"Huh... Anyway, I finally have some understanding of this script."
"Next, let's go find the tomboy first."
Gu Moli naturally didn't dare to call Hua Qiong "tomboy" directly in person, but since he was alone now, he might as well call her that.
However, just as Gu Moli was about to leave the library.
Boom!
Just outside the library, a loud roar and noise suddenly came, and then a bloody figure rushed into the library!
"boss!"
"Something's wrong! There's something wrong with this script!"
“There’s a problem!”
That figure was Hua Qiong!
However, Hua Qiong had already entered into a complete combat state at this time. He was wearing a golden armor with a beast head, a caltrop bone, and a blood-stained body. He looked quite ferocious.
"... What happened?"
"Were you attacked?"
Gu Moli first glanced at the students around him who seemed not to see anything, and then looked at Hua Qiong and said.
"Yes!"
Hua Qiong said quickly: "I wanted to come to you, but I didn't know the way, so I asked the students around me. As a result, these students suddenly went berserk! One by one, they rushed over like crazy zombies. I suspect this is the next stage of the script!"
"You mean... Brave Challenge?"
"right!"
After playing it so many times, most players are actually very familiar with the script settings of Hero Trial.
Especially the three completion achievements within the script.
The three achievements of breaking through, namely, the conditions for breaking away, the challenge for brave men, and the trial for heroes, are actually a choice of difficulty. The conditions for breaking away are the easiest, the challenge for brave men is a little more difficult, and the trial for heroes is the most difficult. These three achievements are also in a progressive relationship. Only after achieving the former can you continue to the latter.
In other words.
"After completing the conditions for escape, the dilemma that the hero challenges immediately appears."
"Compared to those..."
Hua Qiong urged anxiously: "Those students are still chasing me, including you. These students are also very strange, aren't they? We have to hurry..."
"Don't worry."
Gu Moli touched his chin, but did not move. Instead, he looked at Hua Qiong with a strange gaze and said, "You seem to want me to follow you?"
"Eh? Of course, I can't give up on you, my boss..."
"wrong."
"... .ah?"
After walking a few steps, Gu Moli said to himself, "I have been wondering from the beginning why these students didn't react at all."
As he spoke, Gu Moli pointed at the students around him. Among them were first-year students and senior students, but without exception, they all sat in their seats reading books. Even the library administrator, Madam Pings, ignored Gu Moli and Hua Qiong.
"So! There's something wrong with this school! Everyone in it is..."
"That's just your one-sided statement."
Gu Moli interrupted Hua Qiong unceremoniously: "I can have another explanation for this. For example, everything I saw here is fake. The students are fake, you are fake, and even my own actions are fake. They are all illusions or something like that."
"What are you talking about..."
"Horcruxes."
"... ..Huh?"
"Among the seven Horcruxes, there aren't many that can create illusions, but according to my personal subjective judgment, Tom Riddle's diary should be able to do it, right? And it also happens to be in the shape of a book, so there's nothing wrong with putting this kind of thing in the library, don't you think?"
"... ... ... "
Hua Qiong, or to be more precise, someone disguised as Hua Qiong fell silent. Then her mouth slightly opened and her figure gradually began to change. Finally, she turned back into the familiar appearance of Gu Moli, a tall and handsome young man wearing a wizard robe.
Tom Marvolo Riddle.
Voldemort at the age of sixteen.
"I didn't expect you to react so quickly."
"How do you know that?"
"No, I didn't see that, actually."
Gu Moli spread his hands and said, "I just thought there was such a possibility. I chose to trick you for the sake of safety. I just wanted to give it a try. If you had persisted a little longer, maybe I would have followed you. I didn't expect you to cooperate so well and reveal your true colors."
Voldemort: "..."
"Sharp words won't change your situation."
Voldemort pursed his lips, then continued: "You are now inseparable from this diary, and your friend will soon die in another Horcrux."
"Another Horcrux? What Horcrux?"
Gu Moli immediately grasped the key points of Voldemort's words; "Seven Horcruxes, Hua Qiong is in Gryffindor, what kind of Horcrux can put her in danger? Ravenclaw's diadem? Hufflepuff's gold cup? Marvolo Gaunt's ring? Slytherin's locket? Nagini? Harry Potter?"
"... No."
"Harry Potter does not exist."
"Harry Potter is not among the seven Horcruxes. Has he been replaced? What has he been replaced with?"
Voldemort: "..."
Although he didn't get an answer, Gu Moli already had a guess in his mind.
But before that.
"It's better to get out of here first."
"go out?"
Voldemort raised his eyebrows. "How are you going to get out of here? Or do you think you can get out by killing me?"
"Of course not."
Gu Moli shook his head, then without panicking, twisted his waist, turned his wrists, and warmed up on the spot.
"It's impossible for the system to set up a puzzle that is completely hopeless to solve."
“The puzzles that seem unsolvable are actually designed based on the player’s own abilities. As long as they are used effectively, they can be solved.”
"Just like this illusion ability, isn't it essentially just an NPC skill?"
"As long as this..."
Gu Moli activated the ability synchronization of the title character.
As expected, the Voldemort in front of him was actually a special NPC, and he had only one skill, which was the memory cage. The effect was also very simple, which was to pull outsiders into his own memory fantasy, and outsiders had no right to enter and exit freely.
But things are different now.
With the help of the ability of synchronization, Gu Moli also mastered the memory cage. It was like a door. Voldemort had the original key, and Gu Moli copied an identical one. The door was there, and as long as the key matched, it would be open to everyone.
"you... .!"
"Goodbye."
At this moment, Gu Moli only felt that the scene in front of him was getting farther away, his body was moving backwards, and the surrounding scene was expanding infinitely in all directions. Cracks appeared in the space, and a thousand feet of white light shone through the cracks, completely covering his vision, and then there was another dizzy spell...
boom!
With the last loud noise echoing in his ears, Gu Moli suddenly opened his eyes.
He was still sitting at his desk in the library.
In front of him was "Hogwarts: A History", and next to it was a black diary with the words Tom Riddle written in the corner.
really.
"This is what the survival in the Brave Challenge means. Only by surviving the Horcruxes can you successfully collect them."
"But... isn't this a bit too coincidental?"
"I encountered a Horcrux so soon, it feels like it came to me... ..
Just as Gu Moli was thinking, a system prompt suddenly popped up.
