Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1858: The three-legged cat in the forest also has spring

Drawing the large net of broken gypsum blocks, Lin Sanjiu approached the pool.

The Courtyard of the Colossus instance ends only when the final step of hide-and-seek - declaring that you have caught the target - is complete. There was only the first sentence of her statement, as if the copy was suspended; in the helpless silence of the child statue, she slid down to the edge of the pool and glanced at the fountain standing alone in the center of the empty pool. .

“Once you realize the key to hide and seek, the truth is actually very simple.”

She waved to her mentor, who immediately trotted into the courtyard; as an object, he could come and go without any hindrance.

"In all hide-and-seek games, the target will be hidden, right? There is a saying that sounds like nonsense, but I still have to emphasize it." Lin Sanjiu smiled tiredly and said, "The target is hidden. And then, ostensibly, it's gone, right?"

"It's really nonsense..." The instructor just muttered, and suddenly his eyes widened. "Eh?"

"Yes," Lin Sanjiu nodded and said, "In other words, the thing that existed before the start of this hide-and-seek game but disappeared after it started is the real target."

It’s funny to say that it was such a nonsense and simple principle applicable to any hide-and-seek game - "find the missing thing" that made her turn a blind eye to it, go around in circles for a long time, and still lose it. He lost half his strength.

"What disappeared?" The instructor had been sitting down just now, but now he stood up again, looked around the courtyard, and said, "I can see that there is something extra..."

After the dungeon started, the courtyard returned to its original intact appearance, with the cracks merging again, and the half-broken pillar growing into a section, making it complete again. Lin Sanjiu spent a lot of time just now, precisely because she had to check these "extra" parts one by one and eliminate them one by one.

"No, one of the most conspicuous things is gone." She said, loosening her consciousness and pointing to the pool.

The instructor looked at the pool blankly.

"Before we triggered the dungeon," Lin Sanjiu said, "Isn't there a half-naked female statue standing in this pool? That's what I was looking for."

When the instructor took a breath of cold air, the large pile of broken plaster blocks on the ground suddenly rolled and rolled up. From the hands of the statue of the man with a thick beard and fish tail, the spear tips also fell into pieces and fell to the ground. On the ground - in what seemed like a blink of an eye, all the plaster fragments came together again, condensing into the original one and a half (not shown in brackets) *** statue.

It is about the same size as a human being, standing quietly in the pool, as if it has never moved.

The gray and black marks, blurs and cracks left by the passage of time have eroded this heavy and fragile dead object; compared to the other five giant statues, it looks particularly dull and silent.

"Come out, come out..." the instructor murmured.

When Lin Sanjiu lifted his eyes from it, he realized that the giant courtyard had once again become dilapidated and deserted. Vines and weeds crawled over the broken masonry again, the trees spread into a small wild forest, and all five giant statues disappeared. The wind blew through the courtyard, and a puff of gray sand was blown up from the long-dried pool.

Is it over?

The last bit of uneasiness and doubt in Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly fell like a boulder.

"It looks like there won't be another round, right?" The instructor obviously had the same worry just now, looking around and saying.

Looking at it this way, the female statue in the pool really looks like a switch: when it appears, the copy is off; when it disappears, the copy is activated.

"Before triggering the dungeon, we clearly looked at the courtyard several times..." Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly and said, "But when the five giant statues appeared, I still left this half (Don’t look at the brackets) The naked female statue was forgotten.”

Looking back now, those five giant statues pressed heavily on people's retinas and nerves, occupying all her energy and vision - those high-pitched laughter with standard pronunciation, covering her mouth to suppress it The plaster cheeks that swelled when laughing, half of the face exposed from behind the bench... It became difficult to look away from them, and it became something that people did not dare to do.

"Then how do you know it's hidden in the fish tail statue?" the instructor asked.

“I didn’t know that at first.” Lin Sanjiu felt exhausted as soon as she relaxed, and sighed, “When I realized that this female statue disappeared after the dungeon started, I then thought that its hiding method might be related to broken gypsum blocks... Isn't there a saying? The best place to hide a leaf is in the forest... All statues can be broken into gypsum blocks and then reassembled. , in this process, there is an extra ball of plaster mixed in, isn't it perfect? ​​Unfortunately, I don't know which statue it is hidden in."

And if this ball of plaster is evenly distributed among the five statues, this one has longer hair and that one has an extra piece of skirt, it will be even harder to find.

"But when I calmed down and thought about it, I knew that the plaster that formed the real target would not be distributed on multiple statues... It was simple, because if I grabbed the plaster block of more than one statue, I would be immediately Announced that the arrest was wrong."

The instructor frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "I understand, the target is only hidden in one statue, and the two female statues carrying the flower basket and the kettle can be eliminated."

"Yes, they are both the same size, even the flower basket and kettle are similar in size."

However, the remaining three statues are of different sizes, and are all larger than the half-naked female statue. They could be hidden in anyone. This step blocked Lin Sanjiu’s thoughts. Stayed for half a day.

The breakthrough came when she recalled that she had grabbed part of the statue of the man with the thick beard and fish tail.

"Do you remember what the plaster piece of the fish-tailed man statue looked like after I first grabbed it?" Lin Sanjiu nodded when he saw his instructor, and continued: "The amount of plaster is too small, it is not a whole piece. It has shrunk a bit, but a piece of the face is missing."

This also means that the position of each piece of plaster is destined; the plaster that should be used to pinch the face will be missing if it is missing, and it will not be replenished with the plaster of the body.

"If the original size of the statue and the amount of plaster required are fixed, then suddenly there will be an extra ball of plaster..."

"Ah, that's why you attacked the spear!" Before Lin Sanjiu finished speaking, the instructor immediately added, "Because it is the only thing that is 'external' and does not affect the original shape of the statue."

Although it seems to make sense in theory, Lin Sanjiu is not very confident in his own inference ability - after all, this is not an answer that can be obtained through a mimicry gift package.

"Based on the size of the female statue in my memory, I roughly guessed its 'quality', and then used the method Kurosawa Ji taught me to measure everything in the courtyard..." Lin Sanjiu explained , "At that time, I realized that the 'presence' of the spear, or the pressure of its mass on the space, was very similar to that of the female statue. In other words, they required about the same amount of plaster.~ IndoMTL.com~ And the fourteenth game happens to be an excellent opportunity: the superficial target used to blind people's eyes happens to be the same as the real target.

"If the apparent target was not the statue of the fish-tailed man, I might not even have a chance to grab the spear." Lin Sanjiu took a long breath and stood up from the edge of the pool.

Half of her physical strength was eaten, and she finally finished the Colossus Courtyard instance. Now she stood up straight and took a look, and found that the surroundings were still dilapidated and empty; the entire Colossus Courtyard instance was silent, as if it had just been It looked like nothing had happened, let alone the rewards that ordinary copies would have.

"That's it?" If it weren't for the fear of activating the dungeon again, Lin Sanjiu would have really wanted to knock the female statue a few times, "I passed the dungeon, but it was in vain?"

"At least I saved my life, which is better than anything else..." The instructor muttered and was suddenly startled in the middle of his words. "No, look!"

Lin Sanjiu looked in the direction he was pointing and found a faint indicator arrow on the brick ground covered with grass and wild flowers in the courtyard.

The thread of her sweater leads to the left; the indicator arrow points straight forward.
