Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow)

Chapter 208: Boundless Cause and Effect-05

Taking advantage of the time waiting for Su Rong's return, Ji Lu and the eleven people sat together, and under the cover of the woods, began to discuss where the "exit" of this secret realm would be.

"Just like the Taoist said, I think the key clue should be in those two poems."

Baroque picked up a small branch and wrote two lines stroke by stroke on the soft sandy ground.

He is a Ph.D. who studies world art history. He has surprisingly good knowledge of ancient Chinese. He can memorize them verbatim after just listening to them.

"Who is willing to stay in the solitary mountain? Taoists have the Tao and the mountain is not lonely."

At these times, Mo Tiangen has always been actively participating in the discussion, and this time he also took the initiative to express his views.

"According to my experience of reading novels and listening to storytelling, in Zhiguai novels or legendary stories, when those who have the Taoism want to give mortals some hints, they always like to give out a riddle so that people can go. guess."

Teacher Dagen touched his clean shaved chin, and said seriously:

"Do you think this is an anagram? For example, splitting a character, showing a shape, or mentioning a sound."

"Oh?"

Ma Ke heard this and looked at Mo Tiangen, his blue pupils were full of interest, "So, you are an expert?"

As he said, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the two lines on the ground, "Then what kind of anagram is this?"

"Hi, I'm just mentioning a possibility!"

Mo Tiangen shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "If I can guess it, I will tell you the answer right now!"

Marco sighed disappointedly and murmured a French that no one else could understand except Baroque.

"Sure enough, I knew where to find clues so easily!"

"No, I don't think this poem will be a complicated anagram."

Baroque shook his head.

"Have you forgotten? There are several teams in this competition, but they are not Chinese at first sight!"

After hearing the words, Ji Yu gave a low "Oh".

Indeed, out of the ten teams, three of them look like they came from the European fantasy world. One of these teams is a group of wizards who can directly enter the studio of "Harry ○ Special" without makeup. The Faye from "Merlin" or "Dragon Spear", and a group of people simply wore the armor of the middle world, all with thick and messy beards hanging down to their chests.

Ji Xiaoniao even wondered if they could understand Mandarin Chinese, let alone understand and accurately understand ancient poems.

So, if Daochang really gave an anagram to play a word game in the first level, wouldn't it be equivalent to just getting them out of the game? No matter how you think about it, I feel that it is really unfair!

Obviously, everyone also thought of this layer.

"Indeed, if it's an anagram, it's too unfair to some teams."

Fan Hemian's gaze fell on the two lines of Baroque written on the ground, frowned and thought for a moment, then said his own guess:

"If it is for the teams whose native language is not Chinese to be prompted, then, will the keywords be directly hidden in these two lines of poems?"

Baroque turned his head and smiled at Fan's sister, "Yes, I think so too."

Then he picked up the twig again and made a few strokes on the ground.

Everyone saw that the words he pointed out were the three "solitary" characters in "Who is lonely in a lonely mountain? A Taoist is a Taoist and not a lonely mountain."

"What's the meaning?"

The manipulator grabbed his raised head of Moxi and thought for a while, "Could it be that we want us to find something with the word "solitary" in its name?"

Baroque shook his head.

Ji Lu noticed that Baroque, a talented student in art history, has a strong academic temperament. Even if he is already a senior participant who has repeatedly challenged the S-level difficulty, his attitude towards others is still very gentle and polite, and he always speaks very well. Looks like, I can talk to anyone calmly, not at all like Bing Hao's rejection of people thousands of miles away.

"No, it shouldn't be the case."

Baroque looked around the crowd and continued to prompt:

"Think about it carefully, what is the name of the secret realm we are in now?"

"It's called'Wushuang', why?"

Mo Tiangen answered casually.

"Ouch!"

He suddenly yelled, "I understand! I understand!"

Teacher Dagen slapped his thigh and said excitedly:

"Since it is'Wushuang', of course everything is unique, and it must be'lonely'!"

"Yes!"

Fan Luming also understood the meaning of Baroque:

"Since'only one' is the rule of this secret realm, then the exit should be hidden in those things that are in pairs?"

Everyone pondered carefully, and all felt that this guess seems to be the most reliable at the moment without any other hints.

So Bing Sha immediately gave instructions to everyone. After Su Rong came back from investigating the terrain, everyone was divided into four groups and looked for anything that seemed to be "duplicate" in different directions.

"Robot, take things out."

The white-haired young man gave instructions to Moxi to dry his hair.

The manipulator responded, without asking what his captain wanted, he simply opened a hidden compartment on the mechanical box, took out twelve sets of exquisite gadgets from it, and gave everyone a share. set.

Ji Lu took a look and found that it was a hidden earphone that can be completely inserted into the ear canal, a button-shaped microphone pinned to the neckline, and a small machine that looked like a fruit phone half a century ago. .

"This is ‘location tracking anytime, anywhere’."

The manipulator turned to Ji Shu and the others, "Have you used it before? Do you know how to use it?"

Upon hearing the name, Ji Xiaoniao understood.

This is the "Anytime, Anywhere" prop series produced by "Peach Blossom Spring".

Ji Lu and the others have used one of this series of "anytime, anywhere online meetings" in the "SCP Containment Campaign".

It’s just that the props of this series have always been very expensive. The “network meeting” requires 5,000 points to start, and the “location tracking” is as high as 10,000 points. In other words, the stack of robots has already It's a huge sum of money of 120,000 cents!

——Hey, it's so embarrassing!

Ji Yu was speechless in his heart.

——Qinxue Club is indeed worthy of being the largest gang of high-level performers in the entire "Peach Blossom Spring". It is really rich and powerful!

Little Bird, who needs to use his fingers to calculate how his points should be spent every time during the preparation period, even felt a little sour.

"I've already debugged the channel for you in advance, just turn on this button, and then this way, that way..."

The manipulator quickly taught how to use it to Ji Lu, Ren Jianmo, Mo Tiangen, and Fan's sister and brother.

Just as a few people were talking, they suddenly heard a harsh siren.

Everyone fell silent immediately, and listened carefully.

This sound was so familiar to them, it was exactly the beep that they had heard several times when dealing with the steel golem just now.

It's just that this time, the sound source is a little far away, and it's obviously not against them.

After about three minutes, the alarm stopped.

"There should be other teams around here."

Marco frowned and said worriedly:

"A Rong shouldn't she have something out..."

"Shhh!"

Zero rarely spoke actively.

He made a silent gesture to Marco and then pointed to the sky, "She's back."

Sure enough, soon, there was the sound of the flapping of large birds flapping their wings in the sky, and a figure fell from the sky and rolled down in front of everyone.

"Arong!"

Marco, the manipulator, and Baroque cried together:

"You are hurt!?"

Su Rong's appearance at this time can only be described as "worried".

Her long hair tied into a ponytail was scorched for some unknown reason. There was a coin-sized hole in her left wing, and blood was gurgling out, and there was a deep bone scar on her left shoulder, not stopping the blood and flesh. There was also a thick black air covering it, lingering.

Fan Luming pushed the others away and went to check her wound.

"The injury on your shoulder is not an ordinary injury!"

As a prospective doctor and professional dad, he tried to drive the supernatural powers, and then immediately found the problem:

"My ability can heal your skin wounds, but it can't dispel that layer of mist...what exactly did you encounter?"

"Cough, cough!"

Su Rong clutched her chest, coughed twice, and retracted her wings behind her back.

It was just that the wings disappeared but the wound could not heal at the same time. There was a blood hole in the position of her left scapula immediately, the size and depth were the same as before.

"On my return journey, I met the team of people in black robes at the foot of the mountain."

A cold sweat came out on Su Rong's forehead, and she resisted the pain and said:

"The group of people seems to be magical... they besieged me, and I almost couldn't get off."

She looked at the dark mist on her shoulders, and a deep knot was twisted between her eyebrows:

"But at that time an iron golem just appeared, distracting them for me, so I can take the opportunity to escape."

Everyone can figure it out now.

It turns out that the sirens they heard were caused by the black robe magician, and they also took the initiative to attack Su Rong who was alone!

"How long can you heal her injury?"

Bing Hao lowered his face and asked Fan's brother who was using his power to heal Su Rong.

"Both wounds are not serious, just give me two minutes."

Fan Luming replied:

"It's just that the black mist on her shoulders, I can't help it."

"very good."

Bing Ha turned to the crowd, and solemnly ordered:

"After her injury is healed, we divided into four groups according to the original plan, and searched for clues everywhere."

Then, the white-haired young man turned his gaze back to the injured Su Rong, "As for the thing on A Rong's shoulder..."

There was a sneer at the corners of his lips, and he gave a very efficient solution:

"If you encounter those black-robed men again, just catch one and ask what it is and how to eliminate it."
