Behind the stone wall is a narrow road that only two people can pass.

Wet and sticky moss covered the entire stone wall, dripping and dripping.There were no extra exits around, so Xu Zhuo and Gu Chengye walked forward without saying a word.

The pebbles made a faint creaking sound, and the roar of the beast in the distance seemed to be approaching, echoing eeriely in the stone wall.

They came all the way to the end of the narrow road—a smooth black stone wall.

Above, is an iron platform, suspended vertically by two thick hemp ropes.

"It's really caring." Gu Chengye glanced at the rope, "I know that there is vision binding, and a ladder can't walk."

At this moment, accompanied by the beep of the chip, a cold voice sounded.

[Welcome to the Duke of Elvis's collection, which is the Duke's favorite place, where you can know a lot of behind-the-scenes stories. ]

[Subline: Learn about the history of the museum]

[If you pass the test, the subject can get the trigger conditions for formally entering the painting]

Xu Zhuo frowned slightly.

"It seems quite complicated." Gu Chengye stretched out his hand and pulled the hemp rope, "But we have to think about how to get up first."

Xu Zhuo looked up at him: "Isn't there a rope?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Chengye was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds he nodded and said, "Yes."

Without saying anything, he threw a hemp rope to Xu Zhuo.

The hemp rope is made of three strands, and the outside is covered with sharp thorns.

As soon as Xu Zhuo came into contact with the hemp rope, the rough and tingling feel made him frown.

But in a second, he put away his expression, tightened the hemp rope and climbed up at the speed of Gu Chengye.

Although the platform looked not high, the two still climbed for a while. In other words, the climbing itself was not difficult, but it became relatively difficult under the condition of visual field binding.

While taking into account the vision, it also needs to cooperate with speed and corresponding control.

For the latter item, the two of them didn't seem to care much.

There was a creaking sound from the connection of the rope above their heads, and they climbed silently. For a moment, only the roar of wild beasts remained in the platform space.

"What do you think?" Gu Chengye suddenly said.

Xu Zhuo: "What?"

"Officially entering the painting." Gu Chengye said, "In the previous experimental field, such simple prompts were rare."

Xu Zhuo thought for a few seconds.

"Tell us that there are only two situations." Xu Zhuo's face suddenly became a little pale, and his tone became gentle, "One is to avoid death, and the other is to go to death."

When Gu Chengye heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although Xu Zhuo said it succinctly, it was true.

Taking the condition of officially entering the painting, the logical result is nothing more than knowing the condition and then avoiding it completely, or...

Gu Chengye was slightly taken aback.

At this time, they were only half a meter away from the platform, so he propped up with one hand and flipped neatly into the fence area of ​​the platform.

He looked relaxed, without any fluctuation in his breathing. After putting away the hemp rope, his eyes fell on Xu Zhuo who was climbing: "You mean——"

Before the words fell, the figure in the field of vision swayed.

Gu Chengye subconsciously reached out and pulled.

And this made Gu Chengye frown even more.

Because, Xu Zhuo is not simply borrowing strength.

He seemed to put all his strength on Gu Chengye, as if his physical strength was exhausted, but for his situation, Gu Chengye suddenly had a guess.And when he saw the sweat on Xu Zhuo's forehead and the bloodless lips, this guess was confirmed.

"Are you hurt?" Gu Chengye frowned and asked.

"You don't need to worry about it." Xu Zhuo said.

Gu Chengye looked at Xu Zhuo who was breathing calmly, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

But at this moment, there was another roaring sound behind them, accompanied by the sound of metal objects hitting the ground, getting closer and closer to them.

The platform is like a branch extending from the art gallery.

On this wide plane, there was only one road in front of them, and a little yellow light shone through the crack of the locked door.

The cold system sound sounded at this moment——

[Because the system does not consider that there will be subjects who will open the branch line, it is currently being set up, please wait patiently. ]

[Time from opening: 10:00]

[During this period, subjects are not allowed to leave the platform]

Xu Zhuo snorted again.

He subconsciously wanted Gu Chengye to take care of the testing ground, but when these words were on his lips, he suddenly stopped.

For some reason, it seems that subconsciously, he has already acquiesced in the existence of Gu Chengye - and not long ago, he had put a knife on the other party's neck.

With peripheral vision, Xu Zhuo scanned the surroundings lightly. After confirming that there was nothing that could be a clue, he asked abruptly, "Why are you also a subject in Sunset City before?"

"A little accident."

Xu Zhuo: "What?"

How should I put it, in Xu Zhuo's view, Gu Chengye is just like him.

Although there is a big difference in temper and personality, they are all of the same nature in terms of concealment, and they will not let others know what they really think or what they have really experienced.

But just when Xu Zhuo was sure that Gu Chengye would not say anything more, he heard him say: "Maybe the supernatural organization wants my data."

Xu Zhuo frowned: "What do you mean?"

Gu Chengye hummed lightly.

"To put it simply, the supernatural organization will not send any officers to the test site, no matter what their level is." He said, "And there is only one case of doing so."

Xu Zhuo looked up at him.

But Gu Chengye didn't continue talking.

He glanced at the beeping wooden door not far away from the corner of his eye, and after a while, he said, "It's the same emotion you had when you collected evidence and deduced that I was the subject."

Xu Zhuo's eyes moved slightly.

"However, this kind of emotion shouldn't arise among the supernatural beings." Gu Chengye said, "Because they, or our group, shouldn't have such suspicious behavior."

Xu Zhuo looked at him for a few more seconds, and said, "Is it because of the flower arm?"

Gu Chengye was stunned, as if surprised, but this emotion disappeared in less than a second.

He squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue: "Who knows."

And just when Xu Zhuo was about to speak again, Gu Chengye straightened up from the fence.

"This subject already knows so many things." He said, "Then, I also have a few questions that I want to know."

Xu Zhuo: "Say."

Gu Chengye smiled, then gradually restrained his smile, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter with the injury on the shoulder?"

"How do you know it's the shoulder?"

"Judging from the degree of deformation of your movements just now, your left hand is obviously unable to exert force." Gu Chengye said, "At the same time, in the previous water tank, you gave up using the iron rod and basically used the method of kicking the face, so I inferred that it was due to a lack of strength in the shoulder, or an injury or something."

He paused, and then asked, "Was he injured in Sunset City?"

Xu Zhuo didn't answer him immediately, he thought for a few seconds, and finally said lightly: "Old injury."

"It happened a long time ago." Xu Zhuo's voice was still cold, "But I don't know the location or the reason."

"So it was the same reason for the matryoshka before, so you borrowed my hand and collected teardrops?"

Xu Zhuo let out a "hmm".

Gu Chengye squinted at him, as if he wanted to say something, at this moment, a crisp ding came from the chip.

The system prompt sounded again.

[Branch loaded]

[In this branch line, different situations may arise from the main task, and the consequences involved will also fluctuate with the subject's choice]

[At the same time, for the subjects participating in the branch line, the sensitivity of the chip test will increase, and it will be convenient for the supernatural organization to conduct investigations later]

Hearing the word "subject" mentioned by the system, and then contacting what Gu Chengye said just now, Xu Zhuo frowned subconsciously.

[May I ask if the branch plot is officially started? ]

[After opening, you need to enter the 148-digit door password before it can be officially operated, and a reminder will be broadcast next]

[If there are any special circumstances, the opening standard is based on the door password. ]

[whether]

Seeing the golden confirmation font slowly appear on the door, the two reached out their hands at the same time and met in the air, wanting to press the confirmation button displayed on the wooden door.

"It seems that the subject is very impatient." Gu Chengye returned to his original expression, and hooked his lips playfully, "It's a pity, I want to press it or not."

"You think I want to press OK?"

Gu Chengye: "Then I don't know."

Xu Zhuo snorted.

Gu Chengye didn't say anything more, loaded the gun neatly, and fired - the combination lock fell to the ground in an instant.

Everything is subject to the door opening.

The password is not required.

Accompanied by the automatic opening of the wooden door, Gu Chengye's voice rang in Xu Zhuo's ear: "If they follow up with a copy copy, I think the organization may explode."

"Very good." Xu Zhuo said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Chengye smiled heavily upon hearing this.

Just as they expected, there were quite a few iron cages in the room.

The empty picture frame on the side was placed, as if it was fully prepared for the next one to enter the painting, and on the side, the animal that made the iron cage make a violent sound also appeared in the eyes of Gu Chengye and the others——

A mighty lion.

In addition, there are leopards who have just woken up and half-opened their eyes, and green snakes spitting snake stars in a circle.

At this moment, they are staring at the two humans in front of them, exuding dangerous eyes—and all of this seems to match up with a certain painting in the art gallery.

Looking at these ferocious animals, Xu Zhuo and Gu Chengye didn't react at all.

As before, they strode into the room.

And the next moment, the floor vibrated as if inductively, and the viscous scarlet liquid slowly seeped out from the floor, meandering, and finally appeared in a sentence in their field of vision——

[Who will be the next person to enter the painting? ]
