CH 125.2

She asked, “Have you been reading for nine days?”

Xiao Xue Ji nodded.

The automatic identification feature of Jiuge’s storage ring couldn’t even identify the words, but Xiao Xue Ji actually… could understand it?

Lin Xinghe suppressed her surprise and did not probe further.

The origin of Xiao Xue Ji’s identity was a mystery.

Her initial guess was that she was an unawakened cardboard stand-in who followed her to the villain school through a bug.

Now, this was live and everyone could see it.

The audience knew where Lin Xinghebrought the books from. If Xiao Xue Ji could understand the books, smarter individuals might start to get suspicious of Xiao Xue Ji’s identity.

She smiled calmly and said, “You must be very bored, so you have turned over everything you can in the room…” Before Xiao Xue Ji could speak, she quickly continued, “But it doesn’t matter. Just be patient for a while, I’ll take you out after I confirm that the surrounding environment is safe, okay?”

Xiao Xue Ji nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, “Okay, Mommy.”

Lin Xinghe left the portable space and returned to the examination room.

Her surroundings were still pitch black, and there was no movement at all.

It was also at this time that Lin Xinghe suddenly heard Xie Wuan’s internal dialogue.

“Strange, what kind of material is this wall, this illustrious one can’t burn it down?”

Lin Xinghe was overjoyed that she could hear Xie Wuan’s voice because it proved that Xie Wuan was not far from her . She immediately turned on her headlamp, and the surrounding darkness was immediately dispelled.

Lin Xinghe saw clearly the environment she was staying in. It was a boxy room with no windows and no exits.

The room was empty, and the ceiling and floor were the same silvery-white color as the four walls.

Lin Xinghe walked to the wall and knocked on the wall. It made a dull sound.

She pondered a little and took out her phone.

In this exam room, there was no ban on portable space, so the communication of mobile devices must be banned.

Just as she turned on her phone, she realized that there was already a lot of news from her group of four.

Fu Zhou: Anyone?

Fu Zhou: Jiuge? Lin Xinghe?

Jiuge: I’m here, where are you?

Fu Zhou: I don’t know, there are walls all around, and my talismans can’t destroy it.

Jiuge: Me too, it’s all walls.

Fu Zhou: The exam questions haven’t come out yet. It’s weird, they usually come out earlier…

Fu Zhou: Lin Xinghe, are you there?

Upon seeing this, Lin Xinghe initiated a multi-person video call within the groupchat.

Xie Wuan was the first to join.

Shortly after, Jiuge and Fu Zhou followed.

Lin Xinghe asked about everyone’s situation and found that everyone was in the same closed room with special, unbreakable walls.

Lin Xinghe went to check on the other candidates.

In the first competitive examination room, she had added the contact info of a group of classmates, which turned out to be most of the survivors.

She asked the people who were still alive to speak up.

She calculated that there were 18 people in the large group of classmates. Including their four-person team, Qi Qing, and the two in Xie Wuan’s infinite space, there were exactly 25 people.

After all, the previous competitive exam had fifty to twenty-five victors.

She asked about their situation, and it was exactly the same. Presumably, Qi Qing’s situation was similar too.

That was to say, at the moment the twenty-five candidates, except for the two who were staying in Xie Wuan’s space, were all in a closed room. According to Xie Wuan’s internal dialogue, it was very likely that they were all in the same place and separated by rows of walls.

At this moment, the dark room suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light.

At the same time, fine pinholes appeared on the ceiling, the floor, and the four walls, followed by a dense spray of cold water. The water smelled of disinfectant.

In Lin Xinghe’s portable space, there was a magic umbrella that blocked the rain. She had traded it for an alpine rimerose in that exam room.

As soon as she opened the magic umbrella, it immediately extended to form a sealed chrysalis shell that blocked the water in all directions.

Lin Xinghe sat inside and looked at her phone.

Everyone else was safe and sound, Xie Wuan, well, needless to say, Jiuge had a hair protection cover, and Fu Zhou also had a talisman set up next to him.

Xie Wuan said, “The water is non-toxic.”

Fu Zhou also said, “Yes, there is no poison, that is, it is ordinary disinfectant diluted with ordinary water, and it will take long periods of exposure for it to even damage the skin.”

Jiuge looked sad. Seeing Lin Xinghe’s magic umbrella prop, he immediately went to the plane store to place an order and bought one, covering his hair with it.

After about five or six minutes, the water stopped.

Lin Xinghe was a little sensitive to temperature and asked, “Do you feel the temperature has risen?”

Xie Wuan said, “The room temperature is thirty-five.”

Jiuge: “Thirty-six.”

Fu Zhou: “…What kind of examination room is this?”

Lin Xinghe commented, “The temperature seems to be still rising. Although it is hot, it is acceptable… Do you feel like you are in a sauna?”

Lin Xinghe went to the general groupchat to take a look.

Sure enough, she wasn’t the only one who felt this way.

After almost twenty minutes, the heat stopped.

Immediately afterwards, white mist sprayed out in all directions.

Lin Xinghe hid in her magic umbrella.

A classmate in the group was saying, “It smells like mint?”

“Yes, it smells like mint.”

It was also at this time that the exam prompt finally popped up on the bracelet——

Recapture the princess.
