Although she didn't answer Gu Xinghe in reality, [chastity] provided the answer in her heart.
[They are all filthy and unclean, so let's take advantage of this opportunity of the stars returning to eliminate them all.]
Gu Xinghe understood instantly—
The other party was clearly aware of the existence hidden within the occult research society.
This is clearly why he previously remarked that all the dangers in this instance seemed to be concentrated on the last day.
Perhaps the other party really wanted to wipe them all out at the same time on the last day.
Or perhaps he wanted to do the same thing he had done in Theresa's hometown—
They deliberately cause disasters, and then later offer salvation to a small number of qualified survivors.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe saw that [Chastity] was unconsciously rubbing the decorative tattoo on her left wrist.
It was a dark green tattoo, almost black.
The tattoo design was a thorny vine that resembled a bracelet, encircling the wrist.
The act of getting a tattoo on one's body is itself.
In Gu Xinghe's view, this was an extremely mismatched combination when applied to the other person.
But perhaps she sensed Gu Xinghe's casual glance, or perhaps she felt the caress of [chastity].
The tattoo seemed to come alive at that moment, like a venomous snake.
At this point, the concept of "chastity" still appears peaceful on the surface.
But Gu Xinghe, who could see into other people's hearts, knew that the person in front of him harbored a deep-seated malice towards him.
Whether or not he is the heretic that his god seeks out.
The things the other party wants to do are clearly the same—
Like the math professors who had met with various misfortunes before him, he was also eliminated.
After a few casual, unrelated words...
Gu Xinghe left the office after having a riddle-solving conversation with [Chastity] that he didn't actually quite like.
Fortunately, although it seemed that neither of them had reached the main point, Gu Xinghe still gained something from the conversation.
After all, he also possesses the mind-reading ability to perfectly counter such riddle-like behavior.
Sometimes, Gu Xinghe himself was thinking—
Perhaps it's because I genuinely dislike the actions of riddle-makers.
So, I only gained this mind-reading ability after I traveled to the new world?
Although he was quickly selected as a player again and entered this world not long after he transmigrated to the new world.
After leaving the board of directors' office, Gu Xinghe returned to his dormitory to rest and recharge.
Although his conversation with "Chastity" was probably a test from her beforehand.
But Gu Xinghe also learned what he wanted from this probing.
In his heartfelt expression of chastity, he generally mentioned two goals—
On the day the stars return to their positions, resolve the issues between the organization and Amato, and confirm whether he is the one they are looking for.
The method of confirmation is unclear, but the confirmation period will not end until the last day of the copy's lifecycle.
Moreover, what's quite interesting is that two of the side quests issued by the game system—
[Finding the truth behind the cursed math teacher position] and [Investigating the true identity of [Chastity], one of the school's ten board members].
Both of these tasks are directly or indirectly related to [chastity].
At this moment, Gu Xinghe, who was deep in thought, also had the idea of participating in the "Stars Return Day" event.
After all, rather than letting [chastity] be broken one by one, it's better to let him join in the fun.
While you're just watching the show and having fun, a three-way battle might break out.
Moreover, Gu Xinghe originally intended to go to the observatory tonight to find out the truth.
Based on his dreams about his past life, the side quest [Investigate the hidden secrets of the school's occult research club] is relevant.
It is also clearly related to the day when the stars in the observatory are in their correct positions.
...
night.
The observatory at night is clearly different from how it appears during the day.
Because there is a small grove of trees serving as a "separation zone" between the campus and the observatory.
As night falls, the place becomes even more eerie and terrifying.
The night wind rustled through the leafy branches, sounding like the inexplicable howls of mindless wild beasts.
In the unseen darkness, these beasts lurk in the shadows, watching everyone's every move with their eerie eyes.
In this pitch-black night where no light can be seen, the starry sky above the observatory is incredibly dazzling.
This is an even more dazzling starry sky than ever before, with every star exceptionally bright and radiant.
Because the altitude is higher than other places on campus.
Standing under the starry sky at this moment, people often have the illusion that the Milky Way above them seems within reach.
In the quiet of the night, under the dazzling starry sky.
Luo Zhiye followed a group of teachers and students from the School of Astronomy to the observatory for this special teaching session.
But it felt completely different from when he and Gu Xinghe came to investigate before.
At that moment, he could feel as if his heart was being tightly gripped by a hand.
Goosebumps involuntarily rose on his body and arms.
An inexplicable rustling sound of tree branches rang in my ears.
Luo Zhiye felt that he was being stared at by the burning gaze of some kind of monster hidden in the darkness.
The gaze of that being seemed greedy and vicious, as if it wanted to devour him completely.
But upon closer inspection, that gaze seemed cold and ruthless, as if it wanted to dissect him completely.
The two simultaneous sensations mingled in Luo Zhiye's mind, causing his perception to become momentarily confused.
As the "eyes," Luo Zhiye has far more experience observing and watching others than being watched.
At this moment, he felt as if he had a thorn in his side; unease and fear permeated his entire being.
Even though they are already players who have been living in this world for a long time.
Luo Zhiye's reaction to ordinary eerie and terrifying situations should never have been this extreme.
But at this moment, he could sense that this was not a tremor he could control.
Rather, it is a kind of fear, like that of a tiny human facing a colossal beast of mist, stemming from both physiological and genetic factors.
An invisible and intangible evil seemed to have possessed and descended upon all who came.
However, unlike Luo Zhiye and the vast majority of other students present who also sensed something was wrong, he...
Li Ruoshan and Huang Sihui, both students at the same college, displayed an unusual excitement and agitation.
Like a college freshman who is completely oblivious to the eerie atmosphere around him and only looking forward to the upcoming astronomical observations.
