Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1863 Lin Sanjiao Cat Also Has Spring
Dragging the large net of crushed plaster blocks, Lin Sanjiu approached the pool.

The Court of the Colossus dungeon ends only when the final step of the hide-and-seek - declaring that you have caught the target - is complete.Her statement was only the first sentence, as if the copy was hanging; in the silent silence of the child statue, she slid down to the edge of the pool, and glanced at the fountain standing alone in the middle of the empty pool .

"Once you realize the key to hide and seek, the truth is very simple."

She beckoned the mentor to come, and the latter trotted into the courtyard immediately; as an object, he could come and go without hindrance.

"In all hide-and-seek games, the target will hide, right? There is a saying that sounds like nonsense, but I still have to emphasize it." Lin Sanjiu smiled wearily, and said: "After the target hides, never On the face of it, it's gone, isn't it?"

"It's really nonsense..." The instructor just mumbled, and suddenly opened his eyes. "Eh?"

"That's right," Lin Sanjiu nodded, and said, "That is to say, the thing that existed before the game of hide-and-seek but disappeared after it started is the real target."

It's funny to say, it's such a nonsense, simple principle applicable to any hide-and-seek game - "find the missing thing", but it made her turn a blind eye to it, go around for a long time in vain, and lose half of her energy .

"What disappeared?" The instructor sat down just now, but now he got up quickly, looked around the courtyard, and said, "I can see that there is something missing..."

After the dungeon started, the courtyard returned to its original intact appearance, the cracks were re-fused, and half of the broken pillars also grew a section, which was complete again.Lin Sanjiu spent a lot of effort just now, precisely because she had to check these "extra" parts one by one, and then eliminated them one by one.

"No, the most conspicuous thing is missing." She said, loosened her consciousness, and pointed to the pool.

The instructor stared blankly at the pool.

"Before we triggered the dungeon," Lin Sanjiu said, "Isn't there a half-naked female statue standing in this pool? That's what I was looking for."

When the instructor gasped, the large pile of broken plaster blocks on the ground suddenly rolled up, and the spear points from the statue of the bearded fishtail man also fell to the ground—— In what seemed to be a brief moment, all the plaster fragments reunited and congealed into the original half-naked female statue.

It is about the size of a real person, standing quietly in the pool, as if it has never moved.

The gray and black marks, blurs and cracks left by time have eroded this heavy and fragile dead thing; compared with the other five giant statues, it looks especially dull and silent.

"Out, out..." the mentor murmured.

Only when Lin Sanjiu pulled his gaze away from it did he realize that the giant courtyard had once again become dilapidated and deserted.Vines and weeds climbed over the broken bricks and stones again, the bushes spread into a small wild forest, and all five giant statues disappeared.The wind blew across the courtyard, and a cloud of dust was blown up in the long-dried pool.

ended?
The last bit of uneasiness and doubt in Lin Sanjiu's heart also fell down like a boulder.

"It looks like there won't be another round, right?" The instructor obviously had the same worry just now, looking around and said.

Looking at it this way, the female statue in the pool is really like a switch: when it appears, the copy is off; when it disappears, the copy is activated.

"Before triggering the dungeon, we obviously watched the courtyard several times..." Lin Sanjiu smiled wryly, and said, "When the five giant statues appeared, I still saw the half (in brackets) don't look) the nude female figurines are forgotten."

Thinking back now, those five giant statues weighed heavily on the retina and nerves of a person, occupying all her energy and vision—those giggling laughter with standard pronunciation and shrill voice, and the drums when she covered her mouth to hold back her laughter. The raised plaster cheeks, the half of the face protruding from the back of the bench... Take your eyes off them, and it becomes a difficult and frightening thing to do.

"Then how do you know it's hidden in the fishtail statue?" asked the instructor.

"I didn't know at first." Lin Sanjiu felt exhausted as soon as he relaxed, and said with a sigh: "When I realized that this female statue disappeared after the dungeon started, I thought Well, its hiding method probably has something to do with broken plaster blocks... Isn't there a saying? The best place to hide a leaf is in the forest... All statues can be broken into plaster blocks and reassembled, in this In the process, there was a mass of plaster mixed in, isn’t it seamless? Unfortunately, I don’t know which statue it is hidden in.”

And if the plaster is distributed equally among the five statues, the hair of this one is longer, and the skirt of that one is one more piece, it will be even harder to find.

"However, when I calmed down and thought about it, I knew that the plaster that formed the real target would not be distributed on multiple statues... It's very simple, because if I grabbed more than one plaster block of the statue, I would be declared wrong immediately gone."

The instructor frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "I understand, the target is only hidden in one statue, and the two female statues with the flower basket and the water jug ​​can be eliminated."

"Yes, they are both the same size, even the size of the flower basket and the kettle."

But the remaining three statues are of different shapes, all bigger than the semi-naked female statue, and it is possible to hide it on anyone - this step has stuck Lin Sanjiu's thoughts for a long time .

The breakthrough came when she recalled grabbing part of the bearded mermaid statue.

"Do you remember what it looked like after I grabbed the plaster block of the Mermaid statue for the first time?" Lin Sanjiu saw the instructor nodded, and continued: "The amount of plaster is less, isn't it a little smaller as a whole? , but a piece of his face is missing."

This also means that the position of each piece of plaster is predetermined; the plaster that should be used to pinch the face will be missing, and the plaster of the body will not be used to make up for it.

"If the original size of the statue and the amount of plaster required are all fixed, then suddenly there will be an extra mass of plaster..."

"Ah, that's why you attacked the spear!" Before Lin Sanjiu finished speaking, the instructor immediately continued, "Because only it is an 'external object' and does not affect the original shape of the statue."

Although it seems to make sense in theory, Lin Sanjiu is not very confident in his deduction ability - after all, this is not an answer obtained through the mimic gift bag.

"Based on the size of the female statue in my memory, I roughly guessed its 'quality', and then used the method Kuizeji taught me to measure all the things in the courtyard..." Lin Sanjiu explained, "That That's when I realized that the 'presence' of the spear, or how its mass oppresses space, is very similar to that of the female statue. In other words, they require about the same amount of plaster."

And the No.14 round happened to be an excellent opportunity: the superficial target used to deceive people's eyes and the real target happened to be the same.

"If the apparent target wasn't the statue of the fishtail man, I might not even have the chance to grab the spear." Lin Sanjiu took a long breath before standing up from the edge of the pool.

Half of her physical strength was consumed, and she managed to finish the Colossus Garden dungeon, but when she stood up straight and looked around, she found that the surroundings were still dilapidated and empty; the entire Colossus Garden dungeon was silent, as if there was nothing just now. The way it happened, not to mention the rewards that ordinary dungeons will have.

"That's it?" Lin Sanjiu really wanted to knock on the female statue a few times if it wasn't for fear of activating the dungeon again, "I passed the dungeon, but it was a waste of time?"

"At least I saved my life, that's better than anything else..." The instructor muttered halfway, and was suddenly taken aback. "No, look!"

Lin Sanjiu looked in the direction he pointed, and found a faint pointing arrow on the brick and stone ground in the courtyard full of weeds and wild flowers.

The sweater thread on her body leads to the left; the indicator arrow is straight forward.

　Out of outline again!It's spent too fast, faster than money—no, when you think about it, it's still faster than money...
