"Oh oh oh!"

"Ronald, what does it feel like? It's so interesting! ”

"Also, where are we going now? I'm listening to this prompt to get us out of the Arctic continent? ”

"Is it okay to go back the way you came?"

After the ability of "Labyrinth Picture Book" was expanded, everything that happened in front of her suddenly made Nicole very excited.

At this moment, in addition to the dark underground caverns around her, which have become a bright set like cute oil paintings, the investigator girl even jumps up excitedly after discovering that her body has also become like a picture book character.

Even though her appearance has changed to a cartoonish style, you can still see the eager look in it.

"Hurry up, teach me how to do it!"

“……”

However, next to Nicole, Ronald's face was not very good-looking.

Because he realized that he had made a mistake.

Because when activating the "Labyrinth Picture Book" just now, he put all his energy on the length of the seal, so there is a detail in the maze chase game that was missed by Ronald.

The ultimate reward of the game.

Naturally, the losing side was sealed here for a hundred years.

But on the conditions attached to the victory of both the pursuers and the fugitives, Ronald forgot to modify them.

So now, as fugitives, if they manage to escape the Arctic continent before being caught up by the dust monster Shirakawa, then they will not teleport back to the location where the game started, but will stay where they arrived in the maze.

So when the time comes, the game wins.

Ronald also had to return to the Arctic continent to find the expedition that was still heading towards the North Pole.

“……”

"Whew-"

"Nicole, calm down, it's time for us to go."

Ronald took a deep breath and quickly sorted out his emotions, and at the same time calmed Nicole's emotions, his eyes quickly swept around at the moment.

Under the interference of the ability of the original canon of "Labyrinth Picture Book".

The surrounding environment has naturally become as bright and colorful as the cartoon world. In front of Ronald and Nicole, a staircase spirals up the crack, leading to where they came down.

Below.

Since the dust monster Shirakawa was still asleep when he was caught up in the spell, it was not directly responsible for chasing it as the chaser of this maze game.

Instead, on the surface of the dust beast, milky white bubbles were seeping out of the white lake and gradually merging with the surroundings.

Ronald and Nicole's subsequent escape.

It is supposed to be the object after the assembly of the white substance is completed. As for the brewing of the other party at this moment, it is also the advantage period for Ronald and Nicole to escape in advance.

"Follow these steps up."

"Anything else, let's talk as we go up!"

With a simple command, Ronald naturally followed the path and left.

But behind him, Nicole was still a little lingering because of these interesting scenes.

"Ronald!"

"I really can't use my spells, it seems that all my abilities have been completely locked!"

At this time...... There must be no delay.

Seeing that the investigator girl was still excited about this, Ronald went up directly and grabbed the other party's right hand, dragged Nicole with an undeniable force, and ran directly up the road.

"My little ancestor, don't delay time at this time!"

“……”

The two of them dragged all the way up.

Because it is a cartoon-style world, while being grabbed by Ronald, Nicole turned into a cute villain, like a rag doll, being dragged upwards one by one.

Under the actions of the two of them, there were even some twisting lines around them, symbolizing the dust they stirred up when they moved quickly.

And in this state.

Nicole, who shook it off and shook it, didn't forget to continue to ask:

"Ronald, common law can't do such a thing!"

"So is this the art of perfection? Do you have complete mastery of the original text? ”

Ronald finally couldn't help but turn around, and tried to squeeze Nicole's beanie eyes very viciously.

"Nicole, do you want to be sealed here for a hundred years?"

"If we do fail the game, I can't guarantee that we will be able to rescue you!"

Only then did Nicole admit defeat and squeeze her eyes, making her beanie eyes switch back and forth between horizontal and vertical lines:

"Okay, okay, I got it~~"

“……”

The labyrinth of the first stage, winding over the diagonal cracks.

Even though Ronald had good sight, in the process of continuing to rise, they encountered rolling stones and a time-lapse mechanism that suddenly appeared.

I can't figure out when, the inexplicable bouncing out of the stone will be thrown at the two of them.

If you are pushed directly into the abyss or smashed down by this kind of mechanism......

Then bumping into Shirakawa's body, or being easily caught up by the follow-up chasers, is naturally the ending that goes without saying.

Ronald also understands this dangerous situation.

Because he had set the sealing time at a hundred years, this labyrinth was naturally quite unfriendly to the two fugitives, and it was not surprising that they would encounter such obstacles on the way.

Fortunately, both Ronald and Nicole are very smart.

After a few thrilling encounters, they finally made it up the stairs to the top of the cave.

Also because of the transformation of the painting style of "Labyrinth Picture Book".

The underground cave that was previously embarrassed by Nicole has now become a special area like a secret base, with large and small spiral mounds scattered everywhere, and it is a paradise full of fun.

At the first moment, Ronald naturally began to observe his surroundings and decide on a path forward.

Nicole, on the other hand, walked on her own little thick legs.

Standing next to the crack, he squeezed his eyes down and glanced down:

"Ronald, they should have five minutes or so to coalesce and form, and we're going to be ready for the pursuit."

Just watching the process of the other party's body condensing like this, Nicole made a very accurate estimate of the automatic predator secreted by Shirakawa below, which fully reflected Nicole's professionalism as an investigator.

But after this very professional assessment......

It's a cartoon-style investigator girl.,Attention immediately shifted to another aspect.。

I saw her walk behind Ronald in two steps, looking at Ronald with a serious face, but also cute because of cartoonization, Nicole immediately stuck it behind Ronald like an eraser, and then touched it to try the feel:

"Speaking of Ronald, why did you set the time to a hundred years?"

"The limit of this spell is here, or do you have any other considerations?"

"This is a decision made from a practical point of view." Ronald didn't care about Nicole's study of her body at all, his eyes stayed on the cave structure that circled like a bagel around him, and he didn't even look back at Nicole's thoughts, "A hundred years has already brought us so much trouble, if it is set to be longer, I'm afraid we will be cocooned." ”

After briefly answering Nicole's question, Ronald also re-planned the route in this very short time.

Then, he continued to pull the investigator girl behind him.

In the real physical sense, he ran outside in a 'puff of smoke'.
