Chapter 291 The Illuminati
With two more people around her, the station mission has made great progress, and Youxi has also had an appetite.
Boxed spicy chicken wings, original chicken, steaming fresh bone soup noodles, freshly cooked preserved egg and lean meat porridge, stocking milk tea, roasted pigeon, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, tartare pancakes, vegetable and fruit salad, mint fruit, boxed pineapple honey, boxed cherry tomatoes, boxed green grapes...
In addition to the staple food, she also took a lot of vegetables and fruits, and neatly stacked these boxes in front of Xing Min.
Xing Min: ...
Lin Wu:?
Youxi noticed Lin Wu's expression and smiled: "It's okay, he can finish it."
Xing Min: ...
When the three people in Youxi sat around the bar and started to eat dinner, it was dark in Tang Yatong and You Zhenzhen's place. According to the rules of their time layer, once it gets dark, they must go indoors with intact doors and windows, otherwise the SAN value will continue to decrease.
The two of them also figured out their time layer, which is "Light 2045.4.13", which is about 3 to 4 years behind Youxi Lin Wu.
Although almost no one went out during the day, there were still aboriginal students there. After searching and investigating, they got some information from them and learned that this period was the beginning of strange events in the school. It was also one of the contents written down by the parties involved based on hearsay when Lin Wu checked the diary.
For many years, there has been a church in Guangming Academy: the Illuminati.
The name is Guangming, but they secretly carry out dark and evil things. They worship blood and darkness and secretly sacrifice to a certain evil spirit.
This evil spirit was suppressed and sealed hundreds of years ago. It is rumored that the seal is located below the academy.
The members of the Illuminati wanted to completely release the evil spirits, and they had been planning for this for many years. For so many years, they had been using the academy as an altar, secretly offering sacrifices, which caused people to go missing every once in a while in the academy.
The resentment and wronged souls accumulated, and inexplicable supernatural events gradually began to appear, but because of the suppression of the Illuminati, the news was not leaked for the time being.
But over the years, one bloody case after another piled up, and the souls of the dead were trapped in the academy and could not leave. Supernatural events began to appear frequently, and even caused the deaths of other innocent students.
The incident really broke out during the time when Lin Wu was there before.
As for why the entire site was later split into different time layers, and why each time layer exists in an independent form and always circulates this time zone, it is currently unknown.
Fortunately, they don’t need to fully understand the ins and outs of the whole thing now. They just need to ensure that their SAN value does not return to zero, and find the hidden station within 22 days, and they can leave here.
You Zhenzhen: I got a few more puzzle pieces today, but even with the ones I got before, I couldn’t piece together a complete "key" that can cross the layers.
Because in addition to the time layer we are in, there are other time layers... fragmented, and there is a piece missing in each place.
You Zhenzhen said this because she knew that Lin Wu had already pieced together the complete key and went to Youxi.
She could fully imagine that during the time when Lin Wu lost contact, he must have worked hard to complete various tasks for the puzzle pieces in order to get enough rewards in such a short time.
You Xi: Don't worry, I have three people here now, and the danger level is greatly reduced. You guys continue to think of ways to get the fragments, and wait until there is news from Xiyuan.
When You Zhenzhen heard You Xi mention the new teammate, she couldn't help but speak again: Brother Wu, Brother Wu! Is the new teammate handsome?
Before Lin Wu answered, Xiyuan, who had been invisible before, suddenly sent a message in the group: Haha, can you not be so superficial?
You Zhenzhen: Just asking, why is it superficial? You didn't say that you were handsome before, why, are you afraid that the new teammate is more handsome than you and you will be outdone?
Xiyuan: Haha.
You Zhenzhen: It seems that I was right. Haha, you are superficial! Very superficial!
Xiyuan: ... Not as boring as you. I still have to investigate the hidden station. I'm busy.
After that, You Zhenzhen said a few more words, but Xiyuan didn't respond.
But Youxi received a separate message from Xiyuan on her phone.
Xiyuan: I am investigating the hidden station, but since you all think that the station is very likely to be in the time layer I am in, why don't you come over earlier? Xiyuan
: I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you a little...
Xiyuan: Didn't Lin Wu find a lot of puzzle pieces? Did he piece together my place? It's safer here than your dark place anyway. Why don't you come over together?
…
Every time Youxi wanted to reply, he would send her a new message, so that she didn’t know what to reply.
Youxi: Stop it, I’m eating.
Xiyuan: You are not here, I have nothing to eat or use here, I can only drink nutrient solution…
Youxi: …
Xiyuan: What does dot dot dot mean?
Youxi: …
Xiyuan: Humph, you like new things but hate old things…
Youxi: Stop it, I have adapted to the rules of this level, and I know how to get rewards. Even if I want to come here, I have to wait a few days and collect more puzzle pieces. There are Easter egg pieces at this site, and I may have to go to Yatong and the others. It is safe for the time being, and there will be no problem with the water supply. You can stay by yourself for a while.
Xiyuan: Got it. Then you should be careful.
The messages Xiyuan sent earlier were purely coquettish. He just wanted to chat with her for a while, pretend to be pitiful, and see if it was possible to deceive her - no, he wanted to persuade her to go over earlier.
After all, this was a station mission, and he couldn't be so ignorant as to cause trouble for her.
What's more, he was very confident in his face and figure. You know, he was a companion-type servant born to please his master. His voice and appearance were built to be almost perfect and impeccable.
He didn't think that any random newcomer could really beat him.

After dinner, Youxi began to count the rewards he had received when he cleared the field for Lin Wu to cross the layer.
Perhaps because of Xing Min's ability, her attack became extremely effective. In those ten minutes, she actually obtained five puzzle pieces, a cup of "life-saving coffee", a bunch of instant canned food and bottled water, 50 cubic meters of space, and an amulet called "Ghost Nemesis".
After being activated, this amulet can act on the human body or objects. If it acts on the human body, it can keep the human body "free from all poisons" within three days, which means that the SAN value will not drop.
If it acts on an object - such as her Tang sword, it can also make the Tang sword have the ability to cause damage to evil spirits within three days.
The amulet is not disposable and can be used three times in total, but there is a 24-hour CD time after each use.
However, the Easter egg fragments she wanted most, there is still no sign.
But as she and Xiyuan said, she has adapted to the rules of this time layer and knows how to get rewards. In the next few days, she plans to take Xing Min and Lin Wu to sweep everything in this library building.
So that night, when the three of them were resting in the tree house, when Xing Min again sensed something approaching, You Xi was the first to jump out of bed.
She directly activated the "Ghost Killer", and then let Xing Min cover her with a layer of light golden light, then rushed out of the tree house and began to actively fight against the visitor in the dark.
Five minutes later, the originally ferocious and evil ghosts retreated into the darkness with ghost cries and wolves howling.
If the ghosts could speak, those ghost cries and wolves howling roughly mean the following: Ahhhhh——that woman is crazy! She didn't sleep in the middle of the night and waited for us, and she just chopped and chopped when she saw us without saying hello! Ahhhh——why is she more ferocious than us! Who is the ghost? Ahhhhh!
Youxi shook the Tang sword in her hand, took out a towel to wipe it clean, and turned back to the tree house.
Inside the tree house, Xing Min was waiting for her. When he saw her walk out of the elevator, he removed the shield from her body.
Lin Wu also woke up - he was awakened by the howling of the vengeful spirits. He thought the other party was going to launch a large-scale attack, but when he rushed to the front of the glass wall, he saw that it was the sound of Youxi beating those things to make them howl like ghosts and wolves...
The effect of the Tang sword after blessing was very good. Youxi was so excited that she lost her sleep for a while. She waved to them, saying that she would take care of everything and let them sleep peacefully.
After she finished speaking, she sat down at the bar, took out a cup of hot cocoa and a portion of cloud cake, ate while opening her phone, happily checking the new rewards.

In the following days, You Xi, relying on the memory of the previous loss of SAN value, visited several forbidden places in the library building where evil spirits existed.
The little lady who always likes to dig out her eyeballs and lives in the mirror of the bathroom on the fourth floor, the little brother with very long hair who likes to hang on the chandelier on the sixth floor, and the "charcoal" who likes to stick himself to the wall in the purely negative area on the second floor where there was a fire, and whose bodies are so dry that you can't tell whether they are men or women...
When Youxi found the fixed positions where these vengeful spirits appeared, she began to kill them one by one. Soon she found that every time the time of this library was reset, the vengeful spirits that had been killed once would be resurrected with full health.
So at this time, she would give up the main attack position and let Xing Min and Lin Wu kill them in turn.
Sure enough, after the time was reset, the same monsters would drop rewards again when they were killed again.
The three people's relentless and repeated actions of killing monsters finally aroused public anger. One night, all the vengeful spirits in the library rioted.
They roared, some penetrated the floor and hung on the ceiling above their heads, some crawled out from the corners of the wall, some folded their bodies and crawled towards them on the floor like insects, and some opened their chests and took out their internal organs...
Because there were too many of them, even the building of the library was shaking. In addition, the sudden appearance of Youxi and his team was unprepared, and their SAN value dropped below ten in an instant.
Xing Min, who was resting most of the time, frowned slightly, quickly put on shields for the three of them, and then looked at the rioting ghosts: "She just spawned a monster, there's no need to make such a fuss."
The ghosts rolled and roared in anger, and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Xing Min shook his head, and countless thin blades of light appeared in his hands.
After a moment, the light golden fragments rose up like a blizzard, some fell down, some went up in the opposite direction, and more were like arrows, shooting into the darkness in all directions.
After a miserable scream, the rioting ghosts retreated, and the surroundings returned to peace again.
Under Lin Wu's astonished gaze, You Xi quickly came to Xing Min's side and stretched out her hand, asking for help: "Dizzy? Not dizzy?"
"Not dizzy." Xing Min smiled lightly and reached out to press her head.
**
One day later, You Zhenzhen and Tang Yatong, who were still busy in their own time planes, running around the entire academy looking for clues to trigger the mission, received Lin Wu's message at the same time: A small suggestion, if you have already spelled out the key to the "Dark 2048.2.18" plane, it is recommended that you stay here for a few days first. You
Zhenzhen: ? ? ? ?
Lin Wu: The way to get rewards here is relatively simple and direct.
Tang Yatong: Got it, I'll come now.
An hour later, the library, which had been silent in darkness for many years, welcomed its fourth and fifth visitors.
Because the time zone of the library had just been reset when Tang Yatong and her friends came, this time-space fluctuation attracted a large number of vengeful spirits again.
Xing Min had received a lot of rewards from the mass attack a day ago, so he said that he would take a rest in the next few days and only provide shields for others when they needed it.
So, when You Zhenzhen and Tang Yatong tried to step out of the time-space vortex, they found that the scene in front of them was divided into two screens.
One screen was near, where Lin Wu and You Xi were fighting and clearing unknown things on the wall and under their feet for them; the other screen was not far away, in which a man was sitting on a camping chair with a calm expression, drinking coffee in his hand.
Before You Zhenzhen could even utter the words "So handsome", she realized that her SAN value was continuously decreasing.
Xing Min raised his hand when he saw them appear, and a string of fine light golden streams flew towards them, and then formed a thin layer of light arc outside their bodies. You
Zhenzhen and Tang Yatong were very familiar with this kind of light arc, which should be a shield, but it was obvious that this shield could directly resist the attacks of the vengeful spirits, causing their SAN values to stop decreasing.
You Xi turned to look at them, motioning them to join the fight against the enemy: "Hurry up, such riots are rare recently. After this wave is over, I'm afraid we have to wait until the time is reset tomorrow before these things will have the strength to appear again..."
Tang Yatong: ...
