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 is a novice in the Beyonder domain, she has 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 disappeared. Although he had long been convinced that this door had some kind of magic, Audrey was still shocked by this magic picture.

After calming down a bit, she took out the spirit 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 first gave Susie a solemn look, and then jumped into the door.

Seeing that Audrey had already set off, Susie, who was stopped by a look and planned to explore the path first, 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 dark, compared to the situation where there was no light at all, it was still much better.

Audrey did not 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 going to take a closer look at the surrounding situation, there was a sudden sound behind her, and the girl jumped forward two steps. When she turned around, a dazzling diamond had already appeared beside her.

But the next moment, a familiar voice appeared along with the color of the etheric 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, it 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 made of similar materials.

This place seems to be a corridor, 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 spreads all the way to 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 sewers 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 this 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 still 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 could always blast a passage to the surface.

With this thought in mind, Audrey also became much 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..." Although she was still in high spirits ten minutes ago, after returning to her place for the third time, Audrey understood the gap between her dreams and reality.

The adventure labyrinth in her imagination is all kinds of monsters and treasures, and now, she even keeps getting lost.

"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 tested 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 encounter a little difficulty Just back off?" Audrey instantly kicked away the idea of ​​asking for help, and began to recall the plots of the adventure novels she had read. After a while, she raised her head again and said in a tone of "I was just careless before." —

"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?"
