Chapter 230 Automatic Sealing Machine

In the brightly lit bedroom, the two looked at each other.

"?"

That's right...

But Hyperion felt that if Count Augustine was controlled by Lan Qi, it would be a truly serious problem!

She already understood Lan Qi's code words.

This guy wanted to personally rescue Count Augustine.

Then take control of Count Augustine.

Obtain a sixth-tier bloodkin test subject at his mercy!

You are not a traitor, but the things you do are worse than a traitor!

"Stissella, you'll have to stay in this room for the next few days. Our playthrough can't reveal the fact that you've become our companion. On the surface, we're still mortal enemies, but we'll bring you three meals a day, and you can tell us if you need anything."

Lan Qi said to the priestess Stissella.

Stissella nodded obediently.

Although she knew that the challengers couldn't directly trust her, Lan Qi's words made her feel very comfortable and at ease.

"Hyperion, let's talk as we walk."

Lan Qi had already walked to the bedroom door with his notebook. His fingers gently grasped the doorknob on the door frame, and with a light pull, the ancient door hinge made a slight creaking sound. The thick door quietly opened, and a gust of skin-pricking cold night air from the castle corridor rushed in.

"Okay."

The two walked out of bedroom 203, and the door slowly closed and locked. The carvings on the back of the door cast mottled shadows under the corridor lights, as if telling the story of the years of precipitation in this era.

In the corridor on the second floor, sconces cast a warm yellow light, shining softly on them, lengthening their shadows.

"What exactly are you going to do...?"

Hyperion asked Lan Qi as they walked down the corridor on the second floor of the castle.

They walked side by side, the black wooden floor under them was filled with endless silence, and they could hear their own heartbeats.

"You think, sealing a bloodkin viscount counts as merit, right?"

Lan Qi turned his head and smiled as he looked into Hyperion's eyes.

"...?"

Hyperion's eyes were slightly stunned,

"Yes, that's right."

She knew that, in general, completing this more tortuous process of key reversal steps would add an achievement to the Shadow World's final score, which would also increase the overall score accordingly.

Taking the most exaggerated SSS rating achieved by the Purgatory Corridor Academy last time, Lan Qi made a lot of abnormal achievements that normal challengers could not achieve.

This time, their team must have completed some extremely strange achievements, but even Hyperion was not sure whether the final evaluation would be SS or SSS.

Under normal challenges, an A-level or S-level rating would already be the top, and anything higher would only appear if the entire Shadow World was made particularly outrageous.

Hyperion felt that Lan Qi might want to make a final sprint to get a big score and ensure a stable SSS.

But compared to the achievements that Lan Qi and Frey had already achieved, even if there were still a few scoring points that could be mined on Task Objective 2, how much impact could it have on the overall already exaggerated score?

"Hyperion, you also know, right? During the day, bloodkin hide in a safe place, sealing themselves in coffins to sleep, to ensure that they are not exposed to any sunlight and are not dug out by enemies."

Lan Qi carefully explained to Hyperion.

"I know."

Hyperion thought for a while and nodded.

This was indeed common sense mentioned at the beginning of the Shadow World.

The bloodkin themselves have sealing techniques that can protectively seal themselves.

"Then, if we can train the viscount and the coffin combination into a fully automatic sealing cycle machine, so that he repeats the 'unseal' - 'seal' - 'unseal' process for four days under my command, would that count as if I sealed the viscount tens of thousands of times?"

Lan Qi spread his hands triumphantly and explained with a smile.

If sealing a bloodkin viscount once counts as one merit, then in these four days, he must be immeasurable in merit!

"...?"

Hyperion stared at Lan Qi's emerald green eyes, her eyes widened.

Her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't make any sound from her throat for a long time!

Seeing the innocent smile on Lan Qi's face, Hyperion was convinced that Lan Qi had proposed a way to sacrifice merit and frantically farm ratings!

It turned out that the achievements they had previously achieved in this Shadow World were just paving the way, and the real rating farming gift package was just beginning.

Just like that, the corridor was eerily quiet.

They passed bedroom after bedroom, glancing through the windows, and could see the moonlit forest outside, like a sleeping giant beast, mysterious and serene.

The rows of portraits on the walls, those painted landscapes and portraits seemed to dance with their footsteps, their eyes seeming curious, leisurely, or even serious.

After Hyperion came to this Shadow World, because Lan Qi was by her side, she had not been afraid many times.

Now, because Lan Qi was by her side, she was very afraid.

"Lan Qi..."

"Hmm?"

"Nothing..."

The two reached the staircase, and their palms slid over the carved handrail, the traces of the years engraved on the stone were rough and cold.

After finding the traitor, the focus became on meeting the Holy Maiden of Destruction and Count Parokas. All of them no longer cared about the identities of the werewolf and the witch.

Now, in addition to Hyperion, who is known to be a witch, to unlock the seal of Count Augustine, they also need to find the werewolf.

Hyperion increasingly felt that Lan Qi had walked the path of two traitors in history in just five minutes.

Continued silence.

Stepping on the stairs paved with whole stones, each step made a slight echo, like the heartbeat of this castle in the middle of the night.

Soon, the two of them arrived on the third floor. A breeze floated in from the open window on the staircase, bringing the fresh and cool air of the night from the higher reaches.

"Lan Qi, I always feel like this isn't merit..."

Hyperion, who had been hesitating, finally expressed her thoughts euphemistically.

"Are we really going to make Count Augustine do sit-ups for four days..."

Hyperion muttered softly.

She was doing her best to save Lan Qi's humanity.

She remembered the first time she met Lan Qi, he at least seemed like a person.

Even in the third round of the entrance exam, when the two of them first cooperated, Lan Qi was still in the animal category.

Since that trip to the Purgatory Corridor Academy, Lan Qi began to sprint wildly in an unknown direction.

His condition seemed to be deteriorating again.

She couldn't imagine what Lan Qi would become after he mixed into the Resurgence Church and experienced the remaining two Shadow Worlds in the Blood Moon Calamity series...

"Don't worry, the specific work will be handed over to the Great Poet of Love and the clergy. We are only responsible for rescuing Count Augustine and sending him to the clergy. The work done by the clergy, the merit is directly distributed by the Goddess of Fate, officially certified."

Lan Qi explained logically.

Although the merit may be earned by the three clergy members as middlemen, the official channels, genuine products are trustworthy.

"When we have developed a fully automatic Count Augustine circulation device, it can also be recorded in the report "On Ecological Balance and Bloodkin Governance"."

Lan Qi even rubbed his palms in anticipation, feeling that this trip to the Shadow World was really full of rewards.

"?"

Hyperion was stunned again when she heard this.

She covered her face with her hands and gradually began to sob a little.

She had worked hard for more than ten years to be recognized as a person by the people of Ikrit, but she had ultimately encountered Lan Qi, and her dream was shattered.
