Kong made up his mind and immediately flew out of Liyue Harbor with Paimon in his arms.
"Are they out?"
Zhong Li frowned: "Here we go again, that weird feeling."
Mandrill Huaihuai and Pu Yuan: "The process is roughly like this. Hall Master Hu seems to have found something under the commission column, and then went to Qunyu Pavilion, and Kongya went there after that."
"Order Column"
Zhongli put his hand on his chin: "Is there something different there?"
"One of the floor tiles was pried away. In addition to Hall Master Hu using the fire element to protect his hands for safety, a large amount of high-purity rock element residue was also detected."
"The commission column, the Hall of Rebirth, deceive my backhand."
Zhongli relaxed his brows and gently patted the huge rock crystal in front of him.
"Very good, this kid has left himself a way out."
"And that escape route should be specially designed for us to discover. After all, I am the only one who knows what tricks he did in the Hall of Rebirth."
"Jin Peng, this kid and Hu Tao met once after they went out, right? Have you ever heard Ge Chen talk about their conversation?"
Mandrill shook his head: "Ge Chen didn't say anything about this, I'm going to ask?"
"No need, it's probably that kid Hutao who saw that Sanqiu has a death wish, and some of his words left a deep impression on him. Even the power of the World Tree cannot completely erase it."
Mandrill thought about it for a moment: "Emperor, do you need me to follow you to the Dark Sea?"
"No need, or rather, absolutely not possible."
Zhong Li shook his head: "Strictly speaking, this backup plan is not prepared for us. The only one who can take this trip is Kong."
"Humans can't do it, immortals can't do it, and gods can't do it either."
"Only Sora can do that."
Zhong Li thought for a moment: "Be prepared outside Yun Lai Hai. If Kong is intercepted by some unknown person on his way back, then take action."
"If necessary, I'll let them gain their knowledge."
Zhongli's voice was cold: "The prepared backhand can only be triggered by Kong Kong, but his whereabouts cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely safe and secret. Some people will definitely want to join in the fun."
"Using this roundabout way to leave a way out for myself, no matter when I find out, it is actually only a matter of time, but this should be the last and best opportunity."
"No one will be allowed to cause trouble."
"Song, is this where Sanqiu fought?"
Paimeng pulled Kong's sleeves: "I always feel a little fuzzy in my heart, and I don't know what the reason is."
"It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable. This is the dark sea, a place beyond the control of laws."
Kong's tone was solemn: "But the most problematic point is what the magic circle in front is."
A multiple nested formation, each with extremely complex formations, appeared in the middle of the battle area.
"This style doesn't look like Liyue's specifications. It seems to be somewhat different from the normal alchemy array."
Kong frowned.
This does not seem to be something from the human world, but the power above is magnificent and powerful, and has nothing to do with the power of the abyss or the chaos and disorder of the dark sea.
"Are you going to trigger it?"
"Well, hold my hand."
Kong held Paimon's small hand tightly with his left hand, and the edgeless sword in his right hand was already filled with the power of the four elements.
"Enter."
A flash of light flashed by, and when Sora could see his surroundings clearly, his face couldn't help but be startled.
That figure in front of me, holding a spear, with a hood covering his face?
etc.
Sora looked at his right hand, which was wearing divine armor and also holding a spear.
I have seen this sister
"I retreat!"
Another burst of light flashed, and Sora and Paimon appeared on the spot, the expression on the former's face clearly depicting the word "constipation".
"It's this weird secret place again, exactly the same as the Golden House."
Paimon remembered: "You must play one of the participants, and then start a war to win the opponent. The gold Sanqiu left for you won't be hidden inside, right?"
"If nothing else happens, it should be fine, but I should be able to choose a more cunning method."
Kong said: "I'm going to try entering this formation multiple times to see if I can randomly reach Sanqiu's enemy."
"Although I hate to admit it, Sanqiu was always at a disadvantage in that battle."
Half an hour passed——
Sora looked even more constipated, and was building a campfire with Paimon to prepare a barbecue to fill his stomach.
He tried many times, but never once did he randomly go to the shadow. After entering, he always played the role of "Gu Sanqiu".
"It shouldn't be. The Golden House Secret Realm doesn't have this problem. Which link is the problem?"
Paimon put his hands on his chin: "I don't know, whether we go in together or you go in alone, it will always be Sanqiu, not the other side."
"Well, the Golden House is the most serious random player, and it seems that it has trained many good players in the past few years."
Kong took a bite of the barbecue and said, "There is something we have overlooked, such as the formation, or the secret realm that cannot be randomized at all."
Paimon thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
"By the way, how about we try another method."
Kong was stunned: "What method."
"If you think about it, there are only two of us. The control variable method is really convenient to use, but there is no accurate explanation until now."
Paimon said: "Is there a possibility that in addition to 'winning', this formation also has another necessary condition that we have not noticed."
Besides winning?
The human aspect is not a problem.
So what can actually change has nothing to do with reality, but rather a more illusory concept?
The entity's requirement should be to defeat the opponent using the consistent routine of this strange secret realm.
If the concept of illusion also has a requirement, it may be another part, which is also the biggest key to triggering it.
If these two conditions cannot be met at the same time, even if you defeat your opponent, you may not be able to get the "five thousand taels of gold" that Sanqiu mentioned.
It is not a secret realm with random identities like the Golden House, but a fixed place where you can only play Sanqiu and fight against inexplicable strong men.
Sora's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he couldn't help but pick up Paimon and spin him around several times.
"As expected of you, my most powerful guide. Maybe things are really what you judged!"
"Put me down, put me down!"
Paimon blushed and bared his teeth: "What have you realized?"
"I know, I know why I can only play Sanqiu in this secret realm!"
Kong said excitedly: "We will go in immediately after eating. I know where the problem lies."
After eating and drinking, Paimon proudly puffed up his chest and enjoyed Sora's praise, but he still felt unsure.
"Song, what exactly is the problem you mentioned?"
"Performing, completely performing, or to put it more bluntly, that's the mentality."
Kong said confidently: "Sanqiu came here with no intention of going back alive. He started the war here with the consciousness of death."
Paimon was a little surprised: "You must die, do you have to die once in a battle in the secret realm?"
"No, I understand what it means. If this thing is copied by others, the effect will not be that good."
Entering the secret realm, Kong once again put on the Jade Zhang Divine Armor.
"I am a traveler and a descendant."
"I will play the role of a person who is determined to die. The spiritual meaning behind it will be most obvious when he understands it. Only after victory can he most likely trigger the treasure left by Sanqiu."
