After countless trials, normally speaking, no matter how disgusting and strange the sights in front of him, the twisted monsters, the wriggling tentacles, even the strange white smiling faces on the other side of the wall, would not make Irin feel such a mood for the terrible scene.

The weirdest view, that is, there is no view.

On the other side of the wall, there was a boundless darkness in front of Irin.

It's not just like the darkness of "night".

It can't even be described as a "color".

The black, pure, distorted, restricted, and stupid in front of me, just like the concept of "darkness", has been solidified, and the extreme black is within reach.

Irin had the illusion that he could reach out even an inch beyond the walls to reach out to the essence of what was called "darkness".

It was no longer a color, it was not a background, but it had become a being called "darkness", and even just staring at it gave Irin the illusion of sinking into it.

Irin didn't have time to think about that pit daddy's multiple choice question.

His eyes, as if they had lost their brilliance, turned into pure black, and like a pool of stagnant water diving under the abyss, black and pure, without ripples.

Just an inch.

Not even an inch.

At your fingertips.

It's here in the blink of an eye.

Right in front of you.

Irin was almost attached to the darkness, face to face, face to face.

In the "darkness", it was as if there was a pair of eyes, indifferently looking at Irin.

Somehow, a sentence suddenly popped into Irin's mind:

When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.

Suddenly.

At that moment, Irin's sense of a sharp wind coming behind her head.

Almost without thinking, Irin pulled out the bloody jasmine with his backhand, followed the direction of the wind, and held the blade behind his head.

Bite!

Irin just blocked the knife in the back of his head, but the whole person was knocked off the wall in an instant.

"Damn, what are you cutting me for!"

Irin got up from the ground, flicked his numb wrist, and glared at Mai Oda murderously.

Oda Mai's face was expressionless, and the long knife was sheathed: "Without him, cut you awake." ”

Irin remembered that state.

There is indeed something in the darkness.

The world outside the walls is also very weird.

But he didn't lose his mind, but his thoughts were so deep that Mai Oda misunderstood what trickery he had fallen into.

If Irin was really confused, he would definitely not be able to stop Oda Mai's slash without saying hello at all.

"You almost hacked me to death, okay?"

Forget it, Oda Mai is also kind.

But......

I'm still so angry!

This woman barely showed mercy when she went out with the knife just now, right?

That sword was definitely the pinnacle of what Oda Mai, who had extremely high dual attributes of force sensitivity, could wield.

Maybe?

Saya looked at the inexplicable two with a strange look.

Don't understand what game these two are playing?

"Can you eat it?"

Saya suddenly asked innocently.

He didn't seem to notice the "violation of school rules" that Irin was planning to climb over the wall just now.

Oda Mai no longer explained.

Yi Rin had every reason to suspect that Oda Mai was indeed planning just now, and if Yi Rin was really confused, she decisively accepted Yi Rin's box without hesitation.

But Irin's no evidence.

In the Huating City incident, Oda Mai was also the first to make up enough death points needed for the punishment of mission failure, which shows how much this woman disregards her life.

There was nothing in her eyes but a knife.

Irin secretly labeled Oda Mai a "dangerous person".

But he also tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened to avoid any estrangement.

After all, dealing with this kind of person is much more comfortable than dealing with Lao Yin Beep, after all, it is simple and easy to understand, and there are not so many curves.

After Irin was cut off the wall by Oda Mai.

All the options in front of you disappear.

Substitute it with a flirtatious narration.

- [After careful consideration, you decided not to violate the school rules and choose to be a good and well-behaved student.] 】

on this.

Irin couldn't complain.

Doesn't it mean that going out late at night is a violation of school rules?

You're a double standard, murderous brother!

Those three options, Irin's careful review, and it feels like it's also no fuck to say.

Roughly summed up, the three options are to use three reasons to converge into the same option - [out].

[A] is to know the reason, [B] is to move the emotion, [C] is even more outrageous, and directly uses the radical method.

Irin speculated that if he made his choice, his body would involuntarily leap over the wall and be swallowed up by the eerie darkness.

It's not early.

Although it is said that the action of circumventing the wall is equivalent to useless work.

But Irin's 80% certainty that what seems like the easiest escape over the wall is a dead end that doesn't work.

Of course, at first, Irin's not thinking that the way out of an escape copy would be so simple and brainless, he just wanted to confirm some ideas.

"Saya, by the way, you seem to have said that you have been in school during the day?"

"Yes!"

Saya nodded obediently.

"All the time?"

"Hmmm! Saya has always been in school! ”

Oda Mai frowned suddenly, as if she had thought of something.

That's the second thing in the plan tonight.

"So, do you remember where you came from in the first place?"

Saya happily raised his hand, it seemed that under the super high favorability, Saya knew everything, said everything, gave and requested, and had everything...... It's always the favorability that has reached the top, and there are still a lot of benefits.

Under the different gazes of Irin and Oda Mai, Saya had a natural expression and said without hesitation at all, "Saya came out of the 'infirmary'!" ”

Irin quickly glanced at Mai Oda.

Confirmed the eyes.

Found the same issue.

Infirmary?

Come out?

Born?

Who gave birth to it?

As long as it is a normal school, there is an admission process.

In other words, it should be from "outside the school" to "on campus".

But when Saya casually mentions this during the day, Irin notices that Saya has no idea about the world outside of Styx Junior High School, and according to her, she has been in Styx Junior High School since she was "born...... 1st grade.

What about memories before junior high school?

Erased?

Or is there something else going on?

This is also an important reason why Yi Rin still comes out for a night tour in the middle of the night when the ghost knocks on the door.

- Inconvenient during the day.

At night, you'll be able to unlock more options.

Well, everything is a choice, everything is from the heart, and Irin fully got to the essence of the quest prompt.

Although Oda Mai doesn't often use her brain and only likes to use knives, it is not difficult for her to find such obvious weirdness.

Saya walked happily ahead, her expression faintly excited.

It seems that going outside at night is also a novel experience.

Irin didn't notice that Saya's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, glowing green again.

Those pupils gradually became narrow, like animal pupils.

"Did you notice it when you approached the gate just now?"

Irin and Oda Mai follow Saya and exchange ideas.

Oda Maitou didn't reply, staring at Saya's back, as if staring at a prey, and replied casually: "Bald? ”

"Well, no...... I'm talking about the lock. ”

“？”

Irin laughed: "That lock is almost rusty to the point of being unusable, I doubt that even if you insert the key, you can't unscrew it, of course, since there is an 'entry and exit permit', then it doesn't make sense if that lock exists." If the bald head and the dog are really terrible, then in fact, there is no difference between locking and not locking. ”

“……”

"So the question is, why set up a useless lock? Could it be that there is really a key to this lock in this school? But if not, what is the point of this lock? ”

“……？”

"I think it might be a hint, or maybe the lock was actually in place when the school was in the beginning, so it hasn't been replaced. And the strange thing is that I found that if you remove the five of us, the concept of 'going out' doesn't even have in the minds of the others. ”

"Then this lock, it doesn't make sense to say it, in Saya's view, this Styx junior high school is 'the whole world'. The purpose of this lock is not so much to close the door to prevent students from escaping, but ......"

In the darkness, Irin smiled confidently and said the final conclusion: "It's to prevent certain people from 'outside' from coming in, the walls, gates, locks, doormen, in my opinion, it's more like a declaration that this is 'someone's territory' and no one can touch it." ”

Mai Oda nodded.

I don't know how to feel, and I don't seem to understand.

A moment later.

Mai Oda expressed her thoughts: "Just cut it off." ”

Irin: "......"

It's like being in love with a cow.

Ah no, be confident, remove the word "as if".

This is a special love affair with a cow.

Irin covered her forehead.

Saya went faster and faster.

Mai Oda's pace quickened a little, and as she was tied with Irin on her shoulders, she suddenly said, "I feel like you've changed." ”

Irin's stunned.

After saying this, Oda Mai fell silent again.

Irin was puzzled, "Why does it sound like you know me well?" Probably not. ”

Oda Mai shook her head: "It's it, tell me." ”

As she spoke, Oda Mai seemed to be afraid that Irin would not understand, and gently rubbed the knife in her hand.

Irin: "......"

The atmosphere suddenly became mysterious.

This is obviously a world of science fiction.

Irin had no intention of asking further.

It's not the time after all.

One in front of the other, the three of them walked through the forest path.

Came to a building.

Saya happily pointed to the T-frame above the building, with a peeling expression on his face: "Senior Rin, this is it!" That's where Saya came from! ”

Mai Oda and Irin stopped talking and quickly came to the place where Saya was pointing.

The style of the building is similar to that of the school building and the cafeteria, and Irin, in fact, passes by this place when he walks around during the day.

Because the building was so inconspicuous, Irin only glanced at it at the time and thought that the blood-red "T" sign was a little weird, but this weird style of painting abounded, and Irin didn't pay much attention to it.

"Infirmary?"

When he learned that the "T" building in front of him was the so-called "infirmary", Irin couldn't help but look slightly stunned.

"Is there an infirmary with a 'T' sign?"

Wait a minute.

The top of the "T" seems to have been broken by something, the fracture is too neat, and there is a certain age, so it looks very natural and has no sense of disobedience.

So it was supposed to be a cross?

While Irin and Oda Mai were still looking at their surroundings.

As if she had returned to her home, Saya walked straight forward and pushed the door open.

Yo.

The door is not locked.

Saya didn't look back, beckoned to Irin behind her buttocks, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the infirmary through the crack in the door that had been pushed open slightly.

When Irin and Oda Mai saw this scene, they couldn't help but glance at each other...... Confirmed the eyes.

A moment later.

Mai Oda couldn't help but say three words: "It's weird." ”

Irin smiled, "Even you can see it, I can't see it?" It's just that it's all here, and it would be a pity if you didn't go in and have a look. ”

As he spoke.

Irin made a beeline for the infirmary door.

The moment he pushed the door open, Irin deliberately slowed down his movements for a few seconds.

At the same time, the telekinetic sense of motion spread out towards the infirmary, avoiding the ancient traps of hammers, nail boards, and slings.

Irin walked in.

But the heart is bright.

What does it mean that there are no options popping up when the multiple-choice question should be present?

"Interesting."

Irin didn't say what he thought to Oda Mai, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he motioned for Oda Mai to enter the infirmary.

Oda Mai was actually not afraid of anything, the knife had already been pulled out, held in his hand, and pointed diagonally to the ground.

In this relaxed posture, the knife in her hand can be used at any time, can be chopped, can be stabbed, a knife in the hand, everything, she has nothing to fear.

In the darkness, there was a strange smell all around.

Let's say it's disinfectant, but it doesn't seem so simple.

For a while, Irin couldn't tell the difference.

Maybe it's in the real world that there's never been such a weird smell at all.

After all, this is a trial, and anything is possible.

Even if it was a bloody nurse with a hideous face and a bumpy body rushing out of the darkness, or a monster wearing bell-bottomed pants with a triangular head and a large knife in his hand, Irin's wouldn't be surprised.

Through his sense of touch, Irin could roughly feel that the building called the "Infirmary" was divided into many unsealed compartments, each of which had a surgical chair that resembled a dental office, and various twisted metal arms were equipped with various sharp instruments at the front, faintly shining with a cold and strange light in the darkness.

"Here, Rin-senpai."

The plot of dog blood did not happen, and if Saya suddenly disappeared after entering the infirmary, it would really become the plot of a thriller story in seconds.

Yi Rin thought about it, and simply hid Blood Jasmine behind his hand, just in case.

After all, he couldn't predict what would happen next, and having the weapon in hand made people feel more at ease.

Saya writhed her ass in the dark.

The skirt is a bit short.

Irin was expressionless, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his mouth, his mouth looked at his heart, and his heart was as calm as water.

The sense of telekinesis is far better than vision in the dark, at least it will not be bumped by the surrounding tables and chairs.

If it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders around, Irin would have been eager to intervene and be quicker.

The space inside the infirmary seems to be a little more spacious than it seems from the outside.

Irin and Oda Mai followed Saya through several cubicles before they reached a wall.

There is a door in the wall.

There was a glitter beside the door, as if some crystal clear liquid was solidifying by the door.

Saya smiled and opened the door.

"Rin-senpai, that's where Saya came from!"

Behind the door, there was a deeper darkness, seemingly endless.

There is a difference between black and black.

There are slightly black, slightly black, very dark, very black, too black, fungus black, jet black...... Such as this grading.

In short, when he had seen the "scene" outside the walls, the darkness behind the door could not put even the slightest pressure on Irin.

I have seen the abyss, so why fear the dark room?

After Saya entered the door, Irin continued to open the way with telekinetic touch and entered the darkness.

Oda Mai hesitated for a moment, but still clenched her knife and kept up.

Behind the door.

It's a spiraling down staircase.

Rub rub rub.

As the three of them walked down the stairs, the torches hanging on both sides lit up with a clatter, very intelligent.

"This is also 'magic'? It's no different from magic, right? Different means to the same end? ”

Irin didn't pause.

Oda Mai felt new to everything in front of her, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"It always gives a sense of ...... How did you feel welcome? Hehe. ”

Mai Oda silently followed behind.

Looking at the man in front of him...... The back of the boy.

It always feels a little strange.

Mai Oda couldn't say anything, she felt that the feeling that Irin gave her seemed to have become a little different.

Knives, that's what I said.

But what exactly is different, Oda Mai can't say for a while.

As Irin said, they don't know each other.

But compared to the Ghost Fog Mountain trial and the Irin incident in Huating City, Oda Mai always felt that something seemed to have happened to Irin.

One thing, enough to change a person completely.

But.

What does this have to do with her?

Mai Oda pursed her lips and was silent.

Soon.

The three of them reached the end of the spiral staircase.

Rub rub rub.

In an instant, the fire ignited.

When the view of the underground of the infirmary was completely presented to the two of them, even Irin finally felt a visual shock.

Now.

It's a spacious basement with no end in sight.

Stepping out of the spiral staircase, Irin stepped on the basement floor.

On the sole, a sticky and disgusting feeling is fed back.

There was a pungent smell all around, and if you looked closely, it turned out that the smell of disinfectant water in the infirmary came from here.

Of course, that's not the point.

Oda Mai's pretty face finally fluctuated slightly.

I saw that her eyes widened a little, her lips moved slightly, and she was not good at words, and for a while, she didn't know what words to use to describe the terrifying and strange scene in front of her.

After a brief moment of surprise, Irin calmed down after a few seconds, and couldn't help but smile, "Is this really the style of painting?" ”

As she spoke, Irin stepped on the sticky, damp floor, and stepped forward silently by the dim light of the sudden fire on the walls around her, intending to take a closer look.

"These are...... Egg? ”

"To be precise, I think it might be more appropriate to use the word 'egg' to describe it."

That's right.

In front of me, the ceiling, the ground, the corners, and the walls were densely packed with eggs.

Each egg varies in size, the small one is only the size of a fist, and the large egg looks bigger than the life support pod.

Eggs of various sizes almost filled the vast basement, and each egg was filled with a reddish unknown liquid, a bit like blood, but not quite like it. Against the backdrop of the surrounding firelight, the scarlet liquid in each translucent egg reflects a bewitching red light, reflecting the delicate skin of Irin and Oda Mai, which is very cute.

Eggs of various shapes seem to be arranged in a certain pattern.

The closer the eggs are to the spiral ladder, the smaller the size, and the deeper the eggs, the larger the size.

In the fist-sized egg, there is a trace of slender spiral twisted flesh buds, and it is impossible to see why.

With a calm expression, Irin walked straight through the gap between the eggs.

I don't know if it's artificial, but in the basement full of eggs, there is enough passage for one person to pass, and it is not difficult to go to the depths.

The torch light flickered all around, and Irin and Oda Mai seemed to be in a monster's lair, and these eggs in front of them were all the descendants of monsters, and among those big eggs, it seemed that there would be monsters breaking out of their eggs at any time, so Oda Mai clenched the knife, as if she couldn't help it all the time, and cut it out with a knife.

A few more steps closer.

Irin reached the depths of the ovaries.

Suddenly.

Irin's couldn't help but laugh.

"This turned out to be the so-called ...... Where was it born? ”

Mai Oda frowned when she heard Irin's light smile echoing in the basement, but she quickened her pace and came to Rin's side.

Bite.

Oda Mai couldn't hold back for a moment, and with a flick of his thumb, the knife popped out a few inches.

Yi Rin hurriedly pressed back the knife on Oda Mai's waist and whispered: "I suggest you don't cut it indiscriminately, you didn't find that these eggs are full of liquid, if it's a monster, then forget it, but don't forget that there is also a strange thing lying on our back, these liquids, maybe they will react with the thing behind us." ”

After Irin explained.

Mai Oda obediently pressed the knife back.

Press Die.

No longer moves.

"Tut-tut, the workmanship is quite realistic."

Mai Oda glanced at Irin silently and did not speak.

Because she also feels quite realistic, I feel the same way.

The reason why Irin and Oda Mai were surprised was not because the eggs were pregnant with monsters.

Rather, it is because what is conceived in the reddish liquid of the egg is all ...... Person!

The life conceived in those huge eggs seems to have reached its final stage, and one by one naked "people" are quietly soaked in the liquid with their eyes closed, motionless.

But "they" seem to have the basic vital signs of "people", and in the egg, the chest of each "person" is slightly undulating, as if breathing, and as if sleeping.

Both Irin and Oda Mai understood the origin of everything in front of them.

This is the "birthplace" of all the students in Styx Junior High School!

They're all oviparous!

Born from the egg in front of you!

Along the way, passing through the ovaries, Irin and Oda Mai seem to be strolling through the museum of the origin of life, witnessing how a trace of flesh in the egg evolves into the shape of a "human", as well as the evolution of various features on the surface of the body.

The two were silent for an unknown amount of time.

Irin looked left and right, up and down, back and forth, carefully.

Looking for these "oviparous people", how different from themselves.

At this moment, Irin felt like he was playing "Let's find faults".

In the end, Irin, too, found a difference.

The position of the spine behind the unborn "oviparous people" in front of him is not as strange as the strange lump of flesh behind Irin and Oda Mai.

"Did you find out?"

Irin pointed to the position of the spine behind the man in the egg.

Oda Mai nodded indifferently.

"So, we're the 'transfer students'?"

Suddenly.

Mai Oda turned her head sharply, staring in the direction she had come, her body falling sharply, and she made a gesture of drawing her sword, as immovable as a frozen sculpture, but full of awe-inspiring murderous intent.

Oda Mai's reaction made Irin immediately raise his vigilance, and with a flick of his wrist, Blood Jasmine, who had been holding it tightly behind his back, turned his hand and held it in the palm of his hand.

One second.

Ten seconds.

Thirty seconds.

In front of him, no enemy appeared.

In Irin's perception, there was no one else.

Apart from the two of them, there was no third person or monster around them.

Of course, the person in the egg does not count.

"Two people?"

Irin stared, "What about Saya?" ”

Then.

Irin and Oda Mai were so focused on the egg that they didn't notice a thing.

Take them all the way to the "birthplace" of Saya.

…… It's gone.

“……”
