My different world is game mode

There were footprints on the ground and a scent left in the air.

Lindsay and Kagi each play to their strengths, making it almost impossible to pursue the wrong direction in the garden.

Soon, the two left the banquet hall.

They entered it along the third tunnel from the left.

This road is the same as the previous tunnel, but it leads all the way to a very deep part of the garden. It also passes through numerous forks in the middle, with frequent upward spiral staircases and sloped corridors.

Lindsay and Kaji set foot in it.

During this period, we walked upward frequently, but after trekking for more than an hour, we still could not see the end of the road.

"Where is your current location...?"

Lindsay thought in her mind and silently opened the map.

Based on the analysis of geographical factors, they have been far away from the town of Echo Valley, and have been approaching the true core of the garden.

Muller Nahuen and the other person who entered the garden did not take any detours along the way?

While on the road, Lindsay was thinking about the problem, and a possibility emerged.

[Seed of Garden Management] Give yourself the authority to control the garden once.

There is no doubt - this power is enough to easily kill enemies below the eighth stage.

And Lindsay is now within the garden.

Can he use this seed directly?

Under the premise of absolute safety, kill Muller Nahun immediately?

Lindsay did what she said.

Kaji behind him didn't even notice anything, and a seed quietly appeared in Lindsay's hand.

After trying to activate the seeds, Lindsay smiled and shook her head.

"Sure enough, this matter is not that easy to solve."

The seeds left behind by the Will of the Forest are all normal.

Lindsay can use it now to make large-scale changes to the forest, such as environmental adjustments.

But if we talk about killing someone specifically, this kind of refined operation.

You have to go to the core console of the garden to lock the enemy's identity.

"..."

"You only have one chance, so it's better to be safer."

Lindsay silently took back the [Garden Management Seed].

As they continued to move forward, a special area appeared ahead.

The entire garden is actually an unimaginably large plant, and the tunnels and caves opened in it are used as buildings and living spaces.

What appeared in front of Lindsay and the two at this moment was a huge hole.

To this side of the tunnel, there are railings and guard posts to guard this huge empty space.

"This place must have been quite important in the past, right?"

Kaji, who was behind Lindsay, continued to follow the scent left in the air.

He prepared to go around the encircling corridor of this huge space without stopping.

But Lindsay paused.

His [Puzzle Game] module marked a piece of information on this huge space.

[Reservoir - The garden will collect abundant water resources during the rainy season and store them here to provide people's living needs during the dry season. 】

How could an ordinary reservoir be specially marked by [Puzzle Game]?

There must be something wrong here!

"..."

"Kaji, be careful, something may not be right here!"

Lindsay immediately issued a reminder, and the perceiver who came forward was startled, and his face even turned livid:

"Lord Diavolo, you...what did you find?"

Lindsay pointed to the huge space aside:

"This was a reservoir and now it's dry."

Kaji looked confused:

"The reservoir hasn't been used for a long time. Isn't it normal for it to dry up?"

Lindsay shook her head:

"The rainy season has only entered the forest garden world for more than a month, and it even rained heavily yesterday. When the garden system is operating normally, this reservoir cannot be so dry!"

Lindsay casually took out a steel spear and handed it to Kaji. He stretched out his hand to support the railing, turned over and jumped down:

"Kaji, be careful here, I'll go down and take a look."

Boom——

Lindsay slid along the wall of the reservoir all the way to the bottom.

He tried his best to control the sound when he landed, but even a small movement quickly echoed in this empty environment.

There was an emptiness in the entire reservoir, as if it was echoing the low roar of some kind of ghost.

"..."

Lindsay frowned and took two steps forward.

Without walking too far, he found something the size of a gravel on the ground in front of him. Its color and shadow would change to a certain extent depending on the viewing angle.

"This is……"

Lindsay walked closer and knelt down to check.

The situation was as he expected. There was a faint feeling of moisture at the bottom of the reservoir, and this small amount of changing light and shadow was the clear water left in the pits of the reservoir.

"one day……"

"No, there should have been water flowing here a few hours ago!"

Lindsay stood up and continued exploring.

This suspicious phenomenon indeed triggered the [Puzzle Game] function, and a faint white light appeared on the ground.

Lindsay was about to check when Kaji, who was above him, became restless and shouted to him:

"Lord Diavolo, did you find anything down there?"

"..."

Lindsay didn't say a word, but raised her finger to her lips and shook her head at Kaji.

"Lord Diavolo, did you find anything down there——"

"ah!"

Kaji's echo reached his ears.

Only then did he react and quickly covered his mouth.

The two of them were still tracking the enemy. In this empty garden, making such a loud noise would easily attract others' attention.

That voice just now might be bad!

At the same time, Lindsay accelerated and followed the traces of white light, and soon reached the edge of the bottom of the reservoir.

Here is an aqueduct leading to the distance.

Because it supplies water to the entire garden, this water tank is very large and as wide as an underground sewer in a city.

Even an adult like Lindsay could easily walk into it.

It's just that Lindsay stopped forward and didn't move forward this time.

He opened the map and looked at it. This waterway was connected to the entire garden and was so large that it was difficult to describe.

If you want to survey it, it will definitely be a long-term and large-scale project!

"..."

"Now is not the time to be distracted and do something like this."

Lindsay shook her head slightly, everything was prioritized.

Missing the trail left by Muller Nahun and losing the opponent's position is something that Lindsay absolutely cannot accept.

So even if he knew that there were some dangers in the garden, he would not be able to stop him.

Before leaving, Lindsay squatted on the ground.

He concentrated on the white light that symbolized the disappearance of water.

[Trace of water flow - water flow quickly passes through this tunnel and is rapidly pumped out. 】

"Something's absorbing the moisture in here!"

"Muller Nahun—it can't be him; is that another Awakened One?"

Lindsay climbed back to the edge of the reservoir with an uneasy premonition.

Kaji was a little uneasy because he had just yelled. He didn't even dare to speak when he saw Lindsay coming up.

Lindsay reached out and patted the other party on the shoulder:

"There should have been water in this reservoir an hour ago."

"There should be something inside the garden that is rapidly absorbing water. It's best to pay attention to it next."

Kaji asked cautiously: "Then what should we do now?"

Lindsay pointed forward: "Follow their scent and continue tracking."

"That's what matters now."
