Chapter 45: Shadow World: Purgatory Corridor Academy
As Ranch felt his surroundings light up again, his gaze gradually focused.
He found himself sitting in the back row of a classroom as wide as a theater.
In the dim space, the only source of light was the faint glow of a few oil lamps hanging from the walls, a dull, almost touchable golden yellow.
They flickered like the pulse of life, ensuring a certain visibility and adding some mystical drama to the place, and in the dim light of the lamps, the shadows of the tables and chairs distorted, lengthened, and swayed in the silence.
Although it did look like a classroom as far as Ranch could see at this time—long tables covered with red tablecloths were neatly arranged, new black-and-gold blackboards stood on the far front stage of the classroom, and the frames and carvings of the windows looked quaint and luxurious.
But this visual space of about 300 square meters should give people a sense of spaciousness, but for some reason it is gone, and the rich bloody atmosphere that should not be there is accompanied by an indescribable sense of weirdness.
For a moment, Lanch suspected that he had come to the underworld.
He looked down and saw a rough and ancient piece of parchment on the red tablecloth, with an inkwell and a quill sitting beside it.
The parchment is stamped with mysterious characters that are different from human language, but after the translation technique that comes with the Shadow World, Ranch is probably certain that this is a demonic magic exam paper with the nature of an exam question.
How is it still a school?
Ranch was shocked.
He thought he had finally escaped from school, but he didn't expect to just escape to another school!
Worse.
Originally, I was just listening to lectures at Ichrite Academy, but when I came to this demon school, it seemed that I was going to start the exam directly!
Holding on to the grave, Ranch raised his head slightly and glanced at it, only to feel an abrupt sense of alienation suddenly surging in the air.
The students in this classroom have different images, and each one is stranger than the other.
Each bears an indescribable trait, most of them have sharp horns, strange lines and exoskeletons on their skin, and some even have slender black tails.
In the hallway of the classroom, there are two guys who look like examiners wandering in an orderly manner, they are dressed in classical clothes similar to suits, neat and deep.
But surrounded by the smell of blood and the smell of evil, it looks particularly eerie and terrifying.
It's not good to look at.
Compared to the artificial shadow world [Hidden Flame of Winter] and [Infinite Phantom Canyon] that I had experienced before, the real shadow world was obviously not a heavyweight!
Soon, information about the film world was also presented in Lanch's sight.
This is a hint that can only be seen as a challenger in the film world -
【Shadow World: Purgatory Corridor Academy】
[Level: 4th Order]
[The number of challengers is 6]
[Historical Background: This is the darkest time for humanity. Human beings can only have day and night, and they are all slaves of the blood clan, but there are also some people who do not hesitate to smash their dignity for the dignity of the human race. If you want to reclaim the south shrouded by the blood moon, you can only achieve miracles by obtaining the power of demons. As a result, a crazy plan was born - a group of humans disguised themselves as demons through the forbidden surgery in the Imperial Experimental Field, crossed the extreme cold and dangerous northern realm into the demon world, tried to integrate into the demon society, and learned the magic ...... of the demons]
[Mission Overview: You are lurking in a Demon Academy that is too absurd for human civilization to investigate information, and tonight will be the most dangerous night, and you need to try to get through it safely.] 】
[11 hours and 59 minutes remaining]
[Objective 1: The exploration degree of the academy is over 60%, and the current progress is 3%]
[Objective 2: Investigate the source of tonight's danger]
[Objective 3: At least 1 person survives to the end of the time limit, and currently survives 6/6]
[Challenger Ranchi & Huber Ann's starting location is the exam scene, the exam time is 2 hours, subject: Demonic Magic Text]
[If the invigilator discovers any cheating in any way during the exam, the invigilator will have the right to erase the candidate]
[If the score is judged to be lower than 50 at the end of the exam, it will be unqualified, and the invigilator will immediately erase it]
[You can submit the paper in advance, if you have any needs, you can raise your hand to ask the examiner for help]
[Remaining time 1 hour and 59 minutes of the exam]
As Ranchi's mind converges, these panels of information similar to those of the artificial shadow world can be hidden or re-revealed.
It's just that after he understood the content of his first real movie world, he frowned.
Fourth Order, what the hell?
Ranch doesn't comment on the nightmare scene of the opening "exam" first.
He is a second-order, and Hubertian is a third-order, but if the Shadow World has studied mathematics, shouldn't they be matched to the fourth-order Shadow World?
However, Lan Qi is more concerned about the fact that if he follows the prompt information of the Shadow World, he should be temporarily disguised as a demon by the mechanism of the Shadow World at this moment.
Does it look detrimental to his image?
Lan Qi looked down at himself, except for the dark black uniform of this Purgatory Corridor Academy, his joints seemed to have an exoskeleton like white jade crystals, glowing with a faint glow.
Touching his head again, there were indeed two more horns, judging from the faint light and shadow reflected on the inkwell, the characteristics of his black hair and green eyes had not changed, and the horns and the lines on his face were pure white.
……
Meanwhile, on the campus of Ixerita.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the college was immersed in a deep tranquility, and at this moment, the setting sun had begun to slowly sink over the western horizon, spreading its last golden red on every corner of the campus.
In the Jera Memorial Plaza, not far from the entrance of the college, a group of passing students have already begun to enjoy their after-class time, discussing dinner options, and many students are sitting on the steps of the square, watching the campus carousel projected on the open-air giant screen in the center of the square.
From time to time, this open-air giant screen will rotate the live scene of the film world that the students of the current college are trying.
Since the film world is a projection of history, the film world challenge itself will often be no less than a wonderful and unique movie.
From time to time, students will watch live footage of the film world here.
It is not only a way to entertain and enjoy life, but also a learning process.
Of course, there are many students sitting on the steps in front of the giant screen, leisurely discussing the course that has just ended with their friends, or quietly reading a book, immersed in their own world.
"Huh? There's a new fourth-order shadow world? ”
"It's a very rare demon historical movie world......"
On the steps, a student suddenly said to himself.
This caused many students to raise their heads and look at the screen at this moment.
Since there are not many students who challenge the film world on the first day of school, it is clear at a glance that there are new challenges that have arisen.
Moreover, it is also a dark-toned picture with extremely vivid themes.
"Wait, aren't these two freshmen?"
Soon, some students noticed the [Challenger Information] column below the live broadcast of this movie world and exclaimed!!
