Yan Wei looked at the stairs going up in front of him.
He didn't go in immediately, but thought of two possibilities.
The first one is that the black-robed man was exhausted just now, and he was in a hurry to go back to this secret place to hide, thinking that no player could find it anyway, so he was not in a hurry to close the secret door.
The second type is that the man in black robe is smarter than he expected, anticipating that someone behind him may have designed all this and catch up, so he deliberately left this half-open door. The man in black is not afraid of being discovered by the player, because there may be a danger of death waiting for the player above this ladder.
or...
Both are available.
They saved several days of searching for this hidden fourth floor by accident, and the people in black robes also tried their best to keep those who could find it here.
Since the people in the black robe might have expected this, Yan Wei simply put away his perception burst skill and said, "I want to go in."
His expression remained unchanged, his eyes darkened, "It's worth trying. Give up here, we will come in next time, either we have to think about the layout again to lure the man in black to open it by himself, or we need to spend time to solve the problem of opening the door, but the two It takes time to choose, and it also has a lot of risks. We still have zero points. The time cost of these two days is to find another way, but if we give up now... "
Yan Wei has always estimated his ability.
Even if he can deduce and guess, it is still based on certainty, and there is a certain probability. He is not a god, and it is impossible to achieve this success in every aspect.
He said: "Give up now, we have to abandon our useless conscience - join in grabbing points. Because I don't have a high degree of confidence that I can continue to take the path of breaking the game first if I leave now."
At this time, Lin Zhen rarely spoke the truth: "But grabbing points is also risky, what we want is not the first few, but the first - let me think about it, why do I think we have to kill Xu Miaomiao The whole team, or kill Xue Quanquan's team? The group of unorganized people is not enough... "
"So I want to go in. In fact, the risk of going in is similar to the risk of our leaving now, but the benefits—"
Yan Mingguang said indifferently: "Very high."
This means that all three people want to go in.
Yan Wei still asked Lin Zhen to walk at the back so that he could attack from a distance at any time and prevent sudden danger from behind. Yan Mingguang and Yan Wei walked in tandem similar to Yan Wei. They lowered their steps as much as possible, and walked carefully into the door.
Behind the door is a staircase.
There was no light of any kind inside, and looking at the end of the stairs, there was only darkness. It seems that there is no way ahead, and it seems that there is endless darkness ahead.
Holding the moon wheel in one hand, Yan Wei followed Yan Mingguang up the stairs, thinking about the topography of the castle.
The castle is circular, and inside the circle, the outermost walk outlines a pattern. These routes from the first floor to the fourth floor are stacked together, and viewed from the top down, it is a crow waiting to spread its wings. And the location of this hidden four-story space separated from the observatory seems to be the back of the crow.
What is the back
And whatever the back is, the back... the back...
"Ice Cube," Yan Wei said, "this is the back of a crow, whether it's a human or a crow, the back is a blind spot. The blind spot means—"
Yan Mingguang obviously understood: "Weakness."
Lin Zhen behind: "What do you mean? This represents a weakness?"
"Maybe it's a representation, maybe it's existence." Yan Wei stepped up the next step, frowning slightly, "I always feel that the topography of this castle is a symbol or something. We have no way to use this castle, or pass this What are castles for, the only thing terrain can do is give us access to information."
"The crow can be said to be the symbol of the castle owner, and the coins are the props we need to consume to destroy the puppets. All of these have symbolic meanings. Then the crow's back, the blind spot...the weakness of the symbol?"
Or can it be said that it is the way to deal with the crow—that is, the master of the castle—
Thinking about it, Yan Wei focused all his attention on thinking about the terrain, and took a step forward but didn't step on the steps. The stairs in the castle are all higher than ordinary stairs, oppressive and dense, every step needs to be taken deliberately to step up, Yan Wei is distracted, and suddenly his feet are empty.
He didn't react for a moment, slipped and fell behind in the darkness.
"-Be careful!"
Before Yan Mingguang finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Yan Wei.
This person seemed to be too impatient just now, and pulled too hard, not only pulled Yan Wei back, but also directly dragged Yan Wei up a step. Under the effect of inertia, Yan Wei bumped into Yan Mingguang's body, was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly took the moon wheel and took a step back.
"I didn't notice it just now," he said.
"Um."
Lin Zhen urged from behind: "Don't you want to go? I don't think this ladder is too high, but it's a little dark in front. You must be afraid of the dark."
Yan Wei: "Let's go."
It's useless to think about it now, let's go to this hidden place on the fourth floor to take a look. He focused on the surroundings, his perception spread out, but he felt that his head was twisted and twisted, and his perception couldn't go deep at all. This feeling is a bit familiar, but the light ahead is too dark to see clearly, and Yan Wei can't tell for a while.
The anticipated danger has not yet come.
Could it be that the man in black was really in a hurry and forgot to close the door
Yan Wei always felt hairy in his heart, that kind of deep and eerie feeling attached to every inch of skin on his body, creepy. With one hand in his pocket, he stroked his swallow coin a few times with his fingertips, and couldn't help clenching his hands. In the cold air, the hand that was not in the pocket of the windbreaker felt more obvious warmth, Yan Wei subconsciously moved his fingers to rub the warmth, and only then did he realize what it was.
When Yan Mingguang pulled him back just now, he didn't let go of his hand.
And he didn't feel anything, just holding hands with this person and walking up one after the other.
The steps had already come to the end, Yan Mingguang paused slightly, still holding Yan Wei with one hand, and holding the whip tightly with the other, walked up vigilantly. After making sure that nothing happened, Yan Mingguang turned sideways, and the hand that was still holding Yan Wei exerted all his strength, pulling him up from the next step.
Yan Wei turned his eyes erratically, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Then he withdrew his hand, put his hands in his pockets and stood firm, and began to look in front of him.
Lin Zhen, who was at the end, also came up at this moment, seeing Yan Mingguang pulling Yan Wei on the top just now, he didn't think too much, and reached out his hand to Yan Mingguang when he reached the last floor.
Yan Mingguang just glanced at him, then turned around with his hands back, and the aura that strangers should not enter permeated his body.
"stranger":"?"
Lin Zhen withdrew his hand in confusion, so he had to step forward to the fourth floor with all his strength.
Yan Wei has already taken a few steps forward. Yan Mingguang stared closely, Yan Wei just walked forward, Yan Mingguang followed closely beside him.
"Here..." Yan Wei raised his hand, pointing vaguely at the darkness in front of him, "My perception can't get through, like a wall, but occasionally there will be a perception that can penetrate a little bit, and come back in a twist and turn, It’s like there’s a way again. This feeling…”
Lin Zhen came in full of anticipation. Until now, there was nothing but dead silence. He yawned a little bored, and said, "Twists and turns? Isn't this a maze? The first day of the dungeon was enough to kill me."
Yan Wei's eyes lit up: "Yes, it's the maze. I thought too much just now, and I was still thinking about what kind of trap it is, but it's actually not that complicated. This kind of familiar feeling that cannot be extended but twists and turns is the same as when we entered It's like a jungle maze!"
This is actually another entrance.
Yan Wei took a step forward, and his fingertips touched a wall that felt like leaves—it was exactly the same as the jungle maze.
Without waiting for Yan Wei to say anything, Yan Mingguang had already stepped forward and cut his arm without hesitation. Blood dripped in the darkness and onto the wall in front of him. Yan Wei lifted the moon wheel to that place and looked carefully, but saw that after the blood dripped, those branches and leaves only shook slightly, and the blood flowed on the leaves without any signs of corrosion.
Their blood can clear the way in the jungle maze outside, but it cannot corrode this small maze hidden on the fourth floor of the castle.
"The maze... Another maze. This crow has a maze on its back. What is hidden in this small maze?"
Yan Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "No wonder, the black-robed man didn't wear too much to close the secret door in time, nor did he deliberately keep the secret door to attract people who followed him, but he was confident. The secret door is only the first obstacle. Even if someone comes in, there is still this labyrinth, which is a deeper protection, so he doesn't have to pay too much attention to the secret door."
There are no pitfalls and no oversights.
It's purely because there is a miniature version of the jungle maze inside, so it doesn't matter if someone comes.
Yan Wei tried to take a step forward and walked into the only intersection where he could walk. Sure enough, he felt the same feeling as when he was in the jungle maze—he couldn't use his perception, and he didn't know what the road ahead would be like.
At the moment he stepped in, Lou's notification sounded in the minds of the three of Yan Wei.
[Congratulations to the player for advancing the progress of the main line of the copy, discovering the jungle maze in the castle, and advancing the progress of breaking the copy. Earn rewards:… . ]
And with that comes a whole bunch of data rewards.
The data increased instantly, and Yan Wei obviously felt the sudden increase in his body index and perception. Obviously, this progress was not ordinary. This addition directly made their team strength a step further.
"Go in?" Yan Mingguang asked him.
Yan Wei nodded, but said, "Go in, but before going in, Lin Zhen has one thing to do first."
Lin Zhen was taken aback: "Me?"
"to you."
About ten minutes later, Lin Zhen vainly closed the secret door from the side of the stairs, and quickly stepped up the stairs with his things. Afterwards, he put the things in front of the maze, and said to Yan Wei, "It's done."
Yan Wei nodded.
Yan Mingguang didn't say much, he raised his foot and walked towards the entrance of this small dark jungle maze. He seemed to reach out his hand towards Yan Wei, but he took it back before reaching Yan Wei's hand.
This kind of behavior was hard to detect in the dark, Yan Wei didn't notice it, but just walked in with Yan Mingguang.
As soon as he completely stepped into the maze, he didn't take a few steps, and before he reached the first fork in the road, Yan Wei saw the words on the maze wall in front of him with the light of the moon in his hand, which seemed to be written with blood that had been blackened for many years .
"What is that?" Lin Zhen asked.
Yan Wei's eyes froze, staring at the front, and read out word by word: "—he is a person whose birth is unknown."
