The Invisible Woman let out a shrill cry, and then Zhong Xu slapped her. Clear finger marks appeared on her fair skin, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
"What are you yelling about? Useless thing!"
The invisible woman seemed to feel no pain, and even showed an expression of gratitude and flattery, still looking at Zhong Xu with a charming face:
"Master, what did I do wrong?"
It screamed because Zhong Xu's strength suddenly increased. Although there were a few ants underneath, Zhong Xu thought it was just a little embellishment on a boring day.
He even wanted to admire the struggling and painful expressions of these intruders as they were being devoured bit by bit.
Although the mermaid, the white snake, and the peacock were already boring toys in Zhong Xu's eyes and were just props for guests to vent their emotions, he still liked the fox very much.
Now the butler was outside the account, reporting the results of the battle in a lukewarm tone: all were wiped out.
Four level nine evil creatures cannot stop a group of humans.
Zhong Xu began to take it seriously. Maybe the destruction of the casino was not a coincidence. Maybe there was someone like him among this group of people
Most of the contenders back then were driven out of the tower. Could it be that some of them are still alive
Zhong Xu stood up and decided to meet the team in person.
If you have an obese body, you can feel the fat trembling if you move the slightest.
The Invisible Woman suddenly said:
"Master, why don't you let me kill them? The fourth floor is my territory."
"Several people have already died. Are you sure?" Zhong Xu looked at the Invisible Woman with a questioning look.
The Invisible Woman smiled and said:
"I'm not like those toys."
Zhong Xu recalled that he had not been to the fourth floor for some time. That place was indeed the home of the Invisible Woman. Among all the toys, his favorite ones would be placed on the fourth floor.
This also led to an incident that happened a few years ago.
Fortunately, the accident was later transferred to another area with the help of forces outside the tower.
"Go ahead and don't let me down."
"Yes, sir." The Invisible Woman retreated from the top floor of the attic.
Her consciousness spread throughout the attic, and soon she turned into a person familiar to Bai Wu and others.
…
…
The fourth floor of the fortress, the maze.
The fourth floor is blocked by pieces of crystal, making the originally empty space extremely complex in structure.
But even stranger are the crystals themselves.
The Shadow Crystal was created by a little blacksmith, a little octopus, and a big trouble behind them. They collected many materials and spirit-sustaining items to create this Shadow Crystal Labyrinth, which is a paradise for a ruler, but also a laboratory for an evil experiment.
However, the experiment failed. Due to the huge resentment of a certain woman, the power of the reflecting crystal was absorbed by her, leaving only a very weak part. In the end, she became a monster that could not be killed no matter what. Burning, strong acid corrosion, and dismemberment were all meaningless and would only make her become more and more.
She became a monster that could destroy the entire area, so the blacksmith had to use another tool to move her to an unknown area. Smart as you are, have you guessed who I'm talking about
Beauty mole, Chen Shuyue.
Bai Wu looked at these crystals and put some things together.
"The Reflection Crystal can replicate the person it shines on. This ability should be some kind of multiplication ability. Because Chen Shuyue is too beautiful, she was almost made into a specimen by the rulers of this place..."
"But this painful process made her feel extremely resentful, so much so that... she devoured the power of the crystal and formed an indestructible legendary distortion item - infinite proliferation. In a sense, she devoured the treasures of the rulers and merchants, and the formation of the legendary item was also done with the help of external forces."
"Chen Shuyue's evolution was completely out of control. She might not have been very powerful at that time, but she relied on constant proliferation and devouring... to grow at an extremely fast speed, so that the ruler of this fortress and the forces behind it had to find a way to transfer her in advance."
"The method of transfer should be related to the way the casino summons other evil spirits."
"As for the merchant blacksmith, and Jingwu behind them, they are obviously planning something. At present, it seems that the ruler has a very close connection with Jingwu."
The structure of the crystal maze was very complicated, but Bai Wu didn't care.
The eyes did not give any riddles this time, and the notes gave a series of naughty hints, making it very easy for Bai Wu to deal with them.
If you go left, after nine and three quarters minutes, you will enter Hogwarts by mistake... Oh, you took the wrong script, you will return to the starting point, anyway, this road is a dead end.
Now the crystal has become a part of the scene and is difficult to destroy. After the power of the Shadow Crystal was absorbed by Chen Shuyue and evolved into a legendary distortion item that proliferated infinitely, the ability of the crystal was weakened a lot.
The structure of the maze is extremely complex. Although you won't get lost, there are other variables.
In the pale blue crystal, the reflection that Lin Wurou was looking at suddenly stopped.
"Fuck you! Go away! Why did I meet a ghost again!"
Back then in Violet's manor, the evil spirit in the mirror left Lin Wurou with a deep psychological trauma, and the value on his watch instantly soared to over ninety.
Wang Shi and Wujiu looked in the direction of Lin Wurou and instantly felt the chill.
Lin Wurou's reflection in the crystal—alive.
Bai Wu had discovered before that the reflections in these crystals were not coordinated, and as they went deeper into the maze, this incoordination became more and more obvious.
Lin Wu Rou was clearly standing still, but her "shadow" in the water was constantly hitting the crystal, as if trying to break through the wall.
Seeing this scene reminded Lin Wu Rou of the ghost in the mirror in the manor before, and he took several steps back in fright.
"Stay calm, he won't come out for the time being. Look back." Bai Wu pointed to the place where they had passed before.
An even more horrifying scene appeared on the crystal barrier. Wujiu and the others followed the guidance of the white mist and found that some strange things appeared on the crystal wall they came from.
Legs, hands, eyes, ears, or a vague mask outline. In short, they are all parts of the body, and the color of these things is very light, almost transparent.
But if you are willing to stop and observe, you will find that this transparency is slowly being filled.
Soon, Mo Hu's face took on a white misty appearance, like a line drawing that was slowly being filled with colors and details, making the unrecognizable appearance gradually clearer.
The feet, hands, ears, eyes, and other parts of the body were also growing little by little, gradually forming a complete person.
Of course, these are all things that happened later and are Bai Wu’s inference.
However, the members of the vanguard group never doubted Bai Wu's words.
"Is he going to crawl out..." Lin Wu Rou was still very afraid of this kind of horror and weird reality.
Bai Wu said:
"If we keep delaying, it will indeed come out if there is enough time."
Lin Wurou was like a child frightened by a horror movie:
"Then... will this one that escaped be very powerful?"
"I don't know, but we can try." Bai Wu showed an interested expression.
Lin Wurou shook her head like a rattle:
"You can try it if you want. I don't want to. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, stop dawdling. Lead the way and get out of this damn place!"
Everyone continued on their way.
A few minutes after they left, those broken parts really began to slowly turn into a complete person, just like Shen Shuyue who was in a state of infinite proliferation.
Bai Wu, Wu Jiu, Wang Shi, and Lin Wu Rou were all in it. The "replicas" in the crystal not only looked exactly like the four of them, but even their clothes were exactly the same.
Although Bai Wu continued to lead everyone out of the maze along the way, the terrain was complicated and the maze was constantly changing, which caused him to take a detour occasionally.
Although there is no puzzle under the Eye of Prell, it will take Bai Wu some time to get out of this maze.
He was thinking along the way, if he were the one who arranged this place and created such a maze, how would he hinder the invaders
As time went by, the images within the crystal barrier became increasingly lifelike and complete. They kept knocking on the crystal, trying to get out.
But no matter what they did, they could not get out of the crystal. It was as if there was a final restriction. As long as this restriction was not opened, they would be forever sealed in the world inside the crystal.
Soon the white fog stopped.
Not only Bai Wu, the other three people also suddenly found something wrong.
Although none of the four were perceivers, with the sixth-order companion power, they could still sense an evil aura approaching. This aura was no weaker than that of the peacock, fox, mermaid and white snake they had encountered before.
The strange thing is that this breath appeared for a short time and then suddenly disappeared, replaced by the breath of human beings.
Bai Wu narrowed his eyes, a light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly thought of what might happen in this area.
As the familiar human presence got closer, Bai Wu guessed that a change would soon occur.
His expression turned serious:
"Listen, don't interrupt me. Time is running out. We might be separated by the scene later. Remember, after we separate, we should not look for each other! Got it, no matter who you meet, don't take the initiative to look for the other person. If you find someone approaching you, kill them immediately. If you can't beat them, run away! The same goes for anyone who approaches you, including me!"
Bai Wu spoke very quickly.
Before the other three people could digest this, something unexpected happened.
Just like an accurate prophet, the moment Bai Wu finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell into absolute darkness.
There was a constant noise, the clamor around him was like dozens of people talking non-stop, yet nothing could be seen in the absolute darkness.
Bai Wu said loudly:
"Remember what I said! Remember what I said!"
He emphasized it twice, and Bai Wu received countless responses, including the captain's, Lin Wurou's, Wang Shi's, and even Bai Wu's own.
The entire maze began to shift, Bai Wu and others felt a slight shaking, and in the absolute darkness, Wu Jiu only felt as if he had touched someone.
The same went for Lin Wurou and Wang Shi. They seemed to be in a dense crowd and would bump into someone inadvertently.
Even White Mist, with his enhanced vision, could not see through this darkness.
The darkness lasted for a long, long time. When the light dispelled the darkness, the four people in the vanguard group slowly opened their eyes.
In the darkness and noise just now, Lin Wu Rou thought about Bai Wu's words in her mind and finally understood.
Bai Wu was worried that too many monsters that looked exactly like him would appear and blend in with his group.
After opening her eyes, Lin Wurou breathed a sigh of relief:
"You scared me. You're all here."
"Well, that was a scary scene, are you all okay?"
Wang Shi shook his head somewhat stiffly and said:
"I'm fine."
Wujiu looked at his hands and said:
"I'm fine too."
"Then let's continue on our way." Bai Wu looked at Lin Wu Rou.
Lin Wurou nodded. Everyone was wearing a mask, and he recognized people through their masks, so he couldn't see the details of their expressions.
It was as if nothing had happened. The darkness, noise, and vibration just now seemed to be just a farce that could be ignored.
But after walking a few steps, Lin Wu Rou felt something strange.
"Do you feel... as if your perception has been blocked?"
"Really? It doesn't matter, let's continue on our way."
"Yes, let's hurry up."
"Hurry up and follow me."
The three of them spoke one by one, and Lin Wu Rou nodded. He found that his perception could no longer give any feedback on the environment.
Lin Wurou didn't think much about it, thinking that this might be related to the darkness just now. He never used his brain much, and he was not very good at thinking about problems.
But Lin Wu Rou is not really stupid.
He soon discovered something was wrong:
"Wait, are we heading back in this direction?"
Bai Wu still didn't turn around, but said in a strange tone:
"How could that be? We are looking for a way out."
A strange feeling arose in Lin Wu Rou's heart. He suddenly thought of a possibility and got goose bumps.
"You... Bai Wu, are you really Bai Wu?"
Bai Wu finally turned around and said indifferently:
"Wu Rou, what's wrong with you? Of course I'm Bai Wu, don't you even recognize me? Are you the person in the crystal?"
"Shit, of course I'm not! It's just that I remember you walking this road."
"You remembered it wrongly. The maze is so complicated, it's normal to have similarities."
"Yes, you remembered it wrong." Wang Shi and Wujiu also echoed.
Lin Wu Rou thought about it and realized that she might have remembered it wrong.
So he followed Bai Wu and the other two and started walking again. These three people looked obviously to be the captain, Wang Shi, and Bai Wu.
But the more Lin Wurou walked, the more she felt something was wrong. Besides looking like a woman, he was also like a woman in one other aspect - his intuition.
She felt like she was being taken to some very strange place, so Lin Wurou suddenly stopped:
"Wang Shi, do you still remember when we went to the manor together? In that operation, you, Yin Shuang, the captain, Bai Wu, and Shang Xiaoyi were in one group. You, Xiaoyi and I were in another group, while the captain, Bai Wu, and Yin Shuang were in another group."
Wang Shi paused and said:
"You remembered it wrong, Wu Rou. I didn't participate. It was Qin Lin and Bai Xiaoyu who participated. And the captain was in a group with Qin Lin and Bai Xiaoyu, and you were in a group with Bai Wu and Yin Shuang."
Lin Wu Rou felt relieved. Her memory matched, so this group of people should be real.
But after walking about ten steps, Lin Wu Rou remembered something and shuddered all over.
The group did tell Wang Shi and Xiao Yi about everything that happened in the manor, but they did not mention the details of the distribution. How did Wang Shi know about it
