After Ji Heng corrected the letter, he put it back into the shuttle-shaped iron box, and when he was about to close it, he took out another letter.

Later that night, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He struggled repeatedly between giving and not giving, and finally forgot what answer he had before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Forget it, just give it.

Although Ji Heng didn't sleep for a long time, he woke up very early in the morning and was in good spirits.After Minglang struggled to open his eyes on the next bed, he first greeted Ji Heng, and then said "Huh".

"Brother, you didn't sleep long yesterday, did you? Why did you get up so early?" Ming Lang stretched his waist, but still felt very sleepy. I don't know what season it is here, but I feel sleepy in all four seasons. Factors make people extra tired and lazy.

Ji Heng smiled at him twice, and restrained his expression: "Fortunately, I'm not that sleepy."

After waking up, Ji Heng went to look at the two players' rooms from yesterday. The mess in the room indicated that those things really happened last night, but the room was empty at the moment.

Li Weiwei came in a step late, "After we came back last night, I made a special trip to take a look. They were still there at that time. They were tied up, and it was impossible to run very far."

"The left and right are in this manor." Ji Heng pondered, "I'm not here during the day, so it's up to you to keep an eye on it."

Li Weiwei nodded, "Don't worry, you can do your own thing."

When eating in the restaurant, the players were very surprised that the witch would appear early this morning.

"Did someone go somewhere they shouldn't go after dark last night?" The witch's cold voice declared that she was obviously in a bad mood, "In the dungeon, bad players will be punished."

She walked around the restaurant as she spoke, her fingers slid across the chairs behind each player, and the long fingernails made a sharp and piercing sound when they touched the chairs, which made the players' goosebumps follow.

Ji Heng made sure that he didn't leave any clues last night, and his expression was calm. Li Weiwei was even more so, she didn't even look at the witch the whole time.

"Okay." There was a smile on the corner of the witch's mouth, "You are all good children, please have dinner, I just have nothing to do during the day, so I will play games with you."

The player's appetite has obviously been affected, and no one likes to play a damn game with her. As soon as they hear it, there is a new trap.

The witch walked to Ji Heng's side, knocked on the back of his chair, and said politely, "Young man, what did you know yesterday?"

Ji Heng stared at the witch's eyes calmly, and seeing the scrutiny in her eyes, her pupils were originally that kind of very light blue, which made her look a bit frozen.

As if he didn't notice it, Ji Heng gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, and made a "dang" sound when he touched the plate, "I'm very sorry, beautiful lady."

When the witch heard this, she showed displeasure.

Ji Heng smiled and continued: "Please listen to what I have to say. You know, the journey is long and hard. After I asked something, I remembered it very clearly. I wanted to tell you as soon as I came back, but I knocked on your room. door, you seem to have fallen asleep."

These words are made up, Ji Heng is trying to test the witch, and he doesn't know exactly what to test.

"I asked yesterday. Your fiancé seems to be busy at home so he left without saying goodbye, but he will definitely come back before the wedding. As for what happened, I really can't remember it. It's his family. Find him or something else."

The witch stared at Ji Heng for a while, but the expression Ji Heng expected did not appear on her face, she did not have peace of mind, joy or anxiety.

She just said "oh", "I go to bed early every night, so I will wait for you to come back tonight, but you have to come back before dark."

Ji Heng shrugged his shoulders, wondering: "There is no concept of time on the Wall of Truth, I can only try to save time on the road."

The witch didn't say anything more, even though there was only this restaurant in the entire manor, she had never eaten, at least not in front of everyone, which was different from the previous bosses.

Fortunately, Ji Heng already knew her secret.

Watching Ji Heng leave again today, Ji Heng's smile is still so bright today, thinking that he is going to see the dean again, Minglang looks away, "tsk", and said to Mengmeng: "Is he going to be punished?" ? Why do the more I think about it, the more I feel that they are dating at public expense?"

Mengmeng originally wanted to refute him, but found that she couldn't refute, so she turned her head and looked at Li Weiwei who was silent. Since Ji Heng left, she had no idea what she was thinking and was absent-minded.

When Ji Heng arrived at the Wall of Truth today, Fu Pinglan was already waiting. After both of them showed up, the system would start working.

As a result, it is still these two people today.

System: ...it's too difficult to be a good system.

【system:……】

[System: Copy 40—Puppet Manor, number of participants: [-]. 】

It seems that the system is really angry, even the parameters are thrown out directly, the meaning is very clear, there are forty players, twenty on each side, can't I change someone to play with me?

Ji Heng felt the system's grievances, but he would not be fooled. No matter what Ji Heng said at this time, it should still be judged as part of the game, so he felt that this was a new type of trap given by the system.

But Fu Pinglan is different. As long as he doesn't write on the question board, he can open and close his mouth without any influence.

Fu Pinglan raised his eyebrows: "Where there are 40 people, I saw a total of 20... oh no, 21 people."

[System: ... Don't try to get me to talk, I don't believe you don't know that all players are divided into two. 】

The corner of Fu Pinglan's mouth raised: "So what is the basis for you to divide into two? I think the mental retardation of this system is random distribution. Well, it may be revenge, such as not letting me and Ji Heng together, separated Fang Wei and Li Weiwei."

[System: ... the game is fair to all players. 】

[System: ... We hope that all players can work hard to survive until the end, but "survival" should not be the only ideal. Only by living with companions can the whole world survive. As for Li Weiwei, this is her own choice. 】

"Oh?" Fu Pinglan showed a triumphant smile: "So Li Weiwei should have been on our side, right?"

【system:……】

Fu Pinglan didn't intend to just let it go, "It's been three days since the dungeon started, and I've been puzzled since the first day, it can't be such a coincidence, our side is all players with high strength, and speaking of it, our side The three days in the game were as relaxing as a primary school student’s outing. Not only are the BOSS amiable, but the rewards they give players are so rich that it makes one feel... how can the game be so generous? Am I right?”

[System: ...] Fu Pinglan is really scary.

Fu Pinglan didn't just rely on premonitions. In fact, there was a great sense of dissonance between them and the previous settings of the game. Paralyzing people.

Their task is to ensure that the wedding of the Earl and Countess takes place normally, the question is where can't it happen normally?Because of this strange river in the entire dungeon world, all players are trapped in a world with only the manor. In the whole manor, there are only servants except the count and the countess. There is no clue that anyone will stop the wedding. sign.

If there was one more thing, it would be the countess's imperfect puppetry.

But in Fu Pinglan's world, these puppets are just decorations.It's a skill passed down from the countess's ancestors, but when she came to the countess, she never succeeded in doing it even once, so she really wanted to make one before the wedding, as a commemoration of their wedding.

The system will not set a dead end, and the clues will definitely be within the range that the player can perceive, and Fu Pinglan can also be sure that the situation on Ji Heng's side is very difficult.

Why set up more difficult game obstacles for relatively weaker players in dungeon [-]? After thinking about it for a while, Fu Pinglan felt that the dungeon wanted to force these players to become stronger.

"I even have reason to doubt." Fu Pinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, "The key to the final customs clearance should be in the other camp, right?"

[System: ...] I let you say everything, and this system has nothing to say.

Fu Pinglan decided to let the system go first, not because of his conscience, but because he saw the figure on the other side of the water screen swaying, and then jumped into the water.

Fu Pinglan also plunged in.

[System: ...] I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Fu Pinglan doesn't have a second shuttle-shaped iron box anymore, he DIY modified one himself, the two of them completed the smooth exchange ceremony underwater today, after tasting it carefully, I feel that this mood is a bit strange.

Seeing Ji Heng's two letter papers, Fu Pinglan first opened the one with the clues written on it. He kept thinking while reading. Ji Heng's words seemed to verify his guess. He raised his head towards the water curtain. Looking across, the person on the other side didn't know what he was thinking. He could see people in the water, but he couldn't touch or see clearly. He felt very dissatisfied.

Regarding Li Weiwei's proposal, Fu Pinglan was noncommittal, and of course it would be fine to pass it on.

When he turned to the letter below, Fu Pinglan couldn't hold back the smile on his lips.

His little friend... has grown up.

The game still has to continue, and today both sides have gained a lot, and Fu Pinglan is more and more sure that there must be something that can be connected in the background of these two worlds.

Ji Heng thought so too, and he asked Fu Pinglan to pay more attention to the calendar and watch in the manor, but Fu Pinglan wrote on the paper and told Ji Heng that there was no calendar in the manor, and as for the fiancé's house that Ji Heng said, because there was no Photos, two people can only compare with a few words.

Fu Pinglan had seen a similar house, where the young earl lived. As for the difference, there was no darkroom on the first floor of this house.

Fu Pinglan gave Ji Heng a picture of a wedding dress without coloring, which was designed by the earl himself for the wedding. Of course the wedding dress has already been made, but there is no photo, so Fu Pinglan simply imitated it. I drew a sketch.

At first glance at the picture of the wedding dress, Ji Heng didn't think too much about it. He didn't know what the use of the picture of the wedding dress was, so he put it away first.

However, a witch's wedding must have a wedding dress. Ji Heng thought that if he took a look, he might find something else.

Having agreed with the witch to go back early, Ji Heng counted the time on the way back, and arrived at the manor after the sunset.

As soon as he jumped off the boat, Minglang and Mengmeng ran over in a panic, "Brother, it's not good, something happened!"

Ji Heng only saw the two of them, and felt something unusual when he didn't see Li Weiwei. Sure enough, Mengmeng's next sentence was: "Li Weiwei was arrested by that old witch!"

It turned out that in the morning, the witch said that she wanted to play a game. Except for Ji Heng, who was not there, and two other players who could not be seen during the day, everyone else participated in it.

A game of one, two, three wooden figures.

After losing, he had to fight with the puppet, which was more exciting than at night. Mingming's strength was weak, and Li Weiwei was targeted by the witch in order to help him break the rules.

Minglang blamed herself: "It's all my fault that I'm too weak for holding her back."

Mengmeng handed Ji Henggang a note: "This was given to me before Weiwei was arrested. She seemed to know that she would be arrested."

"There's no need to say these things now." Ji Heng comforted Qinglang, and opened the note in his hand.

[During the day, those two players are puppets. 】

Ji Heng rubbed his fingers over the words on it, suddenly eager to see the witch.

The witch came out of her house, turned around and closed the door, and saw Ji Heng standing at the door.

Ji Heng had a slight regret on his face: "Those monsters on the road are too vicious, and it takes a lot of time to deal with them every time, but luckily." Ji Heng smiled and said, "You haven't rested yet."

The uncomfortable expression on the witch's face flashed across, "I'm not in such a hurry, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

Ji Heng became anxious: "But I really made a very important discovery today, are you sure you don't want to listen? Then I don't know if I will forget something when I wake up tomorrow morning..."

The witch's expression softened, and she invited Ji Heng into the room. She glanced at her watch on the wall, and said to Ji Heng, "I'll give you 15 minutes."

In 15 minutes, it will be dark.

After Ji Heng came in, he was not in a hurry, he said unhurriedly: "I heard that my friend offended you unintentionally today, and you locked him up?"

The witch looked at the watch on the wall again, and urged Ji Heng: "What news did you get, tell me quickly."

Ji Heng's face was calm, but he felt that he had guessed right, "That's right, this news is very important, I hope you can release my friend, don't you think it would be fairer?"

The witch glanced at Ji Heng indifferently, got up and walked to the bottom of the stairs. It looked like the room had the same structure as last night. There was a lock with a chain on the door of the darkroom. After walking in, the witch brought Li Weiwei out.

She should have experienced some fighting and struggling. Li Weiwei had some scars on her body, but they were not too serious.

The witch pushed the man towards Ji Heng, and Ji Heng supported Li Weiwei who was staggering with his hands bound, and after confirming that he was fine, he blocked the man behind him.

"You can talk." The witch's cold eyes glanced at the two of them, the warning was obvious, and it depends on whether Ji Heng's news today can satisfy her.

Ji Heng's tone was unhurried: "He said, 'Don't worry about being a puppet, nothing is too late, and all the regrets that make you feel that you are not perfect are also the most special scenery'." When Ji Heng spoke, Always keep an eye on the witch's expression.

"He said, 'You will be the most beautiful bride, provided that you have to sleep well during the few days when he is away,' so you must maintain a beautiful mood. He likes your smile the most. The sun is still shining..."

These words were not made up, they were written by Fu Pinglan on a note and told to Ji Heng, and they were said by the Earl and the Countess every day when they were showing affection. A line that Ji Heng was not sure about was now unexpectedly affirmed. s answer.

How could the same man, two women, both women being puppets have nothing to do with each other?

Ji Heng thought it was normal for the same man to coax a woman with similar words, so he used the earl's words to coax the countess to coax the witch, but the effect was beyond his expectation. The witch's expression changed several times, and she looked at Ji Heng with greedy eyes. , and want to hear more and more.

She didn't seem to realize that 15 minutes had passed until it got dark, and turned her head anxiously to drive Ji Heng and Li Weiwei out.

Ji Heng and Li Weiwei walked a few steps after going out, turned their heads and squatted in the nearby grass. Ji Heng stared at the witch's room while asking how Li Weiwei was hurt.

Li Weiwei: "It's nothing, she didn't punish me because of the game, it's because I know too much, but this punishment also has an advantage."

Li Weiwei: "There is a tunnel in that darkroom. If I'm right, it should lead directly to her fiance's house. But Ji Heng, you actually tricked her just now."

"No." Ji Heng said, "I didn't lie to her. In fact, those words are indeed what her fiancé would say, but it's not today, but maybe a long, long time ago. Sister Weiwei, I know that we and Fu Pinglan Fang Wei and the others The world is different."

"Oh? Have you found the passage to the world?"

Ji Heng shook his head: "Not yet, but I know that the difference between the two worlds is actually time."

Li Weiwei didn't understand, Ji Heng explained: "You remember you said that she looks like a little girl during the day, but how can a little girl make such a voice, but at night, she looks old and her voice fits well, that's because, at night, she looks like a little girl. In the real world, she is already in her seventies and eighties, as for the daytime, I don’t know if what we see is her puppet or—”

"Daytime is an illusion, the world she forged and wanted us to see."

So she never eats or drinks in front of the players, so she will be sad when her fiancé leaves, but the groom is not anxious before the wedding, because... the ghost knows if her groom has died long ago.

"It's completely dark." Ji Heng glanced at the direction of the room again, and there was not even a light in it, "She will definitely not come out, if she bumps into the player, her secret will be revealed, you said at this time Is it safe for us to take a peek?"

Li Weiwei rolled her eyes: "Did you bring me the message to Fang Wei?"

Ji Heng nodded, feeling a little regretful at the same time, "Then I probably won't see Fu Pinglan tomorrow."

Li Weiwei turned her head and said to Ji Heng: "If it is true as you said, I will be in a state of excitement for the next few days. You are waiting for me here. I will go over and have a look. There is an accident and we also lost one person. Fang Wei will not be there tomorrow. It's gone for nothing."

Ji Heng: "...Then you really have something good or bad, I'm afraid he will beat me up."

Li Weiwei: "Don't worry, he won't, because he can't beat Fu Pinglan."
