Halfway through.

Irin quickly pulled a pack of compressed biscuits out of the storage space and nibbled on them.

It tastes like chewing wax, and it seems to be gnawing wood.

But in any case, after eating the compressed biscuits, the hunger in my stomach was finally relieved a lot.

"A piece?"

Irin graciously pulled out another bag and handed it to Mai Oda.

Mai Oda pursed her lips, originally wanting to refuse.

Coo-goo-goo –

But there was a sound in the air from Oda Mai's flat belly.

So Oda Mai quickly took the compressed biscuit from Irin and no longer refused.

After a simple meal.

Irin and Oda Mai return to the school building and walk up to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, it still looks very empty.

A girl with a quiet back, leaning on the railing of the rooftop, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, this scene is as beautiful as a painting, and the girl is like a white lotus in the painting.

Well, if you have to give this painting a name.

So should it be ...... "The Girl and the Pale Sky"?

Irin nodded in satisfaction.

He has always been very confident in his taste for names.

[A girl suddenly appears in front of you. 】

[A girl who makes you feel that the world in front of you suddenly turns pale.] 】

[The back of this girl makes you feel as if at this moment, how the world has become, and it no longer matters. 】

[So, you choose-]

[A. Walk up and pat the girl on the shoulder and ask for his name.] 】

[B, quietly walked to the girl's side, with blurry eyes, staring at the sky. 】

[C. Turn around and leave immediately, giving up the encounter with the story that may happen in this section.] 】

The option and narration reappear.

But in fact, for Irin now, the options are meaningless except to give a little hint.

He can choose D, or even E, and maybe F?

In short, everything is a choice.

Even if it's not an option, you can choose it.

"Don't pick randomly."

Irin was afraid that Oda Dance would choose C indiscriminately, so she reminded in a low voice.

At this time, Oda Mai had already hung the black sheath long knife at her waist and nodded silently.

It's like saying—

"I choose the knife."

Irin pondered his options.

If Han Han, who died here, also had this option in front of him, then his death would indeed be unjust.

At the beginning of the trial, it is indeed easy to be killed here by the pit if you don't know why.

Thinking of this, Irin smiled slightly.

Without hesitation, I chose C directly.

At the moment of choice, Irin slowly turned around, ready to leave.

In fact, Irin's not worried about missing this "plot".

Even if the body is really taken away under the "pathfinding mode", it is a big deal to run back to the rooftop and choose again.

Well, everything from the heart.

"That classmate, please stay."

Just as I-Rin was about to leave, the woman who was looking up at the sky not far away suddenly looked at Irin, looking at each other from afar, and she was pitiful.

Really.

Irin's footsteps froze in place.

The opening lines of this scene seem to be a scene in a bloody romance drama -

"I'll go."

"No, don't go."

"I really want to go."

"No, you don't want to."

"Well, I choose to stay."

"You could have gone."

"Nope! I'm not going! ”

“……”

Irin couldn't help but laugh when the lines from the bloody romance ethics drama came to Irin's mind.

At this time, another pouring rain will be more appropriate.

Irin said in his heart.

Irin didn't continue to think about it.

The girl not far away had turned her head.

The stunning appearance, the clear and flawless eyes, the thin eyebrows that seem to be frowning, and the eyes that seem to contain infinite words, make people can't help but refuse.

"Something?"

The girl smiled slightly: "My name is Marisa, and I have been paying attention to you for a long time." ”

"Oh."

“……”

The atmosphere was strangely awkward.

Marisa added, "I'm also a student in the second class of the third year, and I'm sitting in the ...... Position in the front row. ”

Irin smiled, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention. ”

“……”

[Marisa is a little angry.] 】

[Why did I run into such an elm head? 】

[But your straight steel-like way of talking has aroused Marisa's interest.] 】

[She has no interest in ordinary boys.] 】

[Explanation, you are unusual.] 】

Marisa has decided to try to communicate with you further. 】

Mai Oda watched the conversation between the two strangely.

But out of trust in Irin's "insidious" level, Mai Oda finally held back and didn't pull out a knife to slash at that face.

Well, I'll cut it again later.

Mai Oda happily made her decision.

She now sees everything in Styx Junior High School as "weird", and in Oda Mai's logic, there is no monster that can't be cut.

On the rooftop.

Marisa smiled and extended an invitation to Irin.

"Would you like to come and talk?"

Irin's eyebrows were raised, but he didn't refuse: "Okay." ”

At the same time, he quickly sent a message to Oda Mai.

Irin and Marisa, standing side by side, look like a couple who want to refuse and welcome them from a distance.

Marisa looked at the sky again.

Irin was also silent.

More than ten seconds later.

Marisa finally couldn't help it and asked, "Now, do you know what color the sky is?" ”

An option appeared in front of Irin's eyes.

[A, the protective color of love. 】

[B. The color of your eyes.] 】

[C. The same sky is different in everyone's eyes. 】

Irin wondered.

Such an obvious trap, how innocent is Hanhan to step into it?

Did he think he was playing the Galgame of the Raiders heroine?

It's not that simple, is it?

Confused, Irin simply ignored all the options.

"Black."

Marisa looked at Irin in surprise.

Irin explained, "Or maybe it's white. Isn't that obvious? I can't see it when I'm blind. ”

Marisa: "......"

Suddenly, Marisa didn't know how to continue the conversation.

Once again, the conversation between the handsome man and the beautiful woman fell into an awkward silence.

This time, it was Irin who broke the silence.

"Since you're going to ask this kind of question, there are only two possibilities."

"One, you're pretending."

"Two, what you think you see in front of you is not the real 'sky'."

"After a simple conversation, I found that the IQ levels of the second and third grades are not on the same line at all."

"After I temporarily ruled out the possibility of you pretending to be forced, I also proved one of my personal inferences."

Marisa slowly typed a question mark.

The conversation seems to be progressing beyond Marisa's expectations.

This...... Don't play cards according to common sense!

But one of them made Marisa's calm eyes flicker slightly.

Irin carefully observed Marisa's reaction, took a step back without a trace, and smiled, "Since you are eager to see the sky, can you please tell me how to get to the real sky?" ”

"Hee-hee-hee...... Do you want to know? ”

Irin took it for granted: "Yes." ”

"Then ......" Marisa bit her lower lip lightly, and glanced at Mai Oda who was standing by the door, Xia Fei's cheeks were a little more shy: "It's not convenient here, I think it's ......"

Irin quickly interrupted Marisa, "Don't think about it, I think it's good here, please hurry." ”

"Okay."

Marisa pursed her lips, a little disgruntled.

I saw her hands move down a little bit.

Moved to the hem of the skirt.

Her hands were as soft as a girl's flowers, and she used two white fingers to pick up the corners of her skirt.

One centimeter.

Two centimeters.

Pull the skirt up little by little.

Underneath the skirt, it seems to contain some kind of big secret.

Three centimeters.

Underneath the skirt, it seems that there is a secret garden hidden.

Five centimeters.

underneath the skirt, as if ......

Irin suddenly moved.

Without warning.

In an instant, Irin flicked his fingers, and a popping bead that had already been held in his hand and had already activated his skills to turn into an "unstable explosive" popped out of his fingers!

BiuBiuBiu！

At the same time, the card in Irin's hand shattered, and the light shone brightly, turning into blood jasmine, and stabbing Marisa in the neck without any fancies.

The direction of the popper is not somewhere on Marisa's body, or somewhere else, but ...... Ground!

At the moment when Irin made his move, Oda Mai, who had been standing in the distance without moving, was full of murderous intent in an instant, her muscles were tense, and she crouched like a cheetah, and it was like a strong bow that was bent to the extreme and was about to eject.

Kill!

Two people at the same time!

A look of surprise flashed in Marisa's eyes.

She never expected that the man in front of her would be so ruthless and come as she said it.

She hasn't even had time to lift her skirt yet!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Irin and Oda Mai had already planned it, and their movements were so fast that they couldn't even react to their eyes.

Marisa's hands were still pulling her skirt, and she didn't have time to care.

In the blink of an eye, Rin's blood jasmine had sunk deep into Marisa's neck, leaking out from the back of her neck, and even bringing out a pale red blood.

At the same time, the popping bead that Irin popped into the ground unexpectedly bounced off the ground and bounced at a precise angle to the bottom of Marisa's skirt.

Irin's expression remained unchanged, and he just smiled and said, "You're taking off too slowly, I'll help you." ”

As she spoke, Irin quickly pulled Blood Jasmine from Marisa's neck.

Make a "pop" pumping sound.

And the next second.

Marisa covered the wound on her neck in shock and anger, and there was constantly stinking blood oozing from it, and I don't know if it was because of Irin's knife, or if Marisa was so excited at the moment that she couldn't even roar or scream for a while.

The popping beads reach the bottom of the skirt.

And then—

Exploded.

Rumble!

And at the moment.

Oda Dance is finished.

Step out.

But Irin, however, could barely make out that in what seemed to be a one-step spacing, five almost continuum sounds.

Because the speed of the Oda dance is too fast, so these five steps look like they have only taken one step visually.

In the blink of an eye, Oda Mai teleported from the rooftop entrance to Marisa.

Marisa was already retreating because of Irin's sudden attack, but the sudden explosion from under her skirt made Marisa's movements pause again.

Upskirt gushing ...... Billowing black smoke!

It also smells weird.

And at this pause, Marisa's originally wonderful pupils instantly shrank into vertical lines, and a faint green light appeared.

Marisa's eyes were shrouded in an unpretentious sword light.

Just a knife!

Oda Mai –

Draw the knife!

"Ah, take a breath!"

Only then did Irin remember the style of Oda dancing with a knife, and hurriedly reminded him.

But the words just came out.

Yi Rin couldn't help but shake his head again: "It's late." ”

The snow-white sword light turned into a slender ray of light, and it slashed across Marisa's neck with great precision.

Click.

The long knife is sheathed.

Mai Oda has re-established her second sword stance.

Draw the knife and slash, each time you draw the knife, only one cut.

Of course, you can also pull it again, cut it again, pull it out again, cut it again, and repeat it, in an infinite loop.

As long as Mai Oda's strength is enough.

It's not the first time I've seen Oda dance with a sword.

Every time Irin, I feel that the posture of Oda Mai waving the knife is full of strange beauty, two points and one line, crisp and neat, without superfluous bells and whistles.

When Oda Mai swung his sword, it wasn't until it was sheathed that a thin streak of blood appeared on Marisa's neck.

Maybe this is fate, Oda Mai and Irin's agreed to do it, but they both aimed at each other's necks one after another, and they both seemed to have a soft spot for this part.

Marisa's eyes widened and she froze.

The wound from her neck, as well as the explosion of her skirt, seem to have taken a heavy toll on Marisa.

Three seconds later.

Marisa's frozen head suddenly fell from her neck, and from the cross-section of her neck, two pillars of blood suddenly erupted, like a fountain.

And the next moment, Marisa's body, which had lost her head, also fell to the ground softly, without a sound.

Mai Oda seemed to have done just a trivial thing and stood quietly in place.

After "killing" Marisa.

Before Irin's eyes, the narration appeared again.

[You are mad and have personally drawn a perfect end to this encounter that has not yet had time to happen. 】

“……”

Irin stares at Marisa's "corpse" with her head and body separated.

The bottom of the skirt was a mess.

Mai Oda glanced at Irin expressionlessly.

It seems that there are some words that I don't know whether to say or not.

Oda Mai didn't know what Irin was planning at all.

She's just in charge of slashing monsters.

Now the monster has been cut.

Mai Oda turned around and prepared to leave.

And suddenly.

Irin smiled, "What are you going to do so quickly?" ”

Oda Mai paused, but her expression remained the same: "Otherwise? ”

"Isn't it still hot?"

Hiss.

Mai Oda took a slight breath, and she looked at Irin with a slight surprise.

Irin, however, ignored Mai Oda's thoughts at the moment.

He just whispered to Marisa's corpse in a voice that was not too big or small, "Since it's still hot." ”

"So, that's it...... Let's kill it again. ”

Quack Quack –

In a flash!

When Irin's words spoke.

Marisa's body shook violently as she lost her head.

Almost at the same time, from the bottom of Marisa's messy skirt and the cross-section of her neck, there were suddenly red and white pieces of flesh, wriggling and bursting out.

The hideous and strangely shaped pieces of flesh condensed into two tentacles like long snakes in the blink of an eye, biting towards Oda Mai and Irin in two directions.

That's right.

It is...... Bite.

At the head of the tentacles made of flesh, there was a bloody mouth, no eyes, no nose, no ears, only a mouth that was greatly cracked, and between the fangs in the mouth, the viscous saliva was pulled into silk threads, as if the bodies of the two of them were hungry, and saliva was constantly dripping.

"Partial Activation: Locust Foot!"

Irin was prepared.

In fact, when Marisa fell to the ground and Irin didn't gain chaos points, he kept an eye on it.

Although Marisa's head may not be counted on his head.

But one of the conclusions deduced from the clues that Irin has so far tells him that this cute girl named Marisa should not die so easily under the siege of the two.

If it were an ordinary human being, it would have been farted a long time ago, and there was no other possibility.

But...... Not people?

Not necessarily.

In the blink of an eye.

Irin's bounce power was terrifyingly strengthened, and with a single step on Irin's feet, he leaped nimbly into the air, easily avoiding the onslaught of the bloody mouth.

Although Mai Oda was a little slower to react by half a beat, she maintained the gesture of drawing her sword all the time, allowing her to react in any situation. I saw that Oda Mai's face was as heavy as water, and in the face of that weird and disgusting monster, there was a faint excitement on his face, and his right hand shook violently, and a knife light swept directly into the mouth of the blood basin.

Hide?

That doesn't exist.

As long as it's a monster that can be cut, why hide?

The logic of Oda Dance is very simple.

In mid-air.

Irin lowered his head, stared at Oda Mai's movements, and condensed another chanting needle and inserted it into another part of his head.

"Partial Activation, Hypermemory."

Meantime.

Mental power perception envelops the audience.

Within this ten-meter radius, everything is under Irin's control.

Irin chuckled in a voice that only he could hear.

"I'm sorry, Mai Oda."

The bounce force is MAX, and Irin falls and jumps high again......

Oda Mai didn't have time to care about anything else, but at the moment when she wanted to put away the knife, her eyes were fixed.

That bloody mouth, regardless of the risk of being cut, used a mouthful of white fangs to bite Oda Mai's knife.

The other end.

Irin jumped into the air again......

At the last moment, the corners of Oda Mai's mouth curled up in a faint arc without a trace, only to see her left hand actually stretched out into the void, and took out a second knife from the storage space!

It was a long knife with an old bandage wrapped in its scabbard.

The hilt was scarlet as blood, like solidified amber, and full of evil aura.

"Oh? The second knife? ”

Irin fell from the sky again and jumped quickly......

Seeing that the second long-necked head could not bite Irin alive or dead, it hated and abandoned its target, attacking from both ends, one biting Oda Mai's knife and the other biting Oda Mai's head.

"Two Heavens First-Class String Moon!"

The second knife is uninvited.

Irin sprang up again......

Oda Mai: "......"

Two minutes later.

"You're still jumping?"

Mai Oda put away her second knife and looked at Irin with a blank expression.

Irin finally stopped bouncing up and down, his thigh muscles aching.

Irin explained seriously, "I'm analyzing the movement patterns of these monsters. ”

Oda Mai ...... Believed.

She nodded, and slowly lowered her right hand from her waist.

Irin remembered the second knife that Mai Oda had pulled out just now.

I remember that in the Huating City incident, Oda Mai once said that her family lost a family heirloom spirit weapon, so because of a little clue, she chased it to Huating City, but in the end it was an oolong incident for her.

After the incident in Huating City, Oda Mai left Huating City in a hurry in order to find a knife, and Irin didn't have time to ask for details.

So it seems...... That demonic long knife is what Oda Mai called a "family heirloom spirit weapon"?

At the time, Irin, I thought that Oda Mai was just talking.

Irin didn't ask much.

It is taboo to inquire about the apostle's abilities and equipment attributes.

Coupled with the fact that Irin had paddled the whole way in the second half of the year just now, he was too embarrassed to ask such a question.

After the fight, call it a day.

Irin looked closely at Marisa's body as she was chopped into pieces by Mai Oda, frowning slightly.

If the whole school is a monster like this, it will be a bit of a problem.

Moreover, Irin also confirmed just now that behind Marisa, there is no weird "piece of meat" behind Irin and Oda Mai.

In other words, that lump of things is the unique "body structure" of several of their third-year and second-class transfer students.

If you want to figure out the function of that piece of meat, unless you find someone to take the initiative to pick it out, everything is just a deduction.

Oda Mai, on the contrary, is very calm.

As long as the monster has a health bar, there is no monster that cannot be killed.

"Let's not discuss what kind of monsters these are, their heads don't seem to be the weak point."

Irin uttered a nonsense.

Mai Oda bowed slightly, expressing her approval.

Irin, leaning down and observing Marisa's corpse.

"Although there is no condition for detailed dissection now, some of the structures inside their bodies are similar to ours."

Yi Rin lowered his voice: "The fatal wound should be located in the knife of the heart, and when you slashed it at the same time with the two knives just now, it also made many movements, intentionally or unintentionally, to protect the position of the heart. ”

Mai Oda hesitated for a moment.

A quick summary: "Cut it up, the meat quality is okay." ”

Irin: "......"

Oh, yes.

Although Mai Oda's description was a bit weird, Irin agreed.

If you are alone, as long as you take precautions in advance and don't choose a few random [options], it is indeed not easy to be pitted to death.

Han Han's death was entirely due to being too stupid...... Stupid.

The monster that Marisa transforms into behind also has obvious weaknesses.

If the agility is not too weak, it is not difficult to avoid the bite of those mouths.

That's why Irin paddled generously, and he wasn't worried that Oda Mai would hold a grudge.

You don't see, when Oda dances and slashes monsters, the excited expression on his face is like a drug, and it is difficult to hide.

But.

What if the entire school students turned into this kind of monster in the blink of an eye?

Thinking of this, Irin had quite a headache.

He was almost certain that the terrifying monsters hidden under the students' skins, the overwhelming sea of monsters, were the deepest hidden dangers of this escape trial.

If you don't find an escape route as soon as possible, maybe at some point, or after a certain trigger condition is reached, all the students will tear their faces, turn into ghosts, and pounce on the few people who are transfer students.

At that point, if you want to escape, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

It's a little strange that I'm not sure if it's because Oda dance moves are so neat and tidy, and I'll not see Marisa perform the "magic" she learned in class.

Or is it ...... It's too cumbersome to cast a magic trick, so it's better to follow the instinct and use the "bite"?

Well, quite possibly.

Until this point.

It can be regarded as finally solving the mystery of Han Han's death.

If Irin didn't guess wrong, Marisa lifted her skirt directly in front of Han Han, and Han Han was in a state of confusion, and his head was instantly gnawed off by the mouth that came out from under the skirt.

Poor Han Han classmate, silent condolences.

It's a little strange that I'm not sure if it's because Oda dance moves are so neat and tidy, and I'll not see Marisa perform the "magic" she learned in class.

Or is it ...... It's too cumbersome to cast a magic trick, so it's better to follow the instinct and use the "bite"?

Well, quite possibly.

Mai Oda glanced at Irin again and motioned for what to do with the corpses on the ground.

Yi Rin smiled: "You forgot when Han Han fell from the building? Corpses, someone will dispose of them. ”

With that, Irin prepared to leave.

Oda Mai thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, so she didn't worry about it anymore, followed Irin behind, and left the rooftop.

On the stairs.

Irin glanced at the time left on the Apostle panel and smiled slightly.

"It's time, it's almost time to explore, it's time to find an exit."

As he spoke, an ancient compass appeared silently in Irin's hand.

……

Half an hour later.

A student discovers Marisa's mutilated body.

The students who found the body were shocked when they saw it.

But seconds later.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

All the students drooled longingly, and their eyes burst into green light.

"It's Marisa-san, the second class of the third year!"

"How did she die?"

"Dead?"

"The teacher said, if you don't move like this, you're dead."

"Shall we report to the teacher?"

"Like...... Do you? ”

"But what if it looks delicious?"

"It seems to be still hot."

"Can you eat it?"

"Can you eat it?"

"Yes...... Eat? ”

"But here's ...... Violating the school rules, right? ”

"But as long as we eat clean enough and no one finds out, it's not a violation of school rules."

"Now, you're right?"

"Marisa?"

“……”
