I Was Once a Legend

"Its prompt is very obvious, and it is related to the direction." Dong Zheng stood in the grid with We, and said: "If the 26 letters are arranged according to the dial pattern it gives, they can be arranged in two complete circles, and the rest Y and Z correspond to the positions of twelve o'clock and one o'clock respectively.

"The direction at twelve o'clock is marked with N representing the north, so when the three letters AMY appear, it should move to the north, DP to the east, GS to the south, and VJ to the west. Every two directions represent the letters between the letters. The number should represent the distance moved.

“如果这样解读,句子的意思应该是北5南7东1南6北31西5北1东1北3。总的算，向北走27个单位,西走3个单位就是它暗示的位置。”

Everyone understood what he meant. Cui Zuojing crossed his arms and asked, "Then how do you determine the standard unit for each step?"

Dong Zheng obviously thought it over a long time ago, and immediately said: "It is impossible for the two children to use professional measuring tools here. I personally prefer that they use their own step lengths to count. A ten-year-old girl's step is probably... ...40 to 50 centimeters, you will know when you try it out.”

According to Dong Zheng's own one step is equal to two units, taking we as the origin, he walked thirteen and a half steps to the north and one and a half steps to the west.

Linhai found a plastic shovel from the cabin and handed it to him.

Dong Zheng took the position where he was standing as the center and dug down about 20 centimeters, when the shovel touched something hard.

Not long after, he dug out the whole box, brushed off the dirt on it, and opened it.

There are some small toys and shiny glass flowers that little girls will like, a few newspaper clippings, and a thin story book.

Dong Zheng directly pulled out a newspaper clipping. The title of the headline on it was large and bold, and it read "On June 6, a serious subsidence and flooding accident occurred in the mine north of the town."

The date of the newspaper is June 6, which coincides with the news mentioned in the diary. Dong Zheng browsed roughly. There is a coal mine in the north of this town. The coal mine industry is the economic pillar of this town, accounting for 21% of the residents are engaged in related work.

The flooding was the worst accident the town had ever experienced, because the underground water flooded the mine, and the rescue was too difficult. It was certain that the coal miners trapped in it had no hope of surviving.

Another newspaper clipping three days later published the list of victims of the mine accident, a very long list.

The rest of the clippings were full of stories, jokes, and riddles that kids would love.

Cui Zuojing picked up the small book at the bottom of the box, which was Agatha's adoption certificate.

Lin Hangzhi: "Is she adopted? No wonder, I think almost everyone in this school looks oriental, and she is the only one with blonde hair and blue eyes."

Allen: "It is precisely because of this difference that she is rejected. People will instinctively reject the collective and their own different individuals. Adults can consciously control it, but children never Take the trouble to hide your likes and dislikes."

And a certain page in the middle of the storybook is marked by a folded corner. The corresponding story is called "The Devil in the Mountain". It probably tells that a long time ago, there was an evil and terrifying devil on the mountain. It couldn't leave its lair for some reason. , so it called the children in sleep to the mountain, gave them the blood of the devil, and let the children go back.

The children back in town serve the demons, who grow evil and lure their friends and family to the mountains to feed the beings that gave them their blood.

This story was probably written to prevent the children from running around on the mountain, but Dong Zheng noticed that the first person who was seduced by the devil in the story was a girl, and she had long golden hair.

"Could it have anything to do with that? Because a character in a story has something in common with that little girl, to really treat her like a demon?"

Dong Zheng shook his head: "I don't know. Now we don't know whether the demon thing really happened or it's just a simple story, but I can be sure that Agatha must have suffered a lot because of her distinctive appearance."

There is no important information left, and they carry everything they can put away.After defeating the doll, Dong Zheng retrieved the toy teddy bear, holding its intact arm in his hand.

A group of people lined up into the cabin and entered the "Eye of Heaven" with the door open. The stairs spiraled downwards, with the plumb line as the central axis, and the steps were so narrow that they could only step on the edge of the spiral.

They went down about six or seven meters, and the temperature around them obviously dropped a lot. Finally, they passed through a small door and entered the empty underground courtyard.

This underground space is not big. There are five doors on the wall, one of which has been opened, revealing the pink room decoration inside.

Sure enough, someone came one step ahead of them.

When they first discovered that the door of the cabin and the eye of heaven were open, everyone felt that there were other pilgrims in the box besides them, and now they can finally guess with certainty.

Before Dong Zheng felt a wave like an earthquake in the classroom, it must have been made by those people.

Because when the task of collecting keys appeared, Dong Zheng had already obtained the key of the guard room from the guard, so he automatically took one of the two keys he had obtained as that, ignoring the possibility that other people had already obtained other keys.

The key that is not in his hand refers to the one marked in the manual, which is in the equipment room.

Dong Zheng distributed the keys to Lin Hangzhi, Dong Linhai and Ai Lun, each of whom happened to have one. After trying them in turn, they stood in front of the door corresponding to their respective keys.

Dong Zheng instructed: "These doors may take us to different places. If they are separated, we must pay attention to safety."

The crowd nodded.

Dong Zheng took a deep breath, glanced at Cui Zuojing, and walked in the door.

The moment he walked through the door, he didn't feel any discomfort, but Dong Zheng knew that he had indeed crossed the space. He looked to the side, and Linhai also walked out of another door.

Including the one that has been opened, all five doors lead to the same room, which makes Dong Zheng a little speechless. If this is the case, why are five different keys and five doors given?

Is it possible that there will be plots related to keys in the future?For example, the more doors you open, the more side stories you can unlock later, and the more rewards you will get for clearing the level.

Seeing that everyone was together again, Dong Zheng couldn't help laughing, and said: "Well, it seems that what I said a few seconds ago was for nothing."

"Good thing." Linhai observed the room, it looked like a toy room, the overall color was pink, the floor was covered with colorful children's foam boards, many toys and dolls were placed in the cabinets and opened boxes, and There are many scattered on the ground.

Allen picked up a screaming chicken at his feet and squeezed it hard. The yellow long-necked chicken immediately let out a sharp scream.

Lin Hangzhi beat him with a gesture of cooperation, and Alan started pinching the screaming chicken to pretend to wail again, which made Cui Zuojing's head hurt from the noise.

"Uncle, did you see something similar to this when you got the fragments?" Dong Linhai asked.

Although he agreed that he would not be of much help, Victor, who has always been a good man, still replied: "The style is almost the same, but it is not the same. I should have entered the center map of the box."

"So the ones in school are just foreshadowing?" Allen sighed, "As expected, it's out of the novice zone, the script process is so long."

Cui Zuojing popularized science: "It will be more difficult to wait for the back box. It is not uncommon to stay in it for ten days and half a month, but it is not a big deal now."

After a search, they found no clues or props, so they walked into the next room.

The floor of this room is made of black and white foam boards. The overall style is completely different from the previous one. It is simple and cold. The walls are painted with four suits of playing cards, knights, queens and kings, and clowns as big and small kings.

The Red Queen, a symbol of cruelty and cruelty, is painted on the ceiling, wearing a crown, staring indifferently at the pilgrims in the room.

Allen: "Speaking of it, I feel that the pilgrimage to the Pure White Realm seems a bit like a story."

Lin Hangzhi: "What?"

"Alice in Wonderland, you see, the highest ruler is the queen, and the queen brutally controls her people. We are like little Alice, who entered here by accident, and experienced various difficulties on the way to find a way out. Something weird, unheard of."

Lin Hangzhi was silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help laughing: "As expected of a kindergarten teacher, your association ability is good."

"The style of this house is very Alice, so I naturally thought of it."

Dong Zheng looked up at the queen on the ceiling, frowned slightly, Cui Zuojing was beside him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Is she the one we are going to meet on the pilgrimage?"

"It's not her." Cui Zuojing said softly, "In Alice's original book, there are eight kings and queens, corresponding to four suits. After losing the White Queen, the White Queen is generally regarded as a righteous existence who overthrew the tyranny of the Red Queen."

"And the Red Queen in the Pure White Realm has been dead for many years."

Dong Zheng looked over in surprise, and Cui Zuojing shrugged his shoulders at him, and said, "You don't have to say whether you can meet her smoothly, or you should focus on the matter in front of you first."

The next few rooms are similar toy rooms. Dong Zheng opened the door and entered the next room. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help breathing.

Thousands of dolls are piled up on the small high platforms on both sides of the room, all wearing gorgeous dresses, with various hair and eye colors, big and small, and with different expressions and makeup.Some of them are very realistic, like the most exquisite SD dolls, and some are ordinary dolls for children.

The spherical joints were exposed from where the clothes didn't cover them, and the lifeless eyes stared in a certain direction, motionless.

They are very human-like, but not so human-like, so even the most conscientious Allen has successfully felt the influence of the uncanny valley effect. The potential threat made his scalp tingle, and he quickly looked away.

Everyone was eager to leave the doll house, at this moment Dong Linhai snorted and pointed to a corner that was hard to notice: "That's so realistic."

Cui Zuojing looked in the direction of his finger, a life-size girl doll about 1.6 meters was sitting in the corner, leaning against the wall.She was wearing a navy blue dress, her waist and legs were covered by other dolls, her black eyes were staring at the opposite wall, her long flaxen hair was slightly curly, and a thin strand of hair around her ear was dyed dark blue, which made her skin more beautiful. Fair hair.

Her appearance was so lifelike that Dong Linhai was taken aback when he first saw it. If it wasn't for the fact that the doll's eyes hadn't moved from the beginning to the end, he would have thought there was a real person sitting there.

Cui Zuojing frowned thoughtfully, but said nothing.Lin Hangzhi urged: "Let's go, the more you stay in this place, the more scary it becomes."

A group of grown men had no interest in anything girls would like, and quickly walked out of the doll's room.

No one noticed that behind them, the eyelashes of the doll girl who was noticed by Dong Linhai in the corner slightly trembled.
