Chu Huai and Jin Tianyi walked over.
Approaching, Chu Huai saw the boy’s face, and his expression froze for a second.
The boy is very young, probably about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features, and wearing glasses makes him look more bookish.
It’s the kind of good student’s appearance, but there is a purple scab the size of a bottle cap on the left side of his face.
Si Yu noticed Chu Huai’s probing gaze, and explained nonchalantly, “It was caused by a fight.”
Chu Huai was slightly surprised: “Are you a high school student?”
His eyes drifted to his chestnut hair.
“I was before,” Si Yu paused and spread his hands, “Not anymore. I was kicked out for fighting, so I decided to dye my hair.”
The bloody doll that Si Yu held in his hand was very small, only eight centimeters in size, and a little over twenty centimeters tall. Part of the skin that was not stained with blood is very white, and it looks like it has just been made.
The material of bjd dolls is generally resin, which is easy to turn yellow when exposed to sunlight and a humid environment for too long.
Jin Tianyi: “This doll?” He already had a preliminary guess in his mind.
After thinking about it, the boy led the two of them back the same way, and arrived at the lounge of the roller coaster.
Chu Huai followed and suddenly saw the remaining four bjd dolls with similar heights and different shapes in the lounge.
One of the dolls has gray hair, which is particularly eye-catching.
The boy called Si Yu explained: “I was outside preparing to get on the ride, and found that the window of the rest and waiting room was open, and these dolls were neatly placed in front of the window.”
Jin Tianyi heard the words and went around to look into the window. From his perspective, the doll’s head was higher than the bottom of the window, like four lovely children eagerly expecting their master to lead it away.
Chu Huai asked him with his eyes, Jin Tianyi nodded.
Si Yu: “We all saw it at the time, and I said that these dolls look like us, maybe they are clues so we should take them with us, but they thought it was a trap, and there is a high probability that the ghost will possess the doll.”
Si Yu: “They didn’t bring it themselves, and they didn’t let me take it. I thought it was better to take them but was afraid that I would hurt them, so I kept my mind on it and left them one step behind, secretly stuffing my own doll into the pocket inside my coat.”
“Indeed, before life or death is triggered, how to choose is like Schrödinger’s cat…” Halfway through Chu Huai’s sentence, his voice stopped abruptly. “Substitute?”
He looked at the doll with a severed head in Si Yu’s hands and suddenly realized.
Si Yu: “I guessed the same way, but I don’t understand why. I really can only say that I was lucky to survive.”
Chu Huai’s expression changed slightly, he exchanged a glance with Jin Tianyi and tied together the last link of the roller coaster clue.
“The clue of the roller coaster is the Sword of Damocles. Although this allusion is called ‘Sword of Damocles’, but…”
Chu Huai paused, then said helplessly, “this sword was originally hung on the king’s head.”
Si Yu’s pupils shrank, and he understood instantly.
“The danger originally belonged to the king. In a sense, Damocles became the king’s substitute in disguise.”
“This allusion itself contains the concept of ‘substitute’, so how to choose is not Schrödinger’s cat, this is the only way to survive.”

“There was no blood on the doll. The blood was neither mine nor the other taskers. It was kept in my arms all the time. But when I pulled it out, it was covered in blood, and instead of throwing it away, I thought, well, maybe it died for me. ” Si Yu said in embarrassment.
Chu Huai’s previous guess was in the general direction, but there was a problem with the small details.
Damocles in the allusion is not the missionary, but a doll, and the player is the king. The doll became the player’s scapegoat and was killed by a falling sword.
At the same time, Luo Ziyang and Ye Yuan arrived at the entrance of the Greek mythology theme park on time.
They were about to go in, and found a sign hanging at the door, “Please go to the project office first to get the map and route arrangement.”
Luo Ziyang toughened his courage and pulled Ye Yuan over. The same finger stretched out from the window but only brought out a map. Luo Ziyang swallowed, quickly pulled out the map from under the fingers, and came to the door again.
After swiping the ticket to enter, Luo Ziyang opened the map. The map was the color of sheepskin as a whole, with a curved silver line on it, and two red crosses were drawn on the line.
Ye Yuan: “These two red crosses should be our destination?”
Luo Ziyang nodded.
The first red cross is not far from them, almost in the center of the map. Near the red cross is an eye-catching large area of blue.
Luo Ziyang was surprised: “What does this blue color mean? Is it water? Is it a lake?”
Ye Yuan was also a little puzzled: “Go and have a look and you’ll know.”
The greenery in the theme park is very good, and the low and level bushes seem to be maintained by people from time to time.
Every time they walk, they can see a statue of the gods surrounded by bushes and flowers in the center. The statue is tall and white. I don’t know if it is an illusion, but it exudes a soft and holy light.
Walking around the five-meter-tall statue of Athena, God of War, Luo Ziyang looked at the scene that suddenly appeared in front of him, and lost the ability to speak for a moment.
A new world. Every eye is blue, a deep and captivating blue.
The ground is as blue as the Milky Way, and as far as the eye can see, there are dense small white lights all over the ground.
The lamp is extremely small, like rhinestones converging into a pattern, exuding a white and soft light. Luo Ziyang had the illusion that he was in the starry sky.
There are no street lights in the theme park, and the lighting is poor. Along the way, Luo Ziyang was afraid that a ghost would appear from the darkness, but it was as bright as day in front of his eyes.
The blue on the ground is a huge circle with a radius of up to a kilometer.
Ye Yuan, who was behind him, took a few steps back, looking at the small white lights nearby, thoughtfully. The blue and black background board, the small white lights, and the pattern of the small lights are a bit like… a constellation pattern.
Ye Yuan: “Brother Luo, let’s go forward, the red cross hasn’t arrived yet, it should… be in the middle of this area.”
The light brought a great sense of security to Luo Ziyang, he pretended to be bold and set foot on the ground of Galaxy Blue while pulling Ye Yuan.
The surroundings were still dark, Luo Ziyang only felt the light on the ground was dazzling, so he could only half-raise his head and walk forward with his eyes squinted.
After walking for about ten minutes, they reached the middle of the area, where the red cross was. It was a lake, a very small lake, and the water was not blue, but clear white.
There were shadows of trees dancing on the shore of the lake, Luo Ziyang led Ye Yuan closer, and through the shadows of trees, he suddenly saw two smooth, white, and tender lotus root-like things.
The two lotus root radiates intoxicating light in the night.
What shocked Luo Ziyang, even more, was that the two lotus root joints were actually moving!
The lotus root is inserted in the shallow lake, gently swinging back and forth, making small water sounds, and small water splashes splashing down.
Luo Ziyang’s legs began to shake, the scene in front of him was too weird.
The corner of Ye Yuan’s mouth twitched: “Brother Luo, you’ve been staring at ‘his’ legs for two minutes.”
Luo Ziyang was stunned for a second, then suddenly heaved a sigh of relief: “So it’s just legs.”
His expression froze suddenly, and he wanted to cry without tears: “It’s the legs that are scary, okay?!”
Luo Ziyang took a deep breath and yelled in horror: “Ghost ah ah ah!”
Ye Yuan with a dark face: “…” I really want to knock this embarrassing thing unconscious.
Ye Yuan dragged Luo Ziyang forward, pushed aside the dense bushes, and saw the beautiful figure of that thing.
The thing was kicking its feet, its back turned to them.
Ye Yuan looked at a small statue that was not as tall as a trash can behind the bushes, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The statue is so small, and its location is extremely hidden, it is easy to miss it if you are not paying attention.
The statue depicts an extremely beautiful girl with thick and smooth hair like seaweed, a crown of flowers on top of her hair, and exquisite and lifelike facial features.
The statue was well-dressed, he couldn’t think of it at first, but Ye Yuan noticed a tear in the corner of the girl’s eye.
Is she from Greek mythology? Why hasn’t he seen it? And compared to the five-meter-high statue of Athena, this statue is really insignificant.
Near the lake, that thing also had hair as thick as seaweed, and it also had a corolla.
Luo Ziyang tugged on Ye Yuan’s sleeve, uncertainly: “Xiaoye, is this a god?”
Ye Yu felt relieved and said nothing.
The thing’s upper body moved, and it slowly turned around under Luo Ziyang’s expectant eyes…
Luo Ziyang twitched all over: “Ahhh!”
That’s a faceless ghost!
The female ghost turned her head towards Ye Yuan, and stretched out her beautiful hand to Luo Ziyang: “Bacchus, you even betrayed me, is this your new lover?!”
Her voice was melodious, like weeping.
Bacchus? Bacchus? The corner of Ye Yuan’s mouth twitched, he knew what was going on.
Luo Ziyang immediately threw away Ye Yuan’s hand in a hopeless manner, and said with a smile: “Girl, no… beautiful woman, don’t get excited about that, don’t get excited, he belongs to you, and I don’t have half a dime!”
Ye Yuan looked at him coolly.
Ye Yuan cooperated: “Beautiful Miss Ariadne, I assure you, you are the only ‘woman’ I have ever loved.”
Ariadne? Luo Ziyang was dumbfounded, what the hell?
With tears still in the corners of Ariadne’s eyes, she sternly said, “I don’t believe it!” She crawled out of the lake, her eyes were evil and creepy.
Those white legs squirmed in the dark night.
Ye Yuan spread his hands, helpless.
He smiled at Luo Ziyang: “What are you still doing in a daze? Run.”
“Ah?” Luo Ziyang was stunned for a second, then reacted suddenly, and ran away, rushing more than 20 meters in the blink of an eye.
Ye Yuan, who was left behind: “…” Sure enough, adversity reveals the true heart.
Halfway through the run, Luo Ziyang suddenly slammed on the brakes, turned a corner in a hurry, turned around, dragged Ye Yuan, and ran forward.
They ran very fast, but they ran on two legs after all, and the female ghost followed closely behind, using both hands and feet like a centipede.
After running for a while, Ye Yuan found that they still had an advantage.
When the female ghost passed those small lights on the ground, she always had to go around for a while, and those small lights naturally became obstacles.
“What should I do?!” Luo Ziyang yelled in front.
Ye Yuan ran calmly, panting on purpose when he heard the words: “Do you know the Northern Crown constellation?”
“What?” Luo Ziyang thought he was hallucinating, “What the hell?”
He only dared to run forward, he didn’t dare to look back at all, he didn’t have the guts, if he really looked back and saw that ghost, he probably would have weak legs and no strength to run away.
Ye Yuan knew that he couldn’t count on him, so he gasped and said, “Look, this is Orion.”
He pointed to the pattern formed by several small white lights at his feet and said. “Starry sky?”
Luo Ziyang finally understood. He asked irritably, “What does this have to do with looking for the constellation of North?”
The female ghost behind them was about to reach out and grab Ye Yuan’s fair ankle, Ye Yuan turned his head and gave her a nasty smile, and stepped lightly on a small white lamp. The female ghost’s hands seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and she scratched her ears and stomped her feet angrily.
She took a lot of effort to get around this small lamp, and at this moment, Luo Ziyang and Ye Yuan rushed out again.
“Did you see the flower crown on her head?” Ye Yuan said.
“Didn’t look, can’t look!” Luo Ziyang shook his head desperately, so he didn’t want to look back.
Ye Yuan laughed angrily, and pointed out: “The Corona Borealis is a circle, an unassailable circle. It lies near the horn on the line connecting Lyra, Vega, and the horn of Bootes.”
“Get to the point!” Luo Ziyang felt a headache when he heard all this nonsense.
“The Northern Crown is a wedding gift from Bacchus to his lover Ariadne, according to legend, it is based on the Corolla worn on Ariadne’s head. “
“The point is… it’s a circle.”
Brother Luo, you’re not bad, but not good and it disappointed
