"Be careful...... We met in the main house. ”

The trio split up.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Lu Ran came to the entrance of the giant garden labyrinth.

"The labyrinth was built by Madame at great expense, and is made of living plants! Every minute apart, the plants change and change the pattern of the labyrinth.

However, the exit to the main house will not change, and I hope you will be able to cross it smoothly. ”

"Hmm."

Just as Lu Ran was about to step into the closed garden labyrinth, a low voice came from the housekeeper again.

"Explore the most dangerous areas of the labyrinth, and you might find something unexpected."

“…… Well. ”

"Zhu Gong, this housekeeper's words seem to be a little too much, what do you think?"

"Look a! What's so difficult about this kind of labyrinth made by low-level demon caves and ghosts? Don't you know that when my old pig was in a foreign land, he once broke through the maze in the [Void Palace], is the two comparable?

Just follow me! Make sure you get out of the maze in the shortest possible time.'"

"Okay, okay! You lead the way.'"

In the closed garden maze, Lu Ran lifted the pig's head in front of him with his left hand.

I didn't expect Zhu Gong to be really capable, and he could see the 'point' of this garden maze in a short period of time.

Each labyrinth of roads hides a bouquet of colorful flowers.

By changing the color, you can roughly grasp the change rules of the maze, so that you can get stuck in time and continue to walk towards the exit after each cycle.

Naturally, there are many traps set during the maze.

The most troublesome of them are the passages marked by black flowers, which activate a lethal gas once you set foot inside, and are also attacked by a large number of golems.

"Zhu Gong, that's good! It will take about another hour and a half to get out of here. ”

"Hmph...... Joke! A mere garbage maze that can trap me? It is said that back then, the 'king' of a foreign land wanted to trap me, and it took a lot of thought and experience. If it weren't for the old pigs who were a little tired, they would have caught me? ”

was praised by Lu Ran, and Zhu Yan had a feeling of going to heaven.

"Alright, alright...... Know you're awesome. ”

A cycle of labyrinth changes ended, and Lu Ran continued to move forward.

Who knew that the fork in the road in front of him made Lu Ran hesitate...... It's not that you can't tell which way is true, it's that this fork in the road is a little weird.

Since entering the garden labyrinth, I have passed through more than a dozen forks in the road, all of which are crossroads...... At present, it is a three-way street.

Also, it is obvious that the passage marked with a yellow bouquet on the left is the correct way to the exit.

The passage on the right has dangerous black flowers, and there are no corners, so the naked eye can tell that it is a dead end.

"Explore the most dangerous areas of the labyrinth, and you might find something unexpected."

Suddenly, the last words of the puppet butler echoed in Lu Ran's mind.

"Zhu Gong, come in here and take a look."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm...... If it's nothing, let's just quit. ”

As soon as you step into the labyrinth passage marked by the black flower, a deadly layer of fog immediately overflows.

At the same time, a large number of weird puppets crawled in.

The chains waved, the claws tore apart.

Kill all the golems in just one minute.

As for the lethal mist, a large part of it can be resisted by the Hell Windbreaker, and even if the remaining material is inhaled, Lu Ran can easily expel it through the blood.

Standing in front of the dead end, Lu Ran's right eye kept turning, and he always felt that this plant wall was a little strange.

"Lu Ran, stretch out your hand."

"Okay."

Under Zhu Yan's guidance, Lu Ran reached out and pasted the plant wall...... A kind of black dirt energy diffuses, and the wall immediately 'disperses' and disappears.

Obviously, what seems to be a dead-end passage is actually just a trick made up of illusions.

After the phantom was dispelled, a long dark passage full of black plants appeared in front of him.

"This is!?"

There is a feeling that hidden events are about to begin...... However, stepping into this black area was not prompted.

Bang ......Bang

Moreover, there was a slight tremor coming from Lu Ran's left arm, which meant that there was some danger inside.

"Zhu Gong, what do you think?"

"!"

Zhu Yan is still very similar to Lu Ran in this regard.

Both of them, who are both strength types, prefer to fight head-on rather than engage in something imaginary...... In the face of such a dangerous hidden area that is stumbled upon, it will be more interested in the danger.

"Wait a minute, could this be the secret passage of the mansion mentioned in the incident?"

Because it was too dark, Lu Ran took out the torch in the "stomach pouch...... Who knows, the torch is lit and it is discovered that the construction of this hidden corridor is not a black plant at all.

Rather, it is made by twisting multiple fingers together to create a hand flower.

Crunch crunch......

As you walk down the corridor, your fingers squirm slightly and your joints twist.

At the end of the Finger Corridor, a staircase of bones appeared, extending to the underground area.

"You have discovered the Mansion Secret Passage, and the hidden event [True Puppeteer] has been activated.』

Familiar recipes, familiar tastes.

Lu Ran activated the hidden event again.

Although it is true that it has to do with carefulness and boldness...... But the 'luck' component in this cannot be ignored.

I have to say that Lu Ran's luck is really good.

Hidden Event [Real Puppeteer]

Requirements: Decipher the 'puzzle' in the secret passages of the mansion, go to the deepest prison cell, and find the puppeteer.

Reward:???

"Huh!? 【？？？ What the hell is this? ”

Lu Ran also thought that if he encountered the "Ten Ghosts" sealed under the yellow sand again, he would definitely get ordinary relics after killing, and there was a small probability of obtaining high-level relics.

It actually seems different.

"It seems that the variability of the demon cave is not fully recognized even by the hell system.

The request is for me to find the True Puppeteer instead of killing ...... It indirectly shows that this puppeteer does not belong to the category of "hundred ghosts".

Is it possible that the mountain warrior who is similar to the [Aquatic Village] belongs to the remnants of the consciousness of a certain strong man in ancient times.

Anyway, let's go down and have a look. ”

To open this hidden event, Lu Ran was still very excited.

"As for the puppet lady in the main house, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to hand it over to the two of them."

When Lu Ran stepped down the white bone staircase, thousands of fingers immediately descended from behind him, intertwining and superimposing each other, blocking the entrance to the underground area and constructing a kind of enchantment seal.

Almost at the same moment.

In the labyrinth area of the garden, an old woman who was half a withered body and half a puppet rushed to this area as fast as she could.

Aim at the underground entrance blocked by your fingers and attack wildly...... However, all of her attacks were bounced back.

There was a strange sound coming from between the wooden pipes:

"Master...... You're not dead yet! ”

Unable to break the entrance to the underground, the old woman had to leave.

That's right, this woman is the owner of this mansion, the puppet lady [one of the thirty-six murderers].
