Duo Ya looked at the button and suggested, "How about I press this mechanism?"
"It's okay, this mechanism is most likely the surprise." Su You shook his head and did not move away.
After Duo Ya's proposal was rejected, she stood beside Su You with a bow and arrow.
Shan Qing, on the other hand, was thinking about what Su You just said, so when she heard that Su You had found the trap, she didn't have any excessive emotions... She was still immersed in Su You's words.
As the raised button was pressed, all three people saw the 'ground' opposite the button, on the left side of the road, slowly opening, and then revealing a downward step.
Su You took out the advanced road guide rune and set the first coordinate at the entrance of the steps.
"Let's go." Su You walked in front, leading the two of them down the steps.
Although there is no light source under the steps, it may even be because it is underground, the light is even dimmer, and it can almost be said that you can't see your fingers.
But because of the existence of the lighting runes, they can still see the scene clearly——
In fact, there is nothing special. It is still the same as above. There are dark blue smooth walls on the left and right sides, but the road here goes down instead of a flat road.
When the steps reached the end, there was a long straight road. After walking along this straight road, Su You and the other two discovered that they had actually left the maze directly.
"Is this...the entrance to the maze?" Duoya looked at the obvious maze door in front of her and felt that this trip seemed a bit too easy.
Not only her, but Su You and Shan Qing also felt that this seemed a bit too simple.
After all, it is a three-and-a-half-star ruins. How come they came out with a junior spiritual master and an intermediate lucky charm?
How can it be so simple!
Suyou looked at the bare coral door, and then at the tall stone pillars that seemed to be engraved with a string of complex characters, and a bold idea vaguely emerged in her heart.
"This is a mirror maze." The so-called mirror maze means that there are two mazes. These two mazes are mirror images and are completely upside down.
What confirms this idea are the two passages Su You obtained——
The first paragraph is the text that Yuai saw before, which is the eight words "pathless maze, there is no way in but no way out".
The second paragraph is what she is seeing now, and the translation should be 'extending in all directions, without beginning and end'.
The pathless maze corresponds to the one with no road and the other with all directions open, just like a mirror image, with completely opposite meanings.
There is also a correspondence between having an entrance and no exit and no beginning and an end. The entrance of the maze is the 'starting point' and the 'beginning'. Being without a beginning and an end means there is no entrance, but the meaning of having an exit is exactly the opposite of 'there is an entrance but no exit'.
Shanqing: "Mirror maze... I seem to have heard of this. It is said that the way to crack this maze is to enter from the entrance of a mirror maze, then find the entrance of another mirror in the maze, and then reach the second maze, and then Go out through the exit of this second maze?"
The cracking method mentioned by Shan Qing is actually correct, because the two mirror mazes are interconnected and can travel between each other, and one has an entrance and the other has an exit. If you enter from one and exit from the other, you have passed the level.
This is the best way to understand, and also the most troublesome way.
After all, the characteristic of the maze itself is that people can't find the way and lose their direction. As a result, this method has to find the entrance of the first mirror, then the entrance of the maze, and then the entrance of the second mirror, and finally Find the exit, and this entrance and exit may be hidden by agencies like the underground passage just now... Isn't this troublesome?
Unless they are extremely lucky and this maze has no time limit, after this trip, they may not be able to become a 'treasure of the ocean' with this underwater maze.
But their luck is indeed quite good. After all, they have completed the first step - finding the maze with an entrance and finding the entrance.
But Su You is not going to use this troublesome method to pass the level. She has another way to crack the mirror maze, which is risky but can save a lot of trouble.
Su You: "The method you mentioned is correct, but I am going to use another method to crack it."
If the first method is simply troublesome and time-consuming, then if the second method can be successful, it will only take a short time.
The principle of this cracking method is to combine the two mirror mazes into one, so that they have both an entrance and an exit. In this way, they don't even need to find the entrance, because they are in the maze themselves, they just Just need to find an exit.
Moreover, after the maze is merged into one, it will become much easier for them to find the exit, because in addition to merging the exit and entrance, the characteristics of 'no path' and 'no access in all directions' will most likely also be merged.
One has no roads, and the other has roads everywhere. If you neutralize it a little, although the exit will not be clear at a glance, it will definitely not take much effort to find it.
"I didn't expect there was such a way..." Shan Qing was a little surprised, but she didn't doubt Su You because she said it very confidently, as if she had really experienced the mirror maze and successfully used it. The method is the same as passing the level.
Not only that, the person who told her to solve the mirror maze also said that there is more than one solution to this maze.
All he knew was the most troublesome one, which corresponded exactly with what Su You said.
"So what should we do to merge the two mazes?" She doesn't know whether it's because of what she just reminded her to be 'confident', or because of the knowledge and ability that Su You has shown so far. Shan Qing can now say that I have great trust in Su You.
It is no exaggeration to say that now, as long as it does not involve dangerous matters, as long as Su You gives orders, she will definitely execute them immediately without any hesitation.
"The method of merging mazes is neither difficult nor simple. The mirror maze is separated because the maze contains too much energy, so it needs to 'split' itself to disperse the energy." In other words, if They can help the maze to 'consume' the excess energy, and then there is no need for them to do anything else, and the maze will merge on its own.
After all, they are one body. If it were not for carrying too much energy that would cause the maze to be destroyed, no one would want to tear themselves in half.
"...After being dispersed, they will create these energies into guardians to guard the maze. These guardians are the embodiment of the excess energy of the maze."
