Doomsday Wonderland

When Lin Sanjiu passed through the "hesitation zone", he didn't hesitate at all.

Her eyes were always firmly locked on the gate of the second city wall, and she walked quickly; with every step she took, everything outside her body quickly retreated away. Gradually, only the bewildering palace in front of her and the palace in its belly were left. people.

Now she had one more reason to go in - although she didn't know exactly what this extra reason was.

Are you going to help the puppet master get the regret medicine? Want to get the regret medicine for him? Or should we persuade him not to take the regret medicine?

Before Lin Sanjiu walked into the second city gate, she suddenly felt a slight movement in her heart, as if there were light and thin feathers sweeping over her nerve endings - this feeling came so suddenly that she didn't even have time to step back and turn around. At first glance, I happened to catch two paper cranes flying down from the sky one after another, and fell into the wide "hesitation zone".

Is it the paper crane she sent out just now?

It seemed that they had flown around the Grand Palace of Bewilderment... Because they were too far away, Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear whether the affected paper crane played her "Where are you" sentence? She hesitated for a moment. , but heard the instructor shout: "Be careful!"

Lin Sanjiu was startled and quickly turned her head, only to realize that the step she had taken just now that should have landed in the city gate was about to make her fall into a river - she and her instructor stopped together in a hurry. The second city gate had disappeared, and its back hit the seemingly endless high wall behind it.

"Where does this river come from?" She murmured, "It wasn't there just now..."

Large rough stone bricks were piled up on the ground, and next to her toes was a canal dug manually; on the other side of the river were the ruins of a huge courtyard.

The statue of a virgin holding a water bottle in the pool is now mutilated and blurred, and is full of damage and cracks. There are large clumps of weeds and shrubs growing on the brick joints, pools and land. Dark green vines wrap around the half-broken marble pillars, but they are full of strangely wild and vigorous vitality.

"Should we cross the river now?" the instructor said, "Although the courtyard seems to be in trouble at first glance..."

The old man in the dungeon said that each area of ​​the Grand Palace of Confusion is filled with different "contents" - he called them "play items", and Lin Sanjiu secretly called them dumpling stuffing dungeons - the courtyard on the other side of the river, look at It should be one of the "play items".

The river flows along the outer city wall, barely leaving a gap of about 20 centimeters for one person and one item. When standing in the gap between the wall and the river, their backs can only be pressed tightly against the city wall; they can't even move their feet. Unable to straighten, I could only spread my legs sideways and move sideways step by step, until I reached a stone bridge.

Lin Sanjiu looked down at the green and brown river water and smiled bitterly.

Even though she had just walked in, the thread of her sweater was no longer leading back. Instead, it stretched across the river and disappeared into the depths of the courtyard on the other side of the river. It was as if she was unknowingly. Turned around.

No wonder anyone who comes in is at risk of being trapped here.

Despite what the old man said, the way to leave the Grand Palace of Bewilderment was very simple - just find the way out - as soon as she came in, she didn't even take a step out, the original way was already gone; if it weren't for the sweater thread, , she really didn’t even know how to get out.

Standing on the bridge, Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath.

"Ren-I-teacher-"

A long and powerful shout echoed loudly over the palace, shocking the instructors nearby.

"Bo-xi-mi-ya-"

She listened to her voice spread far away, slowly falling and dissipating in the wind, but it didn't bring any response. This was not surprising; she would be surprised when she could call her friends back with a single shout.

"Okay," Lin Sanjiu muttered, "It's useless if you don't try, just in case."

"Do you want to enter the courtyard now?" the instructor asked rather worriedly.

"I'm here to find someone, and I'm not here to break through the barrier..." Lin Sanjiu looked at the river, rummaged through the card library for a while, and took out a combat cane from the arsenal. It seemed that Sibaan didn't know When was it given to her?

The river is close to the city wall and stretches out to both sides along it with no end at a glance. If she finds a way from this river, maybe she can avoid the "tourism items" and preserve her own strength as much as possible...

"Are you planning to walk out of the river instead of going ashore?" the instructor asked as he watched her stick her stick toward the river.

"It would be best if we could walk around the palace along the river. This river doesn't seem to be one of the attractions." Lin Sanjiu stared at the river and said, "When we find the person, we can follow the sweater The line goes outward. Although I don’t have a boat, if the river can be regarded as a road, we can always find a way, even a raft."

With a light touch, the river rippled regularly. There seemed to be nothing strange under the water, and the cane only got wet.

Maybe it's really possible——

The instructor tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu turned around and asked.

The instructor's eyes were not on her at all. He stared straight at the courtyard with his mouth half open - she followed his gaze and turned her head to look, and was also stunned.

Just for those few seconds when I lowered my head and touched the river water, the courtyard was completely different.

What she had seen before was a ruined wall, but now it was as if time had been turned back in an instant and restored: the stone pillars were growing step by step, the cracks were closing inch by inch, the color of the plaster was gradually restored, the fractures were smoothed again, the collapsed pillars and cracks The flower beds stood up one after another... However, none of these really surprised Lin Sanjiu.

In a giant courtyard, UU reads a book www. uukanshu． net At some point, a group of snow-white statues appeared.

There is a statue of a young man with curly hair, a majestic statue with a mane on his face and half a fish body, and a statue of a female wearing a long skirt with a kettle on her head... Each statue is very tall, and Lin Sanjiu is not even as tall as them. The statue is calf high and you have to look up to see the face of the statue; every statue has the same white eyes on its face, without skin color or pupils.

But that doesn't mean they don't have expressions.

At this time, almost every statue was looking at Lin Sanjiu with its empty eyes; it was as if there were invisible hands carving out bigger and bigger smiles on their faces, and carving out nostrils one by one. , and snow-white, cheerful eyes.

"Very good,"

A high-pitched, joyful voice came out from the mouth of a child-like statue - it was said to be a child statue, but it was as tall as two Lin Sanjiu. If he folded his arms, he could carry her with him. The instructors all gathered into his arms.

"Finally, we have someone to play hide and seek with us!"
