I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

The moment Sister Lin disappeared, the boy who received the mark stepped to the front and passed the mark to another student.

Then the light from the remaining sixteen students behind him converged again and fell on him.

He kept moving forward, his skin began to crack, and blood-red worms poured out of his body.

The knowledge-derived worms within him seemed to resonate with the corpse's aura more than Sister Lin's. The worms survived longer and were annihilated more slowly when they rushed into the blood aura at the edge of the vortex.

He went further than Sister Lin.

It's almost twice as far.

The passage continued to extend through the sea of ​​blood.

But he also has his limits.

The boy turned his head away with a hint of helplessness as the insects were completely annihilated.

"I should have known better than to covet that little bit of truth... Remember your name, remember our mission..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

His body disintegrated, his brain withered, and he disappeared into a sea of ​​blood.

【Mysterious Alchemy: +0.1...3.0/50】

[Pharmacology: +3...39/100]

Yet another string of knowledge has been devoured by the worm of knowledge.

The worm of knowledge seemed to sense Lu Yuan's inner emotions, and mumbled something incoherently, as if it were nothing serious, before continuing to follow.

[Sanity: -4...45/140]

The fragment stream is being continuously encrypted. The pressure on the barrier is increasing.

The mark was passed on again, the light gathered again, the skin shattered again, and the insects swarmed out again.

Another journey, another life.

Another boy vanished into thin air.

[Taboo Studies - Seeker of Knowledge: +2...55.3/100]

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan was absorbing less and less knowledge as the team continued to advance.

The black and red vortex, which had been rotating at an extremely slow speed, gradually accelerated as the students died.

Deep within that whirlpool, something seemed to be gradually rising.

Most of the overflowing knowledge was absorbed by the vortex.

The queue is getting shorter.

Fifteen, thirteen, ten.

Everyone who walked to the front had a different expression the moment they turned to face the vortex.

Some people gritted their teeth, some closed their eyes, and some laughed.

But no one stepped back.

As the number of people in the group decreased, the student in the lead could only hold on for a shorter and shorter time.

The knowledge-derived worms within them died instantly, as if encountering a natural enemy.

The dark red sea of ​​blood became increasingly sticky.

From the students' perspective, the magnificent sky high above appears incredibly sacred and solemn against the backdrop of the towering stone pillars, with countless fragments of knowledge dancing in the air, and an ever-growing attraction emanating from all around.

The team could only focus their attention and continue to resist this force.

The petite girl walked at the very back of the line.

Not just her, but everyone's hands had runes that glowed dimmer than before.

More and more things are being taken away.

But none of them showed any sign of stopping; everyone gritted their teeth.

We just keep moving.

[Sanity: -3...42/140]

Finally, only four people remained in the team.

A tall boy walked in front, followed by a boy, and two girls walked behind.

One was that short girl, and the other Lu Yuan had never seen before.

"We're almost there, but it's a pity I can't see you anymore. Remember your name, and you'll go even further... I'm going to sleep now."

The boy finished speaking.

The knowledge-derived insects, displaying an almost tricolor pattern, dispersed.

This time, the Knowledge Worm didn't absorb any knowledge at all.

The vortex swallowed everything.

The vortex was finally fully awakened, and the three remaining students arrived at its very center.

A huge golden ball of light hangs here, and inside it, a shadow whose face is not visible is suspended.

In the students' eyes, it was a sun that condensed all knowledge.

The surface flows with all colors, and fragments of text rotate and merge inside.

The truth seen from the perspective of the knowledge worm is completely different; it is the heart of this being.

A massive, dark red organ hangs in the deepest part of the sea of ​​blood, its surface covered with blackish-purple living runes that slowly writhe on the surface of the heart.

It pulsates once every tens of seconds, and with each pulsation, the inscription on the surface lights up briefly and then dims.

That indistinct shadow is the superimposed image of the inscription on the surface of the heart.

The remaining boy stared at the ball of light before him, somewhat dazed.

He raised his right hand.

The inscription mark that has been passed down through generations radiates a pure white luster.

He recited the activation words that the Tower of Learning had taught them beforehand.

"In the name of knowledge, I request access."

The light from the mark shone into the surface of the light cluster.

From the students' perspective, the outer shell of the ball of light looked as if a crack had been knocked open.

Countless fragments of knowledge gushed forth from the cracks, a hundred times denser than any fragments seen on the road before.

Text, formulas, images, sounds—fragments of knowledge in all forms emerge simultaneously.

From the perspective of the Insect of Knowledge, after the light of the mark struck the inscriptions on the surface of the heart, those living inscriptions cracked open.

Dark red liquid gushed from the rupture, the blackish-red, foul-smelling blood containing an extremely dense concentration of knowledge, as well as endless resentment.

The entire space was shaking.

Huge waves surged on the surface of the sea of ​​blood.

At the barrier, the fragments surged instantly to the point where they were impossible to dodge.

Everyone on the Night's Watch front is holding on.

The consumption of the sanity pool has changed from "rapid" to "catastrophic".

[Sanity: -2...40/140]

[Sanity: -3...37/140]

[Sanity: -4...33/140]

The deductions continued almost without interruption, and all the Night's Watchmen gritted their teeth.

Since Lu Yuan hasn't suggested stopping, we can't stop.

In the storm of debris, the boy stands at the front, his arms outstretched, trying to grab a whole piece of debris from the torrent.

There are too many broken pieces and very few intact ones.

And after all, he was just a child; the moment he managed to capture a complete fragment with all his might, he froze.

Eyes widened, lips moved silently.

Lu Yuan saw the reason through the Insect of Knowledge.

The intact fragment carries a memory of this being, and after entering the brain, it is rapidly overwriting the boy's own consciousness.

This is the true meaning behind Sister Lin's repeated saying, "Remember your own name."

It's not just a slogan; it's a literal means of survival.

Only by firmly remembering who you are can you prevent your memories from being completely overwritten when full memories are instilled.

The boy held on for about three seconds.

Then his expression changed, becoming a look that didn't belong to him.

He said something in that ancient language.

His brain was clearly overloaded.

The next moment he shattered, as if he had been burst by endless knowledge.

In the instant it shattered, the intact fragment shot out from his body, transforming into an extremely bright light along the inscription channel, passing through the vortex, through the sea of ​​blood, through the barrier, and shooting towards the rotunda.

The inner circle of the rotunda contains the coffin rooms.

The suspended blank scripture flipped to a certain page with a whoosh, and text automatically appeared at an extremely fast speed. The entire page was filled with writing.

Calvin stared at the scripture and muttered, "The first page...it's the first page! It's done!!"

And there, the Night's Watch shields.

When the light passed by Lu Yuan, he felt his reason being suddenly torn apart.

[Sanity: -4...29/140]

The Worm of Knowledge also sensed the resentment contained within that fragment.

It instinctively retreated, and the colors suddenly faded.

Center of the vortex.

The boy disappeared.

The fragmentation storm continues.

Only two girls remained standing in front of the ball of light.

He was tall and thin, pale but composed.

The other one is a petite girl.

The mark was passed to the tall, thin girl.

Without hesitation, she reached into the torrent of debris.

She was faster at the selection process than the boys.

But the same thing happened the moment the complete fragment was received.

Her memories are being overwritten and replaced.

She lasted a few seconds longer than the boy.

Because in the moments before she shattered, she kept repeating her own name.

again and again.

An attempt to stubbornly cling to one's own consciousness.

But in the end, it couldn't hold on.

The body disintegrated, fragments shot out, and another page of the scripture was filled.

[Sanity: -3...26/140]

Lu Yuan's rationality was also nearing its limit.

Before she disappeared, she slapped the mark onto the back of the petite girl's hand.

He didn't speak.

That's too late.

I only glanced at her.

She was all alone at the center of the vortex.

A storm of fragments roared around her.

Of the eighteen people who made it this far, only she remained.

The petite girl stood in front of the ball of light, the mark on the back of her hand glowing quietly.

Her condition was different from everyone else's.

The fragmentation storm automatically dispersed around her.

The fragments were deliberately avoiding her.

A vacuum zone with a diameter of about one meter was formed around her.

There were no fragments, no blood, nothing at all.

Quietly.

The Knowledge Worm witnessed this scene from above and sent a message back to Lu Yuan through the symbiotic connection, carrying a clear sense of confusion.

The petite girl looked down at her hands.

The mark is glowing, but the color of the light has changed.

It was no longer the pure white it used to be; it had turned into a pale gold.

It was the same color as the ripples beneath her feet.

She didn't reach out and grab the pieces like the people before her.

She just stood there.

Then a crack appeared on the surface of the light cluster.

A fragment slowly floated out from the crack.

very slow.

It was as if it was handed to me.

The fragments hovered in front of her.

The petite girl stared at the fragment for two seconds.

Then he reached out and touched it.

The fragments did not violently penetrate her brain.

Instead, it slowly blended in along the lines of her palm.

Her body did not disintegrate.

It was not covered.

She closed her eyes and stood quietly in the center of the vortex.

About five seconds later, she opened her eyes.

Her expression remained unchanged; it was still her.

But in her eyes, only a fleeting, dark purple glint appeared. Then it vanished.

The fragments shot out along the inscribed channel.

This one was brighter than the previous two, so bright that Lu Yuan, who was at the edge of the barrier, had to turn his head to avoid it.

[Sanity: -5...21/140]

The inner circle of the rotunda contains the coffin rooms.

The scriptures were turned over frantically. This time, it wasn't just one page that was filled; it was five pages in a row. The density of the text was more than an order of magnitude higher than the previous two times.

Calvin's hands were trembling.

Selena's expression changed for the first time.

She looked in the direction of the scriptures, her lips slightly parted.

But Calvin's gaze shifted from the scriptures to the coffin.

Three of the silver needles on the girl's body inside the coffin were broken.

[Taboo Studies - Seeker of Knowledge: +0.5...55.8/100]

The girl in charge of the transfer is about to reach her limit!
