This sentence is very familiar.
Yan Wei thought for a while, and the background introduction when he first entered the dungeon popped up in his mind. At the beginning of this dungeon, Lou randomly threw the players into the jungle maze outside the castle, and told a story about the castle—or the source—with the usual misty prompt.
The first sentence is "He is a man of unknown birth".
This sentence uses a very old language, and Yan Wei and the others will automatically be able to understand this language after entering the dungeon, and only then can they read this sentence. Every word was written in blood on the wall in front of them, which was made of branches and leaves. The blood seemed to be the blood of many years ago, black and brown. The faint but white light of the moon was shining on it, intertwined with this bloody horror, which was eerie and weird.
Yan Wei only felt that a cool wind was blowing in this small labyrinth.
"This black-robed man is really evil," Lin Zhen stepped forward, raising his hand to touch him, "Doing these weird things? This is his base camp—"
"Don't touch it." Yan Wei said.
Lin Zhen withdrew his hand and shrugged: "I'm not afraid of these."
Yan Mingguang directly wrapped the tail of the whip around Yan Wei's wrist, and said, "The atmosphere here is weird, we should be careful."
Yan Wei blinked, and turned his eyes. He can actually feel Yan Mingguang's constant attention and attention, but even if this kind of attention is noticeable, it seems to be integrated into that action, and people can't pay too much attention to it. Yan Wei only felt itchy in his heart, as if being scratched by something, but he couldn't explain why.
He scratched with the whip and didn't say a word, which seemed to agree with this way of "holding hands".
As for Lin Zhen...
Yan Wei stretched out his other hand and said, "Turn the other end of your bow towards me."
Lin Zhen did as he said, holding one end of the longbow himself, while Yan Wei was pulling the other end. And Yan Wei stood in the middle, the whip in Yan Mingguang's hand was wrapped around the wrist of the other hand, and the moon wheel was dragging on the palm.
In this way, the weapons of the three of them are all holding each other, which can not only ensure that no one will get lost in this dark and intertwined maze, but also let them all know the teammate's shot at the first time, so as to inform each other of the danger.
They were going to go into the depths of the maze to find clues, anyway, it doesn't matter if the black-robed man knows, Lin Zhen simply didn't lower his voice, and said carelessly: "It's narrow, dark and forked, can we just take these The tree was cut down?"
"..." Yan Wei was helpless, "You can't cut down trees in the jungle maze, you can try here too. Yan Mingguang and I will take a step first, and we will pick you up after we come back."
Lin Zhen: "..."
They came to a fork in the road.
Yan Wei tugged at Yan Mingguang's arm and said, "Ice Cube, wait a minute, I'll make a mark."
He squatted down slowly, moving his hands, and couldn't see clearly in the dim light—it seemed that he had drawn a mark on the ground.
Afterwards, Yan Wei got up and said, "Go on. See what you're doing, the danger here is nothing more than something that cannibalize human flesh, or something like a puppet."
The fourth floor of the castle, the observatory.
Xue Wan was holding the knife, and the clothes on her body were covered with mottled blood, which was obviously left by the strike just now. Venus Star, the player whose arm was pierced by Lin Zhen's arrow, was bandaging up, and the others were checking around the observatory. And in front of Xue Wan, lay two people with severed limbs—these were the broken players left behind by Bianhua.
Not long after, someone came up to Xue Wan: "There are not many players here. It seems that Xu Miaomiao and the others only took away the black-robed man. We grabbed enough coins, but now the black-robed man No longer, these people can’t redeem points.”
"Xue Wan, do we still have to stay here at the observatory?"
Xue Wan thought for a while.
He said: "The man in the black robe, the coin, and the meat grinder. These three things are indispensable. We are still number one now. The gap between Huadu and us has widened. It is not us who should be anxious. But we do nothing. …”
Xue Wan smiled, yawned lazily, and continued: "That's too boring and too passive. Half of the people stay here, and half of them arrest everyone they can see. All the coins that arrived were snatched."
"Since the coin, the meat grinder, and the man in black are indispensable, if Xu Miaomiao and the others can design the man in black, we can snatch the coin."
The second floor of the castle, the area where Bianhua lives.
The two Xu Miaomiao discussed with the remaining players of Bi'anhua about what to do next, and finally decided to take a rest for the night. The night in the castle was not peaceful at all, and this time they suffered serious wear and tear. What they had to face was the man in black robe who had gone somewhere and the morning star with Xue Wan, so it was better to rectify it.
Xu Miaomiao asked a Bianhua member to watch "Yan Wei" in her room, and returned to her room after discussing with the others.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw "Yan Wei" with his hands untied, sitting leisurely on the sofa with a glass of orange juice in his hand.
And the Bianhua player who was supposed to be looking at him was sitting opposite "Yan Wei", his hands were tied with a rope. The man struggled in perplexity, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It's strange, I can't untie it myself? How did you untie the rope yourself? You told me to try it too, but I tried. No, no."
Xu Miaomiao: "..."
The sofa was facing the door, outside the door was a dark corridor, and inside the door was Yan Wei who was leisurely sitting on the sofa. Two Xu Miaomiao stood at the door, one on the left and the other on the right, but they didn't go in for a while.
The good puppet Yanwei glanced at Xu Miaomiao, but his expression was still very calm. He leaned out, untied the rope from the hands of the Bianhua flower player, spread his hands, and said, "I'll teach you again."
He was still wearing the windbreaker that was dusty and torn during the fight just now, but his eyes were clear and bright, his cheeks were clean, and no matter how messy his clothes were, he seemed to be as clean as dust.
He just looked at the player on the other side, the man didn't say anything, and very cooperatively tied the rope to Shan Puppet Yanwei's hand.
After tying it up, Shan Puppet Yanwei's wrist and fingers seemed to move, but in a moment the rope was completely unraveled due to the loosening of the knot, and slipped from his wrist. He sighed: "Did you see clearly this time?"
The player of Bana Flower nodded.
Two Xu Miaomiao: "..."
The good puppet Yan Wei looked up at the door again, raised the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand to say hello to Xu Miaomiao: "What are you doing standing at the door? The aisle is so cold, aren't you tired? Come, come in and sit down."
Xu Miaomiao: "???"
Whose room is this
Yan Wei and the others walked through several forks in the road.
This maze is located on the fourth floor of the castle, but it is in a confined space, similar to a maze in a huge room. The trees on the walls of the labyrinth almost reach the roof, and you can't see far away at all. Even if you use lights to illuminate, you can only see the road in front of you clearly.
It is obviously a huge room, but there is always a cold wind blowing, and there seems to be occasional sounds of leaves rubbing around...
Like something is moving against the maze walls.
Yan Wei stopped in her tracks.
Lin Zhen: "You heard that too?"
"Compared to hearing," he bowed his head sideways, his eyes fell on a spot on the ground, the moon wheel slightly lowered, illuminating the mark he left earlier, "we're back."
Lin Zhen didn't care: "This is a labyrinth, it's normal to go back and forth. It's fine if we don't go the same way as last time this time."
Yan Mingguang didn't speak, but shook his head slightly.
Yan Wei glanced at Lin Zhen and said, "Then when we entered the jungle maze on the first day, why didn't we just mark it and not repeat it? It's okay to have a few such forks. If there are dozens of them, the possibility is exponentially increased."
If you use the way of marking the roads traveled, once a road starts to go wrong, they have to push back through all the routes, and make sure that they will not repeat and remember wrongly. It's not impossible, but this is the most violent and direct method. The worst consequence is that you have to go through all the roads, and some roads will be repeated. If there is any danger in this maze, it means that they may have to go through all the dangers.
"But this place is different from the jungle maze. You can directly see the direction of the target on the top of the mountain. Our blood can't open the way," Lin Zhen said, "Then how do you get there? What if it's the man in black and I'm just as bored, how about setting up a maze and walking around here?"
"You know you're bored, too."
Lin Zhen: "..."
Yan Wei looked at the mark under his feet, and all the images from the moment he entered the dungeon to the present flashed through his mind. "He is a man of unknown birth", good and evil puppets that are exactly the same as the players but have different functions, the true and false realities that invade the player's spiritual world in the middle of the night, the crows and mazes hovering outside the castle, as well as the crow terrain and four directions inside the castle. Maze of layers...
He suddenly felt that there was an idea flashing through his mind, but he would not be able to grasp it for a while.
There was a sudden rustling of leaves nearby.
Yan Wei's hand holding Lin Zhen's longbow was pulled, and the longbow left his hand, and there was a swift and violent sound of wind behind him. Yan Wei only felt a gust of wind passing by his ear, and the long black arrow shot forward.
A figure suddenly dodged in front of him!
At the same moment, there was actually the same long arrow coming from the front, heading towards Yan Wei, who had an obvious body mass here. Yan Mingguang reacted almost without any pause, dragging Yan Wei backwards, the long whip and the tail loosened Yan Wei's wrist, and swung forward amidst the rustling sound.
Under the force of inertia, Yan Wei's back slammed into the maze wall made of branches and leaves, and the figure in front was flicked by Yan Mingguang's whip, and moved forward vigorously, stopping on the maze wall opposite Yan Wei.
The moon wheel gave off a faint gleam, illuminating the man's appearance.
The man was dressed in black, with neat short hair, handsome features but a little coquettish, and the eyes looking at Yan Wei were deep dark red.
That was Lin Zhen's face.
Yan Wei was stunned, "—the danger of this maze is to copy us to deal with us!?"
The "Lin Zhen" in front of Yan Wei smiled, and actually said, "No, it's not a little pet."
The sound of arrow feathers piercing through the air came from all directions.
