Angel finally resisted the urge to run.
Although in Angel's view, there is no difference between "running" and "walking", but who knows whether it will violate the prohibition?
Once the road really disappears due to "running", you can only start over.
This is more time-consuming than pursuing temporary speed.
Therefore, he still suppressed the urge to run away and walked step by step.
Even, in order to avoid mistakes, the frequency and distance of each step he takes are exactly the same as those of the machine doll.
This time, they walked without wind and waves for a quarter of an hour before the machine puppet stopped.
"Should it be here?" Angel muttered in a low voice.
During the journey, he had actually been estimating the distance. Just talking about the distance traveled, they were already close to the limit of more than ten miles mentioned by Lu Nuo.
However, many of the roads summoned by the machine dolls are winding. If we talk about straight-line distances, it still takes some distance to reach the limit.
Angel didn't know whether the machine doll counted straight-line distance or travel distance.
However, even if we calculate the distance traveled, it is estimated that it is only a matter of one or two sections.
When Angel was thinking this, the machine puppet waved his hand again.
At its feet, a new long road stretches out, but this long road is completely different from the previous one.
To make an analogy...
The three roads they had experienced before could all be called "normal roads"; but at this time, what appeared in front of them was a "track".
From Angel's perspective, the track in front of us with its ups and downs, and even its continuous giant loops, is exactly the same as the roller coaster track in the amusement park. Oh, no, there is still a difference, at least the track in the amusement park
There are vehicle roller coasters, but there is nothing on this track.
It looks like...it's a forced walk again?
The next second, the mechanical puppet jumped onto the track, turned around and said a long series of words to Angel and Laplace. Its expression kept changing and it danced, as if telling a long story.
After the machine puppet finished telling the unknown story, it started on its way.
This time Angel observed very carefully and finally confirmed that the track this time was indeed the same as before, still "hard walking". However, this time the machine puppet was a combination of "walking" and "running".
On the flat road, I walked slowly and leisurely, just like taking a walk.
When a large loop appears on the track, the machine puppet begins to prepare to run, using the inertia of the power of speed to quickly pass through the large loop to avoid falling directly into the void with its head down.
If it were left to ordinary people, there is a high probability that they would not be able to pass it, because the curvature of the large loop is too large, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to meet the speed requirements for passing the level.
However, for Angel and Laplace, even if they did not use extraordinary abilities and relied only on the strength of their physical bodies, they could still easily pass through the large loop.
Because it was a combination of walking and running, the time this time was obviously faster than before.
In just five minutes, we reached the end of the track.
At this point, even if we calculate the straight-line distance, we have reached the limit mentioned by Lu Nuo.
So, this should be the end point?
Angel looked back and looked around, but couldn't see anything, neither a shining point nor a so-called exit building.
Just when Angel was filled with doubts, the porcelain-white machine puppet suddenly clapped his hands, and the applause caught his attention.
Under the gaze of Angel and Laplace, the porcelain white doll suddenly sang a song.
The lyrics are still incomprehensible, but just talking about the song itself... there is nothing worthy of praise. It is just an ordinary song with an ordinary voice.
The only bonus is that the porcelain white doll sings in this dark void, giving it a weird and ethereal atmosphere.
Other than that, there is nothing else to think about.
After singing the song, the porcelain white idol was the actor who was about to take his final bow, and began to express a series of thoughts. From its exaggerated expression, it can be seen that the content it said should be very emotional.
However, for Ingres and Laplace who could not understand Ordovician, it was just playing the piano to an ox.
When the porcelain white man finished his speech, Angel thought it was time to "exit".
But what he didn't expect was that the porcelain white doll suddenly stretched out its hand and made a familiar movement towards the void - waving.
Then, a new road made of wood appeared behind it.
Angel: "..." What else?!
Did Lu Nuo make a calculation error? Or are there other reasons?
Didn't you say it's only a dozen miles away?
When Angel was complaining crazily in his heart, Laplace suddenly said: "No, this road is very short."
Angel said "Huh" and followed Laplace's words and looked into the distance.
This is a wooden staircase. It winds forward for about a hundred meters and merges into the darkness. It seems that there is an end a hundred meters away?
This is obviously completely different from the previous path!
Could it be that this road is actually the exit road?
Angel couldn't help but look at the machine puppet. If there was really an exit ahead, the machine puppet would most likely stop directly at the break like the cliff before.
However, the mechanical doll did not stop as Angel thought. He stepped on the wooden stairs and began to climb up step by step.
Angel: "...Okay, whether it's the last stretch or not, just follow it and you'll find out."
Before stepping onto the wooden stairs, Angel did not forget to observe the movements of the machine puppet.
However, after observation, Angel found nothing unusual. It seemed to be the same as before?
Angel looked at Laplace, wanting to see what she said.
Laplace pondered for a moment and said in the spiritual belt: "It should be the same as before, just a normal walkway. However, just in case, you'd better go up along the path it walked."
Angel nodded. Regardless of whether there are any restrictions, just follow the puppet's movements to avoid returning to the starting point if you make a mistake.
After making the decision, Angel was ready to take the long step.
Just as he was about to touch the ground, Laplace's voice came from the psychic belt: "Change your foot."
Angel: "???"
Laplace: "Just now, it landed with its right foot first, and it went up the stairs in a left-right cycle."
Angel: "...will it be so strict?"
Laplace didn't know either and shrugged: "Anyway, just follow its actions."
Angel didn't hesitate, simply changed his legs and started climbing the stairs.
At a glance, the machine puppet was already dozens of meters away, stopping and smiling at them.
Angel didn't pay attention to the machine puppet. It made a lot of "mockers" and "blunders" along the way, which were completely meaningless. However, Angel noticed that there was a faint light behind the machine puppet.
.
There is the end of the wooden stairs.
Is there light at the end?
Could it be! That’s the exit?
Angel's heart moved, and he quickened his steps. Not long after, Angel saw the light not far away.
It's just that the light looks like a shiny surface. Is it...a mirror?
Is the mirror the exit? If this ruins were created by creatures from the Sun Mirror Realm, then there is a high probability that the mirror is the exit; however, since this ruin was created by the Ordovicians, the probability that the mirror is the exit does not seem to be high.
Angel shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it was only a dozen meters away, so he would just go and take a look.
Angel took a big step and prepared to quickly go to the light source.
However, the next second.
As soon as his feet were empty, he fell straight down like an onion.
Angel quickly adjusted his posture, looked up, and found that the wooden stairs had disappeared, and Laplace and the machine doll were floating in mid-air.
The machine puppet smiled sneer at the fallen Angel.
Then, the machine puppet slowly flew back towards the return road.
To be continued...
