The place was covered with petals, a red one, reminding Lan Shuying of the forgotten flowers on the banks of the Netherworld.

As soon as she stepped on it, the juice of the flower stuck to the soles of her feet, which made her unhappy.

The female officer followed her and whispered to her that the soles of her feet should not come into contact with the earth, otherwise they would be considered unclean and defile the divinity.

Maybe this level is a test of carefulness? Lan Shuying suddenly had this strange idea, because she saw a girl with a big grin stepping straight on this carpet of petals, but she was removed for accidentally putting her toe between the petals.

The poor little guy stared at the black mark on his toe, and suddenly burst into a cry.

A dozen other candidates looked at her, and she was quickly carried away by a semi-forceful person, after which they never saw her again.

This is the first one to be out.

Her role is to remind these children: watch your step!

Lan Shuying silently looked at the village opposite the petals - the straight-line distance to the street sign at the entrance of the village was about twenty meters, and even Dorjee's three-legged cat light skill could easily leap over, but she didn't want to be so ostentatious, so she walked to the side of the street sign step by step.

From beginning to end, there is only calm, and there is nothing to speak of.

"I love the look in her eyes." The bearded man groaned.

The short man looked eagerly at her, and thought to himself, if you had seen the horse training in the morning, you would have loved her to death, it was a child favored by the goddess!

A carpet of petals stretches from the entrance of the village to the easternmost black house, and the thin layer of petals is long enough for two people to walk side by side.

The girls consciously lined up in pairs.

It just so happened that next to Lan Shuying was the youngest four-year-old girl, with a pair of big fawn-like eyes that were watery and innocent. She put her finger on the golden bell at the corner of Lan Shuying's clothes, and said softly, "Sister, let's go together." ”

"Hmm."

Before entering the black room, Lan Shuying took one more look at the chic bag on her waist, and the little girl immediately took out a berry from the bag, the skin was very clean, and there was a string of water beads hanging from it, as if it had just been washed.

She smiled sweetly: "Sister, give it to you." ”

Lan Shuying took it and sniffed it lightly, and said, "It's very fragrant, but I'm full, I'll taste it later." ”

The little girl was a little lost, nodded and stopped talking.

The formation of the pairs changed after entering the room.

They were all told the rules, such as not destroying the items, not screaming, and most importantly, finding the exit before the hourglass countdown ended.

"It's a very rudimentary labyrinth," Lan Shuying thought to herself, "if it survives, maybe future generations will call it the prototype of a modern haunted house." ”

The door creaked shut behind them, and the white candle stretched a long shadow, some of the girls themselves, some of them ...... The so-called props hanging from the beams of the house are wrapped in a fishy smell, and it is impossible to tell which animal the material is made of.

In the chilling silence, some girls couldn't help but be afraid and began to sob.

"It's a test of courage." The little girl was the first to speak, half of her little face hidden in the shadows, and her left eye was surprisingly bright.

Lan Shuying was curious: "Who told you?" ”

She blinked as if she was defenseless, and said in that soft, harmless voice, "Maggie said! She's my sister. ”

It turned out to be the incarnation of the goddess who had just stepped down, and Lan Shuying knew it.

Maggie's luck was not good, her menarche came too early, and she was forced to abdicate due to bloodshed a month before she was ten years old, which is the reason why all the candidates, including Lan Shuying, were sent to the Holy Capital.

In fact, there is also an incarnation of a goddess in the temple, whose real name has been forgotten and only used as a pronoun by Deguna, because she has been reigning for a long time. This woman, who had never had menarche, sat on the throne for a long time, silent, and will continue to be silent.

Whoever the temple greets next has nothing to do with her.

The little girl always followed Lan Shuying, and no one called her, so one of the candidates glanced at Lan Shuying sourly and sneered: "Even if you know more, you can't have the last laugh, hillbilly." ”

Admittedly, Agatha was born in the poorest and most remote part of the Empire, and she was no match for anyone present in her family life.

"Sister, let's go." The little girl tugged at her golden bell again.

The hourglass is outside the house, and no one can see its flow speed, and it is precisely because it cannot be seen that the invisible hourglass in the heart runs more quickly.

The girls quickly moved into action and disappeared into different passages.

A low-voiced exclamation came from time to time.

Lan Shuying smiled slightly, opened the ghost pupil, and the nearby props were presented one by one.

There are strange wooden totems, dolls cut from leather, and bloodstained bronze objects...... The fresh bull's head glared angrily, and if someone wasn't careful when walking, some interesting little mechanism might pop out of the petals on the ground......

"Do you know the road?" Lan Shuying asked the little girl.

The other party nodded seriously and whispered, "Maggie told me." ”

Under her guidance, the two walked through the narrow passage, this dark room was indeed big enough, the voices gradually faded away, and when they reached the eighth bend, the little girl might be thirsty, she felt out the berries and stuffed them into her mouth, and asked Lan Shuying why she didn't eat them.

"Because ......" Lan Shuying's hand silently pressed her neck, the girl had eaten very well just now, and she had just swallowed a mouthful, but judging from the touch from her fingertips, she was probably only swallowing saliva.

"I don't want to be poisoned."

The other hand grabbed the little girl's wrist tightly and squeezed it down!

In the darkness, a colored snake only the thickness of a little finger was strangled and writhed with difficulty, and after a few breaths, it could no longer move.

The little girl realized something, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she could not accept the fact and cried out: "You kill it, you kill it!" ”

The planks overhead were lifted.

Sunlight shone into the two-square-meter room, revealing two girls who were almost clinging to each other, as well as the corpse of the snake.

One of the guards looked at the little girl's features, turned around and said in a loud voice, "Edith of the Gramo family, disqualified!" ”

The guard looked at Lan Shuying, especially the Quinna snake in her hand, and after a moment of strangeness, he said, "Miss Agatha of Keka Village, please continue, you still have 40 minutes to find the exit." Also, let go of Miss Edith, she is no longer a candidate. ”

"No problem."

Lan Shuying obediently dropped the snake corpse and loosened the restraint on the little girl.

She put the gift she had received next to the snake corpse and said lightly, "Next time you want to invite me to eat berries, remember to inject the venom into it, then maybe I will be fooled." ”
