082 Truth
Zhang Shengsheng shot eight scalpels at a rapid pace towards the floor around me, and I secretly screamed in my heart, and then quickly shot a few light bullets. I was going to intercept these scalpels from the air, because I knew that Zhang Shengsheng's real killer move was not these sharp scalpels, but the invisible steel wire hidden behind the scalpel.
"Sharp Sharp!"
Zhang Shengsheng's 9 of hearts is activated.
Light bullets can't break the steel wire that has the "Sharp" stat at all, and I can switch from offense to defense.
The light shield was activated again, protecting me and Ergou as we stood and retreated.
The second dog also hid under my shield, fighting and retreating, while constantly interfering with Lin Xiayue who released the gravity field with the wind blade.
It is precisely because of the harassment of the two dogs that Lin Xiayue's blessing on the two of us has been reduced a lot, and I can freely control the light bullet to attack flexibly, otherwise it will be a lot of strength just to resist gravity.
Successfully leaving the eighth-story corridor, Li Ergou and I continued to the next floor and entered the seventh-floor corridor.
The lights on this level are not turned on, and it looks like no one has ever come.
Li Ergou and I turned on the nearest electric light, and at least as far as we could see with the naked eye, the location of the two of us was safe.
I found a place to sit down, and I saw Ergou sitting across from me, staring at me motionlessly, as if waiting for me to give an explanation of what had just happened.
"Why run?"
Li Ergou said flatly, constantly wiping his bronze fan in his hand, just now because he was afraid that the other party would be suspicious, Ergou didn't even dare to use the bronze fan, but only used the most basic ability.
"Those two guys, I can easily kill them."
"Maybe I'm still naΓ―ve and hope that everyone will survive."
I said with a smirk, shook my head helplessly and looked into Ergou's eyes and continued.
"Although Zhang Shengsheng wants to kill me, I actually have no grudge against him, and I don't want to make trouble to the point of not dying."
"I have a question for you, though."
I paused and continued, "It's okay if you don't want to answer. β
Ergou looked at me suspiciously, and I swallowed my saliva and raised my own confusion.
"The Awakened Contractor can beat the Game Manager."
In fact, I already know the answer to this question, after Li Xinxin told me that Zhou Zitong was an awakened contractor, I guessed that Zheng Wei was also an awakening contractor, otherwise Zheng Wei's ability seemed to be a little outrageous.
In the last Truth or Dare game, Zheng Wei killed the game administrator and refreshed my understanding of the contractor.
Coupled with the matter of the Awakening Contractor that Ergou told me this time, it is easy to draw a conclusion.
Zheng Wei is an Awakened One, so he has the strength to kill the game manager, but he is still far from the game master.
Through a few trials, I gradually discovered the pattern, each trial is carried out by a game controller game, and if there are mini-games in this trial, each mini-game is controlled by a game manager.
It's like Truth or Dare is a trial run by the woman in red, but in the Death Wood Man game, it's the Pumpkin Man who actually wields the right to punish.
This is the class that exists in it, if we can defeat the person at the level of the woman in red, that is, the master of the game. The day when we will be out of control is not far off.
Li Ergou nodded, affirming my thoughts.
I breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Is it possible for the Awakened Contractor to defeat the Game Master?" β
Li Ergou still nodded, which ignited a flame of hope in my heart.
However, Li Ergou's next sentence was like a basin of cold water that extinguished my hope.
"Zijian, I know what you mean by asking me."
"Still, forget about the idea of escaping from D University."
"Why!"
I subconsciously retorted directly, "Don't you want to leave this weird place sooner?" β
Li Ergou shook his head affirmatively this time, "Zijian, give up." β
"After completing all the trials, I will naturally be able to leave D University."
"How many people will survive then?"
Since Li Ergou was reluctant to reveal any more news, I could only change the topic and throw out a mood that I had always cared about.
Our school, which has nearly 10,000 students, now has less than 100 students.
Li Ergou replaced the answer with silence, obviously the answer to this question was not like she told me.
"So...... What about this trial. β
"I'm sure you should be able to easily find the scroll remnants, and when the time comes, the two of us will open a passage that can take many people away!"
"It's only ten seconds, but the two of us can send away a lot of ordinary people together."
I said excitedly, because since the scavenger hunt, Li Ergou has always been looking for ancient scrolls with a playful mind, but I know that if she wasn't completely sure, she wouldn't be so relaxed.
Li Xinxin walked over to me, looked at my face that was slightly distorted by excitement and sighed.
"Lin Zijian, start putting away your savior's heart from today."
"In the D-major, we can only survive by killing."
"You can't save anyone!"
Li Ergou said word by word, turned around and walked towards the reading room in the corridor. I still didn't give up, continued to go around in front of Li Ergou, blocked her way and said.
"Now we have a chance! Let's find a remnant first, and then ...... the others."
"Enough!"
Li Ergou said coldly, grabbed me by the collar and picked me up, I never thought that Li Ergou's strength was so great.
"Zijian, you remember. Except for the contractor, none of the rest will survive to the end. β
"This game, without the Playing Card Protector, would not have been able to leave this library."
"They're already dead."
I have already thought of the answer to this question. But when it came out of the mouth of the second dog, I still didn't listen to it.
Ergou is right, I have always been a savior mentality, and I have always been like this from the beginning to the present.
I always see the weak as the object of rescue, and I want to save them from danger.
But I misestimated my own strength, or the cruelty of the trial was beyond my imagination, and basically every time I failed.
Not only did they not save anyone, but they put their lives on the line in front of me.
"Let's go."
The second dog picked me up and dragged me towards the nearest library room.
"Now, fighting is the only way."
The second dog slammed me down the door and walked into the borrowing room alone.
The Q of spades and the bronze fan in his hand slipped from the sleeve and fell into his hand, and the light of the Q of spades was in full bloom, flying out along Li Xinxin's arm. It revolved around Li Ergou, and a black wind completely wrapped Li Ergou's body.
When the storm dissipated, Li Ergou appeared in front of me in a black suit.
The bronze fan in his hand has turned into a huge steel folding fan.
"I'm rubbing, is this a transformation?"
"This is the real state of awakening."
Li Ergou didn't say anything, just after Li Ergou woke up, many blood-colored ghosts suddenly appeared around.
Bloody ghosts, ghosts!
It should have been attracted by the powerful ability that Ergou had awakened just now, I don't know why Ergou deliberately attracted the ghosts in the seventh layer, but she must have her plan to do so.
I cast my shield of light to protect myself.
And Li Ergou lived up to my expectations, the bronze folding fan in his hand waved, and his whole body spun and rotated.
The waist exerted force, the whole body twisted, and the folding fan in his hand was waved out.
A strong wind pressure rushed towards the ghosts in the borrowing room.
In just a few seconds, the blood-colored ghost touched by the wind pressure was instantly annihilated, and the speed of the storm did not stop, and it shot directly through the entire reading room and shot out of the back door before continuing to move forward.
Li Ergou's blow was not only powerful, but also full of kinetic energy, penetrating the entire borrowing room, and the offensive continued to eliminate the ghosts in the corridor.
I thought that Li Ergou's blow was over, and I was just about to lift the shield defense, when I suddenly felt a huge force behind me attacking indiscriminately towards my side.
I looked back and saw another group of blood-colored ghosts attacking me sitting in the doorway from the hallway.
