The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 44: 4 A Secret Journey into Wonderland
We walked in the designated direction for about fifteen minutes.
Si Anke finally walked out of this "roadless" forest.
"——Logically speaking, direct backplane should be feasible, right?"
"——Yes, if you pass the Milin Pass on your back, you don't have to kill the messenger brother."
"——Then why don't you go directly to the messenger brother? You will still die in the floor room anyway."
"——That's true..."
Players are still discussing.
And Si Anke has gradually begun to concentrate.
Because he knows that this copy has officially started as of now.
Si Anke walked a few steps forward from the road.
I saw three branches appearing in front of me - it didn't look like a wrong path taken by people, but more like a crooked and trident-like path drawn by a child.
A straight one, and two symmetrical U-shaped ones.
A faceless gentleman, holding a cane, is standing before the fork in the road.
He raised his head and looked at Si Anke.
——The painting style of this gentleman is like a familiar from the world of Madoka Magica.
Si An complained in his heart.
He has no facial features - this does not mean that his face is as smooth as a duck egg.
Rather, it's quite the opposite.
The faceless gentleman's face is covered with crayon marks of various colors. It's like a child who loses patience halfway through painting and suddenly starts scribbling, turning it into a messy "egg".
So maybe we can also call it the "egg-faced gentleman".
"Sir," the egg-faced gentleman said, "from here on, there is no turning back."
Although Si Anke already knows the answer to this dialogue, as a dialogue that opens the mechanism, it cannot be omitted.
Because this is an important step in selecting levels... and almost every time I come to this dreamland,
Therefore, Si Anke still respectfully asked the egg-faced gentleman: "So, where should I go?"
The egg-faced gentleman asked: "Where do you want to go?"
"...To be honest, I don't know either."
Si Anqi answered extremely honestly.
He really doesn't know.
"In that case."
The egg-faced gentleman replied slowly: "It doesn't matter where you go."
"Where do these three roads lead to?"
"Here," the egg-faced gentleman raised his left hand, "leads to the ball. And here," he raised his right hand again, "leads to the candy house. And behind me, there is Mr. Bear's home. You can go wherever you like, but remember... you can't look back."
——Grass (a plant).
Si An took great pains to resist the urge to curse.
Why is it so difficult this time?
The barrage suddenly became noisy:
"——Go dance!"
"——No, no, no, it’s time to go to the candy house this time. I didn’t bring a messenger with me this time, so I might be able to run further."
There were also players who had never watched the live broadcast before, and they finally realized and recognized the source of this conversation:
"——It's the Cheshire Cat."
"——The Four Secret Adventures in Wonderland? Don't be disgusted with me."
——Ah, I beg you for the barrage real-name system.
Si An glanced at the barrage with an expressionless expression, and had this thought in his mind.
This time it was a **** of a start.
He has already been to the dance party and the candy house.
There is no doubt that you can't go to the ball - there are just some huge stone statues dancing inside. They kept spinning back and forth in the middle of the dance floor, and they were carved four times. They were crushed to death by the stone statues before they even understood what they were trying to do.
He could only tell that these stone statues seemed to be chasing him. It's just that their rules are different.
Some stone statues are chasing themselves along the shortest distance, some stone statues are aiming for the position they will arrive in ten seconds, some stone statues are aiming for the position they passed by five seconds ago, and some stone statues are not chasing themselves unless they are there. Get close enough or it will patrol a fixed route...
This thing seems to have a unique solution.
But once on the dance floor, there is no safe zone.
Although Si An Ke was not unable to figure it out, he was chased by a bunch of five to six meter high stone statues. His nervous brain was in chaos and he couldn't move at all - he didn't even know what he was going to do. clear.
What exactly are you trying to find?
Still want to find the exit?
Or stay in there for enough time?
Unknown.
Let’s wait for Sister Jiu’er to type this.
Ji people have their own destiny...
Si An thought deeply in his heart.
As for the candy house...it's basically a trap room.
This is also the reason why he wants to kill the messenger - the road was not chosen by him, but by the messenger.
If he didn't have a token, then Si An would not be able to see this "egg-faced gentleman" at all, and there would only be one of the three paths in front of him.
If he could choose a candy house, the messenger would definitely choose a candy house.
But the so-called "candy house" is basically a trap house.
The entrance corridor is the illusion floor, and some of the floors are just slightly transparent in color. If you accidentally step on it, you will fall straight to your death.
The first room ahead is the high temperature room.
The key is hidden in a pile of huge cakes, and the temperature in the room will continue to rise. If you can't find the key, you'll be roasted alive inside.
The next one is the candy slide - a roller coaster-like slide without handrails. If you don't clean your hands when you go to the next level, you will be thrown away and fall into the sugar pot.
The next level is the cookie room. That is, the room where you will die - the ceiling will fall in response to the weight in the room. One person would fall halfway, while two people would fall directly to the bottom, but the door to the next level is about three-fifths of the way up.
Here you must give up all the weight on your body before you can barely enter the next level.
Further back is a "single-plank bridge" that looks like some kind of variety show. A single-plank bridge composed of stick-shaped biscuits that break when stepped on, coupled with hot syrup water cannons constantly spurting out from both sides——
...Anyway, Si An Ke failed.
He doesn’t know what the next level is.
He only knows that this is definitely a naughty child’s nightmare...
Adults generally don’t have that strong ability to play tricks.
So far, Si An Ke has not even seen the "Mill".
He died crazily right here at the fork in the road...that is, at the second save point. ~IndoMTL.com~The only one who has actually seen a mill is Jiu'er.
That time, Jiu'er finally died from touching the miller's daughter's toy with her hands stained with mud.
By the way, she died another time after touching a toy with her **** hands.
Yes, she died twice in the same place...
However, Si Anke has not forgotten his main mission.
——Test the pit with your life.
Then let’s choose a place that we have never been to this time...
"I want to move forward."
Si Anke replied.
The next moment, the egg-faced gentleman disappeared. Also disappearing are the paths on the left and right sides.
As if everything before was just an illusion.
