The Midnight Owl

"Ding--"

: After the badge is scanned, it meets the opening requirements of the Wishing House.

A reminder, swept away 13 badges, together with the hidden item column, disappeared from the pencil case of the five partners.

The sound of banter in the ear followed closely——

【Owl: Baby, the wishing house will open in 13 minutes, think about the wishes you want to bring to the next ten levels~~】

The sense of emptiness brought about by being forced to forget on 13/23 still lingers in his heart, and the new reminders are so closely connected that there is no time for thinking, so that it took a long time for Xu Wang to realize that he has really come here.

Raising your eyes, the lake-blue door is like a clear blue sky.

He has no wish to take to the last ten levels, he just wants to close the owl.After thinking about it for a long time and hesitating for a long time, when he finally arrived at the door, he didn't even think about it for a second, and he was so sure that he even surprised himself.

Wu Sheng, who was in front of the door, turned around and seemed to feel his gaze and mood.

As if making up his mind, Xu Wang let out a long breath and gave him a mischievous smile.

Wu Sheng looked at him, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't get enough of it. There was light in his eyes, the kind of light that if you want the moon, I will pick it for you, and if you want the star, I will net it for you.His lips moved slightly, two silent but clear words: accompany you.

If you want to leave, I will accompany you. If you want to close, I will accompany you. Just do what you want, even if you go on a rampage, there is me.

Xu Wang felt hot in his heart, spreading to his eyes.

"I can't take it anymore, when are you two going to talk?" Qian Ai sat cross-legged on the carpet, frowning and staring, his face full of impatience, like an angry arhat.

"Ah? What are you talking about?" What's the matter between him and Wu Sheng?I almost didn't wear a couple outfit!

Captain Xu's abnormal expression made Qian Ai even more angry: "Don't you two want to close the first 13 levels! This wishing door is about to open, and you are going to hide it from us?"

Kuang Jinxin and Chi Yingxue didn't speak, but they also consciously sat in the same position as Qian Ai, and their positions were already clear.

Xu Wang had indeed chatted with Wu Sheng more than once, and wanted to close the first 13 levels, but no one knew what price to pay. He didn't know what to do, so how could he mention it to his teammates?Moreover, Mr. Fan said that the choices in the wishing room are independent. He can choose to close it, and his teammates can also choose to leave. He doesn't want his teammates to pay for his willfulness.

But the question now is, how did the wind come out?

Xu Wang was the first to go to see Wu Sheng, with sharp eyes.

Junshi Wu opened his eyes in confusion, and every strand of hair was written with "injustice".

"Talk," Qian Ai couldn't see the eye movement, and urged impatiently, "It's about this time, and you really plan to hide it to the end, and you two will be bloody duo?"

Xu Wang stopped guessing, and simply asked, "How do you know?"

Qian Ai came to the high ground, and was asked this question, and suddenly felt guilty, and had no choice but to betray his teammates.Chao Kuang Jinxin turned his head: "He told me."

Xu Wang glanced at Kuang Jinxin.

Student Kuang was caught off guard, and immediately turned to Chi Yingxue: "He eavesdropped."

Xu Wang shot Chi Yingxue again with his gaze.

Chi Yingxue also turned her head like her predecessors... there was no one else.

"Well, I eavesdropped."

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng: "..."

For the next time, no one spoke.

Until 13 minutes passed, the lake-blue door slowly opened, and Qian Aila passed Jinxin and Chi Yingxue, hugged each other, and on behalf of the teammates, gave the final word to this matter: "Ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties have been passed together In the end, I wanted to learn the truth, and dumped the three of us, which is a good idea!"

The universe, starry sky, extremely quiet, extremely beautiful.

No one expected that there was such a place behind the lake-blue gate.The five portraits entered the vast universe, like a speck of dust, floating in this boundless star cluster.

【Owl: Welcome to the Wishing House...】

The voice in the ear seems to come from the depths of this universe.

【Owl: As a reward for entering the last ten levels, I can fulfill your wish with a limited condition...】

【Owl: Baby, tell me your wish...】

Xu Wang took two steps forward and turned his head.

Wu Sheng nodded with a smile.

Kuang Jinxin clenched his fist to encourage.

Qian Ai kept raising his chin to urge him.

Chi Yingxue blew her breath upwards.

Withdrawing his gaze and staring straight ahead, Xu Wang's voice was clear and firm: "I want to talk to Owl, I want to talk to Owl, I want to talk to Owl—"

The "universe" trembled suddenly, and meteors flew across the sky, dragging their tails of fire and burning away the beauty of tranquility.

After the five people regained their stability, their vision returned to clarity, and as far as they could see, there was still a vast galaxy.

Just a secret room with four walls, like an empty house, like a prison cell.

An image slowly appeared on a wall, first an owl head, and then slowly disappeared to reveal two selection boxes.

1.关闭1/23-13/23。

2. Leave early and never re-enter.

There is no "ding", no in-ear notification sound, and even the projection on the wall is not very clear. This link is so simple that it doesn't look like an owl.

But the more this is the case, the more people feel the difference between this place and other places.

Here it does not belong to the owl, or in other words, it does not belong to the current owl that has been restored.It belongs to the owl who only finds freedom for a short time in the gaps of bugs. This rough choice hut has exhausted all its energy.

But it still didn't stop the erosion, so the powerful repairing power in the owl inserts option 2 abruptly.

No one spoke.

Cover option 1 with one hand, then second, third, fourth, fifth.

Palms covering the backs of hands, five people, one heart.

The image on the wall became blurred, like an old TV whose signal was disturbed, and then disappeared suddenly.

The Chamber of Secrets returned to silence.

But soon, a faint voice appeared in the air, with a familiar electric sound.

【Owl: Finally... here...】

Xu Wang shook his head suddenly: "That's the voice, the one who talked to me ten years ago, that's the voice!"

Ignoring the shock, Wu Sheng hurriedly asked, "How can I turn off the owl?"

[Owl: You can only... close the first thirteen levels... the back... the back is different...]

"Then how can we close the first thirteen levels?" Qian Ai was curious and anxious, "Can you always turn your voice into eight times the speed?"

[Owl: The first thirteen levels...each level...has a piece of owl jade...find it...crush it...]

Wu Sheng: "Owl jade?"

As if answering him, a purple transparent crystal plate slowly appeared on the wall.The five partners stared wide-eyed, it was definitely not the first time they had seen this thing.

Qian Ai: "Isn't this something that Wang Wang dug out in the flying chess level!"

[Owl: 13 Yuan Owl Jade... the same night... find it out... smash it...]

"Same night?" Kuang Jinxin blurted out and shut up immediately, but his mind was full of question marks. Not to mention that their current score is set at 13/23 and they can't move, even if other levels are really open to them, they will be divided into five groups at most .

"There are only five of us." Qian Ai also found out the problem, "Or, can you let us come and go freely in each level at any time?"

【Owl: Can't...】

Qian Ai: "..."

"Same night, does it mean between 0:00 and 5:00? You must find all the owl jades in the thirteen levels within this time period of the same night, and then smash them into pieces?" Wu Sheng asked more precisely.

【Owl: Yes...】

[Owl: Owl Jade...is connected to the outside...the energy source...must be destroyed at the same night...the remaining one...can also make other levels...reopen...]

The five partners were stunned, and then suddenly realized.It's no wonder that after Xiao Sanhua broke the crystal board, they couldn't enter the flying chess level the next day, because the passage was cut off, and they had to rely on the energy of other levels to recover.

This is like a parallel circuit. If one line is broken, the other lines will still have power. If you want to completely cut off the power, you must tear off all the lines.

And they can only be fast, slow down, and the owl will be resurrected in full state.

This self-healing function is terrible.

【Owl: Every level...the position of Owl Jade...】

Just as Xu Wang was about to ask this question, he realized that Owl had spoken on his own initiative, so he immediately pricked up his ears.

The other partners also unconsciously held their breath and listened quietly, knowing in their hearts that this was the most important thing. If there was no map, coordinates, or reminders, they might not be able to find a piece of owl jade in a hundred nights, let alone one night.

[Owl: ...the location...at...at...at...]

The sound of electric current became louder without warning.

This was the critical moment, and the five of them were so anxious that they clenched their fists tightly and didn't know where to put their strength.

Thirteen very fuzzy maps appeared on the wall, like thumbnails that hadn't really been opened. The resolution was so low that the five people stared at them so blindly that they couldn't see any of them clearly.

"Do you want us to help you or not!" Qian Ai was anxious, "You can even use a microscope for this picture..."

Wu Sheng stopped him: "No, there is a problem."

Owl is still repeating that "at...", under the cover of the noisy electrical sound, it looks like a computer that freezes.

"It's being disturbed." Wu Sheng stared at the wall, looking at the thirteen maps on it, and just about to get a little clearer, he quickly retracted, "By the real owl."

This is nonsense, but the partners all understand.

The owl who talked to them just now is more like a small group of independent consciousness that has been separated, hiding in option 1, dormant and waiting.The real owl was repaired ten years ago and has been in operation until now.

Since the latter can insert option 2 into the former, it seems that it is not difficult to interfere with option 1.

But at this time, it is really annoying. They haven't seen the map clearly, and they still have a lot of precautions to ask!

"Hiss..." Xu Wang's arm suddenly felt like it was burning, and Xu Wang gasped.

A light and shadow flew out of his arm and landed on the wall: "Squeak—"

The burning sensation is gone.

The light and shadow dispersed, and Xiao Sanhua tilted her head to look at them.

"Woof..." Xu Wang called softly.

Xiao Sanhua raised her paws to wash her face, and then let out a soft cry: "Squeak..."

This sound actually carried a hint of nostalgia.

The current sound gradually faded, the owl's voice became clear again, and the map on the wall became clear, but Xiao Sanhua's body became more and more transparent.

[Owl: The location of Owl Jade...is on...the map...]

The map was completely clear, and the last faint outline of Xiao Sanhua disappeared.

This was given to him by the owl back then with its own energy, and now it has taken back the energy to resist the erosion of the restoration power.

Xu Wang figured it out, but he couldn't stop the slight sourness in his heart.He doesn't call barking out often, because he is afraid that too often will affect the little guy's lifespan.He knew the idea was a little ridiculous, but every time he saw the icon in the pencil case, his heart warmed up.It's been with them all along, he knows it.

Perhaps it was the little Sanhua who provided enough energy, and the owl did not fluctuate again.Wu Sheng read all the maps and memorized them in his heart. The other four partners divided the maps in 3-3-3-4 and memorized them for the second time, double insurance.

Remember, the map is still there.

"That, we remember." Xu Wang said tentatively.

The image on the wall slowly disappeared.

Xu Wang was inexplicably relieved, but the owl was still there: "Let me ask one more question, if the first thirteen levels are closed, what will happen to the last ten levels?"

【Owl: It won't affect...the first thirteen...the last ten...two...places...]

"But there will be no more people in the last ten levels, because we cut off the source, right?"

[Owl: Yes... No one will be involved again... Those who have already been involved... As long as the results... Still in the top thirteen levels... Leave immediately... Never enter again...]

"What about those people in the checkpoint? I mean those who live in the checkpoint." Xu Wang knew that they might be just a bunch of energy or data, but when they resembled real people to the extreme, it was impossible to tell the truth from the fake. .

【Owl: What was destroyed...is the access...not the checkpoint...the checkpoint and everything inside...still exist...but...relieved...]

The five partners looked at each other, what does this mean?

【Owl: Never again...never...day after day...day after day...day after day...】

Owl's tone of voice didn't change, but somehow it made people feel sad.

"What if, I mean if," Xu Wang swallowed, "what if we fail?"

【Owl: Forever...on 13/23...or...the endless sea...】

"What?" Qian Ai's spine shivered, "Can't get out? Have you been in the owl all your life?"

[Owl: 0:00...5:00...Time remains the same...Never ends...]

Qian Ai breathed a sigh of relief, that seems to be negotiable, just treat it as if you haven't cleared the customs all your life, and report it every night...Damn, he suddenly shivered, he was so tortured by the owl that he almost lost his temper and lost his bottom line!

Can't fail, must succeed!

【Owl: The time...is up...】

It seemed that the end had really come to an end, Owl didn't give them a chance to speak, and a burst of dizziness struck.

The five partners waited for the Gudong to hit the ground and fell on an unknown street, but they waited and waited, only fainted, but did not fall.

The light dissipated, and the simple secret room was still in front of me.

"What's going on?" Qian Ai looked left and right, "There won't be another bug, right?"

It's been trapped before the war started?

"Team, captain..." Kuang Jinxin suddenly trembled, "Your arm..."

Xu Wang bowed his head, and the pencil case opened automatically, and the "Cao Chong Said Elephant" inside was emitting a strange purple light.

He almost forgot about this stationery!

【Owl: I can fulfill your wish with a limited condition...】

The notification sound was uploaded from Xu Wang's arm.

Without a trace of joking tone, it is very similar to the owl ten years ago, but without the intermittent weakness.

What is even more astonishing is the content of the reminder. They had heard it when they first entered the wishing room, but they ignored it and called the owl from ten years ago. Now, is it back to the original point?

But no, the suffocatingly beautiful universe did not appear, and Owl did not say that this was the reward for entering the last ten levels. More importantly, that time it was an ear reminder, and everyone could hear their own. I really want to continue through the next ten levels, everyone can make a wish, but now, Owl seems to only say it to one person.

【Owl: Tell me your wish...】

The voice continued step by step, and the lines were exactly the same as the owl who just entered the wishing room, except that they didn't call them baby.

"Close the access to the first thirteen levels and the outside world." Wu Sheng said suddenly.

[Owl: Does not meet the restrictions. 】

Xu Wang didn't know, so I looked at him.

Wu Sheng took his hand and looked at the glowing "Cao Chong Xiangxiang": "It has the ability to travel through all levels at any time."

[Owl: Does not meet the restrictions. 】

Wu Sheng: "Just the first thirteen levels, or the last ten levels?"

[Owl: Does not meet the restrictions. 】

Wu Sheng pondered for a moment, then took a step back: "Having the ability to communicate with any passer-by in any level at any time."

[Owl: The first thirteen levels are fine, but the last ten levels do not meet the restrictions. 】

The corners of Wu Sheng's tense mouth finally curled up: "Then it will take the first thirteen levels."

[Owl: As you wish. 】

Cao Chong said that the elephant disappeared, and the purple light merged into a shallow light band, lingering around Xu Wang's arm, for a long time, and slowly fading away.

Real weightlessness comes.

Xu Wang, in a whirlwind, finally understood—the owl ten years ago had two things stored in him, a meow and a wish.
