The Devil’s Cage Chapter 23: Late night Library


When Micha woke up, it was already late at night.

The freshmen welcome party of Teorute is already over, and only some teachers are doing the final cleaning in e5 teaching building.

what happened?

Shaking his head, Micha, who had just recovered from his coma, was clearly not awake.

However, a few seconds later, Micha recalled together.

2567!

Devil!

The moment Memories appeared, the whole person of Micha shivered uncontrollably.

He stood up swayingly, and walked out dimly.

But before Micha walked to the door, he stopped him with a voice.

"Micha."

"You wake up so timely."

"If you can't wake up again, I will use a special method."

Neatly dressed Stein appeared in front of Micha.

"Go away."

Micha said grumpyly.

"I miss it too, but..."

"I didn’t appear here because of myself."

Stein shrugged bitterly.

"What do you mean?"

Micha asked with a frown.

"2567 became Chief Student."

Stein said.

"Well, this is inevitable."

There is no surprise for Micha. The formidable shown by the other party is strange if it does not become Chief Student.

Immediately, when Stein spoke the next message, Micha would be stared wide-eyed.

"The two of us became his deputies."

"What are you talking about?"

"I said, the two of us became his deputies, designated by 2567 himself"

"Why is this happening?"

"It is estimated that because the two of us impressed him, or... In freshmen , he ‘knows’ us both.”

The bitter smile in the corner of Stein's mouth is getting bitter.

Being a deputy to Chief Student is not a good thing for him who has long-term goals and detailed plans.

Because everyone knows, Chief Student's deputy Cost Required has a lot of time and energy to help Chief Student complete the supervision and management of students of the entire age.

Once you become the deputy of Chief Student, you are saying goodbye to all extracurricular activities.

Also, sometimes, it will become a scapegoat.

Of course, even so, there are still many ordinary students willing to take up this position.

After all, that represents the position under one person throughout the grade.

The things power and class always make people happy.

"Did you not refuse?"

Micha asked rhetorically.

However, only after the words are spoken, Micha saw the Stein that the whole person would be dying.

"I really want to refuse."

"But...I dare not."

"When I looked at him, I felt like a frog to be peeled, not only helpless but also terrified."

Stein said truthfully.

Chief Student's deputy can refuse this position, but the consequences of the refusal must also be borne by himself.

Obviously, Stein does not think he can bear such consequences.

Same thing for Micha.

Even, in some ways, he felt the horror of Kieran more deeply, and now when he closes his eyes, the shadow of Devil is roaring at him.

"Okay, I know."

Micha nodded.

After finishing speaking, Micha will leave. He needs a good rest now. It is best to be able to eat something, and the rest will be said after he rests well.

But before waiting for Micha to leave, Stein smiled bitterly again.

"What's the matter?"

"You don’t think I’m here to explain this to you?"

"What do you mean?"

Micha heart raised a bad hunch.

"Your Excellency 2567, which has just become Chief Student, has handed us all missions such as registration, room allocation, school uniform distribution, etc. for all freshmen ."

"Everyone has been waiting outside for a long time, but you haven't awakened yet, and I can't make the decision alone."

"Simply put, you and I need to complete these things overnight. If we can't complete them, we will be punished by Your Excellency 2567 for doing things unfavorably."

Stein explained.

"How can this be done?"

"I'm going to Student Council to protest!"

Micha, who was not completely ignorant of Teorute, immediately shouted loudly, and then he saw the helpless Stein again.

"What's the matter?"

Micha's eyelids jumped for a while, and his bad hunch reappeared.

"Just Sinar teacher announced that Your Excellency 2567 has been recommended to enter Student Council, so if you go to Student Council to protest, the most likely result is to be directly punished."

"Trust me, people at Teorute Student Council will definitely do this."

Stein told Micha another message.

Suddenly, Micha opened his mouth and was completely speechless.

When I heard that he became the chief deputy, although Micha was surprised, the surprise was fleeting, but now Micha is really scared.

Teorute Student Council!

What that place represents, no one knows better than Micha.

In fact, when he came to Teorute, Micha set himself up in the fourth grade and tried to join Student Council.

Even if it’s just an ordinary member.

As for the beginning of school?

He doesn’t want to die!

Be aware that there is...

Hell!

Thinking of what rumor's Micha immediately shivered.

Then, Micha once again thought of the figure of Devil, almost involuntarily, Micha launched some associations.

Don’t...

With a trace of speculation in my heart, Micha quickly stood up straight and looked at Stein seriously.

"Our job is mission for all freshmen registration, room allocation, school uniform distribution, etc.?"

"Start now!"

"I can't wait to start working."

Micha walked out as he spoke.

Looking at Micha, which is diametrically opposite in an instant, Stein has no surprises.

You know, there is Student Council of Teorute!

People like him don’t want to set foot there all their lives.

Because, there are not only deaths there.

More often than not, it’s better to die!

Hoo!

takes a deep breath, Stein put his thoughts out of his mind and quickly chased toward Micha.

It’s not that he went there anyway.

Is there anything to worry about.

As for 2567, will you worry about this?

This is not something Stein can care about.

However, in Stein's opinion, the other party must be a bit worried, even if it is not shown.

......

It tastes good.

Although the food packaged from the freshmen dinner does not have the special effect that can increase source energy, the light theory is quite good.

Kieran leaned back in the chair while using his left hand to put a piece of cake dotted with strawberries into his mouth, and on his right hand, it was a ‘Chief Student need to know’.

The rights and obligations of Chief Student are roughly listed above.

Aside from the necessary responsibility to maintain the entire grade and some unrelated regulations, the most attractive thing about Kieran is the extra ‘LunchRank food supply every semester.

"Is "Lunch" Rank?"

Kieran recalled the incomplete information collected after entering Dungeon World today, which accelerated the speed of supper eating. When the last piece of cake disappeared, Kieran stood up and was ready to go to Library.

Teorute's Library is open all day.

However, entry after dark requires special proof.

Of course, Kieran as Chief Student is not required.

A silver plate school badge, which is different from that of ordinary students, appears in the hands of Kieran.

[Name: Teorute School Badge (Chief Student)]

[Category: miscellaneous]

[Quality: Magic]

[Property: digestion]

[Special Effect: None]

[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]

[Remarks: It is not only a proof of your Chief Student, but also a glory]

......

[Digestion: speed up the digestion of food]

......

This was given to him by Sinar after he became Chief Student.

A Magical Rank that is very rich in Teorute features item, Kieran did not refuse, he will not refuse any of his own income, especially this kind with invisible benefits.

The most direct, he only needs to bring this school badge with him, without wearing it, he can get the qualification to avoid wearing school uniform and passing several prohibited areas.

As at this moment, after seeing the Chief Student school badge in the hands of Kieran, the guards on campus not only immediately let go, but also bowed down to salute them.

In the gaze of the guard, Kieran's figure quickly disappeared into Curtain of Night.

Kieran did not leave zone e.

In every area of ​​Teorute, there is Library.

In fact, not only Library in every district, but also all the school facilities such as teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, canteens, etc., some other facilities such as shopping malls, pedestrian streets, etc. also exist, each district is like It is a small city.

However, at night, these places are closed.

Walking on Kieran in Curtain of Night, eyes glanced over those places that fell into darkness.

In his Intuition, these places shrouded in darkness are more or less hidden with some inexplicable breath, not dangerous.

Instead it is Defensive Force Field!

In addition to the guards who just patrolled, it is clear that the Teorute at night is far less safe and calm than imagined.

But these have nothing to do with Kieran for the time being.

He just wants to get to Library quickly to get the information he wants.

According to the map in memory, as long as he turns the corner of the street in front of him, he can reach the destination of this trip.

So, Kieran is speeding up again.

But when Kieran turned the corner, it frowned.

In front of me is a fourth floor founder building. Except for the gate on the first floor, there is a row of 25 windows for every first floor up.

Everything seems to be fine.

At most, it's a bit conspicuous in the dark e-zone.

But when Kieran looked up, he saw a pair of eyes!

Pair of squinted eyes.

Under the eyes is a nose with a high valgus, and the mouth under the nose...

It is Library!

Yes, it is Library!

The brightly lit Library is the mouth of the huge monster completely covered by shadows!

Simply put, when you enter Library, you enter the monster's mouth.

The frowning Kieran stopped.

For Kieran, tasting food is a wonderful thing, but this does not mean that he is willing to put himself as food into the mouth of other creatures.

Tread, tread.

Clear, unobtrusive footsteps sounded.

A figure came from behind.

When the other party was turning, he was taken aback by the Kieran who suddenly appeared in front of him, but then, as if he had thought of something, he was slightly relieved.

"Are you a little surprised?"

The other person asked, pointing at Library in the distance.

"Uh."

Kieran nodded.

"Trust me, you are not the first person so surprised, and definitely not the last one."

"Originally, when I first came here at night, I was shocked by "Librarian", and even nearly fell to the ground."

"But please believe me, "Librarian" is much gentler than what you see, and if she has good luck, she will explain to you the difficulties encountered."

Facing the Kieran who nodded calmly, the other party smiled.

"You said she was "Librarian"?"

Kieran asked.

"Accurately speaking, she is the "Library Librarian" in the e zone, which is not the same as the Librarian in several other zones."

"Of course, I am not familiar with Librarian in several other districts."

"Do you need to be together?"

The other party corrected the words of Kieran, and then directly sent an invitation~IndoMTL.com~Kieran thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No need anymore."

Kieran said, and he was about to leave, while the other party shrugged.

"What a pity."

The other party said that it seemed to be going alone, but the next moment, when Kieran passed by, the other party raised his hand and would grab it towards the shoulder of Kieran.

But when the other party raised his hand, the other party suddenly discovered that the palm of Kieran did not know when he had grabbed his neck collar.

The other party's face changed.

"I think..."

The other party's subconscious interpretation is necessary, but the words are only spoken, and his body flew out like a thrown javelin, plunging into ‘Library’.

Click!

The door of ‘Library’ immediately broke.

Following the break is the exterior wall, windows and lights of ‘Library’.

It seems to be a broken mirror, exposing the fine fangs hidden behind the mirror.

Crunch.

In the slight chewing sound, the person thrown in was crushed.

After waiting for the middle of the night, it was finally a monster that didn’t come home empty-handed, and he was so satisfied that he planned to leave.

Although it sees Kieran, it knows that it occasionally eats a small snack that "bumps into" its mouth. No one will take care of it, but if it does take the initiative to eat it, it may be big. Troublesome.

Just, just as it turned around, it suddenly heard a swallowing sound.

The sound is like some horrible existence in its memory.

However, right away, it shook its huge head and wanted to throw this ridiculous idea into his mind.

"How can those horrible guys appear in Teorute? It must be how I think... Hiss, hiss! Pain, pain! Loose mouth! Loose mouth!"
