Chapter 109: Three People, Three Items
(You ponder for a moment.)
(So far, this school has no weird rules; it's not much different from a regular campus.)
(Since the name of the dungeon is "Final Examination," the real difficulty of the dungeon should be related to the final exam. Your next task is to find the hint note for the final exam.)
(The teacher marking the paper picks up your exam and points to three names.)
(You feel a strong mental power from the teacher and you speculate that your psychological suggestion might not work on her.)
(Teacher: Who are these three people?)
(You: My father and my two brothers.)
(Teacher: Don't think I can't see your lie; you have failed this test, and you're expelled.)
(Two security guards approach, holding you by each arm and leading you out of the office.)
(You decide to test the combat abilities of the characters in this dungeon.)
(You use psychological suggestion on yourself.)
(Feeling a surge of strength, you break free from the two guards.)
(You run frantically down the corridor and head down the stairs.)
(A burly man blocks the stairway entrance, also dressed as a security guard.)
(You engage in a fight with him.)
(You're eventually overpowered.) frёewebnoѵēl.com
(The burly man picks you up and throws you into a garbage chute.)
(Stars dance before your eyes as you slide through the chute for ten minutes, finally landing on a garbage pile.)
(Before you, there's a massive incinerator. A conveyor belt is constantly pushing garbage into it.)
(A rush of trash pushes you closer and closer to the incinerator.)
(You are incinerated.)
(The deduction ends!) current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.
Gu Yi opened his eyes.
This time, the exam was graded on the spot. Once the paper was completed, it was immediately checked by the teacher.
Moreover, the names he made up on the spot, the teacher can immediately discern that he's lying. And, the teacher's basis for judgment isn't rational reasoning, but some strange power.
The strength of the school's security guards varies; some are comparable to average adult men, some far beyond normal.
Under the influence of psychological suggestion, he can deal with two regular security guards simultaneously. However, there's no way to deal with the burly guard unless he has a weapon.
Gu Yi closed his eyes again.
(Deduction begins!)
(You use psychological suggestion on yourself.)
(You convince yourself that the three names you made up are the most important people to you.)
(You write these three made-up names on the paper, and the names of the three items remain unchanged.)
(You leave the examination room and sit in the waiting area.)
(When the grading is complete, you're not called into the teacher's office.)
(The invigilator comes out and begins addressing the students from the podium.)
(Teacher: Students, you've completed the information entry. There are more exams waiting for you. The examination period is six days in total. Please rest well and do not leave the school premises before the end of the exams. The exam for the first day is over; you can now collect the keys to your dormitory rooms.)
(Students disperse, and you follow the crowd to the dormitory building.)
(You glance behind and estimate that there are about three to four hundred students participating in the exam. Everyone lines up orderly at the dormitory entrance.)
(It's finally your turn.)
(The dormitory supervisor, an older lady, checks a roster and then removes her reading glasses to look at you.)
(Auntie: Are you Gu Yi?)
(You: Yes.)
(Auntie: To get the dormitory key, there's a price. You have to choose one item to give up from the three most important items you listed earlier. What do you choose to give up?)
(You are taken aback. So, the previous question was meant for this.)
(You guess that there's a corresponding relation between the exam spanning six days and the paper requiring you to write down three people and three items. It's likely that each day, the school will ask you to give up one person or item.)
(This is a test of human nature.)
(Auntie: What do you choose to give up?)
(You: The signed book from the Stone Giant.)
(Auntie: A wise choice.)
(The auntie snaps her fingers.)
(A small void portal appears before you. The auntie retrieves the signed book from it.)
(The signed book turns to ashes in the auntie's hands.)
(You receive the dormitory key.)
(You enter your dormitory room.)
(There's a void in front of you.)
(You end the speculation!)
Gu Yi opened his eyes, thinking deeply, biting the end of his pen.
The dormitory seems to be in another dimension or protected by a higher power. He couldn't deduce about its interior without entering personally.
It seems the system is starting to counteract him.
With him having captured Jin Xin, the other hosts would have been alerted. To counter his deductive ability, they must have made adjustments to the rules of the dungeon.
The fact that he can't sit in the classroom and deduce about the dormitory situation is strong evidence.
Moreover, the rules of the dungeon are quite disturbing.
Three items, three people.
If the requirement of the dungeon is to give up one person or item every day, the first three days would inevitably involve giving up cherished items. But the last three days would involve giving up people.
But, if the three names Gu Yi writes are all fabricated, will he be discovered as lying when it's time to actually give them up?
Or would the dungeon simply choose three random, unrelated individuals as sacrifices?
Torn inside, Gu Yi didn't dare to take this risk.
--If he dies due to breaking the rules, the whole country will be in danger. He had no choice but to write down the names of the people he truly treasures on the paper; this seemed the safest method for now.
There's nothing to worry about.
As long as he can uncover the truth about Wapeng High School within three days, he doesn't need to worry about his family being in danger.
With determination, Gu Yi wrote down the names of his parents and grandmother.
In the real world.
This dungeon is dubbed the easiest one in history. From the start till now, surprisingly, not a single adventurer has triggered an instant death.
All the adventurers sat in the classroom, only able to vaguely see the words on the exam papers.
"Does anyone know what questions they are attempting?"
"No idea, we'll probably have to wait for the strategy team's analysis."
Qu Kangping sat in front of the monitor, zooming in on the exam questions using technological means. After seeing the questions, he pressed his lips together in silence.
"Why isn't Gu Yi writing anything?"
"What is he thinking?"
"Holy crap, Chris from the neighboring Lighthouse country handed in his paper early?"
"That guy is almost immune to mental contamination and has strong inspiration powers. He probably found the answers through inspiration."
Various discussions were going on in the chat.
The pace of this dungeon isn't fast, so everyone's focus is on the two-star adventurers, Gu Yi and Chris.
Ah Jian looked at the paper with some confusion, then turned to Qu Kangping.
"Leader, why hasn't Gu Yi written anything for so long?"
"This question is definitely problematic. Gu Yi must have foreseen something," said Qu Kangping. "Let's keep watching."
