Chapter 5, Act I: The Parasitic Beast
Upper ramen.
Arthur, who hadn't eaten for a day, finally had time to eat, but they had to pay for it!
This 'money' is not the paper money circulating in the market, but its own health!
Ordinary ramen will reduce the life of one day!
The most expensive ramen has to reduce its lifespan by five days!
Arthur reached out and waved lightly in the space, popping up his information panel-
Long Point Upper Computer Academy Cadet Number: 15,007
ID: Arthur
Age: 15
Royalty: Elves
Base Properties: Not generated
Holding time: 99:364:23:27:59
…
Holding time is the remaining life value, from left to right units are years, days, hours, minutes, seconds, from the beginning of this overclocking acceleration space, their life value is converted into 'holding time' this currency at the cost of life, as long as you have enough time, you can live indefinitely, but-
When the holding time reaches zero, that is when everything ends.
They will die!
When they were first in the classroom, the numbers didn't move, but now they are moving, which means that their lifespan is constantly decreasing, and this rule of counting life into time is simply-
Panic.
No wonder there are students who drop out halfway.
Arthur looked at the ramen in his hand and said to the owner of the ramen restaurant, "That...... Please give me ......"
"You guy!!"
The moment Uejo saw Arthur, he was shocked, and he ...... Finally woke up?
"Smack!!"
Bu Shu Toxin quickly reached out and grabbed the collar of the upper linen, under the messy bangs, the half-opened eyes were full of murderous intent, and said, "You guy, don't make a move on my students, although I don't expect them to live, but I don't want to ......!" ”
"Terrible woman, what are you going to do to my family!"
The silver-haired nun who was gnawing on the table suddenly glared angrily at the cloth bundle of letters, and her petite body was between the upper strip of hemp and the cloth bundle of letters.
"Well...... Intix, Sister Bushu didn't mean it, I recognized the wrong person...... Ha ha...... Ahaha......"
Kamijo scratched his hair and couldn't help but sigh lightly, sure enough, it was impossible for him to appear in this place.
"This man...... When hemp ...... No? ”
Intex looked at Kamijo Dangma's strange movements suspiciously, and looked sideways at Arthur, and suddenly became surprised.
"It's not impossible that there are two people who look like each other in the world, all right, Intix, come and eat......"
Kamijo pulled Intix into the back kitchen of the restaurant.
At this time, Arthur felt a glimmer of possibility, the owner of this ramen restaurant must know his origins, does he know his parents?
Confused, Arthur finished eating the ramen that he had bought for a day, and the owner of the ramen restaurant said that it was the first time to take care of them, so the ramen was added in large quantities.
*
After eating enough, Arthur and the others came to the Dimensional Tower, and the building of this tower is not so much a tower as a tower city.
Tower City towers into the clouds,Standing tall in this school city,Even in the daytime,It's still very bright,The architectural style in the tower is mixed with Babylon and Gothic、Rococo style,At the same time, there are various patterns at the top,Angels、Demons、Demon and other hundred races are mixed,The ground is the marble of the color of the sky,Standing on it,As if walking in the clouds。
And there are restaurants, reception halls, guest rooms, etc., among which there is an endless stream of people with royal abilities, but although Tacheng is magnificent, it can't let the people who walk through it stay for a minute and a second, as if everyone is racing against time.
Cloth Shuxin didn't speak, but took Arthur and they went straight to a lifting door, and pressed the switch-
The moment the lift door opened, a golden curtain of light appeared in front of him.
"The dimensional world is not something you can enter if you want to, only the teachers of the dimensional academy are qualified to open it, if ordinary people open it, it is just an ordinary elevator, which can lead to any city on the tower, this time the metaverse tower has suites, restaurants, playgrounds, baths, casinos, happy fields, auctions and other facilities, but they all need time to consume.
Teachers can open the door to the dimensional space, this golden light curtain is the feature, but it is not without a price, enter the light curtain, the light curtain will automatically deduct your time for one year! This is the maximum amount you can stay in the dimensional world, and if you exceed one day, it will be deducted twice, which means that if you stay in the dimensional world for two years, you will lose a total of three years.
One year is automatically deducted when entering, and the excess is deducted when it comes out. ”
Cloth Shu Toshin explained.!!
Arthur and the others looked at each other, it was really a strict time rule.
But no one will doubt that they have been surprised enough today, so no amount of bizarre shock can withstand it.
After entering the golden light curtain, Bushu Toxin took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and inserted one of the black keys into the golden light, and then the light curtain in front of him instantly turned into a pitch-black door, and the door was engraved with terrifying alien beasts, the kind of monsters that were indistinguishable from the alien aliens in science fiction movies.
"The first dimensional world I chose for you, "Parasite", the survival difficulty is the highest among all the initial worlds, and the survival difficulty here is not because of the environmental factors of the world, but because of the mortality rate at the beginning of the mission!
Experience the horror of the dimensional world, as long as you complete a task, you can choose to return, open your information panel and choose to complete the task, of course, you can also choose to stay, continue to complete the task, as I said before, the difficulty of the task will continue to rise, and the accepted task must be completed before you can choose to return, if you understand, go in! ”
With a flick of the handle, the door opened, and a whirlpool like the maw of a black monster appeared in front of Arthur and them.
"I'll come first!"
Kiritani Yu pushed away Arthur and the others who were in front of her, and entered the dark whirlpool without hesitation.
It's already this time, is there anything else to hesitate about?
Arthur bit his lip and stepped into it, if Yu Kiritani, a girl of the same age, was not afraid, what else would he be afraid of?
“……”
The moment he entered the dark vortex, Arthur felt that his whole consciousness disappeared at this moment, indulging in an extremely empty world, and then, when he wanted to struggle, he appeared in the crowded street, where the flow of people was very large, no one cared about him as an ordinary person, and no one was surprised why he suddenly appeared......
Everything has begun, and the light that pierces the darkness is dormant in the throbbing, devouring or?
