Chapter 53 The Mysterious Box
Ji Xun said, taking out a piece of paper.
He drew a two-dimensional plane of a maze on it, and then marked a route diagram.
In the past three days, he has walked many times in the maze. In addition to writing down the routes, he has also marked down the activity areas of all the [Secret Keepers] he encountered.
Ji Xun said while drawing: "It has been confirmed that there is a [Secret Keeper] on this road. Once we pass by, we will definitely attract hatred. It will catch up. So we must take the most decisive attitude When running through the corridor, you must not delay or look back."
This is also the biggest danger in the route he planned.
Chu Jiu was already used to Ji Xun's meticulous thinking, so he nodded without any objection: "Yes."
But Nan Jing, who was aside, was already shocked by what he heard.
If I just said that I just heard "Rubik's Cube", I would also exclaim that the idea is surprising.
Now, I have a solid foundation in solving puzzles.
She watched Ji Xun casually draw on the paper, and it was a precise map of the maze route. This skill was no longer something ordinary people could do.
I was wondering why he didn't mark it before, but it turned out that he had completely remembered it in his mind?
Listening to the plan, Nan Jing's eyes widened throughout the whole process. This guy didn't talk until he said it. He took everything into consideration once he said it.
Looking at Ji Xun out of the corner of his eye, he was filled with indescribable admiration.
This guy looks like he has done nothing for three days, but in fact, he has thought of everything perfectly.
Waiting for him to finish speaking, Nan Jing couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mr. Ji Xun, have you memorized the maze completely?"
Ji Xun glanced at her and said modestly, "Almost. "
Nan Jing thought of something and said again: "But, what if, I mean, what if you remember it wrong?"
Ji Xun listened and said meaningfully again laughed.
Remember wrong?
Of course it's impossible.
Only from the perspective of decryption, the current difficulty is not particularly difficult for him.
Even if you don’t have photographic memory, memorizing lines is the basic skill of this type of decryption game.
Hearing Nan Jing's incredible tone, Chujiu felt an inexplicable familiarity in his heart, as if he had seen himself before.
Because she was once in 407, she also asked many similar questions.
But the ending proved that I was worrying too much.
That guy has thought about everything from the beginning.
She already knew what Ji Xun would say, and said directly: "There is no if. There is only one chance."
Ji Xun nodded with a smile and acknowledged: "Yeah."
There is really no if.
If you don't dare to take this risk, you won't be able to leave this maze.
Nang Jing didn’t say much.
Ji Xun gave a final warning: "If we get separated due to some unexpected reasons, then if we leave like this, we should be able to meet again. In case we meet the secret keeper after passing, Just stick to the plan. Remember, don't look at the monsters, otherwise you will be contaminated."
Chu Jiu and Nan Jing nodded slightly: "Yeah"
The three of them said simply. After discussing for a few words, they looked towards the corridor ahead.
After adjusting his breathing, Ji Xun shouted: "Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three figures quickly disappeared on the spot.
Ji Xun's own physical fitness is much stronger, and his sprint speed is faster than the sprinters in his previous life.
And Chujiu was even more powerful. She led Nan Jing, who was physically weaker, with one hand and ran all the way without losing speed.
As Ji Xun expected, they rushed to an intersection, and a terrifying pressure surged out from a certain corner.
Chujiu sensed something and shouted softly: "It's coming!"
Ji Xun has already seen the [Secret Keeper], and this feeling of being separated from the soul is very familiar.
That's the monster.
A normal person would instinctively take a look if they sense something abnormal. Nan Jing originally wanted to turn back instinctively, but when she thought of Ji Xun's previous reminder, she shrank her neck again and ran faster.
The three of them didn't care about anything else and rushed through the passage.
The tidal wave of terror was chasing after him.
The sound of the ghost horse's hooves "clumping" and "clumping" is like a countdown to death, getting faster and faster.
Getting closer.
The icy-cold feeling of terror, as if an evil ghost was blowing air-conditioning on my neck, became increasingly clear.
Ji Xun had already put on a clown mask, his eyes were piercing.
Chujiu also has silver hair and a determined expression.
Among the three of them, only Nan Jing turned pale with fright from the pollution coming from his soul.
Seeing that the three of them were about to be overtaken, they still did not stop and charged forward!
Running, running.
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear.
It was as if they had jumped from one side of the Rubik's Cube to another, running from them into a completely unfamiliar new passage.
Behind him, the monster's aura suddenly disappeared.
"Successful!"
Ji Xun looked at the completely unmarked corridors around him and immediately realized that they had arrived at a brand new corridor.
A few seconds ahead of the calculated time.
At the same time, Qi Di also appeared: "Enter the hidden space, the exploration degree will be increased by +20%, and you will receive additional settlement rewards."
Chujiu also sensed something and reminded: "The monster's breath is gone."< br>
The three of them stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, I saw that the corridor at the end of the maze behind me was moving faintly, like gears in a precision machine, biting and turning.
Magical scene!
Seeing this scene, the three people's eyes froze.
It turns out that the correct way to clear this [Cemetery Maze] is this.
From this moment on, it means that they have truly found the hope of leaving the maze.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Ji Xun caught the broken bones in the passage and whispered, "Has anyone been here?" Very familiar. She picked up the bones on the ground, checked them, and confirmed: "The fracture marks on the skull were not long ago. It looks like it was two or three days ago. The frost spell remains. It should be the Frost Knight of the Governor's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Chujiu also looked puzzled.
I didn’t expect anyone besides them to come here.
Ji Xun frowned slightly, thinking that it was normal for the Governor's Mansion to have a master of solving puzzles.
But think about it carefully, two or three days ago?
Being chased by so many monsters, even if you don’t die, do you still have the mind to solve the puzzle? How?
Ji Xun thought for a while but didn't understand, so he didn't think much about it.
Thinking about the worst, there are an unknown number of enemies, so beware of encountering them.
But think on the bright side, someone has been here, the monsters here have been cleaned up, and the safety factor will be much higher.
The current situation is not necessarily worse than expected.
Of course, Ji Xun felt that the person who entered three days ago might not be still alive now.
Although this new area is different from the previous maze, judging from the content recorded in the adventurer's notebook, the danger is no less than outside.
Moreover, the professional adventurer named "Yuri" didn't leave alive, so it's not that easy to find the exit.
There is no point in thinking too much, the three of them are also trying to find an exit now.
Ji Xun also moved his eyes away from the skull and looked at the surrounding stone walls.
Unlike the previous maze where the rock walls were bare, the corridors here can be seen with patterns outlined by various lines. There are tall humans, monsters with human bodies and animal heads, and various symbols
The sculptor's skills are very high. Although they are just simple lines, they outline stone murals that make people feel as if they are actually there.
Ji Xun looked at the above content, and it seemed to be a record of the life of a king, conquering all directions, blessing the people, killing terrifying monsters, and making mysterious sacrifices
Some of the content seems to be historical facts, and some of the content looks like incredible myths.
Ji Xun walked, watched, and even wrote down some symbols with a pen.
However, as he looked at it, he suddenly saw a symbol that clearly represented a mysterious meaning:.
Not just the moon, Ji Xun saw many mysterious symbols that had appeared on the wall in the tailor street cellar before!
"In other words, the evil ritual in Tailor Street is really directly related to the Gutalun Kingdom?"
Ji Xun looked more and more interested.
The mysterious rituals on the walls seem to point to a more distant ancient secret.
But why does this ritual appear on the murals in the mausoleum and palace?
There are no history books in Innocence City, and Ji Xun doesn't know much about the history of this world.
But after looking at it for a long time, I had no clue.
Chu Jiu and Nan Jing on the side watched him looking at the mural so intently without disturbing him.
The three of them just walked and watched.
But suddenly, there was a strange sound in the corridor.
The three of them all changed their expressions.
The sound of fighting?
Someone is still alive!
Ji Xun’s eyes also turned rapidly.
The sound sounds very far away, but listening to the layered sound of An’s voice echoing, I think it won’t be long before I catch up with him.
Ji Xun shouted urgently: "Let's go!"
The three of them hurriedly ran towards the front.
Not long after, Chujiu also sensed something and said urgently: "It's the [Secret Keeper]!"
As Ji Xun ran, he asked: "How many? "
Chujiu's tone also changed slightly: "Three heads."
But as soon as she finished speaking, after running a few steps, her face suddenly changed: "No, there are monsters in front of us too!"
There are monsters blocking the road in front of us, and there are monsters chasing after us from behind, and it seems that we are bound to hit them.
The situation was suddenly very critical.
Ji Xun is also very surprised. Since there is a [Secret Keeper], it is already the sixth day, and there is still someone who can survive the disaster?
But the current situation is clear. If we continue running, something will happen.
Ji Xun made a decisive choice and said loudly: "Follow the original plan!"
Chu Jiu did not hesitate at all. The moment he heard this, he stretched out his hand and stabbed Nan Jing beside him and fainted again. past.
And she herself immediately closed her eyes, blocked her hearing, and finally said: "Please, please."
They had discussed before that if they met the [Secret Keeper] ] plan.
Only by closing perception can we reduce attracting hatred and curse pollution as much as possible.
Ji Xun didn't dare to delay, he hugged the two of them across the waist, and the three of them fell into a dark corner of the corridor.
The clown mask was instantly put on, and then he started pretending to be dead again.
But this time it’s not one person, but three.
It was because the three of them acted decisively, but after a few breaths, the sound of fighting appeared behind them.
The sound of clashing swords resounded throughout the corridor.
When Ji Xun heard the movement, he felt even more strange: "Is there really a living person?"
Although it sounded like there was only one person, it was still incredible.
How did this guy survive?
He didn’t need to guess too much, he already saw the person in a blink of an eye.
That was a frost knight covered in frost armor. He probably activated some secret method and was very fast. The white and cold magical flames all over his body spilled out a foot, resisting the erosion of the tide of black smoke behind him.
Behind him, three [Secret Keepers] riding skeletal horses were chasing after him.
But judging from this guy's actions, he was at the end of his strength, exhausted, and seriously injured.
But what surprised Ji Xun was nothing else, but that this guy was actually facing the three-headed disaster that was chasing him?
What's going on?
He clearly remembered that the attack method of [Secret Keeper] was a mysterious curse. Those who were attacked would have their souls and flesh and blood drained away.
But right now, this Frost Knight is actually fighting hand to hand?
How did this guy resist that horrible curse pollution?
In the darkness, Ji Xun's eyes were full of curiosity, and his intuition told him that this guy had found some special way to restrain the monster.
He did not dare to guard the secret man. He looked up and down at the Frost Knight and immediately noticed something was wrong.
This knight is holding a giant sword in his left hand, and is actually carrying a black suitcase in his right hand.
Even at such a critical moment, this guy didn't even throw away the box.
What’s in the box?
Why not put it in the storage ring instead of carrying it by hand?
A series of question marks popped up in Ji Xun's mind, but he also understood one thing: the box contained something to restrain the monster's curse!
