Chapter 76 The Trial of Summer. The second entry into the palace

This is. This is the so-called "soul palace"?
Although when she was lying on the sofa to sleep last night, Du Shiyue had imagined many times what she might encounter today.

But when she actually saw the huge castle that seemed to be made of ice and snow, all her imagination instantly seemed bleak in comparison.

In addition to the sharp shape, the biggest impression given by this entire castle is that of murderous aura.

Logically speaking, a castle made of ice and snow coupled with dazzling purple light will usually give people a strong sense of colorful fantasy.

The ice and snow castle in Du Shiyue's fantasy is the product of this dream.

The castle's exterior is shimmering with starlight, and its interior is filled with fragrant fragrance.

Climbing up the steps of the castle gate, lovely ice and snow elves dance lightly in the air.

It makes people want to walk and dance, play the role of a princess in a Disney animated movie, and enjoy the gorgeous time of girls.

But in fact, there is obviously nothing dreamy about such a cold, sharp, murderous castle.

As for the ice and snow elves, they don’t even have a single hair on them. You have to be careful about whether the Death God Liu Liu squatting in the corner will cut off your head.

After watching with bated breath for a while, Du Shiyue turned to look at Jiang Zheng and said with a smile:
"It's really a scary castle, but seeing what you showed just now, I feel much calmer."

Even though she was shocked by the spiritual palace in front of her, Du Shiyue did not forget the scene where Jiang Zheng led her over the fence just now.

Jiang Zheng did not explain how he brought her to teleport here, and Du Shiyue would not take the initiative to ask questions.

After all, even if we are companions, there are some things that we cannot talk freely about, and we still have to keep some of our own secrets.

Regarding Du Shiyue's thoughtful gesture, Jiang Zheng could only shrug.

Then he took her towards the main entrance of the ice and snow castle.

The bright front door was not locked, and there was no monster like the Ice Maid or Death that I encountered last time on the way in.

Soon, the two of them slowly climbed up the stairs and arrived at the familiar huge hall.

According to Jiang Zheng's last investigation, this hall should be the core location of the entire spiritual palace.

There are four corridors around the hall, connecting the ice and snow passages leading to the four trials.

And in the center of the huge ice and snow door in front of the hall, hung the strange "Virgin with a Baby" painting.

When he came to this portrait for the second time and stopped to look up, Jiang Zheng had a completely different perception than the last time.

Last time, he just thought that the portrait was very weird. It looked very sacred and elegant, but it concealed many dark things, which made people feel uncomfortable all over.

But now that he knew the background of Mi'er's family, he could recognize many familiar objects from the "Madonna Holding Baby Painting".

For example, the dagger held in the hand of the Virgin holding the child should be the murder weapon Liu Songwen used to assassinate Shen Yunyi.

The brick stained with blood that fell on the ground was the one that young Jiang Zheng hit on the back of the murderer's head.

Jiang Zheng never thought that one day he would be able to see these things with his own eyes.

The cause ten years ago and the effect ten years later crossed the river of time and space and became entangled in front of him.

In addition, various syringes, medicine jars, torn strips of cloth and round hanging ropes are scattered in the background of the painting.

The last time he looked at them, Jiang Zheng only felt that these things were unlucky and turned around without taking a closer look.

Thinking about it now, these objects should symbolize the struggle and pain behind this Virgin.

It shows that in the past ten years, she not only used drugs to anesthetize herself, but also thought about suicide.

If Jiang Zheng guessed correctly, the baby held in the arms of the Virgin in the painting should be Mi'er.

The Virgin is naturally her mother, the woman at the center of all events, Wen Ya.

"."

Looking at the portrait at this time, Jiang Zheng felt like there was a lump in his throat and could only remain silent.

Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did to Liu Songwen back then.

If you want to kill others, you must have the consciousness of being killed by others.

Since that guy wanted to kill Shen Yunyi, Jiang Zheng would never show any mercy to him.

But Liu Songwen did deserve to die, but what about Wen Ya, Mi'er and their son?Did they also deserve the treatment they received later?
Originally, Jiang Zheng had never thought about this kind of problem, nor would he think about it.As a time traveler, this world is more like playing a game to him.

When an enemy comes out, kill it if you can beat it, run away if you can't beat it, and play whatever you want.

But this is not a game world after all, let alone a novel world, but naked reality.

Humans in the real world are not procedurally generated NPCs, and they do not turn into light points and dissipate after death.

Just like Liu Songwen, although others die, the hatred will not disappear.

It will only accumulate more and more in the hearts of the heirs as time goes by, until hatred spurts out like hot lava.

So no matter Jiang Zheng wants it or not, he has become the object of others' resentment and the person who has been incarnated by magma.

Although Jiang Zheng is often hated by others, hate and resentment are different emotions, and the intensity contained in them is completely incomparable.

Jiang Zheng had to admit that he was not quite used to this kind of intense emotion that sent chills down his spine.

Seemingly seeing the complicated expression on her companion's face, Du Shiyue, who probably understood what he was thinking, quickly comforted her:
"Don't think too much. It's not your fault. Don't feel guilty about it."

"Feeling guilty?" Jiang Zheng laughed when he heard this and joked: "Do you think I am that kind of boring saint? What does the life and death of others have to do with me."

Originally Jiang Zheng wanted to use daily gags to fool him.

Unexpectedly, Du Shiyue looked into his eyes and said seriously:

"You are not a saint, but you are indeed a good person with a conscience. I can guarantee this."

"Hmph... I don't know what you are talking about. Let's go quickly. There is nothing to see here."

As if he didn't want to get entangled with Du Shiyue over such nonsense, Jiang Zheng took the lead and walked in the direction of "Xia Jian".

Along the way, the two of them were relatively speechless until they pushed open the door with "Summer Room" written on it.

It's still the familiar square room, with the huge TV screen on the front wall.

On the huge wall-mounted TV screen, the familiar trial rules instructions still appeared.

Everything seemed to be the same as when Jiang Zheng came last time, the only difference was that he was not alone.

[Hall Trial: Summer]

[Trial name: Three centimeters per second]

[Trial Difficulty:★]

[Trial rules: Questions will appear quickly on the screen in front of you. Please answer within three seconds. If you answer three questions correctly in a row, you will be deemed to have passed the level. If you fail, you will be punished]

It should be noted in advance that Jiang Zheng cannot modify the rules of these palace trials.

Because these words describing the rules have long been formed on the screen, they belong to the "past tense" rather than the "ongoing tense".

If you use a book to describe it, Jiang Zheng can modify "the words on the book that are in the printing process."

But if it is a book that has been printed and is lying in his hand, then naturally it cannot be modified.

In other words, if this kind of screen setting transfer rule is adopted inside the palace.

Then Jiang Zheng couldn't mess with the rules and could only find other ways, such as turning over the table and breaking the door.

Just as Jiang Zheng was thinking this, Du Shiyue raised her head and looked at the ceiling above, raised her eyebrows and said:

"If you get the answer wrong, will this thing be suppressed for a while?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we suppress it. We can escape at any time anyway."

Because he already had the previous experience, Jiang Zheng was quite familiar with the situation between trials.

Although his life would be in danger if he lost in this "three centimeters per second" trial, Jiang Zheng had the confidence to wait for Du Shiyue to leave.

Then this trial is not difficult in nature. Anyway, you only have to do it once and again, and you can pass it.

In this case, Jiang Zheng also casually said to the screen: "Okay, let's start the trial."

The next moment he chose to start right away, the first question immediately appeared on the screen.
