Chapter 302： maze

Chapter 302 Maze

As the water in the pool changed, Ophelia glanced at it. Instead of translating directly, she glanced at Luo Jun. There was a hint of doubt in her seemingly calm eyes.

“What’s wrong? What’s the problem?”

It was the first time they saw Ophelia's reaction, and everyone else was very curious. All the shocking questions before, and the even more shocking answers, did not move her. This question about the spring asking the night should be... How strange.

After a few seconds of silence, Ophelia asked: "What did you eat for dinner last night?"

Um...what? !

Several others suspected that they heard it wrong, and Jin Fei immediately shouted: "Impossible, did you translate it wrong?"

Ophelia said: "No, these are all commonly used words in ancient Pyramid. There is no way I can make a mistake."

"Indeed..." Zhuge Chi nodded: "What to have for dinner? It's a very daily question. There shouldn't be any uncommon words... I wonder if this is not a literal meaning, but some kind of hint?"

“What hint could last night’s dinner be?” Ottos blinked and looked at Luo Jun: “The woman you slept with last night?”

"Are you crazy? He was on the airship with us last night." Jin Fei said to Ophelia: "I still suspect that the translation is wrong. Take a closer look..."

They were still arguing, but Luo Jun had already stepped forward and replied: "Canned pork, beans, jam and dry bread."

These are the supplies that everyone brought, and they are still in the backpack.

"Hey, don't answer so quickly!" Jin Fei was too late to stop him, and the words reflected in the pool had already begun to change.

"correct answer."

Is this really the problem? !

“Why?!”

“Unfair! You cheated! Say, what method did you use?”

Gourmets and fantasy shooters jumped up and questioned this night, but Luo Jun just shrugged his shoulders.

The secret must not be revealed!

At this point, Ophelia was the only one left to answer the question. The nun stepped forward and put her hand on the stone tablet.

Everyone is a little curious as to what kind of secrets she will discover.

Although she and Mou Ning both gave people a cold impression, everyone could clearly feel the difference between them. Mou Ning gives people a kind of indifference after seeing all the truth. Although he behaves very coldly, his behavior is quite natural when interacting with other people.

But Ophelia is completely different. This mysterious nun sent by the Holy See Headquarters is more like a machine than a person. Her tone of voice does not fluctuate at all. Most of the time, she does not even look at people when she speaks. The body movements are also sparing as much as possible... giving people a strange sense of depression.

What unspeakable problems would such a woman have? Will there be any different reactions when answering?

Everyone is looking forward to it very much.

The water in the pool changed, and a line of ancient Pelami text appeared.

Then...there is no more...

Ophelia didn’t translate it, and they couldn’t understand it either!

Forgot that there is still this problem, of course there is no reason for people to translate questions that embarrass themselves!

Everyone’s eyes are on Ophelia. Even if you don’t translate, you still have to answer. Let’s hear what your answer is!

Ophelia’s red lips parted slightly: “*&%…&￥*%*%（）&）&”

The answer was also in ancient Pyramid!

Subsequently, the water in the pool changed, and a word emerged... They had seen it so many times that they recognized it without translating, and answered correctly...

Damn it... so cunning! Everyone looked at Ophelia angrily...and Ye!

In the dissatisfied eyes of everyone, the building in front of the fountain slowly opened, revealing a passage.

Everyone continued to move forward. After passing the Fountain of Honesty, the huge pyramid seemed not far away, but the road ahead was not very smooth.

After walking a hundred or ten meters, they encountered a T-intersection. They could only go left or right. Everyone chose to go left. After turning two turns, they came to a dead end. In front of them was a statue of a warrior holding a long sword. Just as he was about to walk back, the road behind him was blocked by a moving building, and the statue slowly came to life.

This little monster didn't pose much of a threat to them. After being easily solved, what opened was not the passage in front, but the building behind them that trapped them.

Return to the T-junction and choose the road on the right. This time, it’s good. There are all forks along the way. I tried them one by one. They were either traps or dead ends guarded by monsters. Sometimes I even turned around and returned to a familiar place. , wasting a lot of time.

There is no distinction between day and night here. There is only a huge gem on the top of the central pyramid, which emits dazzling light day and night, just like the sun, causing people's biological clocks to be a little out of whack.

“The second half looks like it’s not far away, but it turns out to be a big maze!” Jin Fei raised his head and looked at the pyramid that seemed very close at hand: “With all the forks in the road, I feel like I’ve gone half a circle around the pyramid.”

"My detection ability can't help." Mou Ning sighed: "It can only extend for a few dozen meters at most, and I can't detect the end of each branch road..."

"If you want to reach the pyramid... you can only go this way." Zhuge Chi was also a little irritated. This lost ruins, Amgila, revealed an irresistible force everywhere. Most people just feel that their movements are restricted, but Zhuge Chi, who is at the highest level, feels it more obviously than others...

This is a kind of oppression, it can even be called an attack!

The longer he stays, the stronger his urge to escape...

"Do you think the previous team did not enter the pyramid, but got lost in this maze?" Ottos asked: "We are wandering around like this, maybe we can encounter them by accident. ”

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Zhuge Chi gritted his teeth and said: "It is also possible that he has encountered a test like the road of bad habits... We still don't know what happened to the missing Rolf and Ma Lei, and the secret of this ruins Too many, I think we haven’t figured it out yet…” ˆ ˆ ˆ “Instead of analyzing it like this, let’s keep it simple.” At this time, Luo Jun stood up and said, “Come with me.”

As he spoke, he walked to the crossroads in front of him, took out a small knife, and threw it into the sky.

The knife bounced on the ground a few times, and finally pointed to the right.

“So casual?” Ottos was stunned.

Jin Fei remembered that Luo Jun had done similar things when he chose the path of bad habits, so he followed him: "We don't have any other way to judge, right?"

Everyone walked along the road on the right, and after turning two corners, they came to a small square with eight-way carousels in all directions.

Places I’ve never seen before!

This is a good sign. Generally speaking, as long as it is not a dead end or turns back to the original place, it means that the progress is moving forward.

However, there was no special test in this square. It was just a fork in the road. Luo Jun walked forward and picked up the knife again.

"This way." Without hesitation, he walked in the direction pointed by the tip of the knife. The others hesitated and could only follow.

Ten more times... Luo Jun thought silently in his heart.

Just before, when everyone was discussing how to get through the maze, a long-lost task prompt finally sounded in Luo Jun's mind.

“Trigger mission: Arrive at the Pyramid”

“Mission Difficulty: 85”

“Severity factor: 12 times”

“Task consumption: five uses”

“Task limit: twelve uses”

“Task time limit: twenty-four hours”

"Whether to accept?"

When this task was triggered, Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, but then he deciphered two pieces of information.

First, the Master is indeed in the pyramid. According to experience, the tasks issued by Dice are all things that are beneficial to him or that he has a strong will for. His strongest wish now is to rescue his master, so guiding him to the pyramid means that his master is indeed there.

Second, Master may not be able to hold on for long.

Twelve times the severity coefficient, generally there are two situations, one is related to the life or death of the host; the other is success or failure will bring serious consequences, such as tens of thousands of lives, or huge disasters, etc...

Thinking from the first point of view, even if the mission fails, with the supplies of a few people, it should be able to last for many days. During this period, the dice will be refreshed every day, and he can always find his way to the pyramid.

So, if he can't reach the pyramid this time, he probably won't die...but Master, that's not necessarily the case.

His team has been missing for many days. If they were lost in the pyramid and injured, the situation may be very bad now.

In previous missions, there was no clear time limit because the events associated with the mission were time-sensitive. For example, if you were to save someone, someone would die if you were too late. Another example is the previous case solving. The fifth elder directly gave the time limit and no additional explanation of the task was needed.

But this time is different. The mission has a clear time limit. This is additional information that if it does not arrive within twenty-four hours, there will be big problems!

And according to Luo Jun's speculation, Master and the others may have mastered a certain secret in the pyramid. If they cannot arrive in time to help them, it may cause a huge disaster!

This is what the twelve times severity factor means!

So, Luo Jun didn't hesitate at all. Every time he reached an intersection, he threw the knife decisively and passed quickly!

Fortunately, there are only two or three forks at most intersections, so it is not difficult to throw it away. Under the protection of double insurance, it is basically a success. Occasionally it fails, and it is just a throw away. There is no need to regret it, and it is lost again. Once is enough.

This kind of indirect judgment of events using methods such as drawing lots or turning a wheel is considered taking advantage of loopholes to a certain extent, but it is not without cost.

Because there will be benefits if you succeed, and there is no cost if you fail, all things considered, the severity coefficient is much lower than directly determining the event, and the experience after success is also greatly reduced...

But it’s better than having to go the wrong way after failure.

After a series of throwing knives to guide the way, everyone finally came to a T-intersection.

Luo Jun looked at the mission description and saw that he had used up all the dice rolls, but the pyramid had not yet arrived...

Looking up at the nearby pyramid, it seems that it is behind the building in front of me, and there is a huge sense of oppression...

Luo Jun estimated that he could reach the pyramid after passing at most three intersections... However, given the nature of the previous maze and without the guidance of dice, if you choose the wrong intersections, you may fall into a very complicated and huge branch.

It's good to go back to a certain place before, and you can go again by relying on memory. What I fear most is getting lost in a brand new maze and not knowing how long it will take to get out.
