I woke up after 300 million years
Chapter 12 Midnight Escape
It is said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves. The female voice on the radio echoes in everyone's ears, especially the last four words "game begins", which touches the heartstrings.
Luo Die took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and observed the surrounding environment.
In front of the weird five-story building, there is a beautiful angel fountain, many benches placed in the corners, and a large number of cartoon-style balloons tied up.
Looking far ahead, the bell tower is not far from here. You can see the long forest corridor and the huge hot air balloon surrounding the bell tower.
"This is?" Luo Die frowned and whispered uncertainly, "The maze house area?"
Liu Qingtong lifted her feet off the ground, her two braids hanging on her chest, and wanted to fly high into the sky to look for Yan Fan's figure. Unexpectedly, the light of the crimson moon brought down a terrifying pressure.
"Hiss!" Liu Qingtong took a breath of air and quickly landed on the ground.
For a moment, she felt like she was being targeted by a monster and might be driven away at any moment.
"Trouble, an invisible force is preventing us from cheating."
Meng Xiaoxin, who had calmed down, was at a loss what to do. She recalled the announcement on the radio and asked with anger:
"Xiaodie, where are we going now? The clock tower? Or looking for our godfather?"
"I don't know." Luo Die was also confused. He stared at the open door and expressed his opinion, "Wonderful Paradise is too big. We may not find our godfather even if we walk all day and night. More importantly, there is only [-] o'clock left before midnight. Two hours.”
"I'm not sure if something bad will happen if I don't enter the bell tower within the stipulated time."
"In short, I want to find a godfather, but I'm worried about being attacked by more toys when the time comes."
After adjusting her mentality, Liu Qingtong said:
"Don't worry, the announcement will be broadcast throughout the park, we just need to wait outside the clock tower."
Suddenly, Meng Xiaoxin's pupils shrank and she pointed tremblingly into the distance, "I think it's better to run away first."
Luo Die and Liu Qingtong, who were discussing, turned around and saw a three-meter-tall violent bear slowly walking towards them. Its sky-blue fur was stained with blood, it had a love pocket on its abdomen, and it was holding a chainsaw in both hands.
"Woo...Xiaodie, electric, chainsaw bear!" Meng Xiaoxin was frightened.
"Stop looking and run!" Luo Die grabbed her best friend who was stunned on the spot and accelerated towards the forest corridor.
This violent bear should not be underestimated at first glance, it is three meters tall! And holding a chainsaw! The bright red color on the fluff is probably human blood. Maybe someone has been killed!
"Makabaka! Shatter!" Violent, no, the Chainsaw Bear started the chainsaw. Seeing the target running away, he also accelerated his sprint, one step at a time, a heavyweight monster.
Meng Xiaoxin collapsed, so she rested for one minute and then ran away again. This was simply a kind of hellish torture for her who weighed 1 pounds and didn't like to exercise.
"Stop chasing me, I'm not Makabaka, nor am I Sidisi, and I don't want to say good night to you!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Die's head was full of black lines. This best friend of hers was a weirdo with out-of-the-box thinking.
Seeing that her best friend was out of breath, she lowered her voice and guided:
"Don't talk, adjust your breathing rhythm, think about good things, fear is just a cloud."
"Beautiful, beautiful things?" Meng Xiaoxin gasped while running, her mind was racing with thoughts, and she swallowed, "cakes, barbecue, hot pot, skewers..."
Luo Die: "???"
Liu Qingtong: "..."
For a foodie, the best thing is delicious food.
"Makabaka! Shatter!" The chainsaw bear charged up, jumped more than ten meters, and slashed at the two women with the chainsaw in his hand.
Luo Die felt the coldness on her back and heard the sound of the chainsaw getting closer and closer. She didn't know the specific situation and didn't dare to waste time and look back.
"Be careful!" Liu Qingtong shouted loudly, but to no avail.
At the critical moment, an iron rod came from the front, passed the two women, and hit the chainsaw.
"Swordsmanship, Rigid Blade!"
It is obviously just an ordinary iron rod, but it is locked in a stalemate with a chainsaw, and its surface contains sword energy.
The two women stopped suddenly, dumbfounded. Even Liu Qingtong, a resentful spirit, found it incredible.
Swordsmanship?
I won’t be able to travel through time, right?
Does this kind of fantasy power to cultivate immortality really exist?
All kinds of doubts flashed through Luo Die's mind like a hurricane. She thought her godfather's magic was amazing and unique in the world, but now, sword control? Darling, it's much cooler than fire magic!
Da da da da, a young man in purple robe rushed over quickly. He had short hair, a round face, and upright eyes. He didn't have the air of an immortal, but he had a handsome and steady spirit.
The purple-robed young man held the iron rod with one hand, injected more sword energy, and cut off the chainsaw.
"Hmph, the methods of extraordinary people are mediocre."
"Oh, Makabaka!" The chainsaw bear was enraged, his eyes were blood red, and he raised his paw to take a picture.
The young man in purple robe took a step back to avoid the sharp edge. He used the iron rod as a sword and held it in front of his eyes, whispering:
"Three Thousand Worlds of Sword Dao, break Xiaoyao with one sword!"
With a slash of the sword, the chainsaw bear was split in two from the middle, with countless cotton and feathers flying.
"Too! So handsome!" Meng Xiaoxin's heart pounded wildly.
Luo Die was also moved by it. Although the routine of a hero saving a beauty is a bad idea, there is no doubt that it is effective. What's more, he is a handsome young man who can handle a sword, which is a real bonus.
After killing the chainsaw bear, the purple-robed young man turned around, pointed the iron rod at Liu Qingtong, and snorted coldly:
"A little monster dares to harm people!"
"Me? Harming people?" Liu Qingtong hid behind Luo Die and retorted, "Are you blind? How did I harm people?"
"It's useless to talk more. As cultivators, we must kill demons and eliminate demons as a matter of course!" The purple-robed young man took an arrow step, and sword energy erupted from the tip of the iron rod.
Liu Qingtong sensed the danger of death and cursed:
"Madman, kill them all with one stroke, indiscriminately."
She had no strength to fight and hid in the coin decisively.
"Disappeared?" The purple-robed young man stopped attacking and glanced around. He couldn't see or sense Liu Qingtong's breath, "You can run fast!"
The young man looked at the two women, restrained his expression of sadness, and comforted him in an approachable manner:
"Don't be afraid, girl. I'm Liu Feng, the second disciple of the great elder of the Sword Sect."
Luo Die: "Are you there?"
Meng Xiaoxin: "Sword Sect?"
The two women looked at each other and saw that they were confused about each other.
Luo Die gave her best friend a look like "Did I get the wrong script? Or was it an ancient time travel?"
Meng Xiaoxin responded with a "I don't know, but he is so handsome" look.
In fact, Liu Feng was adopted by the Sword Sect since he was a child. For the first time in 23 years, he went out on a mission with his master and came into contact with the colorful world for the first time. His words were not very down-to-earth.
At this time, in this situation, Luo Die did not dare to expose Liu Qingtong. He put his left hand into his trouser pocket, held the one-dollar coin tightly, and took out a dark gold lighter with his right hand and rubbed it.
......
Wonderful paradise, Tianshui Lake.
"It should be safe." Yang Tianjiao sat down on the ground.
His left arm and shoulder were bandaged with a cloth, his brand-name casual clothes were in tatters, and the hairstyle he spent an hour doing was completely gone, and his wretched appearance was completely different from that of the morning.
"Woo, where are we?" Jiang Yuxi squatted on the ground, hugging her knees and crying, weak, helpless, and pitiful.
Seeing this, another girl squatted down and comforted her softly, "Don't cry. As long as we rush to the bell tower before midnight, we will be saved."
"Yeah, there must be a lot of people gathered in the bell tower." Another man echoed.
They met by chance while on the run, both being chased by a group of toy soldiers.
Unfortunately, Yang Tianjiao was stabbed in the shoulder by a spear, but the other three were intact.
"Idiot!" Yang Tianjiao spat and sneered, "The unknown enemy wants us to go to the bell tower. It's obviously a trap. What? Do you want to let the sheep fall into the tiger's mouth?"
"You..." The man suddenly felt unhappy, but was held back by his female companion.
This woman is mature, dignified, and relatively rational. She analyzes slowly and calmly:
"While this may be a trap, it is undeniable that there is no choice but to go to the bell tower now."
"We have been to the gate of the paradise before. It is dark outside and there is no way to leave. What's more, there is no cell phone signal here, and the dolls come to life. We can't hold on for long with our own strength. We keep running away, and we will eventually die."
"Have you ever seen an escape room movie? If you want to break the situation, you must look for clues. I firmly believe that there is strength in numbers. Perhaps the clock tower has an exit."
Yang Tianjiao covered his injured arm, cut it, and said sarcastically, "You must have watched too many movies."
For him who has a stubborn temper and personality, he is unwilling to follow other people's arrangements and is mainly rebellious.
The mature woman shook her head and thought to herself: If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
The more dangerous the situation, the more we should unite as one. If a team has multiple voices or different ideas, it will be the beginning of death.
After resting for 3 minutes, the sound of gears turning was heard.
The four people were so frightened that they immediately stood up and looked left and right.
"Yes, over there!" Jiang Yuxi pointed behind the willow tree and hugged Yang Tianjiao.
It was a semi-finished demon doll body with facial features and a sly smile on its lips.
"Run!" the mature woman exclaimed, turned around and ran away.
The demon body opened its mouth, showing its neat teeth, and said in a human voice, "One, two, three, wooden man, you lose, hee hee."
This scene is extremely weird.
The crimson moonlight is reflected in the lake. On the rockery in the distance, the spring water trickles and the sound of gurgling water is pleasant.
Tonight is destined to be sleepless. In every area and corner of the mirror-carved world, as more and more toys and monsters wake up, the "lucky ones" who get the lottery tickets are facing a crisis.
There's still an hour and a half left until midnight.
Almost everyone is on the run.
......
Outside the huge clock tower, there was no one in the empty square.
In front of the square is a dreamy crystal corridor guarded by two rows of toy soldiers.
"We're here." The lovely Jianxuan exhaled a thick breath.
The honest and honest consultant Xin put his right index finger and middle finger together and said, "Wen Xin Sword, second style, it's too late to regret."
Using his finger as a sword, he swung the sword and cut all two rows of toy soldiers in half!
One large and one small stepped into the crystal corridor, always alert.
Consultant Xin lowered his head and glanced at the junior sister, hesitated for two seconds, and then asked:
"Xiaoxuan, do you really believe what that man said?"
"To be honest, what is the mirror carving world? This is beyond what I have learned. I don't think extraordinary people can create a world. I doubt..."
"Do you suspect it's an illusion?" Jian Xuan interrupted the elder brother's words and spoke first.
The consultant nodded inwardly, truly suspecting that he was in a hallucination. Everything was so bizarre that it could only be explained by hallucinations or dreams.
"Old Niu Tietou, please feel it carefully. Everything here is extremely real." Jian Xuan stretched out her hand across the crystal wall and said calmly, "Grandpa said that since ancient times, there has been a group of evil people who claim to be extraordinary and practice evil arts. Master special abilities.”
"Using mirrors to replicate the exact same paradise, I think extraordinary people can do it."
"You have to trust a woman's intuition."
woman? You 13-year-old girl...the consultant's confidant complained.
The two arrived at the Clock Tower Square, with dim street lights bringing weak visibility.
The red rope bell jingled crisply, and Jian Xuan continued:
"After a brief contact, I found that the monkey in the white coat seems to know many secrets, but he is obviously an ordinary person with no cultivation."
"In short, he has no ill intentions towards us, that's for sure, and he has no reason to lie to us."
Innocent! The consultant shook his head slightly and wanted to refute, but thought it was okay. His junior sister's character was timid and stubborn, so the probability of encountering danger was not high.
He changed the subject, "What kind of person do you think he is?"
As she stepped onto the stage in the square, Jian Xuan was wearing a purple dress and her long hair was flying. She looked up at the blood-red moonlight, her aura eyes flashing, and it took her a long time to speak:
"He...is bright but not shining, and still waters run deep."
Luo Die took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and observed the surrounding environment.
In front of the weird five-story building, there is a beautiful angel fountain, many benches placed in the corners, and a large number of cartoon-style balloons tied up.
Looking far ahead, the bell tower is not far from here. You can see the long forest corridor and the huge hot air balloon surrounding the bell tower.
