"Ye Ningchenyi's death method is exactly the same as He Yu's. Both of them were actually stained with abnormal colors, or brought their own colors into the room they shouldn't go to." Mi Wei analyzed, "Is this possible? It is inferred that people who have contaminated the color will not be dragged away, but will be rectified on the spot."
Ke Xun suddenly said, "Maybe the other people who were dragged away were not corpses, but living bodies - Xin Beibei may still be alive."
Everyone invariably thought of the coins in the pool—when Zhang Tianwei was found soaked in a large glass jar, there were coins in the pool that belonged to his moon pattern.
According to speculation, Zhang Tianwei did not die at the time.
In this way, it is very likely that Xin Beibei did not die.
Shi Zhendong wanted to go upstairs: "I'm going to take a look in that circular building, maybe Beibei hasn't been put into the glass jar yet!"
Everyone was not in the mood to eat breakfast at the moment, so they went upstairs with Shi Zhendong.
Coming to the familiar open-air corridor on the fourth floor, the door of the circular building was still open, and the red door inside was also open, but the glass jar that once soaked Zhang Tianwei disappeared without a trace.
The ground was as clean as new, as if those red liquids had never appeared here.
"Which floor might Xin Beibei be on?" Mi Wei looked up at the copper ladders leading to the fifth and sixth floors.
"Well, I'll climb up the ladder to take a look first." Ke Xun took the initiative to speak, and it was indeed his plan yesterday.
The copper ladder was very sturdy, and Ke Xun climbed to the fifth floor in no time. Looking back, he found that Mu Yiran was also following.
Ke Xun smiled lightly: "Are you concerned about me or are you concerned about me?"
Mu Yiran moved quickly to the fifth floor: "I just don't want someone to be alone."
The two pushed open the wooden door of the hall on the fifth floor, and were quickly attracted by the striking blue clock on the wall.
"It should be right here." Ke Xun looked at the hidden blue door, and immediately shouted to everyone waiting in the corridor on the fourth floor, "On the fifth floor!"
Shi Zhendong and Zhu Haowen quickly climbed up, and Ke Xun saw that Qin Ci was also coming up, and hurriedly shouted, "You don't need too many people, try not to be alone!"
Qin Ci understands that through Mu Yiran's analysis today, it is very dangerous to "be alone" even when the number of people is very small.
In the future, it is best to keep more than three people in order to avoid some terrible bewitching.
The few people who came to the fifth floor forced the blue door to open by "creating wind" by using the method of yesterday—
Although everyone had already thought of the scene in the door, when they saw the big blue glass jar with their own eyes, they couldn't help but step back.
There are more than half bottles of blue liquid in the glass jar about two meters high. Xin Beibei's whole body is immersed in the liquid, only a head suspended in the water is exposed.
Seeing his girlfriend's situation, Shi Zhendong couldn't bear it any longer, and his whole body trembled violently: "This person... is it still Beibei—Beibei, Beibei! Can you hear me?!"
Xin Beibei's eyes are open, but their eyes are very empty, like a stone man.
"I called Sister Guo to come and help!" After Ke Xun said this, he went back to the fourth floor along the ladder.
"Sister Guo? Xiao Guo?" Shi Zhendong was at a loss.
Zhu Haowen: "Sister Guo and Ke Xun are both members of the blue group. They should be qualified to enter this room."
After a while, Guo Lixia was "protected" by Wei Dong and Ke Xun: "The girl isn't dead yet? How can we save people? Let's... "
Guo Lixia's words were quickly interrupted by the scene in front of her. This was the first time that Sister Guo saw the glass jar. Although she didn't scream, she couldn't control her emotion: "My God..."
Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun: "What are you going to do?"
"Maybe I'll be wronged by Sister Guo," Ke Xun walked into the blue room without hesitation, and looked at the glass jar that was as tall as him, "Sister Guo is supporting me below, I'll go up to see if I can Pull people out of it."
The glass jar is very slippery and has no foothold at all. It is too difficult for a person to climb up directly.
Guo Lixia didn't hesitate too much, she just said at the moment: "I'm down below, you step on my shoulders, it's all right! I'm just afraid, this glass tank is too big, what if you fall into the team leader? !"
"Fuck, Sister Guo, you're not trying to scare people!" Ke Xun smiled, realizing that Mu Yiran was looking at him with a little concern, and he smiled again.
"Okay, I'll try to grab your feet." Guo Lixia is also a person who dares to think and act, and quickly followed Ke Xun into the room.
"Wait a minute," said Mu Yiran, who had a bundle of ropes in his hands at some point in time, "I found this behind the wooden door just now. It's safer to tie this around your waist."
"That's a good idea!" Guo Lixia took the lead in giving a like, "Even if the team leader really slips in, everyone can pull him out together! Brother Mu, you have to hurry up!"
Mu Yi nodded invisibly, Wei Dong also quickly grabbed the rope, for fear that Ke Xun would make a mistake.
Shi Zhendong also came over: "Let's drag it together, insurance!"
So, Ke Xun, who had a rope tied around his waist, climbed on Guo Lixia's shoulder and grabbed the mouth of the glass bottle, poking his head into it.
The whole blue water is like a small sea, and Xin Beibei's long black hair floats on the sea, like some kind of seaweed.
"Xin Beibei? Can you hear me?" Ke Xun called out tentatively.
But the other party did not answer.
Ke Xun almost reached half of his body into the glass bottle, stretched out his long arms, and his hand finally touched the other's hair, the cool and wet feeling was unbearable.
Ke Xun didn't think about it, he directly grabbed Xin Beibei's hair and tried to lift it up.
Ke Xun's strength was not too great, and he felt a little hard at first, but then suddenly relaxed.
A violent scream came from outside the room, and soon another sharper scream came from Guo Lixia under her feet.
A few people outside the blue gate saw an indelible scene in this life: Xin Beibei's head was pulled down so easily, a column of blue liquid flowed out from the broken neck, and the facial features of the head suddenly spewed out blue liquid...
"Put-" The head returned to the water again, floating freely on the water.
Ke Xun let go of his hand blankly.
"Ke Xun! Come out quickly!" Mu Yiran pulled the rope in his hand, and then called Ke Xun back to Hun'er.
Guo Lixia was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, causing Ke Xun to fall to the ground.
Ke Xun's legs were also weak, but he had to support Guo Lixia. The two staggered out of the terrifying blue room, and no one looked back at the scene there.
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, Ke Xun looked at Shi Zhendong, whose face was ashen, and finally choked out three words: "I'm sorry..."
Shi Zhendong was like a puppet with a broken thread, and it took a long time to raise his head to look at Ke Xun: "I don't blame you..."
Zhu Haowen was still calm and looked at the blue liquid stained on Ke Xun's hands: "You have to wash your hands quickly."
"Okay..." Ke Xun walked into the bathroom in the hall absentmindedly and washed his hands.
In order to avoid suspicion, Guo Lixia also went to the bathroom to wash her hands well.
When Ke Xun walked out of the bathroom after washing his hands, he found that Zhu Haowen was standing at the door, his face still expressionless: "If she didn't die just now, then you can relieve her pain."
"I wish she was dead." Ke Xun had a feeling of killing someone.
"You tried your best," Mu Yiran said, "You should have tried your best to save her last night, but it's a pity that the other party's strength is too strong."
Ke Xun glanced at Mu Yiran: "It was her own shadow who dragged her away last night, and I can't compete with it. Her neck seems to be tightly pinched by a pair of invisible hands."
Mu Yi frowned, unable to figure out the cause and effect for a while.
Everyone went back to the fourth floor along the ladder. Seeing everyone's expressions, no one asked any more questions.
The group returned to their own building along the corridor, and Ke Xun washed his hands again in the bathroom on the fourth floor.
"What happened?" Mi Wei asked Wei Dong in a low voice.
Wei Dong sighed: "Xin Beibei is dead."
"Like Zhang Tianwei?"
"more or less."
Shi Zhendong stumbled downstairs, and Guo Lixia, as a peer, also expressed his sympathy: "I'll go down to see him, but nothing will happen."
The familiar music sounded, and the NPC's voice was still sweet: "A new day has come~ The castle has prepared a delicious breakfast for everyone. Welcome to the lobby on the first floor to taste it! Our task today is still to store three bottles of berries. Remember not to contaminate the color!"
Miao Zipei looked up at the clock still covered with indigo patterns on the wall: "Let's go downstairs, there are still many tasks to do today."
Indeed, although the workload has not changed, the number of members is slowly decreasing, which means that the workload is gradually increasing, and the time for finding signatures is getting less and less.
"Xin Beibei actually gave us some inspiration." Zhu Haowen said suddenly.
"Did you mean the labyrinth?" Mu Yi said.
"She has shown great interest in the maze, and she really wants to go to the maze in person," Zhu Haowen analyzed, "I don't think this is entirely her original intention, and there is a lot of delusion in it."
Qin Ci nodded: "Let's go back to eat first, then assign the laborers, and the others will focus on searching the maze. According to yesterday's plan," Qin Ci looked out of the window and looked at the maze below, "We can look down from here. Labyrinth, chart its course."
Ke Xun's expression improved slightly: "We can still use the rope."
Mu Yi Ran looked at the rope bundle in his hand: "When Theseus cracked the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, he used the ball of thread."
Wei Dong was at a loss as he listened on the sidelines: "What kind of thing are they all?"
"It was the earliest labyrinth in the world, probably built in 1600 BC, dating back to the Mycenaean period. The labyrinth was located on the island of Kris in ancient Greece." Mu Yiran said.
Ke Xun recalled what he saw last night: "About the maze, is there always a person who guards the maze?"
"Maybe, King Milos built a labyrinth for Minotaur, and the person who guarded the labyrinth should be Minotaur himself."
Ke Xun frowned: "I saw a person from the window last night, standing at the northeast corner of the maze, when Xin Beibei was just dragged away by the shadow, the person stood there for a few minutes before walking in. "
