fate involves them.
Twilight and Elsa put everything back in their place, and Hera's Codex becomes a gift for Elsa to treasure.
When Twilight returns to the dormitory, she sees a familiar figure standing in front of the dormitory door, and she hesitates for a long time, but her outstretched hand does not knock on the door.
"Ye Qian!"
She turned her head suddenly, and the moment she looked at Twilight, she lowered her head again.
Twilight walked slowly up to her, "Did Yuni do something to you again?" ”
Ye Qian shook her head violently and held back for a long time, "I'm sorry, I really had an explanation at the time, but the people around me didn't believe it." She bit her lip tightly, her voice getting quieter and quieter, tears in her eyes, and guilt on her face.
Twilight sighed, "I don't blame you. ”
Ye Qian suddenly stopped her tears, "Really? I'm afraid you'll misunderstand me. Her eyes flickered, a gleam of light
