Chapter 74 Darkmoon Circus (Part 2)
Gu Yi opened his eyes, looked at his shoes, and said depressedly:
"How could such bad luck happen? I should have known not to wear shoes with laces."
Gu Yi looked at the door in front of him, feeling very excited.
——The Darkmoon Circus gave him too many clues!
First, the eye patch in Gu Yi's hand is the ticket to the circus, and the person who bought it is his sister. As long as he passes the test of the circus and obtains the "Dark Moon Prize Ticket", he can basically guess what reward his sister will get from the circus.
Second, speculation about the rules.
There are only two places in the entire dungeon that have clear rules and do not require adventurers to summarize the rules themselves: Darkmoon Circus and the Old House. There must be some intrinsic connection between these two places.
"Backtrack!"
(Backtracking begins!)
(You and the dwarf are on the same starting line.)
(You squat on the ground and take off your shoes and socks.)
(You thought about it for a while, and then took off your shirt and pants, leaving only your underwear.)
(Dark Moon: "What are you doing?")
(You: “Reduce wind resistance.”)
(Dark Moon: "Hahaha, it seems that Mr. Gu takes the competition very seriously. Let's officially start the competition. On your marks - get set - go!")
(You ran out, and the dwarf couldn't catch up with you.)
(You jumped onto the single-plank bridge and crossed it on thin ice.)
(The second obstacle is a diving platform that requires swinging over with the help of a rope overhead.)
(You grab the rope and swing across.)
(When you were halfway through the flight, the rope broke, and you struggled to keep your balance in mid-air, and almost fell into the lava.)
(You hold onto the platform and barely climb up.)
(Your physical fitness is not very good. You have to rest for half a day before you can catch your breath.)
(At this point, the dwarf has successfully walked across the single-plank bridge and arrived in front of the diving platform, and easily grabbed the rope and swung to the other side.)
(The third obstacle is a rock climbing wall, and the dwarfs have short arms and legs and move slowly.)
(When you have rested enough, turn around and climb.)
(You quickly climbed to the top.)
(Your hands were sweaty and you didn't hold on to the handrail tightly and fell down.)
(You fall to the ground, dizzy.)
(You hear a whistle blow.)
(The dwarf has climbed the climbing wall before you.)
(You lost the game.)
(Dark Moon: "Sorry, Mr. Gu, you lost the game and will be punished by us!")
(You feel severe pain all over your body.)
(A clown .)
(You gradually lose yourself.)
(you are dead.)
(The deduction is over!)
"Huh?" Gu Yi opened his eyes. "Did these guys do something to my track?"
Gu Yi shook his head and started to deduce again.
(Backtracking begins!)
(You and the dwarf are standing at the starting line.)
(You took off your shoes and clothes.)
(Dark Moon: "Huh? What are you doing?")
(You: “What? Is it against the rules for me to streak?”)
(Dark Moon: “Hahaha… let’s get started, everyone take your positions——”)
(You: “Wait, I want to change lanes.”)
(Dark Moon: "What?")
(You: "I'll switch lanes with him. I don't want to go this way.")
(Dark Moon: "It's okay.")
(You and the dwarf switch tracks.)
(Game start.)
(You were the first to reach the single-plank bridge.)
(Suddenly, lava gushed out and spread over the wooden bridge.)
(The single-plank bridge is instantly set on fire, and you use your hands and feet to crawl to the other side.)
(You jump up and grab the rope.)
(Your palms are so sweaty that you almost slip off, so you quickly swing back and wrap the rope around your wrists twice.)
(You finally swing to the other side.)
(You turn to look at the dwarf and see that he is already halfway up the climbing wall.)
(You run over quickly.)
(The climbing wall collapses on you on the head.)
(Your vision goes dark.)
(you are dead.)
(The deduction is over!)
"how so?"
Gu Yi touched his chin and thought carefully.
If the first failure was due to an accident, the second failure was due to tampering .
So what was the reason for the third failure?
This doesn't make any sense.
"So... I can only be punished by the rules. Which one is wrong?"
Gu Yi recalled the audience rules of the Dark Moon Circus and could not see anything wrong with it. This was almost the basic quality of every audience member.
Gu Yi closed his eyes and carefully recalled every detail of the challenge.
"No, it's not when you're breaking through the level, but when you just enter the door."
Gu Yi touched his nose.
When she first entered the circus, the clown gave her a balloon crown, and Dark Moon praised herself after seeing it.
Article 4 of the Audience Guidelines:
“4. There is no free lunch in the circus. Don’t just pick up food from the roadside. It may harm you.”
Lunch here doesn't just mean food.
The clown gave himself a balloon crown . Isn’t that a free lunch?
The balloon sword made by the clown last time could kill the python monster directly. Could it be that the balloon crown given by the clown this time has no strange power? I accepted the benefit of others without saying a word, but I didn't know that I fell into someone else's trap.
That balloon crown might very well be a strange object that will bring you bad luck!
"I see."
Gu Yi silently deduced it once, and the problem really appeared on the balloon crown. He twisted his neck and walked leisurely into the huge portal.
Gu Yi heard the cheerful music of the circus.
Just as deduced before, the familiar clown came to Gu Yi with a hop and skip, blew out a balloon crown and was about to put it on Gu Yi.
"Oh! No need for that." Gu Yi shrank his head back, "Take me to see your captain."
The clown was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He pulled Gu Yi towards the largest tent in the circus.
Gu Yi finally saw An Yue, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
The Dark Moon in the deduction wears a black and purple suit, while the real Dark Moon wears a pure black suit.
——The Darkmoon Circus comes from a higher dimension, and there are some deviations between their own deductions and reality!
"Oh, welcome to the Dark Moon Circus." Dark Moon said with a smile, "If you want to spend a happy day in the circus, please abide by the following rules."
As An Yue spoke, she handed the note of rules to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi unfolded it and took a look.
The note had black words on a white background, but fortunately the content was the same as when it was deduced, except for some differences in some details.
"Thanks."
"So, audience member, do you have your ticket?"
"certainly."
Gu Yi took out the eye patch from his pocket.
Dark Moon took the blindfold, scratched a mark on it with her fingernail, and pointed to the audience seats. "Dark Moon Circus welcomes you. Please find a seat quickly. The wonderful circus show is about to begin."
Gu Yi nodded and came to the audience seats.
At this moment, he felt his whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The whole scene of the circus was turned upside down before his eyes.
