Chapter 341 Passage Puzzle
While Xia Liang's team had already experienced a battle, Lin Xiaolu and others were still racking their brains over the puzzles in their hands.
——"Bo Xue, have you finished your end of the matter?"
"Hmm...just a little bit more!"
"Hurry up, I'll be there soon!"
"As fast as possible!"
"Bai Mei, what about you?"
"It's magic! Go do your own thing! Stop asking questions!"
Yes, they had successfully discovered a puzzle.
In other words, it is not a "discovery" but a successful "snatching" of a puzzle.
After discovering traps set by other teams in the passage, they used their own tactics to confirm and check the number and types of traps set by the other team in the passage, and concentrated on detonating those props with destructive effects. In the end, they successfully blew a hole in the passage of the maze.
Following Mint's suggestion, the three of them were very cautious and did not move the trap. They also minimized the use of their own magic power when triggering the trap. Therefore, the "responsibility" for the explosion was not attributed to them, but to the magical girls who set the trap.
The reason they knew all this was because after the explosion, the series of shouting and cursing coming from the other end of the passage could not be faked.
After passing through the passage where the traps had been basically checked, just as Bohe had guessed, Lin Xiaolu and the other two found a half-solved puzzle.
There are quite a lot of messy magical fluctuations in the corridors around the puzzle, as well as many signs of human activities, so it can be basically confirmed that a team was working on solving the puzzle here not long ago.
Perhaps because they were too excited after finding the puzzle, or because the puzzle-solving process took too long and led to misjudgment, the team set up a large number of traps in the passage they came from in order to maintain their ownership of the puzzle. Eventually, the traps were used by Lin Xiaolu and others, and they were judged as failing the maze for "destroying the passage" and "violating the rules" and were ejected directly from the maze.
Of course, it can't be said that their actions were wrong, because Lin Xiaolu and others' actions were indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary magic girls. "Checking out all the traps in the passage" is not something a normal magic girl team can do, but Bai Jingxuan's perception ability is so extraordinary; "strictly controlling the amount of magic power used but being able to concentrate on detonating props" sounds like a circus acrobatics, but Lin Xiaolu relied on her high reaction speed after the magic power was deflected to complete it as easily as eating and drinking water.
After putting so much thought into setting up the trap, they encountered a team that was totally out of character. It was fate. When the members of this team heard the "violation of the rules" notice from the examiner, they thought it was a misjudgment at first, and only after realizing what had happened did they curse in despair.
Then, the puzzle they had solved halfway belonged to Lin Xiaolu and others.
This was a puzzle without any small map or hints. If we were to solve it from the beginning, it would probably take the team a lot of time just to find out the information. Fortunately, because the traces of the previous team's half-solved puzzle were left at the scene, Lin Xiaolu and the others quickly figured out the content:
A wide passage with a device at each end. Between the devices, the ground is lined with square tiles with a side length of 0.6 meters, forming a 10x200 grid.
As long as the magic power is injected from the device on one side, all the tiles on the grid will show one of the three colors: red, yellow, or green. When each tile is stepped on by the examinee, the tile itself, as well as the five tiles in front, behind, left, and right of it, will change their colors. The order of color change is red to yellow, yellow to green, and green to red.
When the three discovered this puzzle, there was already a path on the grid that stretched for about 50 squares. It can be judged that the ultimate goal of this puzzle should be to create a path of green tiles between the two devices.
The three of them made a simple division of labor, and after Bo He performed some preliminary calculations, they finally decided: Lin Xiaolu would be responsible for transmitting magic power at the device at one end, while Bo He and Bai Jingxuan would be responsible for exploring the way.
Now, after a long period of hard work, the green path they connected finally covered more than half of the passage.
"... Um, where was I just now? Oh, I was talking about the old woman from Black Dawn who turned into a giant moth."
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere during this process was quite relaxed, so in response to Bohe's sudden and curious questioning, Lin Xiaolu began to selectively talk about the details of the Black Cinder Dawn's attack on Fangting City on the Full Moon Festival last year.
Of course, she also knew what to say and what not to say, so she glossed over many things about the identity of the emerald bird and the sower. In her description, the new generation team of Fangting City had a total of five people, namely the captain emerald bird, the newcomer Xiaojin, Boxue, Longdan and herself. The emerald bird described was just an "ordinary senior" who was "experienced, so strong and reliable".
Bohe, who has always been keen on gossip, could naturally tell that Lin Xiaolu's narration was concealing something and that many of her logic did not make sense. However, she was just listening to gossip for fun and naturally had no intention of delving into it further.
So the three of them chatted and solved the puzzles. When Lin Xiaolu talked about the domineering rules of Moss after she became a remnant beast, Mint would cooperate and exclaim; when talking about the time when Delphinium used all its strength to counter Moss, Mint would applaud very respectfully. Bai Jingxuan also listened carefully to Lin Xiaolu's description, and would occasionally help or correct her. In such a leisurely atmosphere, Lin Xiaolu finished telling this story about herself.
At this time, the channel connectivity progress has reached nearly 90%.
——"Well, it does sound thrilling. It's not easy for you to get out of this situation unscathed."
Mint also expressed his own thoughts after listening to the speech: "Also, your senior, is her name Delphinium? She seems to be a very strong magical girl."
"Of course, Delphinium is the best magical girl."
Lin Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling proud that she had been able to fully convey the amazingness of the Delphinium to others: "In other words, words alone are not enough to describe the amazingness of the Delphinium!"
"That's right!" Bai Jingxuan chimed in promptly.
"Is it more powerful than the description? That's really..."
Mint blinked and raised the corner of his mouth inadvertently: "It makes me want to meet him."
Her words made Lin Xiaolu pause for a moment. Seeing Bohe's "tomboy" demeanor and refreshing and handsome appearance, she somehow thought of the kiss Masou Yuanxiang gave to Delphinium. Then she unconsciously replaced Masou Yuanxiang in the picture with Bohe in front of her. When she thought of that scene, she suddenly felt a little sour in her heart: "You probably won't be able to see it then."
"Can't I see him?" Bohe was a little confused: "Even if I go to Fangting City?"
"If you can't see it, you can't see it."
Lin Xiaolu said forcefully, "And you are a magical girl from another city, right? Is it really appropriate to just go to another city without a mission?"
"Well... at least judging from the map, my city is not close to your Fangting, but it is definitely not far away."
Bohe looked thoughtful, as if he was really considering the possibility of "going to Fangting on purpose": "Well, at least it's closer than going to Tiandu City."
"Your city?"
This sentence aroused some interest in Lin Xiaolu, so she half deliberately and half naturally changed the subject and said, "Come to think of it, you haven't told us what your city is like yet?"
"Indeed, he didn't come."
Bo He stood on the bricks and looked back at Lin Xiaolu with a smile: "Why, do you want to know more?"
"Hurry up and tell me. I've talked so much about Fang Ting that my mouth is dry."
Lin Xiaolu clapped the device at hand, making a "bang bang" sound, and urged: "Now it's your turn!"
