Chapter 601 Pentagram

The secondary personality's dagger slashed out instantly, cutting off the man's head. The head fell to the ground and shattered like a piece of soil.

The strange footsteps outside the door continued. The sound was like someone was not wearing shoes, and from time to time there would be the sound of nails rubbing against the wall. This man and woman seemed to be some kind of mechanism. Before she screamed, everything was normal here.

The secondary personality quietly poked his head out and saw a bloody humanoid monster approaching him. The monster was about two meters tall, with a big mouth, and his chin could even drag on the floor. His mouth was full of sharp teeth and a tentacle-like tongue.

The secondary personality was not a person who would sit and wait for death. He walked out, grabbed the dagger in his right hand, and rushed out. The monster roared and swung the tentacle-like tongue in its mouth, instantly crossing the distance of several meters between the two.

The secondary personality dodged sideways and slashed with the dagger at the same time, cutting it in half.

A section of the tongue fell to the ground and was still jumping, and the monster also made a piercing scream.

The secondary personality: "It has average combat power, so it should be able to handle it."

The monster's tongue still has a circle of dense serrations. If it is stabbed by the tongue, it will probably become the man's appearance, with its entire head eaten out.

The monster's only weapon is its tongue, so the secondary personality can deal with it easily. Although it only uses its body to fight, its combat power cannot be underestimated.

The monster whose tongue was cut off lost its weapon, just like a lion without teeth. The secondary personality treated it as a monkey. After a few cuts, its legs were cut off and it could only kneel on the ground.

Ye Tingbai: "It doesn't look like a pollutant."

The secondary personality: "It may be a simple monster. There is nothing special. I killed it directly!"

As he said that, the secondary personality wiped the monster's neck, and at the moment the monster died, the lights came on, and everything here returned to normal. The blood on the wall disappeared, and the monster's body on the ground was also gone.

The secondary personality went back to the door of the room and took a look. The body in the wall was still there, but the two people who appeared later also disappeared, and there was a five-pointed star emblem on the tea table in the center of the room.

The secondary personality picked up the five-pointed star emblem and took a look at it. It was made of metal, but it was unclear what kind of metal it was. It was very heavy, probably some kind of hard alloy.

Does this look like some kind of reward they got for defeating the monster?

According to this rule, it means that there may be a monster switch in each room here. As long as they find this switch, they can meet the monster, and finally agree to collect the five-pointed star from the monster, and then go to the upper level.

However, this is all Ye Tingbai's random guesses, and he doesn't know if it is right or not. They can only follow this idea.

In the second room, the two touched around again. The wall in this room was also thickened, but not as obvious as the previous one, but the secondary personality still tried to dig it open. This time, a cat doll appeared after the wall was dug open.

After the doll was dug out, the corridor outside fell into darkness again. The familiar secondary personality came out again. As expected by the two, a huge black cat appeared in the corridor this time. The black cat was agile and did not lose to the secondary personality. Moreover, the monster's claws were extremely sharp, leaving several wounds on the secondary personality's shoulder.

Secondary personality: "It's a bit difficult, fortunately I brought some daggers."

In another confrontation, the secondary personality threw two daggers in succession, and the black cat found that the secondary personality had no weapons after dodging the daggers, so it pounced directly, but suddenly a dagger was inserted into its head. The secondary personality actually used the impact of the two daggers and the hardness of the wall to make the dagger kill back.

The cat corpse fell to the ground, and the lights came on again. Everything was the same as last time. A new five-pointed star appeared in the tea room, and now he had two.

At the moment when the secondary personality picked up the five-pointed star, he returned to the door of the club, back to the moment when they just entered here, everything was restored, the door of the tea room was closed, and the wall was restored.

The only thing that was not restored was the secondary personality's body and physical strength.

Ye Tingbai: "What went wrong?

Could it be that the five-pointed star emblem cannot be touched?"

The secondary personality: "Not sure, if it can't be touched, it's only the second one, the first one has been touched without any problem."

Ye Tingbai: "Then it can only be the order, if it's the order, there is no hint at all?

Listen to the recording again."

Ye Tingbai controlled his body and turned on the recorder. As he expected, the recording time became longer again.

Recording: "You are lucky. You chose the right first room. Everything here is connected. Think about what Mother Time said to you.

Only by finding the right order can you open the way to the upper level. The clue is right in front of you.

Squeak, squeak, beep

Unfortunately, you didn't listen to the recording, and you also chose the wrong second room. I can emphasize that as long as you choose the wrong rule and start over, your physical strength is not unlimited.

This is only the first floor. You still have a chance to try. Before entering the third floor, find out the rules. You can't afford the price of starting over."

After listening to the recording, Ye Tingbai put the recorder back. He sat cross-legged in the hall and thought. First of all, he must pay attention to this recording. Every increase in the recording is to convey new information to him.

And the new content cannot cover the previous content, so this recording will continue to grow.

One wrong step, everything will start over, and their bodies cannot be repaired infinitely. Without the bonus of divine power, their bodies are probably at the limit of human beings, that is, the pure physical state of the eighth level.

In this state, it is almost impossible for the body to recover from wounds by itself. They will waste some physical strength if they start over again.

They did not start over in the first room, which means that the first room is correct. There are a total of eight rooms on this floor, two rows in parallel, four rooms in each row. If they try blindly according to the arrangement and combination, if they are unlucky, they will have to try six times to find the right way.

Ye Tingbai: "The clue is right in front of me, what is in front of me?"

The secondary personality: "Try again. If I try again, I will need to consume too much physical strength. It is not as difficult as I imagined. We know too little information now."

The secondary personality returned to the first tea room again. This time he just inserted the dagger into the wall, and the two men pushed the door open and walked in. The secondary personality cut their necks before they could react.

The same monster appeared again. This time, the secondary personality figured out his fighting pattern and killed it in just five seconds. Just like before, the five-pointed star appeared again.

Ye Tingbai: "The hint is right in front of me?

Could it be this five-pointed star?

There is nothing on this five-pointed star. How can it be regarded as a hint?"

Secondary personality: "Is it the location? Can eight rooms be called a five-pointed star? It seems that it can be forced to achieve it, two on the left and two on the right, but the vertex of the five-pointed star is gone."

Ye Tingbai: "Don't worry about the vertex for now. If it is a five-pointed star, it is the third room."

The secondary personality put away the badge and came to the third tea room. The same way as before, it was also to find the object buried in the wall. This time it was a Japanese samurai doll.

The power of this samurai doll is good, but the moves are still far behind the secondary personality. The secondary personality stabbed its heart with three or two knives.

When the secondary personality picked up the five-pointed star emblem this time, they were not reset, which means the order was correct. The secondary personality came to the corridor and prepared to try the room on the right side. After all, according to the rules of the five-pointed star, the two on the left and the two on the right must be connected, plus the end of the corridor.

But when they went out and looked, there was an extra staircase at the end of the corridor.

This made the two of them confused. There were eight rooms, but they only needed to open two to go to the upper floor. This seemed a bit too simple?

Secondary personality: "The recording has become longer again, this time only ten seconds."

Recording: "You guessed right, but the direction you thought of is slightly off. You will have to start over again when you go upstairs. The choice is yours. Remember to understand the rules before entering the third floor."

Ye Tingbai: "Does this recording mean that I should not go to the second floor?"

Secondary personality: "It's a matter of trial and error cost. Perhaps the higher you go, the greater the cost of choosing the wrong room. The monsters on this floor are of average strength, and they don't even have the ability of this weapon."

Ye Tingbai: "Do you mean to continue trying here?"

The secondary personality nodded, turned around and walked into the room opposite. According to his guess, the third room on the right is also a node of the five-pointed star. After entering the room and taking a look around, he found that the two sides are completely mirrored, even the monsters in the wall are the same.

Afterwards, after the secondary personality solved the monsters in the wall, the five-pointed star appeared again, and this time when he picked up the five-pointed star, they were reset again. The reset had no side effects, just throwing him back to the door, but the monster needed to be beaten again.

This time, the secondary personality chose the first room on the right. The monster was still the same monster, but there were no two annoying lovers. After the long-tongued monster was killed, the secondary personality picked up the pentagram again. Surprisingly, the game did not reset, and the first room on the right was also correct.

Then the secondary personality tried the third room on the right, and the result was equally surprising. The stairs at the end of the corridor appeared again, which means that there are two ways to open the door here.

Ye Tingbai: "Could it be that we thought wrong?

It has nothing to do with the pentagram?"

The secondary personality: "If we thought wrong, the recording should not say that, but this does not explain why only two points are needed to open the door."

The two tried again and found that there are more than two ways to open the door. Left one right three or right one left three can open it, but left one right one, left three right three This method does not work and is considered wrong.

In other words, only two nodes are really needed here, and the pentagram is not needed.

Finally, there was no other way, and the secondary personality could only embark on the road to the second floor. The second floor was not as bright as the first floor. The atmosphere was a bit dark, but the layout was basically the same as the first floor.

Secondary personality: "Ten rooms, five on each side. The extra room should be the living room. Which one should we go to?"

According to the recording, if they reset on the third floor, they can't afford the price, which means that this monster is getting stronger layer by layer.

Ye Tingbai: "Listen to the recording."

The recording is still only ten seconds longer this time, which is a bit disappointing, indicating that there is no special information.

Recording: "You must remember the information I said, Mother of Time!"

Ye Tingbai scratched his hair. Mother of Time only said a few words, most of which were about the description of the monster, which had been watching time and space since it appeared.

Ye Tingbai had seen the time ability. Every time there was an error, it would reset. If time can be checked, then the space ability must be reflected. If the disaster is really the outer god that Mother of Time said.

Ye Tingbai: "Space, space?

Space"

Ye Tingbai had been thinking about the word "space" in a trough. Suddenly, a spark flashed, and Ye Tingbai thought of something. They were not wrong, but they just took things for granted.

Ye Tingbai: "Why should the five-pointed star be placed horizontally?

Why can't it be upright?

The two feet of the five-pointed star are the positions of the first and third rooms!"

The secondary personality: "It makes sense. You can give it a try. If you calculate it this way, the two rooms at the end are the nodes of the second floor!"

After finding the problem, the secondary personality went straight to the room at the end of the corridor. The room was pitch black. With a little light in the corridor, they could see that the room was full of pottery jars.

There was a lot of mud on the pottery jars, as if they had just been dug out of the ground not long ago. As soon as the secondary personality entered the door, the pottery jars were collectively broken, and a large number of centipedes emerged. These centipedes were thicker than thumbs and nearly half a meter long. Looking at the cold worm teeth, if they were bitten by this thing, they would be seriously injured.

The secondary personality swung out a dagger, and the tentacles on the handle of the dagger pierced into his wrist. Then the dagger danced with the power of the tentacles. The dagger was so fast that it left an afterimage. In a few swishes, it chopped up all the centipedes around.

Rather than risking being bitten to clean up the centipedes, it is better to use the dagger directly. Although the wrist will be pierced, it is only a matter of time. Even if it is not used on the second floor, what about the upper floors?

After all the centipedes were cleaned up, a five-pointed star appeared in the room again. This time, the five-pointed star changed its appearance, becoming more delicate and heavier.

The secondary personality picked up the five-pointed star, and the familiar feeling came again. He was thrown back to the first floor, which means they made a mistake.

Ye Tingbai: "Why is it wrong?

There is no other possibility!"

Subpersonality: "There is another way. It is not just the five corners as nodes, but also the five concave points. If the concave points are counted, the second floor should be the room in the middle.

Try it again and you will know."

A normal person would only think of the five corners as nodes, and no one would think of the five concave points of the five-pointed star. If the concave points are also counted, their workload would instantly double.

And the apex of the five-pointed star would rise to five layers, not three layers as imagined.
