Chapter 9: Puzzles and Implications

"In that case, shouldn't we consider working together to kill the demon cultists?"

Song Fei said with some confirmation.

Su Lin shook his head and said, "It was like this before, but it may not be the case in the next round, we missed the opportunity." ”

Su Lin thought of the pig-headed man who appeared at the beginning, he was slow to move, even if it wasn't Tang Wu, Chu Liancheng and these ordinary people abandoned their fears, and it was possible to kill them by using weapons such as fire axes to besiege them.

But they didn't take that opportunity, he had a chance, but he restrained himself at the time.

It is certain that in the next round, even if it is a single demon believer, its strength will soar sharply, and it even has some superpowers that are difficult for normal people to understand.

Although Tang Wu is quite strong, if the wolf-headed man before faced her head-on, it is estimated that he will win narrowly at most.

"Let's choose a convenient place to rest first, otherwise we may not survive the game."

Chu Liancheng proposed.

Su Lin has no opinion on this, it may be safe for a period of time in the future, it is very important to conserve physical strength, and people lose their physical strength quickly in a tense situation.

A few people went directly to the self-study area to sit down, where the view was wide, and if a demon believer appeared, they could be found as soon as possible.

After Su Lin sat down, Tang Wu stuck up, sat next to him, and forced away Li Yanan, who wanted to be next to her, with his eyes.

In this way, Su Lin and Tang Wu sat on one side, and Chu Liancheng and the three of them sat on the other side.

"Song Fei, sophomore biology."

"Chu Liancheng, sophomore English Department."

After settling down, Chu Liancheng and Song Fei introduced themselves.

"Tang Wu, sophomore history department, Su Lin's girlfriend."

Tang Wu introduced herself, and hugged Su Lin's arm, with a sweet look.

"Huh? The two of them are actually in this relationship? ”

"Didn't you say Su Lin, you never fall in love?"

"President, do you actually have a boyfriend!"

Several others were surprised.

I don't know whether to start complaining from Su Lin, the legendary king of second rejection, or from a girl like Tang Wu who actually likes a man like Su Lin.

Su Lin: ......

"You guys stay vigilant here, I'll go find a weapon."

Su Lin felt a little awkward, and pulled away, and after Tang Wu's reminder, he remembered that there were indeed weapons in the library.

There is more than one fire axe, and there will be several fire windows on each floor.

He took two of them and set them on the table.

"I, I said Su Lin, do you really want to cut people with an axe?"

Chu Liancheng took a handful, but his expression was a little hesitant.

After all, it is a good young man born in the 21st century, and it is always a little unacceptable to suddenly let him take a fire axe to cut people, and he still has to die.

"Defend yourself, I don't want to die without the power to resist."

Song Fei said, picked up a fire axe, and tried to swing it twice, but it was very difficult.

"I ...... What about mine? ”

Li Yanan, who was smiling coquettishly, asked timidly.

"You can't move."

Su Lin said lightly, it's not that he looks down on people, Li Yanan has just reached a height of one meter five, and his figure is thin, not to mention wielding a fire axe, it is hard enough to pick it up.

At this time, Li Yanan saw the short knife in Su Lin's hand and said, "Can you give me that short knife, you use a fire axe?" ”

She felt that since Su Lin was faint in blood, there should not be a time when she needed to cut someone, and she took a short knife by herself, not just right.

"Nope."

Su Lin only spit out two words, and there was no other explanation.

"Alright then......"

Li Yanan didn't ask why, she is not a passer-by girl in a novel, she is also highly educated, others don't give it if they don't give it, and people don't owe her, and she won't mess around.

"Don't worry, Yanan, with Su Lin's help to solve the mystery, we will clear the customs safely."

Tang Wu comforted, his smile was very sunny and warm.

Su Lin, who was on the side, looked sideways, and said that Tang Wu was really acting MAX.

"The next time the trajectory coincides is twelve o'clock, that is, early in the morning, everyone will rest for a while and pay attention to vigilance."

Su Lin said.

Several people were silent for the next period of time, although Su Lin said that it was very likely that there would be no more demon believers in this "round", but no one dared to take it lightly, and they all looked at the surrounding movements from time to time.

Even Tang Wu didn't talk to Su Linkou, of course, it may have been that there were other people there.

[The good sacrifice is trapped in a deep labyrinth, but it will eventually find the right way out. 】

Until the early hours of the morning, no other demon believers appeared, and new puzzles arrived as scheduled.

Several of them brought up their spirits, not only to solve puzzles, but also for the demon believers who might appear.

According to Su Lin's previous analysis, demon believers may not be in the same space as them, and will not be cast until the beginning of each "round".

So when the puzzle is alerted, it is when the most danger comes.

"Move first."

Su Lin said that the study desk is too easy to be discovered, and it is still easy to maneuver around in the labyrinthine group of bookshelves.

Tang Wu rubbed his shoulders, then lifted the fire axe and followed Su Lin's side.

"Offering kindness...... Are you talking about us? ”

Song Fei was a little puzzled, if the first puzzle was not too obvious, this puzzle obviously also had a hidden meaning referring to their sacrifices.

"What kind of book could it be? Labyrinth, the way out...... Senpai, do you know what it is? ”

Li Yanan couldn't think of it, so he asked Tang Wu for advice.

Tang Wuliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously thinking about it, and there was no clue for a while.

Su Lin's heart was also a little heavy, he felt that this was the origin game system that was increasing the difficulty, but why?

Is it because this game is arranged according to the level of regular newcomers, but there is a super-level outlier like himself and Tang Wu?

"Su Lin, do you have a clue?"

Chu Liancheng also asked curiously, and at the same time did not forget to observe the surrounding situation.

Su Lin didn't answer, just thinking about the deep meaning of this riddle.

From the first puzzle, he also had a vague sense that the puzzles in the game, in addition to pointing to the key, would also hint at the situation they were in.

They are now in the middle of the bookshelf, trapped in the library, and together they allude to the labyrinth, and the right way out should be the key.

But what is the deep meaning of this sentence, and how to interpret it? What books would it refer to?

Offering of goodness...... Why is it a "good" offering?

Others don't know that he and Tang Wu can't say the word "kindness".

Kindness, sacrifices, labyrinths, if interpreted from a philosophical direction, what does it probably mean?

Alluding to the confusion on the road of life?

Is finding the key the right way out?

Su Lin gradually strung together the clues in his mind, and had a reasoning result, but there was no guarantee that it was right.

"Kind people will eventually realize that there is a right way, even if they are confused in their pursuit."

Su Lin said leisurely.

"What do you mean?"

Chu Liancheng was a little confused.

"Don't worry about what you mean." Tang Wu said coldly, switched to holding the axe in both hands, looked at the staircase of the hall on the first floor, and said, "It's here." ”

Su Lin's hand first tightened the short knife that he had found a rope to string around his waist, and then slowly released it.
