76 Zhuang Zhou Mengdie 02
◎Let me smell your scent x2◎
As if to verify whether everything he did was effective, Zhu Heng turned his head and continued to look at the end of the tunnel - still no change.
This time, Zhu Heng was no longer as clueless as before. He looked at the white butterflies flitting before his eyes and asked with a half-smile, "What do you think is missing this time?"
Baidie naturally couldn't speak, but Zhu Heng didn't really want to ask it.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a glowing bead.
Although I don't know what role this bead will play in the final outcome, it's always right to follow the same path as before.
Zhu Heng found the easter egg part in the Dayu flood control dungeon in the three-dimensional world. The actress in the cube was lying on the lawn waiting to give birth, and "Zhu Heng" was by her side delivering the baby.
Before the baby was fully born, he turned the bead on his fingertips, wanting to throw it into the actress's belly, but the bead was like a bouncy ball, and after falling, it returned to his palm along the same path.
Can't just throw it? Zhu Heng frowned.
Inside the cube, the countdown on the actress's wrist was getting closer and closer to zero, and Zhu Heng gripped the beads more and more tightly.
There is not much time left, it must be resolved quickly.
He looked at the actress in the three-dimensional world, his mind working rapidly.
She had given birth to a clay doll that looked like him, and that doll later became separated from the bead in Confucius's puzzle copy. The bead then came into Tao Ran's hands, and finally returned to his...
So... it's a clay doll!
In order to insert the bead into the actress's body and fake her pregnancy, he must have a carrier to help him deceive the natural rules of the three-dimensional world.
And this carrier was exactly the clay doll he saw at the beginning.
After figuring it out, Zhu Heng's mind was clear. He immediately took materials from the three-dimensional world, molded them into the shape of a clay doll, embedded beads into the doll's eyes, and then stuffed them into the actress's belly accurately at the moment before she gave birth.
Zhu Heng held his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, he became disgusted again. No wonder the clay doll was so ugly. It turned out that he was the one who made it.
The white butterfly that had been silent all this time suddenly flew in front of him, as if trying to remind him of something.
The white butterfly flew a few steps forward along the tunnel and then stopped somewhere.
Zhu Heng followed its guidance and found that the place where it stopped was exactly the puzzle copy of Confucius.
"What do you want to tell me?" Zhu Heng had a feeling something was wrong and asked as he came to Bai Die.
He looked at what was happening inside the cube and suddenly stopped asking questions.
On the pitch-black earth, he first saw a pit of corpses. The corpses in the pit were in varying degrees of decay. They were all wearing the same black combat uniforms and had the same face.
These dead bodies belong to no one.
And next to the pit of corpses, there was a living Helan Dao.
Helan Dao sat cross-legged on the ground with several Confucius puzzles in front of him. Just as he was piecing them together, Zhu Heng suddenly heard a loud "Daddy".
Who is speaking?
Zhu Heng looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound.
"Daddy, someone bullied me." Another sentence.
Zhu Heng turned to look at Bai Die, and at that moment, he caught a glimpse of Helan Dao lazily raising his head on the dark ground.
He Landao didn't stop working, as he pieced the puzzle together while finding the energy to respond, "Good son."
Zhu Heng suddenly understood and raised his eyebrows. It turned out that the voice was a conversation between the system and Helan Dao's consciousness.
However, Zhu Heng never expected that he would hear the system complain to Helan Dao about "his" evil deeds in the Dayu flood control copy.
Zhu Heng frowned and waited.
He remembered that Helando had mentioned that before they entered the Confucius puzzle copy, Helando's last mission alone ended at the stage of completing the puzzle.
And this last step actually happened at the same time as the copy of Dayu's flood control.
At this time, the copy of Dayu's flood control was just halfway completed. In other words, the time when he was kicked into the crack in the air by that inexplicable colorful creature and came to Confucius' puzzle copy was almost the same as the second half of Dayu's flood control?
Zhu Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
The system was still accusing Zhu Heng of crimes, but Helandao had no intention of listening to it. After finally getting rid of the system, he continued to put the remaining pieces of the puzzle together.
Zhu Heng watched him solve the puzzle, and then realized that the real password wasn't there. He got so anxious that he forgot they were not in the same dimension, and shouted out, "No!"
He Lan Dao was not a projection of Zhu Heng in the three-dimensional world like the actress, so naturally he could not hear his voice. Zhu Heng could only watch as He Lan Dao died again in this copy because of the wrong puzzle piece.
This won't work, Zhu Heng thought. The key to breaking the deadlock lies in those beads, and the final step depends on the bead he just inserted into the clay doll's eye socket.
We have to find a way to send him in himself to save Helan Dao.
Zhu Heng thought for a moment and immediately set off for the Civilization Market - it was there that he was kicked into Confucius' puzzle world.
The timeline extended backwards with his movements. On the way to the Civilization Market, Zhu Heng also saw Xu Wenjun and Wang Kunshu. Judging from their appearance, they had no intention of going to carry out the Confucius copy mission.
Zhu Heng paused for a moment. If he couldn't return to the three-dimensional world in the form of a three-dimensional life, then he should be able to appear briefly in the body of a four-dimensional human, right?
So Zhu Heng tore a crack in space and time in the three-dimensional world, and then sank into it as if passing through water. The place cut by the "water" was his cross-sectional appearance in the three-dimensional world.
In this way, he sent Xu Wenjun and Wang Kunshu in separately.
Anyway, one more helper counts.
After confirming that the two of them had entered the Confucius copy through the space-time rift, Zhu Heng clapped his hands and rushed to the Civilization Market without stopping.
At the market, "Zhu Heng" was standing next to the man with glasses. If nothing unexpected happened, he would not walk to the edge of the market.
He looked up at the sky at the edge of the market, and had to think of a way to lure "Zhu Heng" over.
He repeated his trick once more, allowing his body to pass through the space-time below. Three-dimensional humans couldn't see four-dimensional beings, but Zhu Heng wasn't entirely three-dimensional. Even so, Zhu Heng couldn't see his entire body, only a cross-section of him in the three-dimensional world.
Therefore, in the eyes of "Zhu Heng", he was a mass of unknown creature, whose material, color and shape kept changing as different parts of his body passed through the three-dimensional world.
"Zhu Heng" was successfully attracted to him.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhu Heng lightly drew his finger in the air, tearing a crack in space and time, and then kicked himself into it.
It was probably his action that triggered the automatic matching system of "Universe History", and the system sent two more ordinary players in. At this point, all six people in the Confucius puzzle copy were present.
After Zhu Heng finished all this, it was immediately time for them to complete the Confucius puzzle, and he still needed to send himself back to the civilized market.
Xu Wenjun and Wang Kunshu didn't need to be sent off, as they were both kicked in by him from the normal timeline. It was only the space that changed, not the time. Only Zhu Heng went back to the past.
In other words, while Zhu Heng was completing the Confucius puzzle instance, he was also completing the Yu the Great flood control instance. However, from Zhu Heng's perspective, he completed the Yu the Great flood control instance first, and then entered the Confucius world.
The two copies end at almost the same time. In order to avoid two "Zhu Hengs" appearing in the same time and space, disrupting the order of time and space, he must send "Zhu Heng" who accidentally came to the Confucius world back to the civilization market to complete the time and space logic of "only one self can appear in the same time and space."
After kicking himself back, Zhu Heng saw a silver spaceship passing by in the sky above the Civilization Market.
If it were the old Zhu Heng, he would definitely not have discovered that Helan Dao was aboard the spaceship. But now, in the fourth dimension, everything in the third dimension seemed transparent to him.
The spaceship whizzed past, and Zhu Heng sneered.
He was driving so fast, but it turned out that he was rushing to kill him.
You are really good at Helan Dao.
Zhu Heng turned his head and glanced at the end of the tunnel. The picture of the end of mankind had not changed, but it seemed no longer so clear, like an old photo that was half faded.
He was delighted.
Does this mean that it's already taking effect?
But it seems that this is far from enough, and something more needs to be done.
Zhu Heng followed the timeline after the Confucius instance and looked at the subsequent instances of the Hundred Schools of Thought and Qin Shi Huang. He thought that there would be many unexpected events like the previous two instances, but he did not expect that these two instances would develop exactly according to the plot he remembered.
It seems that the more fine-tuning in the early stages, the less work there will be in the later stages.
As the Qin Shi Huang copy ended, his attention turned to the fifth copy - the Silk Road.
In the picture, he and Helan Dao had just entered the ruined city in the desert and were avoiding the pursuit of two mysterious men in long robes.
Zhu Heng glanced at the man in the robe, paused for a second, and then looked back.
After carefully examining the facial features beneath the hoods of the two robes, Zhu Heng realized that he didn't even recognize them.
They were actually two strangers. Shouldn't they be themselves?
Zhu Heng touched his arm, pondered for a long time, and suddenly let out a "huh".
I just said there were no accidents, and here comes the accident.
In the ruined city, "Zhu Heng" and Helan Dao ran around the city, constantly dodging the robes, but they didn't know to use the silk to escape to the lower level.
Which step went wrong?
Zhu Heng kept rubbing his arms, and suddenly stopped.
His fingers stopped at his wrist, and he pulled a head out of the cuff, then pulled out a whole piece of blue silk.
It was left to him by Helan Dao.
He seemed to know what to do.
Zhu Heng came to the top of the ruined city and looked down to see that he and Helan Dao had just run into an alley. Countless fabrics were hanging above their heads. Zhu Heng found the right angle and threw the blue silk in his hand onto Helan Dao's head.
At the same time, he discovered that the robed faces chasing them outside had changed into their own appearances in an instant.
I see.
If they did not go to the underground city and then go to the next level through the underground city, they would not be able to return to the ground from the end of the Silk Road, that is, from Zhang Qian. Without this cycle, the robes would naturally not be their own.
He watched as he and Helan Dao successfully reached the underground city, and everything thereafter developed as he had imagined. However, he was a little surprised that Helan Dao seemed to be constantly smelling the silk cloth.
Zhu Heng had no intention of reading through the entire copy. Perhaps because of Tao Ran, he had some escapist mentality, so when he saw that there was nothing else that required his intervention, he prepared to withdraw and leave.
Just as he was about to move on to the next square, he saw Helan Dao, after sniffing the silk, move closer to Zhu Heng's neck and said in a slightly bewitching voice, "Let me smell your scent."
Zhu Heng got goosebumps all over his body.
It's really fucking hard to resist.
