infinite maze

Mei Ziyi didn't pay attention to the confrontation between the two at all, because in his opinion, since Yun Cishu decided to break up, it must be after careful consideration and no longer has feelings. As for Yin, he is not a normal person at all, probably He thought it was interesting to annoy Yuncishu, so he provoked him like this.

"Let's not talk about the door, I found something at Ashu's house before." Mei Ziyi took out the photo of Axiu and Ashu, and showed the photo to the four of them. Axiu's expression on it changed suddenly. It was a bit strange, it was still a smile, but it turned into a grim smile, revealing a strong sense of gloom.

"At Ashu's house before, I saw a lot of things arranged by Axiu. From the inside to the outside of the house, almost every corner has been decorated with care. This is not something that a person who always wants to leave home would do. "In the former Ashu's house, Mei Ziyi clearly felt the delicacy and care there, even more pleasing to the eye than most other houses in the village.

This is definitely the life attitude of people who understand life and love life, and such people usually have strong self-thinking and clearly know what they want.It has been about two years since Ah Shu's leg was broken. If Ah Xiu wanted to leave, she would never delay it for so long.

Yin took the photo in Mei Ziyi's hand, with a strange expression on her face, "This photo..."

Everyone looked at it, but after waiting for a while, there was nothing to say, so they couldn't help urging, "What's wrong with this photo?"

Yin returned the photo to Mei Ziyi, with a slightly unnatural expression, "It's nothing, I just found that the two are quite a good match."

The four were suspicious, always feeling that Yin was lying, but there was no evidence.

"I still have a question." Taking advantage of everyone's silence, Liu Puzhen said, "Before we came down, the coal boss said that he hoped to see a satisfactory answer in three days. Does this mean that three days is the time limit, and After we get out of the maze, we want to give the coal boss an answer?"

"I also want to ask this question. In the maze, is it really cleared by passing through the gate or the exit of the maze? After clearing the level, will we go back to the real world directly?" Lina, who is also a newcomer, has a similar question.

Mei Ziyi couldn't answer this question, but Yin was absent-minded after seeing the photos, so the answer was naturally Yuncishu.

"As far as the mazes I have cleared in the past, as long as I pass through the exit or the door of the customs clearance, I will be teleported out of the maze and back to the real world. But what I know is only the fur of the maze. Is there any other special situation? It's not good either."

"Can I ask how many mazes you have cleared?" Liu Pu was really cautious.

"This is the ninth time." Yun Cishu didn't hide anything, but his answer was still surprising.

Especially Yin, who was also attracted by this answer, "In this way, your next maze must be a second-order maze."

"What is a second-order maze?" Lina asked curiously.

"This is a long story, and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. If you continue to clear the level, you will naturally know something." Yun Cishu didn't want to continue explaining this, "The most urgent thing is to find the door, a battery for the headlights It can only last for two hours, and the supplies behind the security door should include batteries. We don’t know what is behind the death door, but it is definitely more dangerous than the thing that appeared after turning off the lights.”

Lina and Liu Puzhen had learned about the classification of doors yesterday, and knew that most of the materials and clues should be obtained from the doors.

"Nowadays, if you want to find the door, you can only grope in the dark, but once you turn off the lights, that thing will appear. What we have to do is to grasp the distance from that humanoid thing to us in the dark." Yuncishu said The idea is to move forward by touching the wall by constantly switching on and off the lights.

Considering the psychological quality of the newcomers, the formation remains the same. I and Yin are at the head and tail of the team to deal with emergencies, and the headlights are worn by the person walking at the front.

Although Liu Puzhen had some concerns about handing over his headlights, it was more acceptable than walking in front of the team and colliding with monsters head-on.

After the arrangement was over, the five of them had almost rested, so they continued to move forward in the original formation, but this time, everyone was much more nervous.

"Here we come." Yin reminded in a low voice, raised his hand and turned off the headlight.

Liu Puzhen shuddered reflexively, but the sound of shallow breathing from the front and back quickly made him relax. The mine was pitch black, and this kind of pure ink-like darkness was unique to the underground.

Everyone listened to the movement in the darkness with [-]% vigilance, and at the same time moved forward slowly, fingers slid across the walls on both sides, looking for the gap in the stone gate.

After walking a few steps, the strange whispering sound sounded again, still coming from the depths of the tunnel, the sound continued to expand, accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching rapidly.

Yin didn't turn on the light immediately, but let the thing approach.Behind him was Lina, a rebellious girl with wine-red hair who was more courageous, and Liu Puzhen, who was walking in the middle of the team, began to tremble again.

All four of them held their breath, waiting for Yin to turn on the light.

But one second, two seconds, the team was still advancing slowly, and the dense whispers were also approaching rapidly. Yin's psychological quality was obviously excellent, and he probably wanted to wait for the thing to get close enough to turn on the light.

But when the weird whispering sound rushed in front of the team, there was still no light from the headlights. Even for a moment, even the whispering sound disappeared, and the team continued to move forward slowly.

After walking a short distance like this, the strange whispering voice still didn't sound, and Yin didn't light up the headlamps, but just led the crowd to grope in the dark.

"Why did that voice disappear?" Liu Pu really couldn't stand the silence in the darkness, and asked in a low voice.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the whispering sounded again, and it seemed to be at the front of the team. Liu Puzhen immediately shut up, sweating coldly, thinking whether he had done something wrong.

But after waiting for a while, the whispers disappeared again, and the team became quiet again.

It seems that something is not right, but I don't know what is wrong, this is what everyone thinks.

Lina, who was walking in second place, became more and more nervous, because at some point, the sound of Yin's footsteps in front seemed to disappear. heard.

Although the sound of footsteps disappeared, she could still feel that there was someone in front of her, but there seemed to be a faint odor in the humid air, as if something was rotten.

rot?

For a moment, Lina thought of something, stopped abruptly, then quickly raised her hand, and lit the headlamp above her head.

While seeing the things in front of her clearly, Lina frowned, and Liu Puzhen even screamed and began to back away crazily.

Mei Ziyi also saw the situation in front of the team from the gap between the two. I don't know when it started. It was not Yin who led them to move forward, but a crooked bluish-white corpse. Some places on the corpse had obvious rot , and the clothes were also tattered and hung on the body in flakes.

It seemed to be frightened by the sudden light, a rapid whisper came from its throat, and then disappeared into the depths of the tunnel again at an alarming speed, and Yin disappeared.

Liu Puzhen crouched on the ground, huddled into a ball, and Lina was terrified too, froze and trembling uncontrollably, even if she was courageous, she couldn't remain indifferent to the situation just now.

What happened in that period of time?Why did Yin disappear, and why did the corpse take Yin's place and walk in front of the team?It even took them for a distance. If the lights were not turned on, where did the thing want to lead them?

"Do you still want to turn off the lights and move forward?" Lina asked while shaking her body, and every cell in her body began to reject the darkness by conditioned reflex.

The two newcomers were extremely frightened. Mei Ziyi and Yun Cishu could only stop and think about countermeasures. There would be no gain if they walked with the lights on, but the danger after turning off the lights was still unknown.

"I'll go in front, and Ziyi Palace will be in the back." Yun Cishu passed the three of them, taking Yin's place before.

But Liu Puzhen was extremely uncooperative, still squatting firmly on the ground, "Let's not leave, and don't turn off the lights, just stay here, stay here, maybe the five people who came down from the previous batch will find us Yes! Don't go, don't go!"

Even though I said this, I'm afraid Liu Puzhen himself understands that there is almost no chance of the first five people finding this place.

Lina, who also resisted very much, but was still ready to face the darkness, was so angry when she saw this, she stepped forward and kicked Liu Puzhen, "Hey! You trash, if you don't get up, we will leave by ourselves."

But Liu Puzhen was already terrified, probably only the wall behind him could give him a little sense of security at this time, even if he threatened to abandon him, he couldn't make him give up this little sense of security behind him.

Lina stepped forward, dragged and shoved, tried various methods but failed to pull him up from the ground, and finally sat down beside him in frustration, with a dazed face.

"The first batch of elevators has a short period, and their position is likely to be above us. Do you know what this means?" Mei Ziyi said suddenly.

Liu Puzhen began to think again, and hesitated for a while, "Does it mean that it is easier for them to leave the maze than us?"

Mei Ziyi shook her head, "It means that it is more difficult for them to leave the maze. Remember the maze balance mechanism mentioned earlier? To a certain extent, the obvious unfairness does not exist. The path we walk deeper underground They are all gentle upward slopes, but what they are above us, they are all walking gentle downward slopes."

"Wouldn't it be easier to go down the gentle slope? Isn't it the most tiring for us to go up? I really can't bear it. I haven't killed a chicken since I was a child. I have to turn on the night light when I go to bed at night. The biggest trouble in life is working overtime, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really can't take it." Liu Puzhen started to cry as he spoke, venting his suppressed emotions.

Seeing this, Lina muttered next to her, "It's like someone killed a chicken, and I haven't worked overtime yet, and maybe I won't even experience the joy of overtime in my life."

Liu Puzhen "... Sister, listen to my brother, I really don't enjoy working overtime. Look at my hair, look at my dark circles, look at my acne."

"If you can not go to school, it would be nice to work overtime. My parents divorced when I was a child. I was bullied in school. Later, I dyed my hair, started smoking, tattooed, and burned my arms with cigarette butts. I got two scars, you know? No one dares to bully me anymore, and I even took in two younger brothers." Recalling this, Lina looked a little proud.

"Sister, you are wrong. You have to study hard, get into a good university, and find a good job in the future." Liu Puzhen is obviously the kind of good student who has lived step by step since he was a child. girl.

Lina was silent, and finally nodded, "Do you know? You are the first one to tell me that people are annoying to learn this kind of words. If I can get out of this maze, I will study hard when I go back to school." , get into a good university, find a good job, and work overtime every day just like you.”

Liu Puzhen "..." What happened when he suddenly felt stabbed?

"Why, am I wrong?" Lina looked innocent.

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Puzhen nodded naively immediately.

But after a while, Lina started laughing, "You are such a bully, no wonder you work overtime every day, how can I study hard, I will never study hard in this life, my ideal is to hire more younger brothers , or you will pay some protection fee in the future, sister, I will cover you."

Liu Puzhen realized that he had been cheated, and when he was about to get angry, he saw the scars left by two cigarette butts on Lina's arm.

Lina also realized it, and immediately put her arms behind her back, "What are you looking at! This is my military medal, you know?"
