Get teased by AI in escape game [Unlimited]

A group of people walked through the space opened by Qi Xiaofeng and came to a closed stone room.

The room was dark, Yin Chi lit his torch, illuminating the whole space.

The last person to walk was the dejected Theseus.

As soon as his body passed through the space and landed on the ground, Qi Xiaofeng's face turned pale instantly.

It was as if he had been hit hard.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yang noticed that he was not in the right state and asked.

"My ability is used too often, and everyone is...a bit heavy," Qi Xiaofeng said dully, "I'm a little lacking in mental strength."

He was still in good spirits just now, but now his complexion started to turn blue, and it was obvious that his condition had become extremely poor.

Xu Yang looked at the closed environment around him, his heart was suspended, and he asked in a low voice, "How many more times do you have to reach the limit?"

Qi Xiaofeng scratched his head and calculated: "For a short distance... about three times."

There are also restrictions on the use of abilities.

Qi Xiaofeng's ability can no longer be wasted on such a purposeless march.

Xu Yang frowned slightly, thinking about other countermeasures.

Traveling is only meaningful if you find the direction of the exit.

"About the exit of the maze," Yin Chi whispered behind Xu Yang as if he knew what he was thinking, "Do you still remember the hint projected by that mirror?"

Xu Yang turned around, glanced at his deep facial features illuminated by the fire, pondered for a moment, and said silently:

"'My dear princess, when you are lost, please run towards the oxtail, and don't be watched by the gods...'"

He rarely forgets what he has seen.

Yin Chi stared at him unblinkingly with his dark pupils, nodded slightly, and gave a low hum in the back of his throat.

"God? The Minotaur is dead, and there is no existence in the maze that can be called a god." Ellie sat in the corner, lowered her head and wiped the dagger, and took the words softly.

Fang Cheng hesitated to speak for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"You... knew he was a demigod from the beginning?"

Ellie's figure froze slightly, she clenched her dagger tightly, and nodded: "I... do know."

Fang Cheng: "Then...why come to kill him?"

Ellie pursed her lips tightly, unwilling to speak.

"God, there are also ranks, and there are good and evil." Xu Yang saw through her thoughts, and lightly pointed out: "There are many theories about the Minotaur's life experience. The most specific one is , 'it' is the ungodly thing born of the wife of King Minos and the bull given by the sea god. "

An illegitimate child, a monster combined with a man and a cow...

In the hearts of people with a strong sense of hierarchy, humbleness is original sin.

So the person who died was the Oaks in the maze, not the king sitting in the palace, collecting human sacrifices everywhere.

Qi Xiaofeng's eyes couldn't be wider, and it took him a long time to let out a long "oh": "No wonder the name of this dungeon is 'Son of Taboo', now everything works."

"I, I can't stop my father..." Ellie's face changed again and again, and she said: "He, although he is a taboo person, he has always faced the world as a slave, but he also killed for the kingdom. Conquered and fought, protected the subjects, and made a lot of military exploits..."

As she talked, she lowered her head again in a low mood.

The man is dead.

No matter how much it is mentioned, it can only be nostalgia.

For some reason, Xu Yang felt a faint pity in his heart.

He shook his head decisively, ruled out this emotion, and continued to think:

"The demigod is dead, and we can no longer be watched by the 'God'. The question now is, where is the 'Oxtail Direction'? This exit is likely to be in the 'Oxtail'."

"Oxtail...wait!" Qi Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, "When that boss fell, was the corpse lying on its stomach or lying down? Do you remember?"

"..." Xu Yang said, "He died standing up."

Probably because Ellie's short sword hit the vital point directly, and he died without falling down.

"Where is your back facing?" Qi Xiaofeng asked excitedly.

"An empty corner." The former pile of bones.

"Then, there is the oxtail. Oakes is a tauren, isn't there an oxtail behind him? Let's find a way to go back!" Qi Xiaofeng said anxiously.

"..." Xu Yang paused, opened his mouth to speak, but finally closed his mouth.

Yin Chi has been watching the question and answer between the two, and finally couldn't help laughing and said: "That place is the birth point of the new boss."

Going back now, isn't it courting death?

Moreover, the system once reminded them that they had unlocked the "restriction at the bottom of the labyrinth".

Since the new boss is suppressed underground, how could the place where it appeared be the exit...

The odds are slim.

Qi Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, sighed in disappointment, turned around, and turned his back to the crowd dejectedly.

Xu Yang recalled Qi Xiaofeng's guess.

Although simple and direct, it does seem to have a little connection with the truth.

【Dear princess, when you get lost, please run towards the oxtail, don't be watched by God...】

"Oxtail...God's gaze..."

He repeated in a low voice, and subtle clues flashed through his mind one after another.

Three conjectures faintly emerged in Xu Yang's heart.

The first guess is, as Qi Xiaofeng said, Oakes is a mythical minotaur, so when he died, the tail of the cow would always face the direction where his body was facing away, and the exit was at the bottom of the maze, where the second-order boss was born. Place.

The second conjecture is that the goddess statue in the bottom temple is also one of the "gods" endowed with meaning by Oaks. Everything she looks at will always belong to the maze, and the exit can only be behind her, and there may be hidden them Clues to the yet-to-be-discovered "oxtail."

Third guess...

He lowered his head and looked at his inventory.

After a while, the thin corners of his mouth curled up.

Item name: [The Face of the Minotaur (Unique)]

Item function: The chaos, anxiety and confusion of the world are all under my watchful eyes.

Item description: Please don't discriminate against a cow with a godhead!

"I found a way." Xu Yang said quietly.

"What way?" Fang Cheng asked impatiently.

Xu Yang looked at him critically, and then suddenly remembered that he had never seen himself wearing a mask, and he didn't remember that the person in front of him was someone he had lied to...

So there was no trace of guilt in his expression.

"I can't tell you." Xu Yang curled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"You..." Fang Cheng was speechless.

Xu Yang took out his mask and put it on tentatively.

— nothing happened.

Instead of what he imagined, the exaggerated thick bronze wall on Oakes' body appeared out of thin air, and then covered his whole body.

A trace of regret flitted across his heart.

It seems that this mask still recognizes the Lord.

Fang Cheng's eyes glued to the mask tightened for a moment, his Adam's apple twitched, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva uncontrollably.

eager.

"Come into that door with me." Xu Yang turned his head and looked at Yin Chi, his fine black hair trembling slightly with his movements.

Yin Chi was leaning lazily against the wall at first, but when he met the young man's bright black eyes, his sharp eyes suddenly softened.

"it is good."

He stood up straight, stepped forward, and stretched out a hand towards Xu Yang who was wearing a mask.

There are familiar thin calluses on the palm.

Xu Yang paused for a moment imperceptibly, glanced at his palm, gently took his hand, then stepped back, and walked towards the door behind him step by step.

The thin figure kept walking backwards until both feet stepped out of the door.

Yin Chi didn't follow very closely, he held his hand loosely, stayed on the other side, just looked at him quietly.

After passing through the door, Xu Yang stopped and checked the olive branch map again.

Sure enough, as soon as I walked, the red dot on the map did not come to another leaf that should be adjacent to this leaf.

Instead, it went directly from the bottommost leaf to the penultimate layer.

He went up one level for no reason.

——it could only be the mask carrying him, moving upwards.

If he guessed correctly, this direction will eventually lead to the exit.

As he guessed in his mind, the mask was placed on the temple at the bottom of the maze at first, with the front facing the top.

Then above it, any corner of the entire maze, any passage, can no longer point to the exit.

Because, everything [The Face of Minotaur] looks at is the confusion, restlessness and confusion of the world.

The exit of the maze is always on the back of the mask—that is, the direction of the ox's tail.

Several people around looked at them inexplicably.

Qi Xiaofeng: "Why did you suddenly hold hands while wearing a mask?"

Xu Yang glanced at him, ignoring his teasing: "From now on, follow me, we will go out of the maze."

"Okay." Yin Chi's voice was low, and his eyes never left him.

Xu Yang lowered his eyelashes slightly, avoiding his gaze uncomfortably, and gently let go of his hand.

Yin Chi raised his eyebrows.

The group speeded up as much as possible, followed this method, passed through several doors one after another, and gradually walked upwards.

Xu Yang has been paying close attention to the olive branch map in his hand.

They were two-thirds of the way to the top of the olive branch.

The exit is not far away.

Just when several people relaxed their vigilance and cheered from the bottom of their hearts, they were about to leave the maze.

That weird sticky noise reappeared.

It was as if something heavy and slippery followed them closely, sliding closer to them bit by bit.

The ghost lingers, like a shadow.

Xu Yang opened his eyes suddenly, staring closely at the entrance they just walked through.

Oops, this weird thing doesn't have a map, how can it run so fast?

Is it chasing after them, or has it expanded, filling every corner in the middle and lower part of the maze...?

Different from the sound heard at the bottom of the temple before, this sound is clearer and faster now, accompanied by heavy and urgent breathing.

As they got closer, they could still tell that the voice was mixed with the faint, painful wailing of countless people.

"Ah—there are so few clues here..."

"This damn dungeon is just looking for food, looking for food all day long, and there are no NPCs. It's so fascinating!"

"I'm so hungry, I want to get out of here..."

"Don't—don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"Princess...my princess...have you left the maze yet?"

Allie trembled, her footsteps stopped, and her voice became extremely frightened: "Li, Liz...?"

Xu Yang's face darkened, and he reminded: "Don't stop, run quickly."
