Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 451 - 444: An Unconventional Choice

"Damn it!"

Su Ran hadn’t expected that under such a critical situation, the boss could still strike back. Due to the close proximity, Su Ran couldn’t dodge in time and could only just barely block the menacing poison arrow with his shield. Yet, Su Ran had underestimated the power of the poison arrow and the force from its impact sent him flying.

"Whoosh!"

Having executed a successful move, the Blood-red Illusionary Lizard, like an eel, swiftly slipped into the entrance to the second level underground. It was incredible that the lizard with such a large body could squeeze itself inside. Upon seeing this, even Su Ran in reality felt a chill in his stomach.

Well then, all that hustle for nothing.

After replenishing his Qi Blood, and re-summoning five Undead skeletons, Su Ran prepared to journey to the second level. As per the old routine, Su Ran directed the Dark Bone Bear to carefully descend to the second level to scout for enemy threats, so they could be prepared for any danger in advance.

However, before the Bear’s feet touched the ground, a gust of wind suddenly rushed at them from behind, heading straight for the Dark Bone Bear’s skull.

Even so, the Dark Bone Bear was under Su Ran’s control, not the system’s. He wouldn’t let the Bear take this unknown attack head-on. As he was mentally prepared for this, he controlled the Bear to crouch sharply. A green arrow immediately hit thin air and exploded against the wall, creating a burst of green fireworks.

Su Ran controlled the Bear to land. He quickly looked around, but didn’t see the Blood-Red Illusionary Lizard. Only a golden treasure chest was visible on the ground.

"Damn it, it’s gone invisible again! I need to act fast, this creature can recover Qi Blood when it’s invisible!"

Su Ran first glanced at the golden chest for a few moments, then led the five summoned skeletons into the second level underground. However, just as they reached the ground, there was a clang from above, and Su Ran was once again trapped in a small space.

With no time to hesitate, Su Ran activated Break Invisibility and planned to find the cunning lizard. Yet, even after checking all around, he couldn’t find the lizard. Su Ran concluded that the Bronze Boss had already hidden on the other side.

Su Ran controlled the five summoned skeletons to go first, with the Dark Bone Bear following, and marched towards the treasure chest. He didn’t know what danger awaited him on this level. This method of movement was cautious but somewhat safe.

"Boom Boom Boom!"

However, as they reached the center of the level, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared, knocking over all the skeletons in front and halting Su Ran’s advancing.

Next, the barrier suddenly radiated a dazzling light, forming two paths. The ground of each path held two illusionary words. The left side read "Truth" and the right side read "False".

The two newly formed paths each had a key. For the Truth path, a golden key was hovering above, while for the False path, only a bronze key could be seen.

"Good grief, now I have to make a choice?"

Su Ran didn’t expect the system to pull this trick, which caught him completely off guard. It posed a dilemma for those suffering from decision paralysis. Who knows if they could handle such a challenge?

"Truth? Golden key, gold chest; False? Bronze key, gold chest."

Su Ran repeated the words, sensing that there was a mystery. Normally, walking the Truth path and obtaining a golden key could open the gold chest without any issues. However, why would the system set up a False path? Moreover, a bronze key couldn’t open a gold chest, and Su Ran didn’t understand what the system’s intention was.

A choice between two...

Su Ran couldn’t be bothered with the Blood-Red Illusionary Lizard, who was currently recovering its blood. The Boss was no threat to him, even if it had fully recovered! As long as it didn’t bother him, it didn’t matter if he killed it sooner or later. Here, he was the only player. No one was fighting over the monster with him.

As for which choice to make, Su Ran was deep in thought. It was a simple question that even elementary school students could answer, yet Su Ran didn’t dare to. Deep down, he knew that the system wouldn’t be so nice as to give him an easy question. The gold chest not far away was, of course, very valuable. But he didn’t believe the system would generously hand it over to him, and he didn’t harbor any unrealistic hope either.

As for the False path, Su Ran was quite inclined towards it. However, he was unsure about the significance of the bronze key, which couldn’t open the gold chest, and he became hesitant.

There was another possibility. The system intentionally made it so because it had a deep understanding of the human psyche and was deliberately enticing players towards the False path, but the Truth path was actually the real one. This situation may seem highly unlikely, but it could occur.

The more Su Ran daydreamed, the more he thought about it. Right now, he really wanted to scold the bastard who set up this stage, as he was puzzled and unable to move forward.

Truth, False...

The two possibilities were like heaven and hell, leaving Su Ran wandering on the edge, struggling.

Wait?!

Wait a minute, two possibilities, two choices, I have a double!

Su Ran suddenly woke up, and his thoughts cleared quite a bit. He thought he’d almost fallen into the system’s trap. With only two options for this stage, he didn’t have to abide by the rules and could entirely make his own way!

After understanding this, Su Ran commanded the Dark Bone Bear to enter the Truth path, while his own avatar entered the False path, which had a rather high possibility of being passable.

"Whoosh Whoosh!"

Just as Su Ran and his double simultaneously entered the path, the entrance behind them was instantly overrun by a light curtain. It seemed that Su Ran and his double couldn’t retreat any longer and had to move forward.

The path Su Ran was taking was quite unusual. One wrong step, and he might fail the mission. Su Ran was fully aware of the risks of his actions, so he proceeded with caution and tried to keep his movements in sync with his double. Even though the two paths were short, it took Su Ran two minutes to traverse them. freёwebnoѵel.com

Finally.

Su Ran and his double, the Bone Bear had arrived in front of their respective keys. The Bone Bear was faced with a breathtaking golden key, whereas the key Su Ran chose was a worthless bronze one.

"Now!"

Having made up his mind, Su Ran and the Bone Bear reached for the key in front of them at the same time.
