Facing the Blood Clan's tough pressure, the Demonic Realm Inspectorate's attitude was to strictly follow the rules.

They escorted the Blood Clan envoy across the treacherous, frigid northern lands to the Demonic Realm and would accompany the envoy to the academy to investigate.

This Blood Clan envoy possessed a unique Blood Authority, capable of identifying humans disguised as demons.

If the Blood Clan envoy were to find humans within the academy, the leaders of Purgatory Corridor Academy would bear immense responsibility!

To appease the Blood Clan's anger, the demonic side might even sacrifice them directly.

Furthermore, to prevent the headmaster from interfering, the Department of Education had transferred him in advance, ostensibly for an important agenda, but in reality, to temporarily sideline him.

"According to predictions, the Blood Clan envoy will arrive at the school in a few hours."

The vice-headmaster's voice was full of exhaustion.

Currently, the only turning point for the academy was the Demon King's secret assistance.

Although, on the surface, the Demon King's attitude was ambiguous.

After all, from the Demon King's perspective, he absolutely could not openly help the school deceive the Blood Clan.

This would anger the Blood Clan and violate the treaty.

However, before the headmaster was transferred, the Demon King had secretly sent a message to him, stating that if the Blood Clan truly sent an envoy, the Demon King would also send a resourceful confidant to assist the school.

And if there were indeed lurking humans that the Blood Clan sought, then this special envoy from the Demon King's City would be the academy's last hope!

But even now, with the Blood Clan envoy arriving in a few hours, the special envoy was still nowhere to be seen!

"Special Envoy, where are you..."

The vice-headmaster rested his hands on the desk, his brows furrowed tightly, his expression troubled, his eyes seemingly searching for a way out of the darkness.

Now, all he could hope for was that the special envoy with the Black Jade Demon King token would appear quickly to help them deal with the Blood Clan envoy.

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Under the starry sky of the glass corridor skywalk, Lan Qi looked down at the certificate in his hand, his fingers gently stroking the text on its surface.

His gaze wandered back and forth between the Demon King's City residence permit and the black seal, his eyes filled with confusion and thought.

"This guy isn't a student?"

"Feels more like someone with connections."

Lan Qi muttered to himself.

It felt like inexplicably defeating a hidden monster.

Dropping some items with unclear significance.

"..."

Hyperion didn't know what to say.

Originally, according to the Shadow World's mechanics, this silver-haired demon should not have been killed in the safest place in the functional area, the Demon King's personally bestowed restaurant. Unfortunately, he ran into Lan Qi, the bane of all evil.

So it wasn't surprising that he had some strange things on him.

"Anyway, with a total of five class periods, for the next, third class period, we have to find a difficulty 3 classroom to try."

Lan Qi stood up and said.

Only in difficulty 3 classrooms was it possible to encounter high-level professor-level demons.

And only from these demons could they find out about the "high-level meeting" that the school had held recently.

Lan Qi looked at the mission objectives.

The current academy exploration level had reached 18%.

Earlier, the two of them had enjoyed more than an hour of wonderful dinner time in the second class period.

Entering the restaurant did not increase the exploration level.

This indicated that the functional area would not increase it.

And the other two teams probably each provided 4%, meaning they each entered and cleared a difficulty 2 classroom.

"Our progress seems to be a bit behind, we have to work harder next!"

Lan Qi cheered himself and Hyperion on with a sense of responsibility.

After all, if they failed to clear the Shadow World, it could cause natural disasters in the real world!

"Okay."

Hyperion looked at Lan Qi's natural smile, suspecting that he was just full and eager to continue playing at the amusement park.

She sighed and followed the energetic Lan Qi.

Why was the Shadow World's challenge like this? It was completely different from what she had imagined.

It felt like she was just playing with Lan Qi in a demon-themed amusement park.

Under the starry sky, Lan Qi and Hyperion worked together to move the silver-haired demon's corpse to the window.

The two of them worked together to throw it, and the silver-haired demon's corpse, like an arrow released from a bow, slowly fell into the endless Purgatory along the window of the transparent glass corridor.

As his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, only the empty glass corridor and the silent night sky remained.

Hyperion breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Qi had considerately lent a hand just now, not leaving the hard work to her alone. Now the demerit points deducted would be split between them, not all deducted from her.

The two leaned against the wall, chatting to pass the time.

Until the ancient and melodious bell rang again, filling the entire school and breaking the silence here.

The interface connecting the corridor seemed to possess life, and suddenly began to slowly rotate.

The sound of rolling and colliding stones was like a pendulum striking against steel, emitting a torrent of loud noises.

Soon, the functional area's corridor and the teaching area's corridor were reconnected.

During this process, the winding black stone steps extended downwards in a spiral shape, without any support, as if floating in the air.

And the environment around the steps was only an endless darkness, making it impossible to have any sense of direction.

After about ten minutes, the two saw Bachelor hurrying up the stairs.

His pace seemed a little hurried, and he carefully avoided the gaps in the steps as he ran.

"You two, I'm late."

Bachelor didn't dare to neglect Lan Qi and Hyperion in the slightest, and respectfully lowered his head.

"It's okay, Bachelor. Take us to a difficulty 3 classroom, preferably an art class."

Lan Qi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, very easygoing.

"Difficulty 3..."

A hint of surprise suddenly appeared on Bachelor's face, and then his eyes became full of shock.

They were suddenly increasing the intensity like this, challenging the classrooms with the highest difficulty in each department in the academy.

"You can just wait in the hallway then. I'll give you three credit coins as a reward."

Lan Qi spread his hands, he could see Bachelor's fear.

"!"

Bachelor was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously in thanks.

For some reason, he always felt that after Lan Qi and Hyperion came to the Demon King's personally bestowed restaurant, not only did their credit coins not decrease, but they also made a fortune like nouveau riche?

But in this strictly policed functional area, how could there be any possibility of the electric meter running backwards...

"Lead the way."

Lan Qi grinned.

Now he was so rich that he couldn't count his credit coins. There was no need to drag Bachelor through the level, it wouldn't hurt to give him a few at his own expense.

He only needed to stay with Hyperion, whose strength had already been enhanced to the fourth level by the limited meal, for support.

Lan Qi felt that as long as he cleared another difficulty 3 classroom.

The hidden crisis in this academy should become clear!
