Chapter 152 Escaping the Castle (5) - Kneeling and Moving Forward

Wu Yi thought, "No way, no way, I'm not going to have to hit the bottom red line like this, am I? My knees will definitely be ruined!"

He screamed with all his might, "No! No! No!"

Ning Shu seemed to hear his shout, and suddenly had a change of heart. He lifted the kneeling front legs of the doll and put his heels on the ground.

Before Wu Yi could even sigh that he was finally comfortable, he felt his previously suspended hind leg suddenly touch the ground, and his toes slammed into the floor. He was in so much pain that he burst into tears.

Ahhhh! Mom, save me, save me!

Ning Shu was completely unaware of Wu Yi's pain at this moment; she felt that the posture was not quite right.

This pose causes the doll's head to be positioned higher than the middle red line, making it difficult to pass.

She clicked on the doll's head, trying to make it lower its head, and found that it could be done, but the effect was minimal.

She scrolled the mouse to zoom in on the image and carefully observed the distance between the top of her head and the red line in the middle after she lowered her head. It seemed to be lower, but she wasn't sure if she was seeing things correctly.

"Let's give it a try," she clicked on her front leg, preparing to step over the bottom red line. Unexpectedly, as she lifted her foot, her head also lifted up, and she touched the line directly.

In an instant, the doll was electrocuted and its posture changed, and it even took several steps back.

For a moment, two people felt like their world had collapsed.

Ning Shu stared at the red line that had been touched, anxiously awaiting the system's notification—perhaps the mission had failed, or perhaps an opportunity had been lost.

Nothing happened, so touching the red line won't trigger anything, right?

No, wait! She quickly glanced at the countdown timer—it had indeed sped up! She knew it! There was no way this could be true!

Looking at the lying doll, Ning Shu felt that all her previous efforts had been in vain. She released the mouse, rubbed her wrist, which was a little tired.

Wu Yi's world had truly collapsed. His whole body ached, and the tingling sensation from the electric shocks was indescribable.

If a doll could shed tears, then there must be a vast ocean beneath it.

The doll was lying flat. Ning Shu thought to herself that the previous position was not working and the doll could not get through. She had to change the position.

She first made the doll stand up, first its upper body, then its lower body... The whole movement was even more stiff than a zombie's.

Ning Shu examined the distance between the two bottom red lines again and felt that it might be better for the doll to crawl. She wanted the doll to lie face down.

But she found that she couldn't make the doll lie down directly; she could only make it kneel down first...

Looking at the kneeling doll on the screen, Cheng Chuan's heart was in turmoil: What kind of hobby is this, kneeling all the time? Does Ning Shu like to play with this?

Ning Shu, who was being harassed by crickets, was trying hard to make the doll lie down. She finally managed to get it to kneel down, and when she clicked on the upper body of the doll to make it lie down, the doll's head hit the ground directly.

He knelt down and kowtowed... and his butt was facing upwards.

Wu Yi not only had knee pain this time, but also a headache—in a physical sense.

Ning Shu scrolled the mouse wheel to zoom in on the image and found that the pose occupied a relatively small space, just between the two bottom red lines.

She had a sudden inspiration: could she step over it in this position?

This requires some technical skill.

She observed for a moment and found that only the head could move in this position, so she clicked on the head.

The doll's head rose and fell, seemingly moving forward a tiny bit. She was delighted and kept clicking, and the doll's head rose and fell, as if it were bowing and moving forward...

Cheng Chuan: "..."

Huangwa: "..."

If they could accept seeing the puppet bowing with its buttocks facing the sky before, seeing the puppet bowing and moving forward was simply too much for them.

Cheng Chuan began to doubt whether Ning Shu was the one playing the role of "controller".

Perhaps the game is playing tricks; Ning Shu has been controlled, and the game itself is manipulating and playing with the player.

Perhaps it was indeed Ning Shu herself who was in control, but she had been possessed, otherwise there would be no way to explain why she could be so... ruthless and insane.

Could it be that he no longer understands the other person because they haven't seen each other for so long?

Wu Yi just wanted to cry. What sins had he committed to be the first to suffer? Wasn't it better to be alive?

Ning Shu didn't understand his teammates' pain; he just felt like he had discovered a new continent and that this game was definitely in the bag!

When Ning Shu got close to the bottom red line, she was in a dilemma.

Although the doll could kowtow to move forward, it couldn't kowtow to cross the line. She thought for a while and came up with a good idea.

She stretched out one arm, forming an angle with her head. At this moment, one knee was kneeling, and the other knee was in a kneeling position, but not touching the ground.

She adjusted the position of her knees, pulling them back a little, trying to avoid touching the red line during the next movement.

Once ready, place the mouse on the extended arm and click it forcefully, as if you were exerting force yourself. The puppet will then successfully flip over the bottom red line.

After flipping over, the doll bounced backward and almost touched the red line behind it, which startled Ning Shu so much that she frantically clicked the mouse to save the doll.

The good news is that the puppet didn't touch the red line again, but the bad news is that Wu Yi hit his knee and the back of his head hard during that roll, and the pain almost killed him.

He couldn't take it anymore, and he uttered two words in his mind—"Leave!"

He felt himself being pulled out of the puppet by a force and immediately fainted.

Huangwa was initially shocked at how the puppet could perform such a jumping and backward roll when he suddenly felt a force pulling him, and then he felt himself possessing the puppet.

He didn't feel any pain, but he could feel his body twisting unnaturally... He knew he had been pulled in, and the previous person had already left.

Ning Shu suddenly received a system notification.

[Attention "Controller" players: You have 2 chances remaining to complete the mission.]

Ning Shu was puzzled. How come there were only two chances left? What did she do wrong?

Watching the time pass quickly, Ning Shu thought: Never mind for now, cherishing the remaining two opportunities is the right thing to do.

Looking at the doll that was still upside down with its head on the ground and its rear end in the air, she tapped its head and continued to kowtow forward.

Huangwa felt a buzzing in his head; so that's what it felt like! He really wanted to thank him.

There were several steps in front of the glass cabinet. Ning Shu realized that continuing to kowtow was not working, so she decided to change the pose of the doll.

She stretched her kneeling leg back, creating a position with her toes and head on the ground and her buttocks facing upwards, and then swung her arm down.

Goodness, she braced her arms on the first step and successfully climbed one step!

The doll's buttocks and head are now almost at the same level, with its hands and toes touching the ground, forming a π shape.

The question is, how do we get to the second step?
