Three people walked in slowly and stood in the middle of the room, surrounding a huge box and looking at each other.
Cheng Che looked down at the strange box and said hesitantly, "Could this be Pinocchio's treasure chest?"
He and Xing had discovered this when they were picking up trash. The treasure chest at the Black Tower Space Station was very high-tech, the treasure chest at Yalilo VI was very simple and plain, the treasure chest at Rove was antique, and the treasure chest at Pinocchio...
It’s bright blue and sparkly, and it does look a bit retro and dreamy.
"Is that so?" Xing nodded, reached out, turned on the switch, and lifted up the entire lid of the box.
At the side, Liuying covered her chest with one hand and clenched her fist, looking very worried.
"Bang-"
There was a loud bang, and a white light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
Light came in from nowhere, and the door panels on all sides lit up, and the many televisions placed there also showed black and white snowy screens.
The white words floated in the air, and the ripples seemed to express the tone and emotion, trembling and making a faint sound like a ghost crying.
"Mikhail!"
"Take me away!"
"Help!"
Cheng Che took a step back, "Is there really a ghost?"
Hearing this, Xing patted Cheng Che's hand, but suddenly looked down.
The treasure chest disappeared, but...
Xing turned her head to look at Cheng Che's expressionless face, and couldn't help but say something mean, "Your hands are icy cold. If you're scared, you can beg me. Just call me sister."
Cheng Che: ...
Firefly: ...
Are you still so disdainful at this time?
Cheng Che moved his gaze to Xing's face and opened his mouth slightly, "Have you ever heard of a saying?"
"What?" Xing tilted his head in confusion. Even though the atmosphere was weird, he couldn't suppress his curiosity.
On the side, Liuying also looked at Cheng Che, waiting for his explanation.
"People with cold hands and feet must have been angels with broken wings in their previous lives." Cheng Che spread his hands, palms facing up. His ten fingers were slender and white, and the lines on his palms were clearly visible. "You pressed on my invisible wings, so my hands are cold."
star:……
Suddenly I don’t know what to say. I feel that this statement is a bit... youthful pain?
The gray-haired girl hopped two steps to the side and looked at Cheng Che with an innocent face, "Okay, move away."
"Understanding." Cheng Che put away his palm and tapped Xing's forehead, his eyes swept around, "You two go together, start from the door facing me, go all the way forward without turning, if you must turn, choose the left, first, we will try one by one."
star:? ? ?
Xing's face instantly showed the word "unbelievable" and her voice was full of confusion. "Aren't we looking for a way out?"
"Yes." Cheng Che nodded, standing in the center of the room and looking around, "There are so many identical doors. Based on my experience of reading books, watching TV shows, watching anime, and playing games, no matter which path you choose, you will eventually come back to me."
Hearing this, Xing frowned, "Aren't you afraid?"
My fingertips are so cold from fear, but now that I'm alone, I'm not afraid anymore?
"Don't worry, although the exhaustive method is troublesome, it is a scientific method. There is no magic in science." Cheng Che had a blank expression on his face. He generalized, acted arbitrarily, and was stubborn.
Liuying thought for a moment, "Why is there no ghost in science? Haven't you heard that the end of science is metaphysics? Do you think Star God is scientific? The Genius Club is quite scientific, but didn't it also get the Star God's glimpse?"
Cheng Che: ...
Cheng Che pursed his lips tightly and held Agu in his arms, "Science must be free of ghosts!"
"You are so domineering. Why is there no ghost in science?" Xing frowned and tried to argue, "Mr. Latio is still engaged in a debate, and you just beat the other debater to death and won."
Cheng Che's face was cold, without any fear, "I don't care about science or metaphysics, my science must be free of ghosts anyway!"
Don't want him to live?!
Chapter 634 You still dare to scare me
"Whoosh-"
"call--"
The two girls bent over, holding their knees and breathing heavily. They looked very tired and could not even run.
Xing stretched out his hand with trembling hands, and used all his strength to pull Liuying to Cheng Che's side. He said with despair, "I can't remember how many gates we ran through. I'm tired. I didn't even feel this tired when I fought Huanlong."
At the side, Liuying was also panting, her voice trembling, "I... I'm sick, I can't run..."
Although she envies others for having a healthy body, a healthy body cannot be created this way!
Circle after circle, there was no unusual sight, and even Cheng Che had the final say on which door to go through.
Hearing this, Cheng Che nodded, "Let's go one last time. I'll go with you."
"Ah? One more time?" Xing raised her head in disbelief, her pupils trembling, "You've made my legs twice as thin as before!"
"Isn't that good?" Cheng Che glanced at Xing and put away the napkin in his hand.
There are a few crooked lines drawn on it, which looks like a reverse map of the surrounding environment.
Cheng Che glanced at the identical doors around him, picked one that he liked, and pushed the two girls along. "You said... halfway through the walk, I found myself passing through some strange place, as if the space was twisting and turning..."
He thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xing, "So you and Liuying never thought about turning back before passing through the space distortion?"
star:……
I've thought about it, but never tried it.
"What's the difference?" Xing frowned, looking very puzzled. "If I can go through and come back, then if I turn around, won't I still come back?"
"There is a difference. Look at which door you turned around and came out from." Cheng Che spread his hands, crumpled the napkin into a ball, and completely gave up the idea of drawing a map. "The map can be drawn, but it's still a cycle back and forth. We have walked through every door, but we end up back here, so..."
Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, "We're following the plot! We can't skip it!"
Cheng Che: ...
Cheng Che looked at Xing's eyes with a strange look and whispered, "For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this broken dimensional wall was broken by you or by my curse. You always..."
Such ridiculous words are always said to make it seem like there is no need for this dimensional wall to exist.
Forget it, it’s broken.
It definitely wasn't his curse.
Xing waved his hand indifferently, "It makes no difference, they are all broken anyway."
Cheng Che: ...
That's true. If it wasn't broken, how could he get here?
Cheng Che sighed, followed the two girls' footsteps and stopped in the middle of the corridor.
He raised his hand to feel the direction of the air flow in the corridor, and stood in the corridor with his head down thinking.
Xing frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Che in confusion, "What are you thinking about? Are we in danger?"
"No."
After a moment, Cheng Che shook his head.
He pressed Xing and Liuying's shoulders to signal them not to move forward, and took two steps forward.
The young man's figure changed direction in an instant, facing the stars and fireflies that remained in place.
It was as if Cheng Che had just walked in from the other end of the corridor.
Liuying and Xing widened their eyes and simultaneously asked in confusion, "Huh?"
How did it turn around?
Could it be that……
It would be the same whether they went on or turned around and went back?
"Let's go back." Cheng Che walked forward, but after two steps he couldn't help but look back and muttered, "It's quite fun, but a little scary."
This technology is great. How much money can be made if it is used in a haunted house?
but……
Cheng Che patted his head and said, "Capitalism, get out of my head."
He doesn't want to become a black-hearted capitalist!
"Then how do we get out?"
Xing frowned and walked forward, holding Cheng Che's wrist tightly with one hand and holding the bat with the other, seeming a little confused, "We are trapped in a room with no exit."
"Yes." Cheng Che said calmly, "There is a way out, at least for me."
The anchor point escape method can still be used, but the fireflies and stars may not be.
"Are we going to do it like we did in Suiyuan?" Xing looked confused, recalling the scene where Cheng Che had violently broken the impasse, "kicked the bronze mirror, snatched away all the illusions, and demolished the haunted house?"
that……
Xing's eyes lit up instantly and stared at the TV in the room in front of her.
After looking at it for a while, Xing felt disappointed again, "What a pity, I can't take it out, otherwise I could sell it for a lot of money."
On Cheng Che's other side, Liuying put the hem of her clothes into Cheng Che's hands to ease his fear, and then looked at Xing in confusion, "Are you short of money?"
Did Kafka forget to leave the wallet for the child when she sent Xing to the Star Train?
Why does it feel like Xingxing is a money-grubber?
I was rummaging through trash cans everywhere, feeling like I was going to run out of food soon.
"You can never have too much money." When talking about money, Xing looked serious and took the lead to walk into the huge room and look around. "Even if we can't sell it, we have to find a way out. I suddenly feel like I have inherited the destructive desire of our star core hunter!"
As he spoke, Xing waved the bat in his hand.
Cheng Che sighed slightly and looked around, "Didn't you feel it before? I've never seen a garbage collector smash the trash can after searching it—"
