Hyperreal board game

As if a bolt of lightning had split above the foggy plain of thinking, An Ge suddenly said, "I understand..."

The others showed eager expressions, but An Ge shook his head, "For the sake of caution, let's exchange information first. How did you meet that tauren?"

Xianxian said angrily: "It's not that Yuli..."

An Ge and Yi Zai were stunned together: "What? You Li??"

Xianxian looked preoccupied, but didn't pay attention to their anomalies. Instead, he exchanged glances with Liufeng Huixue, and then looked away guiltily, "It's, it's not because of her hands and mouth..."

She finished the story in a few words.

After running away with the others, Xianxian, Liufenghuixue, Susanoo and Yuli walked together.

Although they walked together, everyone intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from Yuli, and the three of them gathered together, keeping a little distance from Yuli.

Yuli hasn't spoken much since she was beaten and scolded, and other people don't care about her at all.

But when she passed a truck (God knows why there is a big truck in the parking lot of the downtown area), all of a sudden she ran to open the door of the truck, and let the Minotaur out.

The burly tauren broke free from the woolen thread that entangled him, and walked out, shouting at the same time: "Sell a woman as a sacrifice, and we will spare the others!"

An Ge and Yizai also looked at each other, "Let me guess, you pushed Yuli out?"

Xianxian frowned, as if feeling pain in his stomach again, subconsciously pressed his hand on his side, "I, what can I do! I'm scared too..."

Speaking of the second half of the voice down.

"What if they push me out?"

An Ge nodded slowly, but did not speak.

In that case, she should not be harsh.

So An Ge didn't get entangled in this matter, but said calmly: "Then I guess, it didn't let others go."

"Yes... you all saw it." Xianxian nodded dejectedly, and Liufeng Huixue hunched over and hid behind her, as if trying to shrink into nothingness.

An Ge stroked his chin and pondered, and asked again, "You saw the Minotaur... No, did that tauren kill Yuli?"

Xianxian looked up and recalled, "So, at that time, it threw Yuli into the cargo compartment, and the cargo compartment was full of wool. It had been pulling for a long time to get rid of the wool... If it wasn't for the beard Zuo Zhinan insisted on throwing Yuli out, maybe we would all run away at that moment."

It seems that Yuli had taunted Susanoo and Yujian before, causing unexpected harm to them...

"Wait a minute!" Xianxian was also very perceptive, "Isn't the Minotaur just a tauren? Why did you change your mind just now?"

An Ge touched the stone necklace pendant subconsciously with her fingers, and replied, "Because I suspect that the tauren's name should be Siospeth."

"Huh?" Compared with the other two, Yizi, who read the letter together, reacted faster, "Ariadne's childhood sweetheart?"

An Ge nodded, and shared Ariadne's letter with the other two who were at a loss, while continuing to study the stone pendant, "And from the beginning to the end, we didn't see any hints about the Minotaur, The skill of the short sword is to kill the Lord of the Labyrinth. The ghosts mentioned only the Lord of the Labyrinth. In addition, the reminder about the death of the tauren is still the Lord of the Labyrinth. This reminder is really hidden, but Liu Feng returned Xue understands Greek, otherwise we don't know how long we would have to struggle."

When Liu Fenghuixue heard himself being mentioned, his body that seemed to be curled up to the limit actually shrank back, his voice was so small that he could barely hear, "Actually...the Greek I learned in my second foreign language...that, actually, means Taurus It's a cow..."

So Minotaur means "Minos' bull".

According to Liu Fenghuixue, Theo means "God", and Theospes means "Son of God".

Yi Zai was also thoughtful, "It's a god and a bull, so isn't that a Taurus? Actually, I'm a Taurus. Brother Clay, how about you?"

An Ge didn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being, but suddenly grabbed Yi Zai's arm, his eyes sparkled, "You are right, Taurus! Zeus once turned into a bull to seduce the goddess, and later gave birth to a child...so Minos' The cow is the son of God!"

Mystery solved.

Ariadne's childhood friend Theospes suddenly disappeared one day.In fact, it should have been imprisoned in the labyrinth by Ariadne's father, King Minos.

As for the reason... it probably has something to do with Theospeth's life experience.

It has been mentioned in myths and legends that the Minotaur was born of the concubine of King Minos and the divine bull, and the king who was cuckolded must have been very angry.

This part is probably adjusted by the game designer according to the needs of the plot, so Theospes is probably the child of Zeus. However, because of the blood, it is estimated that Theo will gradually become a monster with a tauren from a certain age.

However, because of his status as the son of Zeus, King Minos did not dare to kill him, so he had to keep him locked up, and he sent living people into the maze every year to feed them, and then he had the simple and straightforward "Minos' cow". name.

And those ghosts who "find a substitute"... should be the dead who have been fed to the tauren for many years.

As for why he put on the pose of riding a train, An Ge felt very sorry, but couldn't figure it out, maybe it was the bad taste of the game designer?

Then, Ariadne, who didn't know the inside story, thought Theo was killed by the tauren, and helped Theseus deal with him.

When Theospes recognized the sword that killed him as a gift to Ariadne when he was a child, he didn't know whether he was more sad or angry?

After listening to An Ge's deduction, Xianxian sighed deeply, "Isn't this too bloody?"

An Ge nodded, and said conclusively, "So, I think that the master of the labyrinth is both Minotaur and Theospes."

By the way, Westerners' names are so awkward that he wants to bite his tongue.

As for Yuli who appeared in two places at the same time...

An Ge also talked about the traps they encountered, and continued to summarize, "She may have sneaked in from the beginning, looking for opportunities to kill people, and later deliberately provoked us, so that we can easily abandon her when we encounter tests. However, once she abandons it, she will be punished instead. So she...should not be human."

Xianxian put her head in her hands and almost went crazy: "Stop joking! So I beat a ghost?? I can't believe it's not true!"

An Ge: "Yes, girl, you are very brave."

Yi Zai: "Wow, Xianxian, you are so amazing!"

Xianxian: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's scary!"

...Maybe you are more scary in the hearts of ghosts.An Ge didn't dare to say this.

During the noise, An Geli's stone necklace pendant suddenly cracked.

【恭喜玩家Clay破解谜题1/3：迷宫之主的身份之谜！获得奖励：守护之心项链，装备。用途：激活后生成防护能量罩，持续时间10秒。可使用次数：5/5】

[Congratulations to player Clay for solving the puzzle 2/3: the noisy maze ghost test!Obtain rewards: gate key X1, consumable props.Purpose: to open the exit. 】

An Ge looked forward to it for a while, but there was no hint about puzzle 3/3. It seems that he couldn't solve all of them... He remembered that the clues were not collected, maybe because he didn't go all over the map.

Yi Zai also saw the prompt, but asked very reassuringly: "It seems that there is still a puzzle that has not been solved. Brother Clay, do you want to continue? I don't care."

Xianxian frowned, with a tangled expression on his face, and Liu Fenghuixue looked at him pleadingly with desperate eyes. The two of them should definitely not want to continue.If it weren't for the restrictions of the game rules, it is estimated that these two would start to grab the key.

In fact, An Ge didn't think about it either. Clearing the level perfectly was nothing more important than saving one's life.

Besides, being thrown into this environment all of a sudden, as an otaku, he is now at his mental and physical limit.

So he held the key, "Come on, let's leave the maze."

Everyone was excited for a moment.

An Ge followed the prompts, found a car nearby, and inserted the key into the car door lock.

As if the membrane in the air had been pierced, the scenery changed from the keyhole, and all the messy vehicles disappeared.

In front of them appeared a long corridor that was no more than five meters wide but more than 100 meters long. At the end was a tightly closed glass door, and an alabaster statue was located in the center of the corridor.

The statue looked like a young girl, wearing an ancient Greek-style dress, with wavy long hair draped softly behind her, and holding a microphone in her hand.

Of course, the microphone is also carved from alabaster.

When they approached, the statue moved, holding the microphone in both hands, reaching out to the four people, with a playful smile on its soft face, "I will open the door for you only if you sing well."

what to sing...

An Ge was born with tone deafness, so he turned to look at other people.

Liufeng Huixue stayed at the end as usual, and Xianxian also hesitated: "What if there is punishment for singing wrong?"

Only Yizai stood up bravely, "I'll come, I'll come!"

He cleared his throat and sang: "The wool is as white as snow, and the spinning wheel sounds softly..."

He sang the Cretan ballad in its entirety.

The boy's voice is nice, but the tone is not very flattering. An Ge thinks... the song that Yi Zai sang now and what he heard back then are completely different.

He couldn't help becoming nervous... What if the stone sculpture that looks like Ariadne is not satisfied?

But Yi Zai still sang the whole ballad very seriously, out of tune, from the solar system to the Andromeda galaxy.

I always feel...if the volume is amplified, it can become a sonic weapon.

An Ge seemed to see a cross-shaped vein popping out of the stone sculpture's forehead.

However, the stone carving tilted his head cutely, "You sing so well! Don't be crowded when you pass by, everyone should line up obediently."

As expected of stone ears...

An Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the glass door at the end of the corridor slowly slide open.

Yizai was very happy to receive the compliment, and grabbed An Ge's hand, "Okay, let's line up!"

Xianxian murmured: "Just four people in a line..."

Even so, he followed Yi Zai and An Ge cooperatively, and walked past the stone sculpture.

The stone sculpture turned its head with a crackling sound, its pale eyeballs suddenly moved around a few times strangely, its lips opened and closed, and its tone was gloomy, "What are you talking about? There are obviously dozens of them..."
