Chapter 16: Labyrinth Paradise (1)
"Welcome to the Necromancy,
The game is being imported, please ...... later
5…… 4…… 3…… 2…… 1……
Game, let's go! ”
Swish!
In the personal space, in the small courtyard of the farmhouse on the clouds, Xia Mu's figure disappeared in an instant.
"Ding Dong!"
"Welcome to the Necromancy, I am your dearest clown."
"This game, Labyrinth Paradise!"
"It's a labyrinth."
"There are a lot of levels in the maze."
"Complete each level and you'll get hints about the maze."
"On your wrists, you all have a watch."
"If the watch clock is reset to zero, and the player has not yet come out of the maze, the player's body will explode."
"Alright, next, please shiver and fear in the labyrinth!"
"Labyrinth?" Xia Mu looked around.
It is a passage ten meters high and three meters wide.
The walls on both sides of the aisle have a smooth surface, without the slightest point of focus and anything to climb.
In front of and behind the aisle, a layer of black mist shrouded it, swarthy, and it was unknown where it led.
"Three hours?" Xia Mu raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.
The watch is very ordinary, just a common electronic watch in the world.
The time on the watch is constantly beating and decreasing, indicating that the timer has already begun.
After checking the watch roughly and not finding anything strange about the watch, Xia Mu walked to the wall and knocked on the wall with his hand.
"The walls are thick and the soundproofing should be good."
Xia Mu frowned slightly, the sound insulation of the wall was very good, indicating that even if a player stood behind the wall and yelled, he would probably not hear anything here.
"Ah!!h
Xia Mu put his hands to his mouth and shouted a few times towards the swarthy aisle.
In the silent aisle, except for the voice shouted by Xia Mu, there was not even an echo!
"It seems that even without the barrier of the wall, this sound will not be far away."
Xia Mu shook his head, if people speak loudly in a small place, there will often be echoes, but in this labyrinth, the sound can't travel far at all.
"You can't use conventional means to break through this labyrinth." Xia Mu's eyes flickered and he walked towards the front of the swarthy aisle.
Now that this maze has shown its weirdness, the best thing to do is to follow its rules, first adapt to it, figure it out, and then, break it!
The black fog is not thick, but just like the night after dusk, adding a hazy feeling to the surrounding scene.
Xia Mu walked lightly, without making a sound in the black fog.
The Joker said that there are levels in the maze, but no one knows what the level is, or whether there will be any dangers besides the level.
In such a hazy fog, as long as you don't make a sound, it's the best way to hide!
However, Xia Mu's brows were still deeply furrowed.
He had been walking in this aisle for more than ten minutes, and there were no turns or intersections on the way, just a straight forward passage.
Although he doesn't walk fast, many years of training as a killer have allowed him to develop some very regular habits.
Every step he took was about half a meter. In these ten minutes, he walked a total of 1,726 steps, or 863 meters.
But nothing was found!
"Huh?" Suddenly, Xia Mu's brows moved slightly.
"Woo woo woo ......"
In the hazy black fog, there seemed to be a faint cry of a child.
"The level of the labyrinth has appeared? Or, are there other dangers that exist in the labyrinth? ”
Xia Mu's eyes flashed slightly, stood on tiptoe, and walked cautiously forward.
A minute later, a little boy who was squatting on the ground and crying with his back to Xia Mu appeared in Xia Mu's sight.
"The aisle is only three meters wide, and the little boy is squatting in the middle, and it is unrealistic to pass through it without disturbing him."
Xia Mu shook his head slightly.
Now he has only two paths, one, whether the little boy is a level in the maze or other dangers that exist in the maze, he must face the past.
Second, turn around and turn back, since there is a little boy in the way of the way, then try to go backwards.
However, if it is the real world, when you encounter danger, you can naturally change directions and avoid the location where the danger is. But this is in the necromantic play space, there is a little boy in front of you, and if you go back, maybe there will be a little girl, and it is useless to dodge.
At present, although it seems that there are two choices, in fact, there is only one.
Xia Mu's eyes flickered, and he first observed whether there was any hidden danger around, and then shouted to the little boy from a distance: "Little friend." ”
The crying of "woo" stopped instantly.
The little boy turned his head, and finger-length earthworms were wriggling around his face.
"Big brother, I'm so lonely, can you play games with me?"
"Ding-dong! Discover the level - a little boy's game, do you accept it? ”
"Is this the level of the labyrinth?" Xia Mu, who had already expected it, nodded expressionlessly, "Accept." ”
Airplanes!
Xia Mu's consciousness flickered slightly, and the whole person appeared in an abandoned house.
"Levels: Hide and Seek for Little Boys."
"Find the little boy in ten minutes.
If you succeed, you will pass the level and get a hint of the maze.
Fail and become a little boy's dinner. ”
"Ten minutes?" Xia Mu raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.
"So, let's get started!"
Xia Mu raised his head and looked at the house.
It is a three-storey villa.
The contents of the house were crooked, the floor was covered with a thick layer of dirt, the chandelier was covered with spider silk, most of the surface of the walls was blown and peeled off, and the gray windows not only could not see the outside view, but not even the human figures.
Xia Mu roughly scanned the hall, then squatted down and searched under the table and sofa, but found no trace of the little boy.
Squeak!
The kitchen door was pushed open, and a foul smell hit my face.
Rusty pots, dusty refrigerators, broken bowls, and cockroaches crawling around all looked even more defeated than in the hall.
Xia Mu stepped forward expressionlessly and opened the refrigerator, there was only a bunch of moldy food in it.
"Not in the fridge." Xia Mu bent down and opened the utility cabinet under the kitchen counter, "There is no cabinet for sundries." ”
Shaking his head, Xia Mu walked out of the kitchen.
Soon, Xia Mu completely searched the first floor, but found nothing.
"Upstairs, it seems." Xia Mu squatted down, grabbed a handful of dust from the ground, and sprinkled it on the staircase leading to the second floor.
The first floor has been inspected and there is no little boy.
The little boy is likely to be on the second or third floor.
In order to prevent the search on the second floor, the little boy took the opportunity to sneak to the first floor where he had already been checked and hidden, so Xia Mu deliberately sprinkled dust on the stairs.
In this way, as long as the little boy runs down, there is a good chance that there will be traces on the steps such as the little boy's footprints.
