Jia Jiatian's words made everyone panic, and they all carefully checked the tag on the door. The most panicked person was undoubtedly Tusker - so it was he who, after a desperate search, finally found
After entering the corner of the corridor for the third time, he shouted: "There is another way here! It only takes 20 o'clock!"
Lin Sanjiu had seen the passage behind the corner of the corridor several times: not a few meters away, there was a large piece of tent cloth blocking the road, with the words "Under construction, please do not pass" - "Construction" printed on the cloth.
"Earth" is probably the cutoff point set by the dungeon. Where is the road before the tent?
When she hurried over with the others and took a look, she realized that Tusker had actually gotten into the shed.
"Look," Tusker's face turned red because of his excitement. He lifted up the shed cloth and pointed to the back and said, "This cloth is not set here. The construction site is still behind!"
Lin Sanjiu swept through the tent cloth and found that, as he said, the walkway in the distance seemed to have been peeled off, revealing large areas of gray cement; stacks of bricks were piled on the side of the walkway, along with many
Unnamed tools and wires blocked the way forward.
Between the construction site and the tent, there was a small intact corridor. It was on this corridor that the tenth road appeared - it was also a door. The sign only required a minimum bet of 20 points.
"What's going on...?" Pina retracted her head from under the tent cloth and murmured, "I thought we couldn't force the interception set up by the copy..."
"No," Tusker said, raising his arms, the tent cloth was pulled down with a crash. "I just tried to step on the construction ground, and the cement underneath immediately collapsed. I didn't know it.
I went somewhere, so I hurried back. I suspected that either someone had put up an extra piece of cloth here, or someone had moved the piece of cloth forward a certain distance, blocking the tenth road.
"
"Why do you do such a thing?" Lin Sanjiu looked at the door of the 20-point room and said, "Someone doesn't want others to discover this path with the lowest points?"
"I've decided to take this route anyway," Tasker's words were not surprising at all: "I've seen it and the description of the road at 30 o'clock is the same, both 'may lead to the end', 'slightly
It's not an easy road, and only one person can enter every five minutes. Even the length is similar, this road is 800 meters, and the road at 30 o'clock is 950 meters. Since there is not much difference in all aspects, why don't I choose the cheaper one?"
The only difference besides the points is that the odds of the 30-point road are 1:2, while the odds of the 20-point road are 1:1.5 - the difference is really not that big.
While several people were discussing one by one, Lin Sanjiu noticed that Pan Cui silently turned back to the corridor outside the corner; when she subconsciously followed, Pan Cui heard her footsteps and turned back
He looked at it and smiled at her.
"Aren't you going to take the 20 o'clock route?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"Actually, you don't want to take that road either?" Pan Cui observed her expression and said with a smile: "Tasker is right in saying that the conditions of the two roads are not much different. Since they are not very different, what should I do?
Why don’t you choose a road that no one has touched before?”
She didn't lower her voice deliberately; Pina happened to poke her head out from behind the corner at this time, and said "Ahhhh" when she heard the words, "Both statements are very reasonable... Why, you both decided to leave at 30 o'clock"
the way?"
Pan Cui responded with action: she walked to the door of the room on the 30 o'clock road, took out two chips, and placed them all on the ground under the sign - every time a chip is placed on the ground, it is equivalent to the next bet; since
She only put it once, and both chips disappeared, indicating that they were 15 points each and not a good thing.
Pina took a breath and said as if she still couldn't believe it: "Are we really going to act separately?"
"I have decided to take this option," Pan Cui pressed her hand on the doorknob, turned around and smiled at Pina, and said, "You are welcome to come too, I will wait for you inside."
After that, she looked at her watch, pushed the door open and walked in - the door closed behind her with a bang, and the tag under the handle was shaken.
"Really going in?" Tusker also poked his head out, with an irritated look on his face, "Can't you see that she is so willful and leaves as soon as she says it? How unsafe is it to be separated?"
Although he said it was not safe to separate, he hesitated for a while but still did not change his mind. "The text description is vague, maybe it looks the same," Tasker argued, "but you can tell from the odds.
Which way is safer?"
What he said made sense; but Lin Sanjiu couldn't explain the reason. When five minutes had almost passed, her footsteps still stopped at the door of 30 o'clock road.
Compared to Tusker's deliberation and caution, somehow the choice made by Pan Cui seemed to be more attractive.
Even Pina was obviously hesitant; before Lin Sanjiu put the chips of "Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" on the ground, Pina came up with an idea and said: "Don't go in yet, knock on the door and ask her what's inside?"
"
If a dungeon can't even guard against this, it won't be called a dungeon.
After putting away the change chips, Lin Sanjiu opened the door, and a section of darkness suddenly opened from the door. The air was dark and cool, as if it had not been disturbed for a long time, and contained a faint smell of dust and mold.
, rushed into her nasal cavity; Pina said "Hey" behind her, and before Lin Sanjiu could hear what she said clearly, the door had closed automatically - after a "dong", all sounds were cut off
Outside the door, it seems as if the world outside the door no longer exists.
Inside the door, the only sounds left were Lin Sanjiu and her own breathing in the darkness, which sounded like it was not hers. She subconsciously held her breath, and the breathing stopped, which made her feel relieved.
"...Pan Cui?"
When she called out and took a tentative step forward, there was a sudden "crack" sound in the darkness ahead, and a dim light bulb hanging from the ceiling feebly lit up.
Unlike what she imagined, this place was not an apartment. Although it was as chaotic and dilapidated as if it had been destroyed by a bomb, the remains of the former cubicles could still be seen; under the overturned desks, there were holes that had been punched through.
A computer monitor with a hole in it; a dead dry brown fern tree in a broken flower pot, buried under broken bricks, dust and debris - in the place illuminated by the light bulb, it is difficult to even find a place to set foot.
"Lin Sanjiu?"
Pan Cui's voice rang out from far ahead in the darkness. Lin Sanjiu looked up and found that a light had also come on in the office where the wall had been smashed from the front; Pan Cui carefully tilted the half door and stuck it in the
He got out from under the door in the hole, patted the dust on his body, and said, "This seems to be a commercial and residential building... Where is Pina, is she planning to come in too?"
"I don't know." Lin Sanjiu didn't move. She looked around carefully, feeling that something was missing. "When I came in, she hadn't made up her mind yet."
"Then let's wait for her for five minutes," Pan Cui looked at her watch and said, "This area should be considered safe. Nothing happened while I was waiting for you."
With the dim light, Lin Sanjiu looked around the ruins again, and finally realized what was missing. "Where are the arrows? Why didn't I see any?"
Pan Cui sighed. "Did you notice it too? I haven't seen any arrows since I came in. Maybe this means there are no forks in the office, so there is no need for arrows?"
"No, there are no forks on the scaffolding. There are arrows as well... If there were no arrows at that time, we would not have known where the end of the scaffolding road was." Lin Sanjiu frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "You
How did you get there?"
"How to get there?" Pan Cui was startled, pointing to the large pieces of broken bricks in front of her, and said, "I just found a place to stay and stepped on all this rubbish."
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and looked down, and the idea that was aroused by her intuition became more and more clear in her heart. Before she had time to explain, she hurriedly removed the broken bricks and broken boards in front of her, which were so dirty that they could not be seen clearly.
The documents were all kicked aside.
The dust flying all over the sky dimmed the lights; the floor with accumulated scars and damage was gradually revealed. She thought she had guessed wrong at first, but after sweeping away another clearing,
Lin Sanjiu finally caught a strip of yellow among the black ashes and garbage.
Pan Cui had already reacted at this time and rushed over to help Lin Sanjiu kick away the things. The two of them were choked by dust and narrowed their eyes. They covered their mouths and noses with their arms. After a long time, they finally found
A buried arrowhead emerged.
"Why are you hiding it?" Pan Cui complained from the crook of his arm. Following the direction pointed by the arrow, he kicked open another cubicle board that was still barely standing. As the board fell on the floor
There was a deep muffled sound, and a lightbulb in front of it turned on again - an office chair that was so dirty that its original color could not be seen, slowly slid back a little as if it was pushed by someone's toes.
Lin Sanjiu and Pan Cui both paused.
From the back of the office chair, there is a face with a chin hanging up and a forehead hanging down. The two eyes are still open, but the eyeballs have long since disappeared. There are two dry holes in the dark hole, and it seems that the wind will blow out.
The dry, brown and wrinkled skin was like a leather product that had been left for too long, and it was almost impossible to tell that it belonged to a human being; the neck of the corpse was twisted into an angle that a living person could not achieve, and its limbs were hanging limply on the ground.
.
It only takes one glance to tell that the corpse was once an evolver. Although the condition of the corpse was so bad that even men and women could not be distinguished, it was only covered with a layer of gray clothes, but it was undoubtedly an evolver of the twelve realms.
dress up.
Another yellow arrow just emerged, right at the foot of the corpse of the office chair.
"Can it be said that someone could die on a 'slightly difficult' road?" Teacher Yi murmured.
"Hey, I'm in,"
When Pina's greeting suddenly came from behind, both of them were startled. Pina saw them and shouted: "They both went to the 20 o'clock road - what are you looking at?"
