The Trial Game of Life

Tang Cuo's choice to go authentic was actually inspired by Jin Cheng.

Jin Cheng wanted to lure Peter out with a fake news, while Tang Cuo was thinking about the surprise in the tunnel that Aesop said.His main task is to send Buzz back to the Ivy League office, but once sent there, the task may change. Under the system restrictions, whether Tang Cuo can return to the tunnel becomes a problem.

The best way is to check out the authentic things on the way back.

But there is another problem here. Tang Cuo has walked through the tunnel once, and there is no fork in the tunnel, and there is no trace of the magic circle. It is ordinary, so where is the so-called surprise?

After the Ivy League took over the tunnel, they must have checked it carefully, but no news came out.

Therefore, after Tang Cuo noticed Jin Cheng's plan in the carriage, he suddenly had an epiphany and decided to use Buzz to solve the authentic puzzle.

Tang Cuo's conjecture about authenticity coincides with Jin Cheng's. From last night until now, he has been thinking about where the missing corpses went and where Peter was hiding, until he heard Aesop's words.

If there is a network of tunnels extending in all directions under the Faran, then everything can make sense.Aesop asked Tang Cuo to go back to the tunnel to check again, which meant that there was a passage leading to other places in this tunnel.

However, the passage that neither Tang Cuo nor the Ivy Alliance could discover must be hidden deep enough, and the fastest way is to let the enemy expose it by itself.

When the carriage was attacked, it was reasonable for Tang Cuo to take Baz to the tunnel.The Rose Sect shouldn't have guessed that Aesop had revealed the secret of the tunnel, so they would most likely use the tunnel to capture Buzz.

This is called surprise.

So Tang Cuo also planned to surprise the other party.

In the dull tunnel, the magic lamp elongated the figures of the two.

Tang Cuo didn't walk fast, and hit the wall with the hilt of his sword as he walked.Although he played a game to attract people to the bait, it is still unknown whether the other party will come, so Tang Cuo decided to look for it himself.

Buzz asked curiously: "Theodore, what are you doing?"

Tang Cuo: "There may be something hidden in the tunnel."

"Oh." It was the first time Buzz came to this kind of place, looking around.Tang Cuo's deliberate slowing down also gave him time to look around, but he couldn't see anything after looking for a long time, so he continued to ask: "Theodore, where is this? Why have I never heard of such a thing?" place?"

Before Tang Cuo could answer, he scratched his head and said, "Should I not ask more questions?"

"It's okay." Tang Cuo didn't say much.

The deeper he went into this story, the more he felt that it was a real world.Buzz is different from Madoka, handsome, and those grotesque creatures in Devil City. He has his own story and emotions, which makes it difficult for Tang Cuo to simply regard him as an NPC.

And it's not just Buzz, everyone in this dungeon is like this.

Perhaps the mystery of role-playing copies lies in truth.

"Buzz, do you remember when we first met?" Tang Cuo asked.

"Remember." Buzz happily opened the conversation, "Theodore, you have always been a brave and kind knight. At that time, I was ill and had no savings, so I had to take on long-distance delivery work. You know , This is more profitable than working in a tavern, but my health is not very good, and the heavy cargo is almost crushing my back, you came to help me."

Speaking of this, Buzz was beaming, "A noble Mr. Knight helped me deliver a case of wine. When I mentioned this to everyone, they always didn't believe me. But it doesn't matter, Theodore, it doesn't change that we are The fact of being friends. We're friends, aren't we?"

Tang Cuo: "Yes."

Buzz was happy, he was happy that he had a bard and a knight as friends.He still remembered the new jam pies from Beibei House, and said again: "Theodore, have you eaten with Lancelot? It's delicious."

Tang Cuo shook his head.He and Jin Cheng were busy with tasks, and did not walk around the streets looking for delicious food.

Buzz was slightly regretful, and then said: "Then the three of us will eat together next time, and I will get my reward in a few days. Although it is not much, a few jam pies are still affordable !"

The tunnel was very long, and their speed was not fast. After more than half an hour, the two of them didn't go far.In the middle, Tang Cuo saw a rose sect logo on the wall, so he asked Baz if he recognized it, and Baz shook his head.

For ordinary people, the Rose Sect is still a very unfamiliar name.

Keep going.

After another 10 minutes, Tang Cuo stopped.According to calculations, this place should be approaching the edge of the White Leaf District, but there is still nothing unusual about the tunnel.

Could it be that the judgment was wrong?

Or was Aesop deliberately teasing him?

Just at this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the tunnel, which blew out the magic lamp.Tang Cuo was instantly alert and drew his sword to protect Baz behind him.

Changeable accidents happen in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!" Baz behind him suddenly exclaimed.

Fortunately, Tang Cuo always remembered the real purpose of the enemy, and immediately grabbed Baz's wrist without saying a word, and at the same time raised his sword and slashed behind him—a fork suddenly appeared on the wall behind Baz, and a person in a black magic robe Grabbed his other wrist, trying to take him away.

Tang Cuo slashed with his sword, the man didn't expect Tang Cuo's reaction to be so fast, so he had to retreat temporarily.

A miraculous scene appeared. After the man retreated into the fork, the fork disappeared automatically.Only Tang Cuo and Baz were left in the dull tunnel, as if what happened just now had never happened.

"Just, was that just now? Magic?" Buzz was so surprised that he even forgot the danger he encountered just now.

Tang Cuo frowned and didn't answer.There were indeed subtle magical fluctuations when the fork appeared and disappeared, but it was gone now. Even if Tang Cuo put his hand on the place where the fork appeared just now, he didn't feel anything.

He slashed at the wall again with his sword, and the wall was damaged, revealing the hard stone inside.

The fork is gone, which probably means it is active.

There is no way to determine the specific location of the passage that can be moved. No wonder the Ivy League did not find out the clues.However, the secret to opening the passage is in the hands of the other party, unless you break into the passage when it appears, there is no solution.

Tang Cuo held the sword tightly, thought for a few seconds, and took Buzz away without hesitation.

Now that the authentic secret is known, the primary goal now is to complete the main mission and let the plot continue.

But the enemy obviously didn't want Tang Cuo to leave with this secret.

"Boom—" The forked road flashed in front again, and the magic attack was released simultaneously, and the raging fire rushed towards the face.

It was too late to retreat, Tang Cuo immediately moved forward with his sword horizontally, the holy light flashed on the sword, and a transparent light shield engraved with complex magic patterns popped out of the sword, spinning and zooming in front of the two of them.

This is the skill triggered by Tang Cuo smearing his own blood on the sword when he was fighting against Aesop. He later checked the system panel when he was resting in Baz's rental house and found it. The name is very easy to understand, it is called - Holy Light shield.

The flame hit the shield, and the strong force blew Tang Cuo's clothes, but no trace of flame could pass through the shield.

The enemy did not expect this move, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he escaped into the passage again and disappeared.Tang Cuo didn't dare to relax any more, he swung his sword and took away the shield, keeping an eye on his surroundings from the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, "Dang!"

Tang Cuo turned around and struck, just in time to hold a large sword that had been chopped off.

This time, the passage flashed behind the two of them.

Baz hid behind Tang Cuo tightly, not daring to stay away or get too close. Seeing the cold light flashing on the sword, his heart was almost in his throat, and his whole body was stiff.

But the opponent came prepared, and it was a combination of a swordsman and a magician. One restrained Tang Cuo, and the other came straight to Baz.I don't know if there are still in the dark, and there are dangers everywhere.

"Theodore!" Buzz exclaimed.

Tang Cuo swung his sword away from the swordsman's attack and turned back to defend.His movements were quick, and he used the square inch distance to sprint, pulling Baz back in the blink of an eye.

Of course, such an abnormal use of skills made his brain a little dizzy.He sprinted and stopped, shaking dizzily.

Tang Cuo's face became a little pale because of this.

Baz's face was also a little pale, and he was frightened, because Tang Cuo's sword was resting on his neck, as long as he lowered his head, he could sweep the blade glowing with cold light, it was cold and terrifying.

"Si, Theodore?" Buzz's throat was dry.

The enemy was also shocked and looked at Tang Cuo in disbelief.

Tang Cuo's face was expressionless, the hand holding the sword was a little tighter, and his tone was cold, "Don't move, if you move again, I will kill him."

The entire tunnel could be heard instantly.

Only the system notification sound of "Ding, Ding" sounded in Tang Cuo's mind, which was the system reminding him that he had violated the human settings.But Tang Cuo ignored it and remained calm.

At this time, the magician on the other side suddenly sneered, put away his astonishment, and said, "Don't try to scare me, you dare not do it at all!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a bloodstain on Buzz's neck.Tang Cuo raised his eyebrows, and a hint of indifference and provocation appeared on Theodore's handsome and upright face, "You can try."

"You!" The other party's face was ashen, "What do you want to do? He is your companion!"

Tang Cuo: "If you let him fall into your hands, it is better to kill him. What do you want to take him to do? Continue your evil deeds? I don't think he will be happier than death if he falls into your hands."

Saying so, the prompt sound in Tang Cuo's brain weakened a little.

Tang Cuo grasped the key point and continued, "I will not let my friend become a tool to spread evil. I would rather kill him and avenge him."

At the same time, Tang Cuo secretly wrote on Baz's back with his other hand, telling him that this was just a trick.

After the word is written, the "ding, ding" prompt sound completely disappears.

The enemy was completely angry, but not only because of Tang Cuo's act of threatening them, but because of his "evil" that he kept saying, "You stupid people will never be able to see the real light. Your friend is already dead , died suddenly in misery in the cold winter night in Baiye District, but he is still standing here, why?"

"Because he has received eternal life from the Immortal King."

Hearing this, Buzz's eyes widened in astonishment, he even forgot that there was a sword around his neck, and he was eager to ask what was going on.As soon as he moved, the blood flowed out even more, exuding a faint breath of the Well of Time.

"Really." Tang Cuo's tone was cold, but he held Baz's hand with force, calling Baz's reason back.He could feel that Baz was terrified, his hands were shaking, and he wanted to turn back to get a glimmer of hope from Tang Cuo, but the sword was still on his neck.

What to do next?

Tang Cuo calmed down, fixed his eyes on the other party, and said, "How do I know if what you said is true or not, a knight always only follows the facts."

"You can see it with your own eyes. As long as you are willing to go astray, you can also get the blessing of eternal life and follow the immortal king to create a great and immortal cause."

Perhaps it was Tang Cuo's question that made the magician restrain his anger. He opened his arms and smiled as much as possible.When the words "Immortal King" are mentioned, the reverence and enthusiasm in those eyes are like the fire of a prairie fire, as if it can burn everything.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and the atmosphere was stagnant.

After a long time, Tang Cuo said with a cold face, "I want to see it with my own eyes."

At this time, the passage was not yet closed, the magician and the swordsman looked at each other, and they all stepped out of the way, allowing Tang Cuo to enter with Baz.They made it very cautious, with secret joy but also doubts in their hearts.

Tang Cuo was also very cautious, holding Buzz hostage and not letting him go, but this made them feel a little relieved.

The two sides deliberately kept a distance.

Where Tang Cuo and Baz couldn't see, the magician tried his best to wink at the swordsman—how about a helping hand?What about the rest?Why are there only two of us!

The swordsman was also worried. The help that was supposed to arrive as planned had not arrived, so he must have been delayed, which made him suddenly have a bad feeling.
