But Lin Huai was also very happy that the puppeteer was able to know the current affairs in this way. Coincidentally, it also saves him the effort of persuading the other party not to follow him secretly.
"After you get out of the chessboard, I'll give you the blood recovery potion for knees." Lin Huai said with a smile, "I'm wronging you to stay here for a while."
After speaking, he left here without looking back.
After Lin Huai walked for a while, he saw the pile of scattered parts on the distant checkerboard. Seeing him coming, one of the heads immediately became furious and said, "Put me back quickly!"
Needless to say, this head is the master here - the Greedy Witch... No, it's the head of the demon boy. Lin Huai was in a good mood, and didn't care about this elementary school student. He lowered his head, touched the other person's head and said, "Don't be angry."
puppet:…
Lin Huai: "This is not for the convenience of you waiting for me here."
"Damn! So you dismantled me into parts!"
"You said it." Lin Huai said calmly, "It's too tired to stand here and wait for me, and it's too tired to sit and wait for me, so I have no choice but to..."
"Let you lie down on the ground with all your heart." Lin Huai said sincerely.
puppet:…
"You really made me lie on the ground with all my heart!!"
Lin Huai removed the puppet's jaw, and then, humming a song, he restored the puppet's jaw. The puppet regaining its human form sullenly set its jaw back.
Lin Huai glanced back at him: "Let's go?"
"Wait for me to go out," the puppet said coolly, "I must kill you."
"Oh," Lin Huai replied lightly, "I'm waiting."
Lin Huai squinted his eyes and looked at the black and white chessboard. After a while, he followed his memory and found the path he should go to.
With his hands in his pockets, he walked faster and faster. The puppet followed behind him, trotting all the way on its short legs, and said bitterly: "What? You are already planning to speed up and escape from here? Where are you going? Wait! I can't catch up!"
The puppet was panting and complaining viciously, but Lin Huai suddenly stopped in front of him and suddenly laughed.
"Actually, it's very easy to leave this chessboard, isn't it?" Lin Huai smiled with his back to the puppet, "We've made such a big circle, and what we really need to do is actually just a small step."
"The principle of equivalent exchange." Lin Huai twisted a piece of paper between his index finger and thumb, and shook it in front of his eyes, "If you want to get something, you have to exchange it with the same thing. This is the beginning of the game. It has been hinted to me."
"Games can't give people a way to die, so even the most unlucky player who got breath deprived at the beginning can quickly find a way out of the game. The limit of human beings holding their breath is three minutes. What behavior can a human being do in a few minutes to get off the chessboard?"
"The answer is simple."
The young man in purple looked back at the puppet behind him.
His bright red pupils returned to their original black color—it was an extreme black, and it was almost impossible to tell the difference between pupils and pupils. On the black and white chessboard, he looked back at it like this, the corners of his bright red mouth curled up in a weird smile.
"If you want to leave the chessboard, you need an equivalent exchange, and of course the only thing that is equivalent to the concept of 'leaving the chessboard' is—" he said easily.
"Enter this chessboard."
The puppet looked at Lin Huai gloomyly, and Lin Huai looked back easily: "Yes, the answer is as simple as that, the way to leave the chessboard is to enter the chessboard, so all you need to do is—"
He raised his calf, his toes were hanging in the air, and he never fell down.
—The direction of his toes is exactly the grid he was in when he woke up from the chessboard!
"Just lift your foot, then gently put it down, and step into the grid that you left in the opposite direction." Lin Huai said, "Then I can wake up, right?"
The expression of the puppet was distorted. For a long time, he smiled gloomily: "You are smarter than I imagined."
"I'm sorry, but reasoning has never been my thing." Lin Huai let out a long sigh of relief, "But to say another thing, I'm very good at it."
As he spoke, he retracted his legs, put his hands back into his pockets again, and walked towards the puppet behind him step by step.
puppet:
"You, you..." Just now, he was thinking about tidying up his puppet after Lin Huai went out. The whole puppet was gone. He watched Lin Huai walking towards him step by step. Lin Huai was slender, but he was inexplicably kind The feeling of being overwhelmed by demons, "What do you want!"
"I said I'm good at one thing, right?" Lin Huai pressed his struggling head, "In this world, we will pass by many beautiful scenery, and a person's life is like a claw in slush, but I am good at it." —”
"Everywhere, leave your own trace."
As he said that, as soon as he exerted his strength, he dismantled one of the puppet's legs!
"Ah-"
"I lied to you." After finishing everything, Lin Huai walked back to his original position. Before stepping into the white grid, he looked back at the puppet spread out on the ground, shrugged and said, "Okay , I admit, I still prefer to act alone than to leave traces."
"Keep an elementary school student who doesn't know how to retaliate against me after following me out... Tsk, this is not my style." He shook his finger.
The puppet collapsed on the ground, looking at Lin Huai resentfully. Lin Huai smiled at him, turned around and stepped into the white chessboard.
"Surprise!" At the moment when the white light flashed, he opened his arms and shouted to someone opposite, "your jokering!"
As soon as the voice fell, his figure had disappeared into the white light.
puppet:…
Bah, why does it smell like dog food.
Lin Huai woke up on the chair.
After waking up, his first reaction was to glance at his body. After those short and slender legs appeared in his field of vision again, he showed an angry expression of "=炸=".
His long legs, his long hands, his perverted purple long windbreaker...
All gone.
Lin Huai struggled a bit and jumped off the chair. He found that there was another chair beside him—the chair was already empty.
However, a long golden-brown hair left on the side of the chair exposed the original owner of the chair.
Lin Huai:? ? Where did Chu Tianshu go
While he was thinking, there was a crackling sound from upstairs. Lin Huai looked around, and unsurprisingly found a secret passage with an open door. Without hesitation, he ran up with his cloak.
"Yo, it's out." As soon as he ran upstairs, he heard Chu Tianshu's voice, "Come and help me, I just accidentally..."
Lin Huai:
Chu Tianshu said: "Break the doll's hand."
Lin Huai walked towards Chu Tianshu's direction. Along the way, he was a little shocked by what he saw. This seems to be a large doll collection room, quite fairy tale style, countless shelves, there are countless dolls.
He even saw a doll in Chenxing's uniform... After seeing the doll in Chenxing's uniform, he roughly knew where the dolls in this room came from.
When he finally reached the depths, he saw a luxurious recliner and Chu Tianshu squatting beside it. The tall beauty was still wearing a dark green safari suit, her long hair was tied behind her head, and her eyelashes were very long. At first glance, she looked like a medieval androgynous boy who only appeared in oil paintings. She was holding something in her hand, and one hand of that thing was hanging down, shaking by her side...
After seeing the thing clearly, Lin Huai couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "What a beautiful doll."
That's right, what was held in Chu Tianshu's arms was a doll—a doll of a beautiful boy. From forehead to mandible, this face could be called a natural creation, without any flaws. The puppet closed its eyes, as if its soul had been pulled out. Chu Tianshu hugged him, his face was calm, and there was light coming from the flower window. This scene was like some kind of large Gothic oil painting.
It's a pity that Chu Tianshu broke the beautiful atmosphere as soon as he opened his mouth: "Yes, it looks like it's worth a lot of money."
Lin Huai: ...
Lin Huai was too lazy to talk to him, so she knelt down and said, "This should be the Greedy Witch... No, the body that the demon boy said was pieced together by him, why did you take his hands apart?"
"Look for the key." Chu Tianshu took it for granted, "I just searched all over here, and he was the only one left. I haven't looked for it yet..."
Lin Huai was silent for a while, and couldn't hold back: "When did you release the dungeon???"
Chu Tianshu didn't even blink his eyelids: "When I first entered."
Lin Huai: ...
Frustrated by her self-esteem, Lin Huai twitched the corners of her mouth and showed a kind smile. Chu Tianshu was still rummaging around on the puppet: "Tell me, where did he hide the key?"
Lin Huai looked at the beautiful puppet, thinking about every move of the puppet in the game. Suddenly, he blinked and said, "Look at his eyeballs."
... the two perverts finally found the key in the doll's eye socket.
Besides the key, Chu Tianshu also found an invitation letter belonging to the "Lust" witch from the doll's drawer.
"Invite the most beautiful girls, dress up, and go to the gathering in the city of ashes, which is an artist's paradise. Present a work of art, and the witch will give you the key to leave." Chu Tianshu sniffed this An invitation letter, with a faint and strange fragrance on it, "What is a work of art?"
Lin Huai sat on the chair next to him and shook his legs: "It's easy to understand, it exploded."
Chu Tianshu: ...
Lin Huai: "She's hinting at us, blow up the whole city, and she'll come out... huh?? What are you doing, how did you start taking off the doll's clothes?"
"Put it on." Chu Tianshu threw a set of clothes to Lin Huai, "Your clothes are already dirty, change to a new one. Well, although it's a bit fancy, this suit is the closest to men's clothes."
What he threw into Lin Huai's hands were black suspenders, a shirt with layers of lace and a red brooch, long leather boots, a small cape and a small top hat. Lin Huai lowered his head and sniffed the bloody smell on his body, and reluctantly accepted the proposal.
"But I still prefer purple suits..." he sighed, "but this clothes, like men's clothes... the kind of clothes that noble teenagers in oil paintings would wear?"
Chu Tianshu glanced at him.
"You regret not being able to wear women's clothing?"
Lin Huai:? ?
