C-site pheromone

【01:13:24】

They returned to the competition area again.

The twin sisters just left the second level with a sigh of relief, and they didn't care about any idol airs. They all said in unison that they would take a nap for 10 minutes. They were too tired after being beaten like crazy for half an hour just now.

The two uncles in the cast tried to overtake, but they have not come out after staying in the maze for almost 10 minutes.

After Wen Yaofeng washed his face, he was much more awake. Standing in front of the maze again at this moment, he always felt that he had seen some clue, but he couldn't grasp it.

Bai Chun took out the dim golden ball again, squatted down and swiped his wrist.

The prop clicked pitifully, and it was used as chalk to leave pale white marks on the concrete floor.

"Although the sound is a bit harsh," he said pertinently, "it can be used to memorize terrain."

Wen Yaofeng had a small light bulb on his head, and squatted down to take out the ball, using even more force.

This time, the prop ball in his hand was directly crushed, and the gold paint was rubbed onto the ground.

"Why don't we go back to the second level and get some more?" He casually suggested: "The program crew is not allowed to bring pens and paper, using this is not a foul."

Bai Chun glanced sympathetically at the Greek characters sprayed on the surface of the props, and looked up at the verdant green labyrinth in the distance.

"How about... one of us is at the door, and the other goes forward to report the position, and try to draw the nearby terrain first?"

Wen Yaofeng immediately agreed and walked in by himself.

"First three, turn left."

"it is good."

"The first four, both left and right, I'll turn left first."

"it is good."

"First two, turn left to a dead end, turn right."

"take note of it."

At this moment, he seems to be a chess piece watched by Bai Chun, traveling between the black and white squares of chess.

"Second from the right, go straight."

"Sanchakou."

"Wait." Bai Chun's voice was a little blurred in the distance: "Captain, you go back."

"Back to the starting point?" Wen Yaofeng vaguely felt that he was very close to the exit, looked away reluctantly and said: "How about I go further? Can you still hear my voice?"

"It's not this," Bai Chun said anxiously, "I suddenly thought of something."

"The maze—it might be moving."

Bai Chun underestimated the abnormality of the game at the beginning, he just thought that the program team made the scene a little more complicated, and the level should be cleared after a few more runs.

But the more he painted, the more he felt something was wrong.

When Wen Yaofeng first reported the direction, Bai Chun was able to simultaneously draw a dice-like traveling route on the ground.

But just now, the place where Wen Yaofeng advanced overlaps with the dead corner he drew just now.

This is the convention and exhibition center of Jinhua City, not some magical world.

There can only be one answer——

When Wen Yaofeng walked forward, the walls around him might be moving silently, turning, or even moving in parallel.

Then reconstruct a new maze that does not exist in memory.

Wen Yaofeng turned his head to look in Bai Chun's direction, and immediately turned around: "I'm coming back now."

"Don't walk around," Bai Chun calmed down, "I'll report the direction and the number of steps, and you can walk while paying attention to the nearby wall."

"Back two walls, go left."

"arrive."

"Go back four squares and go to the right."

"arrive."

Wen Yaofeng remembered the road he had traveled here, and his back felt a little numb when he thought of that assumption.

Bai Chun was outside the entrance of the maze, but he felt like he was in the no-man's-land of a horror movie, with the coolness seeping through his bones.

"...Go to the left, back four blocks." Bai Chun compared his memory with the graffiti on the ground, and guided again: "Then there should be another three-way intersection."

"Do not."

"What?" Bai Chun raised his head and heard a voice close at hand: "Isn't there a Sanchakou behind you?"

"It's a dead end." Wen Yaofeng murmured, "I may not be able to get out."

Bai Chun immediately stood up and stepped into the maze without thinking.

"I heard your voice very close," he tapped his knuckles on the wall, constantly confirming his position: "Can you feel it?"

"I'm here," Wen Yaofeng hurried to find the location of the shock, and knocked repeatedly through the wall: "Is it here, are you there?"

"No, no, there is still a wall between me and you."

They speeded up their pace at the same second, knocked on the wall with the back of their hands and knuckles, and spun around in the maze to find each other.

"It's so close, I can hear your footsteps."

"What's going on... It's far away again?!"

Wen Yaofeng inadvertently turned around in a hurry, and cursed: "Fuck, this wall can really move!"

"You shouldn't have come in, now we probably all—"

"Don't worry about it," Bai Chun interrupted, "There should be only a wall between me and you now."

He tapped three times, and there was a clear response from the other side.

"Yes," Wen Yaofeng took a deep breath, "I'm right here."

They raised their hands at the same time without seeing each other, and their palms touched across the same wall.

Wen Yaofeng's heart stopped suddenly, and he sensed Bai Chun's anxiety.

His first reaction was to think it was a hallucination, but he quickly remembered that he had tagged him a few days ago.

It is a rare but present emotional empathy in a marked relationship.

Bai Chun didn't seem to be in a hurry since just now, and he spoke and acted calmly.

Is this empathy... real?

Bai Chun waited for a long time and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Wen Yaofeng was still a little confused, and said for a long time: "How about we stop and exit, and then start again?"

"Wait a moment."

The voice on the other side of the wall became a little strange.

"Wen Yaofeng, tell me about that dog again."

"Dog?" Wen Yaofeng heard him walk away, subconsciously called out: "Hey, don't go."

"It's okay, I can hear you, say it again."

"Dogs have many occupations, one of which is a scent recognition dog, used in drug detection—"

Bai Chun seemed to have walked away, and his voice gradually became weaker: "Not here, let's talk about Yuegui directly."

"Then the dog can smell the disease on Yue Gui." Wen Yaofeng frowned and thought about the details: "What is it called withering disease..."

"Wen Yaofeng," the voice in the distance raised a lot: "Quickly find out if there are any withered leaves nearby!"

The man shivered, and when he looked left and right, he caught a glimpse of yellow amidst the greenery.

"There was—it floated away—"

Bai Chun was already far away from him, and he roared towards him.

"Hurry up!!"

When Wen Yaofeng stepped up to chase the leaf, he suddenly had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and it can even be said to be suddenly enlightened.

Why did they turn around in the maze for two or three 10 minutes without getting to the end?

Because the bay leaves are in a mutual relationship, one cluster after another is endless, so the branches of the maze are also growing dynamically, and there is no fixed exit at all!

In this kind of dynamic maze, it is impossible to rely on strong solutions or spatial memory to get out!

"The leaves that grow with each other will eventually wither", the answer has actually been given at the beginning of the game——

The place where the bay leaves wither is the end of the maze!

At the same time as his footsteps accelerated, the bay leaf seemed to sense something, and it floated faster and faster.

Passing through the streams and wilderness, skimming the tops of the antlers, riding the long wind through the deep and light green, the color changes from light yellow to brown yellow and then to deep yellow, and the plump and bright leaves are gradually weathered.

Wen Yaofeng ran faster and faster, at this moment he couldn't even hear a little bit of Bai Chun's voice.

He crossed the crossroads, circumnavigated the twists and turns, and rushed like a shepherd in mythology chasing the broken and withered leaves.

At the end of the corridor-like Myriad Leaves Wall, Bai Chun suddenly appeared.

"I'm here—" he called out his name loudly: "Bai—chun—"

When Bai Chun was called out, his eyes froze, he nodded vigorously and at the same time quickened his pace again.

The two skeleton-like leaf veins twirled and converged towards the end while disintegrating like sand and dust.

The moment they ran towards each other, the high wall at the central point opened silently.

"Congratulations to the 'Mighty A Invincible Team' for achieving the achievement—[Looking for him in thousands of Baidu]!"

"Congratulations to the 'Mighty A Invincible Team' for achieving the achievement - [The Failure of the Rag King]!"

"Congratulations to 'Meng A Invincible Team' for scoring 21 points!!"

Wen Yaofeng had never been so tired after singing and dancing on the stage before, and he still tried his best not to breathe when he ran in front of Bai Chun.

The latter leaned on the wall to breathe heavily, and he was also extremely tired.

"Fuck," Wen Yaofeng scolded and laughed, "I was really scared just now."

"Pay attention to the image." Bai Chun was still breathing, and he failed when he looked up at him: "Damn, don't laugh like this, the camera is filming."

The kid in the seal suit at the exit waved his fins: "Uncle, are you here to buy something?"

The two stopped talking for a moment, and turned their heads to look at the past together.

A boy dressed as a little white seal stood in front of the booth, like a small boss of a temple fair.

"This is a points store!"

Wen Yaofeng stared at the kid dressed like glutinous rice balls for two seconds, squinted his eyes and said, "Say it again?"

The little white seal looked up at him: "This is Ji—"

Wen Yaofeng reached out and pinched the seal's whiskers: "The last sentence."

"Uncle-brother!! Brother, are you shopping!!!"

Bai Chun came over to take a glass of water and drank it slowly, then raised his hand to look at the score sheet.

They now have a total of more than 60 points, and they don't know what they can exchange for.

Wen Yaofeng squatted in front of the booth with a domineering air, which frightened the seal tails when the children retreated.

"What are you selling here?"

"Sell, sell, sell special items and item cards!" The little white seal was in a panic and was still working hard: "After the exchange, you can use it throughout the first season! You can change it to other games later on!"

What's the meaning?In the future, not only will there be this kind of decryption race, but will there be other types?

"Look at this!" The little white seal picked up a glass box and sold it hard: "This is a cat detector! It has ears and a tail, and it only costs 75 points!"

Wen Yaofeng blinked his eyes, and felt that the little black cat ears were very suitable for Bai Chun.

The neck is thin and white, and with this...

"Cough," he pushed the thought back into his mind and suppressed it, as if he was not interested: "What else?"

"The prop cards are all on the counter, and this!" The little white seal ran over with another glass box in his hands: "Uncle——big brother, you Kangkang! A dog guide, with triangular ears! "

"Pfft..." Bai Chun laughed instantly, "I'll buy one for you to wear, it's pretty cute."

Wen Yaofeng blushed for a second.

"I don't want to wear this!!"
