Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Below the entrance was a narrow stone staircase with dim torches lit on both sides of the passage, illuminating the way ahead. Everyone walked down the stone steps carefully, the sound of their footsteps echoing in their ears.

"This seems to be an underground palace." Zhao Yuxin exclaimed. She looked up at the staggered stone carvings above, her eyes flickering with curiosity. "But it doesn't look like the ancient castle we saw at the beginning."

"It is indeed spectacular." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, "It is not like that. We should be careful. We don't know what kind of danger is hidden here."

The crowd continued to move forward, and suddenly, a low roar came from the front. They immediately stopped and listened attentively with bated breath.

"What's that sound?" Li Rongxue asked nervously, and she subconsciously tightened the weapon in her hand.

"I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound like a good thing." Mu Qingru said solemnly.

Everyone looked at each other, then walked cautiously in the direction of the sound. Soon, they came to a spacious underground hall, and saw a huge gargoyle standing in the middle of the hall, with its eyes closed, as if it was sleeping.

"Is this... a gargoyle?" Zhao Yuxin said in surprise, "Shouldn't it be in the copy of Escape from Alien Bay? How did it appear here?"

"It seems that this copy fusion is really interesting." Bian Tingchu chuckled, then carefully walked around the gargoyle, "Let's ignore it and continue looking for clues."

However, at this moment, the gargoyle suddenly opened its eyes, let out a deafening roar, and pounced on the crowd at an astonishing speed.

"Run!" Lin Xuan shouted, then pulled Zhao Yuxin to the side.

Everyone dodged the gargoyle's attack and looked for opportunities to counterattack. Mu Luoxi and Mu Qingru teamed up to attack and tried to repel the gargoyle.

After a fierce battle, everyone finally knocked the gargoyle to the ground. It let out a shrill wail, then turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated into the air.

"Huh...finally solved it." Bian Tingchu said while panting, "I didn't expect this gargoyle to be so troublesome."

"Yes, it seems we can't take it lightly." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.

The group continued walking forward, and soon they came to an underground library, but there were no books in it.

I saw some medicines placed on the shelf where various books were supposed to be placed.

"Huh? Why are there so many potions here?" Zhao Yuxin walked closer to a shelf curiously, gently picked up a bottle, and looked at it carefully. "And these potions look like they have been there for a long time. There is so much dust on them. I wonder what they are used for."

"Be careful, don't touch it casually." Lin Xuan hurriedly reminded. He walked to Zhao Yuxin, took the medicine from her hand, and examined it carefully. "These medicines may be very dangerous. We should not act rashly."

"Yeah, you're right." Zhao Yuxin nodded and retracted her hand in fear. "Then what should we do next? There doesn't seem to be any clues here."

"Let's look for it again, maybe there's some hidden place." Bian Tingchu suggested. She began to look around the underground library, trying to find something unusual.

At this moment, Mu Luoxi suddenly pointed at a corner of the bookshelf and shouted, "Look over there! There seems to be a mechanism!"

Everyone gathered around after hearing this, and saw that there was indeed a hidden mechanism in the corner of the bookshelf. Lin Xuan pressed the mechanism, and the bookshelf slowly moved, revealing a hidden passage.

"It seems we have found the clue." Lin Xuan said with a smile. He took the lead in walking into the passage, and others followed closely behind.

The passage was not long, and they soon reached the end. Suddenly, everyone's eyes opened up and saw that this was a huge underground laboratory with various strange instruments and test tubes placed in the center.

"Is this... where those potions are made?" Zhao Yuxin said in surprise. She looked around, trying to find more clues.

"It's very likely." Lin Xuan nodded, and he began to carefully examine the instruments and test tubes, trying to find some useful information.

At this moment, an instrument in the center of the laboratory suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light. Everyone stepped back and looked at the instrument warily.

The light gradually dissipated, and only an illusory figure appeared in the center of the instrument. The figure looked very blurry, but everyone could still feel the powerful aura emanating from it.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the figure asked. "It"'s voice was cold and majestic.

"We are here to look for clues." Lin Xuan answered with courage, "Excuse me, who are you? Where is this place?"

The figure was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I am the NPC of the dungeon, the creator of this laboratory, and also one of the final bosses of this dungeon. If you want to pass this dungeon, you must defeat me."

"Defeat you? This..." Shi Qi asked, "How do we win?"

The figure smiled slightly, and a hint of sarcasm seemed to appear on that illusory face: "It's very simple. As long as you can crack the three trials I set, I will acknowledge your strength, let you leave me, and give you the rewards you deserve."

"Triple Trial?" Bian Tingchu frowned slightly, but his eyes sparkled with a spark of challenge, "Then we accept the challenge!"

“Very good, you have courage.” The figure nodded approvingly, and then his body flashed, turning into countless points of light and dissipating in the air, leaving only the voice echoing in the laboratory, “The first trial will test your unity - ‘The Edge of Dreams’.

One of you is trapped in a dream. If you fail to find the hidden key to the next level within the specified time, your friend will be trapped in a dream forever."

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed and they fell into a brief silence.

Mu Luoxi said: "The edge of the dream? Is it endless? It sounds a bit troublesome."

"Then let's get started now." Mu Qingru analyzed calmly, "First, we need to determine who is trapped in the dream."

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly, Mu Luoxi's body began to become transparent, as if he would disappear at any time.

"Oh no, it's Luo Xi!" Mu Qingru shouted and reached out to grab him, but missed.

"Don't panic, everyone. According to the NPC, as long as we find the key within the specified time, we can rescue him." Bian Tingchu quickly calmed down and began to observe the surrounding environment.

The laboratory was filled with all kinds of strange instruments and test tubes, some of which emitted a faint red light, like blood.

"These instruments and test tubes... could there be any clues hidden in them?" Li Rongxue asked. There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice, but her eyes were fixed on those strange devices.

Lin Xuan walked to an instrument that emitted a faint blue light and examined it carefully: "There are some strange symbols on these instruments. They look like some kind of code or instructions."

"Yes, we have to unravel the secret of these symbols." Zhao Yuxin also came over. As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper and started taking notes.

Shi Qi walked to a test tube rack and gently picked up a test tube. The liquid in the test tube flickered with a strange light under the light: "Could the liquid in these test tubes be used to make some key props?"

"It's possible." Bian Tingchu nodded in agreement, "But we have to be careful. We don't know if these liquids are safe."

Mu Qingru came to a huge instrument and carefully observed the scales and buttons on it. Suddenly, he found a small groove on the instrument, which was very similar in shape to the key mentioned by the NPC.

"I found where the key might be!" Mu Qingru said, and the others gathered around after hearing what she said.

"But how do we open this groove?" Zhao Yuxin frowned. She looked at the complicated buttons on the instrument, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Let me try." Shi Qi said, and then she began to press the buttons one by one according to the prompts on the instrument.

As the button was pressed, the instrument began to hum and the grooves gradually became brighter.
