"Strange, how did we …" Miss Maid suddenly made a puzzled voice.
In addition to Dr. Görs and Snève, she also saw the temporary team leader, Boss Luo — but in fact, they were separated in the thick fog of the trial a moment ago.
However, the reality was that they inexplicably left the statue in front of the third level and returned to the [Roaring Forest].
"The time doesn't match … Why is it still daytime?" Dr. Görs looked at the sky and frowned.
The three of them looked at Luoqiu who appeared in front of them again after being separated, "Where's the female elf?"
"Miss Mayfair is dead." Boss Luo said slowly, "To be precise, Miss Mayfair is dead."
"She's dead?" Snève frowned subconsciously, "How could she be dead? We were still in the trial … She's dead? Then we came back here, which means? "
"If we walk a little further, we'll probably know something," Boss Luo said after thinking for a while.
Everyone's face slightly froze, and they didn't speak … They even felt a little strange — If their memories weren't messed up, except for the temporary team leader, the three of them should still be trapped in the third level of the trial.
"We did walk through this path." Dr. Görs thought at this moment and said, "When we first met Mayfair … I have some impression of this tree."
As he said, Dr. Görs quickly pushed aside some short shrubs that were as tall as a person and passed through — when everyone passed through one by one, they saw that Dr. Görs was already stunned in front of them.
Soon, they understood why Dr. Görs was stunned — Mayfair!
— You in the adventure team met an injured mysterious woman in the forest.
— Do you choose to treat her?
At the same time, everyone in the adventure team heard the prompt from the [Chessboard] again — but it was up to the master to decide whether to help or not.
At this moment, facing the female elf who was unconscious and lying on the trunk of the dead tree, everyone had different expressions.
"Did time really reset …" Dr. Görs couldn't help muttering at this time, "If so, our deduction in the second level of the maze was …"
— You chose to treat her.
Obviously, after the [Chessboard] gave the message, the servant girl, as the master, quickly made a decision … The same choice as before.
Dr. Görs had to treat Mayfair who was injured by the arrow again — but because he found the usable medicinal materials nearby last time, the efficiency was much higher this time.
They didn't say anything along the way. They were all doing the same thing, as well as strange things.
Then.
— You successfully saved a life that was about to disappear.
— But the appearance of the injured person was too bizarre, so you decided to investigate carefully.
— After discussion, you thought that this woman might live in the forest, so you planned to look for her relatives in the forest.
— You decided to split up and leave one person to take care of the injured woman.
"Sure enough, it's the same … exactly the same." After hearing the familiar prompt again, Dr. Görs calmed down and looked at everyone, saying, "The mission was reset … Or, it was reloaded. So, the place where we met Mayfair is the location of the save … How did Mayfair die? I need to know everything that happened after you were separated from us. I need to know every single detail. "
Boss Luo didn't hide anything and told them what happened in the temple before. But perhaps the news was too shocking, Dr. Görs and the others couldn't fully believe it.
"… You mean, the person who controlled the temple is Mr. Varley?" Dr. Görs was lost in thought.
"That's impossible, Mr. Varley has been outside all this time?" Miss Tina shook her head.
"Varley is here … Varley is here?" It was Mr. Snève.
Boss Luo said indifferently, "This is what I encountered before."
Dr. Görs rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's not that we don't believe you, but it's too strange … You know, we can't contact our masters at present. Only you can know what happened outside."
Tiff fainted, Chef Nelson was asked to prepare food … As for Mr. Snève's partner, Black Hound, he couldn't speak human language. That was to say, for Dr. Görs and the others, Boss Luo completely controlled their reception to the outside world.
"In fact, I can't contact my master now." Boss Luo shook his head and said, "You can't use any of the methods given by the chessboard."
They were silent again, and their eyes fell on Boss Luo … The original simple plot that they just needed to follow Boss Luo all the way seemed to be a little different from this moment on.
They found that they couldn't simply believe what Boss Luo said.
"What should we do now?" Mr. Snève suddenly looked at Dr. Görs and frowned, "Once?"
"Whether we want to or not." Dr. Görs said in a deep voice, "According to the chessboard, we can only do it once, right?"
"Mayfair is dead, and everything is back to square one. It seems that what we need to do is to make sure that she doesn't die." Dr. Görs said and walked directly to Mayfair. He used the herbs in his hand to grind another kind of medicine and fed it to the elf lady.
"What is this?" Boss Luo couldn't help but ask curiously.
"A temporary medicine that can make people sleep soundly." Dr. Görs said indifferently, "I need to figure out under what circumstances her time will be reset … whether she can't survive today."
"Doctor, are you planning to let her sleep until the end of the day?" The maid seemed to have understood what was going on.
Dr. Görs nodded and immediately said, "Now, we need to find a place to survive today … Do you have any other suggestions?"
Mr. Snève thought for a while and shook his head.
Boss Luo said that they could give it a try.
The game should be like this, after encountering a difficult problem, then start to think of a way to overcome it … If you play a game that can be defeated all the way, you will get bored of it, right?
…
…
"What happened?"
In the banquet hall of the castle, Ms. Gong Linna's voice suddenly sounded.
Because she found that the circle of light on the [Roaring Forest] on the [Chessboard] suddenly disappeared … and the servant cards of Ms. Maid's team suddenly disappeared and then reappeared.
But the place where they reappeared became the starting point when they originally entered the [Roaring Forest].
At this time, it was Ms. Maid's turn to throw action points. She had actually thrown action points for several rounds, but because the team was caught in the mission and couldn't move, the points had been saved.
But this time, when Miss Maid was about to pick up the dice, the dice moved away, skipped her, and went to the next Master Butler who was going to throw his action points.
"Oh? Did I encounter a punishment that forbids action? "Ms. Maid looked at Mr. Varley at this time.
Mr. Varley smiled faintly at this time, "There is such a situation, but it rarely happens. Generally, it only appears in a particularly important or very special mission environment, then it will be forbidden to throw action points. "
Ms. Maid chuckled and said, "In this way, it seems that I will lose a lot of points."
Mr. Varley said casually, "It's worth it no matter how many action points you use to exchange for such an opportunity. Prohibiting action points means that the final profit of this special mission will definitely be able to make up for the losses you have incurred in these rounds of actions. It will definitely be worth the ticket price. I'm so envious."
"That is after the mission can be completed." Ms. Maid said indifferently, "If it can't be completed, it means that you can only watch and can't do anything. But the life reduction will continue, right?"
"High risk, high reward." Mr. Varley waved his hand, then took the dice from the butler who had just finished throwing, "I said, it is worth it no matter how many action points are used. Oh, it's 5 points again."
Due to the previous use of the function card to jump directly to the [Roaring Forest], this time the 5 action points were enough for Mr. Varley's servant to go deeper into the [Roaring Forest].
But this time, Mr. Varley did not direct his servant to intercept Boss Luo like before. Instead, he let Kade Riley approach the butler's servant, Nan Xiaonan.
Each round of action points ended with Mr. Varley.
Then it was a new round of life reduction points. At this time, the dice were handed to Ms. Gong Linna. At this time, Tang Tianlin, the only servant who did not move in the [Roaring Forest], was currently near the center of the [Chessboard].
The mark there was: King City.
"Mr. Nelson seems to have been out for a while." Ms. Maid put on new gloves at this time, picked up the dice, and threw the life reduction points.
Next to her, there was already a pile of discarded white gloves. Ms. Cimisi didn't even have the urge to roll her eyes.
"High-end food often needs to be cooked patiently." Mr. Varley smiled and said, "I believe Mr. Nelson will definitely serve us an unforgettable meal."
Having said that, the butler looked at the ghoul bodyguards waiting on the side. The two ghoul bodyguards immediately understood and stood up.
"Let's go to the kitchen."
Mr. Varley looked straight at all the movements of the [Chessboard] and waved his hand without looking back, indicating that he agreed.
Mr. Varley, who looked as calm as an old dog, felt a strong sense of anxiety at this time. Did they find the inside of the temple? But it didn't matter, they should not find a way to clear the level.
At this time, Mr. Varley suddenly said, "Lesa, team up with me later."
"Yes, sir." The butler of the castle bowed at this time, but the butler was puzzled at this time. He found that his servant didn't seem to listen to him.
— Well, did I just ask her to go in this direction?
…
…
Next to the bonfire, time passed little by little — this was an ordinary cave in the [Roaring Forest].
They didn't follow the instructions of the [Chessboard] to explore the surroundings separately. Instead, they directly moved Mayfair who was unconscious after being fed the medicine and began to wait.
Dr. Görs calculated the time at this time, looked at everyone and said, "It should be midnight soon. Today will be over soon … the situation of this elf lady will probably be clearer."
"Mr. Görs seems to be quite familiar with the herbs here." Boss Luo suddenly said at this time, "The herbs collected from the forest can make Miss Mayfair sleep until now."
Dr. Görs said casually, "Mr. Varley used to bring out a lot of plants from the [Chessboard], most of them were given to me for research."
"That's also very good." Boss Luo smiled.
Ms. Görs said with a trace of pride, "You may not know, but Dr. Görs is actually a very good secret pharmacist, with the title of [Ghost Medicine's Görs]."
"That's really good." Boss Luo nodded.
Dr. Görs waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. The secret pharmacist is just a part-time job for fun. My main profession is still a doctor. However, as everyone knows, a doctor needs to know how to use medicine. I just learned a little more about pharmacology. My title and whatnot were all spread by outsiders. I didn't take it seriously. "
— It's not easy … Finally, I can pretend in front of this guy.
Boss Luo smiled and said, "By the way, you were still in the third level of the trial … Did anything special happen in the third level?"
Dr. Görs's expression changed slightly — Not only him, but Mr. Snève and Tina's expressions also became a little unnatural at this time.
"She changed!" Mr. Snève suddenly said at this time.
They all looked over and saw that a strange black pattern had suddenly appeared on Mayfair's forehead … The pattern began to spread all over her body, and after it bloomed, it actually grew many shadow arms.
It was the first time for the doctors and others to see this strange scene. They were all surprised and opened their mouths slightly … In this way, they watched Mayfair being wrapped by these shadow arms and then sinking into the darkness bit by bit.
Everything in front of them suddenly spun and disappeared.
…
When their vision recovered, they saw that the mottled sunlight had become dim after filtering through layers of leaves and falling on the soil full of rotten leaves.
They returned to the original place again.
"Everyone." Dr. Görs took a deep breath at this time and said seriously, "It seems that we are really trapped in this time loop."
