206 I’m Dead? (III)
“That’s why we have to treat every target that might be a creature from another world with caution.”
Lin Ye paused for a while.
“How long will it take?”
“Ten days at the earliest,” The interrogator replied.
“And a month at the latest. It’s mainly to see when the advanced Professionals at the front line are free to come over.”
“That’s too slow,” Lin Ye shook his head.
“I’ve been in Hive-like for four months and didn’t report to Tianqi University in time. Now that I’m back, there must be a lot of important things waiting for me to do.”
“I can’t waste time here.”
“Besides, I haven’t even cleared the dungeon yet. Staying here for another month means that I’ll be stuck at level 15 for another month.”
‘Wait a minute!’
‘Hive-like dungeon…’
‘This is a way to prove my identity temporarily!’
With that in mind, Lin Ye looked at the interrogators before him, “You will doubt my identity.”
“It’s mainly because the teleportation gate to enter the Hive dungeon has closed on its own, and the fire pass badge used to open the gate has also disappeared. So we can no longer open the teleportation channel between the two spaces.”
“That’s why you think I won’t be able to exit the dungeon.”
“That I would be trapped there, right?”
The interrogators nodded.
“Yes.”
“It’s always the same with the previous challengers,”
“You should have died in that place,”
“But the result is…”
Lin Ye turned his head and looked at the wall of the interrogation room on his right.
“What if I can open the portal to Hive by myself?”
“Because I have the authority to leave and re-enter Hive-like world at any time. The fire-passing badge felt that I no longer needed its help, so it took the initiative to cut off the connection between the real world and Hive-like world and returned wherever it came from.”
“…. Do you think this reason is reliable?” The interrogator asked.
Lin Ye started communicating with the secret dungeon.
Suddenly, the wall of the interrogation room began to twist and transform, and a small black hole appeared. It rapidly rotated and expanded, gradually becoming a regular portal to the realm.
…
[Dungeon: Hive (large secret dungeon) ]
[level: LV 12 – 15]
[Difficulty: Purgatory (despair)]
[Description: The path you have chosen is a trial for you. In many cases, you will lose even more miserably, but those who persist in their own path and never give up will eventually find the true darkness in the distance.]
…
“???”
Looking at the black portal in front of them and the information on the system prompt bar, several interrogators suddenly turned pale with fright and stood up from their chairs.
‘What the–!?’
‘How is this possible?!’
‘All of his skills are sealed, he didn’t use any items, and he can still open the portal to the secret dungeon?’
Lin Ye sighed helplessly, “Don’t be surprised.”
“Compared to the things I’ve seen in Hive, opening a secret realm teleportation gate that leads to the inside of Hive…”
“This is nothing at all.”
Lin Ye paused and looked at the gray floor under his feet. He continued,
“And…”
“You guys should have realized it by now.”
“As long as I open a Hive-like door under my feet to enter the secret realm, you can’t stop me from leaving this interrogation room.”
“Isn’t this current imprisonment process a little unnecessary?”
“So can you…”
“Let me go first?”
