Chapter 387: Lamp God

"He actually knows?"

"Does the high priest in front of me really know everything?"

"No, absolutely impossible!"

"But to the question I just asked, it's obvious that only I know the answer."

"So the most likely possibility is that the high priest has some kind of ability and got the answer from me."

In shock, Sun Chengxuan's brain was working at high speed, trying to pry into the secrets.

Although this question was originally a test, when the conclusion came out, Sun Chengxuan couldn't help but feel despair.

If his conjecture is true, then "the high priest can answer all his questions that he knows the answers to."

…

"Question: On this day 30,000 years ago, how many moons were in the sky?"

The high priest paid no attention to Sun Chengxuan's shock and directly raised his question.

The moment he heard the question, Sun Chengxuan was immediately stunned.

If he had lived 30,000 years ago, this problem would have been for nothing.

But now!

Wasn't there a moon in the sky in the old days?

Damn it, he didn't know anything about the old days.

Although Sun Chengxuan wanted to take a guess and take a gamble.

But in the end, in order to get a positive answer, he gave a conservative answer.

"On this day 30,000 years ago, there was only one moon in the sky."

…

After Sun Chengxuan finished answering, he stared at the high priest.

"wrong answer!"

"You need to pay the price of your last question!"

The high priest slowly stretched out his hand and touched Sun Chengxuan's body.

At that moment, Sun Chengxuan could not move at all and completely lost control of himself.

…

"Is this, my hand is gone?"

The moment the high priest touched Sun Chengxuan's body, the latter's left hand immediately turned into gray and black, resembling the Fool's Stone in a strange space.

But at the same time, a vast picture also appeared in Sun Chengxuan's consciousness.

In the deep sky, three bright moons hung high, illuminating the world below.

This vast scene is what it looked like at night 30,000 years ago.

The high priest did not let Sun Chengxuan be a fool, but "gave the correct answer to the question."

[On this day 30,000 years ago, there were three moons in the sky]

…

"Damn it, I clearly know the answer to the question I asked, but the price is still one hand."

“Wouldn’t it cost me more if I didn’t know the answer to the question?”

"As for answering the high priest's question, it's basically impossible."

"How can I possibly know the answer as long as this bastard keeps asking me about things from the old days."

Although he had gained some secrets from the old days, Sun Chengxuan now had no joy at all. Instead, he was shrouded in endless despair.

Even if he tried to delay with simple questions, he would be completely turned into a stone statue within a few rounds at most.

In this case, he can only continue to gamble once!

…

This time, Sun Chengxuan planned to ask a question that he didn't even know the answer to in the New Calendar Era.

But out of "caution", this issue cannot be too important.

Otherwise, if the high priest really answered, he would be directly eliminated.

…

"Question: What was my neighbor Wang Daming thinking at this moment 10 years ago."

The questions Sun Chengxuan raised this time were definitely carefully calculated.

First of all, he didn't know the answer to this question.

Secondly, his neighbor had been dead for several years.

In other words, theoretically speaking, no one can know the answer to this question except Wang Daming, who is already dead.

Even if Wang Daming were alive, he might not be able to remember it.

Sun Chengxuan wanted to see if the high priest knew the answer.

…

"At this moment 10 years ago, your neighbor Wang Daming was thinking about how to kill you!"

Faced with Sun Chengxuan's "difficulty", the high priest still gave the answer expressionlessly.

And at the moment when the high priest answered, a memory appeared in Sun Chengxuan's mind out of thin air.

Those were vicious thoughts, all of them planning how to kill a person named Sun Chengxuan.

…

"This, this, how is this possible?"

"I have such a good relationship with Wang Daming, how could he want to kill me."

"No, I was fooled!"

"I don't know the answer to this question, so can the high priest just make up one?"

"Anyway, I can't tell whether it's right or wrong."

Sun Chengxuan suddenly shuddered, and he finally understood a rule that the high priest said before.

[No matter what kind of question you have, I can give you the answer].

…

Damn, this bastard said he could give the answer.

As for whether it was the true answer, when Sun Chengxuan knew the answer, the answer given by the high priest was naturally true.

And if Sun Chengxuan doesn't know the answer to the question, who can know whether the answer given by the high priest is true or false?

Anyway, the rule is [give you the answer].

…

Sun Chengxuan, who wanted to understand all this, immediately realized that the rules of this game were not fair from the beginning.

That's right, school rules are so weird, let alone school rules that are out of control.

This is purely a joke!

"No, I absolutely cannot admit defeat!"

"As long as there are rules, there must be a way!"

"So to really break the situation, what I have to do is [raise a question that the high priest cannot give an answer to]"

Sun Chengxuan felt that he had understood, and the next moment, the high priest began to ask questions.

…

"Question: How many types of intelligent life lived in the inner world 30,000 years ago?"

The high priest once again issued a torture question. Faced with this question, Sun Chengxuan simply lay down.

How could I possibly know this?

I only know that in the current inner world, only human beings, a kind of intelligent life, exist.

So Sun Chengxuan randomly guessed a number as the answer.

【237 types】

Of course, he was not making this up randomly, but was conjecturing based on his experience as a [supervisor].

…

"wrong answer!"

"You need to pay for the answer to the previous question!"

The high priest touched Sun Chengxuan's body again, and the latter's lower body directly turned into gray-black stone.

At the same time, a thick encyclopedia appeared in Sun Chengxuan's mind.

It was a hunting guide compiled by the Fourth Heavenly Dynasty, which listed a total of 327 species of intelligent life.

Sun Chengxuan couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he didn't guess too accurately.

If the answer was only one or two different, he would probably regret it to death.

…

"Question: How can I cut off the [Sword of Judgment]!"

Although his lower body was completely petrified, Sun Chengxuan, who was forced into a desperate situation, became even more motivated.

He thought he had found the key to breaking the situation.

Who should be least messed with in the Inner World?

That must be the Sword of Judgment, which refers not only to the organization "Sword of Judgment", but also to the real "Sword of Judgment".

…

It is said that the divine sword has a very bad temper, and it can sense whoever speaks ill of it behind its back.

Anyone who has malicious intentions and is too blatant will be killed with a sword in the head and beheaded directly.

Sun Chengxuan didn't believe that the high priest dared to provoke the [Sword of Judgment].

If he really tells the weakness of [Sword of Judgment] personally, what awaits him will definitely be a blow to the head.

It's not that Sun Chengxuan looked down upon the high priest. If this man were the real high priest at the Wentian Ceremony, he might really dare to go toe-to-toe with the sword of judgment.

But the current high priest is nothing more than a strange thing.

What about school rules?

Even if all the school rules of Tianwu Conjuration Academy are complied with, the Sword of Judgment is one for each sword.

…

"I will definitely win!"

Sure enough, after Sun Chengxuan asked the question, the high priest fell into deep thought and did not give an answer immediately.

However, before the smile on Sun Chengxuan's face bloomed for a second, the high priest actually spoke.

[The human heart, the human heart can cut off everything! 】

I don't know if it was an illusion, but at the moment when the high priest answered, Sun Chengxuan had an illusion in his eyes.

The high priest turned into a monster with a human body and an octopus head.

But in the next moment, it immediately returned to the same state as before.

…

"Holy shit, can this still happen?"

"This is crazy..."

"It's really deceiving the weak and afraid of the strong, avoiding the important and taking the easy, treacherous, so treacherous!"

After hearing the answer given by the high priest, Sun Chengxuan felt like five thunders were hitting his head, and he was instantly stunned.

Is the answer given by the high priest correct?

On a certain level, that's true.

The combined hearts of hundreds of millions of people can definitely break the [Sword of Judgment].

But this answer is completely evasive and makes no sense!

Do Skull and Bones hate the Sword of Judgment?

Do you want to break it?

Of course they hate it, of course they want it, but even if they know that people's hearts can be cut off by the [Sword of Judgment], they can't do it.

So this answer poses no threat to [Sword of Judgment], so it naturally doesn't bother to pay attention.

This high priest is really an idiot!

…

At this moment, Sun Chengxuan was extremely convinced that the high priest was definitely not a stupid mechanical thing.

Even if this thing is not a real life, it is definitely not a dead thing in the conventional sense.

The new method distinguishes life and non-life based on the presence or absence of spirituality, but non-life can also perform logical operations, such as artificial intelligence.

This high priest is quite a scam!

…

"Question:..."

The high priest issued the final fatal torture. There is no doubt that the third question is also related to the old times.

Naturally, Sun Chengxuan couldn't answer.

So, after paying the price of the previous problem, he completely turned into a gray stone statue.

In the underground laboratory, it seemed like nothing happened.

The high priest never seemed to appear. Only Sun Chengxuan stood quietly, and he didn't know when he would be discovered.

…

"Hahaha, Senior Sister Shen Yuying came out of seclusion early!"

"I've been really lucky recently!"

"In this way, this wave of promotions of true seeds can be considered completely over."

"There are a total of 10 true seed seats available, which is definitely a great event."

"Although I have little qualifications, I occupy a position. There shouldn't be any objections, right?"

Thanks to the emergence of Shengxian Island, otherwise there would never have been so many empty seats for true legends this time.

In the past, although Chen Qi was very confident in himself, his competitors were all "old seniors" and he really did not have an advantage in terms of qualifications.

If there are only one or two true seed seats, even Chen Qi will inevitably have to fight for the top spot.

Now, the difficulty has been somewhat reduced.

…

It was also a true inheritance seed promotion, so Shen Yuying naturally had to take care of it a little.

Unfortunately, Chen Qi was caught as a young man and was sent by Nantian Society to work as a handyman in Shen Yuying's manor.

Fortunately, Nantian Society is worthy of being the third-ranked society, and the working treatment is very good.

After Chen Qi went there, he ate several vitality fruits alone.

As for other similar exotic flowers and fruits, Chen Qi also reluctantly tasted them.

As for his job, it was mainly to command Su Xiaomeng and others to run around, and he was responsible for various reception and communication matters.

…

Shen Yuying is worthy of being a good senior sister. The first time she saw Chen Qi, she pulled him into a private section called [Lamp God].

[Lamp God] is the code name of the big man who created this private section.

Unfortunately, because he went to the outer ring world and has not returned yet, Chen Qi’s opportunity to ask questions can only be left for the future.

But senior sister Shen Yuying said that the moderator is very generous and will bring some local specialties every time he comes back from the outer ring world.

Newcomers like Chen Qi will also have extra gifts.

Chen Qi is looking forward to this.

…

There are a total of 17 members in the private section.

After Shen Yuying completed the promotion, the only ones below the silver level were Chen Qi and another elite student Wu Daoqi.

So under the high-profile discussions of a group of bigwigs, Chen Qi and Wu Daoqi, the two little shrimps, naturally became familiar with each other.

Unlike Chen Qi, who was "selected" for his talent and identity and joined this private sector.

The reason why Wu Daoqi was able to join the Nantian Society and even get into the private sector was because of his invincible luck.

…

In a sense, Wu Daoqi absolutely meets the setting of the "protagonist" in the Shuangwen novel.

He was poor since childhood and fell into poverty all the way. He was able to step into the extraordinary world by chance.

Wu Daoqi's talent for cultivation is very ordinary, but he can't resist his good luck and opportunities. He was "recommended" to the top ten super magic schools.

That's right, Wu Daoqi is a special student. By chance, he met the [Deng Shen] who returned from the outer ring world, and was specially recruited to the Tianwu Magic School.

…

After entering the hospital, Wu Daoqi did not shine too brightly.

He was even unknown in the academy.

If Wu Daoqi's greatest advantage is to be "very clear about himself".

He always felt that he was just an ordinary person, but his luck was a little better, even to the extent that he was "scared".

Wu Daoqi had no sense of being a child of destiny, but was timid to death.

Since joining the Tianwu Spell Academy, he has been completely flat.

Unless necessary, he has never left the Tianwu Spell Academy for decades.

Because only in the academy, he feels that he lives like a person, an ordinary person.

Instead of being like a puppet, "opportunities and disasters".

He doesn't like that kind of life at all.

…

Perhaps because they both have the experience of being ordinary people, Chen Qi and Wu Daoqi can talk unexpectedly, and they feel like confidants.

After all, Chen has always regarded himself as an ordinary person with a sense of justice.

It has to be said that the big brother is kind-hearted. Wu Daoqi, like Chen Qi, was sent by the club to help.

But compared to someone's sneaky tricks, Wu Daoqi worked much harder.

After confirming that the other party might be an "honest man", Chen Qi completely let himself go and strolled around Shen Yuying's manor all day.

Eating fruits and enjoying the beautiful scenery, he was so happy.

...

"Junior brother, I found out what you asked me to find out!"

"The other two nominations in the club were given to Liang Junrong and Zenina!"

"They are almost elite students of the same period as me."

"Their strength is unfathomable. There are even rumors that if it weren't for the true seed seat, they might have been promoted to silver apostles!"

"Of course, I think this is a bit exaggerated. It's not so easy to be promoted to silver apostles. They should be a little short of the fire."

For the true seed election, each club has three nominations.

Naturally, Chen Qi locked one early.

…

But Chen Qi had just joined the Nantian Society, so he was naturally not well-informed about the other two places.

Fortunately, he met Wu Daoqi, who was recognized as a good guy in the society and had good relations with various factions.

Chen Qi asked him to find out and got the result immediately.

…

"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious, because all the clubs are still competing for places."

"The final list of candidates will be announced in about a month!"

"In our club, except for your fixed place, Liang Junrong and Zenina both have other challenges."

"So when the final list is announced, there may be other changes."

Wu Daoqi is indeed an honest man, and he does things without leaks.

After hearing that the other two candidates might be replaced at the last minute, Chen Qi immediately lost interest.

He originally wanted to get to know them in advance. After all, they all came from the Nantian Society, and they could still stick together in the initial stage of the election.

But now, as Wu Daoqi said, there is no need to rush.

…

Chen Qi was quite leisurely eating and drinking in Shen Yuying Manor, and strange things were happening in the freshman villa area.

Sun Chengxuan was not the only one who ignored Chen Qi's previous warning of "filling the hole".

Soon, the other two freshmen who had also entered the strange space also turned into gray stone statues in their underground laboratories.

But the strange thing is that the other freshmen who have not entered the strange space and continue to dig holes do not see the high priest in their laboratory.

Instead, Di Xuelin, who had filled up the laboratory and came ashore honestly, met the high priest again in his study.

…

"Untouchable, I am the omniscient messenger of heaven."

"You are honored to be given the opportunity to ask me questions."

"No matter what the question is, I can give you the answer."

"..."

The same rules of the game were once again spit out from the mouth of the high priest.

Like Sun Chengxuan, Di Xuelin was also shocked when he saw the high priest.

But it is also impossible to escape.

With no choice, he could only start playing games with the high priest.

…

Three minutes later, Di Xuelin's body completely turned into a gray-black stone statue.

He became the first freshman to die on the ground.

Unfortunately, it was normal for students to not show up for several days, and his corpse obviously couldn't stink anymore.

But he didn't know when his death would be discovered.

…

Within the Tianwu Curse Academy, as the news spread that the True Seed Competition was about to begin, the academy became increasingly lively.

Those elite students who were on missions outside have returned one after another, and they are the main force in this true seed election.

But first, they have to qualify for nomination.

You can imagine how envious and jealous Chen Qi, who has locked in a spot in advance, will make people.

After all, he is just a new student at school!
