Chapter 67: Test Takers
It's a pity that Wang Rui didn't experience the thrill of a paid tyrant player crushing a free player, and knowing that he would not be able to defeat Wang Rui, a tyrant who used two top-level legendary equipment to cash out special game functions, Shadow Makarov simply put up a white flag.
"No, no, no, I admit that you won, I recognize that you have cleared the test-taker." The ghost's voice returned to the ethereal it had been, but it could still be heard from the slightly trembling tone that it had not completely gotten out of the shock brought by Wang Rui.
"Oh, that's the way it goes, it's a pity, I thought you'd toss a little longer." The feeling of slapping your face with money is always so cool, and I don't feel that I am about to become the kind of person who is slapped in the face in YY novels, Wang Rui looked at the floating shadow and said.
"Although I don't know why you chose to become a test taker to get the opportunity to study at Fudan University of the Northland, please believe my promise, since I promised you that I would let you pass as long as you win, I will not fail to fulfill my promise." Shadow Makarov said as he floated to the back of the chess room.
"Undead Fudan University? Opportunities for further education? What are you talking about? Wang Rui asked inexplicably.
"Don't joke with me, since that guy is the ambassador of the Undead Empire to the Higher Human Territory, he naturally has the right to give you candidates the opportunity to go to school." I don't know if it's an illusion, Wang Rui felt that the shadow Makarov was saying these words in a tone of envy and jealousy.
"If I confess to you, I really don't know what you're talking about, will you believe it?" Wang Rui spread his hands and continued: "And the ambassador of the Undead Empire you are talking about, I remember hearing people say that it seems that the Undead Empire and the countries of the higher human race have long broken off diplomatic contact, and the guy you are talking about is the ambassador of which country is stationed." ”
Wang Rui thought that his words would cause the shadow Makarov to be greatly shaken, but he didn't expect the floating shadow to say without care: "It doesn't matter, in fact, I can guess that you are the only test taker in the last two hundred years, but so what's the matter." ”
"The dynasty of the living is always so short, even the prosperous Western Han Dynasty only lasted for a thousand years, how insignificant it is for eternal death."
"Didn't you understand what I just said, this is the embassy of the Undead Empire in the territory of the High Humans and not a certain kingdom, and that guy's duty is the ambassador of the Undead Empire, even if there is only one dynasty left in the High Humans, he is still the ambassador of the undead."
"It's like I'm going to stay in this room forever as an examiner, that's my duty."
Speaking of this, the shadow Makarov paused and asked, "Don't you know?" ”
"Don't know what?" Wang Rui said that there are many things he doesn't know, and now Wang Rui feels like a sponge and is unwilling to let go of any information about this world, and the goal is to construct a rough picture of what this broken world is like in his mind.
"I can't go into details, because I am not allowed, but if you succeed in getting through all the trials and seeing, he will definitely tell you this." The shadow didn't explain to Wang Rui what he wanted to say, but just pointed out a direction for Wang Rui.
"The more I say that, the more curious I become." Even if Wang Rui said this, the floating phantom shadow didn't hear it, only to see the phantom shadow floating back after opening three portals on the other side of the room and saying to Wang Rui:
"Pick a door to enter, that's what you really need to face."
"What do you say? Is this what you really need to face for the exam? Doesn't that count? Wang Rui felt as if he had lost a lot, but he calmed down when he thought that he couldn't use those things.
"You can say it or not, it's just my test, but I'm also in charge of the key to open the door, so it can be regarded as a part of the test." Shadow Makarov said something that made Wang Rui almost angry.
"Ahem, Grandpa's." Wang Rui, who learned the truth, choked his throat, pointed to the three doors and asked the shadow who didn't care: "Is the real level these three gates, do you mean let me choose one door to enter?" ”
"That's right, in fact, the test I am guarding is these three gates, and all test takers have to choose one door according to their choice to walk in." The shadow hovered between the three portals and said.
"Since there are only these three gates for testing, what do you want to do?" Wang Rui didn't think that a ghost who liked to regret chess would be used to defend against uninvited guests.
"Me? My initial task was to educate the test takers on what the three gates represented, and later I was given the authority to decide if the test taker was eligible to enter the door. The Shadow continued.
After all, there are no signs next to the portals standing in the room, and if there is no guide, it will turn from a choice to a stroke of luck, and the blood-fainting lich will not turn a test into a test of luck no matter how much he escapes.
Wang Rui, who listened to the phantom's words very flatly, nodded and asked, "Then what do these three gates represent, and where do they lead?" ”
"Although the end of the road behind these three gates is the same, the process is different depending on the choice of the test taker." The Shadow flew to the leftmost portal and said, "This door will take you where you need to go. ”
After introducing the first door, the ghost that did not pause continued to introduce the meaning of the other two doors.
"The middle door will take you where you want to go, and the last door will lead you to where you want to go."
"Where do you need to go, where do you want to go, and where do you want to go? That's all there is to it? Wang Rui, who said he understood, asked.
"Of course, if you don't want to go any further, I can open the door for you to get out, but so far no test taker has chosen this path." The shadow didn't understand why Wang Rui's eyes were extremely hot when he heard him say these words.
"Well, if that's right, this castle and the world are the mental world of the guy you call it." Wang Rui suddenly asked something strange to Phantom Makarov, but he still answered Wang Rui's question seriously.
"Of course, this world is a great masterpiece, and even if the flame of that adult's soul dissipates, this world will live forever." For the first time, Shadow Makarov used the honorific title of "that adult", which shows how incredible this mental world can be separated from the master.
"Eun, I know, I know." Wang Rui didn't expect it to be this reaction that interrupted the ghost's exclamation and said, "I want to leave this mental world, can you help me do it?" ”
"You can't leave this world on your own? Aren't you licensed? Hearing something even more surprising, the shadow floated to Wang Rui's side and looked back and forth at Wang Rui and said: "I see, no wonder you don't know what a test taker is, it turns out that you are not a test taker." ”
"I've always said I'm not good." Unexpectedly, this phantom figure was so aware of it, Wang Rui sighed and said, "My companion and I just strayed into this world, can you let us get out of here." ”
"Hmm, did you get in by mistake?" The shadow floated around and thought for a while, and then stopped and said, "No, I don't have that ability, if you want to leave, you must get the guy's permission." ”
"Oh, so it doesn't make a difference." Wang Rui thought as expected, and walked towards a door.
"Basically, you're no different from the test taker, how did you choose so quickly." The shadow looked at Wang Rui without hesitation, and walked directly towards the nearest door against him, and asked strangely.
"What to choose? Do you mean what these three gates mean? Wang Rui stopped and asked rhetorically.
"A lot of test takers think about it for a long time before they get in, because they can't get in if they don't really think in their hearts...... doors. Before Shadow Makarov's words were finished, Wang Rui's figure had already disappeared into the door.
Only the shadow Makarov and a bunch of chess pieces remained, and the chess hall echoed Wang Rui's last words:
"If there's anything to think about, pick up the nearest one."
