Chapter 44

Walk in the designated direction for about fifteen minutes.

Si Anke finally walked out of this "roadless" forest.

"—It stands to reason that a direct backplane should be feasible, right?"

"—Yeah, if the backplane crosses the Lost Forest Pass, there is no need to kill the messenger brother."

"—Then why don't you just walk over with the messenger brother? Anyway, you're going to die in the floor room."

"—It's also..."

Players are still discussing.

And the four dark moments have gradually begun to concentrate.

Because he knows that this dungeon has officially started until now...

Si Anke took a few steps forward from the road.

Then I saw three branches appearing in front of them - it didn't look like a wrong road that people walked out, it was more like a road drawn by a child, crooked like a trident.

A straight one, and two symmetrical U-shaped ones.

A faceless gentleman, holding a cane, is standing just before the fork in the road.

He raised his head and looked at Si Anke.

——The painting style of this gentleman is like a familiar in the magical girl Madoka world.

Si An groaned in his heart.

He has no facial features - that's not to say, his face is as clean as a duck's egg.

Rather the opposite.

The faceless gentleman's face is covered with crayon marks of various colors. It's like a child painting, losing patience and suddenly starting to scribble after halfway through painting, and it turned into a messy "egg".

Therefore, it may also be called the "egg-faced gentleman".

"Sir," said the egg-faced gentleman, "from here on out, there is no turning back."

Although Si Anke already knew the answer to this dialogue, this dialogue as an opening mechanism cannot be omitted.

Because this is an important part of the selection... And almost every time I come to this dream,

Therefore, Si Anke respectfully asked the egg-faced gentleman, "So, where should I go?"

The egg-faced gentleman asked back, "Where do you want to go?"

"...To be honest, I don't know either."

Si Anke answered honestly.

He really doesn't know.

"In that case."

The egg-faced gentleman replied slowly, "It's the same wherever you go."

"Where do these three roads lead to?"

"Here," the egg-faced gentleman raised his left hand, "to the ball. And here," he raised his right hand again, "to the candy store. And behind me, Mr. Bear's Home. Go wherever you like, but remember... there's no turning back."

- grass (a type of plant).

Si Anji took a lot of risk before resisting the urge to curse.

Why is it so difficult this time?

The barrage suddenly roared:

"—Go dancing!"

"—No, no, it's time to go to the candy house this time. I didn't bring a messenger this time, so I might be able to run farther."

There are also players who have not watched the live broadcast before, and then they reacted and recognized the source of this conversation:

"—It's the Cheshire Cat."

"—Four Shadows in Wonderland? You mustn't be disgusting with me."

——Ah, kneeling and begging for the real-name system of the barrage.

Four Dark Facet glanced at the barrage blankly, and such an idea popped up in his heart.

This time it was a hell of a start.

He'd been to the dance and the candy store.

There is no doubt that the ball cannot be attended - there are only some huge stone statues dancing inside. They spun back and forth in the middle of the dance floor, and went to the four shadows four times. They didn't even understand what they were going to do, and they were crushed to death by the stone statue.

He could only judge that these stone statues seemed to be chasing him. It's just that their rules are not the same.

Some stone statues are chasing themselves along the shortest distance, some stone statues are aimed at the location they arrived at ten seconds later, some stone statues are at the location they passed by five seconds ago, and some stone statues are not unless they are far enough away from it. If you are close, you will patrol according to a fixed route...

This thing seems to have a unique solution.

But once on the dance floor, there is no safe zone.

Although it was not impossible to solve Si Anke, he was chased by a pile of five or six-meter-high stone statues behind his butt, and his nervous mind was in chaos, and he couldn't move at all—he didn't even know what he was going to do.

What are you trying to find?

Still looking for an exit?

Or spend enough time in there?

are unknown.

Wait for Sister Jiuer to play this.

Auspicious people have their own celestial appearance...

Si An thought in the bottom of his heart.

As for the candy house...that's a trap house after all.

It was also the reason why he wanted to kill the messenger - the way was not chosen by him, but by the messenger.

If he doesn't have a token, then Si Anke can't see this "egg-faced gentleman" at all, and there is only one of the three paths in front of him.

And if you can choose a candy house, the messenger will definitely choose a candy house.

But the so-called "candy house" is simply a trap house.

The entrance hallway is the illusion floor, and some floors are only slightly transparent in color. If you accidentally step on it, you will fall straight to your death.

The first room ahead is the high temperature room.

The keys are hidden in a huge pile of cakes, and the temperature in the room will continue to rise. If you can't find the key, you'll be roasted alive inside.

Next up is the candy slide—a roller coaster-like slide without handrails. If you don't clean your hands in the last level, you will be thrown out and dropped into the cauldron of sugar.

The next level is the biscuit room. That is, the room of death - the ceiling will fall in response to the weight of the room. One person's words will fall halfway, and two people will fall directly to the bottom, but the gate to the next level is 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. A single-plank bridge composed of stick-shaped biscuits that shatter when one is stepped on, plus the hot syrup water cannons constantly spewing out from both sides—

... Anyway, the four dark moments did not pass.

He didn't know what the next level was.

All he knew was that this was definitely a bear child's nightmare...

Adults generally have less ability to play with flowers.

So far, Si Anke has not even seen the "mill".

It's just been here at the fork in the road... that is, the second save point here is crazy and dead.

The only person who has actually seen the mill is the wine.

That time, Jiu'er ended up dying by touching the miller's daughter's toy with a hand that had been soaked in soil.

Incidentally, she died on another occasion after touching a toy with her blood-stained hands.

Yes, she died twice in the same place...

But Si Anke has not forgotten his main mission.

——Try the pit with your life.

So this time, let's choose a place I haven't been before...

"I'm going forward."

The four answered in an instant.

The next moment, the egg-faced gentleman disappeared. Also disappearing are the paths on the left and right.

As if everything before was just an illusion.
