secret dice.

Chapter 565 If you can’t speak, don’t speak!
"The girl from the Ling family..." Xue Lan looked at Ling Xin across from her: "What do you want to tell me? Didn't you fight enough before?"

Although Xue Lan is socially anxious, she is not weak in character. Especially when she meets an opponent of equal strength, she is not afraid to confront him.

Among the previous team battles, the one between Tianjing University and Ningdong College was the most intense. Ling Xin's magic-breaking golden sword faced Xue Lan's ice and snow magic. The residual power of the battle alone made the other players retreat, and even the barrier at the edge of the field showed signs of being shaken. In the end, neither side could do anything to the other, and the game ended in a draw.

At this moment, Ling Xin came to her on her own initiative. Xue Lan naturally thought that she was here to provoke her because she didn't enjoy the previous battle.

"Nothing." Ling Xin smiled slightly: "I'm just a little curious. During the competition, Luo Jun mentioned your secret. What is it?"

"Secret?" Xue Lan thought Ling Xin was going to say something cruel, and she had already prepared several versions of the words in her mind. She secretly swore that she must win this argument, and she must not regret why she didn't say this in her bed at night after the argument...

But who would have thought that Ling Xin didn't seem to have any intention of provoking him at all, but instead asked about the secret... a secret?
Xue Lan instantly recalled the embarrassing childhood memories that Luo Jun had learned about. Her originally cold face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"This this this this...what the hell...what secret...I I I I I...I don't know what you are talking about!"

Ling Xin frowned: "Why are you blushing?"

"Who, who, who, who... who is blushing?" Xue Lan retorted hastily. At this time, the other contestants who were watching on the sidelines had already started whispering about it.

"Look at how nervous Xuelan is, what could be the secret?"

"What else could it be? His face is so red, it must be that kind of relationship..."

"No way, the Ice Princess is so cold and arrogant. I really can't imagine what kind of man is worthy of her!"

"Isn't Luo Jun also a genius? He's able to solve unsolvable A-level missions... I heard he's been in Yuandu for several days. Maybe he's even seen the Ice Queen."

"Eh? Have you met the parents? It feels like a rich marriage..."

Originally, because of Luo Jun's frank attitude, Ling Xin didn't doubt his relationship with Xue Lan, but was a little concerned about the secret between them. But seeing Xue Lan's reaction now, and hearing the discussions of people around her, she couldn't help but doubt it.

"What is your relationship?" Ling Xin asked.

"Nothing... Nothing..." Xue Lan was particularly concerned about what others thought. At this moment, everyone's comments had made her extremely embarrassed. She didn't know how to explain, so she replied subconsciously in panic, "We just lived in the same place before."

"Live together?" Ling Xin's eyes widened, and the onlookers also made surprised sounds.

"No...it's not what you think!" Xue Lan explained hastily: "We were just staying in a hotel together before..."

"Hotel?!" Sounds of "Oh oh oh oh..." broke out all around, and then everyone turned to look at Luo Jun. Luo Jun was also completely confused at this moment, looking at Xue Lan with a black question mark on his face, thinking, if you can't speak, then don't say it!
Just when he felt extremely innocent and didn't know how to explain, he suddenly shuddered for no reason. Turning around, he saw Ling Xin looking at him with resentment and murderous intent in her eyes.

"No, it has nothing to do with me. I just happened to stay in the same hotel with her when I was out training. It's not like we were in the same room."

After listening to Luo Jun's explanation, Ling Xin's expression eased a little: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. His brother Xuesong was there at the time." Luo Jun looked at Xue Lan: "Say something too. Have you forgotten that I often chatted with your brother at that time..."

"Ah! Stop talking!" Xue Lan suddenly slammed the table, stood up, looked at Luo Jun, and ran away with a red face...

Now, the other people looked at Luo Jun with even more ambiguous eyes.

"No...you're blushing like a bubble teapot..." Luo Jun was about to chase her and ask her to explain clearly, when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He lowered his head and saw it was Ling Xin's magic-breaking golden sword.

"Ling Xin, calm down..." Luo Jun raised his hands and took a step back: "We have been classmates for so many years, you shouldn't be so cruel."

"Even if he's a classmate, if he's a scumbag who plays with girls' feelings, I won't let you go!" Ling Xin's voice was extremely cold.

"Who is it? I have been a chaste man for 19 years, how can I be considered a scumbag?" Luo Jun was really aggrieved: "Besides, you can question my character, but you can't doubt my IQ. If I dare to kill the granddaughter of the Ice Queen, can I still survive? There are so many girls, why do I have to pick a girl from such a big family..."

After hearing this, Ling Xin's eyes twitched again.

At this time, a hand was placed on her arm: "Don't be impulsive, he is telling the truth."

Ling Xin turned around and saw that it was Zhai Xixi.

"How are you sure?"

Zhai Xixi smiled and said, "Don't forget that I am an illusionist. I am particularly sensitive to people's spirits and emotions. Xiao Luo's emotions just now were extremely sincere. He should be telling the truth."

Ling Xin looked at Zhai Xixi, then at Luo Jun, snorted coldly, and put away the Demon Breaking Golden Sword: "For Xixi's sake, I will trust you this once!"

After saying that, she also turned and left, leaving Luo Jun alone, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, accepting everyone's pointing and criticizing. "What are you looking at!" Luo Jun said angrily: "You like to watch the fun so much, do you have anything to do in the day? Let's go, go do what you need to do!"

Under his scolding, the crowd of onlookers finally dispersed...

…………

The next morning, everyone lined up and came to the back mountain of the academy. After passing through layers of barriers, they came to between two rock walls and saw a small steel fortress built against the mountain.

Led by the staff, everyone entered the fortress. Like the other gates Luo Jun had been through, there were changing rooms, disinfection areas, etc. Finally, after passing through layers of protection, they arrived at the door that looked like a huge starry sky poster.

The man and woman walked on each side and after passing through the door, they arrived at a modern sealed cabin.

Unlike the previous [Wulin] and [Wild], this time, behind the door is not a direct locker room, but an isolation inspection room, which can not only be cleaned and disinfected, but also check and scan the physical condition of the players to prevent some dirty things from coming to the main world.

This is because of the characteristics of the [supernatural] world. It is easy for spirits to hide in the human body and sneak into the main world. Although the power of ordinary spirits in the main world will be greatly weakened due to the rules of the world, it is a supernatural power after all. If it invades the main world and is out of control, it will still be very troublesome.

Secondly, the technological level of the spiritual world is similar to that of the main world. If it is a world like [Wulin] and [Wild], unless a treasure is used, even if Yuan Xiu has the intention, the world's technological level does not support the construction of such facilities.

Of course, those coming from the main world basically don’t need any special disinfection. After a simple scan, everyone left the isolation room and came to the locker room.

Basic clothing was provided here, and Luo Jun quickly changed into a set of clothes. He also took the opportunity to take out a pair of extreme underwear from the treasure box and put them on secretly.

In the previous few days of competition, because the detection equipment prohibited the use of treasures, he had kept the limit hidden in the treasure box. As for the smart equipment bag, although there was storage space, it could not store treasures, and the ordinary items stored in it could not pass through the gate to the other world, so it had been emptied before entering.

After everyone changed their clothes, they followed the staff out of the locker room and came to a meeting room.

Just like the Bainamen run by the Yuanxiu Society in the [Martial Arts World], the explorers of the [supernatural] world also rely on an organization to act.

Here, the explorer's base camp is a private institution of higher learning called Puhua University. The reason why the university was chosen as a hiding place is mainly because it can be used to establish a research institute to study and explore various supernatural phenomena in this world.

The [Supernatural] world is not only similar to the main world in terms of overall culture and technology, but also in the way ordinary people perceive the world. Here, the public does not perceive supernatural powers. Although there are a terrifying number of urban legends and ghost stories in this world, people who have not experienced them personally still think that they are just ghost stories made up by others, and those who have experienced them...most of them will become insane even if they don't die.

But Yuan Xiu would know that those ghost stories are not only real, but also have certain scientific reasons behind them.

In the final analysis, it is the rules of the [supernatural] world that are particularly suitable for the existence of various spirits. After the death of humans in the main world, their consciousness will also disappear. Although some practitioners can forcibly retain people's consciousness with special abilities or treasures, without external intervention, the consciousness, or soul, of creatures in the main world and most other worlds cannot exist independently of the body.

But [Supernatural] is different. Here, there are various possibilities for people to become ghosts after death. Some have unfinished business and regrets; some die in a miserable way and have a deep resentment; and some simply come into contact with some supernatural power by accident, causing their souls to leave their bodies...

In short, the world that is peaceful and harmonious in the eyes of ordinary people is actually filled with all kinds of strange ghosts and monsters in the eyes of practitioners.

The above is all the information Luo Jun has found on the forum. But he knows that the world he is about to experience in person is definitely not something that can be explained by simple information.

"Everyone, you are now in the underground research institute of Puhua University." Standing on the podium in the conference room is a young man wearing a white coat and goggles. "Most of the students here are coming to [Spiritual] for the first time. Let me briefly tell you about the precautions for surviving in this world."

"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhuge Huang. I am a professor of spiritual research at Puhua University, one of the vice presidents of the Puhuashan branch of the Yuanxiu Association, and the person in charge of your third phase of the exchange meeting."

As soon as they heard Zhuge Huang's name, the contestants all started talking about it. This name is well-known, and it is said that the Zhuge family has produced many talented people, each with a talent that is more amazing than the other. But at present, the two most promising ones are still the two brothers Zhuge Chi and Zhuge Huang.

The eldest brother Zhuge Chi reached the peak at the age of only thirty-something. This progress is top-notch in the world. Many people have high hopes for him and believe that he can break through the last step and achieve enlightenment in his lifetime.

As for the third brother Zhuge Huang, although he is not as strong as Zhuge Chi, he can also be called outstanding. When he was still studying at Puhuashan College, he had already shined and contributed countless brilliant performances in the exchange meeting. After graduation, he successfully entered the Yuanxiu Association and made progress in his career. He became the vice president of the Puhuashan branch before he was thirty years old. Many people speculated that with his current work ability, if he could reach the peak like Zhuge Chi in the future, he would be able to grow smoothly and be promoted to president. It is even possible that after the death of an elder, he could enter the headquarters and enter the highest level of the Yuanxiu Association!

It can be said that Zhuge Huang is the idol of every young person who aspires to work in the government. With such a great figure coming to give lectures, everyone perks up and listens carefully.

"First of all, I'm sure everyone already knows that this world is full of spirits... or ghosts." Zhuge Huang introduced and asked: "So who knows how to deal with ghosts?"

At this time, a student from Puhuashan College raised his hand, and after getting Zhuge Huang's consent, he stood up and answered:

"The best way to deal with these incorporeal ghosts is to use mental attacks, which the Illusion School is best at. If you don't have the ability to attack mentally, most of the spells of the Elemental School and the Curse School can also have a good effect. Even if you really don't have the ability to use spells and treasures, you can barely deal with it with pure Gangqi. Although Gangqi's direct killing power on ghosts is not strong, it can at least resist the attacks and erosion of ghosts. In addition, if your bones are strong enough, even if you don't have vitality, you can rely on your strong vitality to resist those particularly weak ghosts, but if you encounter a strong one, you will have no power to resist."

"Very good." Zhuge Huang nodded: "This student seems to have a lot of experience in dealing with ghosts. But what I want to talk about is not these common sense... To put it another way, the methods of dealing with ghosts mentioned by this student are all the ways to fight after facing ghosts. So looking forward, can we avoid conflicts with ghosts in advance?"

"Avoid conflict?" Many students who had never been to [Supernatural] looked at each other in confusion.

"Yes." Zhuge Huang said, "The number of ghosts in the [supernatural] world is beyond your imagination. If we kill them one by one and arouse the anger of the ghosts and monsters and attack them in groups, even the most powerful exorcist will be overwhelmed by the continuous tide of ghosts. Therefore, for us, killing ghosts is never the first choice. How to avoid arousing their hostility is more critical!"
