The garden's former flourishing scene was gone; dead branches and fallen leaves were everywhere, and petals were scattered everywhere. As they continued walking, a long-dried fountain appeared before their eyes.

There are mottled black and brown marks on the stone walls of the fountain. In the center of the fountain is a statue of Zeus. The statue has long been stained black, making Zeus look hideous.

Sangqi sat calmly on the swing, as relaxed as when she was talking with 042, as if all this had nothing to do with her and she was just a tourist who came to visit the garden.

Faced with the brand new dungeon map, Li Yan was like a travel blogger, chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room while looking for clues.

Unlike other places, the grass and trees around the fountain did not wither and looked lush and green. Zhou Yixi carefully observed the grass and trees, trying to find the difference.

"In my hometown, we have to dig up these withered plants more or less by the roots, because many foods, such as peanuts, have their fruits grown underground."

As Li Yan spoke, he took a wooden stick and dug down along the roots of the withered plant.

The dark brown soil gradually piled up beside it, and the withered plants were uprooted and stacked into piles like firewood.

"what!"

Hearing the scream, Zhou Yixi rushed over quickly with a scimitar in hand.

Li Yan fell to the ground, and the wooden stick he used to dig the soil was thrown aside. A piece of white bone was exposed in the pit. It was obvious that it was a human bone.

Zhou Yixi patted Li Yan's shoulder to comfort him.

"It's okay, it's just bones. Just wait a minute and I'll dig it out."

Zhou Yixi bought an engineer shovel from the points store and expanded the pit neatly.

More and more bones emerged from the ground, the flesh and blood having long since decayed away. The bones were as smooth as jade, with no visible signs of fracture.

Zhou Yixi put on gloves and picked out the bones. The densely packed bones piled up into a mountain.

Li Yan, who had recovered, looked at the pile of bones and couldn't help but wonder, "Why is there no skull here?"

"There's a tall tower behind the castle, and the skull is in a dark room inside."

At this time, Sang Qi had already walked over slowly, holding a beautiful rose in her hand.

After seeing it, Li Yan asked, "Rose?"

"No, there are no roses in the garden. These beautiful flowers are all Chinese roses. The one in the corner is a wild rose."

In the castle room, Lian Wu suddenly opened his eyes. The pain all over his body made him frown, as if he had just experienced a torture. All the muscles in his body were tense, and even raising his hand was painful.

Although it seems like the same action as usual, the pain index has actually been maxed out.

Just by walking out of the room, beads of sweat appeared on Lianwu's forehead.

Lian Wu realized that he had indeed gone too far this time.

However, he did not regret it. He had tested the limits of his current body and dealt with Mr. Leeson by the way. It was not a loss.

When he reached the stairs, Lian Wu suddenly frowned and stared at the stairs leading to the third floor. The orchid mark was triggered, and someone went to the third floor.

Lian Wu ignored the pain in his body and quickly went upstairs in two steps.

Sure enough, the door to the second room was wide open, and all that could be seen from the outside was pitch black.

Lian Wu walked in without hesitation. The familiar system prompt sounded, the lights in the entire room lit up, and a bookshelf maze appeared in front of him.

The red paint on the ground, which had not yet dried, was extremely conspicuous. Lian Wu held the sword in one hand and walked quickly forward along the paint.

Soon he reached Area H, where broken books were scattered on the ground.

Lian Wu squatted down and picked up one of the books, on which were two silver needles.

At this time in Area F, the bookshelf disappeared, and three people stood in an unfamiliar place.

There were high walls all around, the bases of the walls were covered with thorns, the walls were hung with thorny plants, the soil on the ground was dark brown, and there was a strong smell of blood everywhere.

Across the land, a row of crosses came into view, with many wounded people tied to them. A group of people dressed in aristocratic attire surrounded a man.

The man was dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothes, holding a long whip covered with spikes in his hand, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

He swung the whip, and with a terrible scream, a person on the cross was covered with bloodstains, his clothes were torn, and the exposed skin was covered with scars.

"Hahahaha!"

The nobles laughed joyfully, as if they were watching a circus performance. It seemed that the people on the cross were not their own kind, but toys for their amusement.

Zhang Hui covered her mouth tightly, her face full of fear, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.

Every time the noble man swung the whip, it seemed as if he was whipping them as well. As doctors, Tang Ze and Chen Qianyi couldn't bear to see their fellow human beings being tortured.

The blood dripped onto the ground, gathering into streams that stained the earth darkly, nourishing the plants on the land and providing ample emotional value for the nobles.

Laughter and crying were intertwined. In an instant, this place seemed to have become hell, where fallen angels and demons were having a joyful feast.

Suddenly, their eyes moved away from the cross and stared at the three people with burning eyes, as if they had seen new playthings.

Chen Qianyi, realizing something was wrong, quickly took out a silver needle and took defensive action.

The fallen angel, the embodiment of nobility, clutched torture instruments in his hands and pounced on his new plaything like a hungry wolf.

Silver needles shot out and pierced into their bodies, making a burning sound, but they seemed to feel no pain and let out a terrifying laugh.

Zhang Hui stepped back step by step until her calf hit a thorn bush and immediately started bleeding.

A noble suddenly pounced on her. Zhang Hui ran past in panic, but fell to the ground in panic. The wound on her leg was pulled bigger by the thorn bushes, and her pants were instantly soaked with blood.

Chen Qianyi leaned back, dodging an attack from a noble, then kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying a distance. She then ran towards Zhang Hui, grabbed her, and barely dodged the attack.

The other nobles watched from a distance, not participating in the fight, just like watching the beasts in the Colosseum, betting huge sums of money on their fight.

Tang Ze was running in a panic, and the little nobleman who was chasing him seemed to be playing with him, chasing him slowly from behind and rushing forward to intimidate him from time to time.

They have been targeted by the devil, who has started a hunt, enjoying the panic of his prey and watching them fall into despair step by step.

The silver needles didn't work, so Chen Qianyi took out many spherical bombs and threw them towards places where there were many nobles without even considering the hit rate.

The moment the spherical bomb touched the object, it exploded with a bang, releasing smoke containing powder. For a moment, the air was colorful and mixed with all kinds of strange smells.

However, apart from affecting the nobles' perception, it did not cause any substantial harm to them.

At this time, frost condensed on the leaves of a certain part of the wall, and a white figure quietly appeared inside the wall.

A noble noticed the anomaly and moved towards it tentatively, but he never expected that a sword would come towards him and pierce his body without warning.

Before he could even shout, the noble was frozen into an ice sculpture, falling straight backwards into the blood-soaked soil, with his entire back covered in blood and mud.

After Lian Wu quietly eliminated several lone nobles under the cover of smoke, the remaining nobles finally noticed what was happening.

At some point, their companions seemed to decrease in number and the temperature around them seemed to drop.

The latest person to notice this change was Chen Qianyi. After staying in the Shocking Memory World for a long time, her sensitivity to temperature had already increased to a level far beyond that of ordinary people.

The moment the temperature dropped, Chen Qianyi knew Lian Wu was coming. She held Zhang Hui with one hand and continued to place bombs with the other, trying her best to provide cover for Lian Wu.

Tang Ze had already run to some corner, at least Chen Qianyi could no longer see him.

When everyone realized something was wrong, Lian Wu was already holding a noble boy in his hand.

Unlike other nobles, this little boy was quiet, showed no resistance at all, and had beautiful golden curly hair.

Lian Wu froze him into an ice sculpture without hesitation, threw him against the wall, and shattered him into pieces.

At the moment of shattering, the surrounding scene changed, like fading, the terrible hell faded away, and the bookshelf reappeared in front of them.

Congratulations to players Lian Wu, Chen Qianyi, Tang Ze, and Zhang Hui for achieving the achievement: Revisiting the Past.

This place was once a slaughterhouse, a place of entertainment for the nobles, and slaves who had lost their personal freedom suffered inhuman torture here. Above their heads was the vast, free blue sky, under their feet was the blood-soaked soil, and behind them was the heavy cross.

They were imprisoned and tortured, their agonizing cries becoming a stimulant for the nobles, with no one paying attention and no one mourning. To them, this was hell, a prison of suffering.

Until one day, the devil was judged, a new devil came, and flowers bloomed all over hell, intending to cover up this sin.

In fact, Chen Qianyi and the others had never left the maze, everything was just an illusion.

After leaving the illusion, Zhang Hui looked at Lian Wu in surprise, "Are you awake?"

Lian Wu nodded and put away the sword.

His entire arm was now extremely sore, his fingertips were trembling, and the pain ran down his arm to his shoulder blade.

"How much have you explored already?"

Lian Wu originally followed the paint traces to the end of Area D. At the intersection, he randomly chose a road and happened to meet Chen Qianyi and the others. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get here so quickly.

"I've basically walked through the right half of the maze, but I haven't been to Area X on the left side of the intersection."

Tang Ze welcomed the addition of a big man to the exploration team. The more people there were, the safer he would be.

Everyone returned to the intersection and turned left to Area X.

As a result, they didn't walk far before another fork in the road appeared. Lianwu and the others chose to continue going straight. Nothing happened in Area X, but there was another crossroads at the end.

"This maze is making me dizzy. I don't think this castle is that big. We've been walking for so long, and we haven't reached the end yet."

Tang Ze's legs and feet were sore from walking that he started to complain. There were densely packed bookshelves everywhere, and if it weren't for the letters on them, Tang Ze would have suspected he was just wandering around in a maze.

But it was just this complaint that aroused the vigilance of Lian Wu and Chen Qianyi.

The room was indeed unnaturally large.

"I think this little bit of trial and error approach might not work. Have you found that girl?"

If Lian Wu hadn't mentioned this, they would have almost forgotten that there was a requirement to find a girl in the rules for passing the level.

Chen Qianyi's face suddenly turned ugly. She had cleared so many dungeons, but suffered a disastrous defeat in such a novice dungeon. Although the result was much better than Feng Fu's, she did not lose her life.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, if we continue like this, the probability of passing the level is too low.

At this moment, Zhang Hui thought of Alice, "Could it be that because we have become smaller, we think this room is very big?"

Hearing this, Lian Wu suddenly remembered a secret place he had seen before.

The secret realm itself was small, just a pool of water, but it was filled with various spells. Once anyone entered, their bodies would shrink to the size of a dragonfly. At the bottom of the pool lay a miniature town, where anyone who entered would appear.

Thinking about it this way, their current situation is similar to that secret realm.

As for the solution, I'm afraid the clue is still with that girl.

Lian Wu actually already had a guess in his heart about the girl's identity.

Perhaps the only person Mr. Leeson could never forget was Wilhelmina. His obsession with her was morbid and extreme.

Where would a man like this put his beloved woman?

If he were Mr. Leeson, he would definitely lock up Wilhelmina and not let anyone see her, making her a canary in a cage.

In such a maze of bookshelves, where can one really be considered a cage?

book!

Chen Qianyi also thought of this aspect. After all, the ghost at that time also came out of the book, and the so-called girl was most likely hiding in the book.

Wilhelmina died in the flames, so perhaps she could use the Fire Technique here. Fire Technique was not Lianwu's strong point, and there were so many books here that Lianwu couldn't burn them all by herself.

"Protect yourselves, I'm going to set a fire."

Chen Qianyi bought two oil barrels from the system store and gave them to Tang Ze and Zhang Hui.

"Do you still remember the route we took? Take these two barrels of oil and pour it along the way. Once you're done, stay away. If you encounter any danger, buy supplies from the store."

After getting the oil, Tang Ze and Zhang Hui did not dare to delay and jogged back.

After the two of them were completely far away, Chen Qianyi said to Lian Wu seriously, "Pay attention to Tang Ze."

Lian Wu nodded, raised his hand, and a ball of fire appeared in his palm.

As if sensing their intention, the bookshelf began to shake, and the books on it fell one by one.

Especially the books above their heads, which seemed to be equipped with radar, smashed towards Lian Wu and Chen Qianyi's heads.

Lian Wu didn't give the bookshelf any face at all. He swung his hand towards the bookshelf, and the sparks fell on the books.

The dry books were instantly ignited, bursting into flames, and huge tongues of fire swept across the bookshelf.
