Chapter Seventy-Two: The Cliff of Illusion
Talking and laughing all the way, the two came to the door of the circus tent in the market area of the Waujin Temple.
There was a town guard with a spear at the door, Luo Feng and Tang Xiaotian were stopped by him with a gun, and the guard scolded:
"Stop! The tent has been closed to protect the safety of the population, and the circus must wait until the whole thing is settled before it can reopen. ”
Luo Feng said: "We are the adventurers who came to solve the problem after getting the news, and please let us go in and rescue the trapped people." ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, put away his spear, and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to add new trouble because of you. We've lost a whole team of men in this tent, and you don't necessarily do better. ”
"We got the news that a lot of people entered the circus and never came out, and something strange had happened inside."
Luo Feng said: "Obviously, evil magic is involved in this, do you want to wait for someone from the Masked Mage Guild to come and solve the problem?" Those masked mages could reach the scene in an instant as long as they opened any door, but they hadn't appeared yet, and they were probably in trouble, too busy to take care of themselves, and they didn't know how long they would be delayed. Are you just waiting? Your comrades are in the dark of life and death, and the longer it drags on, the more likely they are to be killed. ”
The guards were moved by Luo Feng's words, and their expressions were a little shaken.
Luo Feng continued: "We are experts in dealing with this kind of problem and have a lot of experience in adventure, why not let us give it a try? Maybe we can help you solve the problem, and even if we fail, we have no loss to you. ”
The guards got out of the way, leaving the open tent gate to Luo Feng and Tang Xiaotian. "Well, if you're going to risk your lives, I'm not going to stop it. Don't forget that I warned you. ”
Luo Feng thanked him with a chest salute, and walked into the circus with Tang Xiaotian, and as soon as the two of them stepped into the gate of the camp, the whole world seemed to change.
After all the illusions were settled, Tang Xiaotian found herself at the end of a strange bridge, and the wind was still blowing on her cheeks and blowing her hair.
At the other end of the bridge is a towering hemispherical tower, the gates of the circus' tent are gone, and the only path behind it is the path that leads to the distant dark wilderness, which seems to never end.
There was a giant spirit with a coiled turban and a scimitar standing on the bridge, and when he saw Luo Feng and Tang Xiaotian walking in, he laughed and said, "Aha, there is a traveler coming to this place, Kara must be very happy to know it!" You have to answer a puzzle, and if you get it right, I'll let you cross the bridge. You ready? ”
Tang Xiaotian knew the direction of the plot, as long as she solved a very simple math problem, she could pass the test of the giant spirit, she was about to step forward to solve it, but Luo Feng sneered first: "I don't want to answer any boring puzzles, good dogs don't get in the way, give me a flash!" ”
The djinn laughed again: "Hahaha, you really make me feel ridiculous, whatever temper you want to lose, I won't let you pass anyway, unless you can solve this puzzle!" ”
"I see why you won't let me through!" Luo Feng said as he walked towards the djinn.
Tang Xiaotian pinched her sweat, she knew that the giant spirit was a monster that was not easy to mess with.
In the original story, if Chanem answers two puzzles incorrectly in a row, the djinn will attack in anger, and it can use instant death magic such as "Law: Death", which once unleashed, kills immediately unless it can pass the immunity test.
The giant spirit really started chanting the spell when Luo Feng approached him, but Luo Feng turned a blind eye, and when he saw that he was about to crash into the giant spirit, he didn't interrupt it to cast the spell, and walked straight over and passed directly through the body of the giant spirit!
After Luo Feng passed through the body of the giant spirit, the giant spirit wailed, spun and shrunk, and finally disappeared completely.
"Captain, how did you do that?" Tang Xiaotian asked in surprise: "In the original plot, if you don't want to answer the question and force yourself to cross this bridge, you have to kill the giant spirit." ”
"It's just an illusion, as long as you can see through the essence of the illusion, you don't need to act according to the rules of the person who weaves the illusion."
Luo Feng beckoned to Tang Xiaotian and asked her to follow, and the two walked onto the bridge guarded by the giant spirit.
Walking on the bridge deck paved with obsidian and glazed bricks, Tang Xiaotian curiously glanced under the bridge, but found that under the bridge was a deep void, with no water flow and no ground, only a little starlight.
Luo Feng suddenly stopped, glanced at Tang Xiaotian, who was secretly observing the situation under the bridge, pointed under the bridge, and said, "Tang Xiaotian, I order you in the name of the captain to jump down!" ”
Tang Xiaotian was suddenly stunned, and looked at Luo Feng dumbfounded, not understanding why he gave such an order.
There's no option to jump off the bridge in the plot.,It's clear that you should walk across the bridge and enter the hemispherical tower on the opposite side of the bridge.。
"Team...... Captain......" Tang Xiaotian pulled the corners of his mouth and pulled out a far-fetched smile: "You're not kidding, are you?" ”
Luo Feng didn't look like a joke at all, his face was gloomy, his eyes were round, and he was not angry and arrogant.
"Oh, won't jump?"
Luo Feng said with a gloomy face: "Repeatedly disobeying the captain's orders, Tang Xiaotian, it seems that you really don't take me seriously." ”
"No...... No. ”
Tang Xiaotian was stunned, she had already put her mind at ease, thinking that she was just following the captain to make soy sauce and accept the captain's intimate personal protection on this circus trip, but she never expected that the captain would trick her into coming here to clean her up.
Entering the illusion space, she told that the earth should not be called every day, and she couldn't run away if she wanted to, and she couldn't send a message to the headquarters for help or report the captain's evil deeds.
She died here, the captain can say whatever he wants when he goes back, at most he will be subject to a small punishment of poor supervision, and the main god research institute does not know how many investigators will die in the plot world in a year, no more than her, no less than her.
Under Luo Feng's forced gaze, she trembled and walked to the side of the bridge, stepped on the railing of the bridge, and stood on the cliff on the verge of endless void.
She glanced back at Luo Feng, and saw that the man was expressionless, his eyes were indifferent, as if he didn't care about her life or death, and her chest hurt for no reason.
Why did you come to Liberty City with him in the first place? Why did you work so hard to become an investigator of the Lord God?
I thought that meeting him again would start a romantic love journey, and after traveling through the heavens and worlds, I would find a peaceful harbor and build a warm home there......
She would never have guessed that the man she had secretly had a crush on for three years would force her to jump off a cliff.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaotian shed tears, she suddenly felt that life and death were nothing to be afraid of, gritted her teeth and jumped into the dark abyss.
