Infinity Throne

Ten minutes ago.

canteen.

Yi Lin looked at the unspeakable dark dish in front of her and remained silent.

He suddenly regretted it and said loudly in the cafeteria the option "Auntie, I want them all!"

But afterwards, from the satisfied and appreciative smile on the face of the canteen aunt, we can infer that this "I want it all" should be the option that is least likely to trigger a minefield.

But this full plate...how to organize it?

Yi Lin held the fork in his hand, with a calm expression, and looked at one of the stuffed eyeballs, which was the size of a fist.

It doesn't look like a human eyeball, but it's hard to tell what kind of creature it is.

Yi Lin slowly raised the fork and plunged it in with a swish.

PIA Zhi——

Gravy splashes.

Yi Lin's mental strength is not weak.

Acupuncture is also very accurate.

By the same token, Yi Lin is also very accurate when inserting a fork.

This time, it happened to be inserted right in the center of the unknown monster's eyeball. It was stuffed with so-called tendon meat using unknown cooking techniques. The moment the meat juice splashed, Yi Lin seemed to feel that the eyeball was gazing at him with resentment. Hold yourself.

Yi Lin used a fork to stir the eyeballs for a while.

As an apostle, he has the consciousness to find ways to survive in any harsh environment.

But it was clear that he was not running out of food and ammunition. Although he ordered a "Grand Slam" set meal, this plate of dark food that looked delicious was indeed unpalatable.

what to do?

Yi Lin thought silently.

Finding this situation is quite a dilemma.

While he was thinking, he dug a hole in his huge eyeball.

With the other hand, he scooped out a spoonful of bone marrow paste from the edge of the plate, then forcefully stuffed the spoonful of bone marrow paste into the eyeball, and began to press three times on the left and three on the right.

Today’s recipe is very weird.

In addition to the eyeballs and bone marrow puree, there is also an unknown fried meat that looks like two pieces of meat on the plate.

This kind of fried meat seems to be the most normal.

But knowing that it is a plate of "dark cuisine", the more normal the food, the more abnormal it is.

"At this time, there are no multiple-choice questions."

"In other words, even if I just drop this thing and ignore it, I won't be bound by the multiple-choice questions."

"But, is it really that simple?"

"Every choice you make will determine your next fate...?"

Yi Lin once again chewed on this reminder that he felt was very important.

"Are only the options in multiple-choice questions considered choices, or...?"

Just as Yi Lin was ravaging the plate of food.

A cute-looking girl in a short skirt, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a cute expression, moved little by little to the opposite side of Yi Lin.

In fact, Yi Lin had already noticed that when he was stirring the dark food, there were many strange eyes on his back.

That's why Yi Lin didn't dare to act rashly.

Even if you pretend to have an upset stomach, or stay up until the afternoon class, or pretend to "suffer from a difficult disease that makes you fall asleep when you see food", it is better than abandoning the plate in front of everyone. The food is much better.

This is the inference Yi Lin drew.

Because in those eyes, Yi Lin could faintly detect a kind of... desire.

Yi Lin couldn't tell for a while whether the reason for those longing eyes was the meal in front of her or...him.

The short-haired girl sat down eagerly.

Gudong.

The girl actually swallowed a mouthful of saliva, so loudly that it even reverberated in her throat.

Yi Lin's face was expressionless.

Pia Zi.

Yi Lin inserted another eyeball and slowly shook it in front of her a few times.

The girl's eyes followed the movement of the eyeball on Yi Lin's fork, moving up and down, left and right, her eyelids unblinking.

Yi Lin was silent for a moment. He suddenly remembered something and looked back.

When she arrived directly at the meal window, Yi Lin did not have enough freedom because she was in the forced pathfinding mode of multiple-choice questions.

So he didn't pay attention.

The expression on the short-haired girl sitting opposite him at this moment reminded him of something.

It was obviously the same canteen and the same kind of food, so why did other people show desire for the dark food on his plate?

Unless... the cuisine is different.

When Yi Lin looked back.

I found that the mottled wall above each meal window was painted with a red paint, and each had a line of weird fonts written on it.

Yi Lin squinted her eyes and stared, but at this moment, the translator from the tower arrived belatedly.

[First grade, Classes 1 to 3. 】

[First grade, Classes 4 to 6. 】

[Grade 2, Classes 1 to 3. 】

…

About every three classes were assigned to the same place to get food.

Every student who enters the cafeteria has no choice after stepping into the door and goes straight to his or her own window.

What makes Yi Lin find it strange is that the other windows are all in groups of three classes.

But only at the place where he made his meal, the line of weird fonts translated showed that there was only one class.

——[Class 2, Grade 3].

I see.

Sure enough, is this class special?

So the five apostles were assigned to the same class?

The short-haired girl sat across from Yi Lin.

Looking longingly into his greedy eyes.

Getting closer.

Getting closer and closer.

Those delicate red lips were slightly opened, as if they wanted to accommodate something.

And just when Yi Lin was thinking about the next step with an expressionless face.

It seems that he is afraid that Yi Lin will be lonely, and he also seems to be afraid that Yi Lin will do something he shouldn't do.

Narrator, here we come.

[Saya, from Class 2, Class 5, noticed you. 】

[To show her sincerity, Shaye's favorability towards you has been increased by 5 points. 】

[She looked at the food on your plate longingly, drooling with envy. 】

[That longing look in her eyes, as if she would agree to it without hesitation no matter what request you make at this moment. 】

[No matter how excessive this request is. 】

[She even opened her mouth and got ready. 】

[You feel compassion. 】

[However, the food on the plate is also a temptation for you. 】

[Because, you need food. 】

【Requires a lot of food. 】

[You need food very much. 】

Yi Lin: "Three times?"

[But Saya’s desire also makes you unbearable. 】

[You hesitated for a moment. 】

【You decide--】

【please choose. 】

[A. Ignore Saya's desire, swallow the food on the fork in one gulp, and deliberately chew loudly, so that Saya can clearly see the food disappearing in your mouth. 】

Choices begin to emerge.

Emerge item by item.

But just when the first option appeared, the second option was about to emerge.

However, Yi Lin instantly burst out with astonishing hand speed, and before [Option B] appeared, he directly stuffed the bloody eyeball on the fork into Saya's mouth.

"Uuuuuu——"

The moment Saya's mouth was filled, because everything happened too suddenly and unprepared, her eyes suddenly widened and her delicate body trembled on the spot.

But the next second, she closed her eyes with satisfaction, and did not blame Yi Lin for his sudden move. Instead, she stuck out her tongue, opened her mouth wide, and chewed the "delicious food" vigorously.

Crack, click, click, click—

"I see."

【……】

Yi Lin suddenly smiled.

This is... choice.

After Yi Lin took action faster than the options, the options in front of her were completely blocked.

The following [B] and [C] did not appear again.

Yi Lin suddenly seemed to understand the essence of this trial.

No rules are the biggest rules.

"No wonder the prompt says, 'Everything,' is a choice."

“The ‘everything’ mentioned here is not limited to ‘options’.”

"Even the 'options' are just a kind of confusion, making people mistakenly think that they can only act according to the content set on the 'options'."

"So to a certain extent, except for some 'forced action options,' those multiple-choice questions are completely meaningless."

“The emphasis is not on ‘options’ at all, but on ‘choices’.”

"I wonder if other people have discovered this? Haha. If someone is really smart and follows the normal multiple-choice question routine and thinks that there must be a so-called 'correct answer' among the three options, they will probably be deceived very badly, right? "

Through this small incident, Yi Lin inadvertently revealed part of the truth about this trial.

The narration was completely stuck and there were no more prompts.

In the blink of an eye, Saya had finished eating her eyeballs. Because she looked so embarrassed when eating, meat juice overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

She hesitated for a moment, not knowing what she was worried about, and looked at Yi Lin again with a longing look that seemed to say "I want more".

Yi Lin found it a little funny.

The students around seemed to be...envious of Saya's experience.

There were even more girls approaching Yi Lin without leaving any trace.

Yi Lin didn't pay any more attention.

After Saya finished eating the dark food, a reminder appeared in front of Yi Lin's eyes.

[Because of your generous giving, Saya's favorability towards you is +5. 】

"anything else?"

Saya's eyes lit up and her little head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Yi Lin stuffed another spoonful of bone marrow puree into Shaye's mouth.

[Because you gave generously again, Saya's favorability towards you will be +5. 】

continue.

[No reason is needed, Saya’s favorability towards you will be +5. 】

Come again.

[As you give more and more, Saya’s favorability towards you will increase by 8. 】

[You are still continuing, Saya’s favorability towards you is +7. 】

[Saya's defense begins to collapse, and Saya's favorability towards you will increase by 5. 】

[Shaye has a crush on you. 】

[You have given tirelessly again, and Saya’s favorability towards you will be +5. 】

【……】

Yilin frantically used a plate of simple food to increase Saya's favorability.

[Saya has a secret admiration for you. 】

Keep brushing.

[Saya knows everything about you. 】

Yi Lin: "..."

When Yi Lin stuffed the last spoonful of bone marrow puree on the plate into Saya's mouth, Saya's favorability level had reached the level of "knowing everything".

Although Yi Lin is not sure what follows from this so-called favorability rating, but literally speaking, "telling everything you know" should be regarded as a very ideal source of information?

He quickly used Saya to eliminate the dark food in front of him. Although the other students around him were unhappy, the food had been emptied and they had no choice but to leave.

But the way everyone looked at Yi Lin was a little weird.

Yi Lin reacted quickly.

"This kind of feeding behavior is 'abnormal' to other people? But it shouldn't be enough to cause an instant collapse because of this."

After all, as a new transfer student, isn't it natural to flirt with girls in the cafeteria?

Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Yi Lin felt at ease.

Saya stretched out her scarlet tongue and licked the delicious sauce from her lips. Her reluctant expression, as if "I still want it", made the corners of Yilin's mouth twitch slightly.

"Then there's going to be a pleasant cross-examination... er no, asking time."

Just when Yilin was about to reveal some information after brushing up on Shaye's favorability.

A horrifying reminder suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

To be precise, all the surviving apostles in this trial received this dazzling reminder at the same time.

[Apostle 1315, death! 】

This is...a death broadcast!

Among the five people, someone actually turned into a box at the speed of light.

It has only been a few hours since the trial.

Who is the dead person?

Death broadcasting does not appear in every trial.

It seems that it all depends on the mood of "Tower".

The premise is that it has the concept of mood.

When the news of the death of a certain apostle came, there were only four surviving apostles left in Styx Junior High School, and there were waves in their hearts.

Who died?

How did you die?

Where did he die?

Even among the four, there was someone who secretly regretted the relics in the box.

In short, the mentality is different and complicated and difficult to understand.

Yi Lin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Shaye who seemed to be praying for food. Yi Lin smiled and said, "I am Lin Lin from Class 2, Grade 3."

"Class 2, Class 5, Saya~"

Saya introduced herself to her home, her eyes flickering and looking very seductive.

Originally, Yi Lin planned to take advantage of the opportunity to build up her favorability and use some skills to get information about Styx Junior High School.

There are a few other things he cares about.

But since someone is dead, this matter can only be postponed for a while.

After all, the most important thing now is to find out where the body is and how the deceased died as quickly as possible.

That is life-threatening information.

I believe that others will move towards the place where the body is as quickly as possible.

If you rush to ask Saya a question in the cafeteria, it is very likely that you will continue to trigger [multiple-choice questions]. If you treat it with caution, it will undoubtedly delay a lot of time.

Thinking of this and Shaye's line, Yi Lin briefly introduced herself, left a foreshadowing, and left happily.

After Yi Lin left.

Shaye opened her eyes and looked at Yi Lin's retreating back. She slowly stuck out her tongue and licked her shy and bloody lips, with endless aftertaste.

On the way.

Yi Lin opened the apostle panel and took a look.

Mai Oda’s name is still on, which means that the deceased was not Mai Oda.

After excluding Mai Oda, the remaining possibilities... wait.

Yi Lin's eyes narrowed.

Except for him, everyone else is in groups of two.

Go to [Rooftop] and [Gate] respectively.

If the death FLAG is really triggered, why is there only one deceased person?

Or was it a conspiracy among the apostles?

Before seeing the body, it was difficult for Yi Lin to make more detailed inferences.

Think of this.

While walking on the road, Yi Lin opened the communication panel and sent a message to Oda Mai.

…

Yi Lin: Where are you?

Oda Mai: Classroom.

Yi Lin:?

Oda Mai: Classroom.

Yi Lin: What the hell... what I want to ask is, why are you in the classroom? Didn't you go to the rooftop with Hanhan?

Oda Mai:?

Yi Lin: Hanhan...this damn input method.

Oda Mai: I’m leaving first.

Yi Lin: Why?

Oda Mai: I'm afraid I can't help but kill him.

Yi Lin:…….

A few minutes later.

Oda Mai:?

Yi Lin: Nothing, I just want to ask a question now. Isn't that your choice chosen randomly?

Oda Mai: Well, I don’t understand, so just choose C.

Yi Lin: Awesome.

…

The call ended in silence.

Yi Lin was speechless.

But the final reply really came from the heart.

Yi Lin suddenly remembered the heroic figure of Mai Oda wearing red sleeves without any logic in the Ghostly Mist Mountain. Could this girl have always been like this?

Yi Lin originally wanted to kindly remind Oda Mai about the "choice" information in this trial.

But as soon as her fingers moved, Yi Lin hesitated.

Not because of reluctance.

Instead, he suddenly had an idea. If he followed the so-called "everything is optional" in the prompt, then Oda Mai's method of "using the knife if he disagrees, choosing C if he doesn't understand" could also be considered An option?

Maybe this is also a way to clear the level?

If you think about it carefully, it might be very possible.

Even in an escape trial, there is never more than one way to survive.

Not every life path is suitable for everyone.

Since Mai Oda can survive till now, there must be a reason and way of survival for her.

Yi Lin couldn't help but smile. In the trial, everyone was focused on themselves, so why should he worry about others?

then.

Yi Lin closed the communication panel completely and stopped thinking about it.

A few minutes later.

Yi Lin left the cafeteria and arrived at the playground.

During lunch break, many students disappeared.

But in a corner of the playground, close to the teaching building, there was a circle of students.

Yi Lin didn't hesitate and walked quickly.

And just when Yi Lin was about to approach the crowd, she chose to come again.

[You leave the cafeteria after eating and drinking. 】

[I was doing nothing, and after preparing to find a place to spend the rest of the time, I returned to the classroom for class. 】

[And at this moment, you discovered that something seemed to have happened in the corner of the playground. 】

【You decide--】

before the option appears.

Yi Lin's expression changed slightly, and she changed from brisk walking to sprinting, and rushed over at a sprint speed of 100 meters.

[You made your decision quickly, without any hesitation. 】

[You decided to watch the fun, regardless of the consequences. 】

"Oh? It turns out that the choice can also be skipped?"

Yi Lin looked at the prompts and felt happy.

A new operation was discovered.

It seems that the so-called [narration] of this trial seems to hide a lot of pitfalls in it.

wrong.

Yi Lin suddenly woke up.

This...is also a choice!

Listening to the narration is a choice, and ignoring the narration... is also a choice!

Could it still be like this?

I go.

Yilin complained secretly deep in her heart, and in a blink of an eye she was at the outskirts of the crowd.

The faces of the students are pimple-free and youthful, regardless of gender.

All in all, they look pretty good.

When Yi Lin arrived at the outside of the crowd, there were already comments.

"do you died?"

"How pitiful."

"Can I eat it?"

"Are you stupid? The school rules clearly state that we can only eat food from the cafeteria. Anyone who dares to violate the school rules will be imprisoned!"

"Confinement... forget it then."

"Well, that's a shame."

The painting style suddenly became weird.

Yi Lin's face changed slightly, but in the crowd, she still said softly in a regretful tone and in a medium voice: "Well, it's a shame that I can't eat it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding students all looked at Yi Lin with "the hero sees the same thing" look.

After blending into the crowd without any sense of disobedience, Yi Lin squeezed in and finally saw the true appearance of the corpse.

In the center of the crowd, I saw a pile of smashed pieces of meat. The body was broken into pieces on the spot. The state of death... was very miserable.

After Yi Lin observed two seconds of silence, she identified the deceased as quickly as possible.

Another second passed.

Yi Lin came to a conclusion instantly.

Hanhan is dead. Uh no, it was Han Han who died.

After all, it is still easy to distinguish between male and female school uniforms, with or without skirts.

Although in this strange Styx Junior High School, the possibility of a cross-dressing boss cannot be ruled out, but if it is an apostle, the configuration of two boys and three girls can be seen from the blood-stained men's uniform on the piece of flesh. , the deceased was a male.

"Huh? Where's your head? Is it broken?"

Yi Lin looked around expressionlessly, but did not find Han Han's head around the body.

"Hanhan went to the rooftop...from this height..."

Yi Lin raised his head and made a rough estimate. If he lost his footing and fell from this height, the hard skull would not be broken into indistinguishable slag.

After all, although the bones in other parts of Han Han were twisted and broken, the basic structure of the bones was still there. If even the bones were smashed to pieces, it was theoretically impossible at such a height.

Then here comes the problem.

Where did Hanhan’s head go?

Hanhan's cause of death... slipped and fell?

Or is it……?

Because Oda Wu left early for fear of being unable to resist hacking Han Han to death, no one except himself could know what happened before Han Han died.

No one knows what outrageous and heart-rending choice Han Han made to trigger his death FLag in such a short opening period and die tragically here.

A wordless terror quietly filled the air.

This is a second-level trial.

After all, Han Han is a veteran who has survived many brutal trials.

But in this seemingly peaceful but actually weird Styx Junior High School, he died tragically in this way at the beginning of this escape trial. It is conceivable that this trial is far more dangerous than everyone imagined.

It's like death is right next to you.

Once you make the wrong choice, it will instantly turn into a box.

"choose."

Yi Lin once again put these two words on her lips and chewed them carefully.

"Get out of the way, everyone, leave."

A few minutes later.

A team of professionals covered in isolation suits arrived at the scene.

On their clothes were written the words "Styx Junior High School Medical Team".

They opened the isolation cord as quickly as possible, then evacuated all the students, including Yi Lin, and began to clean up the scene.

The medical team packed Han Han's fragmented body in a blood-red bag and took it away. They took out a water gun from nowhere and quickly cleaned the floor and washed away the sticky blood stains on the floor.

hiss.

Yi Lin even witnessed a piece of Han Han's intestines that was stubbornly stuck to the floor being washed away by the water and thrown directly into the trash can.

Just as Yi Lin was watching Han Han's body being disposed of from a distance, like a crowd of people eating melons, someone approached.

Yi Lin didn't need to look back to guess who would be approaching at this time.

"My deskmate, I think we need to talk."

Tiantian timidly pulled Yi Lin's sleeve, and then looked straight at herself with a helpless look.

Yi Lin didn't say much.

"good."

Twenty minutes later.

Tiantian, Liu Liu, and Yi Lin arrived on the rooftop.

According to Tiantian, she originally wanted to find Mai Oda, but she couldn't find her outside, so she had to give up.

Yi Lin did know that Oda Mai should be in a daze in the classroom of Grade 3 Grade 2 at this time, but in order to avoid exposing the fact that he knew Oda Mai, and at the same time to avoid triggering certain things after returning to the Grade 2 classroom of Grade 3 Yi Lin could only remain silent about the cheating [multiple-choice question].

The moment the three of them opened the iron door of the rooftop, they all heightened their vigilance and quickly searched the area in their own way.

Just as Yi Lin quietly released her telekinesis, her brows furrowed involuntarily, thoughtfully.

In just one minute, the two girls quickly searched the empty rooftop.

Tiantian said: "There is no one else here."

Liu Liu squatted down by the fence, her eyes slightly focused: "I found a little blood here."

When Yi Lin and Tiantian heard this, they quickly ran over.

Liu Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you so anxious? I won't lick the blood off."

Liu Liu's description is very appropriate.

There was really just "a little" blood.

Blood stains as thick as fingertips seemed to have dripped there accidentally, and then splattered in the shape of thorns.

The blood has not yet dried.

Even a little moist.

Yi Lin stood behind the two girls and thought about it for a moment, then said with a smile: "Maybe if I come later, I will really get licked clean."

Liu Liu: "?"

Tiantian: "?"
