An eerie image unfolds under the drowsy moonlit night, with a girl in a dress carefully climbing down a high ladder while a shadow the size of a human hand floats beside her.

Gu Bin, who had already figured out the garrison area of the mill, was floating in front to lead the way, and the girl followed him quickly, the maze was not far from here, probably because he had also searched this ancient ruin, and Vader did not set up too many defenses and sentinels in this direction of the Panshen labyrinth, which made Gu Bin a little puzzled, did he know the general location of the guerrillas? Or is he confident that the enemy will not attack from this direction?

No matter which one it is, it has provided enough convenience for Gu Bin now, two figures, one large and one small, quickly got out of the camp from the dead corner inside, and here, Gu Bin's speed began to speed up, he must be wary of the "hideous mask", the other party may not think that he will still choose to guide Ophelia according to the original plot during this time period, but these things are inaccurate, so he still needs to be vigilant.

"Labyrinth ......"

Ophelia quickly followed the labyrinth spirit in front of her, and she quickly recognized her destination.

Even if she didn't look back, Gu Bin could guess what kind of expression this girl would have, it must be excited and expectant, this must be the closest she is to the fantasy kingdom she dreams of, elves, labyrinths, forests, these elements must have brought her a great mental impact.

Gu Bin looked at the sky, he seemed to be able to feel that he was in the dream world of some sleeping girl, although his task was very abstract and more difficult to implement, but in terms of the opponent "Mask Hideous", he had a natural advantage.

The main tone of this world, or the ideological tone of the girl Ophelia, is fundamentally biased towards "fantasy", perhaps this is her escape from reality, or it may be the embodiment of some wishes and dreams, but in any case, the "mainstream" of this world is on Gu Bin's side.

The so-called guidance is actually a process of constantly expanding advantages, Gu Bin can't wait to directly get the plot identity of "Pan Shen", and then find Ophelia in the most direct way, telling her: "You can go to the kingdom of your dreams, and you don't have to suffer in this world." ”

Of course, this is pure fantasy, and it is impossible to think of it with your knees.

More than ten minutes later, the girl reappeared in front of Panshen's labyrinth under the guidance of Gu Bin, and the labyrinth carving that was obviously the image of Panshen looked extremely mysterious in the darkness at the moment.

This time, with Gu Bin's current plot identity and tasks, he did not encounter any difficulties from the labyrinth and Pan Shen, and the vines that devoured his first identity that could be substituted for the plot during the day all disappeared at this moment, quietly crawling in the gaps and shadows, without seeing the slightest abnormality.

The girl was quickly taken to the center of the labyrinth, while Gu Bin twisted her body and hid to the side, silently waiting for the main lord to appear.

Ophelia looked around with some fear, the darkness of the place made her a little frightened.

A burly figure spun out from behind the corner, its body slightly clumsy, and its eyes that reflected a peculiar luster like glass balls looked at the girl expectantly.

"It's your ......", as if he had seen the girl for a long time, Pan Shen was pleasantly surprised, he looked at Ophelia like a servant he hadn't seen for many years, Gu Bin saw Pan Shen's hand trembling and raised, as if he wanted to touch the girl's cheeks and hair.

The girl was frightened by Pan's appearance and withdrew a few steps with a scream.

Pan Shen didn't seem to care about this at all, he spread his hands to show that he didn't have the slightest malice, and Gu Bin saw that his fingers were shaking very regularly, which made him look very humble and humble.

The mythical faun pointed to himself and said in an almost flattering tone: "I am Fanon, your humble servant, Your Highness. ”

"Why do you call yourself Fanon?" , Gu Bin did witness this scene again, and Pan Shen said his other name.

However, Ophelia did not know any of this, and all she noticed was the word "Your Highness".

This reminded her of the storybook she had read, which she had just read tonight, and which said that the daughter of Hades, the princess of the underworld, had fallen into the world......

Seeing that Ophelia was a little unresponsive, Pan Shen immediately stepped forward and bowed again: "I am your most humble servant!" Your Highness! ”

"I am your servant in the underworld, and yet you have forgotten me." In a regretful tone, the Faun said: "Please don't doubt yourself, you can go and look at your shoulder, where there is a crescent-shaped birthmark, which is your mark as a princess." ”

Ophelia still seemed a little scared, and Pan Shen was also a little confused, he thought for a while, beckoned, called the other two elves, and let them fly around him: "Look, look, these are elves, and when you return to your real home, you can see them everywhere." ”

The two pale blue elves finally reassured Ophelia, who reached out in surprise to touch the two wonderful creatures.

Pan Shen stepped forward and began to tell Ophelia about her past.

"Your father, let me open doors all over the world." He said, pointing to the huge concentric round stone carving under his feet: "This is the last one, and if you are going back home, you will need to complete three tasks to prove that your nature has not changed." ”

With that, Pan Shen took out a heavy book from somewhere and handed it to the girl.

"This is the Book of Divergent Paths, before the full moon, complete three quests, and it will guide you...... And my elves will help you. ”

"When no one is around, you open it again, and the text will appear on it, just follow it, it's very simple."

"Simple hammer!"

Gu Bin hugged his shoulders and floated to the side, complaining silently, to be honest, he really felt that the three tasks given to Ophelia by Pan Shen were more cheating than the other.

However, although Gu Bin is worried about Ophelia's future, he has no reason or way to stop this from happening, at this moment he really feels that he has become a real plot character from a "player", he can do nothing except make the plot go more smoothly, he is both a participant and a spectator, which makes Gu Bin very helpless and very uncomfortable, but he feels powerless.

Probably, perhaps, it is his best choice to go on according to the established plot, but unconsciously, Gu Bin really doesn't want these characters who must have been tragic to fall into the abyss again and again, they are too vivid, which will make Gu Bin feel lost.

"Let's take it one step at a time."

After all, Gu Bin chose to compromise for the time being, he didn't make any superfluous moves, just floated there quietly, playing the role he should play.

Soon, Pan's guidance to little Loli Ophelia ended, and she waved her hand at the three elves, including Gu Bin, and the four fantastical creatures disappeared around the corner, leaving Ophelia standing in the middle of the labyrinth, with a heavy "Book of Divergent Paths" in her hand, which reminded her that everything that had just happened was real and not a dream.

As Pan Shen came to the dark place, Gu Bin immediately lost the ability to control his body, and immediately after, a system prompt jumped out.

"The plot is progressing in stages, and the balance is currently tilted in favor of the player, and after 14 hours of gameplay, there will be a plot clash between the mill government forces and the guerrillas, and the two players must participate, either way."

"Holy?"

Gu Bin, who had retreated to the state of his soul, scolded loudly, he never thought that the system would make such an arrangement, such a conflict would be 100% unfavorable for him, not to mention that in the normal state of the plot, the government army with his own participation and the guerrillas with the participation of "Mask Hideous" are not at the same level.

Even if the original military strength of the government army can overwhelm the guerrillas, but now Gu Bin does not expect this advantage at all, because it is an advantage, it is just a matter of a few dozen people, and a small-scale conflict may really have the effect of one person turning the tide of the war.

If the system allows players to use their abilities to a certain extent, then Gu Bin still has the possibility of fighting back, but if it is purely physical, then he will have to find another way.

"Due to the phased progress of the story, all participating players will leave the dungeon after 10 seconds, please be prepared."

Gu Bin was kicked out of the "edge" by the system mercilessly, he sat up from the bed, but saw Gu Yisheng sitting at the table next to him, his legs shrunk on the stool, watching a movie there.

Just listening to the music and lines, Gu Bin guessed that she must have watched "Panshen's Labyrinth", and she didn't close the window after watching it before.

"Brother, have you been on this mission?" , Gu Yisheng blinked.

Gu Bin nodded and admitted, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Gu Yisheng, and his fast play buttons were all pressed there, no one would use this way to make up the movie, let alone a film student like Gu Bin, so he could only be reviewing the plot temporarily, and this was most likely to deal with the game copy.

Gu Bin honestly recounted what he had experienced so far, including the bruise on his waist.

"Did you call the people up there?" , Gu Yisheng asked worriedly after checking the severe bruises on Gu Bin's waist.

Gu Bin nodded: "I've beaten it...... They said they would come back to me, and nothing else. "Please remember our web address:,,
