The viewers in the live streaming room had no idea what Leo was thinking. Most of them thought that this top-ranked newbie on the Newcomer Ranking List had some mental issues. That kick just now, no matter how one looked at it, wasn't something a normal person would do, right? And in that situation, acting so irrationally, wasn't it too risky?
After the exam, there was a half-hour break. Linda and the others found Leo.
"Let's just say, when playing a dungeon with hell-level difficulty, can you be a bit more cautious?"
"What you did just now was really dangerous!"
"We're in a hell-level dungeon. One slip-up and we could lose our lives. The death of any one of us would be an immeasurable loss to the team!"
Leo shook his head. "I was just testing that teacher."
"The fact is — as long as we don't trigger the death trigger point, those NPCs will have a very wide tolerance for us!"
The death trigger point, a key phrase, immediately caught the attention of Linda and the other two.
"Brother, please explain in detail!"
Leo glanced at both sides of the corridor, and after confirming that there were no teachers or the like among the people passing by, he said in a low voice, "Haven't you noticed?"
"That female ghost teacher kills according to certain rules."
The three of them were confused. Rules? What rules? Didn't she just randomly pick a lucky person to be beheaded?
Leo led the three of them to the playground. This place had a large number of people and a spacious area, and more importantly, it had a wide view.
"During the lunch break at noon, Linda took us to the lawn on the first floor. I observed a total of 8 classes."
"The number of people in each class is no more than half of the number of seats, and the closer the class is to the front, the fewer people there are!"
"Just now, I handed in my test paper early and went to the second floor to check. I found that the fourteen classes on the second floor were in exactly the same situation as those on the first floor."
"Our class is the one closest to the stairs on the third floor, and it can be considered the first class in order. For the classes behind us, the number of seats is the same as the number of people, but in our class, there are already quite a few empty seats!"
"Suppose... I mean suppose."
Leo analyzed, "The death of the students is caused by a certain curse. Then the curse spreads from the first floor, like a kind of virus, infecting class by class. Now it has just spread to our class."
"This curse has created a certain rule, and anyone who violates this rule... will die!"
"Think about it. I made a lot of noise and kicked the head of the classmate in front of me away, which can be considered disrupting the order of the examination room. But even so, the invigilating teacher didn't do anything to me... Instead, that chubby guy in front of me was beheaded out of the blue!"
"He must have done something... Those dead students should have all done the same thing and met the same condition!"
"And if you were observant enough, you would have noticed that the test papers and scratch papers on the empty seats were all blank, with no writing on them, and the test papers in the hands of a few students just now were also blank... In the end, all those students with blank test papers were killed."
Although Leo didn't witness the female ghost invigilator kill all the students, he was sure that his speculation was correct.
Linda looked at Leo in surprise, looked around, and then said with a hint of admiration, "I noticed that too!"
"The female ghost invigilator killed all those students whose test papers were blank!"
"There were seven of them in total!"
"Could it be that... that test paper is the death trigger point?"
Leo shook his head. "You're still too naive."
"The test paper isn't the death trigger point."
"Judging from the situation of the last dungeon I completed, even in a dungeon with hell-level difficulty, just to complete the main task, it won't be extremely difficult. The really difficult parts are exploring the side quests, hidden quests, and the world view!"
"So since the difficulty of the main task has been limited, it means that players can have some control over it. If the test paper were the death trigger point, wouldn't players just have to leave everything to fate?"
Linda was left speechless.
Zhentao's lips turned pale, and he said in a sobbing voice, "You've said so much. Why don't you just tell us what the death trigger point is directly?"
"I don't want to die..."
"I really want to get out of this place quickly!"
Even now, his mental power hadn't recovered yet and was still hovering around 60. Apparently, that bloody head that Leo had kicked onto his desk had caused extremely serious trauma to his young heart!
Leo touched his nose. "At present, I don't know what the death trigger point is either. Although it's not the test paper, it's very likely related to the test paper."
"Maybe it's the grade, or maybe... something else."
"And there's one thing I need to tell you in advance..."
As he said this, his eyes became terrifying. The other three were intimidated by his expression.
"Wha... What is it?" Linda swallowed hard.
Leo: "I'm not kidding... This school... is very likely..."
"Only the four of us are alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhentao kicked his legs and fainted directly on the ground.
Leo: "..."
Everyone else: "..."
...
Live Streaming Barrage:
"Pfft! Brother Zhentao is so pitiful... Please don't scare him anymore!"
"This is a bit like personal grudges!"
"Hey... Do you think what Leo said could be true?"
"How could it be true? Look at those students on the playground. They're so lively, jumping around. How could they be ghosts?"
"Exactly! If the ones in the classroom were ghosts, wouldn't it be ghosts biting each other?"
...
Linda rolled her eyes helplessly. "Stop scaring him!"
"He's already timid!"
"Anyway... What should we do next?"
This dungeon made her feel at a loss. The time wasn't tight enough. The rhythm seemed rather loose.
Leo looked towards the teaching building in the distance. "Wait."
"Wait for what?"
"Wait until it gets dark."
"Why wait until it's dark?" Linda and Lubai were puzzled.
Leo countered, "Then do you think, with our current identities as students, do we have extra time during the day to investigate the information we want to find out?"
Linda was at a loss for words again. Damn it! Why didn't she think of such a simple question? With so many people watching in the live streaming room, would this make her look stupid? No, she had to find a way to pretend to be smart! Otherwise, the viewers in the live streaming room would all leave soon. By the way... Is this what the top-ranked player is like? He seems to be really something!
"Alright, shall we set a time and place tonight and go out for a stroll?"
As soon as Linda finished speaking, Zhentao, who was lying in Lubai's arms, raised his hand and stared straight at the white clouds in the sky. "Let me interrupt... Um, can I not go?"
"I'm afraid of running into ghosts."
Leo nodded. "Of course you can."
"But I'm warning you. If you hear or see something when you're alone at night, don't scream!"
"No one will come to help you because we won't be around."
Zhentao shivered and said with a bitter face, "Brother, stop scaring me. I'll go!"
"I'll go, okay?"
