Sky Eye Room.
Due to the collapse of the illusion, all the surveillance footage in the Sky Eye Room went black in an instant.
The referees were all stunned for a moment.
Then, the referees immediately started typing rapidly on their keyboards to perform an emergency operation and try to restart the screen.
However, it was no use.
The screen then became unresponsive.
Old Ji tapped the table with his finger and asked, "What happened? What's wrong this time?"
For some reason, the signal in the Sky Eye Room suddenly became extremely poor.
It seems something went wrong in the illusion, as if it was being interfered with by some kind of force.
The signal was restored, and the picture had barely returned to normal for a few seconds when all the screens went black again!
Even Professor Ji was speechless.
In all the previous years of the college freshman competition, "Sky Eye" had never encountered such a situation.
Unfortunately, this year, they've encountered every possible problem.
After trying for a while, a young referee was unable to restore the black screen and said helplessly, "Elder Ji, the Heavenly Eye System cannot reconnect. There may be a problem within the illusion."
Elder Ji frowned slightly and murmured, "Within the illusion..."
"Elder Ji." Another referee ran in from outside, and seeing that Marshal Sun was also there, he quickly saluted Marshal Sun as well: "Marshal Sun!"
Old Ji turned and glanced at the referee: "Aren't you the referee responsible for standing guard outside Hongye's meditation room? Why aren't you watching over her? What are you doing here?"
"Professor Ji, it's like this," the referee said. "Academician Hongye has woken up. She asked me to come and tell you that the illusion has been dispelled, and the third round of the competition is over!"
Old Ji was stunned: "What? It's over?"
According to his original plan, he wanted to let the contestants stay in that illusionary world a little longer and give them some more time.
He wanted to see if any other contestants besides Mu Xun could find the secret to the illusion and escape from it!
How did the illusion end so suddenly?
The referee said, "Because the illusion in the third round of the competition has already been broken by a player, the entire illusion has been forcibly dismantled in advance, and the competition can no longer continue."
"?!?"
Both Ji Lao and Commander Sun showed expressions of horror upon hearing this.
Besides them, all the judges, staff, technicians, assistants, and other officials in the Sky Eye Room also wore expressions of disbelief.
Old Ji was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, and then quickly confirmed: "When you say you're breaking the illusion... do you mean breaking the entire illusion? Not just discovering the loopholes and secrets of the illusion and escaping from it?"
Breaking free from an illusion and escaping from an illusion are worlds apart!
To escape the illusion, all you need to do is find that "back door".
This back door was specially left by Hongye for the contestants.
You can escape from the illusion by dying in it.
However, breaking through the illusion is the only way to truly break this illusion!
It is necessary to discover the core law of the entire illusion and then destroy this core point in order to have a chance to directly destroy the entire illusion!
This illusion was created by Academician Hongye Guifeng himself!
That's the dean of the Illusion Academy at Kyoto University! A national-level illusion master!!
How could her illusion be broken by a newcomer?
"How is this possible?" A middle-aged official suddenly spoke up, looking at the referee with a serious and earnest expression. "Are you mistaken? Academician Hongye is a level 20 illusion master! Although the illusions used in this competition are only low-level illusions, it's impossible for a novice contestant to break them!"
"Uh...this is what Academician Hongye said herself." The referee scratched his head.
He then took out a tablet and handed it to Professor Ji: "This is the report card for this round of testing given by Academician Hongye. Professor Ji, Marshal Sun, please take a look."
Professor Ji immediately took the tablet and looked at the results sheet on it.
"In this round, a total of 208 people successfully traversed the mountains and forests and reached the town..."
"Four people discovered the town's secret and escaped the illusion..."
"They are: Mu Xun, Hua Lingze, Fang Wu, and Chu Men."
When Sun Shuai saw Fang Wu's name, he was stunned for a moment.
He thought he had misread it.
After confirming twice, it was finally confirmed that it really was Fang Wu!
And it's not a case of the same name!
Although Fang Wu was a member of his military strategist, from the very beginning, Commander Sun never expected that Fang Wu would be able to pass this test.
After all, as Fang Wu's superior, he knew this child's personality better than anyone else.
He's straightforward by nature; asking him to handle such convoluted matters is really putting him in a difficult position...
Moreover, although Fang Wu is a very powerful martial artist and a perfect warrior, his weakest skill is breaking illusions!
I can't believe he actually passed!
"The only one who broke the illusion..." Old Ji's eyes sharpened as he read the name: "Lin Nai!"
The moment the name was uttered, the entire Sky Eye Chamber fell silent.
It was as if you could hear a pin drop.
The group of officials and high-ranking officials looked at each other in disbelief.
Commander Sun took the tablet computer from Elder Ji's hand and carefully checked it.
"Professor Ji... are you serious?" the middle-aged official asked in astonishment. "Academician Hongye's illusion was really broken by a freshman? This... this doesn't make sense..."
Old Ji said calmly, "That's what Hongye said, not what I said."
"Speaking of which, this woman Hongye Guifeng shouldn't be related to this kid Lin Nai, right?" Commander Sun held a tablet in one hand, stroked his chin, and pondered, "Could she have deliberately gone easy on him?"
Old Ji rolled his eyes at him speechlessly: "Just thinking about it, it's impossible!"
He had already thoroughly investigated Lin Nai's family background and origins.
Moreover, in competitions like the National Freshman Competition, it would be a serious crime for the teachers who set the questions to help the contestants cheat!
No one who sets the questions would take that risk.
Moreover, why would Hongye help Lin Nai cheat when they are not related?
We can't just save him because he's good-looking, can we?
General Sun grinned and said, "Hey, I was just joking."
"This... is unbelievable..." The middle-aged official seemed to still be in a daze of disbelief: "A freshman actually cracked an illusion created by an academician-level expert... Even if we write about this in the newspaper and send it to our foreign friends, they would probably think we are bragging!"
"By the way, Professor Ji," the referee said, "Academician Hongye wants you to come over. She says she needs to speak with you."
