When Si Ruo looked out the window, there was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth: "My father has always hoped to give birth to a boy to inherit the magic sect. I heard my mother say that my father has planned that boy's future in front of her countless times."
"It's a pity that the most certain young master of the Demon Sect turned into the Princess of the Demon Sect the moment he was born. My father immediately named me Si Ruo, which shows how disappointed he was at that time."
Si Ruo smiled bitterly and said: "Although my father did not find the young master of the Demon Sect that he wanted, he still started his original plan. Except that the master who taught martial arts was changed to a woman, nothing else changed."
"I have been receiving elite education since I was three years old. At that time, there were more than 30 children studying with me. We lived together, grew up together, and were very close."
"On my sixteenth birthday, they celebrated my birthday together and gave me gifts. I think that was the happiest day for me. But the next day, my dad called us together and announced something. That is, the thirty or so of us are enemies of life and death from now on. Within a year, only one of us can survive, and the one who survives is the young master of the Demon Sect."
"My father said: There are no rules and no fairness in the competition between you. You can use any means, and you can even ask for help from foreign countries. As long as you can kill your companions, you will be the winner."
Si Ruo's body was trembling slightly, and even though many years have passed, I can still feel the fear in her heart.
I walked up and took Si Ruo's hand: "Stop talking."
"Let me finish." Si Ruo said, "That day, none of us spoke and each left the conference room. That night, some friends came to me and said that we can't kill each other, but after just one night, three of us Died in the dormitory."
"At that time, the war between us completely broke out. The war that broke out between teenage children was more cruel than any movie you have ever seen. Can you imagine that kind of scene?"
"More than thirty of us were locked up in an abandoned school, killing each other like a group of worms, devouring the same kind, and unable to escape even if we wanted to. We have to be careful every day of our lives, but no matter how careful we are, we can't hide from our companions. Calculation…”
Si Ruo said with a trembling voice: "When I killed the last companion and walked to my father covered in blood, I saw his happy smile for the first time. That smile may be a kind of love for me. The reward may be a recognition for me.”
"At that time, my father asked me what reward I wanted. I told him: I want to go to school and live a college life like a normal person. My father's face was as dark as water at that time, but what he said never meant I regretted it. He promised to let me live out my college life, so I went to the Liaoning Academy of Sciences under the pseudonym Dong Xiaowei and met you."
Si Ruo forced a smile and said: "Do you know what I relied on to convince my father this time? It was still based on his original promise. He promised me that he would let me finish college, but he delayed my graduation. Travel, so I want to take the trip back. He agreed. But he still... "
I whispered: "No matter what the outcome of the trip is, as long as the two of us are together, it will be our graduation trip."
"That's right!" Si Ruo finally smiled, "Then let's look for clues... No, let's start our trip!"
Si Ruo pulled me and ran out of the hotel. Although I wanted to find out what Erosion Heart Powder was, I couldn't speak. I really don't want to destroy this short-lived beauty in Si Ruo's heart. At least I can't ruin Si Ruo's mood until we find the clues to this trial.
I didn't say anything, but Si Ruo spoke first: "We have to hurry up. Eclipse Heart Powder is a drug that can corrode people's meridians and Dantian. No matter how powerful a master is, as long as he is hit by Eclipse Heart Powder, his power will be reduced." It disappears quickly, and the muscles will also die, until the whole body is paralyzed."
"Erosion Heart Powder can't kill anyone, but it is more terrifying than Crane's Crown Red or Peacock's Gut. We have to hurry up. The longer we delay, the more danger we will have."
Si Ruo took a deep breath and said: "My father always keeps his word. When he said he didn't care about my life or death, he was definitely not kidding. Just like when I was fighting for life and death with my companions, I almost died several times. In my hand, he never came out to save me."
"Don't think so much, let's see if there is a university nearby." I checked on the map for a long time and finally found a local university. I said as I walked towards the school: "If your father wanted to recreate the scene at that time, it would definitely be a graduation trip. However, the God Detective would involve a group of innocent students on the road to God Discovery. I am not afraid. Did anyone die?"
Si Ruo explained: "The Detective's Hand is different from the Demon Sect and the Wugui Sect. The Demon Sect and the Wugui Sect never care about the consequences when doing things, and they dare to use any conspiracy method, no matter how many innocent people are implicated, they do not consider it. Inside."
"In addition to exploring the mythical restricted area, the Detective Hand also has another important task, which is to protect the innocent. The Detective Hand will never allow things involving innocent people to happen in front of his eyes. Otherwise, no matter how well the Detective Hand completes the task, If they are outstanding, or if they have performed too many great feats, they will be severely punished and even executed on the spot.”
I couldn't help but frown: "Can they guarantee that nothing will happen?"
"Yes." Si Ruo nodded. "Every time a disciple is prepared for a trial, there must be at least five masters following him. There are even people who directly put on makeup and sneak into the team to ensure the safety of innocent people. However, the disciples participating in the trial But they don’t know this.”
I said in surprise: "But there were obviously no detectives around us that time. Were they intercepted by the Demon Sect?"
Si Ruo said bluntly: "We originally arranged a group of blood guards to intercept and kill the Detective Hand, but our people were not put to use. Because of that trial, the Detective Hand did not arrange anyone to respond. This is also I've always found something strange. Didn't the Snow Demon Fox tell you?"
"No." It's not that I don't believe Mother Fox, but this matter will inevitably make people suspicious. I feel more and more that the trial in the Gushan Secret Cave is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against me. The person who made the layout shouldn't be Fox Mother, right
As I walked forward with my head lowered, I heard someone shouting: "Classmate... Classmate, are you this year's graduate?"
When I turned around, I saw a cute girl with pink hair walking over: "Classmates, are you fresh graduates? Do you want to sign up for a free trip?"
Si Ruo and I looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Yes!"
The girl smiled and said: "I have a travel invitation here. As long as you pass the assessment, you can participate. The registration location is at the car travel agency on the street in front."
I took the flyer from the girl's hand and read it: I will take you to explore Penglai Wonderland, reveal the secret of Xu Fu's path to immortality, boys and girls will be paired to participate, and you will enjoy five-star services for free.
After reading it, I couldn't help but laugh and said: "Exploring Penglai Wonderland is a gimmick, right? In today's universities, it is really not easy to find boys and girls who can be matched as a couple."
"If I go and say that I am a virgin, can you still test it out? If someone dares to come and test it, aren't you afraid that I will sue you for violating human rights?"
The girl also smiled: "I don't know about this. I was hired by the travel agency to distribute flyers. However, the verification is true! I wish you good luck."
The girl turned away after saying that. I waited until she was far away before saying, "Can looking for Penglai Island be a primary task?"
"Impossible." Si Ruo directly denied, "Looking for the three immortal mountains on the sea is a heaven-level mission. Finding the mystery of Xu Fu's immortal elixir is also a heaven-level mission. If the two are put together, it is a god-level mission. "
I couldn't help but frown and said, "Isn't the Mythical Forbidden Zone divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang? There is also a God level?"
The mission level of the Detective Hand corresponds to the level of the restricted area. Yu Feng told me that the restricted area is only divided into four levels.
Si Ruo shook his head and said: "There is a God-level forbidden area above the Heaven-level forbidden area. Because the God-level forbidden area involves ancient myths, even the elders in the Detective's hand dare not touch it easily, so the ordinary Detective's hand I didn’t know the existence of the god-level restricted area, I thought it was only the heaven-level one. But... "
Si Ruo changed the subject and said: "However, many people know about the so-called god-level tasks. A true god-level task is at least five times more difficult than the heaven-level, or even higher."
"The so-called god-level missions that Tanshen is known to have are just superimposed on the heaven-level missions. Just like this..."
Si Ruoyang held up the leaflet in Yang's hand: "Finding the mystery of Xu Fu's immortal elixir is itself a heaven-level mission, but Penglai Immortal Island is also listed as a heaven-level restricted area. Entering the heaven-level restricted area to complete another heaven-level mission is tantamount to By superimposing the difficulty of the task, this is the so-called god-level task, or a sub-god-level task."
Si Ruo continued to explain: "It is difficult for even a first-grade God-Detecting Hand to complete sub-god-level tasks. Such tasks will never appear in the assessment of preparatory disciples. I estimate that this should be the purpose of the God-Detecting Hand Headquarters to increase the number of newcomers. It’s an ecstasy formation that’s intentionally made difficult!”
I was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course there is." Si Ruodao, "For example, I deliberately give you a false clue and let you search for it based on the clue. If you can't turn around, you will fail the assessment. This is actually It tests the newcomer's analytical skills and judgment. After all, as a qualified divine explorer, the mind is the first priority, and the skill seems to be secondary."
Si Ruo looked at me and said: "All the outstanding figures in the Magic Hand are human beings. Idiots will never be able to advance to the high-level Magic Hand. Just like you."
"Thank you for the compliment." I walked towards the corner expressionlessly.
