"I can't leave even if I win?"
At that moment, perhaps Lin Sanjiu sensed something on her face, the child statue's empty eye sockets, which were staring at the sky, suddenly turned to look at her. The eye sockets flickered by the side of its nose and returned to its original position. Then, laughter came from the statue.
"Don't be angry and don't be surprised! I think it's better for you to accept your fate. After all, you have already awakened us. You have no other choice but to play a game with us. "
Indeed.
Lin Sanjiu was trapped in an active pocket dimension. She couldn't leave, nor could she fight. She didn't have an item like the [Pocket Dimension Escape Lens], and the pocket dimension's creatures were part of the rules of the pocket dimension. Posthumans couldn't do anything to them.
Even though she knew that, she wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't do something just because she knew it was impossible.
Generally speaking, if a posthuman wanted to leave the pocket dimension, they could only complete it once. They could only leave if they achieved the victory or escape condition. The question was, what were the conditions to escape this pocket dimension?
Lin Sanjiu stared at the child statue and retorted coldly, "If I don't try, how do I know I can't do anything? Even if I can't get out, I will just stand still and not play hide-and-seek with you. What can you do to me? "
Without giving the child statue a chance to speak, Lin Sanjiu continued, "Tell me how I can leave, and I will play a few rounds with you. If you don't tell me how to leave, I will just throw caution to the wind. No matter what, I will not cooperate. Don't you want to play hide-and-seek? Being able to play a few rounds is better than not being able to play a single round, right? "
Her experience in the apocalyptic worlds had taught her that sometimes, the more one was willing to fight to the death, the more one would end up in peace and even get what he wanted. However, this method didn't work when negotiating with the pocket dimension's creatures.
"It's rare to see someone as tough as you, big sister," the child statue's snow-white face was cold and stiff. It didn't move an inch as it said, "We will play with you for a while. We won't exhaust you so quickly."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but purse her lips.
"As for you not cooperating … we are not afraid." The voice in its body laughed, "Just like the first rule, when the 'ghost' reaches an odd number, it must close its eyes. What if the 'ghost' doesn't close its eyes? Do we have to rely on the 'ghost' to cooperate and be self-aware? Of course not. "
It said slowly, "As soon as the game starts, your body and brain will follow the rules of the instance and start to move. The decision you've made now won't affect you at all. Even if you pass out immediately, or break your limbs, when the game of hide-and-seek begins, you will have no choice but to participate … Unless you die, I'm not worried at all. "
… There's actually such a dungeon?
As it turned out, the child's statue wasn't exaggerating at all.
It announced with a smile, "Hide-and-seek begins now. Your target is the female statue holding the flower basket!"
Once the child statue finished speaking, Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth and counted to one. At the same time, she closed her eyes. Her reaction and actions were so natural and smooth that if someone who didn't know what was going on saw her, they would think that she was eager to play as soon as possible.
When she realized that her eyes were closed, a layer of sweat broke out on her back.
No one controls her. The order to count and close her eyes were all given by her brain. She even remembered clearly that she didn't want to cooperate. However, compared to playing hide-and-seek, the latter seemed to be a higher priority. Naturally, she chose to play hide-and-seek instead of not cooperating. Rather than saying that she was being controlled, it would be more accurate to say that she had betrayed herself.
However, even though she understood everything, she couldn't muster the will to resist. This was because the only thing that could resist was her brain. Even though she didn't want to play hide-and-seek, she still had to do what she had to do, right?
"Two."
Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes immediately.
The five large statues were no longer in their original positions. The child statue had its back facing her. It was about ten steps away from her, as if it was thinking about where to hide. The female statue holding the flower basket and the curly-haired man were sliding slowly toward the back of the courtyard. The fish-tailed man was bent over, observing Lin Sanjiu with his face that was like the roof of a building.
No matter how much she resisted, she closed her eyes again when she said "three." The world turned dark.
"What are those large statues doing in this dark world?"
"Four." She opened her eyes quickly, just in time to hear a giggle.
The female statue with a kettle on her head covered her face with both hands. She laughed as she took a step into the fountain. The fish-tailed man statue, which was observing Lin Sanjiu a moment ago, was now in the flower bed at the back of the courtyard. The statue, which was about five to six stories tall, was pushed over. It was lying horizontally in the flower bed with its fishtail pointing up into the sky.
"Five." Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to close her eyes.
In the darkness, the child statue's shrill laughter brushed past her like a gust of wind.
When she counted to six, Lin Sanjiu realized that all the large statues had hidden themselves. However, she still counted to ten as the rule of the pocket dimension required her to count to ten.
After opening her eyes, she looked at the five giant statues that had changed their positions and blurted out the word "cross".
She could see each and every one of them.
Even though the courtyard was vast, it was only for Lin Sanjiu.
The statue of the curly-haired man shrank its body and crouched behind the large high chair that was pathetically small compared to it. It covered its mouth with both hands, and its cheeks were raised high as it tried to stifle its laughter. Most of its face was exposed above the back of the chair, and it was looking straight at Lin Sanjiu.
The child statue stood behind a pillar. Its shoulders were exposed from behind the pillar. Its arms were still the same as when it was first carved. One of its hands was placed on its waist, and the other was hanging by its leg.
A female statue was hiding in the fountain. From the edge of the fountain, Lin Sanjiu could see the curve of a white plaster back. The kettle on its head was floating in midair.
As for the largest statue, the fish-tailed man, it was so strange that it was almost funny. It was lying on its side in the flower bed with its spear laid flat. Its head was hidden behind a lemon tree. The lemon tree was not even as big as its head. From afar, it looked like the lemon tree was wearing a plaster helmet. As for its body below its neck, it was completely exposed in the flower bed.
"Is this a joke?" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't bring herself to laugh at the scene in front of her. Instead, it filled her with an indescribable discomfort.
Even if she didn't open her eyes, she could still see the statue of the flower basket clearly. It had its back facing Lin Sanjiu, and it was squatting behind a set of stone table and chairs in the corner of the courtyard. Even though it was squatting, it was still taller than the chair. Half of the flower basket on the ground could be seen through the gap between the table and the chair.
"Who wouldn't be able to find the right target when it's so obvious? There must be something wrong … What is it? "
Lin Sanjiu hesitated and cautiously took a step forward. She said, "Are you done hiding? I'm coming to look for it."
The five statues seemed to be trying their best to hold their breaths and not laugh out loud.
Step by step, Lin Sanjiu walked toward the statue of the flower basket lady. To buy herself some time to think, she even pretended to look at other places. It turned out that it was a difficult and uncomfortable task to ignore the statue's empty eye sockets.
Lin Sanjiu walked to the side of the set of stone table and chairs and looked around. Then, she shouted at the back of the statue of the flower basket lady, "I found —"
Before she could say the word "you", the statue of the flower basket lady suddenly collapsed without any warning.
Everything happened before Lin Sanjiu could react. It was like a toy block that had been pushed by someone. It suddenly shattered into countless pieces, and the broken pieces tumbled all over the place. In the blink of an eye, there was a small mound of broken pieces on the ground.
At the same time, the statue of the child behind the pillar crumbled into pieces. Lin Sanjiu didn't manage to stop herself from saying the word "you" in time. Just as she was about to say the word "you", the pieces of rubble behind the table, chair, and pillar reassembled themselves and formed a complete shape. However, the statue behind the table and chair had turned into the statue of a child.
The statue looked at Lin Sanjiu with its empty eyes and laughed in a high-pitched voice.
"It's the wrong place, the wrong place! I'll deduct 5% of my stamina! "
