This world is terrible

Chapter 279 Headless Virtue

After leaving the potion room of the dwarves, the road ahead became increasingly dark.The mist was lingering, and the beam of the flashlight seemed to be blocked by something, and it could only illuminate a distance of only a few steps ahead.

"Boss, how do I feel...it seems to be getting darker here."

Hearing the uneasy voice of his subordinate, the team leader stopped suddenly.

In fact, from the very beginning, he also had this feeling, as if he was in a boundless sea, and every time he moved forward, it was like falling, he was falling little by little to the remote seabed.

"Is it the illusion that the environment is too depressing?"

The leader glanced around, until then he really thought about the origin of this feeling.

The environment has not changed, what has been changing all the time is something else.

"It's a flashlight."

He raised the flashlight, looked at the beam of light that had dimmed a lot unconsciously, and frowned.

In order to ensure that there will be no mistakes during use, I obviously checked it before taking action, but now, what's going on?

The flashlight in front of me looked like it had just been dug out of the trenches. All the frosting on the surface had come off, revealing the rusty paint inside that looked like it had been soaked in rainwater.

At the lens, most of the bright wicks have been extinguished, and only a few are still stubbornly supporting them.

this flashlight.

No.

Is it all of our flashlights, for some unknown reason... constantly wearing themselves out?

The leader's gaze moved slightly, and suddenly moved to the pistol. Although the light was dim, it was still not difficult to see the newly added mottled paint marks on the surface of the gun body.

"Stop!"

He immediately stopped the team's advance, turned around, and looked a bit hideous under the dim light: "Check the integrity of the equipment and tools on each person!"

As soon as the voice fell, the leader looked at the position of the communication device on his waist, but the indicator light that was still working before had stopped flashing at some point, as if dead.

"f**k!"

He yanked it off and threw it hard on the ground.

"It's broken, it's all broken! There's a problem here! Any equipment and tools on our bodies can't escape the erosion of that thing at all!"

"From the very beginning, we shouldn't take the initiative to go deep!"

The others were a little stunned by the sudden scene. Seeing their boss's appearance, they had no choice but to ask cautiously:
"Then boss, now we can't go forward, and there is no place to retreat behind. What should we do?"

"Go back to the potions room."

The leading man only replied a few simple words, then got up and quickly turned back.

What the hell!Go fuck the Kolka maze!As the man walked, he kept cursing in his heart. At this time, he couldn't control the taboo of not turning back.

He just wanted to get back to the safe potion room as soon as possible, and wait, wait, until dawn, until the apostle found out that he and the others had lost contact, and then brought someone to check.

As long as... as long as it is that adult, after solving the problems brought about by the price of skills, he will be able to break through this maze and save himself!

rustle!

The dim flashlight kept flickering, and after the rage gradually subsided, the man whose heart was filled with endless fear due to the darkness, ran down the path in a daze, even ignoring the calls of his subordinates behind him.

"Boss! Boss...where are you going...that's not a demon..."

In the living room, looking at the leader man who had been separated from his subordinates on the screen, Gao Yi couldn't help smiling when he saw a special event on the tablet.

-

[Road that does not exist]

As you retreat in the maze, you suddenly find that the original one-way path has become two!
You hesitate, because they all look exactly the same, even the setting of the scene can't find any difference, and the only thing that allows you to distinguish is the trace that you may leave when you come.

So you choose:

→ [The road with obvious traces]

→ [The road with no obvious traces]
-

There are two different branches of this event.

Gao Yi took a look at "the road with no obvious traces" first, and found that this was actually the correct answer. As long as he walked this road, he could safely return to the dwarf's potion room.

What about the other one, the obvious one?

Gao Yi clicked in.

Another incident ensued.

-

[Headless Virtue]

You arrive at a quiet flowerbed that looks like it hasn't been visited in a long time, with creeping vines and mossy stones everywhere.

And in the middle of the garden, you found more than a dozen pale sculptures. They were riding on horses, holding spears high, as if they were hunting something, with unusual and impactful shapes.

At this moment, you suddenly realize that none of them have heads.

"Sculptures shouldn't have heads."

You recall what a famous sculptor once said: "It is both a beauty and a pity that we think about it and not let it think about us."

→ [Come closer, figure out the meaning of the action]
→ [Stay away, you always feel that something is staring at you]
-

This time there is no need for Gao Yi to open it, he also knows that this is the fatal situation designed by Bad Embryo Xiaodi again, the headless horsemen he has seen before must have come from this secret room.

In other words.

These sculptures - are alive!
……

"what happened?"

In the darkness, the leading man was running quickly, just looking at the increasingly deep road ahead, an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart began to sweep through his body: "Obviously this is the road, why do I feel this way... "

The plants and trees in front of me exude a sense of strangeness from the inside out.

But at some point, the sound of footsteps behind him also disappeared, and several of his subordinates did not follow at all. Where did they go?
On the path, the traces of trampling became more and more obvious, and the man found a withered flower, it just decayed and leaves, standing quietly under the dim light of the flashlight.

rustle……

He turned the beam of the flashlight, and then saw the second, third, and fourth... For a moment, countless dilapidated ruins came into view, paving the way ahead.

At last the path came to its end, and it was not a potions room, but a nursery.

The dead flowers and leaves shaded the ruins and broken walls. As the leader walked, he raised his dull flashlight and scanned the scenes in front of him.

The more he saw, the more he couldn't help imagining what the nursery looked like before:
As far back as the sun has not yet set, the light will pass through the door and fall among the flowers and leaves in the garden. The misty water vapor jumps up with the fountain and wets the canary birds passing by at low altitude. Fly to the white side of marble...

click.

The leading man stopped suddenly, staring blankly at the headless sculptures in front of him under the flashlight.

This is……

Riding on headless horses, they stand tall and pose in different postures, just like the gods in the spring hunt, unscrupulously swaying the beauty and horror from the inside out.

Rumble!
Thunder suddenly exploded overhead, illuminating the entire nursery pale.

And behind the light, there is a long-lasting darkness.

He found that his flashlight suddenly went out!
