Chapter 68: The First Round of the Series
Logically speaking, the construction site is so empty that there would be nothing blocking our way.
I couldn't help but want to look back, but my cousin reached out and held my head.
But I was still one step faster than my cousin. When I looked back, I was stunned.
What I saw was a maze.
Inside that maze, there are countless mirrors.
This scene seems familiar.
I kept thinking about it in my mind, and then I remembered that I had encountered this situation before when I was at the manor.
Later my cousin told me that it was called the Mirror Palace.
"I've seen it... before." I turned and looked at my cousin.
He nodded.
I looked around again, but there was no sign of Dong Jing.
We have truly entered a hazy world, and here we are basically cut off from the outside world.
"Didn't you say that the formation was broken? How come the formation wasn't broken, and we were dragged into it instead?"
When I realized that I had no way to contact the outside world, I became a little panicked.
Yes, if I was the only one who entered the misty world, perhaps my cousin outside could save me.
This time, I came in with my cousin.
I can sense it, and my cousin can sense it too.
As for what I can't perceive, I don't know whether my cousin can know it.
"This is just the first step in breaking the formation. This person seems to be a master, and the formation is a chain of traps. We have to be careful."
My cousin kept moving forward, and I followed behind him to keep watch on what was behind us.
I smelled a very strange scent of spices in my nostrils.
According to my experience, this should be the taste of fantasy.
Mainly because when I smell this fragrance, my mind generally becomes less clear.
"Keep yourself, don't lose your way because of any scene. If you really can't help it, grab the corner of my clothes."
My cousin seemed to have anticipated this. He didn't even turn his head, just said this and continued walking forward.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but after listening to what my cousin said, I calmed myself down and told myself to stay sober.
After walking less than twenty meters with my cousin, the fragrance disappeared.
Instead, there was this bloody smell.
Suddenly, footsteps appeared behind me, and the footsteps came from far away.
I stopped and didn't move forward.
Just as I was about to turn back, my cousin pulled me to another path in the maze.
Before I could ask what was going on, I saw three or four men covered in blood running past me.
They seemed not to look back and just kept rushing forward.
I was really frightened by the scene in front of me and couldn't help but gasp for breath.
It was because of this action that the three or four men covered in blood suddenly stopped.
My cousin was behind me. He covered my mouth and nose with his hands and kept pulling me back.
He whispered in my ear, "Don't breathe yet, hold it in. The sound of your panting just now was sensed by them."
I was confused and had no idea what my cousin was saying.
When those people stood in front of me and I didn't breathe, I clearly saw that there were no eyeballs in their eye sockets.
what is happening?
So it's normal that they can't see the way forward, and the only way they can find us is through our breathing.
As to whether they rely on the sound of breathing or our breath, I don’t know.
My cousin and I held our breath. The three or four men poked their heads over, but when they didn't see anyone, they ran away again.
When they ran away, they discovered the last man who followed them. He was a bloody corpse!
"You know, when you smell that fragrance, everything here is fake, so don't worry about it. Just escape from everything in this illusion. After we get out of the mirror palace, we can enter the second round of the formation."
I looked at my cousin with horror in my eyes.
Come on, brother, there’s a second round?
How many serial police stations are there?
My cousin probably thought my expression was too funny, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I know what you are thinking, there are usually nine in a chain. Haven't you heard of it? Nine in a chain."
…
I would really thank...
Nine-ring chain?!
The first game is already so overwhelming, how can we make it to the ninth game?
"Although this guy is really powerful, he can't create nine traps. So let's attack one by one and see how capable he is. You don't have to worry, just follow me and you'll be fine. Help me if necessary, we can get out, don't worry."
I don’t know if my cousin was trying to comfort me, but from the look on his face, he didn’t seem as relaxed as he said.
I am now feeling the same regret as before, and if I had known I would not have come with them.
No matter how big the boss is, he will definitely make a lot of money, but he does so at the risk of his life!
Although I say this every time, I still follow them every time. After all, they are my relatives whom I know.
I can't just abandon him knowing there's danger.
Plus, Dong Jing is a girl.
When her cousin was setting up the formation, she was the only one sweeping the house, which was indeed a bit dangerous.
After making sure that the bloody corpses had run far away, my cousin and I returned to the right path.
This turned out to be a maze, and there was no single path that would lead us to the end.
Sure enough, two forks in the road appeared before us.
"What do you think? Should we separate or stay together?" My cousin looked at me with a teasing expression.
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I patiently said to him, "I think it's better for us to be together. After all, we can take care of . What do you think?"
The last time I was in the Mirror Palace, I saw the maze inside through the mirror.
But this time I was actually standing inside the maze, and I had to walk out by myself.
Under such circumstances, it is safer to stick together.
My cousin seemed to have thought of my answer a long time ago. He nodded and said, "Then there are two paths. You can choose one of them. We will follow the path you choose."
I wasn't sure if he was teaching me or if he was afraid of the consequences.
But I think when , I felt unprecedented pressure.
After looking around, I finally chose the road on the left.
At that time, it was just my intuition that drove me to do this. If you really want to know why, it might be because I simply thought that men are on the left and women are on the right.
When my cousin saw that I had made my choice, he nodded. Just as we were about to move forward, we heard the hurried footsteps of the bloody corpses behind us again!
