Chapter 22 I Live, You Die
At this time, Lao Zhao has confirmed that this is some kind of test, or some kind of prank. The first level is greed, and the second level is lust. I just don't know if it is only for me or every scholar is experiencing it.
There will definitely be more next
When Lao Zhao came out of the bathroom, the scenery in front of him changed again. He was standing on the muddy river bank, with a heavy thunderstorm in the sky.
A man in black stood in front of him and said, "Jade Rat, you made it hard for me to find you."
"impossible"
"Impossible? Haha, you underestimate me, Jade Rat. Or rather, you overestimate yourself. No matter which rat hole you hide in, no matter who you become, I can find you."
Zhao Yushu wanted to move, but for some reason, his whole body was as hard as if it was wrapped in cement, and he couldn't move.
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. I don't like killing people. It's rare to have such a good toy like you. I will play with you slowly."
The man in black walked up to Zhao Yushu, stretched out a skinny hand, and placed it on his shoulder: "Next, you will beg me to kill you."
With a light press of the withered hand, a chill rushed from the shoulder to the whole body. The blood seemed to be frozen into ice. Sharp ice spikes pierced the blood vessels, passed through the skin from the inside of the muscles, and exploded all over the body.
Zhao Yushu screamed, and the black-clothed man laughed loudly, resounding throughout the night sky.
On the second floor, the young man with a fan in the treasure house and the woman in the bathroom stood side by side, looking at Zhao Yushu who was standing still in the empty hall on the first floor, but making extremely terrifying screams.
"Senior Sister, what on earth is he going through to make him scream like this?"
The woman shook her head: "Even Master doesn't know what is in each person's illusion, I only know that they will experience the most horrifying thing in their heart."
"What was Senior Sister then?"
"none of your business!"
The young man chuckled: "This young man is very interesting. He actually said that the things in the academy may be his in the future. He is so stupid and cute. I hope he can get through it."
The woman nodded: "It's really interesting"
The young man scratched his head and asked, "Why didn't Senior Sister seduce me when I first entered Tianji Pavilion?"
The woman turned her head and narrowed her eyes: "Is there a mirror?"
"I don't have it with me, but I have it in the room."
"Go back and take a look"
The young man was furious: "I am better looking than him anyway!"
Zhao Yushu slowly regained consciousness and felt that a century had passed. To his despair, when he opened his eyes, he still saw the man in black.
The blood and wounds all over his body disappeared, but the pain deep in his bones did not dissipate.
"Awake? Let's continue. There are many ways to play."
"I'm not afraid of you," Zhao Yushu said with difficulty. Zhao Yushu was shaking like a sieve, not because of fear, but because of pain.
"What did you say?" The man in black seemed to have heard something incredible.
"You are already dead"
"Really? I'll continue then." The man in black put his hand on Zhao Yushu's head. A tremor and tingling came from his soul. Zhao Yushu felt as if his entire soul was being sucked away.
He didn't scream, but his eyes rolled back, saliva slowly flowed from the corners of his mouth, and tears and snot gushed out.
"Sister, do you want to stop? I might die." The young man was a little nervous because he saw Zhao Yushu actually crying and foaming at the mouth in reality. This meant that the damage he suffered in the illusion had begun to backfire on him.
"If you want to enter the Tianji Pavilion, you should be mentally prepared for this."
"But I heard that he didn't know he was going to enter the Tianji Pavilion. It was arranged by the chief priest."
"what?"
Poor old Zhao had no idea what sin he had committed or who he had offended. He just wanted to spend a few years in the academy to avoid the hardships outside, so how did he end up in the Tianji Pavilion for no apparent reason?
After a while, Zhao Yushu regained consciousness. He had bitten his tongue at some point, and his mouth was full of blood foam. Tears and snot were flowing everywhere, and he had difficulty breathing. His vision was even more blurry.
"Is the old man dead?" The man in black sneered.
"I'm not afraid of you," the vague words came out of Zhao Yushu's mouth word by word.
"It's really strange. Jade Rat is notoriously afraid of death, but today he has become tough. Could it be that I was too gentle?" The man in black circled around the trembling Zhao Yushu and said sinisterly.
"You are dead." The same words were repeated again without hesitation, even faster.
"I killed him with my own hands. Do you remember, you devil?" Zhao Yushu's eyes gradually became clear, and his mind became firm again.
"What you've been thinking about, the dagger, enters from the back and exits from the chest, just one strike," Zhao Yushu's mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of sarcasm, and although his voice was still intermittent, it was no longer trembling.
"You didn't even have time to say your last words. You died like a dog. Do you remember?"
The body of the man in black began to shake constantly, and he seemed to be saying something, but it was as if the TV signal in his previous life was interfered with, and it was impossible to hear clearly.
"I can kill you once, and I can kill you the second time. I don't care if you are a human or a ghost." Zhao Yushu gasped and felt the restraints on his body begin to weaken. He tried hard and his fingers seemed to be able to move.
"Some people say that it's impolite to point at people," Zhao Yushu raised his hand and pointed at the man in black.
"I want to say that it's rude to point at people, but you're not a human being." He closed his palms, leaving only one finger, and slowly raised it.
"I don't care what you want to do, just let me out." He raised his middle finger, which happened to be pointing in the direction of the two people standing on the second floor.
"Sister, what does he mean?"
"Open the barrier, he wins"
After waiting for a while, Zhao Yushu saw a crack in the world before his eyes, as if a glass had been knocked.
The cracks spread rapidly, reaching everywhere in the sky and underground.
With a loud crash, the whole world shattered
I was standing in a wide hall. The wooden planks on the floor were a bit old, and a staircase was winding up.
Looking up, there is a skylight that leads straight to the sky, but as far as the eye can see, only the second floor is visible. The floors above the second floor seem to be covered by thick fog.
Zhao Yushu's feet went weak and he collapsed to the ground, his whole body as if he had been drenched by rain.
I don't know how long it took me to come back to my senses. The young man holding the fan was standing in front of me with a smile, looking down at me.
Lao Zhao was startled. Oh my god, how can a ghost walk without making any noise?
"Hey, you were trying to trick me in the treasure house just now, right? Humph, I'm so smart that I didn't fall for it. And what about the guy taking a shower? Are you guys in the same group?" Lao Zhao was very unhappy. He looked very ugly now. His clothes were all wet, and there was a mixture of snot, tears and saliva on his face. He really wanted to take a shower first.
The young man holding the fan still smiled, but did not speak.
"No, I'm asking you a question. We have no grudges against each other, right? Why are you torturing me like this? Do you know that I almost died? Do you know how much pain it was?" Old Zhao struggled to get up. His legs were still a little weak, but his mind seemed to be clearer, and his consciousness seemed to have become a little stronger.
The young man still smiled and still didn't speak
Zhao Yushu was a little angry: "Who are you? I was admitted to the academy by a formal examination. Why are you treating me like this?"
The young man holding the fan shook his head and slowly opened the folding fan, with an unchanging smile on his face.
The next moment, the folding fan slashed towards Zhao Yushu's neck like lightning.
Zhao Yushu was horrified and instinctively used the Stepping Shadow Step. Of course, he didn't have one or two seconds to open the shadow world, but fortunately, even under normal circumstances, the Stepping Shadow Step was still a superior footwork and was extremely fast.
Flying backwards, the folding fan follows like a shadow
There was no way to avoid it, he was too fast. Zhao Yushu looked at the folding fan that was always only an inch away from his neck no matter how he dodged. He had no doubt that the soft paper would be enough to cut his throat with just a slight scratch.
Subconsciously, Zhao Yushu was about to call out Madam Xu. When the shadow in his hand was about to appear, Zhao Yushu hesitated.
This is my last trump card. Once it is exposed, people from Prince Fu's Mansion may arrive in the next moment.
He shook his hands to disperse the spiritual power, and formed his index and middle fingers into sword fingers. This was a move from Tan Yun's middle finger technique. He hadn't learned it yet, but had only seen it before. But at this moment, he had no choice.
At the moment when the folding fan was about to fall on his body, the sword finger suddenly thrust forward, not from the back to the front, but from the bottom to the top, towards the wrist holding the fan.
With a crisp sound, the folding fan closed instantly and slapped down, hitting the finger that had just been raised.
Zhao Yushu let out a scream, his finger was broken!
The young man laughed and said, "It turns out to be a scene from the outside world."
Damn it! Zhao Yushu's eyes went dark. I'm exposed.
