I'm probably going to die.

After Su Xue'er finished writing this sentence, the tip of her pen paused lightly.

The faint light reflects the snow-white walls.

A thumb-sized black hole slowly appeared in the wall.

A ring poked its head out of it, carefully looking around.

After realizing that everything was fine, I don't know what method the ring used to seal the black hole behind him.

When the wall returned to a snow-white patch, the ring jumped.

It jumped on the table, adjusted its balance, and stood.

"How's it going?" Su Xue'er asked in a low voice.

The ring lowered his voice and said, "They're not here, I've got it." ”

"Well done, thank you very much this time."

"Is it too late?" Ring asked.

Su Xue'er clasped her hands together and prayed, "I hope it's too late." ”

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

The ring no longer speaks.

Su Xue'er bit her lip and closed the diary.

She breathed deeply to calm her emotions.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

Through the thin door, a female voice came: "Mentor Isha wants you to see her within an hour." ”

"Got it, I'll go."

Footsteps faded away from the doorway, accompanied by whispered conversations.

"Good luck guy."

"yes, God knows why Mentor Isha favored her."

"Hmph, didn't you just arrive on the island alive?"

"It's not bad, but it's too good at stammering with the mentor, this kind of person is the most disgusting."

The sound faded away.

Su Xue'er held the diary to her chest and was stunned for a few breaths.

There was still an hour, but if you want to get to Mentor Isha, you have to leave now.

Time is of the essence.

Su Xue'er had to start packing herself up and preparing to go out.

He is a newcomer who is not even a student, but he was summoned by a mentor of the real power faction.

Gotta go quickly.

If you're late, you don't know what will happen.

But Su Xueer still took a little more time, opened the diary, and wrote the second sentence.

"I hope it's all in time."

Closing the diary, Su Xue'er got up and left.

"Your situation is too dangerous, take me." The ring suddenly spoke.

Su Xue'er thought about it and solemnly picked up the ring.

This ring is so special that if Mentor Isa sees it, it may have to pass by.

Mentor Isha always has a way to probe what is on her.

Fortunately, she was alert and hid the pamphlet in advance.

But this ring ......

"Can you turn into a hair ring, the most common, ordinary hair ring?" She asked.

"Yes."

As he spoke, the ring turned into a black hair ring.

Su Xueer picked it up and tried it.

Nice elasticity.

She wore a ponytail with a nano ring.

"Gone."

She took a deep breath and took one last look at her lounge.

There is only room for a single bed and a small table.

Su Xue'er has lived all these years and has never lived in such a humble place.

But in her eyes, there was no disgust, but full of nostalgia.

It's a little space of her own, no strife, no slander, no framing, and no one will come in and bother.

Here she was able to catch her breath.

- I leave this time, and I don't know if I can come back here.

Su Xue'er sighed lightly and slowly closed the door.

Outside the door, there was a very different scene.

The sky was dark and gloomy.

Low, humble bungalows, row after row.

This is where the prospective students and the sweepers, grooms, cooks, and grooms live.

You can only leave here if you become a regular student.

Su Xue'er walked along the gravel paved road and walked into the distance.

She's on her feet.

After passing a fountain pool the size of a football field, climbing over statues of people tens of meters high, and climbing up marble steps, you will come to the edge of the cliff.

A torch flew in automatically and landed in Su Xue'er's hand.

Su Xue'er looked at her feet.

Narrow steps creep in.

Beyond the stairs is the abyss.

Walking this road, you are not allowed to look back, you are not allowed to bow your head, you are not allowed to stay for a long time, you are only allowed to move forward, and then move forward.

Anyone who violates this rule will be devoured by monsters in the mist and disappear from the world.

Su Xue'er took a breath and took a step forward.

Immediately, a new staircase appeared underfoot.

As she advanced, the steps behind her vanished.

Su Xue'er walked towards the sky step by step, walking in the fog that enveloped everything.

She silently grabbed the torch.

The light of the torches could not penetrate the fog around her and make her see her situation clearly.

It's just for heating.

The temperature in the mist is enough to freeze you to death in an instant, and with this torch, the cold can be dispersed automatically.

The stairs continue to go up.

The gray mist enveloped the whole world.

In Su Xue'er's line of sight, she couldn't see anything except the gray mist.

At one point, she was a little timid.

Because it was like her own situation.

Abandoning her past destiny and her ugly family, she came here in search of a new life.

However, ahead of the fog, there are still many people who want to take her life.

Shadows linger all around.

As long as one is not careful, it will be a broken end.

This road is too bitter.

Su Xue'er stopped and stood in the mist.

Her eyes were full of exhaustion.

Suddenly, the fog was rolling in the distance, and it seemed that something huge was approaching.

Su Xue'er was stunned for a few more breaths, and suddenly reached out and touched her head.

She took another step.

She was brave enough to walk through the misty void.

The unknown noticed her movements, paid attention for a moment, and slowly retreated.

Su Xue'er gasped softly.

It's dangerous.

She struggled to cheer herself up and strode into the depths of the sky.

Dozens of minutes later.

Finally, at a certain moment, the torch in her hand moved.

Su Xue'er stopped and let go of the torch in her hand.

The torch flew out and sank into the fog.

"Click".

The torch seems to be stuck in a trap.

The rumbling mechanism turned for a while, and the fog in front of Su Xue'er tore a hole.

Su Xue'er could clearly see the corridor opposite.

This is not the main entrance, but a hidden entrance.

Su Xue'er walked in.

The wall behind her closed the moment she walked in.

Su Xue'er lowered her head, put on a veil, and walked along the corridor in the direction of the set goal.

She put the hood behind her on.

This is the most basic protection to prevent those who are in the process of seeing their faces.

The last time I came here, a formal student saw her appearance and insisted on pulling her to talk.

Just in time for the bell to ring for class.

The student had to stop for a while, ask someone else for her name, and then leave in a huff.

Thankfully.

Otherwise, Su Xueer could only kill the other party with all her strength, or kill herself.

Letting the pedestrians pass, Su Xueer walked quickly from the far edge of the road.

It seemed like a century had passed, and Su Xue'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the road, an open square came into view.

There are many strange things, quietly suspended in mid-air.

Scrolls, cards, hourglasses, clothes, black books, unknown animal parts, branches floating in the air......

Everything here represents the realm of power of its master.

There were two things that were arched in the middle like a star.

A huge tooth that exudes a ferocious aura.

A blood-soaked scroll.

They are like the owners of the place, occupying a place in the middle of the whole square.

That's the thing of the dean and the precept chief.

If a student wants to find them, just go and touch these two things and they will be there.

Su Xue'er retracted her gaze and searched for her target among the many items.

Soon, she saw a huge card that was two people tall.

On the card, a snake-haired beauty holding a large shield stands on a winding mountain road.

Sensing Su Xue'er's gaze, the snake-haired beauty immediately looked at her.

Su Xue'er stepped forward, saluted respectfully at the snake-haired beauty, and said, "I'm here to see Mentor Isa." ”

The snake-haired beauty nodded slightly and walked to the side.

She got out of the way.

Su Xueer walked into the card.

Passing through the side of the snake-haired beauty, Su Xue'er continued along the winding mountain road.

Half an hour later, Su Xue'er climbed the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, a woman in a black robe stood on the edge of a cliff with her back to her.

A drawing board floated quietly in front of the black-robed woman.

The black-robed woman looked at the fields beyond the mountain, holding a paintbrush in her hand, sketching lines and shadows on the drawing board.

The boundless dark mist embraced her, making it impossible to see her form and appearance.

But the pair of white wings looming behind her couldn't even be covered by the black mist.

A bright halo floated silently above her head, attracting attention.

She is like a legendary holy angel.

"I've met Mentor Isa." Su Xue'er saluted.

The black-robed woman didn't look back, still facing the desolate wilderness, carefully drawing a picture.

She didn't open her mouth, and Su Xueer didn't dare to say a word.

After a long time, the black-robed woman stopped her paintbrush and asked, "Tomorrow is the official trial, can you be confident that you can pass?" ”

"No, but I'll give it a try." Su Xueer said truthfully.

"If you don't have faith, you will die if you try rashly."

"But I still want to try."

The black-robed woman looked at the distant scenery, picked up her paintbrush, and began to paint again.

She suddenly said, "From now on, you will be my disciple." ”

Su Xue'er fell silent and did not respond for a while.

Being someone else's disciple is not necessarily a good thing.

The mentor has the right to kill and kill the disciples.

On the contrary, it is a trainee, who does not belong to any instructor, and is not allowed to be killed easily.

So Xueer is a trainee.

Her identity at the moment is the last layer of protection on her body.

Once you become the disciple of the other party, no one else will ask about life and death.

The black-robed woman waited for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You arrived in Kirishima alive, so you look down on me, the mentor who drifted here after death?" ”

The black mist on her body surged violently.

Su Xue'er hurriedly answered: "Don't dare, it's not. ”

She is not even a student, if she looks down on her mentor's words and deeds, the other party can justifiably kill her.

No one can save her.

"What's the reason for that?" The black-robed woman asked.

"I want to think again." Su Xueer said.

"Consider? What else is there to consider. The black-robed woman said.

She said impatiently: "Give you one last minute, if you still don't want to, even if I will be punished from above afterwards, I will kill you now." ”

With these words, the veil between the two was finally lifted.

Yes.

I just want your life.

What can you do?

After the black-robed woman finished speaking, she still turned her back to Su Xue'er and drew on the drawing board.

Killing people seems to be just a trivial thing.

She didn't bother to turn around and glance at Su Xue'er.

Su Xue'er clenched her fists.

Hurry up!

Faster!

Aren't you okay yet?

Is it too late?

Only the cold wind blows on the mountain.

A minute will pass quickly.

Su Xue'er hung her head gloomily.

It seems that it will not be able to catch up.

She was a little desperate.

Suddenly, she felt a slight heat in her hair.

This is the heat emitted by the high-speed operation of the precision nano ring.

Among the ultra-miniature AI built into the nano ring, the AI has made hundreds of thousands of trade-offs for Su Xueer's current situation.

"Maximizing the time error."

"The arrangement didn't catch up with the time."

"In view of the current situation, start judging again."

"Judgment result: Su Xueer has a great possibility of death."

"Re-find a response to save Sucher's life."

Build Strategy.

……

"In accordance with the known terms and regulations of Kirishima and the current situation, we will choose Strategy 793."

"Start assembling the nanoarticulator."

"Su Xue'er's voice characteristics are loaded."

"Prepare to speak on behalf of Su Xue'er."

"Ready."

Su Xue'er's hair was scattered.

The hair ring turned into a strand of hair, quietly running between the ends of Su Xue'er's hair.

Although the black-robed woman had her back to Su Xue'er, this hair was still very cautious.

It is only half the diameter of a normal hair.

It adjusted its own color to the color of Su Xue'er's skin.

Simulating the natural fall of hair, it gently fell to the corners of Su Xue'er's mouth.

Su Xue'er understood and opened her lips slightly.

The strand of hair disappeared suddenly.

……

"When the time comes, say your decision." The black-robed woman said.

Her voice carried a faint murderous intent: "Either die now, or wait until after the trial, and then die after the apprenticeship - if you choose the latter, you can live a little longer." ”

Her tone suddenly became gentle and gentle: "Su Xue'er, do you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”

A voice of despair came from behind him.

"I decided to take you as a teacher."

As soon as she finished saying this, a card suddenly appeared in front of the black-robed woman.

The card snapped and burned to ashes.

The black-robed woman laughed silently.

She whispered, "Alright, there is a card that witnesses this moment, and when you pass the trial, you will be my apprentice." ”

At this moment, the woman in the black robe was in a very good mood.

After the trial, the two will formalize their mentor-apprentice relationship.

When the time comes, the life and death of this chick are in her own hands.

I finally caught her.

She was the only competitor.

She must die.
