Chapter 3480: Guiding Puppet
Turning ahead.
Another deep, dark corridor was revealed.
Angel glanced around and found the mirror with the crystal eye tribe's mark next to him. He walked forward to activate the light.
However, before Angel could reach out to touch it.
The wall lamps at the end of the corridor far away from Angel lit up one by one, like a wave of light, rushing towards Angel.
Just like the horror movie scenes in the holographic tablet, the changes in light and dark flashed in the eyes.
And at the end of the intersection of light and dark, a figure walked out.
No, it didn't "walk", but "floated".
At the end of the corridor, a girl with heterochromatic eyes, her long silver hair woven into wings behind her, flapped her wings, and her figure flashed like a phantom.
In just one second, she jumped over a distance of 100 meters and appeared in front of Angel.
"You... move like this?" Angel looked at the person in front of him and asked silently in his mind band.
"Yes, it doesn't take much effort anyway."
Angel: "..." She said before that her location was four or five corridors away from Angel, but he met her when he turned a corner. Now Angel understood that with her "flash" speed, even if she was outside the cemetery, it would take only a few seconds to reach the main tomb.
There was no doubt that the person coming was Laplace.
Angel shook his head and put aside irrelevant thoughts: "You were also teleported alone?"
Laplace put away the silver hair that turned into wings and landed on his toes: "I guess so. But I was teleported with my two maze guards, and they were all teleported ten corridors away from here."
Angel curiously poked his head out and looked behind Laplace: "What about the two of them?"
Laplace: "Maybe they are still there? Maybe they went to the main tomb?"
Hearing Laplace's words, Angel knew that she definitely didn't wait for the maze guards.
However, whether there were maze guards or not was actually not important to them. Yota said that the maze guards were used as guides, but in fact, this guide only played a little role in the "maze" outside.
Once they entered the cemetery, their guiding role was much smaller.
After all, there were a lot of small maps marked by the Crystal Eye Clan in the entire cemetery, and they would not get lost with or without their guidance.
"So what should we choose now?" Angel: "Should we go to the main tomb chamber and meet up with the maze guards first, or go directly to the target location?"
Laplace said directly without any hesitation: "Go to the target location first, get the space props, and then go to the main tomb chamber to meet up and leave."
Why do you look so anxious? Angel was surprised for a moment, but didn't say anything. He nodded and said, "Okay."
After making the decision, the two did not delay any more and went directly to the location of the "hidden space" mentioned by Lu Nuo.
The location of the hidden space, in terms of straight-line distance, is not far from the main tomb chamber, just about a hundred meters below the main tomb chamber.
In the past, Lu Nuo only needed to spread the space fluctuations to be directly teleported to the hidden space.
But now, although the external stability of the sliced relic space is good, the internal space is extremely weak. Once the space ability is used, it may cause holes in the mirror.
The result... is the collapse of the entire mirror.
So, if they want to hide the space, they cannot use the space ability and can only take the normal route.
Regarding the normal route, Lu Nuo's explanation at the beginning was: "I have only walked the normal route a few times. There is no danger on the road. There are just some restrictions. As long as you follow the rules, there will be no traps. Apart from that, it is very, very far."
"You have to go around the outer circle of the ruins and come to a chimeric space. You can walk dozens of miles under the guidance of the guide to reach the final hidden space. I don't know what the previous owner of the ruins thought. It is obviously under the main tomb chamber, but he has to take such a big detour."
At that time, Angle didn't take Lu Nuo's complaints to heart.
After all, it is only a dozen miles, just tens of thousands of steps.
It was not until they actually set foot on this road that they understood why he had such a great resentment towards this road. Even as the successor of the ruins, Lu Nuo had not walked this road many times...
...
The entrance to this road is in an inconspicuous corridor.
As long as you repeatedly enter and exit the entrance of this corridor in a short period of time, and wait for the corridor to move with the nature of the mechanism, a new road will appear the next time you enter the corridor.
This road is the only way to the hidden space.
When Angel and Laplace stepped into this road, Angel found that they seemed to have entered a different space.
This different space, ten meters ahead, is a cliff. Below the cliff is an endless void. Stepping into it will only keep falling.
Even if you can fly, you can't see the exit here, and even if you fly, you don't know where to fly.
However, there are clues here. There is a porcelain-white mechanical puppet in front of the cliff. There is no doubt that this puppet is the guide that Lu Nuo said to guide them to the hidden space.
When Angel approached the mechanical puppet, a word came out of the puppet's mouth.
However, neither Angel nor Laplace understood what the puppet said.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the language of the Ordovician world.
Although I don't understand what the puppet is saying, it doesn't matter. Because according to Lu Nuo's previous statement, the guide will lead them all the way to the hidden space. During this process, the guide will occasionally talk about some profound topics, even tell some unclear stories, and ask some inexplicable questions, but no matter what it says, you don't have to pay attention to it.
Just keep silent.
Lu Nuo said at the time: "Whether I talk to the guide or ignore him from beginning to end, the final result is the same, and I will be sent out of the chimeric space and delivered to the destination."
Lu Nuo thought it was an "easter egg" left by the previous owner of the ruins. Maybe there are some secret places in the chimeric space. As long as you answer some questions of the guide, you can go to these secret places.
But the results show that whether you answer or not, there will be no difference.
The guide will only take them to the hidden space, and there will be no other secrets.
So, facing this mechanical puppet, although you don't understand, it doesn't matter, just keep silent.
As expected, Angel and Laplace did not say anything, and the mechanical puppet did not care. After making some completely incomprehensible remarks, he waved to the void.
A road made of black and white marble appeared at the end of the cliff, winding all the way to the deep void.
After the mechanical puppet stepped on this road, it began to walk forward with big strides. After a few steps, it appeared dozens of meters away, and stopped, looking back at them with its dark eyes, as if waiting for their arrival.
According to Lu Nuo's prompt, they only need to follow the mechanical puppet and eventually they will reach the hidden space; and in this process, they need to observe the movements of the mechanical puppet, and he will prompt the restrictions of the current road.
"Every time he landed, he landed on the black marble bricks, and never landed on the white brick surface." Angel: "You can't step on the white brick surface, it should be the restriction of this section of the road."
Laplace nodded: "Anyway, it's at the starting point, try it and you will know."
If the restriction is triggered, the road under your feet will disappear directly.
For ordinary people, the result is falling into the void; but for them, at most they will fly back to the starting point and start over.
So, even if they are wrong, it’s no big deal.
Laplace went down first and flew directly to the black stone bricks, and then...
The whole road disappeared.
There is no doubt that the ban was triggered the first time...
The mechanical puppet slowly flew to the cliff and smiled at them, as if laughing at their stupidity.
Laplace also flew back and landed in front of Angel.
Seeing Laplace fall, Angel’s expression was obviously a little embarrassed, and he touched his cheek unconsciously: "It’s my fault, my observation was a little wrong, it shouldn’t be related to the black stone bricks."
Laplace was silent for a moment, and shook his head gently: "No, it’s my fault."
Angel: "Ah?"
Laplace: "I just "flew" over. This road should be a no-fly zone."
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Is that so?"
Whether it is as Laplace judged, we will know if we try again.
When Angel approached the mechanical puppet again, the mechanical puppet said something in the Ordovician language that he couldn't understand, and then began to lead the way in front.
It was still the black and white brick road.
The mechanical puppet also jumped to the black brick surface every time as before.
Laplace tried again. This time she didn't fly, but jumped to the black brick surface.
This time, the brick road did not disappear, which also meant that Laplace's thinking was correct: flying was prohibited here, and one could only move forward by jumping.
Angel also followed the black bricks and entered the void.
They jumped forward, and the mechanical puppet continued to lead the way in front. Angel didn't know how long he jumped. Although he was not tired, this way of moving made him feel like a scarecrow... quite uncomfortable.
After a few minutes, when the starting point of the cliff was so far away that it looked like a light spot, the mechanical puppet stopped.
There was no road in front of it.
But the mechanical puppet was not panicked and waved again.
A new road appeared.
This road is a rippling blue waterway, where you can clearly see the glowing water surface and a touch of water color that winds to the end of the darkness.
When the blue waterway appeared, Angel and Laplace's eyes were fixed on the mechanical puppet.
It took them ten minutes to "jump" here, and they didn't want to go back just like that.
The mechanical puppet looked at the rippling waterway, seemed to be quite emotional, muttered a long paragraph of incomprehensible words, and then started on the road.
This time, the mechanical puppet still moved forward by jumping.
Its jumping frequency has obviously become lower.
It will jump once every fifteen seconds.
After careful observation, Angel discovered the jumping pattern of the puppet: "Every time it falls, a circle of ripples will form on the water surface, and it will not jump again until the ripples disappear."
"This should be the new ban."
Laplace also discovered this: "I'll try it."
Laplace jumped and landed on the waterway.
Her body was light, and even if there were ripples, they were very slight and would subside after a few seconds. After subsiding, she jumped again, and this time the distance of the jump was even longer, more than ten meters, and the waterway still did not disappear.
This also meant that Angel's speculation was correct.
This level tests patience and jumping ability... If you can jump farther each time, you will definitely be more efficient in passing this road.
With Angel's physical fitness, it is no problem for him to jump dozens of meters each time.
Even so, it took them nearly twenty minutes to reach the end of the road.
In the process, Angel found that this test was not only about patience, but also... quality. Every time they waited quietly, the mechanical puppet would turn around and talk to them.
No one could understand its words, but they could understand its eyes. In its eyes, there was a message all the time: "Is it okay?", "That's it?", "Forget it?"
Angel wanted to say a few dirty words, but it couldn't understand them, so he had to hold them back.
There is no doubt that this is a big test of the quality of the travelers.
At this point, Angel finally understood why Lu Nuo was always full of resentment when he mentioned this road. This dozen miles of road may not seem far, but each section has fixed rules for walking, and coupled with the mockery and ridicule of the mechanical puppet, it really tests your mentality.
Moreover, once you make a wrong judgment, you have to start over.
This is simply a tormenting road.
Angel glanced at Laplace not far away: "You chose not to wait for the maze guard just now, and you came here so anxiously. Is it because you foresaw this situation?"
Laplace was silent for a moment and shook his head: "No. The God Blood Clone has just awakened and has been urging you to go in and receive the blessing."
Because of special reasons, if the God Blood Clone does not bless, she can't speak.
And the God Blood Clone is a chatterbox.
Not speaking is like taking her life, and keeps urging.
Laplace was in a hurry to hide the space, and then quickly left the ruins and went to the outside world to open Yinsen.
Who knew that this dozen miles of road would be so long.
While they were talking here, the mechanical puppet had waved his hand and opened the third section of the road.
This is an ordinary stone road.
Angel observed the movements of the mechanical puppet and found that it didn't seem to have any special actions. It just walked up like normal.
Except for not running, there was nothing unusual.
Angel told Laplace the results of his observations, and Laplace also didn't find anything special.
"Perhaps, this road is just a normal walk?"
But is it really that simple? Angel couldn't believe it.
If they made a wrong judgment, it would mean that the previous dozens of minutes were wasted and they would have to start all over again...
"Let's try it." Angel finally decided to try it first. He couldn't stay in the same place all the time.
This time, Angel opened the way.
Fortunately, after Angel stepped on it and moved forward slowly, the road did not disappear.
This means that they made the right judgment.
But, then again, can you run on this road?
If you can only walk slowly, it is estimated that it will not be much faster than the water route just now.
Do you want to run and try?
