Chapter 264: Who is hiding behind the scenes (2-in-1 for a monthly pass)
The countless blood streaks that Blood Jasmine had turned into were about to poke at the sarcoma behind Oda Mai.
Oda Mai's whole body suddenly tensed.
His right hand was involuntarily pulled out of his waist.
β¦β¦ Draw the knife.
Narration poured out frantically in front of her eyes.
γLet's go!γ γ
You can't trust him. γ
He deceived you. γ
You're going to die here. γ
[The 'key' behind you will be your only hope to live.] γ
[You make a choice in an instant.] γ
[A, go! γ
[B, leave now! γ
[C, there is an inner ghost, terminate this operation! ] γ
Oda Mai: "......"
Irin noticed Oda Mai's involuntary movements, and he roughly guessed Oda Mai's current situation.
With a flash in his eyes, he said, "Believe me." β
"Okay."
Mai Oda didn't talk nonsense, she held down her hand tightly.
But at this moment, she actually had a feeling that her body was out of control. She obviously didn't have this thought, but her right hand involuntarily pulled towards the knife at her waist.
But who is Mai Oda?
She is a ruthless person who cuts people up and doesn't recognize her relatives.
Oda Mai slapped her other hand violently and pressed her right hand to death, and the right hand that was about to move trembled slightly under the press of Oda Mai.
"Heh, is this starting to be unbearable?"
Irin began to feel refreshed, a smile appeared on his face, and the blood was like a claw, and in an instant, he followed the shape of a sarcoma and stabbed into Oda Mai's back.
Oda Mai snorted, but didn't scream.
Squeak Squeak β
After Irin made his move, the sarcoma behind Oda Mai suddenly looked like a rat thrown into a pot of oil, the sarcoma shrank and shrank, and countless pseudopods were like roots picking at Oda Mai's flesh and blood, refusing to leave easily.
Yi Rin doesn't mean to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade now, besides, such a fierce female man, where does Yi Rin need to be affectionate to pity?
Kiss!
Irin was merciless, and in an instant, he pulled the sarcoma out of Mai Oda's back like a cup.
At the moment when the sarcoma was pulled out, the sarcoma was strung on the bloodshot, struggled endlessly, and stretched out a series of pseudopods, surging towards Oda Mai's bloody back, as if he was still trying to return to his original position.
Hiss β
As soon as Irin's mind moved, the bloodshot strangulation was launched, and in the blink of an eye, the piece of sarcoma pulled out from the back of Oda Mai was strangled into a stinky piece of minced meat, the kind that could no longer be put together.
Sarcoma...... Utter silence.
Behind Oda Mai, even the spine bones are exposed, and the white bones, gushing blood, fresh meat, and snow-white shoulders form a miserable picture in front of Irin.
During the whole process, Oda Mai did not shake in the slightest except for holding her right hand.
But judging from her slightly trembling shoulders, Oda Mai was also suffering greatly when Irin pulled out the sarcoma.
Irin knows this very well.
If you can not make a voice, Oda Mai deserves to be called a "female man".
Behind the Oda dance, blood spurted wildly.
Woohoo.
The moment the sarcoma was pulled out, Mai Oda's right hand had stopped all movement and was back in her control.
In her panel, her health is decreasing as the blood rushes.
Apparently, she was in a negative state of "blood loss".
Irin raised his eyebrows and silently gave Oda Mai a thumbs up, then put away the knife and crushed the card that had been prepared, and an oversized cross-shaped band-aid appeared in Rin's hand.
This is exactly the prop that Oda Mai prepared in advance not long ago.
β¦β¦
γExtra-large Band-Aidsγ
γGradeγRare
γEffectγCompletely stop bleeding. Duration: 24 hours.
Note: Click to view details.
β¦β¦
Syllable.
Yi Rin's movements are fast and sophisticated, tearing open the little wings, and directly ...... the big aunt towel Uh-no, oversized Band-Aid, slapped on Mai Oda's back.
Moment.
The surging blood came to an abrupt end.
There was indeed no leak on the surface.
The props produced in the tower must be high-quality.
Although it looks a little weird, it is clear that Oda Mai himself is very satisfied with this effect.
Completely solving the last hidden danger behind the two, Irin looked into the distance, looking at the demon group that was stirring in the darkness.
The demons had already gone crazy, surging green light in the distance, eating at the corpses around them, but it seemed that they had not noticed anything strange here for a while.
Because Irin and Oda Mai have rushed all the way to this point, leaving a lot of "food" on the deck, but they can attract the attention of the demons.
The narrator of "that one" has already mentioned it before.
Food is very important to you. γ
Irin hurriedly turned around and gave Mai Oda time to sort things out afterwards.
Three minutes later.
The two of them finished their work and quickly changed their clothes.
In the dark, the Kryptonite outfit of the Skeletal Gentleman made Irin feel more at ease.
By the way, he was equipped with the brand new equipment he had recently obtained from licking his bag.
- Thief's Cloak of Magic.
Paired with a black tuxedo, there is no sense of disobedience, as if it was originally a set.
Calm, elegant and charming.
The effect on the magic cloak may be able to deceive the opponent's attack at a critical moment, and it can also give Irin a chance to fight back.
What's more, Irin has the ability to follow him like a shadow, and this equipment seems to be tailor-made for him.
It is very likely that there are not many props left in Liu Ruyan's storage space, otherwise with Irin's luck value, it would be difficult to draw this kind of thing in general.
Really.
Killing people and licking bags is far more reliable than looking forward to random rewards at the time of settlement.
But soon Irin tossed the terrible thought out of his head.
The two of them were ready to go.
Mai Oda's expression was slightly pale, but she didn't have a strange expression, and she still sat in place, as if waiting for Irin to make a choice.
After all, she didn't know who to cut next.
In the dark.
Irin with a different look looks like a different person.
There is a strange smell all over the body.
Irin smiled, "You should understand now, right?" β
Oda Mai shook her head: "I don't understand. β
Yi Rin's smile froze suddenly, and he could only helplessly explain: "From the beginning, including the dead Han Han, Liu Ruyan, and Cao Tiantian, they actually misunderstood one thing. β
"The narration that frequently appears in front of us, or the multiple-choice question, is not the official prompt from the 'tower' at all, but ...... In this school, there is a mastermind behind the scenes, and through the sarcoma behind it, those narrations and multiple-choice questions are sent to our brains. β
"That being, perhaps not aware of the existence of the 'tower', or our brain, actively simulates this hint into a hint of the tower, in short, in any case, the purpose of the narrator has finally been achieved. It succeeded in fooling us. β
"Over time, that sarcoma will completely take over the body and become a 'puppet' of that one, so that 'it' can successfully achieve a certain purpose."
This...... is the biggest pitfall of narration and multiple-choice questions!
Even Irin thought so at first.
After all, those multiple-choice questions are just too weird.
But now in retrospect.
Those multiple-choice questions...... Whether you choose it or not, in fact, you can't really make key changes to the plot at all.
All this was the result of the actions of the apostles.
Even if it's a "coercive action" multiple-choice question, Irin estimates that it's the sarcoma that forcibly makes this body take various actions by connecting nerves.
The process of choosing an "option" is actually equivalent to handing over the "control" of the body to the sarcoma, or to the "black hand" behind the sarcoma.
It's like a hypnotist who will try his best to make the hypnotic target relax his vigilance as much as possible and let go of all mental defenses when hypnotizing the subject.
Otherwise, the hypnotic subject closes his eyes and covers his ears, "I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen", and the hypnotic master has no way to start unless he has extraordinary power.
[Option], so that the apostle let down his vigilance and handed over control of the body, so he was controlled by sarcoma.
This is also why, in a certain "coercive action" multiple-choice question, Irin's desperate thoughts about "DDDD", and soon got rid of the secret control of sarcoma.
In the end, Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan seem to believe too much in the hints given by [Narrator], and finally landed in a box, which is regrettable.
The Black Hand...... Hehe.
Irin was still a little angry when he thought about it.
When Liu Ruyan chanted the incantation in the teleportation array at the end, Yi Rin's [Calamity-ridden] clearly confused Liu Ruyan's face, and Liu Ruyan's spoiled expression can also prove this.
But even when Liu Ruyan was broken, he finished chanting the spell.
Obviously.
The mastermind behind the scenes controlled Liu Ruyan's body through sarcoma, so that Liu Ruyan could finish reciting the spell, and then launched a teleportation array.
Butβ
All this, and why?
What Irin can't figure out at the moment is the true purpose of the "man behind the scenes".
From the time they came to Styx Junior High School, the "multiple-choice question" went through various options, as if intentionally or unintentionally, leading the five of them to a certain ending.
Everything is under the control of the "man behind the scenes".
Apart from...... Irin and Oda Mai pull out the sarcoma.
After the sarcoma is pulled out, there is no more narration or multiple-choice questions in front of their eyes.
So next, what will the people behind the scenes do?
Will it bubble?
Will it be launched?
Will there be a showdown?
While Irin was angry, she was also looking forward to it.
This trial is unimaginably dangerous, but all this makes Irin wonder what the truth behind it is.
In the beginning, Irin didn't want to dig too much into the plot, but this trial was still pushed by a certain black hand to evolve into what it is today.
"There are still some that I haven't figured out...... But it should be about the same. β
If this is a ridiculous layout, then after Irin overturns the chessboard, the "black hand" who has worked hard to play chess will definitely have the next move.
It's like, Irin flipped the chessboard with a snap.
Then he smiled at one of the chess players hiding in the shadows: "It's your turn." β
Irin's words, Oda Mai seems to understand whether he understands or not.
But it doesn't matter.
"So, who to cut?"
Mai Oda asked.
There are various curves and curves, and Irin's not explaining them to Oda Mai in too much detail.
Moreover, it is useless to explain.
Irin had wanted to touch his nose or chin in a pretended way, but he suddenly remembered that this action seemed to be very disgusting, and his fingers moved slightly, so he gave up on this plan. He didn't answer, but asked, "I think you seem to have an idea." β
Oda Mai's expression was calm, and she shook the knife: "Well, I think it's good to hack all the monsters to death." β
Yi Rin nodded and smiled, "That's right, at this time, your simple and crude method is the only way. β
Mai Oda: "? β
"Because I don't know where the other way out is."
ββ¦β¦β
"But actually, I just said it, and it reminds me a little bit." Yi Rin smiled slightly: "This teleportation array is a one-time thing, and in order to prevent reverse tracking, the duration of the teleportation array is very short, and it will be gone in one fell swoop...... Let's not mention this, if this road is the only way to survive......"
"Then it stands to reason that at the moment when the teleportation array fails, our main quest should be judged to be a failure."
"And that mission is ...... time limit Till death rests, that is, there is no time limit at all. β
"Since the mission has not failed, and there is no time limit for the future, what are we anxious about?"
"Maybe after a while, another way out will come out on its own?"
"Or maybe it......" Irin smiled even more, "If we kill all the demons, or completely blow up this Styx Junior High School, this 'Demon Factory' will not exist at all, will we be considered to have successfully escaped?" β
When Oda Mai heard this, her eyes lit up.
Makes sense!
This kind of heartfelt statement instantly made Oda Mai feel that Irin was pleasing to the eye many times.
"So what's next, a fun farming time...... It's here. β
After the two of them got dressed, the demons were about to rush forward.
Oda Mai took a knife and killed it.
Although it seemed that Oda Mai was still chopping vegetables, Irin's perception that Oda Mai's action of drawing her sword was a little more stiff.
Band-aids can only stop the bleeding, but it cannot completely cure Oda Mai's injuries.
In such a comparison, the "Dionysian Factor" enhancement that Irin obtained in Gotham City can be called a creation, which is wonderful.
But at the moment.
Irin was equally tired.
He's not a robot, and he can't fight endlessly.
"It's going to last a long time, I remember most of the roads in it, and now it's our home field."
Yi Rin said quickly: "As long as we don't run into those little bosses, everything is easy to say, let's find a place to sleep first." β
Mai Oda sliced off a demon with a click and looked back.
"......, I mean, take a break."
Mai Oda re-killed.
Neither of them is in the best condition at the moment, Irin's psionic energy is about to run out, and Mai Oda is seriously injured. The first priority is to find a safe room and fix it.
Fortunately, now Irin's memory is extraordinary, even if he doesn't rely on the attribute bonus of Blood Jasmine, his initial spiritual attribute has reached the realm where he is about to break through the first layer of "lock", and his brain is spinning.
Following the "map navigation" in their minds, Irin and Oda Mai chose a remote cabin and slipped into it.
Now in the entire labyrinth, there are a large number of corpses and blood stains in almost every corridor, most of them are very fresh, and the demons will not be able to find the two of them after a while, following the taste of blood.
Finally.
Shut the door.
After making sure there was no danger, Irin's leaning against the wall and sitting down.
Oda Mai didn't talk nonsense, and sat opposite Irin, gasping slightly, but her hand was also holding the knife, and she didn't give up.
In the darkness, the two rested separately and fell into an awkward silence.
"When did you learn my moves?"
There was silence for nearly ten minutes.
Oda Mai suddenly raised her head, and two sharp gazes fell on Irin as if they had turned into a sharp blade.
"Uh......"
Hearing this, Irin's stunned moment.
I didn't expect her to see it.
"Look, look...... If you're not careful, you'll learn a little bit of your power technique. Irin was a little weak-hearted, and made a "little" gesture with his index finger and thumb.
Half-ringing, Yi Rin hurriedly asked, "Wait, your family...... Shouldn't there be any rules such as family heirlooms that are passed on to women but not men, or once someone is found to be stealing from school, they will be chased to the ends of the earth? β
Mai Oda: "......, no. β
"That's good."
Irin was relieved.
You can continue to study with confidence.
Although Yi Rin is not a pure ancient martial artist, after so many years of radio gymnastics-style strengthening techniques and dragon walking influence, he will be more or less fancy.
In addition, Irin strengthened his memory and analytical abilities in the state of "local activation and super memory", and under the shroud of telekinetic perception, he almost memorized the power skills of Oda Mai when he drew his sword and swung his sword, the rhythm of his breathing, and even the frequency of muscle contraction and the angle of the knife.
Although it was difficult for Irin's sword technique to completely copy Oda Mai's sword technique, he learned a little bit of fur and killed monsters, and his efficiency was significantly improved.
Everyone's path is different, and Irin is not a melee evolution route, and he can learn to fur it, just to save psionic energy.
Facing a tricky enemy, Irin didn't plan to rely on this bit of stealing to show off his presence in front of the boss.
- That's looking for death.
Mai Oda replied.
And there was silence.
No more talking.
It doesn't seem like he minds Irin stealing some of her moves.
She could indeed tell that there was a shadow of her in Rin's movements.
After breaking the silence.
Anyway, it's okay to be idle, and Irin also whispers to Oda Mai.
"By the way, who taught you this way of dealing with trials? You can live to this point...... Awesome. β
"My teacher."
"Apostle?"
"Nope." Oda Mai was silent for a moment, shook her head slightly in the dark, and denied this possibility: "It shouldn't be. β
"It's a pity."
The two were silent for another moment.
Irin thought that this was the end of the conversation so eeriely.
Oda Mai suddenly said something more.
"The teacher told me that if you hesitate, you will lose."
"He also said that a knife without hesitation can cut everything."
Although this statement seems a bit fantastical.
But the superficial meaning is still very clear.
To sum it up, it probably is-
Hesitation will be defeated, and decisiveness will be given in vain.
met Oda Mai twice in the trial, and she was in such a decisive posture, cutting everything down without any brains.
I see.
"It's really a ...... A teacher with ideas. β
After thinking about it, this is all Irin's ability to say.
Oda Mai nodded in agreement, and said no more.
In the silence, Mai Oda dropped something and came over.
Irin took it.
It turned out to be his compass.
Irin smiled slightly, all without saying a word.
Counting the remaining time in the labyrinth, Irin thought carefully about his next steps.
The exit was gone, but Irin didn't think that the two of them would be cut off here.
There are still a few doubts about this Styx junior high school, and the answers have not yet been reached.
He believed that those answers were the key to his escape alive.
"Who's behind that?"
"Queen Yanluo? Dog? Guard? Canteen aunt? β
"The vice principal is dead, but there is a deputy and there is a positive, Styx Junior High School...... Or is it the director of this demon factory, why hasn't it been launched so far? β
"What role did that terrifying being behind the mirror play in this trial? Could it really be just an easter egg? β
"Or is it the hidden final boss?"
"Why?"
Why?
Countless question marks crossed Irin's mind.
The more I think about it, the more headaches I get.
But it is impossible to draw conclusions.
Irin had no choice but to open the Apostle panel.
The "cute rabbit" icon in the upper right corner has disappeared as the sarcoma is pulled out.
Next, there will be no narration, with multiple-choice questions as "hints".
In fact, what Irin didn't tell Oda Mai was that although there was no "time limit" for the main quest this time, for the two of them, it was actually ...... Yes, there is.
The time limit of the labyrinth is their time limit.
Irin and Oda Mai can still avoid the gaze of elite monsters such as Queen Yanluo for the time being, relying entirely on the shipwreck in front of them, a huge labyrinth of spatial confusion randomly generated by [Scene Cards].
Once the maze is gone, they all return to Styx Junior High School, and without any cover, Irin can almost make up the picture of them being beaten by a group of elite bosses.
- Very cruel.
Can this group of bosses be killed?
In the Western restaurant, because they were busy chasing Liu Ruyan at that time, Irin and Oda Mai did not really fight with Queen Yanluo.
Yi Rin wasted three opportunities to use the precious [Ordinary Banana Peel], and by the way, he lost the festival and successfully blocked Queen Yanluo there.
Oda Mai also used the ability of the "spirit weapon", but it didn't last long, so she took advantage of the situation and left.
Irin constantly analyzes the strength of both sides.
If he uses the last hole card [Bloodthirsty Calamity], with the cooperation of Oda Mai, it is very likely that Queen Yanluo will be killed.
Although Queen Yanluo's flame magic seems to have the ability to heal, Irin's disbelief that this healing ability really has no side effects at all.
It's like the "Dionysian factor", the effect is terrifying, but the physical exertion is just as amazing.
"I don't know if it has any effect on Queen Yanluo, if you use it indiscriminately, it's just a waste of spiritual energy."
"It's better than the 'big slap'."
"Pushed me into a hurry...... Hehe. β
In order to survive, Irin's plans to pick up the lost festival for the time being.
He quickly simulated and analyzed what kind of "suit" he had the "cards" he had.
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
While Irin's thoughts, Oda Mai was holding the knife and actually fell asleep, and there was a slight snoring sound.
"She's not made of iron."
Yi Rin smiled, listened carefully to the movement outside, and after nothing seemed to have changed, he sank down and entered the mod space.
Along the way, the chaos that Irin harvested was worth counting.
- He didn't have time to count either.
Now that I've finally taken advantage of this bit of free time, Irin's entry into the module space has taken a look, and he almost can't hold back his laughter.
"Nearly 70,000 chaos points!"
Finally!
When upgrading Batmobil to Summoning Mount: Dire, Irin depletes Mayhem Points.
In the second day of Styx Junior High School, Irin's mess was nearly 70,000.
This efficiency ...... So terrible!
Slightly converted, based on the average value of about two hundred and five demons, Irin killed nearly three hundred demons along the way!
In the spiritual world, Irin's feet are in the void.
He skillfully dragged out the two ordinary skills he had so far, turning them into balls of light and floating at his side.
Unstable Explosives.
[Run fast].
"Unfortunately, there are too few options."
"If I could have Lao Pan's luck and draw many skills, it would have been against the sky a long time ago."
Yi Rin sighed, and after expressing his real-name envy for Lao Pan's lucky value, he hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out and grabbing one of the skill light balls.
