Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1005 - 466: Rona’s Cunning Move, The Bizarre Knowledge School
[You collect the letter and the travel map, then look toward the basement exit.]
[Two paintings of the Cage of the Stars are neatly propped against the corner of the wall, likely placed there by Rona after your ’feigned death’...]
"Rona has already gone to the headquarters of the Multivision Association..."
Lin Xun frowned.
The Multivision Association headquarters housed entities of divine levels such as Prophets and Great Prophets.
According to previous information, although these Prophets had become Chaotic monsters, they could still continue to protect the School and even occasionally venture out into battle, which certainly hid some secret plots.
Lin Xun had witnessed the Great Sage summoning a Prophet from the Imperial City and killing a projection of the Star Gods when he directly confronted the Branch Association in the Second Capital.
Therefore, whether it was him or Rona, going to the Multivision Association headquarters was an extremely risky move.
Even though Rona had ascended to a divine level, the headquarters of the Multivision Association was the den of the Knowledge Scholars. There was definitely more than one Prophet-level Scholar there. If she accidentally exposed her identity, she might not even be able to escape.
Not to mention Lin Xun was still at the demigod level, any Prophet could easily overpower him.
"Maybe Rona just went to scout for information, and the situation isn’t as bad as I thought."
Lin Xun took the two paintings and left the civilian house, boarded the Refined Copper carriage, and followed the route on the travel map to the headquarters of the Multivision Association.
[...]
[After a long journey, the Refined Copper carriage finally arrived at the destination.]
[You step off the carriage and immediately hear a noisy cacophony of voices ahead.]
[Due to the thick fog, visibility is low outside, and you have to strain your eyes to see clearly that there are many carriages and bustling figures in the fog ahead, seemingly a gathering of many Scholars.] 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
[Further in the distance is the blurry outline of the three tall buildings of the ’Polyvision School Association’.]
To infiltrate the Multivision Association successfully, Lin Xun had now switched into the ’Shell’ of a ’Scholar from the Multivision Branch Association’.
Considering the need to conceal his identity, he had placed both paintings inside the carriage and did not carry them with him.
[You lower the brim of your scholar hat and, holding the magic wand, you quickly step forward...]
[The bustling voices drift through the fog into your ears...]
[Have you all heard? That woman has come back!]
[Isn’t that obvious? Who doesn’t know about it now?]
[I never thought that shameless traitor would dare to return to the School. If I bump into that traitor, I’ll definitely show them what dense Knowledge is!]
[Hmph! The Great Sage from the Imperial City, who had the greatest potential to become a Prophet and the only female Great Sage, on whom the School had spent countless resources, betrayed the School at the peak of her fame and fell into the heresy of chasing the Stars...]
[How does she have the face to come back, and how dare she? Is she coming here with a guilty conscience to accept judgment? Too late! All heretics who chase the Stars deserve to be executed, no exceptions!]
Lin Xun’s heart sank.
Rona had only recently ascended to divine status, and it was already an extraordinary accomplishment for her to escape from the hands of the Star Gods.
Now that Rona had infiltrated the headquarters of the Multivision Association, it was akin to entering the enemy’s lair alone. It was expected that she could not match the strength of the many Prophet-level powerhouses she would face.
"This is getting complicated. Initially, I only needed to rescue Bennett, and now Rona has been caught too. I need to save both of them at the same time..."
[Shh! Are you trying to get killed? Keep it down!]
[The higher-ups of the School are currently holding a symposium for this matter. Rona the Great Sage... Rona is not actually a traitor, she knows something we don’t...]
[What else could there be? The School has never been lenient with oath-breakers. Rona daring to return to the School means she’s on a path to death!]
[Tsk, how did you ever manage to become a secretary with such a small brain? Since Rona dared to return brazenly and wasn’t immediately executed by the upper echelons of the School, there must be another story to it.]
[Come on, stop beating around the bush and tell us!]
[Yeah, stop stalling and spit it out!]
[Ahem, you’d better listen up, because according to reliable information, Rona is not actually a traitor but a secret undercover agent assigned by the Great Prophet!]
[She didn’t betray the True God but was carrying out the order of the Great Prophet to infiltrate the Polar Star Association and penetrate the core of the enemy organization!]
[After enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens for a long time, Rona successfully overthrew the Polar Star Association and even killed the highest leader, the Executor...]
[What!]
[That’s impossible!]
[The Polar Star Association has been overthrown? The Executor was killed by Rona? Are you sure there’s no mistake?!]
[Heh, of course there’s no mistake! The source of his news is very reliable, and now we should no longer call her Great Sage Rona but should respectfully refer to her as Prophet Rona!]
[The symposium of the School’s high echelons will likely conclude soon. If his prediction is correct, the School should announce this news tomorrow and vindicate Prophet Rona.]
[Prophet Rona? Cough, who was it that said Rona was a traitor and wanted to infuse her with dense Knowledge? Certainly not him!]
[So Rona was the undercover agent sent by the Great Prophet to the Polar Star Association. I knew it, everything makes sense now...]
[Exactly, exactly! I saw through it all long ago. Who in their right mind would betray the School under its tremendous support and at the brink of becoming a Prophet, to become a heretic of the Stars?]
[Anyway, if I were Rona, I would never do such a foolish thing.]
