Although Lin Xun regarded the administrator itself as the biggest suspect, he never thought of what his motive was.

Why did he suddenly increase the difficulty of the test, and why did he let Flanda and Kim remain on the front line of the war after he passed the test?

At this time, the two plot characters returned from the test, and Kim immediately told Lin Xun about the content of the test.

Kim was confused about Sorens' request.

Sorens asks them to find a collateral descendant named 'Assad' and to take 'Asad' away from Hallownest.

Previously, there was information about this side heir in the plot of the Master of Masks.

The subconscious of the birth of the evil aura erased the traces of Assad''s existence, causing everyone to forget about it.

The Master of Masks even forgot where Assad was in the Hallownest.

Due to the existence of the disconnected web of consciousness, Flanda can still remember that there is a collateral heir named Assad.

But the nurse has many side children, and Assad is just one of them.

As the most favored direct heir, Flanda did not pay special attention to Assad, only remembered his name, but did not know more information about this side heir.

【……】

['Flanda' shakes her head, indicating that she can't remember useful information about 'Assad.'] 】

[It tells you that, while not recalling useful information, it can analyze some clues from Sorens's request.] 】

[The nurse summoned the frontline heirs to withdraw to the Hallownest, but 'Sorens' stayed on the front line and refused to return to the Hallownest. 】

[This can be explained by the fact that 'Sorens' has long been resentful of his nurse, but this explanation seems to be correct, but in fact it is full of loopholes.] 】

[No matter how powerful 'Sorens' is, it is not the opponent of the nurse, so is it not afraid of the punishment of the nurse? 】

[Unless it knows that the price to pay for returning to Hallownest is far more terrible than the punishment, and that staying on the front line will have a chance to survive......]

[It does not dare to return to the Hallownest, because once it returns to the Hallownest, the nurse who is giving birth to a new child will be able to control its life and death through the web of consciousness, and no one wants to experience the fear of being controlled by others. 】

['Sorens' must have been aware of the events that had taken place in Hallownest.] 】

[And the reason why the two of them were able to survive from the hands of 'Sorens' should be that it has felt that its former sister has become an independent existence out of the consciousness network, and can move freely in the Holy Hallownest, without fear of the nurse's consciousness control......]

[So 'Sorens' did not return to Hallownest himself, but assigned the two of them to accomplish some ulterior purpose for him......]

['Kim' suddenly realized, muttered, I see, it is enlightened! 】

"What did you realize?"

Lin Xun couldn't help but complain.

The inferred information available for the moment could explain Sorens's actions, but the intent was still a mystery.

He knew that 'Assad' had become a half-dead creature of evil thoughts, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a plant of evil thoughts.

Why did this seemingly unimportant collateral child get Sorens's attention, and what did Sorens want to take him away from Hallownest?

Assad must have a secret hidden in him, and if he can find this side heir, he may be able to figure out Sorens's intentions.

However, the three of them did not know where Assad was, and the Holy Hallen was so big that trying to find someone in it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

When it comes to location information, Flanda gives a clue.

The abode of the heir is set according to his strength, or degree of favor, and the closer to the ninth floor in the center of the Hallownest, the stronger the heir's strength, or the more important his position in the nurse's heart.

'Assad' is an inconsequential collateral descendant, and its abode is most likely on the sixth floor of Hallownest.

If its strength is relatively strong, it is not impossible to promote its own residence to the seventh layer of the Holy Hallownest.

At this time, the three of them are on the seventh floor, and the best way to quickly find 'Assad' is to act separately......

[The 'Librarian' reaches into his robe, pulls out a bookmark and hands it to you, and he tells you that this is the reward for the two characters who pass the test.] 】

[You have obtained a 'Guide Bookmark'*1]

['Guide bookmark' (prop): The most important thing in the world is not where you are, but in what direction you are going.] With this item, you can open a random hidden location in the chapter you are in and find out its exact location. 】

The moment Lin Xun saw this bookmark that he had never seen before, countless thoughts flashed in his heart.

"I see, this may be the reason why the administrator ontology allows the two plot characters to continue to participate in the test!"

He sensed he had captured some sort of key message.

The administrator, who never interfered with the process of the Apostle's game, suddenly intervened in the test, which seemed to greatly increase the difficulty of the test and tricked him once, but in fact it was not.

Through the follow-up of the test, he learns important clues about the plot, and even gets obvious boosters like 'guide bookmarks'.

The meaning of the administrator ontology is self-evident.

Lin Xun did not hesitate to click on the 'guide bookmark' to use, and before using this prop, he had already vaguely guessed where the bookmark would lead.

[You used 'Guided Bookmarks'!] 】

【……】

[You have opened the hidden location of 'Assad's Dormitory' and learned its exact location!] 】

"And so it was!"

['The Librarian' tells you that he's done his mission and it's time to say goodbye.] 】

[There were many accidents in the test, but the final result was still good......]

[The 'Librarian' waves goodbye to you, then reverses the incantation, and the body fades away.] 】

[With his departure, the shelves and books in the library disappeared with him, leaving only the three of you in the room. 】

[Only the old voice reverberates...... Apostle, I wish you more success in your journey of salvation. 】

['Flanda' can't see the Administrator, but she can see the bookshelves disappear.] 】

It asked, "Oath-taker, have the gods you worshipped gone?" 】

[You nod your head and tell 'Flanda' that the gods have told you the location of the 'Asad's Bedchamber', and that the heir of the side line is not on the sixth floor of Hallownest, but on the seventh floor where you are at the moment.] 】

[Kim, who had been crowded at the door of the library and couldn't get in, was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly, it doesn't want to break the oath it made to the 'Firefly'. 】

[You and 'Flanda' leave the library, and as you leave, the library and the wooden door disappear behind you. 】

[From the position of the original door frame, only the flesh and blood of the 'Angel Nest' can be seen, and there is no trace left by the library......]

【……】

The three of them left the 'Angel's Nest', and Lin Xun followed the hints of the Netherworld game to the location of the 'Assad's Bedroom'.

The seventh floor of Hallownest is much smaller than the outermost layer, but it still has the scale of a large city, and it took a long time for a few people to reach their destination.

【……】

[The building in front of you also stands tall like the surrounding minaret-like dwellings, and it is the most common architectural style on the seven floors of the Holy Nest, and there is no difference in the slightest. 】

[And the 'Asad's dormitory' you feel is in this minaret building......]

[Ignoring Kim''s surprised expression, you stepped forward and slowly pushed open the gate of the minaret......]

[From the outside, there are at least five or six storey spires, but there are no floors on the inside, and you can see the tall dome at a glance.] 】

[The interior of the minaret does not occupy a large area, but it appears extremely empty, and there is nothing in it except for the four walls and columns. 】

['Flanda' realizes that something is wrong here, and she protects you behind her and walks around the four walls of the room, but finds nothing unusual. 】

['Kim' squeezed outside the gate for a while without squeezing in, and was about to use scorpion pliers to open the door hole wider, and when he saw that 'Flanda' didn't find anything, he couldn't help but give up the forced demolition and said to you......]

[It's obvious that there's nothing here, are you misremembering the location, or don't you think about it again?] 】

[You ignore Kim''s gags and go straight to the deepest part of the room......]

"You come to the deepest part, and there is nothing in front of you except thick walls. 】

[You take a deep breath and slam your claws at the wall!] 】

[The tip of the claw sank into the wall without touching the real thing, and as the claw penetrated, the wall in front of him disappeared without a trace like a bubble that had been punctured......]

[At this moment, some evil thoughts quietly grew from the bottom of your heart, but the total amount of evil thoughts was not large and could not affect you too much. 】

[A huge space of oppressive darkness appears in front of you. 】

[Not far away, the originally magnificent and gorgeous dormitory was entangled by endless rich black qi, like a giant beast trapped in a cage and dying and struggling. 】

[The connection between the dark space and the indoor ground is black and white, like two different-colored building blocks put together.] 】

[Before you entered the minaret, you paid attention to the nearby terrain, and the space inside the minaret was obviously far from filling the heir's dormitory, and the minaret was not connected to other buildings, let alone such a huge building. 】

[According to common sense, this space and the dormitory cannot exist here at all......]

['Flanda' looked at the dark aura that drifted away, suppressed the shock in her heart, and signaled that there must be a great danger hidden in the dormitory, let it go in and take a look. 】

[Saying that, it is about to step into the dark space......]

[Wait!] 】

['Kim' roared, and immediately waved the scorpion pincers, violently expanding the originally narrow doorway and entering it. 】

[It strode up to 'Flanda' and said to you, Oath-Oath, in case there is an unknown danger hidden in the dormitory, it will go first with 'Flanda', you are here, do not move.] 】

[After speaking, he walked into the ...... side by side with 'Flanda']

Lin Xun suspected that Kim wanted to take advantage of him, but he had no evidence.

[The two of them had just stepped on the edge of the dark space, but their faces changed at the same time, and they hurriedly retreated. 】

[You can clearly see the fear in Kim's expression.] 】

['Kim' wanted to explain, but he couldn't describe it accurately when he opened his mouth, so he could only repeat to you, don't go in, don't go in......]

['Flanda' pulls you away, away from the dark space, it has palpitations, this place cannot be entered, just now it touched the edge of the space, and it felt endless negative thoughts occupy the heart. 】

[That negative consciousness is extremely filthy, no, it should be called pure, it is pure to the extreme. 】

[If they hadn't evacuated in time, I'm afraid they would have been devoured by endless evil thoughts.] 】

Lin Xun realized what he was facing.

From the previous text information, it can be known that a large amount of evil thoughts gave birth to the subconscious, and in order to hide its traces when he was weak, all traces of the existence of 'Assad' were erased.

However, why doesn't the subconscious mind erase the existence of the rest of the plants of evil thoughts, but only 'Assad'?

Lin Xun couldn't help but have a terrible thought.

Perhaps the subconscious of evil thoughts that are still weak still needs to rely on the physical body to manifest, or survive, or grow.

Whatever it is, in short, the evil mind subconsciously needs the physical body of 'Assad'.

Now the subconscious of evil thoughts, which is growing ever-growing, may be parasitic on the body of 'Assad'.

"You have to enter the dormitory!"

Just because Flanda and Kim can't enter the dormitory doesn't mean he can't explore the scenes in the dormitory.

Having experienced the Evil God chapter, he already knows the means to avoid the influence of evil thoughts!

[You take out the 'fine copper sand mallet' and shake it gently......]

['Battle Angel - Valkyrie' answered your call and walked through the void.] 】

[You command the Valkyrie to step into a dark space shrouded in evil thoughts.] 】

['Flanda' and 'Kim' knew this battle servant of yours, and they were just about to dissuade you from being careful, but they saw the 'Valkyrie' flutter the bronze wings behind her back and rush into the dark space......]

[The dark aura visible to the naked eye wrapped around the 'Valkyrie', but it could not affect it at all. 】

[The Valkyrie is in the dark space, blinking at you with big dark golden eyes, waiting for your next command. 】

['Kim' opens his mouth wide and asks you with a look of disbelief, Oath-Taker, is this guy a human or a ghost?] How can it ignore that evil consciousness? 】

The Valkyrie is a refined bronze creation, strictly speaking, a robot, not a living thing, and of course can ignore the infection of evil thoughts.

He had used similar tactics many times in the Evil Gods chapter, and he had long been familiar with them.

"Hmph, haven't you seen Ji Niang?"

Lin Xun tried to enter the evil thought space by himself, but the result naturally ended in failure, if he hadn't asked the Valkyrie to take out the 'little evil ghost god rattle' in advance for him to vent his evil thoughts, maybe he would have returned to the city for free.

And another way to avoid evil thoughts has also failed, and the 'ripe fruit of evil' is now in a full state, unable to absorb more evil thoughts, and cannot be used as a shield in front of it as before.

Helpless, he could only let the Valkyrie go to the dormitory to explore.

[Under your order, the 'Valkyrie' flapped her bronze wings behind her back and quickly came to the front of the dormitory. 】

[It stretched out its hand to push open the door of the dormitory, and suddenly, surging evil thoughts poured out from the gate like gushing magma. 】

[A large amount of pitch-black aura could not affect the 'Valkyrie', it stood quietly at the door of the dormitory, waiting for the evil thoughts to erupt......]

【……】

[Finally, the surging momentum of the evil aura weakened slightly, and you were able to see some scenes in the dormitory through the gate from a distance. 】

[The deformed creature like a pitch-black fungus plant took root in the depths of the dormitory, and an endless aura of evil thoughts erupted from its body......]

[The strange creature seemed to sense someone coming, and the layers of branches and leaves rattled, and a head with a strange smile poked out of it.] 】

[The malicious gaze passed through the gate of the dormitory, staring at you from a distance, straight ahead. 】

[You have discovered the 'Evil Assad'! 】
