Infinite Throne

   Chapter 253 Tricks and Lies...? (2 in 1)

   For Oda Mai.

   All red names are strange.

During the    trial, there is only the difference between being able to cut and temporarily unable to cut.

  You asked her to express her thoughts about the trial, and she couldn't say anything other than hesitating whether to draw a knife or not.

   So Irin finally recognized the reality and gave up the plan to discuss with Oda Mai.

   "Well, you... just play freely."

After    resolved Marisa, Irin said these words.

  Oda Mai nodded, put away the knife, and did not ask any further questions.

  The idea is gradually clear.

  This escape trial doesn't seem that simple.

   There is a complicated and huge plot hidden under the main quest of escape.

  If you dig deep, it is estimated that you can dig out a lot of hidden branches.

   But...is this really good?

  Irin had a headache.

   If you dig deeper, you will undoubtedly be able to further grasp more truths about Styx Junior High School, but once something that should not be touched is triggered, a lot of changes will be added out of thin air.

   "It's better to do the main quest first."

After thinking   , Irin made a decision.

   He didn't hesitate too long.

   After all, no matter how high the clearance evaluation is, it is also based on the premise of “clearance”.

   Now that half of the time has passed, if you cannot escape successfully, no matter how deep the plot digs, it will be of no use.

  Irin hid in an unoccupied corner and clenched the compass.

   "Deep desire..."

  Irin tried to activate [Compass from the Heart].

  【Compass from the Heart】Although the function is powerful, in this trial, the "target" that he can locate has only two chances.

   What do you desire?

  The taste of freedom?

   The color of the sky?

Export?

   The desire to survive?

  Irin concentrates.

   In the back of my mind, I turned one thought after another.

   And the compass was in Yi Rin's hands, sensing the desire in Yi Rin's heart, the pointer spun frantically, three circles left, three circles right, and it couldn't stop at all.

ten minutes later.

  Irin opened his eyes.

   stared at the compass in his hand silently, and saw that the pointer on the compass was still turning, as if it would never stop.

   "Sure enough, isn't it that simple when it's actually used?"

  Irin rubbed his brows and smiled.

  The compass from the heart can read the deep desire of the holder and point out the right direction.

   But the current situation is that even Irin himself has no idea what he is looking for.

   If the deepest desire for "exit" is the compass, the answer is too uncertain to indicate the correct direction, so it keeps turning, which is a sign of the failure of the compass to use.

for example.

   is like having a stomachache.

   If his inner desire at this moment is to "solve this matter", the compass can't give an answer at all.

  Because there are too many ways to "solve a stomach upset".

   1. Pull it in your pants.

   Second, hold back.

  Third, find a toilet.

   Four, solve anywhere.

   Five, I'll talk about it next time.

   Such a "desire" that is too ethereal and broad cannot be positioned by a compass at all.

   Unless it is a clear desire for a specific goal, such as "I desire the closest public toilet to me", then the compass can play a powerful role.

   At present, Yilin doesn't even know what form the "trial life" exists in, and how can the "desire" that he doesn't even know can be read by the compass?

  Irin silently put away the [Compass from the Heart].

   "It seems that we still have to collect information as soon as possible."

   "First of all, find a way to find a way to live."

   "Combined with the clues currently available, the most obvious, but very likely to be a trap, is only the 'gate'."

   "To pass through the 'gate', you must have an 'entry permit'."

   "In other words, to find the vice-principal?"

   "As for the vice-principal, it should be in the vice-principal's office. This shouldn't be a big problem."

   "The two 'teammates', if there was no accident, should have thought of this long ago."

   "Would it be too late to go now? But if you don't go, you might miss some clues."

   Just as Irene was hiding and thinking, the class bell rang on time.

  clang clang clang —

  Irin remained motionless.

   And just when Irin had no plans to go to class, the narration appeared again.

   [The lunch break has passed, and the class bell rang again. 】

   [You know, the next lesson is the 'Advanced Theory Class' guided by Queen Yanluo herself. 】

  【You are very worried, if you don’t go to class, if you are discovered by Queen Yanluo, you will face a terrible punishment. 】

  【But at the same time, you can't help but have some small expectations in your heart. 】

  【What if this kind of 'punishment' suits your taste very well? 】

  【Next, you decide—】

【please choose. 】

  【A. Youth without skipping classes is not complete youth. As an excellent transfer student, I accidentally skipped a class and passed by the vice-principal’s office. Isn’t it normal? 】

  【B. I feel a little uncomfortable. I heard that the health care teacher in the infirmary has a gentle personality, charming appearance, long legs and white skin. The world is so big, you want to see it. 】

  【C, Queen Yanluo's punishment is very scary, I still decided to go to class obediently, go to **** with a complete youth. 】

"Yo?"

   This time.

  Irin didn't hesitate for too long, and didn't do any strange tricks, so he chose [A] directly.

   After selection.

  Pathfinding mode is activated.

  Irin started walking towards the Vice-Principal's office mentioned in [Option A] involuntarily.

   After the class bell rang on time.

  Two classes in three years.

  Queen Yanluo was still wearing a tight black leather coat, with a snow-white thigh blowing in the cold wind, and a leather whip around her waist, patrolling back and forth in the classroom.

  The second class in three years, there are a lot of vacancies, and Queen Yanluo didn't know if she really didn't notice that there was one person missing, or she didn't care at all.

   "Where's that guy? Slip away?"

  Cao Tiantian looked at the empty seats beside her with a strange expression.

   "Has that guy started moving?"

  Cao Tiantian silently opened the Apostle panel and glanced at the remaining time of BUFF.

   It is now their second day in Styx Junior High School.

   On the first day, Hanhan died tragically.

   There are still four apostles alive today during the trial.

  Although Cao Tiantian is a little reluctant to give up the hidden branch line of Queen Yanluo, if the main line cannot be completed and cannot leave this weird school, no matter how much branch line is done, it will be of no use.

   thought of this.

  Cao Tiantian quickly communicated with Liu Ruyan secretly and sent out a message.

   in the corner of the classroom.

   In Liu Ruyan's quiet eyes, a faint green light flashed.

at the same time.

  Irin, who skipped class, came to the office building under the guidance of the wayfinding mode.

  The office building is a long way from the teaching building.

  Irin has never met other teachers except the head teacher and Queen Yanluo.

  The office building was sparsely populated, which made Yirin wonder if it was a gathering place for teachers.

  Before walking up to the office building, Irin carefully pushed forward while sensing with telekinesis.

  If every teacher had the terrifying strength of "Queen Yanluo", then this office building would be no different from Longtan Tiger's Den.

   But luckily, there was no one else.

   This is what Irin finds weird.

   But at this time, being so weird actually made it easier for Irin to do things.

  The stairwell seems to be afraid that the intruder will not find a place, so the floor plan of the office building is very thoughtfully posted.

  Irin quickly scanned the structure diagram.

   The style of the office building of Minghe Junior High School is similar to the teaching building.

   Following the structure diagram, Irin came to the top floor.

   Judging from the structural diagram, there are only two rooms on the huge top floor, which seem to be dedicated to the vice-principal, and the secretary’s office is next door.

  Irin did not meet anyone else along the way.

When    arrived in front of the vice-principal's door, Yi Rin was slightly startled.

   The door to the vice-principal's office was closed, and a note was posted on it.

  【The vice-principal is going out. If you are in a hurry, please take ten steps forward to find Secretary 'Rita'. 】

   Ah this?

   The vice-principal can't find something, so he has to go to the secretary?

  Irin's eyes narrowed.

   He quickly noticed that the note attached to the door did not appear to have been posted recently.

   A fine layer of dust is spread on the note.

  If you don’t look carefully, you might overlook the past at a glance.

  The note sticks to the door at will and can be easily torn off.

  Irin...tore too.

  No hesitation.

   After tearing off the note, the shape of the note left a dust-free print on the door. One can imagine how long this note has been pasted on the door.

   The note was held in his hand, and no "attributes" appeared.

   In other words, this is really just an ordinary post-it note.

   "It seems that even a route that looks like a trap is not so easy to complete?"

   Yi Rin folded the note into a ball and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. Following the note's prompt, he took a few steps forward to see what the secretary's office could gain.

  Irin wanted to use telekinesis to probe through the door.

   But just after releasing the telekinetic perception, Yi Rin's face changed slightly, but after a few seconds, Yi Rin smiled.

"bingo."

   I don't know if the wall and door panels of the vice-principal's office are made of special materials, or there are other reasons.

   Yi Rin tried Bailing's telekinetic perception, but he couldn't penetrate the past, and couldn't detect any information.

  The perception emanating from Irin was like a mud cow entering the sea, without causing any waves.

   "A place that can isolate spiritual detection? So, there must be something special inside."

   "Or is it some kind of special scene?"

   "No multiple choice questions appear, what does it mean?"

   "From the point of view of 'Multiple Choice', I will definitely find a way to get in without hesitation?"

   "Isn't it funny?"

  Irin thought about it, and took ten steps, and as it was depicted in the structure diagram, a secretary's office with a closed door appeared beside Irin.

   Just as Irin was about to approach the door.

   A lazy and charming voice came from behind the door, and laughed happily.

   "Who is it? Is that you? Giggle-"

  “…”

  【…】

   this voice.

   sounds a little out of the ordinary.

   But in this school, Irin felt no sense of disobedience.

  Irin didn't open the shadow, he pushed open the hidden door and walked in.

   The furnishings inside are very simple.

   A desk.

   A large wardrobe that goes to the ceiling.

  An old couch.

  I don't know what material the dark red floor is, it looks like slate, and it looks like other unknown materials. It matches the yellowish color of the four walls, giving Yi Rin a feeling of corruption and desolation.

   Yi Rin has no time to complain about the wonderful overall architectural style of this Styx Junior High School.

  I saw a mature woman wearing a short professional dress with mesh holes in her socks, reclining on the sofa in a lazy posture as if she had nothing to do.

  Irin quickly noticed that there were no documents on the desk at all, making people doubt the meaning of this secretary's existence.

   When Yilin quickly observed whether the surrounding environment was safe.

  Secretary Rita let out a small murmur, and suddenly sat up from the sofa, arranging her clothes calmly and buttoning an extra shirt.

  Secretary Rita stared at Yi Rin coldly. In just a few seconds, Secretary Rita's expression changed greatly, from lazy and shy to puzzled, with a little surprise in her eyes.

"Who are you?"

  Irin has not answered yet.

The    narration seemed to be more impatient and appeared instantly.

   And the speed of appearance is a little faster than usual.

  【Secretary Rita is the confidant of the vice principal. 】

  【When the principal is away, the vice principal has the final say. 】

  【If the vice-principal is not even here, then it is Secretary Rita who has the final say. 】

  【She noticed you, after all you didn't knock on the door. 】

   [She also noticed the class number on your school uniform, and remembered that 'five transfer students' seemed to be arranged in that class yesterday. 】

  【You suddenly regret your reckless actions. 】

  【Maybe, this is not the right choice. 】

  【After Secretary Rita raised a question, speak as fast as you can—】

【please choose. 】

  【A. Sorry! I'm in the wrong place! I'm sorry, I'm leaving right now. 】

  【B, I’m sorry, I thought this was a teaching building, but don’t be angry, I’ll leave right away. 】

  【C. Bold and evildoer, I can see at a glance that you are not human, but it doesn't matter, I will leave immediately. 】

When the    option appears.

  Irin narrowed his eyes slightly.

   These three options...what's the difference?

Didn't    persuade him to leave quickly?

  This option, which can be called "explicit", makes Yi Rin feel a little bit of warmth from somewhere, warms his heart...

   I'm so special to keep you warm!

   Is there only one option called multiple choice?

   These three options seem to be hints at first glance.

   reminds Irin that it will be very dangerous to stay here any longer.

   But if you think about it carefully, is even the narration a kind of confusion?

   Maybe here is the key?

   As long as you keep at it, maybe you can discover some kind of big secret?

   Or even an exit?

   Or use reverse thinking.

   An escape exit that looks like a trap is actually a trap?

so.

   It's pointless to go around like this and play psychological warfare with [Narrator].

  Everything is a choice.

   instead of options.

   Thinking of this, Irin ignored the content of the options.

   smiled at Secretary Rita: "I'm a new transfer student from the second class of the third year."

  Rita frowned and stood up from the sofa: "I'll ask again, who are you?"

  In an instant.

  Irin fell silent.

   He didn't know how to proceed.

   Ask again?

What's the meaning?

  Irin suddenly realized that, as the narration said, coming to the vice-principal's office this time was like accidentally touching a red button.

  The one that explodes in place once pressed.

   The narrator began to urge frantically.

  【You feel the atmosphere is not right. 】

  【Danger is approaching. 】

  【Trust me, it's not safe here. 】

  【You can't have an accident yet. 】

【You will-】

  【Choose quickly. 】

  【A. Leave immediately. 】

  【B. Leave immediately. 】

  【C, leave! 】

   "So...is that so?"

  Irin remembered the sarcoma on her back, and suddenly she realized.

  Most of the clues are strung together.

   It turned out that it was not just him, including Hanhan who had died, all the apostles in this trial had misunderstood one thing.

   A matter of life!

  Irin instantly removed the immature disguise of "student", her expression was calm, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she deliberately showed an inscrutable smile: "Guess?"

  Secretary Rita looked surprised.

   As if thinking of something deep inside.

  Irin wanted to tell her.

Say it.

   Say what you think of.

   Isn’t it uncomfortable to hold back in your heart?

   After ten seconds.

Secretary Rita looked at Yi Rin up and down, and suddenly used a tone of understanding: "Sure enough, the 'prison gate junior high school' sent you a few 'the latest test items', and it really didn't have any good intentions, really As expected of tricks and lies...XXXX..."

  Irin's expression froze.

Do not know why.

  Secretary Rita's second half sentence turned into strange syllables without any meaning in Yi Rin's ears.

   But those weird syllables with unknown meanings, when they came out of Secretary Rita's mouth, brought a lot of pressure to Yi Rin, as if something terrible would happen if he could understand those syllables.

What exactly does that mean?

   did not wait for Irin to ponder.

  Secretary Rita finished speaking, and her eyes suddenly flashed a green light that made Yi Rin feel a little familiar, full of greenery.

   "Hmph, tell your purpose, otherwise..."

In the blink of an eye, Secretary Rita's pretty face with a mature charm turned from fair to ruddy, from ruddy to livid, from livid to wax purple, changing again and again, very strange, with two pointed fangs. It slowly came out of Secretary Rita's mouth.

  Irin laughed.

   His eyes fell on Secretary Rita.

   "Let the world feel pain from now on!"

  “!”

   Three minutes later.

   The red and white radiance dissipated from Yi Rin.

  Because there was no one else around at the moment, Irin made this move.

   After all, although this move is powerful and has both offense and defense, if you show it to an acquaintance, you can't wash it out even if you jump into sulfuric acid... There's a big misunderstanding.

   The laughter of Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu still seemed to echo in the air.

   ahem…

on the ground.

   One more corpse that was chopped into one, two, thirty... seventeen pieces.

   Not long ago, she claimed to be the deputy principal's secretary.

   Even intends to force Irin to do something she doesn't like.

   So Irene could only refuse righteously, and tried a new skill by the way.

  Irin looked at the secretary's corpse expressionlessly, and shook his head: "This vice-principal has a little more taste."

   finished.

  Irin began to search the empty secretary's office.

  【Get chaos value +369! 】

   A single secretary Rita brought Irin more than 300 chaos points.

   If the confusion value of the average human value is about 40-50, then the secretary Rita in front of him is about the weight of 7 ordinary people.

  Although Irene has not yet clearly learned, the detailed definition of "tower" for chaos value.

   But in general, the higher the attribute, the higher the value of the chaos value, and this general trend will not be too different.

   When killing Secretary Rita, Yi Rin absorbed a layer of "Blood Will".

  【The fifth layer of blood will】(+3.2)

   The "people" in this trial are far higher than the soldiers in the Caribbean Sea in terms of attribute values.

   And Secretary Rita was not too difficult to chop, but the blood intent condensed from her life was as high as 3.2.

   In other words, the sum of her three attributes, strength, agility, and spirit, was as high as 15 or more.

   This is just an ordinary secretary.

   Maybe I can sit in this position, not relying on strength, it is very likely that I have pinpointed the taste of the vice-principal I have never met.

   "A small secretary's measurements are as high as 15 or more, then the whole school..."

   "Let's not talk about the number of students, the canteen aunt who is as strong as Su Ge, the campus guard, Queen Yanluo... How high will the attributes of these elite monsters be?"

   "Maybe there are all kinds of weird abilities..."

   "So this is the escape trial?"

   "Just figuring out how to escape from this school is hard enough to make you teeter on the edge of death."

  Yi Ringuang imagined this, and felt a slight tingling in the scalp.

to date.

   About the danger in Styx Junior High, maybe what Irin saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

  If someone accidentally triggers a certain condition and instantly demonizes all the students...the consequences are unimaginable.

   "Looks like, we have to figure out a way to escape from here quickly, and if we delay, maybe the difficulty will get higher and higher."

   "At present, the BUFF lasts only three days."

   "But in fact, the task time limit is very clear...until you die."

   "It is very likely that the real meaning of this time limit is not that we have at least three days, but that the difficulty may become higher and higher as time goes on."

  In the depths of Irin's heart, various thoughts turned around.

   Prison Gate Junior High School?

  Although Irene just started, Secretary Rita didn't give much information.

   Even the last half of the sentence was inexplicably blocked.

   But the words "prison gate junior high school" made Irin vaguely understand the general structure of this trial world.

   There is more than one school like Styx Junior High School.

  The legendary campus battle?

   at this moment.

  The house is already a mess.

  The sofa, desk, and wardrobe are covered with sharp knife marks. At first glance, it looks like the traces left after being ravaged by a rain of swords and lightsabers.

  Irin is very satisfied with the new ability.

   In the vice-principal's office and the secretary's office, the wall materials seem to be specially made.

  Irin's psychic perception cannot penetrate the past.

   After receiving the chaos value prompt, Yi Rin can be sure that Secretary Rita is too dead to die, and there is no possibility of jumping up and cheating.

   So Irin also hurry up and search the secretary's office with peace of mind.

   After a few minutes.

  Irin found nothing.

   Originally, the furnishings in this office were also very simple. Except for some weird **** props that Yi Rin found in Secretary Rita's drawer, there were no other special discoveries.

   "Huh? Wait."

  Irin was a little unwilling.

   And right now.

   After he constructed the room and compared the floor plan of the stairwell, he found that the actual size of the room was much smaller than the construction plan.

   "Huh? Another secret room? So uncreative?"

  Irin quickly figured out the reason, and couldn't help but groaned.
