Chapter 023: Tribulation
readx;
Such a situation seems to be chaotic and complex, and it seems that it is difficult to know where to start: So, how can we distinguish the true from the false, the false and the real?
In fact, it was not difficult, and it could even be said to be very simple -- just before the whole situation got out of control, or at the moment before the outbreak of war, a person suddenly jumped out of the 'many, a certain article', and immediately pounced on the huge three-dimensional cylindrical mirror not far ahead.
Bang !!
In an instant, the mirror surface was smashed to pieces, and it scattered and splashed like flying flowers and jade. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the same time, the 'mirror children's shoes' that it gave birth to also disappeared with the fragmentation of the 'mother', as if they had never appeared, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
So all the vanity was self-defeating, leaving only a real text and a real Xiaoqing, and after crossing this catastrophe, he continued to move forward.
"But then again," while walking Xiaoqing, he still discussed with a certain article unsatisfactorily: "Although it is said to be 'crossing the catastrophe', it is indeed quite simple, and it can be easily destroyed, and I don't know what the meaning of its existence is?"
"Cheating time. β
A certain Wen sneered and replied almost without thinking.
"Cheating on time?"
What time to cheat?
Xiao Jing was stunned again.
β......β
A certain wen turned his head to look at the little cute girl next to him, who didn't learn or knew how to 'ask questions without shame', and couldn't help but sigh secretly. While taking out the 'Soul Suppression Tinder' from his arms and handing it to her, he couldn't help but sneer at the game system setting: "Well, it's a limited time again... Although it seems that the time limit is quite sufficient, but God knows how many obstacles that brain-dead author has put in the middle of this?"
"This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is: it is completely in the heart of what comes to mind, and at the same time adds something to the story, so the 'calamities' we need to face in the future are more and more and more unpredictable, even if you arrest that guy now and beat him up and ask him what the follow-up plot is, it is basically useless: because it doesn't know - it's all temporary, and you add something to it when you think of it. β
"That's the most depressing part!"
"And yes, and yes, like the 'calamity' of the square: if we are indecisive or indecisive. Or maybe it's stupid. If you are confused and unable to extricate yourself, then there will be more time to delay than that... Although such a 'catastrophe' may not be able to kill people fundamentally, if there are a few more similar tricks, the total delay should not be underestimated. β
"And the success or failure of a big thing. It is often made up of countless little things that accumulate together. The same is true of time. Therefore, to sum up, you must not underestimate these 'calamities' like sesame mung beans during the journey. They seem simple (of course, it also depends on the intelligence of each person, in case you can't pull it out), but in fact, it is very easy to delay time. β
"So far, though, we've been pretty good: at least we're able to decipher it quickly. β
"Otherwise, don't say an hour, it's ten days and a half months, maybe you can't even guess the mantra to open the door, then it's called a 'cup' + 'tableware'. β
"Oh......"
Looking at the 'soul suppression fire' in his hand, which kept jumping for seconds, Xiao Jing felt that what a certain article said still sounded quite reasonable... After thinking about it, I felt that if I was really delayed by such a trivial 'calamity' and finally missed a major event, wouldn't it be a loss...... So like a hot potato, he hurriedly returned the weird 'soul suppression fire' to a certain text, and then turned his head and ran away, shouting while running: "Hurry up, hurry up, let's make up for the lost time~"
β......β
This girl is just a child!
Looking at the back of the little cute girl who was gradually moving away, a certain text couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and after a moment of stunned, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, shook his head, and put the 'soul suppression fire' back into his arms, and then strode after him like a gust of wind: given the degree of brain damage of the author, he didn't dare to guarantee that there was any unknown danger ahead.
... Luckily, there really isn't.
After a short walk, the road came to an end, leaving only a long staircase leading to the unknown side overhead.
At this time, Xiao Jing had long since disappeared, and only heard a burst of hurried footsteps overhead, like a fire burning his buttocks, climbing up quickly......
Alas, alas, how can I stand you!
Silently complaining in his heart, a certain article still stiffened, strode and ran forward, and chased after him very well for the sake of the current affairs: he didn't want to cause Xiao Jing, who was alone to pretend to be the 'first marcher', to have any mistakes because of his own negligence.
Running, running, running, running, I don't know how many steps I climbed, I only know that all the way is crooked, and after about a meal, I finally went up to the top floor.
Belch.
It's a family with four walls!
In the imagination of a certain article, the so-called 'top floor', no matter how you say it, should also be a place where you can see the vast starry sky, breathe free air, be able to get free from the 'hell', and get in touch with the 'outside world', but who knows that it is still a narrow and closed space, and there is nothing.
It's like you're in a dead end.
Alas!
How so?
Looking at the little cute girl in front of her who was inexplicably spinning around like an ant on a hot pot, for some reason, a certain article suddenly had an extremely bad premonition......
Sonorous!
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a sudden sound under his feet, and before he could turn back, he found that the only and meager light source at the entrance was suddenly cut off, and the whole world suddenly became pitch black.
"Yikes!"
Xiao Jing, who didn't know what to do, screamed in fright when she was frightened by the sudden mutation, but before the fear she had hidden in her heart had time to spread like a flood. A certain Wen had taken out the 'Soul Suppression Flame' from his bosom on the spot.
Although it is just a very faint and small light source like a night pearl, in this dark environment where you can't see your fingers, it's better than nothing~
Well......
Due to its size, the light emitted by the 'Soul Suppression Tinder' is indeed very faint, but the actual effect is much better than imagined in a certain article: at least its existence makes the surrounding area have a faint light that ordinary people can see.
"Xiaowen ......"
It wasn't until this time that the little cute girl who had been immersed in looking for the 'secret exit' seemed to have suddenly discovered a certain text, and hurriedly approached: "What's the matter?"
β... I guess it's because the retreat is closed. β
A certain article glanced at the stupid, anxious little cute girl who found nothing, and sighed silently. Quietly shifted the 'Soul Suppression Tinder' in his hand to a position closer to the entrance. By the way, he bowed slightly: "Look." β
"Huh?"
Xiao Jing leaned over curiously, and while squatting down to study it carefully, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, really! It's like locking the 'Ah Zi Cat' downstairs before." We have now cut off the way out. I'm locked in this enclosed space!"
"Who did it?"
β... Who else?"
"It's the brain-dead author. β
Of course, you can imagine that the game is set up this way. β
"This will make more sense~"
β......β
I see!
Xiao Jing finally understood. At the same time, there is nothing to be done.
Well, though. Even so, you can't just sit back and wait!
Why don't you observe your surroundings first and find out about the 'enemy situation'?
As the saying goes: only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated!
So after a brief consultation, the two of them held the candle ('Soul Suppression Tinder'), which had less than an hour of life, and carefully 'inspected' the narrow and enclosed space from the lower left corner.
This place, judging from the first impression of a certain article, should be an ancient, square room with a length and width of three zhang away, although it can't be said to be dirty, messy and bad (after all, it's empty, there's nothing, and if you want to be dirty, it's dirty... But it looks mottled and dilapidated, and because of its age, it looks particularly weathered... Maybe it's because of the high position, but it's not damp, and even the moss is woody.
What kind of incredible mysteries are hidden in such a place?
I can't figure it out for a certain article.
...... In fact, he didn't need to think about it at all: for soon they found a slender, graceful, and beautifully crafted court lampstand in the lower left corner.
It is not a good idea to say that it is a 'lampstand', because on top of it is an ancient stone mirror with its back of about 60Β° facing the sky.
Well?
What the?
'Stone Mirror'?
Are you sure it's not a crystal or copper mirror?
However, a certain article really took a closer look at this: it is indeed made of stone.
And it is not the kind of glittering mirror made of marble, but together with the 'lampstand', it is all made of coarse grinding stoneβa fake.
... The reason for this is that they do not have the function of the object itself: do you think that the 'stone mirror' was placed on the 'lampstand'? No, they are actually connected!
It's like a stone sculpture there......
β......β
This kind of conclusion made a certain Wen very speechless, but before he could fully accept this fact, at this moment, the 'Soul Suppression Tinder' in his hand, which was now very close to the stone mirror, suddenly lit up, and then, he saw that the stone mirror that was so unpretentious before, almost completely unable to see any abnormality, was also quietly brightened, and the outline of the 'Soul Suppression Tinder' was vaguely outlined in it.
Hey?
It's amazing......
Such a change surprised a certain Wen and Xiaoqing, but this is not the limit, and the next change was even more unexpected by the two of them - the mirror part of the stone mirror seemed to be lit up, quickly forming a bright light source, refracting... Or rather, it emits a cluster of crystal clear light, reflecting on the zenith of this corner of the stone chamber!
... Subconsciously, a certain Wen and Xiao Jing invariably followed the direction pointed by the cluster of light, and looked up at the ceiling of the stone room: they found that in the haze, in that place, there seemed to be a strange magic circle similar to a painted painting temize...... (To be continued.) )
