Chapter 292: Chapter 186 Endless Corridor Maze_1
[Looking at the sign on the side, you confirm that the office in front of you is that of ’Maguire, the Great Scholar’. You push the door and enter...]
[The office is simply furnished, with many papers and documents on the desk, and a large bookcase filled with books by the wall.]
[Searching...]
[You find an old book in the desk drawer.]
[The book is titled ’108 Ways to Chase the Stars’. You are pleasantly surprised and hurriedly flip open the book.]
[Most of the book pages are badly damaged, the writing is hard to discern, you painstakingly decode each word and sentence, finally finding some information about ’Chasing Star Corridor’.]
[Due to many missing parts, you can only guess and infer the key content.]
[’Chasing Star Corridor’ is the only path to the ’Star Spirit Hall’. It is the test before entering the ’Star Spirit Hall’.]
[The ’Chasing Star Corridor’ is layered like a maze. Those who stray often lose their direction and are forever trapped in the corridor.]
[Only the believers of the ’Bright Stars’ can safely pass through the ’Chasing Star Corridor’ and enter the legendary ’Star Spirit Hall’.]
[The more devout the faith, the simpler the intricate corridor becomes. Otherwise, the corridor will become more complex and winding, becoming a nightmare for heretics.]
[If one can pass through the ’Chasing Star Corridor’ and enter the ’Star Spirit Hall’, they can receive the blessings left by the divine spirits...]
[You have gained knowledge, your knowledge has increased by 1500! Current knowledge: 2101/15200]
Lin Xun was stunned.
The ’Chasing Star Corridor’ was a test of a follower’s devotion.
For a devout follower, the test was easy, but for him, a traitor, it could be the highest difficulty.
He wasn’t worried about what kind of divine residence the ’Star Spirit Hall’ was.
If it was really hidden by the Star Gods, the ’Knowledge god servant’ would summon him when he obtained the Teleportation Scroll.
Lin Xun tried to click the Teleportation Scroll again.
[Do you want to use the ’Chasing Star Corridor’s Teleportation Scroll’ to teleport to the ’Chasing Star Corridor’?]
[You have fulfilled all teleportation conditions, do you want to start teleportation?]
He hesitated for a while, and then made up his mind.
"Go for it! I refuse to believe a tiny maze can defeat me!"
[Teleporting...]
[...]
[...]
[Teleportation successful!]
[An ordinary Wandering Soul awakens in a hall filled with stars...]
[You open your eyes and look around...]
[You are in a hall, the walls, dome, and ground around you are painted with stars. The dazzling charming stars continually flicker and move.]
[Looking back, you see a dark oval teleportation gate behind you. You try to touch the teleportation gate, but an invisible force repels you...]
[You understand, you can’t pass through the teleportation gate just yet.]
[The starlight illuminates the entire hall, and also a square stone tablet in the center of the hall.]
[You step forward to read the words on the stone tablet— ’Only those who are favored by the stars can pass through here’.]
[Behind the stone tablet, a large book page radiating light is floating mid-air...]
[You found a remain page of the ’Book of Salvation’, the ’Rest Page’!]
Lin Xun was overjoyed at the sight.
Since there was a Rest Page here, he had unlimited chances to try and error.
Passing the ’Chasing Star Corridor’ was just a matter of time.
[You touch the Rest Page, the remaining mysterious power makes your heart palpitate, your common soul resonates strongly with the page.]
[You pass through the ’Rest Page’, connecting the hall to the left, middle and right corridors.]
[You look ahead and see like the hall, the three corridors are filled with flickering stars that constantly shift and move, as if you’re in outer space.]
[Which corridor do you want to enter?]
Lin Xun clicked to enter the leftmost corridor.
[You step into the left corridor and keep moving forward...]
[...]
[At the end of the corridor, three identical corridors split off, still left, middle and right.]
[Which corridor do you want to enter?]
He smirked, thinking it was a rudimentary trick.
While holding his phone, he opened his computer.
"It’s just an endless fork in the road, right? As long as I record each option, and try them one by one... A problem that can be solved by hard work is not a problem at all."
Lin Xun confidently started his hard-working journey.
...』
Half an hour later, he began to doubt life.
He had already chosen more than ninety fork options, and the options in front of him seemed endless.
[You step into the left corridor again...]
[You keep moving forward, and the scene in front of you is finally not the forked corridor you’re sick of seeing...]
Lin Xun was overjoyed.
He finally reached the end of the maze. Could it be that his luck was so good that he reached the exit of the maze directly?
[You feel a momentary dizziness...]
[You enter a hall, the walls, dome, and ground around you are painted with stars. The dazzling charming stars continually flicker and move.]
[A square stone tablet stands in the middle of the hall, behind the stone tablet is the familiar ’Rest Page’ and three forked corridors.]
[Behind you is the dark teleportation gate you just passed through.]
[Congratulations, after relentless effort, you finally return to the starting point of your journey!]
"..."
"Is this some kind of sick game, are you messing with me?"
Lin Xun immediately felt defeated and started cursing.
After a while, he suppressed his anger and started to think rationally.
Counting the number of fork options he went through in half an hour, it was exactly ninety-nine, not one more or less.
