Volume 4: No One Survives in Fantasy High School Chapter 7: The Teacher and the Third Mark
The third mark suddenly appeared on the stairs when Li Lin went downstairs to meet Sallys.
He didn't notice it at all when he came up, but after Li Lin went downstairs, a light silver mist appeared in the whole hall, which dragged him directly into a hazy illusion and he couldn't see his true appearance.
Judging from their appearance, it looked like a few people were chatting. It was hard to tell whether they were men or women, or even what they looked like. No one made any sound, but they were waving their hands strangely and making all kinds of special and exaggerated movements. It seemed like they were imitating someone. When another figure vaguely appeared outside, they showed surprise and left in a hurry. At this time, a neutral voice slowly sounded in the center of the scene.
'I don't know why I have to be here. I am a free bird, and I should be able to fly freely outside. But my wings were broken and I was thrown into this inexplicable place. I should have my own world, my own career, and everything that belongs to me. But just because of arrogance and prejudice, I was sent here.'
'I am sure that I am a prisoner, and I am imprisoned in this terrible place. I have lost everything I pursue. There is only a monotonous scenery here. Everything here is so boring and disgusting.'
'Vulgar students, fighting and deceiving each other, so-called roommates, maybe some of them have sincere feelings, but many of them are just playing. They can't even remember the name of the person they called brother after a few years. Feelings and knowledge have always been such fragile things. So why don't you let me leave? I want to leave here. I want to stay away from school completely and become a free bird. I should fly in the sky, but I am suppressed in this cage. I shouldn't be like this. '
The voice said this to itself, and then disappeared.
The hazy mist around condensed and then spread out, gradually taking on some strange and hazy shapes.
Just like the scenes seen in nightmares, distorted words and books were looming in the silver mist, and sharp noises and shrill cries flashed by, as if cursing something that did not exist.
The frenzy lasted only a moment, and the calm returned immediately. The sunlight outside shone on the hall, and the students in the distance seemed to have finished their classes with the sound of the bell. There were twos and threes of people walking towards this side. They looked like there was nothing wrong, and even the dark red mark had disappeared.
But the mission record recorded everything. The fact that the mission progress had skipped a section indicated that the scene just now might be something crucial.
But if one can express it with illusions, or be dragged directly into illusions in this kind of game, then one must be at a certain level, right?
“…”
I activated the observation and generation skills, but found nothing except a bunch of footprints and nonsense.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just a hazy dream of Li Lin. Nothing had ever existed, and it was just an illusion he had created in his mind for this school.
But according to this nature, the curse will gradually deepen according to the degree of the marks triggered, and finally drag you into the illusion? Three so-called marks were triggered on the way to the dormitory. It seems that the hints given in this mission are probably not too few.
If it was a TV drama-style mystery story, it would be troublesome. Li Lin hated that kind of thing the most. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately served as an archaeologist and a detective. With these skills, he could conduct a perfect investigation, but if he just relied on his brain, he, who was full of thoughts about how to trick people, was not very good at it, not to mention that it was terrible.
The trap can be found immediately, but that is another matter.
"Let me see what these students and teachers are like..."
As his soul fluctuated to look for the past, Li Lin soon saw a group of people dressed strangely.
Maybe what the old principal said was right. They really recruited people without discrimination. Li Lin and Sally were probably the two most normal people in the group. The others didn't look like students at all.
There were barbarians with totems all over their bodies and bare upper bodies, living monks with lumps of flesh all over their heads, some mechanical men who looked like they were in pain and were half human and half mechanical, and some people who definitely did not look like students. They all walked along the path in an orderly manner, carrying student identification tags and with a blank look on their faces.
They all looked like diligent and studious students. Each of them held a textbook of different versions in their hands, and they looked at the knowledge recorded on it without raising their heads. They walked forward like puppets. Only an old man with two goatees on his lips walked in front, squinting his eyes and shaking the bell in his hand from time to time. The students behind him followed the old man with the goatee obediently, swaying along the path.
I'm afraid this isn't a corpse chaser.
After taking a look at the students, Li Lin curled his lips and immediately saw Sally in another direction.
Standing in front of Sallys was a man who looked polite but had a stiff and corrupt expression. The moment she saw Li Lin coming, Sallys's face changed from cold and murderous to a smile as bright as a flower.
"Sir, this way, this is our homeroom teacher~"
"Hello, I am your homeroom teacher, Wizard Riddle."
"Hello...are you a lich?"
Li Lin asked casually after touching Sally's head and looking at the unnatural spots that appeared on the teacher's body with a stiff expression.
"Yes, I am a kind lich. My life box is kept in the Holy Light Pool. The powerful positive energy allows me to think rationally and continue to complete my teaching work. I have always wanted to be a teacher. I didn't do it when I was alive, but I can do it after I die."
The lich teacher did not shy away from this and gave Li Lin a seemingly friendly smile.
But after listening to the introduction of the lich teacher, Li Lin showed a slightly weird expression.
A lich's phylactery soaked in a pool of holy light can keep the lich calm? You must have been maddened by now, right? Even if I don't know much about the occult and esoteric rituals, I know that these two things can't go together.
"The class will start in twenty minutes. Let's go to the classroom first. We need to study hard."
Looking at the watch on his hand, the well-dressed zombie pulled his vocal cords and spoke stiffly.
