Lin Sanjiu and the item stood around the arrow and examined it for a few minutes. Then, the hope in Lin Sanjiu's chest dropped like a feather in the air.
No wonder she didn't see this row of arrows when she was playing hide-and-seek earlier. They were not affected by any external force. It was as if they had just grown out of the bricks. Obviously, they weren't left behind by a human.
There was no reward in the "Courtyard of Colossus". However, it seemed that the "Grand Palace of Confusion" would open a path for the winner after they cleared the Pocket Dimension. If she was right, it should be the path to the final reward, "Regret Medicine".
"I thought it was left behind by Puppeteer's humanoid item …" Lin Sanjiu sighed.
The sweater thread pointed to the exit, and the arrow pointed to the depths of the "Grand Palace of Confusion". It was obvious which way she should go.
As Lin Sanjiu followed the arrow, her eyes followed the sweater thread that disappeared into the bushes in the courtyard. She glanced at it again and again.
Before they started the Pocket Dimension, the sweater thread didn't lead to the left. During the half an hour when they cleared the "Courtyard of Colossus", the exit of the "Grand Palace of Confusion" had changed.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if her sense of direction was messed up or if the direction in the "Grand Palace of Confusion" was erratic … If [Merciful Mother] wasn't there, how could a normal person get out of the palace?
"No one knows how far we have to go after we enter the Grand Palace of Confusion and how many Pocket Dimensions we have to go through before we reach the place where the" Regret Medicine "is …" Lin Sanjiu whispered to her mentor, "Besides, what if these arrows are purposely taking us on a detour? If there are dozens of Pocket Dimensions waiting for us, we might die before we even get halfway. "
"I think you should rest for a while after you leave the perimeter of the courtyard," her mentor said worriedly. The tutor said worriedly, "You're still far from your peak condition. Who knows what the next dungeon will be like …"
What her mentor said made sense, but Lin Sanjiu was still worried. Under the influence of the word "Regret Medicine", she didn't know if Puppeteer would disregard his own life and continue forward even if he was badly injured. If she stopped to rest, it might mean that the gap between them would widen.
Lin Sanjiu had a guess as to why he would fall for the trap. With her personality, if someone lied to Puppeteer and told him that she was here to give him the "Regret Medicine", he would definitely believe her, right?
He wondered who had set up the trap. Was it Gong Daoyi?
As her imagination ran wild, the arrow led her step by step through the courtyard and up a flight of stairs. After exiting the wall, she entered a plaza. The Palace of Enchantment was really confusing. After walking past the wall, she arrived at a plaza. However, Lin Sanjiu did not even see the shadow of the palace.
The square was surrounded by all kinds of buildings. The arrowhead extended all the way to the center of the square and then stopped.
"Since you haven't cleared the second pocket dimension, the rest of the journey isn't open yet, right?" The mentor tugged at the corner of Lin Sanjiu's shirt. "Don't go any further. Take a break here."
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment before she stopped. After all, she was here to save people. She couldn't just throw herself in first.
The buildings in the plaza seemed to be pieced together randomly from different periods and regions. The style was so complicated and disorderly that it was dazzling. There were black spires in the Gothic style, luxurious and gorgeous carvings in the Baroque style, simple and streamlined designs in the postmodern style … There were even a few gray and square old-fashioned Soviet residential buildings in between.
Right in front of Lin Sanjiu were two modern display windows that were commonly seen in clothing stores. They were erected high up in the building. It was dark inside the display windows, and Lin Sanjiu could barely make out a man and a woman inside. They did not seem to have any signs of life. They looked like mannequins.
Even though Lin Sanjiu was very resilient, she did not want to trigger another pocket dimension so soon. She simply leaned against the wall behind her and sat down. When she took out a bottle of water, she also released the other two humanoid items.
"You guys are items, so you won't trigger the pocket dimension," she said. "You guys can help me scout out the situation around here. For example, you can give me information about the possible trigger points of the pocket dimension … But don't wander too far away. Just stay within my line of sight."
"I really don't do this," the Caster grumbled, "Ever since I started following you, I have not done any divination, but I have done a lot of chores …"
"You don't speak the human language when you do divination. Who wants to listen to your divination?" Lin Sanjiu waved her hand and sent her away. Then, she also chased the artist away like a herd of sheep.
The mentor seemed to think that he was different from the other humanoid items. He stood there with his hands behind his back and watched the two humanoid items walk away. Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She called out to him, "You go too."
Even though the plaza was huge, it was reassuring to Lin Sanjiu, who had just come out from the courtyard of the colossus.
She sat on the spot and watched the movements of the humanoid items while putting a few nuts and peanuts into her mouth. She had collected quite a lot of assorted fruits, so they were high in calories and were perfect for recovering her stamina.
Even though she had only used 50% of her stamina, she felt more tired than usual...
When she put her hand into the bag for the second time, she felt a heavy soreness in her arm. It was as if her muscle fibers were trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Sanjiu gasped for air.
When she pulled her hand out, she lost her grip on the chocolate. It fell from her trembling fingers and rolled away. She didn't even look at the chocolate. She raised her hand and touched her forehead. Her forehead was wet with cold sweat. No, that's not right.
In the ten minutes she sat down to rest, she was even more tired than when she first entered the plaza. She was on the verge of exhaustion.
"What's going on?" She hadn't triggered the pocket dimension yet.
When she called out to her mentor, her voice was much hoarser and weaker than Lin Sanjiu had imagined. Lin Sanjiu stood up slowly with the help of the wall. She called out again. The three humanoid objects realized that something was wrong with Lin Sanjiu and they ran back to her. The size of the square did not change, but it took them a long time to run back to her. It took them half an hour to run back to her.
"What's wrong with you?" The mentor was shocked. "Why is your face so pale? We left you less than ten minutes ago … "
"Less than ten minutes?"
Lin Sanjiu held onto the wall. She didn't dare to sit down anymore. She had already understood everything. Before the mentor could finish his sentence, she interrupted him with a hoarse voice, "The Grand Palace of Enchantment doesn't just mess up one's sense of direction, time, common sense, and rhythm … The more I rest, the more tired I get. I'm afraid I have to enter the pocket dimension immediately. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen next … How's your investigation? What's going on here? "
"Every building in this plaza seems to be a pocket dimension," the mentor was a little anxious. "The problem is, even if I can't trigger the pocket dimension, they don't look like easy targets. Furthermore, you are so tired … "
"No, there is a relatively safe one!" She hurriedly pointed at the shop window in the distance and said, "Believe me, although it's not the result of divination, I can see the 'aura' surrounding the dungeon … Just touch that shop window and you'll be able to trigger it."
"What kind of pocket dimension is it? Why isn't it dangerous? " It was impossible for Lin Sanjiu to cross the plaza. She had no choice but to squeeze out what was left of her Higher Consciousness and throw it out.
"I don't know. Anyway, I feel that its' aura 'is safer," Caster said confidently.
Lin Sanjiu could only trust her this time.
When Lin Sanjiu hit the shop window with her Higher Consciousness, the shop window suddenly turned dark. A moment ago, it was just a blur when the lights were off. Now, it was as if the room was filled with thick ink. Lin Sanjiu stood rooted to the spot. Her eyes were fixed on the display window. Suddenly, her gaze froze.
"What, what's wrong?" The mentor stretched out his hand and gestured in front of her. "Why did you suddenly stop moving?"
An unfamiliar voice came from Lin Sanjiu's tightly shut grayish-white lips.
"Number of participants: 2. Please wait for a moment. The pocket dimension will start once it is full. "
If I always write decryption or adventure-type pocket dimensions, I will get tired after reading too many of them, let alone writing them. So, I want to change my style and speed up the pace …
