In the silence, "Remnant Soldier" Max's slow applause was a little abrupt.

Then, the strange-looking explorer pointed to Sean, turned his head and said to his two teammates, "Did I say so? This guy... has something."

After speaking, he took out the old cookie jar again and poured a piece directly into Sean's hand.

"Black Death Doctor" Fry stretched his neck, looked at the biscuit in Sean's hand, and said a little sourly: "Okay, the third one tonight - now, he has a better relationship with you than me. "

Ignoring his partner's jealousy, Max whispered, "To be honest, I'm very fortunate to meet you now.

"What just happened has also proved how wise it is to form an alliance with you..."

Saying that, he took out the explorer playing cards and looked at Sean.

Beside the bonfire, Sean stared into the eyes of the remnant soldiers, lost in thought.

When they were most embarrassed, Max's team chose to lend a helping hand.

When the situation was most unfavorable to him, Max chose the greatest degree of trust to allow himself a chance to break the game...

If the person in front of him is not the most worthy explorer at this moment and here, then there may be no one else.

Sean took out his playing cards.

Two Queen cards, on which the spiritual substance touches lightly.

The two captains' playing cards make a connection.

Max took back the playing cards and pointed to his profile. There, the burning "remnant" mask almost merged with his face: "If you hadn't chosen to give up your true face...

"I think I may have taken off my mask by now."

He said a little in a trance: "Unfortunately... I have even forgotten my face."

Sean pointed to Max's mask, "Maybe, this is your face—

"Some people are not wearing masks and have hypocrisy on their faces.

"Some people wear masks..." Sean nodded, "but they are trustworthy."

As if receiving a great compliment, Max, who has always been a little crazy, held the mask with three fingers and bowed respectfully to Sean...

Under the comfort of the spiritual atmosphere, smelling salts, the sound of the piano, chocolate and the bonfire, the group quickly recovered to 80-90%.

They got up and put out the bonfire and continued on towards the woodland in the direction of the castle.

Soon, the thick fog rose again among the trees.

Then, in the dark woods, a little starlight appeared.

When I got closer, I realized that the stars were actually children wearing animal hoods, holding gold-lacquered candlesticks in their hands.

They were scattered among the trees, holding candles silently, the faint flames illuminating the animal heads around their necks, and the pupils of the animals reflected the flames.

"It's those children again..." Yueguang felt a little uneasy.

"Have you seen them?" Foley asked in a low voice.

"They issued the free tickets for the Open Day, why—" Yueguang looked sideways at Doctor Bird's Beak in surprise, "Aren't your tickets from them?"

Foley shook his head: "We bought it through the black market."

Sean, who was walking in front, heard Foley's answer.

This answer once again aroused the doubts that had appeared in his mind before.

What is the purpose of Max's line?

The remnant still didn't say anything, and in order to show respect, Sean didn't continue to ask—

When the time comes, they will naturally explain.

"I don't like these children." In the candlelight, "Shadow" Holly showed her figure, her face was gloomy, "They... are not evil, but they are not like humans."

There were more and more candles between the trees, and they finally came to the second project in the courtyard area.

This was originally a hill, and the inside of the hill seemed to have a natural cave, which was built into a small inner world.

Above the entrance to the cave, there is a circle of warm-colored light bulbs, and in the middle of the light bulb are several words:

"House of Addicts".

Sean frowned: "Addict?

"So..." He looked at the countless animal hoods around him, staring at himself and others, "Are they 'addicts'?

"Children who are addicted to this paradise?"

Sean couldn't help but fall into the association: Are these children from downtown families?

Are the students dozing off in Arya's class here?

At the beginning, was Lyon, who hid his tickets, also one of them?

The answer seems obvious.

"What did Peter Pan seduce these children for?"

While Sean was still thinking, the addicts with candles around them suddenly began to read in unison:

"This place is the home of the addicted. Adults, whose souls are already filthy, can also briefly taste eternal joy here.

In the phantoms of the past, you will see different choices.

After all this, you need to answer:

What is stupid? How to be wise?

What choices can bring pain, and how can joy last forever? "

A little girl wearing a gray rabbit hood and a dress with white dots on a red background walked up to Sean and his group: "Please come with me."

The Max team was led by another addict.

"It seems to be a team-based game." Sean and Max exchanged glances. After the two nodded slightly, Sean led his teammates and followed Gray Rabbit into the hole.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, they were taken into a room, and the "Grey Rabbit" addict said before leaving the room: "The stay ceremony will start in ten minutes, please choose the most suitable one for you in this room. hood—

"Please note that when choosing a headgear, don't choose randomly, you must choose the one that suits you the most."

After closing the door, the lights in the room came on.

Moonlight took a step back in shock at the sight in front of him—

The shelves in the room are filled with the "heads" of various animals, each with empty eyes.

It seems like a room where cruel and superb hunters show their prey.

Father Taylor frowned and walked to the heads. After touching them with his fingers, he turned around and said, "It's just a headgear."

The moon halo looked at everything around him: "We want to choose a headgear to wear?!"

Most of the addicts just wear hoods, and some have animal hoods that are already glued to their necks...

"Would you not be able to take it off when you put it on?!" Moonlight frowned uncomfortably.

Sean patted his partner's shoulder and said in a gentle tone:

"That shouldn't happen."

After experiencing everything in "Joker's House", Sean groped for something: "There is a feature of the game in Midnight Park—

"Although in the game project, players will encounter challenges...

"But players will never be violated outside of the game by following the rules."

That seems to be the bottom line for Midnight Paradise.

It's not that Peter Pan has any high morals, it's just that - if you don't, the game is meaningless.

"So..." Sean said, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "Putting on the headgear just means that, in this way, the next game project,

"We still have troubles to solve in this project,

"But it doesn't mean that if you wear this thing, you will encounter some bad luck immediately..."

Of course, participating in the game is also a low-level helpless move.

The soul is not strong enough to directly ignore the spiritual rules and crush the creator.

So if you want to go to the core step by step, you want to break all this - you can only choose to participate in the game.

These risks are the costs that have to be paid before meeting the "big man".

"Guys, don't think about it.

"We've already come here, and we must enter that castle.

"Start choosing your own headgear."
