There were too many ghosts, and out of helplessness, Jenkins whispered praise to the sage in his heart, and temporarily dispersed the overwhelming ghosts with the brilliance of divine magic, allowing the gravekeeper to take a breath to recover, and the two barely managed to recover. into the western-style building of the manor.
The ghosts were reluctant to disperse outside the building, but they did not dare to enter here either. Ten minutes was about to come to an end. Jenkins and the gravekeeper took a look at the interior of the western-style building illuminated by red candles, not knowing where to start.
"The light we saw just now seems to be at the back of the building. Let's look for the back door here first. Look for it separately, it will be faster."
Jenkins immediately suggested that the gravekeeper turned to the stairs to the left of the main door, presumably trying to climb out of the upstairs window. The purple brilliance in Jenkins' eyes flashed, and he walked inward along the living room corridor facing the gate, and saw a rusty iron door at the end of the corridor.
An inverted pentagram was drawn in blood in front of the iron gate, and a candle was lit at each of the five corners of the pentagram. The light of the candle swayed with Jenkins' arrival.
"right here!"
Overjoyed, he adjusted his posture while running, and under the blessing of the power of the Titan, he slammed into the iron door sideways. Unexpectedly, a force of almost the same magnitude surged from the door. The iron door was fixed, so there was only a muffled sound, and Jenkins was bounced back the same way, rolling twice on the floor before stopping.
"What's the situation?"
He stood up in a little embarrassment, looked at the candles in front of the door, and at the door, and found that there was an extra note in the middle of the inverted pentagram candle.
[A key is required to open the door.]
"Of course I know I need the key, but where do I have time to find it now?"
He asked the air angrily, and then looked around, but of course he didn't find the key.
Although it would be too coincidental to find the final destination at once, Jenkins believes in the power of [Stage of Destiny], and also believes in his own weird luck. The strange door in front of him might well be the answer, but he had no idea where the key was, or even if it was in the house.
So I thought about going upstairs to find the tomb keeper, and asked him if he had any clues. The gravekeeper in the bedroom was trying to open the sealed window. After hearing Jenkins' discovery, he shook his head and said that he had never seen anything like a key along the way.
In this way, the last two minutes were spent searching for the key, and then the floor under Yihua's feet collapsed, and then fell into a bottomless abyss.
When he woke up again, he had already returned to the sacrificial field again, but this time there was no new gifter, and the companions from just now had all returned.
Seeing that everyone was awake, they discussed with each other what they had gained this time. Mr. White Cat did not find the manor, but he actually entered the deep pit in the ground while walking downhill, and found a long gun surrounded by buzzing flies stuck in the center of the deep pit.
"That is undoubtedly a gift, but it is a pity that if we want to have it, in addition to finding it again, we must find an exit."
He said regretfully.
Other than him, everyone else also found things similar to "treasures", some of which were books, and some even found life-sized demon statues cast in pure gold.
"In fact, people have found similar things a few times before, but the road outside the sacrificial site is different every time, so sometimes there will be situations where nothing can be found. Only this time so many people found the 'treasure' , basically confirming that the high difficulty of this paradox corresponds to high harvest."
Jenkins and the cemetery also shared their gains. Sure enough, only two of them had entered the manor, and no one else had even seen a similar building that could be entered.
Just like Jenkins' guess, most people think that there may be the final puzzle, the final place, but no one else has any good ideas about the key.
"Don't you guys think that this strange situation is a bit too difficult?"
After talking about the key, Jenkins couldn't help asking, but none of the others answered him immediately, and finally Mr. White Cat said:
"Actually, this is also the second treacherous realm I have entered. The average difficulty of the treacherous realm... Actually, I don't know much about it. Mr. Candle, if you have any opinions, you can just say it. Now we are all sailors on a ship , once the boat capsizes, no one can survive.”
Of course, Jenkins has his own opinion. This kind of treacherous situation of finding the door and key without a map is definitely more difficult than any treacherous situation he has experienced.
Therefore, he thinks that everyone should have missed important clues, and the theme of "sacrifice" generally exists in Paradise, such as sacrificing health to drink poisonous wine, sacrificing blood to water flower pots, sacrificing reason to talk to indescribable things, But this strange situation does not involve these at all, it just sacrifices physical strength to keep running...
"Speaking of which, before I came here, did you talk to the person who announced the rules of the paradox and asked about the situation here?"
He asked again, because Mr. White Cat was the most familiar with him, and Mr. White Cat was also the first to enter here, so it was still Mr. White Cat who answered him:
"No, everyone knows from the information that anyone who can talk to in the strange world is a terrifying existence that humans can't understand, so apart from listening to her explain the rules, we didn't ask any additional questions."
"That's the problem!"
After saying this, he turned around and looked at the devil-like old lady who quietly appeared on the other side of the sacrificial arena:
"There is no need to explain the rules. There are no new givers in this cycle. Now I want to know, do you have a key or a map?"
"The complete map outside the sacrifice site is divided into 12 parts, and each map has all the terrain, roads and treasure spots in a small area marked. But the map I sell is charged..."
"it is as expected!"
Jenkins thought in his heart, and then heard the other party talk about the price:
"You can choose different payment methods to get maps.
The first option trades at the cost of the time in the hourglass, and you can get a map for every three minutes that the ten-minute period is reduced;
The second is to trade at the cost of your own lifespan. This can be combined with each other. If you give me 5 years of lifespan, you can get a map;
The third is to trade your souls as a price. If someone volunteers to contribute all his souls, I can give you 5 maps;
The fourth kind of transaction is emotion. If someone is willing to sacrifice all the emotions in his life, I can give you 3 maps;
The fifth trade item is destiny. If someone chooses this item, then a generous lady or gentleman needs to do one thing for me after returning to the material world, and I can give you six maps accordingly. "
