Chapter 618 Maze Trap
A cat talking?
Is this little guy negotiating with himself?
Ronald blinked his own and Patricia's gray eyes of different colors, and was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was happening.
——This situation is extremely reasonable.
In those imaginative picture book worlds, let alone a cat or a dog, even a stone or a river can express an anthropomorphic state and communicate with humans on a logical level.
Ronald turned his head and took one last look at the hotel man who was still repeating his line "I'm at work." He turned around and knelt down in front of the black kitten who had just spoken and said: "Little guy, I think we can reach a cooperation
. "
There are not many humans as smart as you. Come with me!"
After the simple negotiation, the black kitten lay on the ground to stretch its body, then jumped lightly and squatted on Ronald's shoulder.
At this time, it lightly scratched Ronald's hair with its furry paws to make it as comfortable as possible. The other paw pointed directly to the side: "
Detective, look here."
"Follow this. Go east, go around a few corners and you'll see the pancake shop."
"Okay." Ronald nodded slightly.
He waved to Patricia behind him, and the two of them walked eastward along the street.
...
Soon, the first obstacle appeared in front of two people and one cat.
A group of cartoon-style passers-by surrounded the middle of the road, blocking the way forward.
"What are they doing?"
Ronald stepped forward to check with confusion.
In the center surrounded by these spring citizens is an open space, where a lion with pure white hair dens, still muttering: "What a
ghost!"
"Why do you let me in your human celebration? " An animal performs for the human queen, but I want to perform for the lioness in the zoo! Strike! I want to strike! I want to rest! Even if you give me a few more pieces of meat to eat, I will not go to work. This is so unreasonable!"
"..."
Ronald looked at this scene in silence, and then pushed the ordinary citizens in front of him to watch the lion strike.
——Not moving at all.
Ronald tried very hard, but the opponent didn't move even a centimeter, and he didn't even look back at Ronald.
This situation is like an announcement when the art of perfection is unfolding.
The city has now become a maze. These blocked roads are like dead ends in the maze. It is impossible to go directly through it except to find a way around in other directions.
"Ronald, what's going on?"
At this time, Patricia followed from behind.
Looking at the scene happening on the familiar street in front of her, the girl's eyes were obviously confused. In Patricia's life, neither the education she received as a noble nor the education she received as a swordsman gave her the guiding ideology to deal with this situation.
Ronald immediately explained:
"Now we are probably in a maze, a place where the road is blocked, so we can only find a way around it."
Hearing Ronald's explanation, Patricia felt a little uncomfortable. He pointed to the wall on the other side with too much confidence:
"Go around...you mean there?"
Ronald looked in the direction Patricia pointed.
It was a ladder mounted on the edge of the wall, which led directly to the roof of the townhouse here.
——In the maze picture book.
——This is a very common correct path!
"That's it, let's go!"
Ronald's expression brightened.
This is actually just right.
Just now, he was focused on leading the way directed by the kitten on his shoulder; while Patricia just followed along and naturally had time to observe the surrounding situation, thus discovering this path in advance.
Two people and one cat immediately went up the ladder to the roof.
The terrain here is also very unique.
The irregular buildings are connected by wooden planks like single-plank bridges. The end of the eaves or roofs is the dead end of this maze. The entire area covers most of the residential area.
Ronald tried to jump directly from the roof here to the ground.
But even if he makes this move, he will still be bounced back to his original position by an invisible wall of air.
It was just like looking at those paper mazes when I was a kid.
You can only act in the prescribed position here.
——But as long as there is a way to go.
In the past, when advancing eastward to break through the core of the maze, Ronald took Patricia back and forth on the rooftop maze. It took more than seven or eight minutes to return to the ground from a tree staircase surrounding the chimney.
Snap -
At this time, the black kitten on Ronald's shoulder jumped down and went into a store without looking back.
Look in the direction the kitten left.
This is their destination - Parso Pancake House.
In the world of picture books, there is no need to worry about queuing. Ronald made several turns in the long queue and successfully entered the pancake shop.
Immediately, a scream came into his ears:
"Oh, help!"
"I don't want to be eaten by this cat!"
Ronald turned around and saw a pancake with a cartoon face, tears streaming down his face. He was caught in the mouth by the black kitten just now, and then dragged on the ground towards the corner of the counter.
This pancake screams for help though.
However, neither the customers in the store nor the clerk, nor the black kitten who wanted to enjoy it, obviously had no intention of saving this guy from his misery.
"..."
When Ronald was silent, the staff at the store counter called to Ronald:
"Mr. Detective, are you coming to eat our pancakes!"
Ronald said with a sense of empathy. He replied:
"Actually, I am investigating a case. The murderer should have bought pancakes from you today!" "
What a coincidence!" the owner of the pancake shop replied in a very exaggerated tone, "The shop just opened this morning. , a group of suspicious guys came to buy pancakes from me!" "
While this group of people were queuing up, I saw them holding ferry tickets to the port area. If you go to the west of the city, you will definitely catch them!"
"..."
Ronald immediately understood that he had bypassed a standard trap that was easy to understand.
If he does not follow the rules of this game and rushes directly to the city gate in the border forest area, then even if he is blocked on the road out of the city, he will definitely face a complete failure.
The only option to catch up with the group of escapees is to continue following the prompts and travel all the way across the springs to the port area.
Ronald nodded and thanked the owner of the pancake shop.
Looking back, I saw that the black kitten from before was still sitting on the side of the pancake shop counter.
Then it was like feeling Ronald looking at it with beady eyes.
The cute little guy stopped enjoying pancakes, raised his paw and pointed outside:
"If you want to go to the west."
"You can find my relative in the business district. He is very familiar with it."
