Chapter 400 Beach Sand

There is the sound of flowing sand.

Cheng Jie found something wrong after entering the exhibition hall. The five people around him went in different directions, as if they were looking for clues.

But their figures gradually moved away from him and faded. After he called their names, the five people did not respond.

It seems that he was the only one who entered this exhibition hall.

Cheng Jie clicked twice on the virtual screen that popped up on the bracelet, and a silver pistol appeared in his palm.

Silver Wing, this is its name.

Silver Wing is a series with a total of seven different models of guns. This is a gift from Bai Ta to Cheng Jie.

There are still seven hot weapons that suddenly appeared among a group of cold weapons. Bai Ta is quite generous to Cheng Jie.

Cheng Jie is good at using guns. He let a lot of water in the All-Star Game.

If he really wanted to show all his strength, I am afraid the game would have ended long ago.

He held the silver gun in his hand and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Rustle——

It was still the sound of sand sliding down.

The air seemed to be filled with fine sand everywhere. Cheng Jie took out a mask from the cloud space and put it on his face to reduce the sand and dust inhaled into his body.

It was dark all around. Because of the obstruction of the sand and dust, it was useless even if the light of the bracelet was adjusted to the maximum.

There are wax figures here too.

Rustle——

There was an unusual sound behind him. This time it was not the sound of flowing sand, but someone running over the sand.

Cheng Jie reacted quickly. He looked for the source of the sound and chased the "person".

It didn't take much time to walk from the door. But this time Cheng Jie ran back, but he couldn't reach the end.

Either he fell into an illusion, or this space changed.

Both are possible, and Cheng Jie couldn't tell which one it was for the time being.

In order to prevent mistakes, he used a dagger to mark the surrounding objects with a star while running.

The footsteps disappeared halfway. Cheng Jie came to the place where it disappeared and looked up.

This is a huge wax figure, which is shaped like an inclined hourglass. The cone at the bottom has been formed, but the upper part is still a white wax body.

The wax figure in front of me is a semi-finished product. I don’t know what its designer wants to design it to look like.

Cheng Jie put his ear close to the hourglass wax figure and listened carefully.

Yes, the sound of quicksand came from inside.

The flow speed is slow, as if time is sealed in the wax figure.

But he knocked it with his backhand and inserted the dagger into the wax body.

It is solid.

In this case... where does this sand come from?

Cheng Jie observed for a few minutes. This half-finished wax figure suddenly appeared here. It is a puzzle in itself and does not bring more clues.

He pulled the dagger out of the wax body and prepared to make a mark on the base.

The dagger just drew a horizontal line and suddenly stopped.

Cheng Jie stared at the position to the right of the horizontal line and slowly squatted down.

He stretched out two fingers and stroked a certain place on the base a few times. There was a complete five-pointed star mark there.

This star is very distinctive. Except for the first stroke, the horizontal line in the middle is a straight line, and the other lines are arcs.

This is Cheng Jie's habit of drawing stars.

But he remembered clearly that he did not make any marks here on the wax figure.

... What happened?

Could it be that someone imitated his strokes and made a mark here in advance?

But...

Cheng Jie touched the carved mark again.

The wax body that was cut was very smooth around, without any burrs. It was obvious that this mark had existed for a long time and was not an effect that he could make in such a short time.

This was even more strange.

If someone drew the same mark as him while he was not paying attention to confuse him, Cheng Jie's expression would not be so solemn.

But this is an old mark.

Cheng Jie stood up again, his eyes still on the strange mark.

If it was not a maze deliberately set up by someone, it means... he had been to this copy before?

Why didn't he have any impression at all.

Cheng Jie recalled the copies he had experienced in the past, and the wax museum was not among them.

His memory is pretty good among the players, but Brother Xiao said that he was hit by a brick soon after joining Mingque, and that unfortunate experience changed his temperament.

Now thinking about it, his memory before entering Mingque seems to be quite confusing.

Because he is not a person who likes to reminisce, he didn't take it seriously when Xiao Jun told him that he might have lost his memory.

This missing memory... does it include this copy?

But what did he do here at that time? The copy was not cleared... How did he get out safely?

Cheng Jie couldn't figure it out.

The sound of footsteps disappeared strangely, so he had to go somewhere else temporarily.

It seemed that a lot of sand and dust fell on the ground, and the current vision was better than before.

Cheng Jie looked at the wax figures around him.

The wax figures here are a little different, and they are not the same as Cheng Jie has seen in the past.

Only part of them are wax, and the other part is transparent glass.

In the middle of those glasses, golden fine sand was poured.

Like a human-shaped hourglass, it silently records time in this empty exhibition hall.

Cheng Jie bent down and observed a quicksand wax figure of a sleeping woman on a shelf.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from the interpreter, and his brows tightened.

"Dear visitors, what is now presented to you is one of the exhibition halls of this exhibition hall - Seaside Sand. The wax figures in this exhibition hall are added with fine sand, glass and other materials, making the wax figures more vivid and unique. The design elements used by the designer in designing this exhibition hall are hourglasses. Every time the hourglass is inverted, it is zeroed and also a cycle. The universe has no concept of time, but people are always trapped in time."

Time.

Is this the core of this exhibition hall?

After listening to this explanation, Cheng Jie became more dizzy.

It seems to have some hints, but it seems not.

Forget it, let's find out where the exit is first, so that it will be convenient to escape if something goes wrong.

Cheng Jie began to look for the exit.

While he was looking, he looked left and right at the wax figures placed on the shelves and on the ground.

I don't know why...the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

The wax figures were placed on both sides, with a long and narrow carpet in the middle.

The huge unfinished wax figure was just behind Cheng Jie, at the end of the carpet.

As Cheng Jie walked, he found that the wax figures around him were not right.

When he started from the unfinished wax figure, the surrounding wax figures were still relatively rough, only roughly carving out the posture of the human body.

But the further he walked, the more refined these wax figures became.

The patterns of the clothes, the facial features, and even the postures were much more vivid.

Cheng Jie walked three-quarters of the way, and the wax figures around him were already quite realistic.

No matter how elegant their forms were, these wax figures all held swords, spears and other weapons.

As if ready to attack at any time.

Cheng Jie clenched the silver wings in his hands.

He had already smelled the breath of danger in advance.

The two wax figures at the end of the carpet were both dressed as warriors.

They wore pure white masks and looked up at the white tower logo hanging above the exhibition hall.

The logo of the white tower is an abstract pattern on the tower body, which is surrounded by a circle. If you look closely, you will find that the circle is actually a snake eating its own tail.

Cheng Jie looked back and found that the wax figures had raised their heads at some point, as if looking at their gods, looking up, and facing the white logo.

Clearly, they were in different shapes just now.

Cheng Jie frowned even more, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

The exhibition hall was so quiet that even breathing could be heard.

Cheng Jie turned around suddenly, and at the same time, the silver wing in his hand fired two bullets!

In front of him, the two wax figures dressed as soldiers suddenly came to life and raised their weapons to aim at him!
