Chapter 44: Four Dark Engraved Roaming in Wonderland
I walked in the designated direction for about fifteen minutes.
It took Si Anqing to finally walk out of this "roadless" forest.
"——Logically speaking, it should be feasible to directly back the board, right?"
"——Yes, if you cross 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're going to die anyway in the floor room."
"——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.
Then I saw three branches appearing in front of me - it didn't look like a wrong road taken by people, but more like a road drawn by a child, crooked and trident-like.
A straight one, and two symmetrical U-shaped ones.
A faceless gentleman, holding a cane, stood before the fork in the road.
He raised his head and looked at Si An Ke.
——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 face of the faceless gentleman was covered with crayon marks of various colors. It was like a child who lost patience halfway through painting and suddenly started 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 Dark Ke 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 with great honesty.
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. Only then did they react and recognized the source of this conversation:
"——It's the Cheshire Cat."
"——Si An Ji's Adventures in Wonderland? Jue, please don't disgust me."
——Ah, I beg for the barrage real-name system.
Si Ankeng glanced at the barrage with an expressionless expression, and this thought came to his mind.
This time it was a hell of a start.
He had already been to the ball and the candy house.
There is no doubt that you can't go to the dance - there are only some huge stone statues dancing inside. They are spinning back and forth in the middle of the dance floor, and they are carved four times. They don't even understand what they are going to do, and they are blocked by the stone statues.
Crushed to death.
He could only judge that these stone statues seemed to be chasing him. It was just that their rules were different.
Some stone statues are chasing themselves along the shortest distance, some stone statues are aiming for the location they will arrive in ten seconds, some stone statues are aiming for the location they passed by five seconds ago, and some stone statues are not until they are far enough away from it.
Otherwise, they will patrol along fixed routes...
This thing seems to have a unique solution.
But once on the dance floor, there is no safe zone.
Although the four dark carvings were not incomprehensible, he was chased by a pile of stone statues five to six meters high. His nervous brain was in chaos and he couldn't move at all - he didn't even know what he was going to do.
What exactly are you trying to find?
Or do we need to find an exit?
Or spend enough time in there?
None of it is known.
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 house.
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.
And if given the choice of a candy house, the messenger would definitely choose the candy house.
But the so-called "candy house" is basically a trap house.
There is an illusion floor in the hallway. Some of the floors are just a little transparent in color. If you accidentally step on them, you will fall down and die.
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 will be roasted alive inside.
The next one is the candy slide - a slide without handrails, like a roller coaster. If your hands are not clean when you go up to the next level, you will be thrown directly out and fall into the cauldron of sugar.
The next level is the biscuit room. It is the room where you must die - the ceiling will sense the weight in the room and fall. One person will fall halfway, while two people will fall directly to the bottom, but the path leading to the next level
The gate is at about three-fifths of the height.
Here you have to 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. The single-plank bridge is made up of stick-shaped biscuits that break when stepped on, plus hot syrup water cannons that are constantly spewing out from both sides -
…Anyway, I didn’t pass the four dark moments.
He doesn't know what the next level is.
He only knew that this was definitely a naughty child's nightmare...
Adults generally don't have that strong ability to play with flowers.
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.
The only one who has really seen the 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 bloody hands.
Yes, she died twice in the same place...
However, Si Anke has not forgotten his main mission.
——Test the pit with your life.
So let’s choose a place we haven’t been to this time...
"I want to move forward."
Si Anke replied.
The next moment, the egg-faced gentleman disappeared. Also disappearing were the paths on the left and right sides.
