"Lanqi, what do you think of demons?"
While running, Hyperion finally lowered her voice and asked tentatively.
Lanqi was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"They can live a very long time. Even if they are hundreds of years old, they still look like a young girl."
Lanqi couldn't help but sneer and replied, if Hyperion asked this, he would not be sleepy anymore.
He had wanted to speak freely for a long time, but no one had ever talked to him about this topic.
It turns out that Hyperion is also interested in demons!
"..."
Hyperion felt that Lanqi's words were somewhat offensive to her.
Although she was indeed a teenager, as a half-demon her lifespan was definitely longer than that of humans, and Lanqi's words would hurt her a hundred years later.
No, why is his focus so strange?
"If you encounter a demon in the real world, will it be the same as before?"
Hyperion asked again, still feeling a little nervous.
Lanqi just looked at her without saying a word.
The silence speaks.
"Do you think I'm an old man who eats arsenic because I think my life is too long?"
"..."
"Let's not talk about whether it's dangerous to provoke the demons. There might be some good guys among the demons. Hyperion, don't discriminate against the demons."
Lanqi gave earnest advice.
"……so."
Hyperion was stunned at first when she heard this, then she lowered her head, pursed her lips, and spoke softly.
For some reason, the heavy stone that had been pressing on her heart seemed to have disappeared because of Lanqi's serious words.
She never thought that one day someone would tell her "not to discriminate against demons."
Although there was a Madonna feel to what Lanqi said.
But Hyperion firmly believed that Lanci was not a hypocritical saintly bitch.
But the true Virgin Mary.
Because he was really able to treat everyone equally - not only to demons, he also tortured people to death.
……
In just a few dozen seconds, some of the demon students fleeing in the corridor were still running as if they were looking for something, while others chose the classroom again and ran in regardless of the risk.
From this perspective, the corridor is a terrifying place that is no less dangerous than the classroom, otherwise these students would not be so active in seeking classes.
"It's almost time for us to find an opportunity to take action."
If possible, Lanqi was unwilling to enter any classroom and waste time. The top priority now was to find out some information about the Demon Academy.
Only by understanding the rules can you act boldly and confidently, and even find ways to speed through them quickly to find the "ancient demon magic of modifying hairstyles" that you want to learn.
Hyperion naturally understood what Lanqi meant.
There is only one student left in front of me now, so it seems I can have a good communication with him.
She quickened her pace, speeding forward silently to catch the lucky student.
“You step…!”
After being grabbed by the shoulders by Hyperion, the demon with green scales on his neck turned his head fiercely and raised his hand to push Hyperion.
however.
When his pupils focused the next moment and he saw clearly the invigilator Lanci standing behind Hyperion.
The fear from the soul swept over the green-scale demon's heart like a tide, and his hand hung in the air motionless, as if it had nowhere to go.
"ah……"
When Lanqi saw the green-scaled demon's appearance, he opened his lips slightly in surprise.
It turned out that the person they caught was coincidentally the demon candidate who was selected by Lanqi with [Basic Etiquette] before, who was scared for dozens of seconds by the dragon demon and the owl, and finally escaped with his life right under their noses!
What a fate this is! Lanqi couldn't help but smile slightly when he looked at him.
Even though Lanqi hadn't said anything yet.
The green-scaled demon student was already shaking with fear.
Lanqi: “Hello.”
Just a simple hello.
The devil seemed to hear a call from hell, and he felt that his ancestors were calling him to reunite.
"Classmate, what should I call you?"
Lanqi put his hands behind his back, still with the temperament of an examiner, walked to the side of the green-scaled demon student, and asked with a smile.
"Ba... Bachel..."
The green-scaled, snake-eyed demon student answered tremblingly in obedience to his survival instinct. His skin turned pale and bloodless with fear, and his legs were weak as if he would kneel down at any moment.
Chapter 53 Lanqi's Harvest Method
Lanqi's footsteps were like a floating breeze, and his figure was blurry in the dim light of the corridor, as if he was a messenger coming from the dark end of the corridor.
Unlike most demon students, Ranchi's demonic features are all white, making him look elegant and harmless, like a special demon of the medical or auxiliary type.
However, in the eyes of Bachelor, the lucky demon student caught by Ranch and Hyperion, this pure white glow in purgatory was filled with endless weirdness and incongruity.
Because as a victim, Bacher knew very well what crazy and evil things this white devil had done in the examination room before!
"Why are you running?"
Lanqi stood beside the devil student Bachelor, and his kind voice was like a breeze gently blowing across the lake, but it also carried a certain seriousness that could not be shaken.
How dare you ask me that?
The moment Bachelor heard Lanqi's question, sparks of anger flashed uncontrollably in his eyes, and his teeth made a slight creaking sound because he clenched them too tightly!
If it weren't for this bastard, he could have spent two hours with a safe exam and obtained at least one credit coin!
But now, he needs to be in this dangerous corridor, facing the threat of death at any time.
But the anger that was about to surge in Bacher's heart was instantly extinguished by fear and the desire to survive.
If he wants to survive, he, who is only at the second level, must not provoke these two things in front of him no matter how strong his character is.
This clarity and desire to survive are the reasons why he was able to survive until now and even escape from the noses of the two devil examiners.
"If you don't have credits and are caught by the Dean patrolling the corridor during class, you will be killed immediately!"
Bachelor didn't have time to explain too much. He just looked at both sides of the corridor in panic and spoke to Lanqi, as if begging him to let him go quickly and find a classroom.
Lanqi looked at Bachel's panic. Although he only understood half of the answer, he roughly understood why other demon students would rather run into a life-threatening classroom than stay in the corridor.
"Want this?"
Lanqi took out a few coins that looked like they were made of black gold from his pocket, shook them in front of Bachelor and asked.
The coin in his hand was about half an inch in diameter, well-made and thick, and felt heavy.
The deep black color reflects a crimson glow in the dim light of the corridor, like magma in purgatory, and the emblem of the Demon Academy in the center of the coin is surrounded by a circle of tight runes written in the devil's magic language, making it impossible to copy.
Lanqi guessed that this should be the credit coin that Bacher mentioned, but it was not appropriate to ask him directly "is it", so he changed the way of asking.
"?!"
Bacher looked at Lanqi in disbelief, wondering why Lanqi had so many credits!
But in the end he nodded vigorously.
Lanqi understood after seeing Bacher's reaction.
These coins were picked up from the corpses of the demon students when they left the demon examination room. Most of them were the result of the invisible assassin Hyperion's efficient tomb-robbing after she transformed into a thief.
"Tell me all the information you know about the school, and I'll give you one credit. How's that for a deal?"
Lanqi first threw a credit coin to Hyperion to ensure her safety, then raised another one, looked at Bachel through the light reflected from it and asked.
"Yes, of course!"
Bacher nodded quickly and accepted the deal.
The transactions of demons are generally quite reliable, and this fellow named Bacher has a bit of aristocratic temperament. He is probably the son of a noble family in the demon world of this era. For demons, transactions are important in maintaining the family's reputation.
"Let's start, but to save time, you should start with the important parts about the rules, and skip the parts I tell you to skip."
Lanqi said, tossing the credit coin promised to Bachel with his thumb.
In order to prevent Bacher from realizing that he knew nothing about the rules of this school, Lanqi chose to let Bacher confess voluntarily.
"it is good."
Bachel stared at the credits, worried that the dean would come at any time, and quickly spoke,
"You can earn credits by successfully passing classroom courses. You will need to consume a lot of credits to survive in this school at other times."
"Classrooms have various teaching methods and exam rooms. They are places where you need to risk your life to learn. Functional areas are places like libraries, restaurants, and infirmaries. Generally speaking, there is no danger, but you need to spend credits."
“每天只有夜间12小时的学校运作时间，有5节2小时的课程和4个30分钟的课间，只有课间的那30分钟，教室回廊才会与功能区回廊连接上。每天早上6点需要向学校缴纳至少5个学分币并获得5点的毕业学分，积攒到4800毕业学分就能顺利从这所炼狱回廊学院毕业，获得魔界文凭……”
Lanqi nodded repeatedly as he listened to Bachelor's words.
He now roughly understood the basic operating rules of this school.
Although this Purgatory Corridor Academy appears to be entirely indoors, it is actually made up of countless intricate corridors that are connected at fixed times. Even old students find it difficult to quickly find where they want to go.
On the doorplates of classrooms where credits can be obtained, there will be different numbers of imprints to show the difficulty of the current classroom, with the lowest being 1 and the highest being 3. The difficulty is also the minimum number of credits that can be obtained after passing.
