Chapter 302 Maze
Chapter 302 Maze
As the water in the pool changed, Ophelia took a look and did not translate directly. Instead, she looked at Luo Jun. There was a hint of doubt in her seemingly calm eyes.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?"
It was the first time everyone else saw Ophelia's reaction like this, and they were all very curious. All the shocking questions and even more shocking answers before had not moved her. How weird must be the question that Quanshui asked Ye?
After a few seconds of silence, Ophelia asked, "What did you have for dinner last night?"
Uh...what?!
The others suspected that they had heard it wrong, and Jin Fei immediately shouted: "Impossible, did you translate it wrong?"
Ophelia said: "No, these are all common words used in ancient Paramy. I can't make a mistake."
"Indeed..." Zhuge Chi nodded. "What to eat for dinner? It's a very daily question. There shouldn't be any unfamiliar words. I wonder if this is not a literal meaning, but some kind of hint?"
"What could last night's dinner hint at?" Ottos blinked and looked at Luo Jun: "Who was the woman you slept with last night?"
"Are you crazy? He was on the airship with us last night." Jin Fei said to Ophelia, "I still suspect that the translation is wrong. Take a closer look..."
They were still arguing when Luo Jun stepped forward and answered, "Pork, canned beans, jam, and dry bread."
These are the supplies that everyone brought, and they are still in the backpacks.
"Hey, don't answer so quickly!" It was too late for Jin Fei to stop him, and the words reflected in the pool had begun to change.
"correct answer."
Is this really the problem?!
"Why?!"
"It's not fair! You cheated! Tell me, what did you do?"
The Gourmet and the Fantasy Shooter jumped up and questioned Ye, but Luo Jun just shrugged his shoulders.
The secret must not be revealed!
Now, Ophelia was the only one left to answer the question, and the nun stepped forward and placed her hand on the stone tablet.
Everyone was a little curious about what secrets would be uncovered about her.
Although she and Mou Ning both gave people a cold feeling, everyone could clearly feel the difference between them. Mou Ning gave people a feeling of indifference after seeing all the truth. Although she acted very cold, her behavior and demeanor were quite natural when interacting with others.
But Ophelia is completely different. This mysterious nun sent by the Vatican headquarters is more like a machine than a human being. There is no fluctuation in the tone of her voice. Most of the time she doesn't even look at people when she speaks. She also avoids body movements as much as possible... giving people a strange feeling of oppression.
What kind of difficult questions would such a woman have? Would there be some different reactions when answering?
Everyone is looking forward to it very much.
The water in the pool changed, and a line of ancient Paramita text appeared.
Then... there is no more...
Ophelia didn't translate, so they couldn't understand it!
I forgot about this. Of course there is no reason for others to translate questions that embarrass me!
Everyone looked at Ophelia. Even if you don’t translate, you have to answer. Let’s hear what your answer is!
Ophelia opened her red lips and said, "*&%…&¥*%*%()&)&"
The answer was also in ancient Paramita!
Then, the water in the pool changed, and a word emerged... Having seen it so many times, they recognized it without translation, and answered correctly...
Damn... too cunning! Everyone looked at Ophelia angrily... and Ye!
Under the dissatisfied gazes of the crowd, the building in front of the fountain slowly opened, revealing a passage.
The crowd continued to move forward. After passing the Fountain of Honesty, the huge pyramid seemed not far away, but the road ahead was not very smooth.
After walking about a hundred meters, they came to a T-junction. They could only go left or right. They chose to go left, and after turning two corners, they came to a dead end. In front of them was a statue of a warrior holding a sword. They were about to go back, but the road behind them was blocked by a moving building, and the statue slowly came to life.
This little monster did not pose any threat to them. After easily dealing with it, what was opened was not the passage in front of them, but the building behind them that trapped them.
I returned to the T-junction and chose the road on the right. This time, there were forks in the road. I tried them one by one, but they were either traps or dead ends guarded by monsters. Sometimes I even went around in a circle and ended up in a familiar place, wasting a lot of time.
There is no distinction between day and night here, except for a huge gem on the top of the central pyramid, which emits dazzling light day and night, just like the sun, making people's biological clocks a little messed up.
"The second half seemed not far away, but it turned out to be a huge maze!" Jin Fei looked up at the pyramid that seemed to be so close: "There were so many forks in the road, I felt like I had circled half a circle around the pyramid."
"My detection ability is of no help." Mu Ning sighed: "It can only extend a few dozen meters at most, and I can't find the end of each branch..."
"If we want to reach the pyramids... we can only go this way." Zhuge Chi was also a little annoyed. This lost ruin of Amjira was full of an irresistible force. Most people would just feel that their movements were restricted, but Zhuge Chi, who was at the highest level, felt it more clearly than others...
This is a form of repression, and can even be called an attack!
The longer he stayed, the stronger his urge to escape became...
"Do you think that the previous team didn't enter the pyramid and got lost in this maze?" Ottos asked, "We might run into them by accident if we wander around like this."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Zhuge Chi gritted his teeth and said, "It is also possible that we encountered a test like the Road of Vice... Now we still don't know what happened to the missing Rolf and Ma Lei. There are too many secrets in this relic. I think we haven't figured it out yet..." "Instead of analyzing it like this, let's keep it simple." At this time, Luo Jun stood up and said, "Come with me."
As he spoke, he walked to the crossroads in front of him, took out a knife, and threw it into the sky.
The knife bounced on the ground several times and finally pointed to the right.
"So casual?" Ottos was stunned.
Jin Fei remembered that Luo Jun had done something similar when he chose the path of vice, so he followed him: "We don't have any other way to judge, right?"
The crowd walked along the road on the right, and after turning two corners, they came to a small square with a roundabout with eight roads in all directions.
A place I've never seen before!
This is a good sign. Generally speaking, as long as it is not a dead end or turning back to the original place, it means that progress is moving forward.
However, there was no special challenge in this square. It was just a simple fork in the road. Luo Jun walked forward and picked up the knife again.
"This way." Without hesitation, he walked in the direction pointed by the knife tip. The others hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to follow.
There are still ten times... Luo Jun muttered to himself.
Just before, when everyone was discussing how to get through the maze, the long-lost task reminder finally rang in Luo Jun's mind.
"Trigger mission: Arrive at the pyramid"
"Mission Difficulty: 85"
"Severity factor: 12 times"
"Task consumption: five uses"
"Task limit: twelve uses"
"Task time limit: 24 hours"
"Whether to accept?"
When this task was triggered, Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, but then he interpreted two pieces of information from it.
First, the master is indeed in the pyramid. According to experience, the tasks issued by the dice are all beneficial to him or things he has a strong desire for. His strongest wish now is to rescue the master, so guiding him to the pyramid means that the master is indeed there.
Second, Master may not be able to hold on for much longer.
There are generally two situations with a twelve-fold severity coefficient. One is that it concerns the life and death of the host; the other is that success or failure will bring serious consequences, such as tens of thousands of lives, or a huge disaster, etc.
If we consider it from the first perspective, even if the mission fails, with the supplies of several people, it should be able to last for many days. During this period, his dice will be refreshed every day, and he can always find his way to the pyramid.
Therefore, even if he fails to reach the pyramid this time, he will not die...but the same may not be true for his master.
His team has been missing for many days. If they got lost in the pyramid and got injured, their situation may be very bad now.
There were no clear deadlines for previous missions, because the events associated with the missions themselves were time-sensitive, such as saving people, who would die if they were one step late. Another example was the previous case, where the Fifth Elder directly gave a deadline, without the need for additional explanation of the mission.
But this time it was different, the mission had a clear deadline, which was extra information, indicating that if we didn’t arrive within twenty-four hours, there would be big problems!
And according to Luo Jun's speculation, the master and the others may have mastered a secret in the pyramid. If we can't arrive in time to help them, it may cause a huge disaster!
This is the meaning of the twelve-fold severity factor!
Therefore, Luo Jun did not hesitate at all. Every time he reached an intersection, he would throw the knife decisively and pass through quickly!
It's not too bad. Most intersections only have two or three forks in the road, so it's not difficult to throw the knife. With the protection of double insurance, it's basically successful. If it fails occasionally, it's just a loss of the knife. There's no need to regret it, just throw it again.
This behavior of indirectly judging events through methods such as drawing lots or spinning wheels can be considered as taking advantage of loopholes to a certain extent, but it is not without cost.
Because success brings benefits, and failure brings no cost. Taking all factors into consideration, the severity coefficient is much lower than directly judging the event, and the experience gained after success is also greatly reduced...
But it is much better than going down the wrong path again after failure.
After a series of knife-throwing to point the way, everyone finally arrived at a T-junction.
Luo Jun looked at the task description. He had used up all the dice, but he hadn't reached the pyramid yet...
Looking up at the pyramid that is so close, it seems to be behind the building in front of me, exuding a huge sense of oppression...
Luo Jun estimated that after three more intersections, he would reach the pyramid...but given the nature of the previous maze, without the guidance of the dice, if he made the wrong choice at one of these intersections, he might get trapped in a very complex and large branch.
It was good to go back to a certain place before, and then I could walk through it again based on my memory. The most frightening thing was getting lost in a brand new maze, not knowing how long it would take to get out.
