"Intelligence II"

Confused as hell I tried to gather my power and give this challenge an end. An inner voice was forcing me to think that it was hard and impossible to crack the code of the sentence, but my brain kept telling me that since it was the first challenge it must be easy. Probably easier than I thought.

"It takes intelligence" i thought, "and intelligence has nothing to do with hard work. It's just being able to find an easy solution to something that seems impossible to others."

I was starting to clear up my thoughts and I got the note out of my pocket.

" B???? ??? ?? ??????U? B?? ???????E??? IS ?????L "

As i was staring at it I started to think that everything that happened, happened for a reason and it had to do with the code. So I looked at it once more and I noticed that the first letter was B.

"B...Ummm...First I was transported in a room full of models and they were all pretty and... beautiful."
The first moment I said that word I had a feeling. I started counting the letters and I formed the word  "Beauty". It fitted perfectly so I was more than sure that this was the first word.
I got excited.

"Fine. Let's do this, I said as I started looking at the other words.

They were too short. I was thinking about the incident with the lion so the words that came in my mind were lion, scary, scream and strange.
Then I remembered the words I heard.

"Not well thought actions lead to dangerous situations"

"Thoughts, actions... none of these fits the words in my sentence. I have to think. What was the main purpose of the whole thing? Dangerous.
Oh my, sure the fourth word is Dangerous. The second and the third are linkers and prepositions." I said smiling as if someone else was listening.

So far I had gathered the words Beauty and Dangerous.
They were a lot but not enough.I hadn't even finished half of the sentence.
I started to think again. Surely this challenge had to do with intelligence because it asked for a lot of critical thinking.

"Beauty and dangerous, beauty and dangerous, beauty and dangerous" I kept repeating as if I wanted to remember something that I had heard before.
Then something came in my mind. When I had lost all hopes, I gathered them all again and said with a loud voice to the small camera that I had noticed in the ceiling:
"BEAUTY MAY BE DANGEROUS BUT INTELLIGENCE IS LETHAL"

Nothing happened. I fainted again.

I woke up in a room, sitting in a chair with some electronic devices attached to me through some threads.
"You did a good job out there." said the woman who was taking the devices out of me. "Compared to others you were amazing."

It felt weird because I didn't even knew what she was talking about. What had I slayed?

Kinda short and confusing, but hey, isn't life itself like that? 😉
