forget the river mirror

Chapter 156
Seventh District, No. 1 Forbidden Area.

……

……

The mandrill's night attack was quickly repelled, and the deep forest was only noisy for a while, and then returned to silence again.

In the entire forbidden area, apart from the excited murmurs of the freshmen, there was only the rustling sound of the leaves being blown by the evening wind.

Lin Chuan was not in a hurry to hunt the mandrill, but quietly returned to the camp. Li Ce, the instructor leaning on the tree, just looked up at him and closed his eyes again.

This is not the first time for Li Ce to be an instructor. Every time in the military training of Chaofan Academy, some thorns will act alone, and he has long been used to it.

The instructor is not a nanny, what should be said has already been said, those students who do not obey the command will die as soon as they die, and the academy will not hold them accountable.

The purpose of the military training is to cultivate an elite squad. It is better for these thorns to die now than to drag their teammates to die together on the battlefield.

The heartless second bald man was already snoring. Lin Chuan glanced around and saw that the honest Qi Delong was still staring at Wang Miao, so he left his dark avatar on guard and entered the altar.

……

Inside the altar, Lin Chuan was watching the news from the spirit belt.

The host of Lingyin's system has temporarily reached the upper limit. In addition to continuing to practice and let Lingyin develop independently, improving Gouzi's strength is the most efficient way at the moment.

But this matter should not be rushed. It is enough to know that the mandrill is useful tonight. There is no need to leave the team so quickly and make too much noise. It is a better choice to make a fortune silently.

And after experiencing the restart of the dark soul last night, Ling Xiaoyou's side brought the news over.

It's just that Lin Chuan has been busy with the aftermath, and today he went directly to the forbidden area. It was only at this time that he took the time to think about Li Yueru's case for Xiaoyou.

During this period of time, Lin Chuan was not sure about passing the task of "The World of Immortals". In addition, during the online exam, he fooled Xiaobai, so Lin Chuan put all the time saved on Xiaoyou's side On the information that came over.

Before entering the altar, Lin Chuan always believed that Xiao You was his second personality, and did not really exist.

Even if he came to Xiaoyou to listen to him, he just thought it was a clear dream, so he didn't pay too much attention to the Mysterious Mirror World that Xiaoyou "conceived".

But now, from Li Yueru's case alone, Lin Chuan can infer many things.

Regarding Li Yueru's case, Xiaoyou didn't include any thoughts of his own, but just listed all the facts he knew.

Lin Chuan browsed quickly, and asked Ling to make a mind map.

For a top student like Lin Chuan, reasoning is the same as doing a question, except that doing a question is a causal relationship from cause to effect, while judging a case is from effect to cause.

The mind map created by Ling is very vivid, no matter which entry, he has restored it to its original appearance.

"Flower Fragrance...Zhu Li...Great Master...Yao Zhi..."

Lin Chuan quickly stopped in front of the model of Yuncheng representing Yaozhi, turned his head and asked:

"Is Nalan Yi the only one in the Yaozhi clan?"

Ling didn't reply in a hurry, but after consulting the information summarized before, he said respectfully:

"Old Ancestor, as far as we know, Nalan Yi should be the talker of the Yaozhi Clan, but as a big clan, I judge that the Yaozhi Clan must have other forces."

With Ling's affirmative answer, Lin Chuan's dual-core brain quickly started working.

There must always be a reason for killing people. Even beasts without intelligence will only hunt when necessary.

That Zhu Li should not have lied, but this matter is not so simple. If it is just that Yaozhi kills people because of their nature, there is no need to be in the realm of the Great Master. It is the instinct of living beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, whether it is a monster or a monster. Zhi, there is no need to provoke that person.

But when all the evidence points to the Yaozhi clan, then you only need to consider who will benefit the most from this matter.

And since that great national teacher can see through Master Yi Nian's formless method, he must be able to see that Zhu Li has been parasitized by Yao Zhi, then the reason why he kept Zhu Li is very clear.

Since the Great Master expressed goodwill towards Nalan Yi, there is no need for Nalan Yi to send someone to the academy to commit murder.

And Nalan Yi must not have reached the Guiyi Realm, otherwise there is no need to hide his identity and create rumors. In Kyushu, where the weak prey on the strong, fists are the last word...

It is impossible for the Great Master to kill his own students. Nalanyi is not a fool if he can occupy Yuncheng silently, and naturally he will not easily abandon his cooperation with the Great Master. There is only one possibility left...

Yaozhi's family does not want Nalanyi's family to dominate.

Lin Chuan is not sure whether his deduction is correct, but from the known information, this is the most reasonable result.

He put the deduction process into words, sent Ling's avatar to Xiaoyou, put the matter aside, and summed up the information of the Mysterious Mirror Realm with Ling.

……

Ling had already produced a 3D map of Kyushu according to Lin Chuan's instructions.

At this moment, the altar on Lin Chuan's side has been opened up to the location of the No. 1 forbidden area. From the ninth area to the seventh area, all the places Lin Chuan walked through have been automatically reproduced in the space of the altar. These places only occupy a small part of the altar.

In other places, it is still an endless wilderness.

Like Lin Chuan, as long as Xiaoyou walked through the place, it will be reproduced in his altar.

Lin Chuan first asked Ling to make a mandrill and threw it in the No. 1 forbidden area, and then added an extra plant to the location of Yuncheng on the map of Kyushu.

If you zoom in on these two large three-dimensional maps, you can find that almost every location has a unique mark.

In less than half a month after entering the seventh district, Lin Chuan had already marked the positions of the major extraordinary families in Xiantian City.

The Transcendent Tower in District [-], the black market, and the location of the IPC’s floating fortress are also marked. Even the custom shop called "Happy Home" that Jingxuan and Qi Delong always go to is also marked on the map.

On the other side of Kyushu, places like Zhuli's schoolhouse in Pingluan Academy, Yan Wushuang's mansion, Chuitian Cliff, and Yanwu Hall were all marked by Lin Chuan, and even Lingwu's mansion was also marked by him. Draw a small X.

The misunderstanding caused by Ling Wu, Xiaoyou's martial artist may have long been forgotten.

Naturally, Lin Chuan would not pursue it any further. He just recorded the location, thinking that after the empty mirror was broken, he would go to visit. A broad-minded person like him would never take revenge.

Just looking at Lin Chuan's familiar smile, Ling and An looked at each other tacitly, feeling a bit chilly behind them...

……

The morning sun shone through the dense branches and leaves, but Li Ce's expression did not look relaxed at all, but rather dignified.

Li Ce spent the whole night waiting in vain, before the mandrill's second night attack, it seems that these big horse monkeys just came to say hello to them, and then disappeared.

In the previous military training, these energetic monkeys did not stop like this.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. In the forbidden area, any change may hide a crisis. What Li Ce can do now is to stay vigilant and try to bring those obedient students out alive.

"Assemble in 15 minutes, move on!"

Li Ce's order came from everyone's earphones. After the night attack last night, the team had a tacit understanding.

Only the second bald man who took off his earphones was still snoring, and the rest of the team members quickly got out of their sleeping bags, and even the second-generation members started to tidy up their equipment in a daze.

Lin Chuan also withdrew from the altar, listening to Jing Xuan's snoring like that of the decoration team, he slapped his shiny forehead directly.

Er Bald, like a catfish thrown ashore, twitched for a long time before crawling out of his sleeping bag.

"Can you be like a human being?"

Lin Chuan looked disgusted, but Jing Xuan suddenly showed a solemn look:

"I'm still a little uncomfortable with this new body."

"roll!"

Qi Delong had already packed his backpack, and jumped to Lin Chuan's side with great agility, but before he could speak, he saw Erbald being kicked off the tree, and he was so frightened that he jumped down quickly.

The muffled sound of Jing Xuan falling to the ground attracted everyone's attention. Everyone didn't dare to speak, thinking that it was because of some unknown danger that he lost his life.

Li Ce also walked over quickly.

Seeing Jing Xuan lying on the ground upright, Xiao Qi carefully picked up a branch and slapped him on the shoulder:

"Brother Xuan, are you okay?"

"Hey, don't make trouble~"

Jing Xuan waved his arms, and changed into a comfortable sleeping position.

……

The episode in the morning didn't affect the team's assembly, but Jing Xuan, who caused public anger, was thrown to the front of the team by the instructor, and started to open the way.

Lin Chuan still played the role of honesty, and Qi Delong became Li Ce's most capable assistant, and naturally assumed the role of captain.

In the next two days, the team encountered more than a dozen mandrill attacks one after another. The least one was only three monkeys, and the most was a dozen or so monkeys.

Fortunately, with Li Ce's experienced command, the team did not reduce the number of members, but there were a few second-generation families who were slow to respond, and they even hunted and killed 7 mandrills.

Lin Chuan has also never made a move. A few mandrills can only improve Gouzi to a limited extent. There is no need to expose his strength because of this petty gain.

On the evening of the third day after entering the No. 1 forbidden area, the team finally reached the end of the military training.

……

This is a large open space in the deep forest. There is not even a single weed on the bare ground. If you look at it from the sky, it looks like a spot on the top of a person's head, which is very unnatural.

When Lin Chuan and the others arrived at the open space, other teams had already set up tents, and they were not the first team to arrive.

The second bald man took the initiative to go forward and chatted with several teams. After a while, some obscene laughter rang out over there. This guy is a pure social gangster, and he can enjoy it wherever he goes.

By the time Lin Chuan and the others set up their tents, the sky had already darkened. Taking advantage of this rare free time, Qi Delong led his team members to set up a bonfire after asking the instructor for instructions, set up a pot, and cooked Canned Meat.

The freshmen, who hadn't eaten hot food for three days, were quickly attracted by the smell of meat, and set up the pot accordingly.

Teams are still arriving one after another, but the people who arrived first are already full of food, and there are even a few teams with strong tastes, who directly grilled mandrill meat.

It wasn't until the moon climbed into the night sky that the last team arrived late. There were less than half of the 30-member team left, and all of them died.

Lin Chuan, who was already full, remembered to ask the Lingyin avatar to count the number of people, and found that the 40 freshmen had lost more than [-] people.

After marching in the forbidden area for three days, less than 2% of the casualties are already a very low number, but behind this cold number, there are dozens of lives...

Before Lin Chuan and the others participated in the military training, they had already been told that there was a risk of death, and Jing Xuan also found out that the mortality rate in previous years was about 5%.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you obey the instructor's command, you can almost survive.

It's just that it's hard to persuade the damn ghost, there will be some fools who can't help but take it into their eyes every time, not only ruining themselves, but may even drag other team members down.

"gather!"

The instructors didn't give everyone time to be sympathetic, as the floating fortress appeared silently above the open space, all the freshmen received the order to assemble.

"How come the floating fortress?"

"Didn't you say that military training lasts for a week?"

"Did someone die and the military training was called off in advance?"

"Heh, in the eyes of the academy, a freshman is a freshman, so there is no such thing as a big shot."

Obviously, the discipline of the freshmen needs to be improved. Although everyone subconsciously stood in the queue after hearing the order, the whispering in the queue never stopped.

Due to the pressure from all parties, Chaofan Academy started to expand its enrollment, but the age limit for freshmen has not been relaxed, so the oldest freshman in this class is only 20 years old.

Especially this year, there are a lot of second-generation families who "do not eat fireworks". Many people regard the Transcendence Academy as a university, and do not bother to find out the content of the military training in advance.

"quiet!"

Li Ce frowned and roared, the prestige built up in the past three days finally calmed down Lin Chuan's team.

"The first phase of the military training is now officially over. Thankfully, our team has not been reduced. I have scored the points based on the performance of each of you."

"The players who got ten points are: Qi Delong..."

Li Ce announced the scores with a blank face. Among the thirty players, only Qi Delong got the full score. Wang Miao scored 8 points.

Before everyone asked about the meaning of the scores, Li Ce explained:

"From now on, you will start the second stage of military training, survival..."
