Chapter 213 General Knowledge
Under the King's Campus, deep in the ruins.
On the fifth floor of the ruins, at the entrance of the stairs leading to the sixth floor, Claudio stood on it and closed his mouth, ending the spitting of poisonous gas. Then he looked down silently at the purple-red mist that almost filled the entire corridor on the lower floor.
"If it gets this bad, no one will be able to survive..."
Claudius murmured with his hands behind his back while staring at the purple-red poisonous fog rolling below.
As Thorn's superior, Claudius was naturally clear about the structure of this underground ruins. He knew that this ruins only had six floors, and the sixth floor was very small. It was just a long corridor with an enclosed room at the end of the corridor. That room had no other exit except the way they came in. That was the end of the entire ruins.
Therefore, Claudius knew clearly that when the invaders were blocked on the opposite side of the ruins, they would have nowhere to escape. Claudius could even ignore them and let them die of thirst and starvation inside. However, in order to ensure the death of the invaders and not give them time to struggle for survival, Claudius chose to release poison gas.
Now, Claudius was sure that the poison gas he had used up a lot of his spiritual energy to create had filled the entire sixth floor. Under this concentration of poison gas, the other party would have no chance of escaping.
"Hmph... I really want to see... the final death of that extraordinary person who can use the voice of violence. He slowly died of despair in a closed space. His final expression must have been very interesting. What a pity..."
Claudio snorted coldly, then he turned around, his body was wrapped in a black shadow, and he turned into a bat and flew away.
The invading enemies have been dealt with, and now he needs to go back to oversee the construction of the base. The Eight-Pointed Nest is not ready to give up here.
…
In the dark corridor, Dorothy walked slowly forward under the illumination of her corpse's lantern. After passing through the strange wall, she came to the new space hidden in the ruins.
Although it seemed that Dorothy had hit the jackpot to suddenly discover the secret passage at the critical moment, in fact, Dorothy was not surprised at all. She had already expected such a situation to occur.
According to Beverly, the remains of the Star Number Book Society have been plundered by several gangs in turn. Logically, there should be nothing left.
Beverly knew the situation of the ruins, and Oddrich must have known it too, but he still recommended Dorothy to come here. This proves that in the eyes of an extraordinary person like Oddrich, who is sincere and has almost golden qualifications, Dorothy will definitely gain something from coming to this empty ruins.
What kind of situation could allow Dorothy to find something in a ruin that has been searched countless times? Of course, in this ruin of "Revelation", there may be something that only extraordinary people of "Revelation" can touch.
Odd Fetch had also been to this relic. As an auxiliary "inspiration" extraordinary person, he must have sensed something hidden but was unable to touch it, so he asked Dorothy, the main "inspiration" extraordinary person, to give it a try.
And this is why Dorothy did not control the corpse remotely this time, but chose to take the risk and go down in person, because she had to explore the ruins herself and find the secrets that might only be found by extraordinary people of "Inception".
Therefore, Dorothy was not surprised by the secret passage. Instead, she complained that she had been searching for so long and only finally discovered it.
"Huh... Anyway, we've finally arrived. I hope there's a way out..."
Muttering this, Dorothy continued to walk forward. After a while, she finally walked through the corridor and came to a room.
Dorothy asked the corpse doll to hold the lamp and illuminate the surroundings. The scene in front of her gradually appeared in front of Dorothy, and then she frowned slightly.
What appeared before Dorothy's eyes at this time was an extremely messy circular room with broken and collapsed pillars, shattered statues, and all kinds of rotten metal objects on the ground. In the center of the circular room, there was a complicated magic circle engraved. At the center of the magic circle was a "Qi" symbol. Surrounding the "Qi" symbol were five other spiritual symbols, but they were smaller.
Surrounding the magic circle is a pile of scattered rocks. Among these rocks, you can see scattered human bones, and there are more than one. Many of the bones have severe fractures, some of which are fatal. Others are simply broken everywhere, which shows how tragic the death was. Some of the bones do not look like human bones, but rather like some kind of animal bones.
It is obvious that there seemed to be a bloody and brutal battle here, and the result of the battle was the current scene.
If the ruins outside gave Dorothy the feeling that they had been visited countless times by thieves and the walls had been stripped of all the paint, then this place was the scene of a vicious robbery in which everyone was killed.
"Fuck, what's going on here? There are so many dead people... Maybe everything here has been taken away too..."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Dorothy's heart tightened, worrying that the secret room she had finally found might be empty again. Then she began to search the surroundings carefully, opening her spiritual vision to see if there was anything valuable.
After searching for a while, Dorothy found almost nothing. The place seemed to have been looted and all the useful things had been taken away. Only at the last moment, in a gap between the piles of debris, did she use her spiritual vision to see a trace of spiritual light, and it was the purple color of the "Enlightenment" spirit.
Dorothy went over and dug up the stone, then pulled out a dusty feather pen. It was the one that had produced the spiritual trace.
"This is... an extraordinary item! It's Qi's extraordinary item... Phew... Thank God, there's still something left."
Dorothy thought thankfully, and then she immediately shook off the dust on the feather pen, and then consumed 1 point of "light" to identify the feather pen.
…
"General Literature Writing Feather Pen"
This pen can help people who don't know grammar to write common language. After injecting a small amount of "Qi", the content written by this pen will become common language. Anyone who sees the common language will understand its meaning, regardless of whether the person who sees it and the person who writes it speak the same language.
In the eyes of the viewer, the general text will be subconsciously converted into the language he is most familiar with recently in his mind.
When writing general knowledge articles, you can encrypt them conditionally, specifying that only people who meet certain conditions can see them, and those who do not meet the conditions cannot see them.
…
'Common language... a kind of extraordinary language that anyone can understand... Could it be that those strange carvings on the wall that can disappear and reappear outside are common language? It was transformed into the Putang language that I often use recently and can understand. The common language on the wall at that time was probably set up to be invisible to extraordinary people unless they are 'initiated'.'
After understanding the function of the feather pen, Dorothy continued to think like this, and the more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
"It seems that the Star Number Book Society is using the general knowledge to record things. Then I can go and look for other places with those strange marks."
Dorothy thought so, and after putting away the quill, she continued to search in the secret room. After a while, she saw a slate hanging on the wall. There were messy scratches on the slate. These scratches were somewhat similar to those Dorothy had seen at the entrance of the secret room before, and it seemed to be the general knowledge text.
Seeing these marks, Dorothy's expression froze, and she looked at the marks on the stone slab carefully. Then these marks suddenly moved, and began to twist like snakes, twisting and forming new structures on the stone slab. In Dorothy's eyes, it became the Putwin she knew.
It says "Hall of Stairs"
"Hall of Stairs? Is this the name of this room? Hearing this name... it seems that this is where the Star Number Book Society holds the advancement ceremony... It seems that the divination is correct, and there is indeed a way for me to advance here."
Dorothy thought so, but looking at the slate in front of her, Dorothy felt excited, and then she continued to look for general knowledge articles all over the room.
Finally, Dorothy found a stone tablet in front of the magic circle in the center of the house. On the stone tablet, there were a lot of messy carvings, and the style of these carvings was very similar to the common language.
When she came to the stone tablet, Dorothy leaned over and stared at the stone slab carefully. The carvings on it also changed in Dorothy's eyes, turning into the Putin style of the entire stone tablet.

"Seeking truth and looking at the stars"
"The time has come to ascend the stairs, apprentice. Choose carefully which ladder you will step on."
"The cup carries the message, the path of spiritual silk, the puppet master."
"Using stone to carry the message, the path of howling anger, the user of thunder magic."
"Using shadows to carry on the enlightenment, the path of the confused mind, the dream interpreter."
"The light is the guide, the way of foresight, the fortune teller."
"I serve you with my own body, the path of pure reason, and I am a learned scholar."
