Mystic Dominator

"…"

"The answer is 23 chickens and 12 rabbits."

"Your answer is quite correct."

Between the questions and answers, Ronald passed the initial entry test, and the two clerks naturally let him go.

Continuing to walk inward, Ronald felt a lot more relaxed.

The classic problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage appears, but it is similar to the previous Sphinx mystery, and it finally has the original flavor of the labyrinth picture book.

In the labyrinth picture book world dominated by Gwendolyn, it is naturally the best news to encounter such an 'authentic' experience.

At least unless the other party sets obstacles and interference.

Your own past experience can also come in handy here.

With that in mind, Ronald looked for the stairs going up in the corridor at the back of the shop, and...then he got lost.

The corridor where Ronald was at first seemed very normal.

But after a few corners, the continuous and completely consistent corridors, and the sight of no differentiated reference objects, made Ronald understand that he was already in a labyrinth.

I want to find Hero Yinsi on the third floor.

The first problem he had to solve was to find the upward passage from the labyrinth on this floor.

And in addition to this, Ronald has a doubt in his heart.

Under the premise that the structure of the store has changed so much, is Heroines still where she should be?

"…"

"Heroyins, can you hear me? Just tell me if you hear it!"

Ronald shouted very simply.

In the shopping street before, he heard the mourning along the way, and knew that the sound insulation effect of the buildings here was not good.

Then the way to confirm the situation is very simple.

The most basic human function - shouting.

"I'm on the first floor of your store now!"

"If you're really here, just reply and I'll find a way to find it!"

"…"

"Ronald, I'm in the living room on the third floor, but I can't get out!"

"…"

"wait for me!"

After several consecutive shouts, Ronald waited for a few seconds.

What reassured him was that Hero Yinsi really responded upstairs, which proved that there was absolutely no problem with his actions!

Responding quickly, Ronald immediately began to raid the corridor maze on the first floor.

Although there doesn't seem to be any reference here to help.

But in the past, countless people have long summed up the way to conquer the maze - walk against the wall.

Pick a direction and stick with it.

So as long as it is not some insidious maze, most of them can find the exit in this way. As for the stairs to the second floor...

When Ronald entered here, he observed the changes in the layout of the entire building. Although I dare not say that the location is 100% sure, but after figuring out the shape of the maze, it is no problem to find the stairs.

"…"

Next, with Ronald is the boring maze exploration.

He kept walking along the wall, then silently recorded every turn, and simulated a rough topographical map in his mind.

During this period, apart from occasionally shouting a few words with Hero Yinsi to get rid of the loneliness, the rest is all about the exploration and memory of the maze.

Everything was going well, and Ronald also spent a full half an hour on the first floor.

When he finally confirmed the outline of the entire first floor, Ronald made reference to the location of the entrance where he entered, and confidently groped for the depths of the labyrinth in the southeast corner.

Then, at a position that was surrounded by three sides and only exposed the passage in one direction, Ronald walked in and saw the stairs going up.

have to admit-

In terms of painting style, the labyrinth picture book still maintains its usual quality.

Although the surrounding corridors and walls are exactly the same, the stairs leading to the upper floors are perfectly integrated here with exquisite design, without giving people a sense of abruptness and incongruity.

"…"

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, Ronald's first reaction was still to observe the surroundings.

The change on the second floor is also not small. The corridor that originally connected the space has been greatly expanded, and it has become a large square corridor. Dozens of rooms with closed doors are listed here in exactly the same appearance. .

So how do you find the stairs to the third floor?

With doubts, Ronald stepped forward and opened the door closest to him at will.

Then Ronald was speechless.

Behind the door is also a square ring corridor, where dozens of rooms are arranged in exactly the same way, making it impossible to see any clues.

The entire second floor of the shop was filled with these countless homogeneous structures.

If you lose your direction here, I am afraid that even the way of walking against the wall on the first floor will not be able to guarantee that you will not get lost.

"…"

We must take a completely different cracking method from the first floor.

First of all, the original spell in the labyrinth picture book failed, and Ronald lost the ability to confirm the location at any time.

Well in this case...

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Ronald's mind - he came up with a fairly simple solution.

Although this kind of maze is highly confusing in structure, it is extremely difficult to navigate.

But I can't bear that Ronald is a real person!

He can use some 'assistance tools' beyond the technical level!

So Ronald raised his head and shouted directly towards the ceiling:

"Hero Yinsi, the maze on the second floor is difficult. I need to keep myself from getting lost!"

"…"

It didn't take long for Heroines's response to ring on the ceiling:

"Ronald, I'm sitting still on my bed now, I promise nothing will change!"

"Just use the location where my shout came from to confirm your direction!"

With such a guarantee, Ronald boldly moved forward and opened the door at will to confirm the situation on the opposite side.

Even if the picture that appears in front of you is exactly the same scene.

But whenever something doesn't feel right, Ronald calls out and talks to Heroines on the third floor. Through the completely unchanged coordinate point of Hero Yinsi, he only took a quarter of an hour to find the passage to the third floor on the second floor.

pat—

Ronald stepped up the stairs confidently, ready to go to the third floor to meet up with Heroines.

But right now.

Gwendolyn's complaining voice sounded in his ear:

"Ronald, you are cheating!"

"Don't you feel ashamed to go through such a difficult labyrinth in such an excessive manner!"

"…"

Ronald froze.

He stood on the stairs and looked around. Gwendolyn herself was not there, only the voice came from the void.

Gwendolyn's attitude...

After making a judgment in his heart, Ronald said confidently:

"I didn't violate any of the rules of the labyrinth picture book!"

"And the easiest way to deal with the most difficult situations - isn't that the fun of navigating the labyrinth!"
