Audrey stood in front of the three-way intersection, holding the pendulum in her hand and testing it one by one, only to find that the answer given at every hole was "no".
Based on Audrey’s current knowledge of occultism, she roughly speculated on two possibilities——
First, there was insufficient information, but because I had tried three methods before, I finally gave an answer that was neither.
Secondly, it is indeed neither. This intersection must meet certain conditions before the correct one can appear.
"Damn it! Why are there no hints here!" Audrey stared at the three doors, and finally took out the hand lamp from the small bag.
It is said that this was invented by Emperor Russell when he was the Holy Son of the Church of Steam. It can be manually cranked to produce a brightness that far exceeds that of gas lamps. However, the internal components need to be manufactured by the Mechanical Church, so it is not popular, but many explorers will spend a lot of money.
Buy one for the price.
Following a series of not pleasant but very rhythmic friction sounds, bright white light illuminated the passage. After a little adaptation to the sudden light, Audrey discovered that there was a pattern on the top of each of the three passages.
"Turtle, horse and butterfly?" Audrey frowned slightly and looked at the three patterns made of different-colored masonry. Because they had no extraordinary power, their spiritual vision did not detect their existence.
The light moved to both sides, and Audrey saw several candlesticks embedded in the wall, with thick candles that looked very old.
"So these candles should be lit?" Audrey looked at the candlesticks carefully, looked around carefully, and after confirming that there were no patterns on the top, left, and right of the candlesticks, she took out a tinder box and lit the candles.
Unexpectedly, the moment the first candle was ignited, the fire seemed to come to life, turning into a line of fire and spreading. The fire lights lit up. Soon, the whole room became...
The lights are bright.
"It's so magical!" Audrey looked at the room that suddenly became brighter. After sighing a little, she discovered the difference between those candles - although they burned quietly, in fact, they did not melt at all.
, a sign of shortening, of course, it may also be that they burn too slowly to be noticed, but in any case, these candles are definitely not the ones she usually sees.
"Audrey, I seem to feel something watching us!" Susie suddenly approached Audrey vigilantly, and at the same time summoned the flying princess who had disappeared for a long time. Audrey frowned slightly.
, entering the audience state, her enhanced observation ability made her vaguely feel a certain kind of gaze.
And, there seems to be a lot more!
This discovery made Audrey's hair stand on end. He carefully held down the handbag and made sure that the paper figures inside were still there. At the same time, he tried his best to steady his mind and said:
"This should be the official start of the trial. Maybe the person watching us is the 'referee' of the trial? Just like the tower spirits of those powerful magicians in the story... anthracene, should it be called alchemical life?"
"No matter what, we need to hurry up. Those sights give me a bad feeling." Susie shook her head vigorously, and Audrey also agreed with Susie's idea. After all, they are not from the Panridax family.
Taking a deep breath, Audrey began to observe the layout of the room. There were only brick and stone patterns on the ceiling. There were water channels divided into three on the ground. Above the three door openings that she had marked, there were those three
A somewhat abstract collage of different-colored bricks.
"The answer must lie in these three paintings!" Audrey nodded affirmatively, but then felt a little frustrated. The symbol of the Panridax family is a white horse, but if this is the case, it is too simple.
Moreover, she had walked through the door with the white horse before, but she still returned to the same place.
"Maybe I have to go through them one by one in a certain order?" Audrey knocked her head in distress, and suddenly realized that maybe using her brain to solve puzzles was not suitable for her.
"Damn it, if only there were rabbits!" Audrey wanted to turn around and go back to catch the rabbits, but Susie shook her head and said:
"You can't find the right path, how can a rabbit find it?"
"That's right...wait a minute! What did you just say?" Audrey opened her eyes wide and looked at Susie. Suddenly, she felt like in a detective novel, the great detective suddenly found a key clue because of an unintentional remark made by his assistant.
déjà vu.
"You can't find the right path, how can a rabbit find it?"
Susie did not ask Audrey what she had thought of, but obediently repeated what she had said before. Audrey's eyes flashed brightly and she said confidently——
"Yes, that's it. When we fell down before, there were only a few rabbits left in place, and the rest were gone. We only walked a hundred meters along the way, and there were no rabbits on the road. So what's left?
Where did the rabbit go?"
"You mean the rabbit walked out of the maze?" Susie reacted immediately and was a little surprised:
"Are we really inferior to rabbits?"
"Susie..." Audrey weakly called Susie's name, and then sighed:
"This shows that we may have entered into a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Poor Susie is just a dog and cannot understand the chill of this word. When Audrey saw this, she could only rub her head, turned around and pointed to the door behind her:
"We have passed through all the doors here, except this one."
"But this is the way we came here!" Susie didn't quite understand Audrey's thoughts, but Audrey said with great conviction:
"When we chose the door before, we always walked in a straight line, but we still came back here, so this is not an ordinary maze at all, but a maze affected by the power of mysticism!"
With that said, Audrey strode towards the passage from which she came.
Although Susie hadn't understood Audrey's train of thought, she still followed her immediately, and then...
"Finally out!" After about a few dozen meters of passage, Audrey saw the room in front of her again and the lonely passage directly in front of her. She suddenly smiled as if she had survived the disaster, but soon she realized something was wrong, because
In front of her, the ditch on the ground seemed to be...
Audrey rushed out of the corridor, then turned her head sharply, and immediately, three side-by-side passages with markings appeared in her field of vision again.
Audrey had a frustrated expression on her face, and she was lucky not to sit directly on the ground, but Susie discovered her blind spot and immediately said:
"Audrey, look, the order of the patterns on the door has changed! There is no turtle, there is an extra fish!"
ps: It started again, the whole building felt like an earthquake... I made a cup of tea and the water splashed out, but it was okay.
