Chapter 9
[It was so scary when the door opened just now. I thought it was haunted again. Fortunately, it was Principal Wu who came out! ]
[Why did Principal Satoru come to Hongxing Palace?]
[Do you feel that something is wrong with Principal Wu? ]
[It seems to be different from usual]
[The light is too dim, but I can see that Principal Wu's expression seems to be quite serious]
[The voice just now was also very serious]
[Mingbao was frightened! ]
"Go, Principal Gojo..." Naruto did not turn around and run, but tried to communicate with the person in front of him.
The white-haired principal answered him and repeated his previous question: "Why did Naruto come here?"
Naruto looked behind Principal Gojo. The gate of the Shinseishun Shrine had been closed at some point. The dark red gate always gave people an ominous aura. He swallowed and explained, "I couldn't find the high school dormitory. I saw Principal Gojo, so I came here to look for him."
This time, Principal Gojo did not respond to him immediately. Instead, he stood silently on the steps in front of the gate of Hongxing Palace. His white hair, white bandage and pale face blurred into one in the night, and the whole person became less real.
[By the way, is Hongxing Palace where that Tianyuan stays? 】
[Principal Wu, is he here to look for Tianyuan?]
[Didn’t the game say that the teachers and students of the technical college were trapped in the technical college and couldn’t get out? So there was something wrong with the barrier that Tianyuan was in charge of? ]
[I don’t think it’s that simple. I always feel like my brain is behind it.]
[And rotten oranges]
[It feels like the principal in this world is even more exhausted than the teacher in the technical high school]
[I really hope that players can find out the truth quickly, at least to solve the problem of Brain Flower and Rotten Orange]
After an unknown amount of time, a slender white-haired young man walked down the stairs. He stood in front of Naruto and smiled vaguely. The reason why I say vaguely is because it was too dark, and the other party's attitude was not very gentle before, so Naruto could not be sure. He only heard the other party say:
"So that's how it is. Let me take you there." After saying that, Ling Yi took a step forward and left the place where Hongxing Palace was located.
Naruto followed a little later, and after walking a distance, he couldn't help but look back. The outlines of all objects in the darkness became blurred, and the magnificent palace disappeared in the shadows of the trees, like a lurking giant beast, which made people feel a little creepy.
Mingren withdrew his gaze, took a few quick steps to catch up with Ling Yi, and got closer. Then he remembered something, he looked up at Ling Yi's expression, and found that the young man seemed to have returned to his approachable appearance.
Mingren breathed a sigh of relief and noticed that Ling Yi walked very steadily. It seemed as if he could see where the road was and where to turn, but he clearly had a bandage around his eyes.
"Is this Principal Gojo's special ability?" Naruto couldn't help but ask.
Ling Yi paused for a moment, as if he had just realized what Mingren was asking, and replied, "I'm familiar with everything here."
Naruto nodded, not quite understanding, but said nothing more.
[Ling Ling, are you okay just now?] 599 came online at this time. It was bound to Ling Yi and could sense Ling Yi's condition to some extent. Just now in Hongxing Palace, Ling Yi's gloomy and melancholy scared it so much that it dared not speak.
[I'm fine, it's just that the emotions in this body can't be calmed down. ]
Mingren followed Ling Yi all the way and finally returned to the dormitory. Because there were few people, the dormitory of the technical college seemed very empty, especially since most of the students stayed in the classroom. Mingren followed Ling Yi's instructions and randomly chose an empty room and closed the door. When he was the only one left in the room, he lay down on his back on the bed...
Naruto stared blankly at the ceiling. He thought he would be distracted by all the bizarre things that happened today, but in fact, he was not thinking about Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura, and the lecherous sage...
He remembered that after Sasuke defected, the lecherous sage had advised him to give up as a passer-by, but he was determined to bring Sasuke back even if he had to be a fool for the rest of his life. He remembered that when Team 7 was first established, Teacher Kakashi asked everyone about their dreams. He looked at the Hokage Rock and was determined to become the Hokage.
He has said "Uzumaki Naruto must become Hokage" many times. It is not so much that he is saying it to others as it is to give himself a firm belief when he is not recognized.
He had simply equated becoming a Hokage with becoming stronger, so even though he was the last in the ninja school and practiced hard in a corner where no one could see him, he used stones instead when he couldn't afford a shurikens, and used natural trees instead when he didn't have a target to practice on. He was so determined to take this path, but today, his thoughts have changed a little, and the reason for the change is because of those bullet screens.
"Mingbao is you"
"Naruto is Naruto Uzumaki, the *** Hokage"
"Mingbao is the most proud disciple of the Lecherous Immortal"
"Mingbao is ****'s hero"
Those people on the barrage knew him very well, and the most important thing was that they recognized him. He felt deeply recognized, an indescribable sour and bloated feeling, and a sense of fullness as if the emptiness in his heart was filled with something.
It was so beautiful that he felt that perhaps becoming Hokage was not the goal, but being recognized and acknowledged was.
What he wanted was to be recognized by the name Uzumaki Naruto, instead of being maliciously called a demon fox.
Naruto suddenly clenched his fists and sat up from the bed. He decided that he would work harder to practice, at least to become a Hokage, the most proud disciple of the lecherous sage, and a hero recognized by everyone, as the bullet screen said...
Let's start by learning spells!
With a target in mind, Naruto immediately began to act, but soon a number of question marks popped up over his head: How exactly is the cursed power to be extracted?
Naruto tried to figure it out, but couldn't find the right way. He finally grabbed his hair in a panic, "Ahh! This is so difficult!!!"
[Just came over from the live broadcast room in the classroom, what is Mingbao doing? 】
[Maybe he's thinking about how to complete the game? ]
[Before, Ming Bao met Principal Wu in Hongxing Palace. I think this is very likely a clue. Ming Bao may have discovered something.]
[Did you get enlightenment after meeting the principal? Damn, why can’t I open two live broadcast rooms? 】
[The worst thing is that the game only shows the players, I want to see Principal Satoru’s perspective alone! ! ! ]
[There are very few screens of Principal Satoru. It is strongly recommended that the game add Principal Satoru's live broadcast room]
【Suggestion +1】
[I am so tired of switching between the two live broadcast rooms]
[I also kept switching, the style of Mingbao's painting here and the classroom are completely different]
[On one hand, the years are peaceful, on the other hand, those who hear it are sad and those who listen to it shed tears. I feel that those ghost NPCs are so pitiful. Not only do they have to copy the school rules, but they also have to be destroyed.]
[Not suitable for children, Mingbao left early]
[How can you say it's destruction? I'm clearly investigating clues in the game.]
[To be honest, those ghosts are pretty stubborn. They were swung around like yo-yos by Hisoka, cut like vegetables by the master, and twisted like twisters by five cats. They didn't reveal many clues about the game.]
[Is there a possibility that they really don’t know? ]
[If the NPC cannot provide clues, how can the player pass the level?]
【Perhaps special conditions are required to trigger it?】
Naruto could never get the hang of practicing spells, so he finally decided to give up and ask Gojo Satoru for advice tomorrow. Before going to bed, he opened the room and came to the corridor. At a glance, the rooms on both sides were similar, and he couldn't tell where the bathroom was.
Naruto walked and searched, fortunately the internal structure of the technical college dormitory was not complicated, and he soon saw the sign with the bathroom logo. Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and walked in.
Perhaps it was because the dormitory was too empty and deserted, Naruto always felt chilly. He quickly finished his work and wanted to hurry back to the dormitory. However, when he flushed the toilet and wanted to go out, he found that the door of the cubicle could not be opened.
"Strange..." Naruto couldn't help but mutter. He tried a few more times, but still couldn't open it.
Naruto thought about it, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and created a shadow clone.
"I'm counting on you." Naruto said to his shadow clone.
"You are such a troublesome guy." Although Yingfen/Shen complained, he still put his hands together and tiptoed for Naruto.
Naruto stepped on the shadow clone's hand, and the shadow clone threw it upward with force, and Naruto jumped directly out from above the compartment...
The moment he landed, Naruto slipped and nearly fell. When he steadied himself, he saw clearly that there was a dark, wriggling mass under his feet. In addition to his feet, there were also some black snake-like things around him. The door of the compartment was entangled by these things, so it could not be opened.
“…………” Naruto’s eyes were a little wide open, and he suddenly felt that he might be dreaming, otherwise how could he see such a mysterious scene before his eyes?
Naruto swallowed unconsciously and slowly raised his head. The higher he looked, the denser the dancing black things became. They were tangled and coiled until they finally gathered in one place.
And right where these black threads gathered, there was a human face. The face noticed Naruto's gaze and suddenly grinned, revealing a terrifying smile: "Am I beautiful?"
