All that can be felt is the breath of the universe, the endless stars, and the bottomless nothingness.
It was as if there were two worlds interweaving and taking shape together. After everything was turned upside down, we finally arrived at a completely new world.
[The story of film and reality intertwined, today, is re-unraveled. 】
I recommend this book by a friend. The protagonist traveled through time and space and became the Archenemy. Instead of becoming the leader of the Supreme Council, he started an uprising in southern Cybertron and is currently fighting the Cybertron Civil War.
Chapter 45 Shadow World: Purgatory Corridor Academy
When Lanqi felt the surroundings light up again, his vision gradually focused.
He found himself sitting in the back row of a classroom as wide as a theater.
In the dim space, the only light source was the faint light coming from a few oil lamps hanging on the wall, a dim, almost tangible golden color.
They flicker constantly like the pulse of life, which not only ensures a certain visibility, but also adds some mysterious sense of drama to the place. Under the dim light, the shadows of the tables and chairs are distorted and extended, and some swaying black shadows rustle in the silence.
Although what Lanqi saw at this moment did look like a classroom - long tables covered with red tablecloths were neatly arranged, a brand new black and gold blackboard stood on the far front stage of the classroom, and the window frames and carvings also looked simple and luxurious.
However, this space, which is estimated to be about 300 square meters, should give people a sense of spaciousness, but for some reason it is gone. The strong bloody smell that shouldn't be there is accompanied by an indescribable sense of weirdness.
For a moment, Lanqi suspected that he had come to the underworld.
His eyes moved downwards, and he saw a rough and ancient parchment on the red tablecloth, with an ink bottle and a feather pen lying next to it.
The surface of the parchment was branded with mysterious words that were different from human language, but after using the translation technique of the Shadow World, Lanqi roughly determined that this was a demonic magic test paper with questions in it.
Why is it still school?
Lanqi was extremely shocked.
He thought he had finally escaped from school, but he ended up escaping to another school!
Worse.
Originally I was just attending classes at Ikerit Academy, but now that I’ve come to this demon school it seems like I’m going to start taking exams straight away!
With the mood of visiting a grave, Lanqi raised his head slightly and glanced around, only to feel a sudden sense of alienation suddenly emerging in the air.
The students in this classroom all look different, each one stranger than the other.
Each of them has an indescribable feature. Most of them have sharp horns, strange patterns and exoskeletons on their skin, and some even have long black tails.
In the corridor of the classroom, two guys who looked like examiners were wandering around in an orderly manner. They were wearing classical clothes similar to suits, and they looked neat and serious.
But surrounded by the smell of blood and evil, it looks particularly eerie and terrifying.
It didn't look good at first glance.
Compared to the artificial shadow worlds [Hidden Flame of Winter] and [Infinite Phantom Canyon] that I have experienced before, which seem to have milder themes, this real shadow world is obviously not a heavyweight!
Soon, relevant information about the shadow world also appeared in Lanqi's sight.
This is a hint that only Shadow World Challengers can see—
[Shadow World: Purgatory Corridor Academy]
[Level: Level 4]
[The number of challengers is 6]
[Historical background: This was once the darkest age for humans. Humans only had day and night, and were all slaves of the blood race. However, some people, for the sake of the dignity of the human race, did not hesitate to shatter their own dignity. In order to retake the south shrouded by the blood moon, only by obtaining the power of the devil can a miracle be created. Thus, a crazy plan was born - a group of humans disguised themselves as devils through the forbidden surgery of the Empire Experimental Field, crossed the extremely cold and dangerous northern region to enter the demon world, tried to integrate into the demon society, and learn the magic of the demons...]
[Task Overview: You are lurking in a demonic academy that is too absurd for human civilization to gather intelligence, and tonight will be the most dangerous night, you need to work hard to get through it safely.]
[Time remaining: 11 hours and 59 minutes]
[Mission Target 1: The Academy's exploration rate exceeds 60%, and the current progress is 3%]
[Mission Objective 2: Investigate the source of the danger tonight]
[Mission Objective 3: At least 1 person survives until the end of the time limit, currently 6/6 survived]
[Challengers Ranch & Hyperion start at the exam scene, the exam time is 2 hours, subject: Demonic Magic]
[If any cheating in the exam is discovered by the invigilator, the invigilator will have the right to eliminate the candidate]
[If the score is judged to be less than 50 at the end of the exam, it will be considered as a failure and the invigilator will immediately execute the elimination]
[You can hand in your paper in advance. If you have any needs, you can raise your hand to ask the examiner for help]
【Exam remaining time: 1 hour and 59 minutes】
As Lanqi's thoughts converge, these information panels similar to the artificial shadow world can be hidden or reappeared.
But after he understood the content of his first real movie world, he frowned.
Level 4, what the hell is that?
Lanqi will not comment on the nightmare scenario of the opening "exam" for now.
He is a second-level person and Hyperion is a third-level person. If anyone in the Shadow World has learned mathematics, shouldn't they be matched into the fourth-level Shadow World?
However, what Lanqi was more concerned about was that according to the prompt information of the shadow world, he should be temporarily disguised as a demon by the mechanism of the shadow world.
Would it seem to damage his image?
Lanqi looked down at himself. Apart from the dark black uniform of the Purgatory Corridor Academy, his joints seemed to have an exoskeleton like white jade crystals, glowing faintly.
He touched his head again and found that there were indeed two more horns. From the faint light reflected on the ink bottle, he could see that his black hair and green eyes had not changed, but the horns and the lines on his face were pure white.
……
At the same time, on the campus of Ikerita.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the college was immersed in a deep tranquility. At this moment, the setting sun had begun to slowly sink towards the western horizon, spreading its final golden red color over every corner of the campus.
At the Jera Memorial Plaza not far from the college entrance, a group of passing students had already begun to enjoy their after-get out of class time, discussing dinner options, while many students were sitting on the steps of the plaza, watching the campus carousel news projected on the open-air giant screen in the center of the plaza.
Often, this open-air giant screen will broadcast live footage of the film world that the students in the academy are currently challenging.
Since the movie world is a projection of a period of history, the movie world challenges reality itself and is often no less than a wonderful and unique movie.
Students often come here to watch live clips of the movie world.
It is not only a way of entertainment and enjoying life, but also a learning process.
Of course, there are also many students sitting on the steps in front of the giant screen, leisurely discussing the class that has just ended with their friends, or quietly reading books, immersed in their own world.
"Hmm? There's a new fourth-order shadow world?"
"It turns out to be a rare demon history shadow world..."
On the steps, a student suddenly spoke to himself.
This made many students raise their heads and look at the screen at the moment.
Since not many students challenge the shadow world on the first day of school, they can tell at a glance when a new challenge appears.
Moreover, it is a dark-toned picture with extremely distinct thematic features.
"Wait, aren't these two freshmen?"
Soon, some students noticed the [Challenger Information] column below the live broadcast of the Shadow World and exclaimed! !
Chapter 46: Lanqi's thirst for knowledge
In the classroom of the Shadow World Demon Academy.
This unique dim atmosphere seems to slow down time, and every second seems like an eternity frozen in amber.
The red tablecloth is particularly eye-catching in the dim light. It is a deep and rich red, absurd yet full of artistic sense.
In this classroom, light and shadow, brightness and darkness, stillness and movement, all change in a regular and orderly manner.
Apparently, the exams have already started.
Lanqi knew that after arriving in the shadow world, the most important thing was to observe and understand the situation and current situation.
The film world often has rationality.
If the challenger does not make an operational mistake or fail, there will be no inevitable death or unsolvable situation.
Lanqi's emerald eyes scanned the classroom environment sharply, and the faint light danced in his pupils.
Although he tried to minimize the amplitude of his movements, he soon noticed the unruly behavior of several students.
Their eyes flickered and their heads occasionally turned slightly, all of them intending to cheat.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice cut through the silent and depressing space.
"You will only be warned once. If you whisper, it will be considered cheating."
That was the voice coming from the examiner who was patrolling the examination room, like a lion's roar, exploding in the classroom.
The devil candidate who was trying to peek secretly was immediately frightened out of his wits by the cold warning.
These devilish candidates who were almost targeted quickly lowered their heads and temporarily focused all their attention on their papers. Their faces were full of fear and tension, and the sweat on their foreheads was like dewdrops on leaves, trembling and could slide off at any time.
Even though they looked quite ferocious and terrifying, under the intimidation of the demon examiner, it was easy to tell who was stronger and who was weaker.
Subsequently.
The examiner then resumed his orderly patrol.
But when the demon examiner turned his head, he could not hide the hideous smile on the corner of his mouth. He was like a beast that had been imprisoned for a long time and was eager to kill. He was staring at the cage, waiting for the perfect moment to pounce.
"..."
Lanqi took it all in silently.
The strength of the devil student is actually very easy to judge.
The magic power strength is not exaggerated, most of them are second and third levels similar to Ranchi Hyperion.
The demon examiner who could scare them like this must be more than level four.
It is very likely to be level five.
Then there are two terrifying fifth-order demons. After passing this initial demon examination room and heading to other places, it is definitely not possible to use force.
