The result is undoubted. Both He Fei and Zhao Ping are smart people. For smart people, many things are obvious at a glance. At this moment, witnessing the sheep turning around, the two of them can certainly detect the meaning in its movements, so the two of them hesitated.
Under a certain ups and downs of ambivalence, they looked at each other without saying a word.
Yes, just like what was just described, the two of them had already been interested in the sheep's movements since they saw it. After all, they had not found the exit no matter how they walked for more than half an hour earlier. Unexpectedly, a rather ordinary sheep appeared now.
The humane sheep signaled the two to follow. As expected, once they choose to follow, the sheep will most likely lead the two to the exit.
Seeing this, some people may be confused, wondering why He and Zhao both hesitated. Yes, they have already guessed that following the sheep is very likely to find the exit, so why don't they follow immediately instead of hesitating?
The answer is very simple, so simple that it can be described in just two words, that is...
unknown!
Even if it is possible for the sheep to lead them to the exit, it is only possible but not absolute. In addition, the identity of the sheep itself is suspicious. Therefore, who can guarantee where the sheep will end up after following the sheep all the way?
but……
But then again, even if they weren't followed, could the two of them find the exit in this giant maze?
The answer is obviously impossible. The maze is too big and too complicated. After some fumbling through it earlier and the inexplicable disappearance of the written marks, the two have now realized that blindly walking through it is not an option. The possibility of finding the exit in this way is almost unlimited.
It was close to zero, so after hesitating for a few seconds, the two people, who were neither fools, reached a consensus on this, nodded to each other, and immediately set off to move forward, raising their feet and following the sheep decisively while it was still out of sight.
While walking around, Zhao Ping reminded: "Listen, there is no need to touch or get too close. You and I can just follow from a distance."
Hearing this, He Fei, who had similar thoughts, nodded subconsciously and replied: "I know, let's follow the sheep for now and see where the sheep goes, and then adapt accordingly."
………
The roads are winding and the alleys are well developed. The whole place is white and the light is sufficient. The environment is clear even without lights, and the intricate linking passages are clearly visible. This place is a maze, a building named Annar.
A huge complex maze.
The screen shifted and the field of view extended. At this moment, in a corner of the maze, a bald man wearing a black vest was looking on guard. The bald man was holding a short-handled machete in a guarded posture, staring fiercely ahead.
There was a girl with short hair sitting a few meters away.
The girl has a beautiful appearance, fashionable clothes, and wears black riding boots. However, the girl also holds a dagger in her hand to remain on guard, staring at the strong man with murderous eyes.
The two sides faced each other without saying a word, and their nerves were extremely tense.
Finally, after a moment of confrontation, as if they had agreed, the two sides started a series of inexplicable exchanges.
"What is my usual drink?"
"milk tea!"
"Then it's my turn to ask you. Even though I'm wearing this outfit now, what I wear on the train is different. Let me ask you, what kind of clothes do I usually wear on the train?"
"This is what you wore on the train."
"Phew! Looks like we're both fine."
There was no reason, no reason. As the conversation between the two ended, the tense atmosphere disappeared instantly. The two people who were originally on guard put away their weapons and relieved the tension. The bald man took a deep breath of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
It then returned to normal.
There is no doubt that the man and woman who are currently here are not other people. They are Peng Hu and Cheng Ying who happened to meet while exploring the maze a minute ago. Remembering He Fei's reminder before getting off the car, the two of them immediately met each other.
Instead of showing any joy, they both put on a defensive posture. It wasn't until they each raised the issue and confirmed each other's identities that they finally let go.
Getting back to business, after confirming their identities, the two of them recounted their earlier experiences one after another. They said they were reporting their experiences, but in fact there was nothing much to say. Their personal experiences before they met were basically the same. In fact, both Peng Hu and Cheng
Sakura, the two of them have been in a state of groping since they appeared in the maze, blindly traveling without a clue.
Yes, this maze named Annar is not only huge, but the internal route is too complicated. Countless walls are criss-crossing, and countless lanes are linked to each other, thus forming many confusing maze paths. In the past hour,
The two of them have been groping through this all-white maze. Of course, remembering He Fei's instructions, in order not to be confused by the maze that looks the same everywhere, they expected to
Both of them had made marks before, but the strange thing was that whether it was Peng Hu who drew circles on the wall with a carbon pen or Cheng Ying who used a dagger to carve marks on the wall, even if they were clear and obvious, they would eventually disappear on their own after a short time.
Disappear, the result of this is that the executor cannot find the mark. The absence of mark is equivalent to losing perception. From beginning to end, he is wrapped in a sense of confusion of not knowing where he is, until it develops into fear!
Fear, fear, the more you walk aimlessly, the more panic you get, and the more you walk, the more frightened you become, and the frightenedness undoubtedly comes from the disappearance of the marks. Yes, since the marks on the wall can disappear on their own, doesn't it mean that there are indeed worms in the maze?
Want to know what other things besides worms can silently erase marks?
"...I was just like you. When I returned to the marked location in my memory, I found that the mark had disappeared. So I used a dagger to scratch it, but unfortunately it still didn't work. After a while, the mark still disappeared inexplicably."
When Peng Hu narrated his own experience, the girl's face became more nervous, and her eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time during the conversation. Obviously, as a professional killer, it is impossible for a girl to not pay attention to what is going on around her, and she searched for him for up to an hour.
Before the exit, an ordinary person would already be restless.
, but Cheng Ying is different. She is calm, calm, and on the highest alert. Once there is any trouble, she is able to take corresponding measures just by her voice. In other words, for Cheng Ying at this moment, she can be nervous, uneasy, or even desperate.
But no matter what, you will never let down your guard.
As for Peng Hu...
His state was very different from Cheng Ying's. Because his temper was a bit irritable, although he was thoughtful, when he had been in this confusing maze with passages everywhere for a long time, the bald man gradually became exhausted and gradually
When Peng became irritable, in fact, Peng
It is completely normal for Tiger to have such a reaction. After all, it is difficult for anyone who has not been immersed in the situation to understand how boring it is to shuttle endlessly in a dead space and how tortured one's will is. If it is just like this, don't forget the maze.
There is also a high probability that there is a hawk hidden inside.
A murderous slug with unknown abilities, how can it not make people scared when all these things are added up? How can it not make people afraid? In scientific terms, it can be understood as a symptom of environmental depression. Yes, let’s ask if there is no exit in a place where there is no exit.
It also demonstrates the dangerous complexity
How many people in the maze can be as calm as a mountain? Even if he is a soldier, he is very courageous, even if his psychological quality is extremely good. As time goes by, Peng Hu gradually cannot stand it anymore. Fortunately, he met Cheng Ying at the last moment, otherwise he would really
I wonder what the bald man will do.
"The Mahler Desert looks the same wherever you go, with white walls, white corners, and white dead ends. I've been walking for an hour, but the surroundings are still similar. Oh my god, the red door is actually there.
Where! Grass!"
Listening to the strong man in front of her grumbling, Cheng Ying felt the same, but she did not speak or agree. She just turned around without saying a word and looked at a certain three-pronged passage behind. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, Peng Hu had already raised his hand to clap.
He patted the girl on the shoulder and shook his head to remind: "Don't look, I walked through that three-pronged passage not long ago. If you go forward, you will circle back here. If you go left, you will end in a dead end. If you go right, you will also circle back to the starting point.
"
After saying that, Peng Hu paused for a moment, then pointed to a longer corridor on the right and suggested: "Let's try this road. In my personal impression, it seems that this is the only road that I have not traveled."
It is true to say so, but when the strong man spoke, his tone obviously contained a little helplessness, as if he had already been discouraged and had no hope. After hearing this, Cheng Ying instinctively turned around and looked to the right in the direction pointed by the other party.
Side channel, complex expression during gaze, indeed, due to the initial encounter
She was almost the same as the bald man. Even though the other party deliberately reminded her, she did not have high hopes for the new passage. She did not deny that the hope was not high, but the question was, so what if the hope was not high? Is it possible to stay where she is? Instead of
It would be more practical to choose a channel and continue walking.
"Let's go."
Helplessly glanced at the passage, Cheng Ying moved, with a trying attitude, she greeted Peng Hu and then took the lead to move. At this point, the two people who met by chance walked together, walking along the alley, in this intricate
Walking endlessly through the huge maze, then...
"ah!!!"
Who would have thought that after less than 3 minutes of walking back and forth, a series of women’s exclamations suddenly broke the silence and reached the eardrums!
Sure enough, the screams came out. In the alleyway, Cheng Ying, who was already wary of crossing, instantly felt her heart high and her nerves tense. She and Peng Hu both stopped and looked around. Because there were too many alleyways and the environment was complicated, even though the screams were clear, two people could hear them at once.
People still cannot determine the specific location of the sound. They can only conclude from the loudness of the sound that the owner of the sound is relatively close.
As an aside, it stands to reason that when encountering an unexpected situation in a place full of unknown dangers, the best way to deal with it is to retreat immediately and run away decisively. After all, many horror movies have this kind of routine. The monster often makes sounds to attract people before attacking.
Curious people came closer to check, and finally fell into the trap and were killed by the monster in despair.
The above routine is very common in horror movies, and Peng Hu and Cheng Ying are not as easy to fall into the trap as the idiot characters in the movie. Not only will they not fall into the trap, in fact, as soon as they hear the scream, neither Peng Hu nor Cheng
Sakura and the two of them, in addition to being on guard first, also had their first reaction to run away, stay away, and escape from this place as quickly as possible to avoid danger.
but……
The idea of escape did not last long. In fact, as soon as it appeared in their minds, it disappeared without a trace the next moment.
Next, the two of them looked at each other, and each saw surprise, panic, and extremely rare worry and frustration in the other's pupils.
The reason is simple, because the woman who screamed just now is very familiar to the two of them.
Qian Xueling!
If the voice on the other side was unfamiliar, they would definitely ignore it, but the reality is that the voice was obviously familiar, so familiar that both of them could instantly identify the owner of the voice. Qian Xueling, who else could it be if it wasn't Qian Xueling? Even if it wasn't Qian Xueling,
To rule out the possibility of locust traps, you can...
What if it’s not a trap?
What if Qian Xueling is really in danger? Will they ignore it? Will they let Qian Xueling die like this?
Trouble came over my heart, and hesitation enveloped my whole body.
After hesitating for a moment and clenching his teeth, Cheng Ying made a decision and first told Peng Hu: "Let's go and have a look. Remember to stay vigilant at all times and run away immediately if you find anything strange."
So, keeping their nerves tense, the two of them took action. Under the leadership of Cheng Ying, they followed the sound and approached with vigilance, and walked into the right alleyway together.
………
Although they could only move in the direction of the sound by feeling, the distance was not too far away. Finally, after some careful walking, the two found their target and found a person at a two-way corner on the road. They found the person huddled up.
Qian Xueling is trembling in the corner!
"Sister Xueling!"
"Sister Qian!"
As mentioned above, seeing the woman here and confirming that the other party was alive, the two called out each other's name in unison. Peng Hu was even more hurried and strode forward to try to get closer. There was no denying that the bald man looked happy and instinctively approached, but as soon as he started to move, he was already
Cheng Ying quickly grabbed hold with quick eyes and hands!
Seeing this, the bald man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant.
What does it mean? The meaning is extremely simple, that is, be cautious. Many times, your eyes may not necessarily be trustworthy, just like He Fei’s thought-provoking words before getting off the car:
What is imaginary is real, what is real is imaginary, what you see in your eyes is different, what you see in your field of vision is half true and false.
As expected, under the strong restraint of the girl, Peng Hu suddenly woke up, nodded, suppressed his emotions and began to think. He thought for a few seconds, and then the man patted his head and asked Qian Xueling: "Well, what are you studying?
Sister Ling, let me ask you a question, what did I wear when I returned to the train from the mission world last time?"
As the saying goes, we have known each other well after getting along for a long time. Let's not talk about what Peng Cheng and the two were thinking. On the opposite side, they noticed someone appeared and saw that they were familiar. Qian Xueling, who was curled up in the corner and shivering, was overjoyed and wanted to open her mouth.
Shouted, but when she saw Cheng Ying stopping her, and when she heard Peng Hu's question, the beautiful lady understood and instantly understood what the other party meant.
That is true, and it is also true. At this moment, listening to Peng Hu's question, Qian Xueling immediately replied without hesitation: "Brother Peng, you were wearing a prison uniform for a reform-through-labor prisoner when you returned to the train last time."
"You can't be wrong, you are such a beautiful girl! By the way, in order to make all of us feel at ease, you can also ask us a question."
5 minutes later…
"My situation is similar to yours. I was initially transported to a criss-crossing maze intersection. I was the only one on the scene. After confirming that the communicator and mobile phone signals were blocked, I started to make marks on the wall. The marks were obvious, but strange
No matter how many marks I make along the way, the marks will disappear on their own after a while when I look back."
Having said this, suppressing her inner panic, Qian Xueling paused for a moment. It was not until Peng and Cheng both showed similar expressions that the woman continued to narrate as if she had realized something, and told everything that happened next without reservation.
:
"Although I was scared after the mark disappeared, at least I wasn't scared to the point of screaming. The main reason that really caused me to scream was...well, about seven or eight minutes ago, when I was messing around in the maze
While walking through, when I happened to pass a corner of a corridor, I encountered a hawk!"
"And the place of encounter is at the corner where you two first found me!"
What!
As soon as Qian Xueling said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed. Cheng Ying tensed up her nerves instantly, and Peng Hu trembled on the spot. Not only that, the two of them subconsciously turned their heads to look around in panic.
After scanning for a moment, Cheng Ying frowned slightly and opened her mouth to catch up: "Sister Xueling, what are you talking about..."
Faced with the girl's questioning, Qian Xueling remained noncommittal and continued with a frightened expression: "It's a cockroach. I can 100% guarantee that that thing is a cockroach, something that looks very much like a mummy. Although it's impossible to tell the gender of a man or woman.
You can tell the identity of the other party just from floating in the air. There is no doubt that it is a real worm, and the mummy was
The worm just appeared out of thin air, right in front of the alley I was walking on. It was so sudden that I was completely unprepared for it. I screamed on the spot and fell to the ground with weak legs. It can be said that even myself at that time
Everyone thought I was dead this time. After all, the worm was right in front of me, and it would be easy for the other party to kill me. However..."
"Unexpectedly, just when I collapsed in despair and curled up waiting to die, after waiting for a long time, I didn't die."
"The mummy didn't attack me. I looked up and saw that the opponent was still stuck in the same place, still suspended in the air without any movement for a long time. It took a full minute before the mummy could move. The opponent did not float towards my position, but went straight.
It slowly floated away towards another corridor, and then the thing just disappeared into the passage and lost its trace."
The above is a series of Qian Xueling's earlier encounters. Everything she said is true and there is no falsehood at all. Although this is true, in fact, she is still confused and confused until now. She cannot figure out what happened before. As for Peng
Tiger and Cheng Ying...
Their reactions were almost the same. After hearing the narration, the two looked at each other with shock on their faces and confusion on their faces. Their overall appearance was not much different from Qian Xueling's.
Yes, at this moment, the two of them were stunned, and their faces were frozen in confusion, as if they were in a daze. It was not because they reacted exaggeratedly, but because Qian Xueling's narrative just now was too unbelievable, which actually caused the two of them to fight.
What Qian Xueling also couldn't figure out was not the existence of worms in the unexplained maze. After all, everyone had confirmed in advance that it was impossible for the supernatural mission not to contain worms before entering the mission. Therefore, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Qian Xueling were all confused.
Confused or even unexpected is...
Why?
Why don't locusts attack humans when they encounter them?
Although the abilities of the worms are all kinds of strange, the executors know very well the cruel and murderous nature of these worms. Unless they are unable to do anything, the worms have never been spared when they encounter a living person. If this is the case, then, then
The really puzzling part arises, that is, not only did the mummy encounter the living Qian Xueling before,
People, and Qian Xueling also lost the ability to move due to temporary fear, and props are prohibited due to rules. If the mummy is planning to kill someone, Qian Xueling will definitely die. Unexpectedly, the strange thing is that here, the mummy did not take action or attack.
He didn't even get close, he just stayed there for a minute and then left inexplicably?
this……
This somewhat subverts the executor’s previous worldview.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Peng Hu turned from shock to curiosity. He raised his hand slightly, touched the stubble on his chin, and asked Cheng and Qian in a tentative tone: "I feel something is wrong. This matter is a bit illogical, right?"
Bar?"
As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, Cheng Ying immediately cast a look of disdain: "It's nonsense, it's more than a little bit."
Like the bald man, after asking about Qian Xueling's account, Cheng Ying also tried to analyze the hidden secrets, but because the worldview was overturned too completely, she failed. No matter how she guessed, she could not get a reasonable explanation, and the result was disastrous.
As you can imagine, Cheng Ying couldn't analyze it, and Qian Xueling and Peng Hu also tried hard to no avail. No one could find a reasonable answer, and the three of them collectively fell into an unprecedented level of suspicion and consternation.
.
(Don't attack when encountering a living person, and even stay in front of a living person for a full minute before leaving?)
Answer?
Can't guess, can't find it.
Since the answer cannot be found in a short time, it is impossible for the three of them to stay in one place for a long time. Don't forget that several of them are currently on a supernatural mission, and no experienced person thinks that staying in one place is a good idea. After all, they
We still need to find an exit, and we still need to do everything we can to
After finding the red door, after confirming that Qian Xueling's strange experience could not be explained in any way, Cheng Ying gave up the investigation and then told the two people in front of her: "Since we can't analyze it, let's put the problem aside for now.
, currently the top priority is still to find exports.”
After Cheng Ying finished speaking, Peng Hu nodded, then turned to Qian Xueling and said: "Yes, I think so too. Then, sister Xueling, just follow us. The three of us will explore the maze together. Anyway, this is
This mission has no time limit, I don’t believe it yet, as long as I don’t starve to death or thirst to death, I will always find an exit even if I wander blindly throughout the whole process!”
These words were obviously meant to encourage myself and everyone present, and the words were full of pride. Who would have thought that these words would be spoken, especially after hearing the words 'no time limit', for some reason, maybe
Out of women's unique intuition, the two women couldn't help but frown.
As mentioned above, with attention and concentration, the three of them set off together and continued moving forward, but...
Just as the three of them were passing through the alleyway and then groping along the right fork...
"What!"
The sound came out, and an alternative sound that was obviously different from human voices came from behind, ringing around in an instant and reaching the eardrums in the blink of an eye.
