Get teased by AI in escape game [Unlimited]

Xu Yang took half a step back, watching the battle between the two in front of him.

In other words, Ellie's overwhelming advantage.

Perhaps she should be called now—Ariadne.

In ancient Greek mythology, the princess of Crete, the daughter of King Minos, the assistant of Theseus, and the future wife of Dionysus.

And... NPCs.

"You can die." She backhanded a sharp dagger.

"Why?" the Minotaur asked in a low voice.

The sound echoed throughout the underground temple.

It lowered its head and watched the dagger sink into the middle of its chest in an instant.

The black crack opened its teeth and claws, and rushed out from the impenetrable sword body, covering the whole body of the bronze monster in an instant.

Thick black air leaked out from the dense cracks.

"Why...you must kill me?" Binglan's eyeballs trembled slightly, as if full of puzzlement, "I didn't...cannibalize people."

In the next second, the huge bronze monster shattered loudly, and countless tiny fragments were scattered on the cold marble floor. After a while, they turned into black spots of light and dissipated in the air.

The cow-head mask that Xu Yang had seen before splashed from the debris and split in two.

With a clang, it fell to the ground, exuding a conspicuous light.

Fang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward.

Xu Yang glanced at him, but rushed ahead of Fang Cheng, leaned over to pick up the broken mask, and put it together.

【You have obtained the item [The Face of Minotaur (Unique)]. 】

After the defeat of the bronze monster, Oakes' body was gradually revealed in the air.

Azure half-closed eyes, tall and straight figure, handsome silhouette.

At this time, everything was covered with a thick layer of gray and white dead air.

Ellie opened her eyes wide, the dagger in her hand trembled slightly, and fell to the ground:

"Ox? Why are you..."

"Ariadne, don't you remember me?" Oakes asked in a low voice, staring at her.

"Who... are you?" The girl's eyes were full of doubts.

"Do you really think that I kidnapped you back then?" Oakes whispered, "I was the one who saved you, not... that idiot."

Ellie's dark pupils trembled slightly, and then gradually brightened, with a look of joy——

"The person who saved me back then was... Oaks?"

"Well," Oakes showed a weak and slightly arrogant smile, "My... Her Royal Highness."

[Hidden plot resolution: 70%]

Xu Yang stood aside with a calm passer-by face, quietly watching the plot of the NPC's grievances.

He was waiting for the final result—after Ellie fulfilled her long-cherished wish, she followed him out of the maze.

Ellie picked up the dagger, raised and lowered her hand in mid-air, back and forth, hesitating.

half an hour-

"But I'm still going to kill you. I'm sorry."

She gritted her teeth and rushed forward.

The sharp dagger inlaid with rubies pierced the flesh and sank into Oakes' chest.

Blood poured out.

The sound of flesh being separated by a sharp blade can be clearly heard.

Oakes suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He took the blow physically.

Ellie's eyes were filled with tears, and the hand holding the sword trembled violently.

Dots of blue veins floated from her arms, with clear and ferocious patterns, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

She choked up: "If it wasn't for you...if it wasn't for you...so many people would not have been sent here to die in agony in the maze... Oakes, I'm sorry, please never...don't forgive me."

She refers to those who were sent into the labyrinth by the king and finally became sacrifices to the Minotaur.

Oakes watched her crying helplessly, sighed, but bowed his head slightly, and pressed a kiss on her lips:

"Also... okay."

His eyes froze for a moment.

The whole body instantly turned into light spots and dissipated into the air without leaving any traces.

For some reason, the spot of light was not black, but the same blue as his pupils.

[Dungeon character Ariadne successfully killed the BOSS Minotaur]

Xu Yang had witnessed everything, and his expression still looked calm.

His fingertips trembled slightly.

No one knew that the moment Ellie killed Oakes, his entire field of vision trembled violently.

At that moment, what he saw with his eyes was not the reality in front of him.

But another scene.

In endless darkness.

A thin man with black hair and black eyes stood expressionlessly in the void.

His eyelashes drooped, his expression was dull and numb, like a stubborn stone.

With slender, white knuckles, he held a cold white blade loosely.

"Today is another day."

Facing the object in front of him, he said coldly,

"You still need to die, 7425 times."

The sharp blade pierces and cuts with precision.

Watch it fade away, disappear, again and again.

Then regenerate.

"What did you remember?" At some point, Yin Chi was already standing beside him.

Xu Yang woke up suddenly, and his out-of-focus eyes gathered together again.

His mind fluctuated violently, and he took half a step back unconsciously, avoiding Yin Chi's inquiring gaze, and said softly:

"I don't have amnesia, what can I remember?"

The fine black hair fell down, covering his pupils with unclear expressions.

Yin Chi narrowed his dark and sharp eyes, staring at him intently.

A moment later, she curled her thin lips and smiled slightly.

There was a hint of chill in his smile.

Qi Xiaofeng suddenly poked his head out from behind Yin Chi: "Why do these NPCs have so many entanglements?"

"...how do I know." Xu Yang lowered his eyelashes.

Unconsciously, he raised his left hand slightly and pinched the right cuff lightly.

"'Regardless of whether it is true or not, what you feel is existence'," Yin Chi said suddenly, "Do you really think so?"

Xu Yang was in a state of uncertainty at the moment, and didn't want to take any of his words, so he kept silent.

Yin Chi paused every word, and continued: "As the saying goes, listen to his words and watch his actions. Although you say that and do things, I always find it hard to believe."

Xu Yang had something in his heart, but he tilted his head slightly, raised the end of his eyes slightly, and glanced at him provocatively with his dull eyes:

"Don't you know me well?"

"How can anyone in this world know you better than me?" Yin Chi looked sideways at him, his voice low and hoarse.

It actually carried a bit of faint temptation.

He leaned forward and raised his right hand.

The warm and callused big hand gently touched the fine black hair on his forehead.

Xu Yang's eyelashes trembled slightly, subconsciously trying to escape.

For some reason, the feet seemed to have taken root.

After a while, he still stood in place.

Yin Chi flicked his fingertips, brushing away the strand of black hair until he could clearly see his twinkling pupils.

Just for a moment.

The powerful knuckles loosened suddenly, and let it hang down again.

back to normal.

On the other side, Ellie raised her head, staring at the statue of a goddess that was exactly like her with wet eyes for a long time.

He lowered his head, raised his slender arms, and kept wiping away his tears.

Theseus took a half step forward: "My dear..."

Allie just stared at the bloody dagger, and said softly, "Go away."

She raised her dagger and pointed it at herself.

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly walked towards Ellie, and took the dagger: "Stop."

"...Give it back to me!" Ellie said.

Xu Yang shook his head and said softly, "Leave the maze."

He must take Ellie out of the maze and complete the task.

Ellie shook her head vigorously: "I won't go... The Minotaur is dead, no more innocent people will suffer, my responsibility as a princess... has been fulfilled."

She lowered her head emotionally, and then raised her hand to wipe away the tears that kept overflowing.

Xu Yang was a little speechless.

During their conversation, he had already heard that the entanglement between Oakes and Ellie was deep and lasted for ten years.

He really couldn't find any reason to persuade her to suspend her grief and leave the maze.

Then——you can only faint.

"Maybe, not necessarily," Yin Chi's deep and slightly magnetic voice came from behind, "The matter is not over yet."

In the next second, the faces of the players in the temple turned pale in unison.

A line of system prompts appeared in front of their eyes:

[Players Xu Chaomu, Fang Cheng, Yin Chi, and Qi Xiaofeng unlocked the restriction at the bottom of the maze and obtained bonus points: 50 points. 】

[Dungeon upgrade, enter the second stage: the abyss in the maze. 】

[Please pay attention to your own safety, all players. 】

second stage?

Xu Yang's heart shuddered.

After a while, he heard a sticky noise behind him.

It was like something wet, cold, and huge, wriggling, wriggling.

Waking up slowly from the far underground.

squirming, approaching.

He turned around quickly, his eyes fixed on the position of the pile of white bones before, his expression was as cold as bone.

It was a still dark corner.

Small pieces of information flashed through his mind one after another at this time, and they were connected together——

The herbivorous Minotaur, the human bones in the labyrinth, the subjects who are constantly being sacrificed, the surging and harmless green swamp...

Xu Yang closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them suddenly.

The dark pupils tightened violently.

--Oh no.

The final boss in this maze is not Oaks.

Xu Yang looked at Ellie and said quickly: "Now, leave the maze with me immediately, otherwise, no one in your country or your subjects will be spared."

Not only her persistent subjects.

Xu Yang's head swelled when he thought of the green mud that was difficult to break free.

That thing comes with a power restriction, and the players in the entire maze may not be able to fight it.

The only person who can suppress it may be Oakes who has been trapped here for a long time.

Oakes, on the other hand, had already died from the dagger in Ellie's hand.

Maybe he should try to stop Ellie just now.

Qi Xiaofeng quickly found a suitable space, stroked it up, and confirmed, "Up?"

Xu Yang stared at Ellie who was still at a loss, and nodded.

"I want to go too!"

At this time, "Fang Cheng", who was afraid to make a sound, suddenly squeezed over and hugged Ellie's leg.

At the juncture of life and death, he is like a piece of brown sugar, sticking to the most critical mission NPC.

Never let go.

"you you you you……"

Ellie's eyes widened and she tried all her strength, but she couldn't pull him down.

The most urgent thing is to leave the bottom layer as soon as possible.

Xu Yang frowned and said decisively, "Leave first."

Qi Xiaofeng nodded vigorously, concentrated, and opened up an upward space.

Yin Chi originally hugged his chest and leaned lazily to the side, but now he paused slightly.

The sharp eyes froze, glanced at Fang Cheng, who had an unclear expression, and smiled slightly:

"Are you sure, leave him alone?"

"It's too late," Xu Yang said softly, "you should watch him."

"Since you said that...well then." Yin Chi stood up straight, stretched his fingers, and approached Fang Cheng.

The thin and powerful waistline is stretched out, and the smooth and tight arm lines are faintly accumulating strength.

He didn't make any more moves.

For some reason, Fang Cheng still trembled slightly.
