Creak...
The thing seemed to have heard the voices of the players. The yellowed cartilage between the bones began to squirm and flow into the bone seams. The spine that almost ran through the entire manor suddenly began to tremble. Without the restraint of the cartilage, the huge... The vertebrae, like a single Rubik's Cube, began to shake back and forth with the tremors.
Scarlet liquid gushes out from the bone seams along with the displacement of the joints. They gather into thick and thin red lines in the air, flowing in all directions with clear purpose. At first glance, they look like complicated blood vessels in the human body, and they look like complicated blood vessels in the human body. It's a few tangled spider webs.
After the red line stabilized, the vertebrae began to rotate. Some vertebrae turned half a turn, and some vertebrae turned one circle. Each vertebra trembled and moved away from its previous position.
After a few seconds, the vertebrae stopped turning.
The scattered red lines in the sky began to move again. They continued to spread, intertwine, merge and separate, and soon formed a new path.
At this moment, the cartilage that had retracted into the bone popped out again, squeezing the root of the red line.
The chopped scarlet liquid instantly surged up and rushed back, pushing and pushing back into the bone seam. However, the cartilage proliferated rapidly at a speed that could be moved by the naked eye, firmly covering the bone seam.
More and more fluid accumulates next to the spine, and eventually they spurt upward in large streams like a fountain, tracing the appearance of stairs in the air.
Until all the accumulated liquid is gone, the proliferated cartilage wriggles back into the bone seams again, and a new round of scarlet liquid gushes out.
"Blood leaks from the stairs at night, so that's why." Yun Chuan glanced at the other two people.
"The secret passage, those blood lines are the location of the secret passage." Mu Chen suddenly spoke, staring unblinkingly at the blood lines spreading in the air.
"We lost contact in the secret passage, and everyone was silently assigned to other places, because those secret passages are active. And they will change direction as the blood line spreads. The secret passage is very dark, We can't see those changes with our eyes, and I prefer that those changes are completed instantly, that is, the teleportation node is the first fixation of the new path of the blood line."
"How are you so sure..." Glasses blurted out.
"All the corners of those blood lines are vertical, and calculating the distance, they are all located in the middle of the floor. Yun Chuan and I were separated from the front and back, and the ribbons connecting our wrists were cut very neatly. Apart from spatial teleportation, I can't think of anything else. Is there any other way for two people to break the ribbon without noticing anything strange?”
"After I separated from Yunchuan, I found that something was not right about the darkness in the secret passage. The range that ordinary light can illuminate is very small. I used lighting props, but those strong lights could only illuminate my eyes when they entered the passage. Fingers, this is also to prevent us from discovering that the secret passage will be changed."
"You... analysis is reasonable." There was a trace of appreciation in the eyes of the glasses.
"Look, your inference can be confirmed in another way." Yun Chuan patted the two of them on the shoulders and motioned them to look between the third and fourth floors.
The red-haired woman held a handful of flames, her hands separated at ninety degrees, and stood quietly in the air.
Under her feet was a blood line bent at a right angle.
"It's Liu Ruoyu!"
"It seems she has also discovered the problem... In one minute, the blood line will change again." Glasses rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch.
Cartilage proliferated, and the blood lines under the woman's body began to flow back together with other blood lines. After a while, they disappeared completely, and they all poured out of the stairs.
"Here we come." The cartilage retracted and the vertebrae trembled. The players held their breaths and looked forward as blood lines emerged again.
A curved blood line once again appeared under Liu Ruoyu's body. As the vertebrae completed their rotation, the blood line began to spread again.
The vertical curve disappeared and was replaced by a straight line of blood.
After a few seconds, the blood line change is completed. At the same time, Liu Ruoyu's hands were empty and he threw himself diagonally to the right.
"The secret passage has indeed changed its direction. Find someone else."
"Can you contact Liu Ruoyu?"
Mu Chen and Glasses spoke at the same time.
"I found no trace of the other three people. Do you have any other contact information?" Yun Chuan raised his eyebrows.
"No, I've already tried what I can." Glasses was a little helpless.
"It doesn't matter, even if we contact her, there is no way for her to find the exit. But... I seem to have found the person who asked for help."
"Where!" The players have not forgotten their purpose.
Yun Chuan stretched out his hand and pointed upward, "Use the card to project that direction. There are many things blocking him in front, so I can't see clearly."
"Okay." The glasses retracted the card that projected the spine, and after some operations, the new image was projected again.
"Here, put it as big as possible." Yunchuan clicked on the upper right corner of the projection.
As the projection screen expands, a man sitting crookedly appears in front of the player.
The man looked very old, probably sixty or seventy years old. He was wearing a simple shirt and a long red chain around his neck, but the chain was not tied to the wall, but stretched into the blood line under his body. Because the distance is too far, the players cannot see the man's face clearly.
"His location does not look like a room on the surface of the manor. This person should be imprisoned in a secret room. Liu Ruoyu said that Ningning heard his cry for help in the Duke's bedroom, and we also heard the cry for help in the secret passage." Glasses. Touching his chin, he raised his head and stretched out his hand to measure the distance, then showed a thoughtful expression.
"The secret passage will move, and we can't be sure where we met. But his current location is nearly two hundred meters away from the Duke's bedroom."
"It means that something can transmit his voice to other places. For example..."
"The bloody thread wrapped around his neck." The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"But now it seems we can't get out, and even if we contact that person, we can't take the next step."
"We can't get out, but Liu Ruoyu can. As long as we can contact Liu Ruoyu with the blood line, we can let her go find that person." Mu Chen licked his dry lips, "The movement of the blood line is not irregular. They should be controlled by those flipped bones. Theoretically, as long as we can control the angle of the vertebrae, we can control the direction of the secret passage.”
"Go and try it." Glasses agreed simply.
Although it sounds ridiculous, how can you know if there is hope if you don't try it.
It's a pity that the two men were as fierce as tigers in one operation, and they took a closer look at the original pestle.
Those walls have only become transparent, not disappeared. Mu Chen and his glasses walked left and right, touching the transparent wall and sneaking around without stepping out.
"Wait a minute." Yun Chuan stopped them.
"The nightingale can lead the way," he reminded. "You can't go back in a month if you go the way you do."
"The nightingale has gone to rest. I can't wake it up. Mu Chen's bird is sleeping even more deeply." Glasses shrugged helplessly. He opened his pocket, and the little bird dumpling buried his head deeply in the feathers.
"Of course the nightingale that passed by has stopped eating, but I still have one." Yunchuan snorted and took out another bird dumpling from his lapel.
The nightingale stared with a pair of big black eyes and tilted her head cutely.
"It's Hong's. I tried to save her after she was dragged away by the vines, but I only managed to save a small thing like this." He hurriedly blocked Glasses' mouth before he could ask questions.
"No... why didn't you take it out earlier? Just let it take Liu Ruoyu to find that man. Or let it take us to find that man." A vein jumped on the glasses forehead and he blurted out.
"No." Mu Chen pressed down his exploded glasses. "First of all, you forgot that we fell together. You, a B-level player, may be able to get up, but the two of us can't. Secondly, it's not certain whether the bird can understand us. Even if it finds Liu Ruoyu, Who can guarantee whether it will I think the trip is over. If it rests on Liu Ruoyu, not only will we not be able to get to the spine, but Liu Ruoyu will have to worry about it. We might as well let it take us to the spine to avoid trying to get water in a bamboo basket. "< br>
"...You studied literature in college?" Glasses held it in for a long time before popping out an irrelevant sentence.
"Thank you for the invitation, from the Academy."
"Okay..." Glasses closed his mouth.
After a few people made gestures to the ignorant bird for a long time, the nightingale began to chirp. After flying several times in the air, it then flew to the opposite position to the spine with a clear target.
"Aren't you a soldier?" Yun Chuan let go of the dumpling bird and slowly approached Mu Chen. He once sent someone to check Mu Chen's information, but it didn't say that he was from several colleges.
"Ahem." Mu Chen coughed in embarrassment, "I'm ashamed to say that I got 127 in the college entrance examination in mathematics. I was so confused that I took the math college entrance examination. I didn't understand college calculus. My head hurt just looking at probability theory. I had no hope for the future, so I dropped out of school in anger. Went to the military academy.”
"..." Yun Chuan rolled his eyes silently.
"You bosses won't understand. Wait a minute, I remember you looted a lot of birds, do you still have them?" Mu Chen gritted his teeth and whispered in his ear.
"Yes, but it's hard to take out the glasses. We are players and cannot cheat."
"Hurry up." The glasses in front of them beckoned them to follow Nightingale.
The three of them followed Nightingale, turning left and right, almost around the entire hall, and finally came to the root of the spine.
The nightingale chirped, fluttered its wings and bumped into Yunchuan's chest, and also fell into a deep sleep mode.
As he got closer, the huge spine and the blood lines extending outward became even more shocking.
Players move forward carefully to avoid hitting any blood lines.
Bang bang…
Every blood line is contracting regularly, just like a heart beating and pulling countless blood vessels.
"Oh my God." Glasses couldn't help but exclaimed. He turned back to look at Mu Chen, "People from the Academy, do we have to control the vertebrae by rotating them?"
