Paradise: Ready Player One

Early the next morning, Chen Ming began to take the exam.

The two negative combat powers, Ryuzu and Meili, were left on the fourth floor, accompanying Shaula.

Unlike the hundreds of meters of stairs between the lower three floors, the stairs between the fourth and third floors are not long.

After a while, Chen Ming arrived at the examination place.

The third floor of the Sage's Tower is an infinitely wide pure white space, only a black stone slab is suspended in the middle.

"Is this the question of the test?"

Betty tilted her head and asked.

"Touch it and you'll know it"

Chen Ming didn't think too much, and went up to touch the stone slab.

After the slate disappeared, an unknown voice sounded from Chen Ming's mind.

(Touch the hero who was wiped out by Shaula, where it shines the most)

This is the first exam question given by the sage.

Immediately afterwards, countless stone slabs of different sizes appeared in the white space.

Chen Ming didn't rush to answer, but looked at Betty, and threw the sage's question to her.

"Why don't you try it out"

"...Let Betty think about it"

Betty folded her arms and fell into deep thought.

The way to pass the test in front of you is obviously very simple, as long as you touch the correct one among the countless slabs, you will pass the test on the third floor.

The way is simple, but finding the answer is not easy.

At least Betty, who claims to be extremely smart all night, can't think of it.

It wasn't really Betty's problem either.

The purpose of the sages setting up this layer is to select "one of their own".

The "Shaula" mentioned in the title is not his naive student, but the λ star of Scorpio, that is, the star at the tail of the scorpion, whose name is Shaula.

Therefore, Betty's practice of asking the parties for answers is completely useless.

And there is one story in the legend related to Scorpio.

There was a hunter who was killed by a scorpion and turned into Orion in the sky after his death.

If you know these astronomical knowledge, then the answer can be said to be ready.

It's not that Betty can't do it, it's because the questions of this test involve the blind spot of her knowledge.

These slabs correspond to the stars shining in the starry sky.

Chen Ming asked Betty to fly up to the sky with him, and found several stone slabs of the same size, which also happened to correspond to the positions of the main stars of Orion.

And there are two brightest stars in Orion, one is called Ligru, and the other is called Petelgeus.

Either of these two is the correct answer.

Or both.

It doesn't matter if you make a wrong choice, anyway, the number of tests for a sage is unlimited.

Chen Ming knows that this answer does not mean that he is also an astronomy enthusiast, but that Echidna told him through the Gospel.

Although the knowledge about astronomy does not belong to this world, but Flugel once spread this knowledge, otherwise there would not be so many people named after stars.

Just like that lazy bishop.

As long as it has existed in this world, Echidna's Book of Wisdom can give the answer.

This test has nothing to do with Chen Ming, but a contest between a sage and a lustful witch.

When Chen Ming touched the correct stone slab, the surrounding white began to dissipate, and rows of bookshelves came into everyone's sight.

"Is this the sage's library? It's only a little bit worse than Betty's library"

After looking around, Betty hid her surprised expression and said while crossing her arms.

Originally, she was a little indifferent to the so-called sages, but now it seems that her vision is shallow. She never expected that there are such an astonishing collection of books in just one floor of the library.

At least in numbers, Betty's bank has lost.

Chen Ming walked to the bookshelf and randomly took out one of them. The title of the book on it was someone's name.

Not just this one, the title of every book here is a person's name.

"What, it turned out to be blank"

Betty looked around, and the book in Chen Ming's hand was blank.

"It's not blank, it's just that we're not qualified to read it"

"How is this going"

"These are the Books of the Dead"

Chen Ming opened his mouth to explain to Betty.

Elsa beside her also pricked up her ears, listening curiously, this was the first time she had heard of this.

Because of Echidna's outside assistance, Chen Ming was able to know that these books were actually "books of the dead", which recorded the lives of the deceased.

As long as you get to know the deceased, you can experience the experience of the deceased from the No. 1 perspective.

But the time you can't read it can't be too long, otherwise your own consciousness will be swallowed by the "Book of the Dead".

The sage who can create such a library must have an astonishing understanding of magic.

To be able to turn the lives of all the dead in this world into "books of the dead" is to have come into contact with the "root" of this derivative world.

It is no wonder that this sage is as famous as the sword master and the dragon.

"There is such a book!"

Betty showed a face that had never seen the world. She was so cute that people couldn't help pinching her little face.

"However, with so many dead, how can we find people we know?"

Elsa addresses the crucial question.

Indeed, there is not even a catalog here, how did I find the "Book of the Dead" I wanted.

"Maybe they don't need you to look for them, they will come to you by themselves"

Chen Ming said as he pulled out another book from the bookshelf.

This time, the words Echidna were written impressively on the paper.

Betty's eyes widened immediately, and there was a strange color in the pupils, and the little hands were already frantically probing on the verge of death.

Just as he was about to touch the Book of the Dead belonging to the Greedy Witch, Chen Ming pushed forward, and Betty quickly withdrew her hand as if being electrocuted, and explained hurriedly.

"I won't spy on her life without Mr. Mother's permission!"

When Betty said this, she was somewhat guilty.

"Really? Then let me take a look."

Chen Ming is very interested in Echidna's past, and there must be some interesting things in it.

However, based on the principle that neither she dared to read it nor others could read it, Betty snatched Echidna's Book of the Dead from Chen Ming's hands.

"Even if it is Ming, it is impossible to spy on the past of my mother."

"Don't be like this, at worst, I will dictate the contents to you after I finish reading it."

Chen Ming let out a demonic whisper, which made Betty's heart skip a beat.

But in the end, Betty suppressed Chen Ming's temptation by relying on her admiration for Echidna, and ran to hide in an invisible place with her Book of the Dead in her arms.

That small appearance is like a little squirrel who has stolen a nut.

"Don't show it secretly by yourself"

"T-I won't!!"

Betty's shy voice came.

Chapter 475 Memory Corridor

The library located on the third floor of the Sage's Tower has its own name - Taijie Tower.

I just don't know the name has any special meaning.

Chen Ming took out another "Book of the Dead" from the bookshelf. The title of this book was Sekhmet.

It seems that these witches are really destined to be with him.

This time, no one could stop Chen Ming from reading the "Book of the Dead".

When the first page of the book was opened, a spiritual force pulled Chen Ming's consciousness, trying to bring him to the conscious world compiled in the "Book of the Dead".

Chen Ming naturally did not resist this force, and when he opened his eyes again, he came to a pure white space.

However, this is not the past life of Sekhmet, but the "memory corridor" controlled by the gluttonous bishop.

“It really made me wait a long time to say”

A childish voice came from the side.

Chen Ming followed the trend and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a little girl who seemed to be thirteen or fourteen years old, smiling maliciously at herself, while introducing herself.

"This is the end of the lonely and white soul, the cradle of Odd Laguna - the corridor of memory"

"We are responsible for the gluttony of the Witch Cult's Great Sin Archbishop, and we are here to avenge you, the wicked man"

This girl looks very cute, and the morbid smile on the corner of her mouth has an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

People can't help but think of the gluttonous bishop.
