Worm Candidate Academy [Infinite]

A mystery-solving fairy-tale-style infinite-flow story. Welcome aboard!

[Candidate Duan Sanling, welcome to the entrance examination for candidate freshmen of Wormwood Academy, Branch 123456.]

[Your examination paper: The Mermaid Orphanage]

[Exam format: Individual]

[Time allotted for exploring the exam questions: 24 hours]

[A friendly reminder from the school: Candidates, please do not disturb the undersea natives. They are always infinitely hostile toward strangers.]

After Duan Sanling died, she arrived in a world called Wormwood and somehow became a first-year student at the local academy.

From then on, she lived a happy and wonderful campus life (crossed out).

The streets outside the campus were bustling:

An octopus-headed creature waved its long tentacles and handed out flyers, shouting, "Authentic takoyaki! Freshly cut, strawberry-flavored, moldy octopus tentacles, tender and juicy! Limited-edition strawberry flavor today, only 10 silver coins a box. Don't buy one and you'll regret it!"

The doors of the True Detective murder-mystery shop stood wide open. An elegant young woman smiled as she introduced it: "Black Forest novelist Ben Tan's newest promising work, The Case of Miss Dove's Disappearance! A hot five-hour mystery game. Not 998, not 888, just 688, and you can take the fun home!"

Mr. Crocodile, wearing a black suit and a red bow tie, sat stiffly and stared gravely at the computer screen in front of him. "Don't know how to manage your money? Don't know how to invest? The financial crocodile will teach you one-on-one, step by step, so you can start building wealth and achieve your dreams of success! To sign up, ask the crocodile putting on airs beside me. The fee depends on your bargaining skills. Best of luck!"

The exam sites on campus were strange and varied:

[The deep sea is full of countless corpses, some belonging to the natives and others to outsiders.]

[Welcome to the City of Chaos. Follow the Twenty Rules of Bad Behavior and do your best to become today's Star of Incivility!]

[At four in the morning, the crimson flowers are still awake. The red carp in the coffin has countless burial treasures.]
