"What do you say, they didn't show up in the underworld?" Su Bai looked at the dark night in surprise.

Styx nodded, "Yes, according to the information we know, after death, the people of the World Axe will neither become evil spirits, nor will their souls enter the underworld, although I don't know what method they used, but they have indeed been freed from the shackles of the underworld in death. ”

"Could it be that the gods have been destroyed?" Su Bai instinctively thought of this third possible caste in addition to those two, but he denied it in an instant, because for anyone, the destruction of the soul is the most terrible consequence, and completely disappearing in this world is something that no one wants to touch, even if it is a world political axe, Su Bai doesn't think they will do it to this extent.

Because it's not just a form of self-sacrifice, it's simply crazy masochism.

No one but a madman would do such a thing.

"Isn't there anything the underworld doing about this situation?" Su Bai couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Styx shook his head, "After all, there are not many members of the World Political Axe, and even if their death is free from the rules of the Underworld, it is not enough to have a bad impact on the balance of the two worlds, so the person in charge of this matter does not seem to plan to intervene directly, but waits and sees...... Of course, I don't know exactly what kind of countermeasures will be taken, because I have not been involved in the actions of this department. ”

I see.

Su Bai's heart suddenly dawned, but in this way, he could also understand why the members of the World Political Axe dared to openly provoke the underworld, probably because they could get rid of the underworld in death, they would be so confident.

"Forget it, the topic of world politics will end here for the time being, no matter what their purpose is, it has nothing to do with our trip, and there will be no change in what we are going to do." Subsequently, Su Bai said.

The two women nodded, and the group of three continued to move towards the depths of the ruins.

Just from the outside, this ruin is already very large, ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to explore it for a year, but from the inside, this is not big enough to describe, it is simply boundless, after walking for nearly three hours, they Zhang Yu was confused by this large and complex terrain.

The position they are in at the moment is a fork in the road, of course, not a three-way intersection or a four-way intersection, there are more than a dozen turns in front of them, there are countless doors on the left and right sides of each turn, open a door, and there are more than a dozen turns inside, you can't imagine where these doors are connected, and where these corners lead.

"Looks like we're in a super troubled labyrinth." Su Bai couldn't help frowning, in such a place, how should they go?

Not only did Su Bai have a headache, but Styx and Xueti were also completely out of ideas.

"Which way should we go?" Immediately, Xueti asked Su Bai.

"Well, let me think about it......" Su Bai suddenly sank, but before he could enter the state of thought, he glared at Xueti fiercely, "Hey, do you mean, has it been decided to push all such troublesome things to me?" ”

Xueti had a natural expression, "Isn't your IQ already max, so of course this kind of thing that requires brains can only be solved by you." And anyway, the reason why we are here is because of you, you are the captain, and we are only your assistants, you can't let us make up ideas at this critical time, right? ”

"Well, that's what I thought too." Styx expressed her opinion at the right time.

"Okay, since you all say so, then I have no choice but to let me go, and then we will ......" Su Bai could only reluctantly take over this important task, and then pointed to the dozen or so roads in front of him and hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Just go ahead and count the seventh road to the left." ”

"That road seems to be seventh from the right...... "Bloody couldn't help but spit out a groan and asked, "Why did you choose this one?" ”

"A man's intuition!" Su Bai said proudly.

Xueti suddenly touched his chin and said dissatisfiedly: "Generally speaking, men's intuition is not very reliable, and this reason is not convincing enough...... Night, what do you think? ”

Styx nodded, "I also feel that a more reasonable explanation is needed." ”

After speaking, the eyes of the two shot towards Su Bai at the same time.

Hey, since you've decided to refute it from the start, don't let me call the shots!

Su Bai was depressed for a while, so he had to make an excuse casually, "Actually, I'm more sensitive to the number seven." ”

"Oh, that's fine." The two women were relieved, and then walked towards the seventh road ahead.

Hey, you're going to accept such a casual excuse?

Su Bai was suddenly powerless to complain, he was very skeptical that these two girls were deliberately playing with themselves. Of course, although his excuse is very casual, the reason why he chose the seventh path is not a random choice, but a combination of countless examples, such as...... The number of days of the week, the Big Dipper, the Seven Primary Colors, the Dragon Ball, the Seven Virtues of Knights, the Seven Heroic Spirits of the Holy Grail War, the Seven Pillars of the Serpent, the Seven Treasures of the Goddess, and even the Seven Fairies of Joy, and the Seven Great Palaces of the Underworld have had extraordinary meanings in countless cases.

Anyway, there are no clues now, so it seems that trying your luck with the number seven is also a good way.

However, this is just a stroke of luck after all, even Su Bai himself knows that the success rate of this method is extremely low, so when half an hour later, the three of them finally walked out of the end of this turning road, and once again came to the beginning of another fork in the road, his head became more and more painful.

"Your instincts are really not accurate." It seemed that Xueti had completely turned into Su Bai's special spit service, and launched a mouth cannon attack on him again.

"It's too early to say this, let's move on to the seventh path."

"Looks like you really have a soft spot for this number."

"Even if it's wrong, it can only be wrong to the end, and there is no clear answer to this multiple-choice question anyway."

"That's just as well."

Then, the three of them set foot on the seventh fork in the road ahead, and then after about a while, as the three of them expected, they saw the scene that was almost exactly replicated, which made the three of them a little suspicious that they were hitting the wall.

"No, we're really moving forward." Su Bai looked around carefully, and said, "I left a little spiritual power aura on that fork in the road before, at least it can be guaranteed that it will not dissipate within an hour, but I didn't feel that aura here, so we are not in the same place." ”

"I see, then shall we go the seventh way?" Styx asked.

"Well, move on." Su Bai gritted his teeth and said, he was already iron-hearted and would not hit the south wall and not look back.

Naturally, it was a long time to rush, and the same fork in the road appeared again and again, but the three of them did not hesitate at all, and chose the seventh fork as always, and finally, until they walked through nine such forks, the scene in front of them finally changed slightly...... Opposite them was no longer the fork in the road, although the fork in the road was not non-existent, but there was a platform with a radius of more than ten meters between them and the fork.

At the same time, just as the eyes of the three of them looked towards the platform, a visible wave in the center of the platform spread out in all directions, and then a red robot seven or eight meters tall appeared in front of the three of them, and made a squeaking sound.

"Patil Matiel?!" Seeing this robot, Styx's eyes immediately lit up and he screamed.

Su Bai suddenly sweated, and said speechlessly: "Although I know that you have recently developed in the direction of mecha control, it is obviously not good or bad, and no matter how you say it, Patil Martiel is just a character in a virtual game, how can it appear in reality." ”

"I don't think so, tsk." Styx had a regretful look on his face.

Su Bai can still understand the excitement and loss of the night, after all, this girl has always been obsessed with the products of the two-dimensional series, whether it is games or anime, it is her interest, and her favorite is undoubtedly the kind of existence that is both cute and powerful. Although the robot of Patil Martil in that game has nothing to do with cuteness in any way, its owner is very in line with the aesthetics of the night, and more coincidentally, both of them are Lori who use giant scythes, which makes the night have a great sense of substitution, and gradually began to develop towards mecha control.

It was Bloody, who was completely confused about the conversation between the two, and asked curiously, "What Patil Matil?" Is it a person? ”

"Sort of." Su Bai didn't bother to explain, so he said a perfunctory sentence casually, and just as Xueti wanted to continue asking, he had already pointed to the huge robot on the opposite platform and said, "Having said that, although this guy appears very villainous, he doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking us." ”

At this time, the attention of the two women finally turned back.

Indeed, although this giant robot was the way of the three of them, it was only standing there.

"Isn't it that it hasn't started yet? Or do you need someone else to take care of it? Styx hurriedly said aloud, staring straight at the robot, not knowing what he was thinking.

Since the other party had no intention of attacking, Su Bai didn't want to make a rash move, after all, in such a mysterious place, everything needs to be careful.

"By the way, those people in the world political axe seem to be very leisurely."

Suddenly, Su Bai said something thoughtlessly.

The two of them immediately cast puzzled glances at him, "Why did you suddenly mention them?" ”

"Hehe, because I probably already understand the point of this robot being here." Su Bai snapped his fingers and said slowly in the curious and surprised eyes of the two, "First of all, the door in this ruin, as a ruin that may have the secrets of the previous world, don't you think it has too many entrances?" Theoretically, it would be enough to have a front gate in each direction, but why do so many side gates exist? Makers wouldn't be bored enough to do such a pointless thing. ”

The two instinctively glanced at each other when they heard this, indeed, from the perspective of the building, there were too many doors in this ruin, not only on the outside, but also on the inside.

"And what do you think it's for?" Bloodty immediately asked.

"It's very simple, if I'm not mistaken, those side doors should be defense mechanisms." Su Bai smiled slightly and explained, "Let's make an assumption again, suppose there is a secret in this ruin, and its owner doesn't want others to know, but he doesn't have the time and strength to stop outsiders from exploring the ruins, or when this ruin is created, he can't manage it for some reason, then he needs to create some caretakers, such as the quicksand whirlpool we encountered outside......"

"You mean, those caregivers are like that?" Styx's heart suddenly moved.

Su Bai nodded, "It may be a little inappropriate to say that the caretaker, but the existence of those side doors will undoubtedly bring considerable trouble to the explorers, let's just talk about the forks in the road we encountered along the way before, there are so many forks in the road and so many side doors, connect the two, the problem is very simple." ”

"Ahh

Hearing him say this, the two girls suddenly became stunned.

The countless forks in the ruins form a labyrinthine terrain, and such a maze may not be a dead end, as long as you take a wrong step, it is very likely to lead to the side door, so that you can leave the ruins naturally, so that it is naturally difficult for explorers to go to the depths of the ruins, and they will not be able to explore the secrets of this ruins.

"Makes sense." The two girls figured this out, and naturally accepted Su Bai's statement, but then asked again, "But what do these have to do with the robots in front of us?" ”

"The members of the World Political Axe that we met before, at first we thought that they had already explored this ruin before coming out, but judging from the situation we encountered, it is obvious that it cannot be like this. Although they have a little more numbers than us, and it's hard to say about their strength, I think I can still crush them in terms of IQ......"

When Su Bai said this, the two girls wanted to complain, what was going on with this inexplicable sense of superiority?

Is there really nothing wrong with being so narcissistic?

Su Bai obviously didn't have such an awareness, but instead had a natural expression, "Even I don't have the slightest clue in this ruin, with their much lower IQ than me, it is obviously impossible to find any useful secrets in this ruin in such a short period of time, so they took the wrong path and went around the side door before we bumped into it." ”

Although your self-selling and boasting just now is very shameless, you are a little too modest in what you say now, and you have found out so many secrets of this ruin in such a short period of time, how can it not be described as "without the slightest clue...... The two women secretly slandered themselves, resisting the urge to complain and continue to listen.

"And we have also seen before, whether it is clothing or demeanor, those guys in the world political axe are very relaxed and normal, and the spiritual power fluctuations are also very calm, obviously they should not have experienced any battles. And with their surnames, there seem to be a few very belligerent guys among them, and if they encounter a robot like this, eighty percent of them will fight a dozen, so that even if they win, it should not be what we see...... Of course, if their strength exceeds a certain level, then my assumption is not valid, but the initial limitations of this relic allow me to rule out this possibility. ”

"Is it the restriction that a strong person above the level of a ghost general can't approach?" Styx asked.

Su Bai nodded, "That's right, the oversized masters have been eliminated in advance, and the strength of those who can come in will not be too perverted, plus the rules that this ruin faintly reveals to us, if we encounter a necessary battle, it should be quite troublesome, so my final conclusion is...... They went the wrong way, but they were safe all the way, and we encountered such a big iron block here, it is clear that we are on the right track, and this robot opposite us is probably the existence of the ruin guardian or something, and if we don't defeat it, we may not be able to enter the inner place. ”

"In other words, we always have to fight with this big piece of iron, but that's strange, since it's a ruin guardian, why hasn't it attacked us all the time?" Bloody asked, puzzled.

"This is going to talk about my other hypothesis, it is not that it does not attack us, but that it is waiting for our attack......" Looking at the widening eyes of the two women, Su Bai explained with a smile, "This is very likely to be a test of the ruins, only by passing the test of the guardian can you be qualified to enter the inner place, otherwise you will go back from where you come from, probably in the setting of this ruin, the guardian will not attack people who dare not accept the test, right......?"

"Wait! Wait a minute! Hearing this, Xueti became more and more confused, and frowned, "Didn't you just say that the owner of this ruin doesn't want outsiders to explore?" But isn't it a contradiction to say that Guardians won't attack easily? Regardless of whether it is strong or weak, killing all the invaders is the most reasonable way. ”

"You're just talking about the premise that you definitely don't want to be explored, but is that really the case?" Su Bai asked rhetorically, and before the two of them could speak, he had already explained, "The moment when the ruins came out, whether or not someone was behind them, it already meant that this ruins needed to be explored, and everything I just said was not completely stopped, it might just be a method of deletion, and no one said that there is still an owner of this ruin?" If so, must its current owner be the one who created it in the first place? ”

"Uh......" Xueti was suddenly speechless, scratching his head in confusion, as if he knew that he couldn't talk about Su Bai, and he stopped talking nonsense, and said directly, "Then you tell us, what should we do now?" ”

"It's very simple, you two just go up and try it."

"Huh?" Xueti suddenly pointed at herself, then at the night, and said in disbelief, "Just the two of us? What about you? ”

Su Bai looked at her like an idiot, and said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm here to watch and give you spiritual support." ”

Night: "......"

Bloodti: "......"
