Chapter 20 The Search

What does the Chinese zodiac represent?

What's at the end of the corridor?

The underworld?

In the dark corridor with no end in sight, the crowd moved forward trembling.

After the previous intense rounds of the "game," everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted. At this moment suddenly relaxed, has been wrapped around a few people around the death of the breath also faded.

Qixia inadvertently turned her head and saw the ringi standing beside her.

She kept her hands over her nose and mouth.

"Won't it hurt you?" "The smell here is awful, but it makes it difficult to breathe," Qixia said, putting her hands on her nose and mouth.

"Breathing?" Ringi blanched slightly and smiled. "I don't have difficulty breathing. I just feel weird without covering my mouth and nose. It's like..."

"Like what?"

"Like no clothes on." Ngo smiled sheepishly and took off her hand covering her mouth and nose.

Her nose is very straight, lips are very red, there is no need to cover. Qixia does not understand what "like no clothes" means.

Ringo smiled slightly, still uncomfortable, and put her hand over her mouth and nose again.

"A little shy... Wouldn't that be weird for you?" Ngo asked Qixia. "I bare my nose and mouth like this."

"Why is it weird?" Qixia felt strange.

"It's 'mask'..." Ringo looked at Qixia with disbelief. Her eyes looked like those of an alien. "Why don't you wear masks?

"Mouth..."

Wait for Qixia reaction, the distance suddenly came a strange light.

The crowd looked forward, attracted by the light.

It's an exit.

There was a bright light, like sunset, coming in from the exit.

"Going out!!" Qiaojia strength excited called a voice, "I see the light of the sunset!"

This cry is no doubt to give a few people a shot of heart, Zhao doctor supported Han Yi Mo, followed the people together to speed up the pace.

"Sunset?" Qixia thought a little and said to the crowd, "We woke up at twelve o 'clock, after more than an hour of playing time, it should be about two o 'clock now." Whether it is two o 'clock in the morning or two o 'clock in the afternoon, it is impossible to see the sunset."

"I think you're worrying too much." Officer Li shook his head, "The time in the room may not be accurate, maybe the real time is evening now."

Qixia nodded slightly, he knew that Officer Li was right, all his knowledge of time comes from the clock in the room, but no one can guarantee that the clock in the room is the correct time.

After a few more steps, they saw a dark figure near the exit.

As he continued to advance, the dark figure gradually emerged into a human form, he also wore an animal mask, but this mask made everyone feel a nausea.

Unlike all other animal masks, this one was not made from the head of a single animal, but from a number of organs stitched together with wool.

He had a mouth like a crocodile, a nose like a cow, fish scales for his face and snakeskin for his neck, and he had sewed lion's mane and stag's antlers into his mask.

This animal, it's like...

"Hello, I'm the Dragon." The sewn monster slowly opened his mouth, "All alive? What a novelty."

"The dragon... ?"

Everyone subconsciously stopped the pace, the nerves all over the body are tense up.

It's not that there's anything scary about dragons, it's that they're so familiar with this opening sequence.

Every time someone introduces themselves like this, it's a scary game that ensues.

"Don't be nervous, gentlemen. Your" test "is over." The dragon waved his hands, and they found that his hands were still wearing gloves with eagle claws.

All the animal organs on his body were a little putrid and bloated, emitting a bad smell, but he said as if he did not know anything:

"I'm not going to give you a new 'test,' just a little advice."

They did not speak, but leaned closely together, looking at the dragon in front of them with a wary face.

"Ten days. You have ten days to change all this." The dragon slowly said, "If you do not get 3,600 Tao in ten days, then the world you live in will disappear." Everything you can see will die with you."

A short sentence was difficult for everyone to understand.

"Three thousand six hundred paths?" Qixia frowned, "What is Tao?" What do you mean when you say the world we live in will annihilate?"

"There's a problem. Hey, hey, hey, good." The dragon nodded, "If there is a problem, you are still very sober, the so-called" Tao "is..."

The dragon reached into the pocket of his black suit, fumbled for a while, and pulled out four golden balls.

The outer ring of the ball is white, the inner ring is gold, shining all over the body, it looks a little strange.

"This is the Tao." The dragon continued, "As long as 3,600 Tao, you will be saved."

Qixia thought for a moment, reached out and took a small ball, this ball feels not hard, and even a little elastic.

"Take it, it belongs to you." Renlong said with a smile.

Qixia thought for a while and took the four "Dao".

"You have passed the four tests, 'liar,' 'mushroomed,' 'Death from heaven,' 'Yes and no,' and this is your reward and your 'chips.'"

They never expected that what they exchanged for their lives many times was these inconspicuous beads, and they did not know what to say at this time.

"Tao"... Qixia frowned and said helplessly, "Do you mean that if we don't find 3,600 such balls, this place will be destroyed?"

"Hey, hey, yeah. If this place is destroyed... You can't get out." The man-dragon nodded, the scales on his face and the lion's mane moving with his head, looking very awkward.

"It seems you have quite a few of these. Can't you make up three thousand six hundred yourself?" Officer Li said immediately, "And you are stronger than us, when you can find it yourself, why choose us?"

"Me? The dragon sneered, "We are all guilty people. The sinful cannot receive the Word, but only the chosen, like you, can receive the Word and finally become God."

'This is ridiculous! Zhang Chenze began to interrupt the dragon, her hands clasped to her chest, and asked slightly angrily, "Do you know what you are saying?"
