Collapse: Chasing Fire Studio

"Ah! So fast!" Aponia raised her head and saw the awkward young man standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly adjusted her appearance.

"Mo, come in directly." I waved to Cosmo, and the young man glanced at the indifferent guard at the side, and seeing that he didn't speak, he quickly ran towards us.

The boy took a long breath after standing still, and then handed the red gift box in his hand to Alponia.

"That...thank...thank you for your care."

Chapter 422 Purple Cards

The boy took a long breath after standing still, and then handed the red gift box in his hand to Alponia.

"That...thank...thank you for your care."

"It's all from my family, so you're welcome." Aponia smiled and took the gift box from Cosmo, and glanced at it. It seemed to be agarwood for women.

"Is this expensive? Mo, the employment environment is not good now, and it is not easy for you to make money. There is no need to give such an expensive gift." Aponia said no, but a happy smile rose from the corner of her mouth.

"...Fortunately, Destobia has relatives who are doing this, and they gave it to me at the ex-factory price." Cosmo scratched his head in embarrassment, "She didn't come for the final exam recently, so I asked me to say hello to you."

"Well, Destobia is beautiful and has a good personality, you should cherish it, Mo." Aponia nodded.

"I, I will definitely!" Cosmo nodded firmly at the moment.

"Mo, why don't you go to my house first? Alicia bought several game consoles like those in the video game mall, and you can have a good time." I blinked.

"Uh... no need, today is Children's Day, what activities are you doing?"

"Alicia made a Fairy Cup, a total of three games, and now is the second game, which is to find cards in the ship's mansion according to the map." I replied casually.

"Mo, if you are free, you can help Alponia collect it."

"Is this okay?" Aponia's eyes widened, "Is it cheating to ask for foreign aid?"

"In the last game, Mebius directly changed the stats and was not judged to be cheating. What's the point of asking for foreign aid?" I waved my hand, "You don't know, Eden directly recruited people to help her find cards at the square."

"..." Aponia nodded, and sent Cosmo the map she just took with her mobile phone.

"Amo, if you have something to do, go and do it first, it's okay."

"I'm free in the afternoon... I just promised Kevin in the evening..."

"Cough cough." I coughed twice, signaling Cosmo not to slip up.

"Isn't there a special place near here, let's go and see it together?"

"………OK."

According to the prompt on the map, we came to the bottom of a tall tower.

The tower is a closed structure with its windows closed. There are eight floors in total, and only one door is opened on the first floor. It used to be used for viewing and police posts, but now it is a bit deserted. eerie vibe.

"This tower is useless, why not demolish it?" Aponia turned on the flashlight and shone through the door. Under the focus of the beam, you can see obvious dust and a spiral upward staircase.

"It must be demolished one by one, not just this tower." I replied casually, "And in case of the end of the world and the biochemical crisis, this tower can be used to detect the enemy's situation."

"But... Bosses usually live in this kind of tower, right?" Cosmo finally heard the topic he was good at, and suddenly regained his energy.

"I heard a story before. It was also a group of people walking up the stairs, walking and walking, only to find that they were always wandering on the same floor, unable to go up or down, and finally collapsed and committed suicide on that floor of stairs."

"..." I walked in the front, took the mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to test the path, feeling a bit of coolness inexplicably.

"Captain... What do you think we should do if we are also trapped and unable to get out?" Cosmo said, he became afraid at first, his body trembled, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be countless eyes staring at him in the darkness, and he couldn't help swallowing.

"Don't worry, if we can't get out by taking the stairs, I'll smash the wall here and open a hole for you." I walked ahead speechlessly, this man didn't shut up when he should shut up, but he was like a mute when he should talk.

"Then what if the walls are also interconnected?" Cosmo asked persistently.

"That's a good relationship, let's finish it together." I shook my head speechlessly.Although there are some magical individuals in this world, it is actually full of logic and rules as a whole. The reason why many people are timid is that they like to scare themselves.

"...Captain, generally speaking, when the protagonist group is helpless, the boss will suddenly appear."

"Well, after defeating the boss, the surrounding environment will return to normal, right?" I echoed Cosmo.

"………Yes."

"Then, Mo, don't you think it's strange, why doesn't the boss directly use this space maze to trap the protagonist group to death?"

"Or...maintaining this maze will also consume the energy of the boss? If the protagonist group destroys the maze, it will also burden the boss?"

"Then why did the boss try so hard to lure the protagonist group into this maze? Isn't it wasting energy and exposing weaknesses?"

"...Captain, it's meaningless to demand truth in a virtual world."

"Well, you know it's virtual now. I nodded and accompanied Cosmo all the way down the nonsense, and I reached the room on the top of the tower. Pushing open the hidden iron door, the sun shone in.

Cosmo was at a loss for words for a while, and felt a little sad for no reason.

Virtual……

There is a small balcony on the top of the tower with a telescope on it, which seems to be specially used for looking out.Because the mansion of the ship's family is basically a two-story and three-story building, so standing on the eight-story tower, we already have a sense of openness to see all the small mountains.

Aponia searched on the small balcony, and finally found the purple card hidden by Alicia under a small flower pot.

"found it!"

There was a bright light in the woman's eyes, and Aponia quickly showed the card in front of Cosmo and me.

Unlike before, there is no pattern printed on the purple card, but a letter: E.In addition, there is a small line written on the back of the card:

Treasure information: far away in the sky, close in sight.

"Far in the sky? Close in sight?" I touched my chin, thinking about what this sentence meant.

Could it be that the treasure is an abstract thing?Or in other words, whether the treasure is obtained or not actually requires another medium?And the "E" on this purple card... what does it mean?

"...I seem to know." Cosmo said suddenly and abruptly.

"Oh? Then talk about your understanding?" I blinked. Cosmo's brain circuit has always been very clear, and he can often bypass the abstract part and directly hit the essential answer.As far as the lion wake cake made by Alicia last time, it is really not ordinary people who can recognize it.

"...far away in the sky, close in front of our eyes, this sentence seems to refer to the abstract change of distance, but it can also refer to the change of field of view." Kosmo saw that Aponia and I were still puzzled, so he stretched out a hand and pointed to the telescope at the side.

Σ(?o?o?)!

Abonia immediately understood what Cosmo meant, ran to the front of the telescope, and used the telescope to look at the mansion of the ship owner...

A three-story small building appeared in the center of the field of vision.

"Amo, you are so smart!" Alponia couldn't help but praise in admiration, "Come and see!"

Smiling and seeing Alponia's happy appearance, I couldn't help feeling a little warmer in my heart.

Although I am already an adult, this treasure hunt game still gives me a novel sense of happiness and accomplishment.

Reminiscing about the beauty of childhood... Maybe Alicia wants to make up for everyone's not-so-happy childhood.

Danzai and Xiaocang have received professional training from the Yun family since childhood; Eden was also raised by the Yi family with extremely high requirements; Aponia is far away in a foreign land, carrying the expectations of the Huang Kingdom to become a precept of the Illuminati; and Mebius...was born in a broken and violent family.

Picking up the past... Looking back on childhood along the time travel, the good memories seem to have changed from thick to light like ink on paper.

But at least... I will do my best to give them a happy present and future.

Chapter 423

After confirming the location of the three-story building on the watchtower, we went downstairs and headed directly to the location of the building……………………………

After turning a few turns and crossing several streets, we arrived at the location of the small building, only to find that it had been occupied by a group of ten-year-old children.

"You are the master!" The leader is a girl with dark eyes and black hair, bright eyes and white teeth, and a vigorous figure. Although her small face is still full of childishness, she already has a bit of heroic beauty.

Many of these children were still carrying schoolbags, so they should have just come back from school.

"Hello~" I bent down, smiled and shook hands with the little girl.

"What are you doing here?"

"We followed Sister Eden to find the treasure!"

"There is a big treasure here!"

"Awesome treasure! Sister Eden said that if she finds it, she will buy us toys and food!"

I nodded helplessly, thinking of the scene where Eden was surrounded by a group of children, I felt a little funny for some reason.

And just as we were chatting, there was a broken sound in the room...

"Eden?!"

In a panic, I quickly squeezed the children away and ran into the house, only to find that Eden was looking thoughtfully at the shards of glass on the ground.

"captain?"

Eden saw me and waved with a smile. Besides saying hello, she also signaled that I don’t have to worry. Then she took out a large stack of cards from her bosom with a little satisfaction. There were about sixty or seventy cards, most of which were red, but there were also a few purple ones.

"You..." I swallowed.

"The second game, I won." Eden raised his eyebrows, put away the cards, and then took out a broom and dustpan from the side to clean up the debris.

"What you just broke was..." I swallowed.

"It's the clue to the final treasure." Eden explained, "Ailey seems to have made up a code by herself. There were several patterns on the tile just now, corresponding to the mountains or houses on the red card, and the letters on the purple card should be It has to do with how it is decoded."

"But... I don't have enough purple cards in my hand now, and I still can't crack the code on the tiles."

"So you just..."

"Well, so I destroyed the tiles." Eden nodded, "I have a total of 62 red cards and 3 purple cards in my hand, with a total of 77 points. If no one finds the final treasure, other The sum of all the cards in the hands of people will not be as many as mine."

"Then... I hope you win the game." I nodded with a wry smile, feeling that everyone was so serious, it was cheating and hiring someone, Eden just smashed the key clue right now.The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers? ……………………………………

When the game time was over, we returned to the yard together to count the scores.

"Okay, now everyone take out all the cards~" Alicia smiled and clapped her hands, "We're going to start counting the points. A red card gets one point, and a purple card gets five points."

"Well... Aponia has 22 red cards plus 1 purple card, a total of 27 points." Alicia nodded.

Aponia rubbed her cheeks in embarrassment. It was her first time contacting this kind of game, and she was not very good at it.

"What about Mebius, why don't you take out the card?" Alicia put her hands on her hips, pretending to be serious.

"...I didn't look for it." Mebius glanced at Alicia and stretched.

"I already scored four points in the first round. This kind of treasure hunting has to run around. It's not something I'm good at. Why don't you take a good rest."

"Hmm~ It seems that the doctor is ready to gather his strength to win the third round." Alicia smiled and nodded.
