infinite maze

Mei Ziyi inexplicably remembered the once-popular confession technique of holding a guitar and singing love songs outside your window in the middle of the night, but she didn’t know what it would be like when someone knelt outside your window in the middle of the night and offered incense to you.

A little baffling, but also a little chills down the spine, this is how Mei Ziyi feels now.

The old lady burning incense in the courtyard looked particularly weird under the moonlight, which was completely different from the feeling she had when she was having dinner.She was kneeling on the ground at this time, and the faint cry was intermittent, until the three incense sticks were burned, the old man stood up from the ground, and looked at the room where Mei Ziyi lived with a creepy look of expectation. bedroom.

"Old man, do you mean the boss or the second will come back tomorrow?" The old lady asked her husband who had just come out of the house without turning her head.

"Everyone is good, everyone is good." The old man had a smile on his face, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

The old couple's conversation ended here, the incense had been burned, and the two returned to the house, and the small courtyard became quiet again.

"Now that you're out, let's go around the village." Yun Cishu suggested, "I think we all have a lot of questions to ask."

The two got up from the bushes where they were hiding, and walked in a direction.

Mei Ziyi has regained her composure from the initial uneasiness. After thinking for a while, she spoke first, "Will there be such a situation of not entering the maze on the first day in the previous themed maze?"

For a long time, Yuncishu did not respond.

"Why, is this question difficult?" Mei Ziyi asked doubtfully.

Yun Cishu shook his head, "No, I just didn't expect your first question to be this, I thought..."

It goes without saying why, Yun Cishu thought that Mei Ziyi would ask why he broke up and why he was in the maze. If it was these questions, it meant that he still cared about him.

Mei Ziyi was also silent for a moment before she opened her mouth, "Actually, I wanted to ask, but I didn't think it was necessary. No matter what the reason is, it shows that our ideas are very different, and we are not suitable for each other. Why don't we ask more practical questions."

Yuncishu felt as if he had been splashed with cold water in the twelfth lunar month, panicked and unable to do anything.In fact, he should have been prepared long ago. After all, he is Mei Ziyi, with a strong ability to control emotions, and he is extremely calm after one of the few out-of-control situations.

"There are usually two situations when entering the maze. One is to enter directly. In this case, the players will be scattered in the maze. The other is to transport the players through transportation as today. The two situations are completely random. No one has figured out the rules yet." Yun Cishu knew that he couldn't pursue and fight fiercely at this time, otherwise he might not see Mei Ziyi in the future.

"Staying in the village is not simple. It should be a prerequisite for entering the maze. The maze will not arrange meaningless plots. Every word you hear may be a clue. NPCs will not lie in most cases. Finding the key and the door to clear the level is the key to clearing the level."

"What about the maze exit? I remember that you don't need a key if you leave from the exit."

"The number of maze exits will decrease as the difficulty of the maze increases, and the location is not fixed and will change over time. It is a matter of luck."

Yuncishu explained some common laws of the maze, and after thinking about it, he added, "In addition, in reality, it is best to have less contact with family and friends. Some people speculate that the maze is contagious. We are now like stones dropped into a lake. The distance The closer we get, the deeper the impact."

"That's why you broke up with me?" Not long after the breakup, Mei Ziyi understood that Yun Cishu's failure to explain was just letting the breakup happen.

"Hmm." Yun Cishu showed a tangled face, "I just didn't expect you to enter the maze. There are many intuitive or hidden rules in the maze. I can't explain them clearly for a while. I will explain them to you later. Now let’s talk about the balance mechanism that I talked about during the day.”

"The so-called balance mechanism is that the maze is designed to limit the death rate of passers-by to 50% and trigger the gate of the pass. The maze is like a huge yin-yang balance body. We living people are yang, and those ghosts and monsters are yin. If the number of living people decreases , Yin Qi will gradually become stronger, and intuitively speaking, every time a player dies, there will be a random additional chaser in the door in the maze, and the risk of opening the door will be higher."

"Is this also the case with the basic maze?" Meizi recalled a calm basic maze.

Yun Cishu understood in an instant that Mei Ziyi entered the maze for the second time, and the previous maze was the basic maze, "This balance is applicable to any maze, and in the later stage, when the yin reaches a certain level, the chaser will push away by himself." The door is open."

Hearing this, Mei Ziyi finally understood where the vague uneasiness in the previous basic maze came from, "There are no clues to collect in the basic maze, so the only trigger condition for the door to pass is death?"

"No, the clue in the basic maze is the clearer itself. For newcomers, more than 50% of the newcomers gather in one place to trigger the door to clear the level, and the newcomers themselves are also the key. But if there is a guide, for the guide For those who are newcomers, only when the clearance rate of newcomers reaches 50% can they get the key to pass through the gate, and that Yin is the guide of Ziyi."

"Well, he is very strong." After Yuncishu's explanation, everything seemed much simpler.Because of these balance mechanisms, Yin will lead everyone to find the door to clear the level after the newcomers gather, and guide them through most of the dangers, but I don't know if Yin will continue to stay after the newcomers' clearance rate reaches 50%. Come down and protect the newcomer.

"Although he has an extreme personality, his spirit doesn't look very good, he's rather cunning, he looks average, and his smile is fake..."

Before Yun Cishu could finish speaking, Mei Ziyi couldn't help laughing out. Among other things, Yin's appearance was still very durable.

Yun Cishu was also a little embarrassed, and then concluded, "But he is very suitable for the maze."

"It's the first time I've heard you speak ill of others." Mei Ziyi said with emotion.

"I'm just telling the truth." Yun Cishu defended, "The front is Ah Shu's home."

Looking up, he saw the lamp in front of Ah Shu's house. Even the bugs flying around couldn't block the light of the lamp. In the dark night, it was as bright as a scorching star.

"Perhaps Ah Shu specially left it for Ah Xiu. Ah Shu is waiting for his wife to come home." Yun Cishu glanced at Mei Ziyi again as he spoke.

Mei Ziyi didn't seem to understand his pun, and continued to chat about her speculations and discoveries, raising some questions from time to time.

The two walked around the village in this way, and met several other people who were investigating the village. After communicating with each other, they found that all the passers-by lived in the room of the mine disaster victim, and incense ash was left outside the window.

As for the tree in the prompt, they also inquired with the villagers, and the result was similar to what the village chief said, and nothing special was found.

Considering that they will go to the mine the next day, if there is no accident, the mine is the home of the labyrinth. In order to save their energy, everyone plans to go back to the house where they are staying, but where to sleep is still a problem.

"Go back to sleep. It doesn't matter if we are in the house or not, otherwise we will at least check the people in the bedroom when burning incense." Yun Cishu suggested, and it's up to them whether to listen or not.

Yuncishu sent Mei Ziyi to the door, and put his hand on Mei Ziyi's shoulder, "The labyrinth world is full of dangers, even if it violates some principles, I hope you can live."

"If there is no principle, what's the point of living?" Mei Ziyi said helplessly, "Look, we actually have many disagreements."

In the end, Yuncishu didn't continue to say anything, but only showed a gentle smile that made people feel comfortable physically and mentally, and then patted Mei Ziyi on the head.

Mei Ziyi suddenly remembered that the two had disagreements, and when she said Yun Cishu was helpless, Yun Cishu would pat him on the head like this, and said with a smile that children are very stubborn, what should I do when I am old?

Back in the bedroom, the smell of burning incense seemed to be wafting out of the window. She had a good night's sleep and woke up to the sound of cocks crowing in the morning.

When passing by Ah Shu's house, he found that Ah Shu was chopping firewood, and the light at the door was still on. "Ashu, did you forget to turn off the light?"

Standing outside the wooden fence door, Meizi pointed to the top of her head.

"I'm just afraid that I might forget to open it at night." Ah Shu stopped chopping wood, the crutch in his hand supported his body, and his empty trousers fluttered in the morning wind.
