Infinity Throne

Countless blood streaks formed by Blood Jasmine were about to poke into the fleshy tumor on Oda Mai's back.

Oda Mai's whole body suddenly tensed up.

His right hand pulled out to his waist involuntarily.

...draw the sword.

Narrations poured out crazily in front of her eyes.

【Go quickly! 】

【You can't trust him. 】

【He cheated on you. 】

【You will die here. 】

[The 'key' behind your back will be your only hope for survival. 】

[You make your choice instantly. 】

[A. Let’s go! 】

[B. Leave immediately! 】

[C. There is a mole, stop this operation! 】

Oda Mai: "..."

Yi Lin noticed Oda Mai's involuntary movements, and he roughly guessed Oda Mai's current situation.

His eyes flashed and he said, "Trust me."

"good."

Oda Mai didn't talk nonsense, she pressed her hand tightly.

But at this moment, she actually felt like her body was out of control. She obviously didn't have this idea, but her right hand still involuntarily pulled out the knife at her waist.

But who is Mai Oda?

She is a ruthless person who can kill people without even recognizing them.

Oda Mai slapped her other hand fiercely and held her right hand tightly. The right hand that was ready to move trembled slightly under Oda Mai's pressure.

"Haha, are you starting to be unable to bear it now?"

Yi Lin began to feel happy, with a stern smile on her face. The bloodshot claws instantly followed the shape of the tumor and pierced Oda Mai's back.

Oda Mai groaned, but did not make a sound.

Zhizhizhi——

After Yi Lin took action, the sarcoma on Oda Mai's back suddenly looked like a rat thrown into a frying pan. The sarcoma shrank and shrank, and countless pseudopods were like roots digging into Oda Mai's flesh and blood, refusing to let go easily. Leave.

Yi Lin has no intention of pitying her now. Besides, for such a fierce female man, why does Yi Lin need to be sentimental and pity her?

Bo!

Yi Lin was merciless, and in an instant, the tumor was pulled out from Oda Mai's back like a cupping cup.

At the moment when the sarcoma was pulled out, the sarcoma was strung on the blood thread, struggling endlessly, and stretched out a series of pseudopods, rushing towards Oda Mai's bloody back, as if it was still trying to return to its original position.

Hissssss——

With a thought in Yi Lin's mind, the bloodshot strangulation was activated, and in the blink of an eye, the piece of fleshy tumor pulled out from Oda Mai's back was strangled into stinky minced meat that could never be put back together again.

Sarcoma...complete silence.

Behind Oda Wu, even the spine was exposed. The white bones, gushing blood, fresh meat, and snow-white shoulders formed a miserable scene in front of Yi Lin.

During the whole process, except for holding her right hand tightly, Oda Mai's body did not move at all.

But judging from her slightly trembling shoulders, Oda Mai also suffered tremendous pain when Yi Lin pulled out the sarcoma.

Yi Lin understands this very well.

If she can keep herself from shouting, Mai Oda deserves to be called a "female man".

Behind Oda Mai, blood spurted out.

Boo hoo hoo.

The moment the tumor was pulled out, Oda Mai's right hand stopped all movement and was under her control again.

In her panel, the health value is continuously decreasing with the rapid flow of blood.

Apparently, she was in a negative state of "blood loss."

Yi Lin raised his eyebrows and silently gave Oda Mai a thumbs up. Then he put away the knife and crushed the card he had prepared. An oversized cross-shaped band-aid appeared in Yi Lin's hand.

This is exactly the prop that Oda Mai prepared in advance not long ago.

…

【Extra large band-aid】

[Grade] Rare

【Effect】Completely stop bleeding. Duration: 24 hours.

[Instructions] Click to view details.

…

Snapped.

Yi Lin moved quickly and skillfully, tearing open the small wings, and directly slapped the big aunt's bandage... er, no, the oversized band-aid on Oda Mai's back.

moment.

The surging blood stopped abruptly.

There really wasn't a trace of leakage on the surface.

The props produced in the tower must be of high quality.

Although it looks a bit weird, Oda Mai is obviously very satisfied with this effect.

After completely eliminating the last hidden danger behind the two of them, Yi Lin looked into the distance and looked at the group of demons moving in the darkness.

The demons were already going crazy, with green light surging in the distance, eating the corpses around them, but it seemed that they hadn't noticed anything strange here for a while.

Because Yi Lin and Oda Mai rushed all the way here, they left a lot of "food" on the deck, which was able to attract the attention of the demons.

The narrator has already mentioned "that one" before.

[Food is very important to you. 】

Yi Lin quickly turned around, giving Oda time to tidy up after the dance.

Three minutes later.

After the two finished their work, they quickly changed their clothes.

In the dark night, the skeleton gentleman's kryptonite-looking suit made Yi Lin feel more at ease.

By the way, he was equipped with the brand new equipment that he had obtained from the bag not long ago.

——[The Phantom Thief’s Magic Cloak].

Paired with a black tuxedo, there is no sense of inconsistency, as if it was originally a set.

Calm, elegant and charming.

The effect of the magic cloak might deceive the opponent's attack at a critical moment and give Yi Lin a chance to counterattack.

What's more, Yi Lin has the ability to follow him everywhere, and this equipment seems to be tailor-made for him.

It is very likely that there are not many props left in Liu Ruyan's storage space. Otherwise, with Yi Lin's luck, it would generally be difficult to extract such things.

really.

Killing people, stealing goods, and licking the bags is far more reliable than expecting random rewards at settlement.

But Yi Lin soon put this terrible thought out of her mind.

The two of them were dressed up and ready to go.

Oda Mai's expression was slightly pale, but she had no strange expression. She was still sitting there, as if waiting for Yi Lin's decision.

After all, she didn't know who to kill next.

In the dark night.

Yi Lin, who has changed her appearance, seems to be a different person.

There was an evil aura all over his body.

Yi Lin smiled: "You should understand now, right?"

Oda Mai shook her head: "I don't understand."

Yi Lin's smile suddenly froze, and she could only explain helplessly: "From the beginning, including the dead Han Han, Liu Ruyan, and Cao Tiantian, they all misunderstood one thing."

"The narration or multiple-choice questions that frequently appear in front of us are actually not official tips from the 'Tower' at all, but...in this school, there is a mastermind hidden behind the scenes. Through the sarcoma behind , sending those narrations and multiple-choice questions into our brains.”

"Perhaps that being doesn't know the existence of the 'Tower', or our brains actively simulate this hint into the Tower's prompt. In short, no matter what, the purpose of the narration is finally achieved. It succeeded. Fooled us."

"As time goes by, that sarcoma will completely take over the body and become that person's 'puppet' so that 'it' can successfully achieve a certain purpose."

This... is the biggest trap of narration and multiple-choice questions!

Even Yi Lin thought so at first.

After all, those multiple-choice questions were too weird.

But now I think about it.

Those multiple-choice questions... no matter whether you choose them or not, they can't really make critical changes to the plot.

Everything was caused by the actions of the apostles.

Even if it was a multiple-choice question about "forced action", Yi Lin estimated that it was the sarcoma that forced the body to take various actions by connecting to the nerves.

The process of choosing "options" is actually equivalent to handing over the "control" of the body to the sarcoma, or to the "black hand" behind the sarcoma.

Just like a hypnosis master, when hypnotizing a target, he will try his best to make the target relax his vigilance and put down all mental defenses as much as possible.

Otherwise, the hypnotized subject will close his eyes and cover his ears, saying "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen." Unless the hypnotist has extraordinary power, he will not be able to do it.

[Option] allowed the apostle to relax his vigilance and surrender control of his body, so his actions were controlled by the sarcoma.

This is why, in a certain multiple-choice question of "forced action", Yilin desperately thought about "DDDD" and quickly got rid of the secret control of sarcoma.

And in the end, Cao Tiantian and Liu Ruyan seemed to believe too much in the tips given by the [narrator], and ended up in boxes, which is regrettable.

That black hand...haha.

Yi Lin was still a little angry when she thought about it.

When Liu Ruyan finally chanted the spell in the teleportation array, Yi Lin's [Disaster-ridden] clearly confused Liu Ruyan's face, and Liu Ruyan's ruined expression could also prove this.

But Liu Ruyan finished chanting the spell even when it was broken.

obviously.

The mastermind behind the scenes controlled Liu Ruyan's body through the sarcoma, forcing Liu Ruyan to finish the spell and then activated the teleportation array.

But--

All this, why?

What Yi Lin still can't figure out is the true purpose of the "mastermind".

Ever since they arrived at Styx Junior High School, the "multiple choice question" has been leading the five of them to a certain ending through various options, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Everything is under the control of the "mastermind".

Except... Yi Lin and Oda Mai pulled out the sarcoma.

After the sarcoma was extracted, narration and multiple-choice questions would no longer appear before their eyes.

So next, what will the mastermind do?

Will it bubble?

Will it be online?

Will there be a showdown?

While Yi Lin was angry, she was also looking forward to it.

This trial was more dangerous than imagined, but all this made Yi Lin curious about what the truth behind it was.

At the beginning, Yi Lin did not want to dig too much into the plot, but this trial was still driven by a certain black hand and evolved into what it is today.

"There are still some things I haven't figured out...but it should be almost done."

If this is a ridiculous layout, then after Yi Lin overturns the chessboard, the "black hand" who worked hard to play chess will definitely make the next move.

It was like, Yi Lin flipped over the chessboard with a snap.

Then he smiled at a certain chess player hiding in the dark and said, "It's your turn."

Oda Mai seemed to understand Yi Lin's words.

But that's okay.

"So, who to kill?"

Mai Oda asked.

After all kinds of twists and turns, Yi Lin did not explain it to Oda Mai in too much detail.

Moreover, explaining it is of no use.

Yi Lin originally wanted to touch his nose or chin in a pretentious manner, but he suddenly remembered that this action seemed to be very disgusting, so he moved his fingers slightly and gave up the plan. He didn't answer, but asked: "I think you have an idea."

Oda Mai looked calm and held the knife: "Well, I think it would be good to kill all the monsters."

Yi Lin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, at this time, your simple and crude method is the only way."

Oda Mai: "?"

"Because I don't know where the other way out is."

"..."

"But actually, as I said just now, I was reminded of something." Yi Lin smiled slightly: "This teleportation array is one-time use, and in order to prevent reverse tracking, the vice-principal has a very short duration of the teleportation array. It’s gone… Let’s not mention this for now, if this road is the only way to survive…”

"Then it stands to reason that at the moment when this teleportation array fails, our main mission should be judged to have failed."

"And the mission time limit...is until death. In other words, there is no time limit at all."

"Since the mission has not failed and there is no time limit, what are we anxious about?"

"Maybe after a while, another way out will come up?"

"Or..." Yi Lin's smile grew wider: "Kill all the demons, or completely blow up the Styx Junior High School. If this 'demon factory' no longer exists, does it mean we have successfully escaped?" ?”

When Oda Mai heard this, her eyes lit up.

That makes sense!

This sincere statement instantly made Oda Mai feel that Yi Rin was many times more pleasing to the eye.

"Then, the happy moment of spawning monsters... has arrived."

After the two got dressed, the demons were about to swarm forward.

Oda Wu raised his sword and killed him.

Although it seemed that Mai Oda was chopping monsters like vegetables, Yi Lin noticed that Mai Oda's action of drawing the sword was a little stiffer.

The band-aid can only stop the bleeding, but cannot completely cure Oda Mai's injury.

In comparison, the strengthening of the "Dionysus Factor" that Yilin obtained in Gotham City can be called a blessing, and it is wonderful.

But at this moment.

Yi Lin was equally tired.

He is not a robot and cannot continue to fight endlessly.

"This maze can last for a long time. I remember most of the roads in it. Now this is our home court."

Yi Lin said quickly: "As long as we don't run into those little bosses, everything will be easy. Let's find a place to sleep first."

Oda Mai cut off a demon with a click and looked back.

"…, I mean, take a break."

Oda Mai fought out again.

Neither of them were in the best condition at this moment, Yi Lin's spiritual energy was about to be exhausted, and Oda Mai was seriously injured. The first priority is to find a safe room and repair it.

Fortunately, Yi Lin's memory is now extraordinary. Even if he does not rely on Blood Jasmine's attribute bonus, his initial mental attributes are about to break through the first layer of "lock", and his head is spinning.

Following the "map navigation" in their minds, Yi Lin and Oda Mai chose a remote cabin and got in.

Nowadays, in the entire maze, there are a lot of corpses and blood stains in almost every corridor, most of which are very fresh. The demons have no way to find the two of them by following the smell of blood.

finally.

Close the door.

After Yi Lin confirmed that there was no danger, she leaned against the wall and sat down.

Oda Mai didn't talk nonsense and sat opposite Yi Lin, panting slightly, but holding the knife in her hand and never leaving.

In the darkness, the two of them rested separately, falling into an awkward silence.

"When did you learn my moves?"

There was silence for nearly ten minutes.

Oda Mai suddenly raised her head, and two sharp eyes fell on Yi Lin, hissing as if they had turned into actual sharp blades.

"Well……"

Yi Lin was stunned when he heard this.

I didn't expect that she would see it.

"Looking at it... I accidentally learned a little bit about your force-generating skills." Yi Lin felt guilty and made a "little bit" gesture with her index finger and thumb.

After a while, Yi Lin hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute, your family...doesn't there be any broken rules such as passing down family moves to girls but not boys, or hunting down people to the ends of the earth if they find someone stealing the skills?"

Oda Mai: "..., no."

"That's good."

Yi Lin felt relieved.

You can feel free to continue learning secretly.

Although Yi Lin is not a pure ancient warrior, after so many years of radio gymnastics-style physical strengthening techniques and the influence of Longyoubu, he is more or less a bit showy.

In addition, Yilin's memory and analysis abilities have been strengthened in the "Partial Activation Super Memory" state. Under the shroud of telekinetic perception, he has almost surpassed Mai Oda's skill in drawing and swinging the sword. The breathing rhythm, even the contraction frequency of the muscles and the angle of the knife are all memorized.

Although it is difficult for Yi Lin to completely copy Oda Mai's sword skills, after learning a little bit about it and killing monsters, his efficiency has been significantly improved.

Everyone's path is different. Yi Lin is not a melee evolution path. She can learn superficial skills just to save spiritual energy points.

When facing a really tough enemy, Yi Lin had no intention of relying on this superficial knowledge to show off her presence in front of the BOSS.

——That’s courting death.

Oda Mai replied.

Then fell silent.

No more talking.

It seems like she doesn't mind Yi Rin secretly learning some of her moves.

She could indeed tell that there was a bit of her in Yi Lin's movements.

After breaking the silence.

Anyway, with nothing to do, Yi Lin also started chatting with Oda Mai in a low voice.

"By the way, who taught you how to handle trials like this? The fact that you have survived until now is simply... awesome."

"My teacher."

"apostle?"

"No." Oda Mai was silent for a moment, shook her head slightly in the darkness, and denied this possibility: "Probably not."

"Pity."

The two were silent for another moment.

Yi Lin thought the conversation ended in such a weird way.

Oda Mai suddenly said something again.

"The teacher told me that if you hesitate, you will lose."

"He also said that the sword that does not hesitate can cut everything."

Although this seems a bit fantasy.

But the superficial meaning is still very clear.

To sum it up, it’s probably——

Hesitation will lead to defeat, decisiveness will be in vain.

The two times she met Mai Oda during trials, she always used such a decisive attitude, cutting everything down without thinking at all.

I see.

"He is really a teacher with... thoughtful ideas."

After thinking about it, Yi Lin could only say this.

Oda Mai nodded in agreement and said no more.

In silence, Oda Mai threw something over.

Yi Lin took it.

It turned out to be his compass.

Yi Lin smiled slightly, without saying anything.

Silently counting the remaining time in the maze, Yi Lin seriously thought about her next plan.

The exit has disappeared, but Yi Lin doesn't think that the two of them have their way of survival cut off here.

Yi Lin still has a few questions about Styx Junior High School and has yet to find answers.

He believed that those answers were the key to leaving here alive.

"Who is the mastermind behind this?"

"Queen Yanluo? Dog? Guard? Canteen aunt?"

"The vice-principal is dead, but where there is a vice-principal, there is a principal. Styx Junior High School... or the principal of this devil's factory, why hasn't he come online yet?"

"What role does that terrifying existence behind the mirror play in this trial? Is it really just an easter egg for group destruction?"

"Or is it the hidden final BOSS?"

"Why?"

Why?

Countless question marks appeared in Yi Lin's mind.

The more I think about it, the more headache I get.

But no conclusion could be drawn.

Yi Lin had no choice but to open the apostle panel.

The "cute rabbit" icon in the upper right corner has disappeared as the sarcoma was extracted.

Next, there will be no narration, with multiple-choice questions serving as "prompts."

In fact, what Yi Lin didn't tell Oda Mai was that although there was no "time limit" for this main mission, for the two of them, in fact... there was.

The time limit of the maze is their time limit.

Yi Lin and Oda Mai can now temporarily avoid the eyes of Queen Yanluo and other elite monsters, all relying on the sunken ship in front of them, this huge maze of chaotic space randomly generated by the [Scene Card].

Once the maze disappears, they will all return to Styx Junior High School. Without any cover, Yi Lin can almost picture them being attacked by a group of elite bosses.

——Very cruel.

Can you kill these bosses?

In the western restaurant, because they were busy chasing Liu Ruyan, Yi Lin and Oda Wu did not really fight with Queen Yanluo.

Yi Lin wasted three precious opportunities to use [Mediocre Banana Peel], lost her moral integrity, and successfully blocked Queen Yanluo.

Oda Mai also used the ability of "Spiritual Weapon", but it didn't take long before she took advantage of the situation and left.

Yi Lin kept analyzing the strengths of both sides.

If he uses his last trump card [Bloodthirsty Catastrophe], with the cooperation of Oda Mai, he will most likely kill Queen Yanluo.

Although Queen Yanluo's fire magic seemed to have the ability to heal, Yi Lin didn't believe that this healing ability really had no side effects.

Just like the "Dionysian factor", the effect is terrible, but the physical consumption is equally astonishing.

"I don't know if Disaster Haunted will have any effect on Queen Yanluo. If you use it randomly, it will just be a waste of spiritual energy."

"It would be better than the 'Big Slap Technique' to be more effective."

"It made me anxious...hehe."

In order to survive, Yi Lin has no plans to pick up the lost moral integrity for the time being.

He quickly simulated and analyzed what kind of "suits" he could make with the "cards" he had.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

While Yi Lin was thinking, Oda Mai actually fell asleep holding the knife, and there was a slight snoring.

"It turns out she's not made of iron either."

Yi Lin smiled and listened carefully to the movement outside. After it seemed that nothing had changed, he lowered his consciousness and entered the module space.

Along the way, Yi Lin reaped countless chaos points.

——He didn’t have time to count either.

Now, finally taking advantage of this little free time, Yi Lin entered the module space and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Nearly 70,000 chaos points!"

finally!

When upgrading the "Bat Bike" to [Summon Mount: Night Dire], Yi Lin consumed all the chaos points.

On only her second day at Styx Junior High School, Yi Lin had reached a chaos level of nearly 70,000.

This efficiency... is so terrifying!

A little conversion, based on the average value of each demon being about 250, Yilin killed nearly 300 demons along the way!

In the spiritual world, Yi Lin steps on the void.

He skillfully dragged out the only two ordinary skills he had at present, and turned them into light balls floating beside him.

[Unstable Explosives].

【runs fast】.

"Unfortunately, there are too few choices."

"If I could have Lao Pan's lucky points and be able to draw many skills, I would have been incredible by now."

Yi Lin sighed and expressed her real envy of Lao Pan's luck. After hesitating for a few seconds, she reached out to grab one of the skill light balls.
