CH 38.1

After Lin Xinghe came out of the hidden room, she also let the NPCs out.

They were a little timid at first, but after seeing that ligui really didn’t hurt them, they were quite relieved and went to find a restaurant to eat at.

Lin Xinghe had no plans to hide the existence of the hidden room. Maybe someone would know what the walls and entrance were made out of.

She put the wedding dress, wedding shoes, and jewelry box back inside the wardrobe.

She didn’t plan to hide the painting of the bride either, so Fu Zhou hung it on the entrance to the hidden room.

Fu Zhou was slightly taken aback and asked, “Why do we share the clues we discovered with so many people? This is an exam room, you know that everyone is a competitor.”

Fu Zhou looked at Jiuge for answers.

Jiuge looked back at him, “I’m just a shield, don’t ask me” written all over his face.

Seeing this, Fu Zhou asked Lin Xinghe, “Can you tell me the reason?”

Lin Xinghe replied, “We have already found all the clues that we can possibly find, but we still don’t know what an alpine rimerose is. It’s better to brainstorm and see what students from different worlds can find. I installed several cameras here to monitor the situation virtually”

After hearing what Lin Xinghe said, Fu Zhou understood her meaning.

They seemed to be one step ahead of everyone else, but the new information they had was too complicated and full of contradictions. There was no clear path of reasoning at all.

It was better to let everyone think about it.

Fu Zhou was afraid that the students would destroy the monitors, so he added a layer of enchantment to the four security cameras.

Then, they went back to the bridge.

Lin Xinghe informed everyone over the intercom.

A large number of students swarmed at the entrance to the room.

Some girls tried on Lilith’s wedding dress and wedding shoes, but it didn’t work.

In the hidden room, the students’ voices overlapped, so they couldn’t hear what anyone else was saying at all.

Fu Zhou asked , “Jiuge, do you have any props to make voices clearer…” Before he finished speaking, Lin Xinghe whispered, “Shh, don’t talk.”

Lin Xinghe zoomed in on the screen and turned up the volume of one of the cameras.

Both the hidden room and the exhibition area around it were very crowded. There were also a lot of students crowding around the picture of the bride. Some used their brooms and swords to fly around, and they could not be seen at all in the surveillance.

Everyone was chattering.

“Aren’t these the alpine rimeroses?”

“Do we need to go to this place to find the alpine rimeroses?”

“It seems that there are more than fifty…”

“Let’s not say whether there are fifty or not. We have been on the boat for so long and finally found the clues relating to the alpine rimeroses! Where is this palace? Is it possible to see the alpine rimeroses just by finding this palace?”

“Where are the alpine rimeroses?”

“Is the bride the big boss? Or is the bride an alpine rimerose?”

…

Fu Zhou wanted to listen in on the key information, but everyone was talking about the alpine rimeroses so loudly that Fu Zhou couldn’t hear anything else.

He looked at Lin Xinghe.

Lin Xinghe stood quietly in front of the monitor, and he didn’t know what she was watching or listening to.

With so much noise, it was hard to tell what was useful information.

At this moment, Lin Xinghe zoomed in on the surveillance again. This time, the footage fell on two girls in the corner. Instead of crowding in front of the painting, they took pictures of the painting earlier and sat down on the lounge in the corner with phones in hand.

There was more than one camera in the exhibition hall, and Lin Xinghe adjusted another angle to spy on them more clearly.

They heard the two girls discussing—

“The bride’s wedding dress is beautiful.”

“This place feels familiar to me…”

“Have you been here?”

“No, I meant… Well, my previous world was a fantasy world. The heroine was a mermaid, the hero was a human prince, and I was a witch under the sea. I was born in and lived at the bottom of the sea and never left the ocean. Later, I was stabbed to death by the prince. It has been several years since I entered the villain school, and I think it is much more comfortable to live on land than in the sea. If I had known that living on land was like this, I wouldn’t have cared to stop the mermaid and the prince from falling in love—they could have done whatever they wanted, as long as I could live on land…”

“Was the mermaid princess beautiful?”

“Could the heroine not be beautiful? One glance could tell you she was the sun of that world, her vibrant hair and garish pupils and shining scales almost blinded my eyes. But the bottom of the sea was also beautiful. I raised a lot of brightly colored, gorgeous little fish in my underwater palace.”

“You mean your palace was under the sea?”

“Yes, and though the sea is not shown in the painting, but the alpine rimeroses, as well as the patterns and lights on the palace tiles, can all be found on the seabed.”

“…Could it be that the alpine rimeroses are on the bottom of the sea?”

“But the ocean is too big. If it’s really under the sea, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Usually, something like this would have huge monsters guarding it. I just finished fighting with the ligui and haven’t recovered enough…”

The conversation between the two girls reached the ears of everyone on the bridge.

Fu Zhou’s admiration could no longer be concealed.

… With so many overlapping voices, how could Lin Xinghe be able to accurately pinpoint such critical information!

At this time, Lin Xinghe lowered her eyes slightly, as if pondering something.

Fu Zhou didn’t say a word and just let her think quietly.
