Chapter 75 : Punishment for Wrong Answers
Suddenly, Elucia's figure appeared out of thin air in midair.
This black-hearted sadistic beautiful girl was now in little loli form, wearing a black gothic dress and high-heeled boots, with quite the dignity of a castle owner, making one only able to look up at her.
"Uu uu! (Elucia, what's going on?)"
Seeing Elucia appear, Lonis frantically nodded her head, hoping the other would untie her restraints.
But this little loli just smiled slightly and said:
"Oh Lonis, when you ventured deep into this castle just now, I had already explored the functions here thoroughly... Rejoice, this is simply a perfect environment tailor-made for you!"
"Uu? (Perfect environment?)"
"Mm, as you can see, there are lots of traps and punishments here, simply tailor-made for a masochist like you."
"Uu uu, uu uu! (I'm not a masochist, and besides, didn't we come here to study, not to be punished!)"
Lonis "angrily" tried to break free from her restraints, but those tentacles were not only numerous but also extraordinarily resilient. No matter how Lonis struggled, she could only make her body sway back and forth in midair.
"Hehe, of course we're here to study. But studying requires some pressure~ It's the last day, so we can't slack off."
"Uu...? (Elucia, what are you going to do?)"
"Of course, supervise your studying~"
Elucia snapped her fingers, and at this moment, a screen suddenly appeared in front of Lonis.
What appeared on it was actually a multiple choice question...
『In the previous era, there was once a leader called Hitler. Which country's leader was he?』
『A: Hebei Province. B: Germany. C: Holy Roman Empire. D: District 11.』
......
"That's right, Lonis~~~ Next, countless multiple choice questions will appear on the screen, and you need to respond within 10 seconds. If you don't answer or answer incorrectly, you'll be punished!"
"!!"
"Of course, questions you've already answered or key questions will also appear with small probability. If you still answer incorrectly, you'll receive punishment intensified 100 times."
"Uu uu?"
"Well then, I'll leave first. Have fun~~"
Seeing Elucia about to leave, Lonis's heart couldn't be more nervous... She frantically twisted her body, wailing loudly:
"Uu uu! (At least take off the tape from my mouth, how am I supposed to answer questions like this!)"
"Oh? Right, since this is a virtual world, you don't need to actually make sounds. You just need to focus your gaze on the choice to select it."
"Uu?"
"Well then, good luck with your studies."
Things had become like this.
Lonis was suspended in midair, only able to answer questions with full concentration. And if she failed to answer correctly, punishment would inevitably come.
(Wait, the Lantingji Xu was written by Wang Xizhi, not Lun Jie Zhou! I want to change my answer... no, too late?)
Seeing the big X mark on the screen, Lonis immediately broke out in cold sweat.
And the punishment that followed was equally terrifying.
"Uu uu!"
A huge whip-like tentacle struck directly at Lonis's chest... Though that area was very elastic and didn't bring Lonis pain, it made that part of the girl violently shake, feeling truly shameful.
At the same time, the tentacles binding the girl seemed to have increased by several more.
Not only wrapping around her knees, but also covering Lonis's forearms.
This meant: if Lonis continued to answer incorrectly, these terrifying tentacles would continuously spread over her skin, like a man-eating plant, completely enveloping her.
By then, the girl would be completely unable to move, like a small white mouse swallowed by a snake.
So...
(Lonis, do your best, you absolutely can't answer incorrectly!)
But...
Despite Lonis's hard work and diligent reviewing beforehand.
But there were 200 questions in one hour!
Lonis couldn't possibly get them all completely right, and some questions were very obscure, completely unmemorable.
So after answering for several hours, the silver-haired girl quickly approached "despair."
"Uu uu? Uu uu!"
Those fierce-looking tentacles hadn't completely covered the girl's body.
Even from a distance, Lonis's clothes now looked more presentable than at the beginning: she wore jet-black long gloves and thigh-high stockings, the black rubber making her look like a nightclub queen, sexy and mature.
But only Lonis knew... these weren't gloves and thigh-highs at all, but mimetic clothing formed by the solidification of those tentacles!
Her legs and hands had completely fallen, like being immersed in a cage made of feathers, constantly feeling tickling sensations.
Though her vital parts hadn't been attacked yet, it was almost time.
Those terrifying tentacles were only 5 centimeters away from her underwear... Lonis had no doubt that if she answered a key question incorrectly, she would definitely suffer torment worse than death.
And just at this moment,
A very difficult key question appeared on the big screen:
『Please accurately answer the real name of a girl called the Sun Loli God in the previous era.』
......
"Not bad, 90% accuracy rate~"
Looking at Lonis still "fighting" hard, Elucia breathed a sigh of relief.
Though whether she'd be admitted still depended on practical combat and interview scores, such a high accuracy rate at least proved that Lonis could definitely pass the professional course section.
In fact, being able to learn so much in one week already proved Lonis had certain abilities... definitely not the "idiot and fool" that Elucia usually mocked.
But even so, Elucia still wouldn't change her attitude toward Lonis.
After all,
A master is a master, a slave is a slave.
A slave maid's duty is to accept the master's bullying and toying.
Never mind that Lonis was already somewhat masochistic—even if she were a burly giant, Elucia would use various means to train her into an obedient soft girl~
Because this was already decided in the contract and couldn't be changed.
Unless...
......
Elucia's expression darkened, not continuing that thought.
She turned her gaze away, looking again at this space before her, this world within the pleasure device.
That black castle standing under dark clouds, the blood-watered patterns, plus the unexpected traps... These distinctive features were impossible for Elucia to mistake.
This was the stronghold of Trickster Demon Lord's subordinate general, Tesca.
In the real world, this place was extremely twisted and mad. Ordinary people stepping inside wouldn't last half a day before being completely driven insane, becoming heartbroken and frenzied monsters.
But the appearance of such scenes in the pleasure device meant...
"The current Clear Academy really is full of hidden talents. I didn't expect that besides me, there were others who had challenged the Trickster Demon Lord..."
Elucia shook her head, her crimson pupils seeming to flicker with a trace of long-lost nostalgia.
