The Age of Machines

Chapter 826 Lost
Before the back of [Book of Punishment] got close to the keyhole, the black light couldn't wait to flash on the surface of the book.Then it continuously transmitted power to the gate, and the three-headed snake wrapped around the lock slowly crawled upwards. The left and right ends stretched out. The circle moved up and down, until it reached two-thirds of the position, the snake head stopped moving and got into the keyhole.

"click"

After being firmly fixed, the snake's body gradually glowed with a dark golden light, and suddenly it began to turn counterclockwise, and the snake's head and body split.Lollipop backed away holding the [Book of Punishment], the door made a heavy sound, the keyhole disappeared, and the palace door slowly opened to both sides.

When a group of people were about to enter, a gust of wind suddenly blew. Although it was not extremely violent, the wind was really weird.After that, there was a crisp sound in the dark palace in front of me, and then a strong fragrance rushed towards me, making me intoxicated.

"smell good…"

Lollipop thought: the scent of flowers.

The moment the seven of them stepped into the gate of the palace, the darkness in front of them was instantly replaced by colorful colors.The scent of flowers permeates the nose, and beautiful flowers are everywhere in front of my eyes.This is a huge garden, and the colorful dream world gave them a strong visual impact.From half an hour ago, they were all in a dark place.The colorful fairy tale world in front of me is like a hallucination.

Lollipop looked at the pink grass under his feet and didn't know what to say for a moment. Yellow, cyan, orange, and purple were intertwined, weaving a rainbow-like dreamy grass.Lollipop walked to the flowers under the pillar, and couldn't help but touch them lightly with his hands.

It's real feeling, real presence.

It is too inconceivable that a field full of flowers and plants will grow in the palace, forming a garden here.But sometimes, when you think that this is just a game world, something seems to make sense again.

"It's a little bit different from what I imagined." I was touching my head day by day, and the scene in front of me felt like a fairyland.And this Juling Island, which has been deserted, still has such an unreal place.That piece of Linchuan Heihe is incompatible with this place.

The civet cat knelt down and reached out to touch the grass. It was softer than expected, and the colors were flowing, just like water, but the ripples were very small.

"It's better to be more vigilant, don't take it lightly."

Bei Xi drew out his weapon by himself and did not forget to remind them.Even if the scenery is good, it is still a relic after all.Danger must be present all the time.

From Beixi's point of view, the palace looks really big from the outside.It's really surprising that coming in is the courtyard. Beixi always finds it weird, but he can't tell what's so strange.

A group of people walked slowly on the colorful grass.

There is no end ahead, and the rainbow-colored grass stretches all the way. It seems that they still have a long way to go.This is a part of the area that is missing from the map. Without a detailed map, they can only follow their feelings.

Taking advantage of the gap, Lollipop threw the [Book of Punishment] back into the package, and then opened the mission to see if there were any changes or changes.

The coordinates are still there, but it's hard for her to judge whether they are nearby now.And the task is still to hand over the book to [Meredith].

Hopefully this is the final end they were looking for.

All the way.

There are stone pillars on both sides, and two meters past the stone pillars is the wall.Except for a road in the middle, the other areas are full of flowers and plants.After passing a few stone pillars, a water altar will be found in the middle area.The water altar is surrounded by colorful flowers, and there is also clear spring water in it, which continuously emerges, flows on the grass, and spreads around.

The deeper you go, the stronger the fragrance.

Beixi doesn't like this kind of overly strong fragrance, and doesn't think it smells good, but makes people feel uncomfortable.The head began to gradually become unclear, the thoughts were confused, and the body became heavier.

Lollipop rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was too tired from the journey or what, his eyelids suddenly seemed to be pressed against a stone, extremely heavy, even if he didn't want to close it, he couldn't stop it.

So tired~ I really want to sleep.

"Hmm... so sleepy." Day by day, he yawned a lot, his eyes were sleepy.

Rashomon's face also began to show obvious tiredness, "This smell is very relaxing, I suddenly feel sleepy..."

"boom"

Before all the words could be spoken, Rashomon fell directly to the ground holding his forehead.His body was submerged in the grass, but he didn't know when he got up. The colorful grass that couldn't cover a palm a minute ago can now cover half of his body.

"Luo Sheng..." The civet cat was surprised and hurried to check his situation.Just squatting down, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from behind him.

"I'm so sleepy, President. Let me sleep for a while~" He muttered day after day, and fell to the ground as if he was really asleep.Lollipops were not spared either.

Tanuki was surprised, although she also felt tired, but not as serious as them?
After thinking about it, my head, which was still clear at first, suddenly became confused, and then it seemed as if a stone had been stuffed into my mind, so heavy that I wanted to fall asleep now.

This made the civet cat feel the crisis.

Holding his head, his vision gradually blurred.She looked at Beixi and Weishengmo. The two of them were kneeling on the ground, covering their heads with their hands. They should be in her current state.

She couldn't see their expressions clearly.

All he knew was that the moment his vision was completely plunged into darkness, Beixi and Weishengmo fell down one after another.

After that, consciousness has been in a blank state.

In the game, if the player is not conscious, nothing will happen.Generally speaking, the detachment of consciousness will only exist for ten seconds.Sometimes because of the needs of the mission, this state of detachment can also be said to follow the mission plot. In order to add reality, such a link was designed.

For players, it's just ten seconds, but when they open their eyes, their location or certain things will change.Generally, the NPC will lead the change.

"Hmm~"

Lollipop woke up first.

When she woke up, her head still hurt a little. She covered her head and sat up from the ground. "Ouch~"

The buttocks sat on an object with obtuse angles, and the lollipop stretched out his hand to push it away, but his fingers touched the hard ground, mixed with some sand grains.This is a far cry from the soft grass before.

Lollipop froze, thinking of a possibility.

Some missions do have this pattern.Players are completely in a coma, and then wake up, and may be taken to another mission's turning point to continue the mission.

It was pitch black all around.

Lollipop felt somewhat uneasy at the thought that she might be alone.Take out the magic lamp, fortunately it can still be used.As soon as the light shone, she met a pair of dull eyes.

The lollipop was held back for a long time, "One day, are you unloved?"

One day is one day, but he just stares at her and doesn't speak.It took a while before Na Na said, "Ah, it's Tang Tang."

Lollipop grabbed the pebble next to it and threw it over, and said angrily: "Why do you sound so disappointed? What do you think you can see when you wake up?"

He touched his chin day by day, as if he was thinking seriously. "No matter what, she has to be fair-skinned and beautiful, with big breasts and buttocks..."

"Shemale."

There was a sneer behind him.

One day at a time, I hurriedly looked back, and Ukiyo-e looked down at him with contempt, um, contempt actually.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Every day, he jumped up and stood directly opposite him, wanting to reason.

Ukiyo-e said: "Can't you see it, contempt."

"Oh, I don't believe you're not interested in beautiful women with fair skin and big breasts."

Ukiyo-e said coldly: "I'm not as free as you."

"Pretend, keep pretending, pretend hard."

Rashomon approached, "What are you pretending to be?"

After that, Beixi, civet cats, and Weishengmo also entered the lighting range of the magic lamp.

They were more or less in a state of confusion after waking up, but once the magic lamp of the lollipop was illuminated, they could see the light even in the dark, and there were people in the light.

Naturally, they gathered here.

Beixi and civet cats also took out their own magic lamps, the darkness began to be expelled, and the scope expanded, and those existences hidden in the darkness should also reveal their true colors.

One day is one day and I don't plan to continue this topic, otherwise it will be endless.

Ukiyoe smiled and said: "Say one day I like transvestites."

One day at a time, he snorted coldly, "My sexual orientation is normal, don't slander me."

"Okay, okay, let's not discuss what we like in a day." Lollipop quickly interrupted, and said, "Where are we now?"

Beixi pointed behind her expressionlessly.

"The entrance to the palace is no more than 20 meters away."

Their waking positions have not changed, but they did appear in the [coma mode] that is often seen in missions. In this mode, there must be some changes.

"Why is it still in the corridor of the palace gate? Wasn't it in the passage of a pile of flowers just now?"

"It can only be an illusion." Beixi said.

"Is that the organ of this palace? Or..."

What does the NPC do?
"I don't know. Anyway, the moment we opened the door, we might have been recruited." Beixi remembered that when they opened the door, there was a sudden gust of wind, and then a strange fragrance of flowers came out.

She doesn't understand everything.

She subconsciously thought that this kind of thing was quite normal, after all, it was the first time to visit this ruins and this picture.I was already very alert, but I didn't expect to enter the illusion directly.

"What's the purpose?"

Obviously, even if it is a central authority, there is something behind it that controls everything.Because there is a certain purpose, and this purpose must allow their mission to continue.

Several people fell into thinking.

"When the wind is blowing, there are crisp sounds in the palace." When the civet cat heard the sound, it wondered if it might have alarmed the wild monsters in the palace, but it didn't think so much after entering the garden.She always felt that the wind was very strange at that time, but she didn't feel anything.

"There is no complete explanation for everything we have encountered so far." Bei Xi pursed her lips. "I'll go back and see if there's a clue."

I always felt like I was missing something.

What the civet cat said reminded Bei Xi that he had indeed missed the clue.

"Let's go then."

Without figuring out what happened, they really couldn't go deeper with peace of mind.It is not very far from the gate of the palace, and at a distance of about 20 meters, you can still see the conspicuous blue light.

Everyone took out their magic lamps.

In this passage, there are no colorful grass carpets, and there are no various flowers and plants. Only stone pillars support it here. It has a stale smell.

"Don't miss any corners."

Go back the same way and search all the way.

Eventually a glass bottle was found behind a stone pillar three meters from the gate.The lollipops were brought in front of everyone, and there were still colorful liquids in the purple glass bottles.

The familiar sweet floral scent wafts through the air.

A group of people hurriedly covered their noses.

"That's right, that's what it tastes like."

Therefore, it is not an organ that exists in this palace at all, but an illusion created by man.Make them stunned, and with a purpose.

Who will it be?
"Is it the bird from before, what's its name?"

"He is an eagle, Eagle King Merv."

One day is one day: "Whatever his name is, I think he has malicious intentions anyway. And he should be the only one who knows that we are here."

They met not many living NPCs throughout the process.

And only Manlf mentioned this restricted area, intentionally leading them here.Is there something in it? So they were stunned and sneaked into the palace.

"It doesn't make sense." Rashomon shook his head, rejecting Yiichi's idea.

The Eagle King came here with a purpose, and he would definitely not let them find out.If he really wanted to take something from this place, why bother to stun them before sneaking in?
"Is there a description for this bottle?" Ukiyo-e asked Lollipop.

Lollipop grinned: "Yes, [Ecstasy Bottle]."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

In other words, there is no idea who the person who threw the bottle is!
"why?"

It took a lot of effort to stun them, and after waking up, there was no change in place...

Bei Xi stared at the bottle, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Take a look to see if you have lost anything." After saying this, Beixi thought of something again, and couldn't help but change his words: "The others don't need it, Tangtang, do you still have your [Book of Punishment]?" ?”

Lollipop was startled, and quickly flipped through the package.

In less than a second, his face suddenly changed, "It's gone!"

really!
Ding, you found that [Book of Retribution] is missing.

Ding, the task content is updated, please check it quickly.

Lollipop hastily clicked on the task bar, and the original task of [Return to the original owner] has also become [Recover the Book of Punishment].

Please take back the Book of Punishment immediately and go to the 【Holy Spring】, where there should still be traces.
