Star, who understood this thing well, said, "Once the puzzle is complete, the content on the picture can be materialized. Let's go find it quickly."
"Okay, let's go."
The two first entered the left room, which was like a child's play room, with puzzles, building blocks, and Origami Birds.
Star first picked up the puzzle. At this moment, the puzzle bird eagerly jumped up, but it seemed to realize that Star was not the person it was waiting for.
"Chirp~" It flew away in disappointment.
The words in the room floated up again.
[Mikhail, take it with you. It will protect you from harm.]
The two looked around the room again. After confirming there was nothing else, they went to another room.
[I will definitely protect him.]
[I promise you, Mikhail.]
In the other room, two Memory Zone Memes were aimlessly wandering. Their distorted, ferocious faces and bodies emanating an eerie aura sent chills down one's spine.
Firefly slightly raised her right hand, seemingly wanting to take action, but just then, Star quickly reached out and shielded her behind him. He straightened his back, his eyes fixed firmly on the gradually approaching Memory Zone Memes, and let out a cold snort, "Hmph hmph... Let these monsters taste the power of the Galaxy Bat Hero!"
The Memory Zone Memes clearly noticed the two humans in front of them. They advanced slowly and heavily, step by step, closing in on Star and Firefly. Facing this terrifying scene, Star showed no fear. He gripped the baseball bat tightly in his hand and charged at the Memory Zone Memes without hesitation.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, Star suddenly flickered, swinging the bat with lightning speed! With a muffled thud, the baseball bat accurately struck the head of one of the Memory Zone Memes!
Following that, Star moved like a ghost between the two, his baseball bat transforming into sharp arcs, continuously attacking the Memory Zone Memes. Every move was clean and precise, without the slightest bit of sloppiness.
After just a few rounds, the two seemingly powerful Memory Zone Memes were unable to resist and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
After the battle, Star turned around triumphantly, his gaze meeting Firefly's. At this moment, her face was full of pride and confidence, with a faint smile on her lips.
Firefly, on the other hand, had her mouth wide open, her expression a mix of surprise and a hint of—rather than shyness, it was more accurately a forced pretense: "So, so amazing."
Star seemed completely oblivious to this, merely rubbing her nose a little self-consciously and smiling, "Hehe... Anyway, the other puzzle piece has also been found. Let's hurry back." With that, she took Firefly's hand and turned to leave the room.
Back in the hall, Star carefully arranged the puzzle pieces. The original large door vanished directly into thin air, revealing the passage behind it.
"It disappeared... It looks like we're almost at the end?" Firefly said.
They passed through the corridor and entered a circular room. The room was very dark, with only a deep blue treasure chest in the center emitting a faint glow.
"Uh... Only one treasure chest? So suspicious. Should we open it...?" Firefly said hesitantly.
"Hmm... Open it," Star nodded, then quickly walked forward and forcefully lifted the treasure chest lid. Inside the treasure chest was only an unknown puzzle fragment, whose purpose was unknown.
Star casually put the fragment into her backpack.
Ding~~~
The treasure chest transformed into light and disappeared. A strange sound began to echo in the room. The next moment, all the lights in the room turned on, and the previously dim room instantly became bright.
They saw several televisions in the room, constantly flickering with mosaics, and distorted clocks hanging on the walls.
Firefly seemed startled and said, "...What's going on?! Why are all the lights on? It's so scary..."
"But, there are so many doors here... We should be able to leave through one of them."
Star swallowed, observed carefully, and then walked to a door.
Rumble!
The door opened with a loud sound, revealing a long tunnel and another door at the end.
Star gripped her baseball bat tightly and walked forward.
When they reached the middle of the corridor, the lights suddenly dimmed with a click.
[Huohuo: Ah ah ah~~~! Grandpa Tail, don't scare me.]
[Tail: Hahahahahaha, coward, you're scared like this just because the lights dimmed a bit.]
"The exact same room..." Firefly whispered.
"Help me, help me! Help me!" A strange sound echoed in the room.
Star was already a bit scared, but she didn't show it, only gripping the bat in her hand more tightly and shielding Firefly behind her.
"Let's keep going."
She chose another door and walked in again.
"It's like this again, no... Could it be...?" Firefly was thinking about something.
Noisy sounds echoed in their ears, distorted and difficult to make out what was being said.
"I told you not to open the box."
New words condensed in the air again, moving in layers as if floating in water.
[We are at our wit's end.]
[Don't let him run away.]
[Don't come over.]
[Save me.]
[Guinaifen: I always have a feeling... like it's haunted... So scary.]
[March 7th: This place is too eerie, it always makes one feel uneasy.]
[Star: Hmph... What's there to be afraid of? It's just a dream! It's normal for anything to happen in a dream.]
[March 7th: Uh, can you please let go of my arm? It hurts.]
March 7th helplessly glanced at Star, who was verbally tough but actually felt the fear herself.
"Hmph... I know," Star let go of March 7th, leaned back on the sofa, and continued to stare at her phone.
In the scene, Star composed herself, pulled Firefly, pushed open another door, and walked through the corridor.
"Let's keep going, be careful."
"Okay."
Ding-a-ling~~~
A sound like an alarm rang in the corridor, then dissipated.
The two walked to the end and pushed open this door.
The sounds in the room became even noisier, as if countless people were speaking in their ears.
"Please, I'm scared!"
[Save me.]
[Come back quickly.]
"The space here feels more and more wrong... Oh no, where did we come in from?"
Firefly was surprised to find that after circling a few times, she was completely lost.
"At this point, we can only grit our teeth and keep going," Star wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked towards another room.
[Save] [Not coming]
"Must save myself."
