Su Yun took a few steps forward, and suddenly saw where the light source came from.

It was a long staircase, and the end of the staircase shone with a dim yellow light, like the most modest light of the old light bulb when it was energized, warm and comfortable.

This dim light illuminates the staircase and the walls on either side of the staircase.

Su Yun looked left and right, reaching out and groping as he walked, and he soon touched a wall.

Then he groped his way in the direction he had come, and found a wall that seemed to be a dead end that was completely enclosed, with only one way out of it, and he could not find the way he had come, as if they had come out of the wall.

"Don't touch it, let's go downstairs." Socrates said in the same tone, and with that, he walked step by step downstairs.

Su Yun followed behind Socrates and asked, "Can you tell us what just happened?" ”

"Why did I want to reveal it to you." Socrates said lightly, "Unless you can provide some information that interests me." ”

Su Yun scratched his head, he didn't seem to be able to provide any information that interested Socrates now, so he said, "Can you make an advance?" I promise you that I'll bring you enough interesting information in the future. ”

He reluctantly sacrificed his character, although it was a bit shameless, but this was his only bargaining chip now.

Socrates didn't look back, and said as he went down the stairs: "I don't want to take out this secret to gamble on your future for the time being, because your performance didn't show me that you have anything worth investing in, I have cracked this secret on the fifth day, and you are also on the fifth day, but there is no progress, which shows that you are not capable." ”

"You're so direct." Su Yun said embarrassedly.

Socrates shrugged his shoulders and said: "At least for now, it seems to me that you are just a false sage, and you have no clue at all to solve the puzzle so simple on the second floor, and you still need to sell me a favor to go down to the third floor." ”

Su Yun ignored Socrates' mockery, and just asked calmly, "What's the situation on the third layer?" ”

Socrates said: "It's a labyrinth, anyway, it's all kinds of walls of air, and you'll know when you go down." ”

The three of them came to the third floor.

It was an empty hall, with no furnishings, only a huge lamp in the middle, which illuminated the whole hall.

In the middle of the hall is a staircase that goes down.

Su Yun looked at this hall and said, "It's so simple? ”

With that, he walked straight towards the staircase, but he had barely taken a few steps before he crashed into a wall of air.

Fortunately, he had already heard Socrates talk about the air wall, so he didn't go very fast and didn't hit it too hard.

Socrates ignored Su Yun's attempt, but said directly: "We have to hurry, this is a labyrinth made of walls of air, and the pathways will change at random intervals, and most importantly, the time flow rate in this layer is three times faster than normal!" ”

Su Yun was taken aback, nothing else mattered, what mattered was the speed of time.

Time flows three times faster, which means they have only one-third of the time left to explore.

He did a simple calculation, and with three times the time acceleration, there should be only about an hour left now.

He still has to think about the backtrack.

Su Yun said to Socrates, "Can you kill me?" ”

Socrates seemed to be shocked by Su Yun's question and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I want to die!" Su Yun said calmly, "If you want to be painless, the kind that dies immediately, you can understand that my talent needs to rely on death to trigger, if before the end of this day, I transition to the next day through death, then I will have additional income, if I don't die, but wait until the time is over to naturally transition to the next day, this income will be gone." ”

Socrates suddenly realized, "I see, no wonder you have a piece of glass in your hand, I thought you were going to use it as a weapon." No wonder I saw you cut your wrists that day, it turned out that you were begging for death. ”

Su Yun smiled helplessly and said, "That's true, but I didn't seem to die yesterday, I was saved, I thought you saved me." ”

Socrates said: "Moriarty must have saved you yesterday, not necessarily on the second floor, he could have hid in a corner of the stairwell, watched you fall, and then moved to save you." ”

"But why did he do it?"

Socrates said: "I don't know, but his purpose should be obvious, that is, he doesn't want you to die, and you just said that you have a higher profit from dying than from living, and he probably doesn't want to see you get this kind of gain." ”

Su Yun was surprised to find that Socrates analyzed more thoroughly than his client.

Socrates continued: "I don't know what you mean by the benefits of death, but the way you want to die quickly is actually very simple, I can teach you, it's safe and painless, and you don't need any props. ”

Su Yun smiled and said, "Why does it sound like you're selling people." ”

Socrates also smiled, ignoring his complaints, and said, "In exchange, you have to tell me, what is the benefit of your death?" ”

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, but you have to teach me the quick death method you said first, and then I will tell you." ”

Half a minute later.

Su Yun basically mastered the method that Socrates said.

This is a very simple point-pointing technique, and there are three processes.

The first is to vigorously tap a certain acupuncture point to cause instant death, although the speed is fast, but it needs to be charged to the acupoint, and the force is not enough to cause near-death, not immediate death.

The second is to press some acupoints in a certain order, in turn, you don't need to use too much force, just rub it according to the ordinary strength, the disadvantage is that it is a multi-step operation, and some acupuncture points are relatively hidden, and there may not be so much time in an emergency.

The third method is a slow lethal method, using the designated point technique in advance, if the ** Dao is finished, the effect of this point will slowly take effect in the next half an hour, causing him to die violently two hours later. There are more scenarios where this method is applicable, and Su Yun prefers this method.

After all, there seem to be too many "accidents" in this Bafang Wisdom Game.

According to Socrates, Su Yun tried the third method first, and after doing it, he said slowly to Socrates: "My natural ability is to automatically establish a time node at the beginning of each day, and after death, when I return to the time where this time node is, everything else will be reset except for my memory." ”

After listening to Su Yun's description, the smile on Socrates' face gradually disappeared, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long time, he just said lightly: "I see." ”

Su Yun said: "You look light? There aren't many people who know my true secrets, and you can count them on the palm of your hand, even if you only know them temporarily. ”

Socrates glanced at Su Yun and said meaningfully, "If I guess correctly, you will start the root exploration in the near future." ”

Su Yun was stunned for a moment.

"How do you know? Isn't the root search completely dead before it is passively triggered? Do you think I'm going to die completely? ”

Socrates said: "It is also possible that it is actively triggered. ”

"Then why did I trigger the Root Quest? The survival rate is so low. ”

Socrates looked ahead and said, "I don't know why you took the initiative to trigger, but it is inevitable that you trigger the root exploration, and I can't tell you the specific reason, and you will understand it yourself when the time comes." And don't think that if you don't die, you won't trigger the root search, there are too many things in this world that are more difficult to accept than death. ”

According to Su Yun's understanding, Socrates had participated in the Root Trial, and he was one of the very few people who came back alive from the Root Trial.

Su Yun pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "Can you tell me everything you know, anything about the Root Trial, and everything you can tell me?" For the sake of me, I'm about to go through the root trial that you've been through. ”

Socrates smiled shallowly and said, "It's useless, no matter how much I tell you, the root trial is not what you think at all, you will know when the time comes, not to mention that I also signed a confidentiality agreement with the Ten Thousand Worlds Court." ”

Su Yun nodded and said, "Then will we still explore this labyrinth?" ”

"Of course we have to explore."

"You know I'm about to go back in time, and you're still going to explore?"

Socrates said: "You should also be looking for me to cooperate when you go back to the past, right, then we will explore it now, and you can save some time when you go back next time, which will help us solve this maze as soon as possible and enter the next layer." ”

"Oh, by the way, when the time comes, when you go back, remember to do one thing, and that is to go to my door and knock on my door, first four times, then nine times, then six times, and finally nine more times."

Su Yun read it out: "Four-nine-sixty-nine, what is your password to open the door today?" ”

"That's right, it's a huge time saver."

"This can't save time, you have to kill Tianyu on the second floor to come to this floor with peace of mind, this time you did it."

Socrates said: "No, I have already determined the time to go out for the rest of the day, more than an hour behind me, originally, counting my half-hour puzzle solving time on the second floor, it just happened that my front foot walked his back foot, but if you can tell me in advance where the secret passage to the third floor is, I can save the time to solve the puzzle." ”

"I don't understand, what does this have to do with you not having to kill Tianyu."
