CH 165

Jiuge’s audience was stunned.

【Wait …… wait? This is inside the green head? Isn’t that Ling Xiran!】

【Where is Jiuge?】

【Crap! The angle of view has changed! It’s turning! Quickly call SL’s audience over to see! Jiuge is the green head!】

【Crap, crap, crap, crap! Why did the candidate become an NPC character in the examination room? There’s never been a precedent for this before! Principal Wang is cheating, such an examination room is too damaging!】

【Suddenly got to know the viciousness of Principal Wang!】

【This test is not a question of difficulty at all, if you have to kill the green head to pass, then it means that Lin Xinghe must kill Jiuge, this is to make them kill each other!】

【Fuck!】

【Too cruel! I don’t dare to keep watching! The teammates who have cooperated in multiple exams are going to start killing each other?】

【SL! That’s Jiuge! Don’t do it!】

……

Lin Xinghe naturally didn’t see the pop-ups in the chat, let alone know if the livestreams still existed after the mix-up before the final battle.

She thought about about Ling Xiran’s proposal.

Her apprentice said that if she swallowed two more ghosts, she would be able to defeat the green head.

She believed in her apprentice’s strength.

She still hesitated a bit though.

Lin Xinghe asked Ling Xiran, “Can you talk to the devil?”

Ling Xiran said, “No.”

Ling Xiran asked Lin Xinghe, “What are you hesitating about, Master?”

Lin Xinghe said, “The way this exam is thinking, our solution should be correct, but from the exam-creator’s thinking, it shouldn’t be. The devil’s skill is very similar to that of a friend of mine.”

Ling Xiran did feel it was very familiar, after all, she had seen Jiuge’s skills with her own eyes on the cruise.

She said, “Is it the one called Rudolph?”

Lin Xinghe said, “Yes.”

Ling Xiran said, “How about I try to kill it? Anyway, it’s also an NPC, so it’s okay to kill the wrong one, we’re all NPCs.”

These words snapped Lin Xinghe awake.

She suddenly said, “You’re right, it’s okay if you kill the wrong NPC, you can resurrect it anyway, but what if it’s not an NPC? What if the devil is a student in the examination room? What if it’s my companion? Principal Wang may be trying to have me eliminate my allies, which is the worst possible outcome.”

Lin Xinghe was enlightened.

In this way, what she was confused about made sense.

Ling Xiran said, “Then I won’t kill?”

Lin Xinghe said, “I want to verify an idea I have.”

Ling Xiran: “What idea?”

Lin Xinghe: “I need a hair from the devil. You fight against him and I will take the opportunity to pull a hair out of it.”

Ling Xiran: “And then?”

Lin Xinghe: “DNA test.”

Audience:

【I didn’t expect SL to recognize Jiuge because of DNA.】

【I’m not sure she’s going to be able to get the DNA.】

【You’re stupid! The whole dog head is Jiuge’s hair!】

【The whole dog head is Jiuge’s hair!】

Lin Xinghe did not succeed in pulling off the green head’s hair with the help of Ling Xiran. But the green head also seemed to be anxious, so, simply by following him, she picked up several of the green head’s hairs.

She had the hair tested at a medical facility, and as expected, the green head was Jiuge.

Ling Xiran also knew that the devil was one of SL’s gay classmates, so she did not dare kill him.

If she did, he would really die.

Ling Xiran did not know what to do, so she had to turn to Lin Xinghe, “Master, what can we do?”

If she killed Jiuge, wouldn’t they be playing into Pervert Wang’s hands?

If they didn’t, how would Lin Xinghe pass the exam?

The stupid Wang pervert had really made a perverted move, leaving her master in a dilemma.

The audience concurred.

【It’s too hard!】

【This is a test of human nature, and this is clearly a blood debt for SL even if she wins!】

【I’d rather SL didn’t know it was Jiuge so that she could do it.】

【But if you do it this way, with Principal Wang’s character, he will definitely let SL know that she killed Jiuge, otherwise how can Principal Wang’s plan succeed?】

And at this moment, Lin Xinghe was showing a comforting smile.

She said, “That’s good.”

The crowd: ……????

Ling Xiran asked, “Good?”

Lin Xinghe said, “It is indeed much better to do it. Jiuge is in this examination room, proving that he is also a candidate’s identity. It can be understood that in this examination, Jiuge and I are allies, only his identity as an ally is covered by the green head, or the devil as you call him, the probability is that Principal Wang trapped Jiuge when he entered this examination room, so that he could not move freely once he came in ……”

“…… This examination room is not set up for me, it should be set up for Jiuge, only in this way can it completely trap Jiuge and prevent him from having any contact with me. All the keywords in this examination room are what Jiuge fears and dreads on a regular basis. I would venture a guess that in this examination room, the grand boss has a great probability of being the demon of Jiuge’s mind. The system is able to detect the minds of NPCs, so naturally, it can also know what NPCs fear deep inside, and Jiuge and I, in the end, are essentially NPCs.

Lin Xinghe paused and added, “So the next thing is much better, let Jiuge out of his predicament, and this examination room no longer exists.”

Ling Xiran: “…… to solve the demon of the heart of Jiuge?”

Lin Xinghe said, “In theory, yes, but it doesn’t have to be such a hassle. Since Jiuge is a candidate, not an NPC, he certainly won’t follow the settings. He only appears after 10pm and disappears at 5am, so where is he between 5am and 10am? Xiran, do you know?”

Ling Xiran:  “Once it’s daytime, my surroundings become dark, and I can’t see anything. Why don’t I wait for daytime and try to see if I can pry something out while Jiuge is weak?”

Lin Xinghe said, “That is not necessary. You stay out of harm’s way. Do not let Jiuge kill you, do not kill Jiuge, I can use the weapons of the modern world ……”

Ling Xiran listened with open ears, “What?”

Lin Xinghe: “You turn on location tracking, tomorrow I will come to you.”

Ling Xiran: “…… Right, why didn’t I think of that? I’ll turn it on now, master, I’ll wait for you to find me!”

Five o’clock fast approached, and Ling Xiran’s voice cut off.

Lin Xinghe looked down at the tracker on her phone, but the red dot on it disappeared.

But Lin Xinghe had another way.

After all, now she could use the resources of the whole country. She asked the ruler to get the hounds of the whole country, who, after sniffing Jiuge’s hair, started looking for Jiuge’s trail.

Lin Xinghe waited for the results of the hounds’ search.

Meanwhile, she was deep in thought.

She did not expect at all that Jiuge’s deepest fear would be this.

Jiuge must have also experienced many fictional worlds, and from the defense skills he possessed, he must have experienced a fantasy world in his “first life”. Generally speaking, people who had experienced worlds such as Eastern immortal cultivation and Western fantasy had great power and great responsibility. Why were the problems of modern society, including anxiety and becoming a corporate slave, his heart demons?
