Chapter 17 The Slave's Last Words

Fang Cheng looked at the sword for a moment, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, hesitated for a while, and said:

"When I hid under the bed, I didn't see it in the room. There are always a lot of people coming and going here. Maybe someone threw it here when passing by, and it doesn't necessarily mean."

"It may also be an item dropped by someone after death." Oakes guessed maliciously.

Ellie's almond eyes were flushed, and she glared at him fiercely, then put away her dagger, pursed her lips and fell silent.

Xu Yang stepped back a long time ago and stood aside, quietly observing every move of the few people.

"It's too difficult." Yin Chi suddenly sighed and said in a low voice.

At some point, he approached his side, the distance between the two was less than half an inch, and his strong upper arm was almost touching his shoulder.

A steady stream of hot air radiated from him.

Xu Yang was slightly taken aback: "...?"

"Everyone seems to have their own agenda... Did you think so just now, huh?" Yin Chi looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Xu Yang drooped his eyelashes, raised the corners of his lips, nodded, and admitted his guess: "Yes, besides, there is also you, you are also very strange."

Yin Chi coughed lightly: "Me? How can I be counted...in this rank."

"Why can't it be counted?" Xu Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you not a human? Or do you mistakenly think that you look particularly bright and aboveboard?"

Yin Chi said quickly: "I am more handsome than all of them."

"..." Xu Yang refused to answer.

"Of course, except you." Yin Chi added a redundant sentence.

Xu Yang widened his eyes slightly, raised his eyes, and looked at him seriously for a moment.

The person in front of him was strong, with a calm posture, a serious expression, and a terrifying sense of oppression, but now he blinked and looked back at him innocently.

The pupils were as dark as night, glowing with a strange light.

The next second, Xu Yang turned his eyes slightly sideways.

This guy is gay among gays.

It's actually a bit...cute.

"Hey," Oakes yelled to the two whispering, "Let's go, go find that guy's body."

Ellie stared at him, drew out her dagger angrily, and stomped her feet: "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

Xu Yang straightened up and said softly, "Let's move on."

Yin Chi showed a smile: "Okay."

"Hey, no, why are you going..." Fang Cheng stared, and said anxiously, "I'm hiding here, but I don't want to be exposed. Didn't I already say that someone is killing people outside? Why are you so eager to give away the head? I... I'm not leaving."

"Stay on it all the time, how do you pass the customs?" Xu Yang raised his eyebrows and threatened, "The next person who comes here may not have as much food as me, do you want to take a gamble?"

In other words-

Follow me, or starve to death here, your choice.

Fang Cheng struggled for a moment, and couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, just go. Don't regret it later."

"How do you go? Return the same way?" Oakes asked casually, kicking the ground with his toes.

The short Fang Cheng shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's totally possible... I don't know how this maze works... As long as there are no markers left, even if you keep walking through the same door, you can always go to a new place."

Ellie listened to their conversation, but hesitated for a moment.

Seeing her looking like she wanted to say something, Xu Yang asked cooperatively, "Ai Li, what do you think?"

Ellie gritted her teeth with determination: "Let me see if there is an exit there."

As if to cheer herself up, Ellie firmly grasped the blade of the dagger with her hand, then walked a few steps to the side of the dressing table with the mirror, and gently pushed the heavy dressing table.

The seemingly heavy table was pushed away easily by her.

A square opening was revealed in the wall.In the cave, there was a slight swaying firelight.

Ellie's face became paler.

"Why even this..." She swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Xu Yang's heart moved slightly, and he immediately thought of the information she had revealed before: "Ten years ago, there was also this secret passage in your room?"

She nodded with difficulty: "It's really... so strange, I don't know why..."

This room is a replica of Ellie's room ten years ago, and even the most secret and unknown secret passage has also been copied.

"Where does this secret passage lead to? Ten years ago, besides you, who else knew of its existence?" Xu Yang asked two questions in succession.

The answers to these two questions may be crucial to finding clues.

Ellie shook her head and said, "Many people have secret passages like this in their rooms, and they are used to do some private things. It's very common."

Xu Yang raised his eyebrows.

Fang Cheng complained in a low voice: "I'm afraid only you nobles would install such an 'ordinary' secret passage."

Ellie went on to answer Xu Yang's question: "The exit of the secret passage is located in a desolate corner. There are special guards and no one is allowed to enter. Only my husband and I know the existence of the secret passage. He was traveling outside at that time. Stay in the palace for now...my family, we have known each other since then..." She seemed to be recalling something happy, her face flushed.

Xu Yang grasped a certain point, and asked one more question: "Who is guarding this secret passage? You once said that when you were young, you were kidnapped by slaves, right?"

Ellie's face froze and she remained silent.

For some reason, the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

"What, what's going on?" Fang Cheng panicked, "Who is it?"

"Don't worry, there are no other living people here." Yin Chi whispered, "Perhaps, it's a new clue, coming out."

In the dark bedroom, the vanity mirror on the table shone slightly, making it very conspicuous and attracting everyone's attention.

Not long after, a few lines of blood-red hasty handwriting were projected from the mirror into midair——

"My dear princess, when you are lost, please run towards the oxtail, and don't be watched by the gods..."

[You have obtained the key clue [the last words of the female slave], do you want to make it public? 】

【whether】

Xu Yang guessed that Yin Chi, Oakes, and Fang Cheng who were present should have also received this system prompt at the same time.

He chose No, and paused for a while, but he did not see the prompt of other people to announce this clue.

Sure enough, the people in the second copy were much more cautious.

It's also a lot more complicated.

Ellie looked at the line in surprise: "This is what Liz said... She, she died of illness a long time ago, why did she appear here?"

Oakes sneered, and went straight to the scarlet writing without fear.

The dark red and treacherous light projected on him, like blood flowing all over his body, dyeing his blue eyes deep purple.

He directly picked up the mirror, turned it over, and looked at the back of the mirror.

The texture of the bronze carving is nothing special.

Oakes let go of his big hand, and the small hand mirror fell directly to the ground, breaking into several pieces in an instant.

"...O, Oaks?" Ellie exclaimed.

"What are you doing?" Fang Cheng ran over heartbroken, picked up the pieces, tried to put the broken mirror back together, but failed, "What an important prop! You are such a madman!"

Oakes smiled, rolled his eyes happily, and glanced at the few people present: "It's just a waste, why are you nervous?"

Oakes, what a real mad dog.

However, no matter whether he smashed the mirror or not, the key clues had already appeared in front of the few people present.

...at least it's better than no clue at all.

"'My dear princess, when you are lost, please run towards the oxtail, and don't be watched by the gods...'" Xu Yang lowered his eyelashes, repeated softly, and looked at Yin Chi, "The oxtail...Yin Chi, still remember the maze The cow-headed mask in the temple at the bottom? I tried to pick it up, but the system prompted——it’s not mine.”

Corresponding to the head of the ox is the tail of the ox.

If the princess avoids the "gaze of God" and runs towards the oxtail, so that she can no longer get lost, then is the place where the "oxtail" is the exit of this ancient Greek maze?

"Hmm." Yin Chi smiled, "Maybe now, it's time to find the owner of the mask."

Since the mask is still an owner and cannot be picked up by anyone, its owner is obviously active in the maze, and has some kind of high authority, which can control the items in the maze within a certain range.

Even the way the maze works.

Perhaps, he is the final boss of this ancient Greek labyrinth.
