Unable to break through the protective shield (currently being called a tortoise shell by Ye Xu in his heart), Ye Xu is not in a hurry.
He walked back and forth around the protective shield in a slow manner, without any intention of leaving.
Anyway, in the rules of the game, if the player does not open the protective cover, the awakened one can keep chasing and killing the opponent. If the player opens it, the Awakened cannot chase out of the current passage.
After all, following the player all the time, waiting for the player's magic energy to disappear, this behavior is too wretched.
However, the four in front of them did not leave this passage, so they did not violate the regulations. Ye Xu just kept watch over them, stretching out his hands from time to time to scare the players who were near the edge of the shield.
It's kind of fun.
But the good times didn't last long. After all, the players had some experience. After getting used to Ye Xu's existence, they became calmer. Supporting each other to stand up, they began to move out slowly.
They can't stay here all the time, they have to hurry to find the exit. So relying on the effect of the protective shield, they bypassed Ye Xu and continued to move forward.
This move hit Ye Xu's heart, and Ye Xu followed them leisurely. As long as the player turns his head, he can see Ye Xu hanging far behind, very permeable in the dark maze.
"Go! Speed up!" The captain said cruelly, "Run away while the protective cover is still there. I don't believe that this NPC will follow us all the time, maybe he will leave after walking out of this passage."
Others nodded one after another, regardless of the fact that this is not the case, it is good to have good wishes.
So the four of them increased their speed and walked forward almost at a trot.
However, after running for two minutes, I found out why this passage is so long!
Ye Xu felt a little sympathetic to them now, this passage happened to be the longest one in the maze. In fact, there is a secret door in the middle of the passage, and going in is a shortcut to the exit. Unfortunately, they just missed the secret door half a minute ago.
In fact, if their observation ability is good, it is very likely that they will find the secret door. Because all the wax figures in the entire passage are similar, only the wax figure has long hair, and that wax figure is the secret door.
If they hadn't been frightened by Ye Xu once, so they didn't dare to look at those wax figures carefully, they should be able to discover this.
It's scary to think about it. The walls of the entire passage are inlaid with similar-looking wax figures. Although he knew that the one who had turned into a ghost was following behind, but looking at the wax figures on both sides that were extremely similar to Ye Xu, he couldn't help but wonder if these were clones of that ghost. Or, did the ghost not follow behind, but waited for them in front.
In the lengthy passage, the stereotyped scenes make players feel like walking into a "ghost hitting the wall".
Several players subconsciously slowed down, hesitated, and didn't dare to walk around.
"Why, why haven't you reached the fork in the road yet?"
"I do not know… "
"He, he's still behind!"
They turned their heads together, only to see Ye Xu shorten the distance with them with a sudden stride. Ye Xu, who was hanging five meters away, soon appeared in front of him.
"!!!"
So scary woo woo woo!
If it wasn't for their sanity, the four of them would have fled long ago. At that time, the loss outweighs the gain if the teammates are separated due to different speeds.
"No matter, go forward!" The captain gritted his teeth fiercely, "there must be no ghosts hitting the wall in the maze, there is no need to add such things in the maze, it's just that the passage is a little longer. Let's go, leave him alone, everyone, come closer, don't fall behind gone."
The captain's encouragement played a certain role, and after a minute, they finally came to the fork in the road. The four of them were almost crying with joy, they plunged into a fork in the road, no matter which one is the right one, no one will do it anyway, just choose whatever you want!
Ye Xu stopped at the fork in the road and did not follow. According to the rules, he can follow here at most.
"He doesn't seem to keep up..." The four players turned around after walking for a while, and were greatly relieved to find that Ye Xu hadn't kept up.
Not only did he not keep up, Ye Xu was no longer even seen at the fork in the road.
"It's okay, okay, we passed this time safely... Ah! My Cao! He's there!" The player looked back for a while, and unfortunately happened to see Ye Xu behind the wall, sticking his head out. Come out and watch their whole process.
This scene is no less than seeing Sadako slowly crawling out of the well, and it is really scary to be caught off guard.
When the teammate heard this, he turned around, and was horrified to find that there was an extra head protruding from the corner where there was no one there just now. They shouldn't be able to see clearly in the dim light, but they felt that they clearly saw the NPC smiling at them strangely.
Players: QAQ, you can't fucking finish it!
"Don't, don't be afraid, he definitely won't be able to keep up." A player said with chattering teeth, "Otherwise, he wouldn't stay close behind the wall all the time, you, tell me..."
This made sense, a few people tried it out, they walked ten meters forward, and when they looked back, Ye Xu was still there. Ten meters further forward, Ye Xu was still there.
He can't make it!
As if liberated, the four players cheered and ran away without saying a word. Although ghosts can't follow, the farther away the better, they don't want to stay in this passage at all. It feels too bad to have a ghost watching you from behind all the time.
The players escaped, but Ye Xu regretfully returned to the wall.
These four players are so cute, I don't know if the players I meet next time will be so interesting. If the next time you meet someone who is not afraid of ghosts, it will be too boring.
Ye Xu continued to "wander" in the wall, trying to find the single player.
Players in a team are not easy to be intimidated. After all, in many cases, there are enough people to feel safe. Those who are alone will be more afraid, and the loneliness will even make them make up something in their own brains to scare themselves.
But Ye Xu overlooked one thing, he dared to be alone in this kind of place, he must not be scared too much. Either you have two brushes, or you are not afraid of ghosts.
Ye Xu soon met one.
It's a girl, it's really a sin, it doesn't seem good to scare girls...
Thinking of this in his heart, Ye Xu didn't hesitate too much, but instead shamelessly chose a better time to make a move. There is a kind of vengeful heart of "I was scared before, so I want to be scared back", and a secret pleasure.
The point is, this girl looks very timid, with "Come and scare me" written all over her face, I really feel sorry for Ye Xu's professional ethics if I don't scare her.
After thinking of an excuse for himself in his heart, Ye Xu took action.
The girl didn't open the protective cover, it seems to be to save mana.
In fact, the shield on the magic wand can be switched on and off at will, it doesn't mean that it cannot be closed when it is opened. But to turn it on, you only need to press the crystal ball on the wand briefly, but to turn it off, you need to press and hold it. As a result, very few people found that the shield could be turned off, and most of them discovered it by mistake.
The vast majority of players think that it cannot be turned on or off, because when the game rules were introduced, it was said that this is a one-time item. Of course, disposable props cannot be reused, so I never thought about turning them off after opening them.
But this is actually a language trap. The so-called one-time means that the reserve of magic power is limited. After you run out of these magic powers, you will not be replenished again, so it becomes a one-time consumable.
The game party has always spared no effort in cheating players. I believe that after the players know the truth, they will definitely generate a lot of golden energy—commonly known as madness.
But these are not within the scope of Ye Xu's consideration, he is now going to jump out to scare the girl, and deliberately slow down. Then after the girl opened the protective shield, he can retreat.
In the gloomy maze, Liu Xiaoman tremblingly searched for a way out.
It's not that she doesn't want to form a team, but that few of those teams are willing to take her. The only few of them didn't have good intentions. They didn't ask her to form a team because they wanted to unite and help each other to find the exit. They were purely for the magic wand in her hand.
Liu Xiaoman has reason to believe that if she forms a team with those people, the wand will be snatched away within three minutes, or when everyone's wands run out of magic power, they will be in danger. Push her out as a scapegoat.
So she rejected all those with ulterior motives and entered the maze alone.
However, this maze is really scary!
Liu Xiaoman considers herself to be a bolder person. After walking in such a dark place for more than ten minutes, she still couldn't bear it. She clenched the life-saving wand in her hand, carefully guarding her surroundings, and if there was any trouble, she would open the wand immediately.
She wasn't worried about not being able to close it after opening it. In fact, she had accidentally turned on the magic shield five minutes ago. At that time, she was very annoyed, and felt that she was so careless that she wasted the number of times the life-saving item was used.
But the goddess of luck patronized her, and when she pressed the crystal ball on the staff in frustration, the shield was turned off again.
At first, she thought that the mana was exhausted, and complained that the mana reserve was too little. But she still tried to open the magic shield again with extravagant hopes, but she did not expect to open it again.
Only then did Liu Xiaoman discover that it was not the magic wand that had exhausted its magic power, but that the magic shield could be turned on and off at will.
This is really great news.
After discovering this secret, Liu Xiaoman was finally not so afraid. Because she will have more safe time than anyone else, allowing her to find the exit.
Liu Xiaoman stood at the fork in the road, looked around, and finally chose the passage in the middle, and walked in.
At this moment, Ye Xu possessed himself on a statue near the fork in the road.
Then... followed behind Liu Xiaoman, and reached out to pat her on the shoulder...
