Chapter 16
Unable to break through the protective cover (currently being complained by Ye Xu as a turtle shell), Ye Xu is not in a hurry.
He walked slowly around the shield, without any intention of leaving.
Anyway, in the rules of the game, if the player does not open the protective shield, the Awakened can keep chasing and killing each other. If the player opens it, the Awakened cannot chase out the current passage.
After all, he has been following the player, waiting for the player's magical energy to disappear, this behavior is too wretched.
However, the four in front of them did not leave the passage, so they did not violate the rules. Ye Xu guarded them with ease, and occasionally stretched out his hand to frighten the players near the edge of the shield.
Kind of fun.
But the good times didn't last long. After all, a few players had some experience. After getting used to Ye Xu's existence, they became calmer. Helping each other stand up and start to move out slowly.
They can't stay here forever, they have to hurry to find the exit. So relying on the effect of the protective shield, they bypassed Ye Xu and continued to walk forward.
This move was in the middle of Ye Xu's arms, and Ye Xu just followed behind them in a leisurely manner. As long as the player turns his head, he can see Ye Xu hanging far behind, infiltrating the dark labyrinth.
"Go! Speed up!" The captain said with a ruthless heart, "Hurry up and run away while the protective cover is still there. I don't believe this NPC will follow us all the time. Maybe after walking out of this passage, he will leave."
Others nodded, whether it was true or not, it was good to have good wishes.
So the four of them increased their speed and walked forward almost at a trot.
However, after running for two minutes, found out how the passage is so long!
Ye Xu felt a little sympathetic to them at this moment, this passage happened to be the longest one in the labyrinth. In fact, there is a secret door in the middle of the passage. Going in is a shortcut to the exit. Unfortunately, they just missed the location of the secret door half a minute ago.
In fact, if their observation skills are good, it is very likely that they will find that secret door. Because all the wax figures in the entire passage are similar, only the wax figure has long hair, and that wax figure is the secret door.
If they hadn't been frightened by Ye Xu once, so they didn't dare to look closely at those wax figures, they should have discovered this.
It's also terrifying to think about it. The walls of the entire passage are inlaid with wax figures of the same appearance. Although he knew that the one who turned into a ghost was behind him, looking at the wax figures on both sides that were very similar to Ye Xu, he couldn't help but wonder if these were the ghost's clones. Or maybe the ghost wasn't following behind, but was waiting for them in front.
In the lengthy passage, the stereotyped scenes make players have a kind of confusion of walking into the "ghost hitting the wall".
Several players subconsciously slowed their pace, hesitated, and did not dare to walk around.
"Why, why haven't we reached the fork in the road yet?"
"I do not know……"
"He, he is still behind!"
Several people turned their heads in unison, but saw Ye Xu suddenly shortened the distance from them with a quick stride. Ye Xu, who was hanging five meters away, quickly appeared in front of him.
"!!!"
So scary wow wow!
If it wasn't for their reason, the four would have fled long ago. At that time, the loss of teammates caused by the difference in speed will outweigh the losses.
"No matter, go ahead!" The captain gritted his teeth fiercely, "There is definitely no ghosts hitting the wall in the maze, there is no need to add such things in the maze, it's just that the passage is a little longer. Let's go, don't worry about him, everyone come closer, don't fall behind. already."
The captain's encouragement played a certain role, and a minute later, they finally came to a fork in the road. The four of them almost wept with joy, they plunged into a fork in the road, no matter which way he is right, no one will do it anyway, just choose!
Ye Xu stopped at a fork in the road and did not follow. The rules are limited, at most he can follow here.
"He doesn't seem to be following..." After walking for a while, the four players looked back and found that Ye Xu hadn't followed, and was greatly relieved.
Not only did he not keep up, he couldn't even see Ye Xu at the fork in the road.
"Fortunately, we passed this time safely... Ah! My Cao! He's there!" The player looked back for a while, and unfortunately happened to see Ye Xu behind the wall, his head Reach out to see their entire process.
This scene is no less than seeing Sadako slowly crawling out of the well, and it is really scary to be caught off guard.
When the teammates heard this, they turned around and found, with horror, that there was an extra head sticking out of the corner that had just been empty. They shouldn't be able to see clearly in the dim light, but they felt that they clearly saw the NPC smiling at them strangely.
Players: QAQ, you are still fucking finished!
"Don't, don't be afraid, he definitely won't be able to keep up." A player said with his teeth chattering, "Otherwise, he wouldn't stay behind the wall all the time, you, you said yes..."
This makes sense, a few people tried it out, they walked ten meters forward, and when they looked back, Ye Xu was still there. Walking ten meters further, Ye Xu was still there.
He can't come!
As if liberated, the four players cheered and ran without saying a word. Although the ghost can't follow, the farther away the better, they don't want to stay in this passage at all, it's too bad to have a ghost watching you all the time.
The players escaped, but Ye Xu returned to the wall with regret.
These four players are so cute, wonder if the next player meet will be so interesting. If the next encounter is not afraid of ghosts, it will be too boring.
Ye Xu continued to "wander" in the wall, trying to find the single player.
Players who form a team are not easy to scare. After all, many times, a sense of security is enough when there are many people. Those who are alone will be more afraid, and the loneliness will even make them think of something to scare themselves.
However, Ye Xu overlooked one thing. If he dared to place an order in such a place, he definitely wasn't scared. Either have two brushes or not be afraid of ghosts.
Ye Xu quickly met one.
It's a girl, it's a sin, it doesn't seem good to scare girls...
Thinking so in his heart, Ye Xu didn't hesitate, but instead chose a better timing to take the shot. There is a lot of revenge in the heart of "I was scared back then, so I'm going to be scared back", as well as a secret pleasure.
The point is, this girl seems to be very timid, with "Come and scare me" written all over her face. If you don't scare her, I really feel sorry for Ye Xu's professional ethics.
After thinking of an excuse for himself, Ye Xu acted.
The girl did not open the protective cover, it seemed to save the magic value.
In fact, the shield on the magic wand can be switched on and off at will, not that it cannot be closed when it is opened. But to open it only needs to briefly press the crystal ball on the wand, but to close it requires a long press. This has led to very few people who found that the shield can be closed, and most of them were discovered by mistake.
The vast majority of players thought that the switch could not be turned off, because when the game rules were introduced, it was said that this was a one-time item. Of course, one-time props cannot be reused, so after opening it, didn't think about closing it.
But this is actually a language trap. The so-called one-off means that the reserve of magic power is limited. After using up these magic power, it will not be replenished for you again, so it becomes a one-time consumable.
The game side has always spared no effort in pitting players. believe that after players know this truth, they will definitely generate a lot of golden energy - commonly known as, crazy.
But these are not in Ye Xu's consideration. Now he is going to jump out and scare the girl, and deliberately slow down. Then after the girl opened the protective shield, he could retire successfully.
In the gloomy labyrinth, Liu Xiaoman was tremblingly looking for a way out.
It's not that she doesn't want to form a team, but that few of those teams are willing to take her. There are only a few, and they are not well-intentioned. They are looking for her to form a team not to unite and help each other to find an exit, but purely for the magic wand in her hand.
Liu Xiaoman had reason to believe that if she formed a team with those people, either the wand would be snatched away within three minutes of walking, or when everyone's wands ran out of mana, they would be in danger. Push her out as a scapegoat.
So she rejected everyone with ulterior motives and entered the maze alone.
However, this maze is really scary!
Liu Xiaoman considered herself a bolder person. After walking in such a dark place for more than ten minutes, she still couldn't bear it. She clenched the life-saving wand in her hand and carefully guarded her surroundings. Once there was any trouble, she would open the wand as soon as possible.
She wasn't worried that it couldn't be closed after opening it. In fact, five minutes ago, she accidentally opened the magic shield. At that time, she was so annoyed that she felt that she was too careless to waste the use of life-saving props.
But luck patronized her, and as she pressed the crystal ball on her staff in frustration, the shield turned off again.
At first, she thought that the magic power was exhausted, and she complained that the amount of magic stored was too low. But she still tried to open the magic shield with extravagant hopes, but she did not expect to open it again.
Only then did Liu Xiaoman realize that it was not the wand that used up its magic power, but that the magic shield could be turned on and off at will.
This is really great news.
After discovering this secret, Liu Xiaoman finally wasn't so scared anymore. Because she will have more safety time than anyone else, allowing her to find the exit.
Liu Xiaoman stood at the fork and looked left and right, and finally chose the middle passage and walked in.
At this moment, Ye Xu possessed himself on a statue near the fork.
Then... he followed behind Liu Xiaoman, and reached out and patted her shoulder...
