Inside the painting classroom, bright lights shone on the walls, refracting a faint halo.

Each colorful painting hanging on the wall seemed to possess its own vitality, constantly whispering ancient secrets.

The air in the classroom seemed to freeze temporarily, filled with a silent tension.

Lan Qi shifted his gaze from the paintings and gently looked at Mogut, the senior professor of the art department, a shallow smile on his lips, his eyes as bright as the stars in the night.

The other two students answered more and more smoothly in the latter half of the class. Lan Qi didn't help or make things difficult for them anymore.

After class, they received their credit coins and quickly left the classroom.

Only Professor Mogut, Lan Qi, and Hyperion remained in the classroom, discussing how to realize Lan Qi's qualification reward.

"...You can ask for anything. If it's within my power, I will try my best to satisfy it."

Professor Mogut pondered, his dark eyes gleaming with profound light, and finally said.

He really couldn't think of what reward he could give Lan Qi.

Even for the previous record of 21 points, the rewards were things that could be taken from the art department at will.

Now, during this special period, the vice-principal had warned them that they must strictly follow the rules. So even if Lan Qi asked for the moon, he would have to accept it.

Besides, Lan Qi already possessed artistic talent that made Mogut curious, and he didn't want to suppress such a gifted student.

"I would like to ask two questions. Can you guarantee that you will answer them to the best of your knowledge and resolve my doubts?"

Lan Qi asked politely.

He didn't become conceited because of his performance in class.

"Yes, I guarantee you in the name of the Kalpas family that I will answer your questions to the best of my knowledge."

Professor Mogut hesitated slightly, then solemnly accepted.

If it was such a simple request that didn't embarrass him at all, then it could only be said that this student's path had widened.

However.

Just as Professor Mogut's mood gradually relaxed.

Lan Qi's question exploded in his heart like a thunderclap –

"Please tell me, what do you think is the biggest crisis that will happen in the academy next, and what is the turning point in your opinion?"

Lan Qi stared at Professor Mogut with a serious expression and asked.

Now that he was sure that the transaction had been established and had obtained Professor Mogut's absolute guarantee.

Then it was okay to ask more directly, even wildly, pursuing a one-step solution.

But next, even Lan Qi didn't expect Professor Mogut's reaction to be so intense!

"You, how do you know?"

Suddenly, Professor Mogut lost his voice and almost shouted the question.

His eyes stared at Lan Qi, as if he suddenly realized something, but he couldn't believe it.

At this moment, Mogut recalled Lan Qi's seemingly omniscient wisdom, omnipotent talent, and unfathomable mind, and a terrible guess gradually rose in his heart!

But Mogut didn't dare to ask Lan Qi back.

He only felt his heart pounding, as if it wanted to jump out of his chest.

Some things were starting to add up!

"Professor, you shouldn't answer a question with a question."

Lan Qi said in a deep voice.

He couldn't let this senior professor know that he had learned the clues from the Shadow World information and the music classroom.

Now he just needed to let this professor honestly fulfill their agreement first.

"!"

Professor Mogut's brow twitched when he heard the words. Facing Lan Qi's deep eyes, his heart seemed to become more and more uncontrollable.

He tried to interpret Lan Qi's eyes, but he found that he couldn't read any secrets from these emerald-like pupils!

Mogut lowered his head and tried to breathe, calming his composure.

Then, he finally sighed deeply.

Everything made Mogut feel that the Radiant Devil in front of him was very likely the envoy from Demon King City that the vice-principal had mentioned.

And the question raised by the envoy was an attempt to make contact with the school's higher-ups.

After all, among the teachers in the school who knew the envoy's identity, besides the vice-principal, there were only a few of their senior professors.

To meet a senior professor and talk to them alone, one had to pass a classroom with a difficulty level of 3.

Mogut also understood that today, regardless of whether Lan Qi was this envoy or not, having made such an agreement just now, he should go along with the flow and honestly tell the answer.

"Yes, our academy is now facing a major crisis. And this crisis may break out tonight."

Mogut slowly admitted, his voice full of helplessness and worry, and his gaze fell on Lan Qi again, as if nervously waiting for Lan Qi's every reaction.

"Before long, an envoy from the Blood Clan will come to the school to investigate the humans that the Blood Clan believes may exist in the academy."

"Once discovered, all of us high-level members of the academy will not be able to escape responsibility."

"If there is really a problem with the academy, the only one who can save us is the envoy from Demon King City."

When he finished saying this sentence.

Mogut looked at Lan Qi with hopeful eyes, as if the last sentence was directed at Lan Qi.

He thought, if this was the envoy.

At this point, it was time to reveal his cards.

"..."

Lan Qi didn't move, seemingly thinking, processing the overwhelmingly large amount of information.

And Hyperion, next to him, tried his best to control his expression so that it didn't change, and his heart had already begun to roar wildly.

An envoy from Demon King City?

Could it be the silver-haired demon that Lan Qi had killed in the Demon King's restaurant!

So, the hidden storyline in this Shadow World was actually a multi-party melee between "humans disguised as demons in the academy", "academy leaders who don't want to suffer", "Blood Clan envoys who want to find humans", "Demon Realm Supervisory Office who dare not provoke the Blood Clan", and "the Demon King's envoy"!

And the only way for challengers to survive tonight was to grasp information as early as possible, and with the help of demons with different positions, find a way to survive in the cracks while the demons restrained each other internally!

It was a life-and-death challenge and horror game that required strategies, courage, and survival skills to be brought to the extreme.

After carefully understanding how many hidden powerful enemies really wanted to challenge his life in this fourth-order Shadow World, even Hyperion couldn't help but feel a moment of bone-chilling fear.

But now.

Hyperion discovered.

There was a danger that all demons and blood clans had not predicted - Lan Qi, relying on his own strength, had completely stirred up this muddy water in a situation that no one knew about!

"..."

Lan Qi was still silent.

He silently took out the black jade seal he had looted from the silver-haired demon from the inside pocket of his coat.

He imprinted it into Professor Mogut's eyes.

Silence speaks louder than words.
