Sayuri Mitaka was very upset. She felt that Kuranosuke was also strange. He would never say such a lecherous word as "friend of women" before.
Sayuri shook her head gently and lowered her voice: "I also feel strange. She is never so cold." Her eyes unconsciously glanced into the distance. Tian Delina had walked to an open grassland with her back to them, as if observing the mountains in the distance.
The two were discussing in a low voice. Tian Delina seemed to have noticed something. She suddenly turned her head and glanced at them coldly. There was no warmth in her eyes, as if reminding them not to continue this topic. Sayuri immediately shut up, and Kuranosuke also subconsciously took a step back, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Tian Delina didn't say much, but just quickened her pace and walked towards the mountains in the distance. Her back looked particularly indifferent, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance from others.
Xiao Rang quickened his pace and caught up with Tian Delina, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone: "Tian Delina, are you okay? I feel something is wrong with you."
Tian Delina paused slightly, then continued to move forward, her voice cold and emotionless: "I'm fine, don't meddle in my business." There was a bit of impatience in her tone, as if Xiao Rang's concern was a burden.
Xiao Rang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Tian Delina to be so cold.
At this moment, Tian Delina suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked at Xiao Rang, with a bit of complicated emotions in her eyes. Her tone was still indifferent, but there was a slight nervousness in her voice: "I suspect this is an illusion." She paused, her eyes swept across the surrounding grasslands and the mountains in the distance, her brows slightly frowned, "After all, we have been at the competition venue of Lake Otama. According to Captain Dragonfly's habit, we cannot leave the competition venue before the competition is completed."
Xiao Rang's eyes flashed with a trace of shock, and his voice was a bit unbelievable: "Illusionary space and time? You mean... we are now trapped in some kind of illusion?" His brows were deeply frowned, obviously surprised by Tian Delina's speculation.
Kabuda also followed, his mechanical eyes flashing red, and his voice was a bit puzzled: "Kabu! What did Tian Delina say? Kabu!" He obviously didn't hear the conversation just now, but the mechanical arm swung gently, looking particularly uneasy.
Tian Delina ignored Kabuda's questions and took out a map from her pocket. The map detailed the competition venue of Lake Otama and the surrounding terrain. She unfolded the map and carefully compared the surrounding environment, frowning more and more.
"If we are still in Lake Okutama, then this should be the end, right?" Tian Delina whispered to herself, with a little uncertainty in her tone. Her finger gently slid across the map, pointing to a red area, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Sayuri came over and took a look at the map, with a surprised expression on her face. "Is this the end of the game? Does that mean we won?" She whispered, with a little excitement in her tone. Her eyes widened slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, obviously excited about this unexpected discovery.
Kabuda's mechanical eyes rolled around, with a little doubt in his voice: "Kab! I didn't see the Peace Star? Kab! And Scorpion Lailai is here too, how to judge who wins?" His mechanical arm swung gently, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. There was a bit of urgency in his voice, and he was obviously confused about the situation at hand.
At this moment, Scorpion Lailai suddenly ran forward, moving as fast as an agile crab.
Jingui Jiro, who had been staring at him, hurried to catch up.
In the shade of dense forests, a bleak Gothic castle appeared in front of them. The tops of the castle's twin towers were squatting with iron spires twisted into inverted cones, and dark red flags fluttered in the wind. The walls of the castle's main building were covered with ivy that was reflected in dark purple by candlelight. The windows were shaped like empty skull eye sockets, and the main balcony above the main hall was divided into flame-like shapes by lava-patterned iron railings. The surface of the stone wall was intertwined with moss and cracks, as if the copper rust inscriptions embedded next to the old iron door were telling the spell of ancient witchcraft.
Xiaorang looked at the castle in front of him, stunned.
"Is this Super Mario Bros.?"
