Chapter 369 Night Falls
The sun slowly set.

On the road.

More and more people were running, and Li Shuang and Cangyin gradually quickened their pace.

They had no intention of challenging the rules set by Lin An.

At the entrance of the disciples' quarters.

Lin An had been leaning against a tree with his eyes closed.

As dusk fell, the sun's radiance gradually faded.

Lin An opened his eyes, a cruel smile appearing in them.

Is he about to draw his sword again?

Lin An, sword in hand, lazily walked to the middle of the road.

Everyone who saw this felt a chill run down their spines. When they passed by him, they didn't even dare to stop for a moment, and ran all the way to their own rooms.

Li Shuang and Cangyin followed the crowd to the disciples' quarters.

The sun is still slowly setting.

Half of the world has already turned into the color of night, and the darkness continues to spread towards them.

Li Shuang had no doubt that when the darkness spread through the disciples' quarters, those still outside would be completely wiped out.

Time was of the essence, but she stopped in her tracks beside Lin An.

The Rebirth Technique was activated again, and Li Shuang asked only one question: "Senior Brother, you are the chief disciple, so naturally you are the elite of the elite disciples. Why... did you not go to the Ascension Array, but stayed here to teach us new disciples?"

Lin An glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.

Li Shuang asked, "Is it because... you still have stagnant energy on you?"

Lin An raised an eyebrow: "You do know a lot."

He did not give any answer.

But Li Shuang already had the answer in her heart.

Darkness had spread to her feet.

Li Shuang turned around and grabbed Cang Yin, who was still following her blankly for a moment.

The two ran wildly backwards.

Before darkness completely engulfed them, the two rushed into their respective rooms.

next moment.

In the vast darkness, Lin An revealed a strange smile.

He drew his sword and slashed forward.

Two disciples had already arrived at the gate of the disciples' quarters.

but.

It was just a moment too late.

In just that one instant, their lives were taken.

The number of rooms... has become 63.

Li Shuang frowned slightly.

They can't let people keep dying like this.

If we consider Langya Palace as a game instance, then, in the language of Ye Zhaozhao's world, Lin An and the others are now essentially NPCs.

And they are the players.

NPCs have their own fixed trajectory; they are constants.

And the players are the variable!
If there aren't enough variables, they simply won't be able to gain control from these NPCs, not even a little bit!

Without gaining control, they can only repeat the same story over and over again.

They will never truly be able to clear this instance.

If she wants to gradually change the ending of the story, she alone is definitely not enough.

Li Shuang couldn't save everyone, but she still wanted to do her best to leave as many helpers as possible behind.

Lin An killed the two late disciples, then calmly said, "Night falls. Monsters sometimes escape from the Monster Pavilion. Only the disciples' quarters are impenetrable to monsters, making them absolutely safe. To ensure your safety, I will patrol here every half hour. If, at that time, any room in the disciples' quarters is empty…"

Lin An gave a faint smile: "I believe you all understand the consequences of breaking the rules."

Done.

He simply turned around and left.

Lin An's figure quickly disappeared into the vast darkness of the night.

Li Shuang's eyes flickered slightly.

She once asked a crucial question.

"You must go out at night! If you don't, you die!"

This is completely contrary to the rules Lin An gave. Yet Lin An himself also gave self-contradictory rules.

He forbade them from going out, but told them that they could earn points by hunting monsters.

Li Shuang's expression changed slightly.

Lin An said he patrols every half hour.

These words...

More like telling them.

They are free to move around for half an hour, as long as they stay in the disciples' quarters while he is on patrol, nothing will happen.

Li Shuang is probably not the only one who could think of this.

But thinking about it is one thing, but in a world where everything depends on guesswork and you die if you guess wrong, actually leaving the disciples' quarters also requires courage.

Li Shuang was also very cautious.

She carefully opened a window.

Nothing happens.

She stretched her arm out the window again, but there was still no response.

Li Shuang then opened the door.

She tentatively moved one foot out, and everything was fine.

She then tensed up and slowly walked out.

She was also fully prepared so that she could return to her disciples' quarters immediately should any problems arise.

As Li Shuang walked out of the room.

The door to room number two also opened. Cangyin followed without hesitation.

Li Shuang glanced at her in surprise. Her decision was far too decisive.

Everyone else was observing the two silently through the window.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Even though they are now completely shrouded in darkness, no danger has yet occurred.

"Everyone," Li Shuang said slowly, "I received some information today. A disciple of the Langya Sect told me that we must go out at night, or we will die! I personally guess that as long as we return to the disciples' quarters every half hour, we can evade Lin An's patrols. Now, I am going out to search for demonic beasts, and I urge you all to make a decision as soon as possible."

Li Shuang has already said everything that needed to be said.

As for whether these people believe it or not.

That's beyond her control.

She needs partners.

But the partners she needs must be either elite enough or obedient enough.

If someone is determined to die... she has no reason to save them.

After saying that, Li Shuang nodded to Cang Yin, and the two walked directly into the depths of darkness.

The disciples' quarters were quiet.

To believe or not to believe!
The disciples' quarters are not safe.

Is it only by going outside that one can survive?
“I’m not going out! Li Shuang is an elite disciple, and Lin An seems to give her some face. She might not face any consequences for breaking the rules, but if we break the rules, we’re doomed.”

"Have you forgotten what happened five hundred years ago? It's said that when Langya Palace opened, only one person survived! And the other sects even joined forces to hunt down that survivor. It's said that this person used treacherous schemes to kill everyone else in Langya Palace, and in the end, he got all the rewards!"

"This Li Shuang might also be trying to send us to our deaths."

"Yes, we won't go out."

The group was still discussing it.

Feng Yu and Yan Lie left the door almost at the same time. They exchanged a glance and sped off in two different directions.

There was a moment of silence in the arena.

The most talented individuals all chose to venture into the darkness.

So what should they do?

But... that vast, dark night was truly terrifying.

In the distance, the roars of monstrous beasts could already be heard.

Can they really survive in the dark?

Some of them had their doors and windows tightly shut. No matter what, they would never leave the disciples' quarters.

Most people hesitated for a moment, but then took the initiative to leave the disciples' quarters.

Some of them obtained information they couldn't get on their own today with Li Shuang's help.

Some of them are because the most talented individuals have all fallen into darkness, and following in the footsteps of the strong is never a bad thing.

The group left the disciples' quarters and disappeared into the darkness.
