Chapter 151 Escape from the Castle (4) - The Demon Doll
They can only hear each other's voices, but cannot see each other.
Cheng Chuan replied: "I'm here. Is Ning Shu here?"
There was no reply. Based on his understanding of Ning Shu, if she were there, she would definitely reply, so she must not be there.
"Huangwa, are you there?"
Because the other person didn't speak and they didn't ask for their name, they just kept calling them that. The other person didn't seem to mind, so Cheng Chuan continued to call them that.
"I am here."
Cheng Chuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to actually answer him.
The key point is that the other person's voice is very pleasant, clear and melodious, and sounds like a young man, just with a slightly eccentric personality.
Since all three boys were here, Ning Shu must be the "controller," he told the other two his guess.
Cheng Chuan: "Then let's decide the order of precedence among the three of us."
"Brother Chuan, let me go first. It doesn't look too difficult. Maybe I can complete the task by myself."
Wu Yi's voice was excited, and he seemed eager to try.
Seeing Wu Yi's excitement, Cheng Chuan wondered if the guy had even understood the rules before rushing to complete the mission. However, he acknowledged the vanguard's enthusiasm.
“Okay, then I…” Cheng Chuan was about to say he was second, but he felt it was inappropriate and stopped himself.
He didn't quite trust Huangwa, after all, he was a stranger. If the other party couldn't take it and quit, at least he would be there for the final leg, and it would be better to keep his fate in his own hands.
"Then I'll go last, Huangwa, you go second."
After waiting for a while, Huangwa's voice came: "Okay."
After the order was decided, Wu Yi raised his hand as required, and the first number was quickly filled with red.
Cheng Chuan watched as the number 1 was filled with red, and soon the number 2 was filled with yellow. He then raised his hand, and the number 3 was filled with blue.
The color matches the corresponding color for each person in the first level.
At this moment, the system voice sounded again.
[Everything is ready, let the game begin! Good luck!]
At the same time, Ning Shu also received a system notification that the game had started, but she had no idea what had happened during the waiting period.
here we go!
She was a little nervous.
Ning remembered that the system had said she needed to use the mouse to control the doll to retrieve the materials from the glass case, so she clicked on the doll with the mouse.
No response.
?
Ning Shu looked at him with a question mark. What is this? Isn't it supposed to be like this?
She clicked on the doll with the mouse again, but there was still no response.
I was puzzled and accidentally clicked on the doll's arm. I noticed that the arm changed color and then moved slightly, but it didn't lift up.
Oh, she seems to know what's going on.
She clicked on the arm again, then dragged it upwards, and the arm lifted up, then remained still.
Ning Shu thought for a moment. She needed to control the puppet to move forward, so she should control its legs. She clicked on the legs and then dragged the mouse upwards.
The leg did move, but only one leg moved... while the arm that was raised remained raised.
Ning Shu fell silent as she watched the doll raise one arm and take one step forward.
No, she only has one mouse, so she can only move one place at a time? A puppet needs at least two legs to move forward.
She tried again, clicking on the back leg, and then she saw a magical scene—the puppet maintained the two front poses, and then the person "bounced" forward.
"..."
Forgive her for using the word "bouncy," but the doll really looked so cute and bouncy that after a series of movements, it "slipped" in less than a centimeter.
It's truly speechless. My mother opened the door for me. I'm speechless. This is... too heaven-defying, beyond human capabilities.
But that makes sense, those are dolls.
Wu Yi, who was possessed by the puppet, was speechless. He raised his hand and lifted one leg, actually feeling a bit tired.
He hoped Ning Shu could first adjust his position to make him more comfortable, but he couldn't speak.
Ning Shu was unaware of the feeling of martial arts, assuming that, like the first level, they wouldn't feel anything, so he didn't care whether their postures would be tiring.
Seeing that the countdown was going too fast, she became anxious and clicked on the doll's first leg again, pulling it forward forcefully.
Then you see the doll kneel down on the leg that was pulled, and the back leg, which was straight, touches the ground with its toes as the front leg kneels down.
For a moment, not only Ning Shu was silent, but Cheng Chuan and Huang Wa, who were also watching this scene on the screen, also fell silent.
Cheng Chuan couldn't help but complain about Ning Shu: "This control technique is really bad."
Ning Shu, who was being criticized, suddenly realized that things were not so simple and that this was a bit difficult to handle.
She clicked on the kneeling leg again, intending to make it stand up, but found that the doll could actually move forward while kneeling.
What a tremendous discovery! It turns out that no matter what the doll does, as long as she can pull it, it can move forward.
What's there to be afraid of? Let's just go for it!
Ning Shu was full of confidence, so she continued to click on the kneeling leg to make it move forward.
So the scene showed the puppet kneeling on one leg and "inching" forward.
Cheng Chuan broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this: Seriously, can't they just walk properly? Why do they have to be so ridiculous?
At this moment, Wu Yi felt his knees constantly hitting the ground, and each time they hit the floor, he felt excruciating pain.
Compared to the pain in my knee, the raised arm and the stretched-out leg were nothing.
Wu Yi was already feeling utterly hopeless: "No way, big sister! Are you kidding me? Don't you treat me like a human being? Please stop kowtowing, or I'll die!"
Unfortunately, Ning Shu couldn't hear it. Luckily, she stopped because she encountered an obstacle—three red lines running across the room.
It looked just like an infrared beam, and Ning Shu wondered if touching it would mean mission failure, so she stopped.
The three red lines were positioned in a rather unusual way: the bottom one was a few centimeters off the ground, the middle one was roughly at waist level, and the top one was at head level.
If a normal person were to steal something, it wouldn't be able to prevent theft at all, with such a large gap between the three red lines.
But this doll isn't a normal person; it can't even move two body parts at the same time, so these three things are very "anti-theft".
Looking at the three red lines, Ning Shu knew he should prioritize passing through the bottom gap, but he had to avoid the bottom and middle lines.
The current kneeling posture of the doll is definitely not appropriate, Ning Shu is going to adjust it.
She first lowered her raised arms, then raised her hind leg off the ground, forming a posture with her front leg kneeling and her hind leg stretched straight back and suspended in the air.
Now all of his weight is concentrated on his knees, which are in contact with the ground. Wu Yi feels that this posture is not much better than when he hit the ground earlier.
