Chapter 314 The Fool’s Cage (8)
It’s so mysterious!
After realizing that the red scarecrow was missing again, Fu Qian calmly withdrew his gaze.
In fact, this is far from the only weird thing.
At this moment, the entire hotel is changing.
The corridor that was straight and flat just now, at first glance, turned out to be a downward slope, leading to nowhere.
At the same time, various strange patterns also appeared on the dark red carpet.
The pattern stripes are almost half a palm wide, the brightness is significantly higher than the surrounding environment, and the colors and shapes are different.
Swirls, edges, parallel diagonals, and various weird shapes challenge people's imagination. Some even extend to the walls on both sides, making it dazzling at first glance.
Is there something wrong with the magic mirror?
Fu Qian frowned slightly.
The scene in front of me undoubtedly shows that the hotel has become unusual.
But whether it was led to another time and space by the opening of the magic mirror is still unclear.
However, judging from the strange scene in front of us, there may be dangers ahead.
Unexpectedly, Violetta not only didn't look too scared, she even seemed very interested in the changing corridor.
Without even saying hello to Fu Qian, the little girl ran ahead directly, stepping on the patterns on the ground.
Looking at the bouncing figure in front of him, Fu Qian followed him directly without saying anything.
Although it is not yet certain which direction is better, front or back.
But there is no doubt that standing still is definitely a bad choice.
Since Violetta is Snow White, you might as well believe in her halo as the protagonist.
…
While quickly following Violetta, he walked forward and observed the surrounding environment.
The carpet underfoot is soft and thick, making almost no sound when you step on it.
The doors of the rooms on both sides of the corridor were also closed, and no other people could be seen.
It seemed like they were the only two people left alive in the huge hotel.
In addition, walking on the weird patterns, in the silence, it even feels like being swallowed by a giant creature and being digested bit by bit.
Time passed by, and according to the estimate before payment, they should have walked down more than five floors.
Yet this corridor seems endless, with no end in sight.
This kind of endless repetition of scenes is undoubtedly very easy to make people feel tired. At the same time, the dazzling patterns under the feet are also quite disturbing to the vision.
Fu Qian was thinking about whether to change his plan, but Violetta, who was jumping in front of him, suddenly stopped and stood still.
Found anything?
This little girl obviously has amazing physical strength. She hasn't rested for so long, but now she stops whenever she wants.
Fu Qian followed Violetta's gaze and immediately discovered the reason why she stopped——
Where another door should have been, it was now replaced by a strange object.
It was a circular relief mounted on the wall. The material looked like white marble. Judging from the mottled texture, it was quite old.
Surrounded by patterns, there is a group of human facial features, the most eye-catching of which is the wide-open mouth, which is so dark that you can't see the bottom.
Mouth of truth?
Fu Qian recognized what was in front of him almost immediately.
This extremely legendary item, which has appeared in many stories, is still highly recognizable.
And its abilities are rumored to be miraculous.
From biting off the liar's hand to swallowing the person whole, there are different opinions.
But in general, it is a manhole cover-like lie detector, and you must never lie in front of it.
But from Fu Qian's point of view, the magic of this thing is not that it can really detect lies.
It's the psychological effect of the numerous information hints that anyone who sees it can't help but want to put their hands in it.
In fact, the next moment, Fu Qian stepped forward and grabbed Violetta.
The latter was already standing on tiptoes, and his thin arms were only ten centimeters away from the mouth.
"What do you want to do?"
After stopping this person, Fu Qian asked expressionlessly.
"Get the reward!"
Violetta looked at Fu Qian in shock, wondering why he was holding her back.
"award?"
Fu Qian frowned even more tightly and pointed at the Mouth of Truth.
"Do you know what this is?"
Um!
Violetta responded simply.
"Mom said, this is called the Pinocchio Processor, and after Snow White encounters it, she can get rewards from its mouth."
What a Pinocchio processor!
Fu Qian rubbed his head, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
Although it can be seen from the previous information that Snow White's mother is very carefree when telling stories.
But to call the Mouth of Truth directly this is still amazing.
I can still understand what she means now.
The Mouth of Truth specializes in killing liars, and the honest child Snow White obviously can't lie, so it's really easy to pick things up.
"Then I will continue to take it?"
Without saying anything more before meeting, Violetta asked next.
…
He rubbed his chin before paying.
In any case, although Violetta was full of confidence, reaching in was definitely a risky move.
If the arm is really bitten by then, the situation will undoubtedly be very difficult.
But the current situation... He glanced down the endless corridor.
Along the way, this is undoubtedly the first unusual thing, and there may indeed be some clues in it.
And looking at Violetta's appearance, it was impossible for her to give up easily.
"continue!"
Fu Qian finally chose to believe in the aura of this protagonist again, while silently recalling the method of bandaging a severed limb.
"OK."
When Fu Qian's hand was released, Violetta didn't think too much, and immediately stood on tiptoes and stretched her right arm in.
"answer my question……"
Almost instantly, a dull voice came from the relief.
Looking at Violetta's appearance, it was obvious that her arm was stuck.
It is truly the mouth of truth!
Although he had expected it, Fu Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
However, although she was trapped, Violetta did not show any panic on her face, as if she had known this for a long time.
"go ahead!"
She said confidently.
…
"Question...are you the most beautiful person in the world?"
The statue paused for a few seconds before finally speaking slowly.
It’s really just the protagonist’s halo!
This question made Fu Qian next to him stunned.
Could it be more obvious to let the water go? Sure enough, I was right to trust Violetta.
…
However, unexpectedly, after hearing the question, Violetta's snow-white face wrinkled up and seemed a little difficult to answer.
"no."
Finally, after thinking seriously for a few seconds, she shook her head firmly.
The next moment, her body relaxed obviously and her arm slowly pulled out.
It has been a gloomy week, but the good news is that after a lot of tests, surgery may not be needed for the time being. I will adjust the update as soon as possible.
