Mystery: Paradox Path

Chapter 281 Audrey's First Setback

Accompanied by Bright Diamond, he reached out and pulled open the heavy-looking Devil's Gate again, and the information representing the "trial" entered Audrey's consciousness again. No further information was obtained from it.

Following the cowardice and sympathy shared by believers of Fools, Audrey conducted a divination on whether the door was dangerous, and the rotation direction given by the pendulum transformed by the lie was clockwise, but the rotation was very slow.

Although Audrey was a novice in the Beyonder domain, she had a considerable understanding of basic mysticism such as spirit pendulums, and immediately decided that such a result represented a little danger, but it was slight and acceptable.

"That's right! How can an adventure be without danger? It's only a small danger." Audrey muttered to herself, and then threw a hare to the dark door. The next moment, the rabbit seemed to suddenly It evaporated and disappeared into the room.

Below the Devil's Gate was a solid floor tile, but the rabbit had disappeared. Although he had long been convinced that this gate had some kind of magic, Audrey was still shocked by this magical picture.

After calming down a bit, she took out the pendulum and started divination again. After repeated divination, she confirmed that the rabbit was still alive, still in reality, and not far from her, and it was even possible to return to her by herself. here.

After confirming this again, Audrey finally made up her mind. She solemnly glanced at Susie before jumping into the door.

Seeing that Audrey had already set off, Susie, who was stopped by a look and planned to go ahead again, immediately followed. In an instant, the whole room became quiet again.

...

Audrey, who was protected by a paper avatar, jumped into the entrance, and instantly felt a subtle sense of weightlessness. Then there was a flower in front of her. When she opened her eyes again, she found that her eyes had become pitch black, and only A very slight sound of water echoed in my ears.

Although the room I was in before was also very dim, it was still much better than the situation where there was no light at all.

Audrey didn't rashly take out the hand-cranked light that Emperor Roselle invented, but immediately turned on Spirit Vision. Although the effect was definitely not as good as the light, it was better than safety.

However, just when Audrey was about to take a closer look at the surrounding situation, there was a light noise behind her, and the girl suddenly took two steps forward.

At the same time as she turned back, the dazzling diamonds had already appeared beside her.

But the next moment, a familiar voice appeared along with the color of the etheric body's aura—

"Audrey, it's me!"

"Susie? Oh, you scared me to death!"

Audrey complained in a low voice, and then used her spiritual vision to survey the surrounding environment.

Although it is not impossible to use the vision of bright diamonds, but that will make her senses and body misaligned, just observation is fine, but once she encounters danger, she may not be able to react.

"Look at Audrey, this is the rabbit we threw away before." Although Susie hasn't learned Spirit Vision yet, as a dog, its vision in the dark is much better than that of humans. Audrey Looking at its instructions, I saw a few rabbits lying there, but they were still a lot less than the ones she threw in.

"It looks like the rest have already escaped." Audrey looked around with faintly fluorescent eyes, and soon saw the masonry wall and the ceiling of similar material.

It seems to be a corridor here, about five meters in width and three or four meters in height, but there is a two-meter-wide depression in the middle of the road, which has been spreading towards the distance.

It is worth noting that there is no dual vision state in the ancient pagoda before. Whether it is the naked eye or the stand-in, what you see is the same scene. There are no illusory creations, and some only have real scenes.

When Audrey saw this situation, her expression suddenly became subtle. It seemed that she noticed Audrey's change. Susie, the mind reader, immediately said:

"Audrey, have you found anything?"

"Well, this trial ground should be the sewer of that ancient pagoda..."

Audrey's expression was very tangled. Although the waterway here has been completely dried up because it has not been used for a long time, even if some filth once flowed, it will no longer have any smell, but even so, Audrey is thinking of this. When it is the essence of it, you will still subconsciously want to hold your breath.

It stands to reason that things like "what the sewer looks like" is not something that a noble lady should know, but Audrey just knows it. The eldest young lady had an unsuccessful adventure in her childhood.

"The sewer? Does it need to be so wide?" Susie tilted her dog's head, she didn't understand why such a small ancient pagoda needed such a wide sewer, but Audrey recalled some unbearable past events. Meaningful way:

"This is because the sewers of the castle itself also take on a part of the role of Tibetan soldiers and defense. Many nobles with war experience will build such sewers in castles and mansions. If the exit design is clever enough, it can even be used as a crisis. Time to retreat."

"Well, there are trials." Susie added, and Audrey nodded, "Yes, there are trials."

But now that she knew it was a sewer, Audrey felt a lot more at ease. Although the entrance was bells and whistles, if she wanted to, as long as she bombarded it hard, she would always be able to blast out a passage leading to the surface.

With this thought in mind, Audrey became a lot bolder. Like a hero who was about to enter the labyrinth to fight the Demon King, she waved her arms vigorously—

"Let's go!"

...

"Audrey, we're back again..." Although she was still in high spirits ten minutes ago, after returning to the place for the third time, Audrey understood the gap between dreams and reality.

The adventure maze she imagined was filled with all kinds of monsters and treasures, and now, she was even getting lost all the time.

"This is not mysticism! We didn't even turn a corner! And we have already walked through these three forks, and there is no right way at all!" Audrey pointed at the three marked forks in front of her, and said solemnly , Susie can only tilt her head and say:

"But we did come back."

"But we have already tried all three intersections! Are we looking for Mr. Fool... No! Audrey! You have to cheer up! You are a veteran adventure fan who has read hundreds of adventure novels, how can you meet a little Back off from difficulties?" Audrey kicked away the idea of ​​asking for help instantly, and began to recall the plots of the adventure novels she had read. After a while, she raised her head again, in a tone of "I was just careless before" road--

"This fork should not be a simple labyrinth, but a 'puzzle' of some kind of mysticism. Well, yes, it must be like this. The trial has already begun! It's abominable, I was almost deceived!"

"But Audrey, when we came in, the trial started, right?"

? ?ps: There is a lot of nonsense when writing divination sentences. It is inevitable that there is a suspicion of cheating in the text, so I did not write it in the text. However, in order to avoid a sense of separation, and whether it can really be judged by the pendulum, let’s talk about it here. The divination words used by Delly——

? The first divination statement is "Demon's door is in danger", the result given by the pendulum is a slow clockwise rotation, which means there is a little danger, but it is very slight and acceptable.

? Followed by "the rabbit thrown into the door is still alive", the result given by the pendulum is a smooth clockwise rotation, which means that it is still alive, which is normal.

? Then "the rabbit was sent to another plane", the pendulum quickly turned counterclockwise, indicating that the rabbit was still on the plane.

? Then "the rabbit is very far away from me", the pendulum rotates rapidly counterclockwise, indicating that the rabbit is very close to you.

? Finally, "the rabbit can come back here on its own", the pendulum rotates clockwise, but the speed is extremely slow, which means that although this is possible, the probability is extremely small.
