After closing the door, Xu Huo motioned for the painting girl to come out, and stopped her from turning into a human, "Be careful of being discovered."
However, the painted girl smiled and turned into a real person, saying proudly: "They can't catch me."
"Doll?" Xu Huo's expression paused slightly. There were not many dolls in the castle. In addition to the real doll that he and Lian Hanshan encountered first, there were several dolls made of different materials. However,
They are all placed randomly in the castle. There is no special collection. They are more like dolls that were originally able to move independently and suddenly lost their momentum and stopped somewhere randomly.
He recalled that the painting girl once said that she suspected that she had been to the Suitcase Man's castle.
"Are you sure it's this castle?"
The painting girl nodded. In order to avoid attracting the attention of people outside, she chose to type: "I remember this place. Someone brought me here. It's quite big here."
The Painted Girl doesn't want to be someone else's prop, but she is easy to deceive. Basically, she will follow others as long as the player asks her to. She was once brought here by a player, but the fate of that player can be imagined.
The person who brought her here died, and the castle was not hers. In the end, she escaped with a doll...
Thinking of this, Xu Huo looked at her, "How did you run out?"
"I'll go out as soon as the door opens." The painting girl wrote with a smile.
Xu Huo described the appearance of the man carrying the suitcase and confirmed that the painting girl had never seen him before adding, "Don't you know who opened the door?"
The painting girl shook her head, saying that she was bored in the castle, and emphasized that the dolls here were very vicious. Every time she wanted to come down to play, she would be discovered, and she had no choice but to stick them back on the wall. Then one day
She suddenly found that the door was open, so she "asked" a puppet for its opinion and took her to a new life.
Noticing that there was a small gap between when she said she opened the door and when she left with the puppets, Xu Huo asked her what changes had occurred in the castle before and after she opened the door, and what the outside world was like after walking out of the door.
"I didn't see anyone else come in when I left," the painter said: "The house seems to have not changed, but the dolls are very busy and know how to cook and sweep the floor... They are not willing to cook for me.
"
After all the talk, no key information was mentioned, so Xu Huo asked her how long she had been in before the door opened.
The painting girl didn’t remember it at all and felt that he was making things difficult for her, “It just happened suddenly.”
She made a gesture of pushing the door upward.
"The door is above your head?" Xu Huo paused.
The painting girl nodded repeatedly and pointed upward, "The door is up there, where there is light."
Because of the special height of the castle, the location of the dome is too high, so the lights are at the bottom, there are no lighting tools on top, and like other parts of the castle, they are completely sealed without leaving any gaps.
Xu Huo patiently continued to ask and found out that the "door" the painting girl mentioned was not an actual door, but a gap. When the gap appeared, she could sense and find it, so she could successfully run out with the puppet.
It wasn't that a door opened on the castle dome, but that a portal appeared in the castle space that could lead to the outside.
Based on what she said before, it is very likely that the suitcase man entered the castle, which also means that he opened the suitcase.
Assuming that Xu Huo's previous inferences are true, then the suitcase must be a space-time prop. When the door is opened, the space portal opens. Regardless of whether the person carrying the suitcase comes in or not, this space passage is formed, but the time is not determined.
Time is important.
After explaining it to the painting girl, Xu Huo asked her to put it back on her clothes.
"It's been a long time. Are you feeling sick in your stomach?" the young female player asked with concern.
The other two didn't say anything.
"Let's get to know each other," the man with the backpack said.
The three of them had just exchanged names. The female player's surname was Zhu. She didn't say her first name. She asked others to call her Zhu Zhu. She is a fashion designer by profession.
The man with the backpack is named Guan Donglai. He is an extreme athlete by profession. According to him, his favorite thing is climbing.
Lian Hanshan had already introduced himself to Xu Huo before. He used to be a training teacher and his current profession is a future planner.
"Is there such a profession in the game? Is future planning also a profession?" Zhu Zhu asked curiously.
"There are many strange professions." Lian Hanshan said with a good temper.
Xu Huo's introduction was very simple, "Yu Er, a freelance painter."
Occupations are often not linked to the props used by players, and because players use props more frequently, there is no psychological burden when talking about professions when introducing themselves.
After getting to know each other, Guan Donglai proposed a way to break the situation.
"I have a prop that requires more than three people to use. Maybe I can go out."
"It doesn't matter where we are. As long as the dungeon is not opened, we are considered to be in a 'free' state. If we are not forcibly restricted by the game, we can just open the luggage man's suitcase."
The other three people present remained silent in surprise. It might be okay to change the subject, but the man carrying the suitcase is a super player. No matter what the situation is, it will not be as simple as it sounds.
"Do you know what is imprisoning us?" Zhu Zhu asked.
"It's not important." Guan Donglai said: "Whether it's a prop or a dungeon, even if we know it, we can't rely on strength and logical thinking to solve the problem like we can by clearing the dungeon. We can only rely on props."
He said and took out a colorful rope and put it on the table.
"The name of this prop is Escape from Death. When used by multiple people at the same time, the rope can open up a survival channel in any dangerous situation. The condition is that everyone must pay for a space-time A-level prop."
These words made the three people present twitch their eyelids. Zhu Zhu opened his mouth and asked: "A-level props? Do they have to be A-level props?"
"It can only be A-level props," Guan Donglai said: "Without enough compensation, how can it be possible to open a portal in this space? So it must not only be A-level, but also space-time type."
Seeing that he said so confidently, Zhu Zhu was temporarily discouraged and turned to the other two people, "Do you have any?"
"I do have A-level props," Lian Hanshan frowned slightly, "but not the time and space props. The number of time and space props is already scarce, let alone of this level."
"Me too." Xu Huo looked at Guan Donglai, "Have you tried using space instruments?"
Guan Donglai paused, seeming to be thinking, and then said after a moment: "You can try it, but the instrument is likely to be destroyed, and do you have three A-level space instruments?"
Under the gazes of several people, Xu Huo shook his head slightly disappointedly.
Guan Donglai was also very sorry. He put the props away. At this time, Xu Huo asked again: "Can a prop be used by only one person?"
"Of course," the latter pointed to the castle wall, "even if such a space can be forcibly opened, the time will be very short. It is already very good to be able to pass alone. Sorry, I can only find others. Maybe others have it."
