Reza put one arm around Ian's waist, and said close to his ear, "This place is no longer safe, hold on to me!"

The flames broke the rope connecting the airbag and the bamboo basket, and the bamboo basket instantly lost its balance and fell to one side. Reza hugged Ian and jumped out before the basket completely turned over.

The heat wave coming up from the ground burned his skin, Reza gritted his teeth, tried his best to turn his body so that his back was facing down, and tightly protected Ian in his arms with both hands.

The ropes of the bamboo baskets had been completely burnt, and they were instantly reduced to ashes when they fell into the depths of the sea of ​​fire.

The smell of burnt leather in the air and the burning pain in his back made Reza feel that something was wrong, and the flames were still going up and seemed to swallow everything.

In the raging flames, Reza keenly noticed a black rectangular shadow.

That is,

door!

Reza stretched out his hand to grab the doorknob with all his strength, and the contact between the skin and the hot metal made a frightening sizzling sound.

In the next second, the scorching air receded in an instant, and the darkness in the door swallowed everything in front of it.

Reza suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, and found himself wrapped in a pile of burnt rose vines, with Ian lying beside him, and a dilapidated door panel under the two of them

Looking again, the stone statue of Mrs. Rose is still quietly standing in the center of the room. The sunlight shines through the colorful glass, reflecting a weird silhouette on the floor of the church.

It turned out that the two of them were just having a dream. Reza checked his hands and back, and the burns on his skin had completely disappeared.

hiss!

On Reza's right arm, where the little Rose had bitten him, the purple part of the wound was slowly spreading.

Dreams are fake, but poison is real.

Reza turned his head, gently pulled the vines wrapped around Ian's body, and pushed the boy who was still sleeping: "Get up, Your Highness."

Ian tilted his head and slowly woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and sitting up slowly.

Resa laughed: "Are you really here to sleep?" As he spoke, he raised his head and faced the face that was still confused: "Are you sleeping well, Your Highness?"

Ian ignored him, looked at the surrounding environment and asked: "What we just did, was it a dream?"

"It's not an accident, yes." Reza helped Ian stand up, and helped Ian pat the dust on the wolf cloak on his back.

The flowers that were originally full of vitality in the church had all withered. Ian walked to the wall and looked at the scorched plant stems. He could break the vines into several sections with just a little force.

Reza glanced blankly at the ashes of roses scattered on the ground, and carefully checked the things placed on the table under the stone statue.

"Soil, water, and this—" Reza put his index finger on the cork on the glass bottle mouth: "This is, wind."

"Resa!"

Ian's voice trembled abnormally again, Reza turned his head, the boy's eyes passed Reza, and looked at the stone statue in front of him in surprise.

"what happened?"

Resa slowly followed the boy's gaze upwards.

At some point, there was a trace of blood on the bottom of the stone statue, and along the bloodstain, there was a pair of beautiful white feet.

"This, this is!"

Reza opened his eyes wide, unbelievable that the vines that bound the stone statue woman had turned into living creatures, and it was even more difficult to believe that the woman bound by the vines was——

"Ida!"

"What's going on here?"

Resa turned his head, the door of the church was opened again, and two men and women who were drenched in rough clothes walked in.

The leading woman is one of the six candidates, Miranda.

Miranda walked to the front and looked at the woman who was being hoisted in surprise: "What's going on? Why did Date?"

"As you can see, we have encountered a dangerous agency, where are you?"

"Water," Miranda spread her hands and showed her drenched skirt, "Ghost knows what we went through just now. We were almost drowned and became the bait of those damned fish."

"Water." Reza murmured.

Milanda anxiously looked at Yida who was tied up in front of the stone statue and was unconscious: "Anyway, let's put Yida down first, it's not worth losing your life for the selection."

It was rare for Reza to respond to the lady's impolite smile, and nodded with a faint expression. He took out a gun from behind and shot off the vines that bound Ida's hands and feet.

Before Ida fell, the vines came back at a fast speed, covering Ida's forearm and calf in an instant.

"It's terrible!" Miranda exclaimed, "Can't these things be removed? Ida will die here."

"The regeneration ability of these things is very strong." Reza frowned, not daring to shoot rashly again: "Unless they are completely eradicated, there is no way to eliminate them."

"Then, is it okay to use fire?" The middle-aged man behind Milanda stepped forward.

Resa glanced at the man coldly: "If the attempt fails, Ida may be completely wrapped up in these things, are you sure you want to try?"

The man coughed twice in embarrassment and stopped talking.

"Water, soil, wind, these are essential things for the growth of roses, and they are also the clues for us to find rose crystals." Reza pointed to the desk under the stone carving: "The things are placed there, you can see for yourself ?”

Miranda and the two exchanged glances, stepped forward to check the items on the desk, and looked at Leisa suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

"As a reminder, water, soil and wind are clues, and you can continue to dig."

Resala grabbed Ian's wrist and opened the door of the church.

"What are you doing?" Miranda called out in disbelief: "The clue is obviously in the church, do you want to quit? If you both choose to quit, who will save Ida?"

Reza turned his head and looked at the two with cold eyes: "We quit, so you have a chance to win, right?"

"If you were not here, who put the rose on Ida's left chest to let people outside come to save her, do you really want her to die inside?" Miranda asked angrily.

"Heh!" Resa tilted his head, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You pushed her up with your own hands, and blame me for not saving her now that you are lying here?"

Miranda's face froze: "You, what do you mean?"

"The handle on the inside of the church door is wet." Reza let go of the handle, looking coldly at the water stains in his hands.

"The glass bottle on the desk has a circle printed on the flat bottom by water stains. It means that someone has been here before. I would like to ask, we have already checked this room, and we pretended to be just here after we woke up. Two bit, what do you want to do?"

"If Ida dies here, you are the murderers!"

Reza's words were resounding, and Miranda's body shook violently.

Ignoring the two people in the church, Reza opened the door and pulled Ian out.

The outside had turned back into the corridor again, and Reza took out two roses from the bottle, and pinned one of them to the cloak on the boy's left shoulder.

"Ida, leave her alone?"

Resa nicknamed the rose on his chest, and touched Ian's head: "We are going out because we want to control her."

There were rhythmic footsteps at the end of the corridor, and K appeared in front of the two at some point.

"Are you two going to quit? I see the situation of the two of you, it seems that you can continue."

"No, we quit." Reza interrupted K: "Even if the sponsor quits, the candidate can still complete the game independently, isn't that right?"

"Yes sir, if you insist." K stretched out his hand, and a door slowly appeared in the air.

"This way please, sir."

Reza and Ian walked through the door and returned to the original hall, where the hexagonal balance was quietly placed.The medical team was already on standby, and when they saw the two people coming out, they rushed forward to check them.

Reza squinted his eyes, the poison in his right hand had spread to his elbow along the meridians, if he didn't hurry up, he might...

"No need," Resa pushed away the little nurse beside him, and walked straight towards the balance.

There is a delicate rose pattern carved in the center of the golden scale. Reza touched the cloud pattern at the tip of the scale with both hands, to the raindrops, to the blooming rose field, and finally, the fertile soil under the flowers.

Reza raised the corners of his lips, took a few steps back, and instantly blew the scales when he drew his gun.

"What are you doing!" K yelled loudly, and before he stepped forward to stop him, a small glass bottle appeared in the middle of the cracked balance, and in the bottle, a pink spar the size of a fruit pit shone brightly. .
