Xiao Yao tried several times but failed to climb up, and finally relied on Shen Jie to pull him up.

When the two left the water prison and started looking for a way out, they discovered that it was a dark maze.

The narrow passage is dark and damp, the walls within reach are slippery, the iron bars and chains are rusty, the smell of iron and blood in the air mixes with the smell of tetanus, and there are still deep or shallow puddles on the ground. Yao could hear Shen Jie, who was walking in front, making the sound of water "plop" and "plop" coming from her shoes with every step she took.

"It should be good to go as high as possible, right?" A drop of cold water fell on Xiao Yao's forehead, making him shiver.

"Probably." Shen Jie's right hand held a small hanging flame, which was used as a torch to light up the road ahead.

"So, you are the Archmage now?" Xiao Yao sighed: "It really seems like a game. It's a pity that I still don't know how to use my knight ability?"

"I can't tell you, neither do I..." Shen Jie felt uncomfortable with the wet clothes sticking to her body, but there was nothing she could do about it now: "Didn't you get the Don Quixote badge earlier than me? "

"Um……"

"By the way, who is this Mary?" Shen Jie looked at the "badge" on her left hand again.

"You don't even know her, why did you summon her?" Xiao Yao asked puzzledly.

"I don't know either……"

"If I remember correctly, maybe, maybe, probably, she was a medieval British queen... I can't remember the specifics," Xiao Yao tried hard to recall: "It is said that she likes to burn people, and she is known as Bloody Mary—— If you miss it, don’t blame me."

"Eh? I have an impression when you mentioned Bloody Mary. It is a cocktail that I like very much," Shen Jie said eloquently: "It uses a mixture of vodka, tomato juice, lemon slices and so on. It looks a lot like blood. Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, all four flavors, very exciting..."

“Does it taste better than Coca-Cola in a glass bottle?”

"I don't want to talk to you."

"By the way," Xiao Yao asked another question: "Why are you both a queen and I'm just a knight?"

"if not?"

"You are the queen, so I should be the king."

Shen Jie burst out laughing.

"Oh, don't start again." Xiao Yao said.

Fortunately, Shen Jie did not start laughing wildly: "The king only moves one square per round, do you plan to retire here?"

"Why move one square?" Xiao Yao didn't react for a moment.

"If you don't know how to play chess, I'll teach you another day." The girl said proudly.

"Okay, this is what you said," Xiao Yao keenly regarded this as another excuse for a date: "Miss Shen is really versatile, playing piano and chess——"

Halfway through Xiao Yao's words, Shen Jie suddenly turned around and pushed him away hard.

"What did you do-"

Something flew past Xiao Yao with a whoosh! When he looked back, he found that a crossbow arrow had been nailed deeply into the crack in the wall.

"What the hell -" Xiao Yao was shocked.

Before he could react, Shen Jie had already moved forward a few steps, raised her left leg high, and threw the fireball in her hand in the direction of the arrow in the posture of a baseball pitcher.

The fireball quickly slid past and illuminated a panicked figure, and Shen Jie jumped forward without hesitation.

Xiao Yao also hurriedly followed, but the two figures in front of him quickly disappeared into the darkness as the small fireball was extinguished, leaving only the echoes of fists, kicks and punches in the wind and shouts of strength in his ears.

Although Xiao Yao was very worried about Shen Jie, the dark environment around him and the slippery ground under his feet forced him to slow down. At the same time, the sound of fighting in front also stopped abruptly.

"Shen Jie!! Are you okay?"

The sudden silence made Xiao Yao nervous. He wanted to run a few steps quickly, but his foot slipped and he fell painfully.

"Wife!" Xiao Yao's voice trembled a little.

Suddenly there was light again in front of him. At first it was just a candle-like light spot, and then it quickly expanded into a cross-shaped flare. Then the heat wave swept over and the bright light exploded like a supernova, making Xiao Yao instantly feel like he was in a burning hell. .

Fortunately, everything happened as quickly as it came. When Xiao Yao regained his sight, Shen Jie was already back in front of him.

"Why are you calling me nonsense?" Shen Jie said angrily.

The girl held a small flame on her fingertips, and there were some dried stains on her body and face. She looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yao rushed forward and held the girl in his arms: "I was really anxious just now!"

Shen Jie opened her hands widely, neither pushing him away nor hugging him back: "Be good, if anything can happen to me, just be fine, your short-legged King."

"Are you injured?" Xiao Yao suddenly realized that the clothes of both of them were dry and they were very warm and comfortable.

"No." Shen Jie quietly broke away from Xiao Yao's arms, summoned the small flame again, and showed Xiao Yao the humanoid char on the ground. Not far from the char, there was a small hand crossbow and A few scattered crossbow arrows, it seems that this is the attacker.

"How did you do it?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"I'm not very clear. After the light went out, it caught me in the dark. I couldn't see clearly so I had to hug it back, and that's it."

"Ah, it's so detailed." Xiao Yao muttered in his heart without saying it out loud.

He picked up the hand crossbow and checked it, and it seemed that it still worked. However, when he wanted to open the crossbow string, he couldn't use the force with one hand, so he tried several times without success.

"Is that okay?" Shen Jie took the crossbow with her hand, opened the string, and finished loading a crossbow arrow.

"My wife is capable." Xiao Yao tried firing, and found that the function was normal and the accuracy was good.

"Can you stop talking about your wife——!" Shen Jie became angry and took the crossbow and pointed it at Xiao Yao's neck.

"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Yao failed to test the boundaries and immediately quit temporarily.

"Okay, if anything happens, you already have a weapon." Shen Jie re-winded the string and teased Xiao Yao: "Your Majesty, who takes one step per round and shoots one shot per game, protect me."

Xiao Yao wanted to say, "I love my concubine, but she's still alive", but after thinking about it, I decided not to.

After this encounter, the two became more cautious when moving forward to prevent another sneak attack.

Fortunately, they didn't get into any more trouble.

"Could this be the exit?" Shen Jie stood on tiptoes, but she still couldn't reach the wooden board on her head.

Xiao Yao waved his hand and jumped a little, but couldn't reach it, so he squatted down consciously.

Shen Jie rode up with ease and raised her hand to push the wooden board away.

Xiao Yao shouted and pushed her up.

Shen Jie stretched out her hand to grab a ceramic-like ring, took a closer look, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The place where I got out turned out to be a big, dry... flush toilet?

too disgusting!

Shen Jie got off the ground and reached out to fish Xiao Yao out of the toilet. The two stood in the toilet cubicle, looking at each other.

This was the toilet cubicle of St. Francis Middle School. The light was so bright that Xiao Yao couldn't help but squint his eyes for a moment.

The girl's hair was all messed up, and there were several mud marks on her face. The original color of her clothes, pants, shoes and socks could no longer be seen at all, and her wide-leg pants even had two rips, revealing the skin underneath that was no longer white. skin.

But even so, she is still very beautiful, Xiao Yao thought.

Shen Jie reached out and unlocked the door of the compartment, opened the door a crack, and when she saw no one was there, she walked out, followed by Xiao Yao.

Just as the two were about to walk to the bathroom door, "Zhou Qi" ran in in a panic.

"Fuck." Shen Jie didn't hesitate at all, struck preemptively, and rushed forward with flames, but passed through the "Zhou Qi" and didn't touch anything - the "Zhou Qi" just flickered.

Then, "Zhou Qi" went straight through Xiao Yao's body, flashed again, ran to the corner, squatted down, and held his head.

"It seems to be a ghost..." Xiao Yao said.

A closer look revealed that this "Zhou Qi" was not dressed like Sekel, but was wearing the uniform of a junior high school student in the Magic City - a white T-shirt, a red scarf, and black shorts.

Before the two of them could realize what was going on, several more girls wearing the same uniform walked in and walked past them as if no one else was there.

Xiao Yao watched dumbfounded as four or five girls surrounded Zhou Qi in a corner. One of the girls, who looked like a "big sister," took the tap water with a bucket and poured it on Zhou Qi's head.

"Stop looking, let's leave quickly." Shen Jie pulled Xiao Yao, and when he went out, he couldn't help but look back.

Coming out of the bathroom, it was not a corridor, but a strange classroom.

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie have long been accustomed to this unreasonable spatial structure.

"This doesn't seem to be a classroom in your school." Shen Jie said.

"Indeed not."

The classroom was full of students who turned a blind eye to them. There was no teacher around, and the surroundings were noisy. It must have been a self-study class.

Zhou Qi, wearing a junior high school uniform, walked in from the classroom door and moved back to his seat step by step.

Her schoolbag was thrown to the ground, there was a suspicious-colored liquid on the chair, and textbooks and homework were scattered on the floor.

Zhou Qi's lips were deflated, but she didn't say anything. She just knelt down and started picking up her homework.

Until she opened her desk and found that it was full of garbage.

Zhou Qi finally looked around angrily, but the entire class looked indifferent.

"This, this is..." Xiao Yao, who was watching the farce, made a sound.

"It seems like some kind of memory fragment, reappearing or something?" Shen Jie calmly assessed: "So, this world is constructed from Zhou Qi's inner world?"

"It's completely possible," Xiao Yao nodded: "This Zhou Qi always loves to bully people. I didn't expect that she was also the one who was bullied."
