Time passed by, and the pace was ups and downs. The man's absence gradually attracted the attention of Cheng Qian and the two women. They stared at the bald man. The two looked at each other without saying a word. They did not interrupt or speak. Instead, they continued to follow him with frustration as in the beginning.
Under the guidance of Qi, they shuttled through the alleys one after another, but...
After walking for about 10 minutes, the accident happened.
As they walked, Cheng Ying frowned, Peng Hu opened his eyes slightly, Qian Xueling's heart trembled, and the three of them showed surprised expressions almost at the same time, because...
The mummy stopped.
The mummy, which was obviously a spirit body, suddenly stopped and floated. After turning the corner of a corridor, it stopped moving forward without any warning. The result can be imagined. This stop didn't matter. It not only scared Cheng Ying and Qian Xueling to death.
Even Peng Hu, who was lost in his thoughts, was also frightened. The three of them stopped instinctively, tensed instinctively, and were about to respond. Unexpectedly, the matter was not over yet. Next, something even more unexpected happened.
.
As soon as the mummy worm in front stopped, before several people could react, the next moment, the mummy worm disappeared. The other party disappeared in an instant without even looking back, disappearing out of thin air, just like it first appeared.
He appears and disappears inexplicably.
Silence, silence, no words, after a long time...
"What, what's going on?"
Witnessing the strange scene, the three of them were stunned. Qian Xueling couldn't help but blurt out the doubts in her heart. The woman tried to find the answer, but unfortunately no one answered. The reason was that Peng Hu and Cheng Ying were also confused about what was going on.
Even so, after breaking free and regaining consciousness, after a few seconds, as if she thought of something, Cheng Ying, who had been frozen in surprise just now, moved and strode forward towards the corner where the mummy worm disappeared.
Soon, when they arrived at the corner, the professional killer first glanced to the left side of the corner, and then to the right side. The moment his eyes turned to the passage on the right, Cheng Ying's expression changed, and the frown that had been frowned for a long time relaxed, and her face
Kong Yi instantly showed a rare expression of joy!
Because, at this moment, at the corner where Cheng Ying was, the corridor on the right was a dead end, but it was precisely in this seemingly dead end that she found a door, a red room at the end of the passage.
Door!
The red door is exactly the same as the one shown in the video preview.
The exit of this maze that makes people extremely desperate...
Found it!
………
After traveling for a long time, Cheng Ying and the others arrived at a dead end and immediately discovered a red door. At the same time, another part of the maze...
A panting girl and a young man with shaky steps are both stagnant in a certain corridor. If you extend your field of vision and look forward based on the two of them, you will see a unique scene, a scene that is both shocking and surprising.
At this moment, there was a mummy in front of the passage, and behind them were undoubtedly Chen Xiaoyao and Kong Ling, who had been exhausted for a long time. Let’s not mention how the two encountered and how they chose to follow the mummy, nor why the mummy did not attack the two of them. What really happened?
What's strange is that in addition to the two people and the mummy, there are eight additional sheep gathered in front of the alleyway that is the only way to pass, eight identical white sheep!
The sheep gathered in groups and blocked the intersection, blocking the mummies who were leading the way and Kong Chen who was following them.
What happened was not complicated, because they knew that if they continued to stay, they would be trapped alive. After spending the initial rest, under Kong Ling's suggestion, the two left the alleyway and walked through the maze blindly, dragging their tired bodies with them as they did earlier.
Everywhere, an accident happened. Not long after, the two met a hawk on the way and encountered a terrifying mummy hawk with a ferocious appearance.
The mummy appeared out of nowhere without any warning, suddenly appearing in the middle of the alley in an unexpected way.
It's strange to say that if Chen Xiaoyao didn't panic too much because he had seen it with his own eyes before and knew that it would not attack humans, then Kong Ling, who was seeing the worm for the first time, was completely calm as usual, facing the ferocious floating worm.
Things, the girl was not afraid or flinched,
Instead, she immediately started to observe. After observing for a while, the girl became active and asked the young man to follow. So the two of them followed the mummy through the maze. During this period, Taoist Chen naturally asked questions, and Kong Ling gave simple and direct answers, just
Just leave the next sentence:
It's possible to find the exit by following the mummy.
Out of trust in the girl's eyes, Chen Xiaoyao plucked up the courage to follow the mummy worm with him. The mummy worm did indeed stay for a moment and move on its own as before, keeping an eye on the living people following it from beginning to end.
Ignore it.
According to the girl's prediction, if the situation continues to develop, I believe that it won't be long before the two of them are led to the exit of the maze by the mummy. However, what they never expected was...
Just as the two of them followed the mummy for about half an hour, when they passed through a corner alley, the mutation happened again!
Sheep, a group of sheep, ahead, a group of eight pure white sheep appeared out of thin air at the exit of the corridor.
What's even more weird is that since the sheep herd appeared, the sheep have just stopped there, collectively blocking the only way forward, and then blocking the intersection of the alley.
As you can imagine, because the intersection was blocked, the mummy that had been floating slowly to guide the way also stopped moving in an instant, and then stood still in place without moving. Witnessing such a scene, from behind, whether it was Kong Ling or Chen Xiaoyao, the two
Both were shocked!
They couldn't help but be surprised, and they couldn't help being shocked. After all, who could have imagined that something like this would happen? Or maybe they never dreamed that in addition to guiding the road, the sheep also had a second function, blocking the road!
Why?
Where did the sheep come from? Why did they deliberately block the road?
Answer?
Chen Xiaoyao doesn't know, only the empty heart is like a bright mirror!
As mentioned above, because Kong Ling is a smart girl, and because of her eyes, she is different from Chen Xiaoyao. At least she knows the true identity of the sheep and what is hidden under the seemingly cute appearance of the sheep. Seeing this scene, the girl just
I was stunned, and immediately understood the intention of the sheep. What was the intention? You can tell it at a glance just from the stagnant mummy...
The sheep are blocking the door, deliberately preventing the enforcer from approaching the exit!
Time passes by minute by second, and the status declines bit by bit.
"Baa, baa, baa!"
Listening to the occasional noise of sheep, right in front of the corridor, eight sheep gathered motionless at the exit. They seemed to pose no threat to people, but the problem was that even if the sheep did nothing, they were still enough to effectively kill the executor, because
Time, and time is precisely the best natural accomplice.
First of all, you must understand that 7 hours have passed since the executor entered the maze. During these 7 hours, everyone moved frequently and shuttled back and forth, forcing the search without eating or drinking. As you can imagine, the physical energy was consumed in the process.
How big is it, and how much energy is consumed, so to speak,
The same is true in reality. As time goes by, the executors of the spreading maze gradually become weak and sluggish. Among them, He Fei fell into a coma due to excessive use of his brain and energy. In this case, if time continues to pass, no matter how
The sheep continue to block the road, and what outcome awaits the two of them.
For now, Kong Ling is okay. Since she has eaten some food not long ago, although she is physically exhausted at this moment, she is at least still awake. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaoyao is very different. Yes, when she meets Kong Ling
He was already in a state of mental and physical exhaustion due to long-term exercise. In the young man's own words,
Even his IQ and reaction ability have dropped significantly, and his mind is in chaos. Not to mention his judgment ability is also not as good as before. In addition, he spent a lot of energy following the mummy for a long time. In fact, Chen Xiaoyao's current state
Extremely bad, almost the same as He Fei on the other side, even close to the critical point of fainting!
Therefore, he is dying and will not be able to hold on as time passes by!
"Hoo, ho..."
In the alleyway, watching the sheep blocking the road opposite, Chen Xiaoyao's breath was dissipated and chaotic, and he was leaning against the wall with a sluggish expression as if his soul was wandering. He had lost the ability to think, so he naturally faced the sheep blocking the road.
, the burden of analyzing and breaking the situation was all placed on Kong Ling's weak body.
As for the ethereal...
Knowing that the young ruffian who had become a dead dog had nothing to rely on, the girl took the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden. At this moment, suppressing the tiredness of her body, Kong Ling was observing, observing the flock of sheep blocking the road with a solemn gaze while thinking quickly.
What.
(Based on initial observations and past encounters, it can be concluded that neither the mummy hawk nor the sheep will actively attack humans. Although this is difficult to understand, it is not the focus for now. The focus is how to solve it?
There is no denying that Chen Pizi and I could have passed by the sheep, but unfortunately it was pointless. The mummies were stagnant and there were no mummies.
The wolf is responsible for leading the way. Even if we can bypass the sheep and escape from the alley, we still can't find the exit of the maze on our own. And that's exactly where the problem lies. The mummy wolf seems to be unable to get too close to the sheep due to some restrictions.
That’s why it stopped moving when the passage was blocked, and the mummy itself didn’t know how to take a detour. Damn it, damn it, is it just stuck here like this?)
(Is there a solution? Is there a way to keep the mummy hawk moving and leading the way? No, that’s not right. It’s not that the mummy hawk doesn’t want to move forward, but the front...)
There is no doubt that Kong Ling has guessed the answer. Not only has he guessed the intentions of the sheep, but he also has a rough understanding of the respective mechanisms between the sheep and the mummies. Indeed, the group in front of them is made of giant slugs.
The sheep clone that comes out has no threat to the executor, but it can prevent the mummy from advancing, and the mummy is the only option that can lead the executor to the real exit.
, so, the results came out, the real intention of the sheep was not to block the executor, but to block the mummy hawk, deliberately blocking the intersection and forcing the mummy hawk to stop moving. The stop of the mummy hawk's movement means that it has lost its ability to guide the way. Once the guiding function is lost, the executor can only
Forced to give up following and forced to leave. Once the executor gives up following and looks for another way, will the executor be able to find the exit?
The answer must be no. Since there is absolutely no way out, the final outcome waiting for Kong Ling and Chen Xiaoyao will be death, being trapped alive as time passes by!
This is an unsolvable question, an unsolvable test question that will lead to the death of two people.
Indeed, with her special eyes, Kong Ling can see through the false exit created by the giant dragon face and avoid stepping into the death trap, but the problem is... Even so, what if she has the ability to avoid the trap? In the final analysis, it is treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
If she doesn't get out of the maze before she starves to death as soon as possible, she will still face a dead end, and this is the real horror of this supernatural mission!
The road-blocking brigade consisting of eight sheep is currently on the road that must be passed. Due to some restrictions, the mummy can't get too close to the sheep, so it can only be blocked and unable to move. Although the enforcer can bypass the sheep and go alone
I can't find the exit of the maze on my own...
In the end, a dead end was formed, a fatal situation that made people frightened and desperate!
what does that mean?
This means that time is running out. If we don't come up with a solution as soon as possible, both Kong Ling and Chen Xiaoyao will die and be trapped alive in this huge maze full of despair!
………
The current situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable to the executors. In the alleyway, the sheep are crossing the path that the mummies must pass. The mummies interrupt their progress. Chen Xiaoyao becomes confused and weak, while Kong Ling endures the fatigue and racks his brains. In the passage of time,
I spent a lot of time thinking hard and trying to find a solution.
"Hoo, ho, ho."
Tick tock.
During the silence and rapid breathing, a drop of crystal sweat caused by excessive exhaustion and excessive anxiety fell from the girl's forehead to the ground. She stared at the sheep blocking the exit ten meters away, and then glanced at the silence in front of her for a long time.
During the thought process, the girl's expression kept changing, sometimes green, sometimes white, sometimes white, sometimes green, from anxiety to solemnity, and finally from solemnity to determination.
She gritted her teeth with a ferocious expression, and then she moved. She moved her legs and walked forward as if she had made some determination, and walked straight towards the sheep!
That's right, she had just made a decision when there was really no other way. The decision was very simple, that is, to drive away the sheep. She would use external force and human contact to drive the sheep away.
It is true that Kong Ling knew that the sheep were transformed from the faces of scary mandarins, but she also knew that the sheep would not take the initiative to attack the executor. So, after some consideration, Kong Ling decided to take a gamble, betting that the executor would not attack the sheep even if he took the initiative to contact them.
Under attack!
Of course, the above argument seems reasonable, but in fact the risk is huge, otherwise the girl would never use the word "gamble" to describe it. And similarly, since it is gambling, she must bear the catastrophic consequences of failure. The reason
It can be said to be simple, that is, uncertainty,
Even if the sheep will not take the initiative to attack the executor, who can guarantee what the consequences will be if the executor actively contacts or attacks the sheep? What if the executor's initiative to contact the sheep happens to be the switch that triggers the sheep to attack? What should we do then?
One can imagine what will happen to Kong Ling.
The above principles had already been thought through in Kong Ling's mind when she made the decision, so she defined what she was about to do as desperate gambling. She could have avoided gambling because she was afraid of death, but unfortunately the reality prompted her to
She had to take the risk. Staying where she was was not an option after all. Although doing nothing would delay death, the final result would not change. In other words, there were only two ways to go before her, either take the initiative and move forward.
Take a gamble by driving the sheep, or stay where you are until you are trapped alive.
Thinking of this, Kong Ling made up her mind. She had made up her mind and just strode forward without saying a word!
Can……
I thought the gambling was about to begin, but unexpectedly, at this moment, an accident happened, something that surprised the girl.
Snap.
The arm stretched out from behind and the five fingers clasped the wrist tightly. Just when the cute girl was about to take off and move her legs, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and firmly grabbed the girl's wrist. Through the touch, Kong Ling noticed a hint of
The strange thing is that although the owner of the palm caught her, his strength was quite insufficient.
Looking back, I saw that the person who stopped him was none other than Chen Xiaoyao, who was on the verge of collapse due to excessive exhaustion!
At some point, the young man who was still confused earlier seemed to wake up a little. When he woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was the girl's stride approaching. Sure enough, he noticed the girl's movements, even though his brain was not very clear now, but
The young man still understood the other party's plan, so without thinking, Taoist Chen reached out decisively and grabbed the girl at the critical moment.
Let's get back to the topic, at this moment, facing the ethereal gaze, feeling the girl's puzzled gaze, and being so tired that he couldn't even straighten his waist, Chen Xiaoyao began to pant. After a moment of breathing, his pale face forced out a hint of what he thought was extremely handsome.
With a smile that was extremely ugly in the eyes of others, he grinned and then said something to the girl:
"Hoo, ho, Miss Kong Ling, I really admire you. Your earlier predictions are very likely to be accurate. I, Chen Xiaoyao, may really die in this mission. Of course, these are not important. The important thing is
There's something I have to do. Hey, with me as a man, I can't let you, a weak girl, take risks. What's more, I can't help but do it if the price is equal. Okay, stand back and let Pindao do it.
Scatter the sheep!"
For the always smart Kong Ling, the girl understood the meaning of Chen Xiaoyao's words instantly.
There is no doubt that the plan of the arrogant young man is reasonable. As mentioned above, the executor takes the initiative to contact the sheep without knowing whether he will be attacked. If he is attacked, the contact will have a slim chance of survival. Once Kong Ling dies,
Then the consequences will be devastating. Since Chen Xiaoyao's physical fitness and energy are at their lowest point, after Kong Ling dies, even if the sheep don't attack,
Chen Xiaoyao, who had never come into contact with them but was almost incapacitated, was still dead. After all, judging from his current state, he no longer had the energy to think much, and he also had the physical strength to continue moving forward. In this case, what is the best way to deal with it?
It is the best and reasonable choice to switch positions and let him, a half-dead man, be the test subject. This is both reasonable and highly equivalent.
Yes, let him, Chen Xiaoyao, be the experimental subject for driving the sheep. If the sheep are successfully driven away, and Kong Ling is there, the other party can help him continue to follow the mummy to the exit. There is still hope of survival by then, to say the least.
, even if the experiment fails, even if
It doesn't matter if he is killed by a sheep. Kong Ling, who has far more physical strength and energy than himself, can at least think of another way and still have hope of survival. This is the most reasonable way that Chen Xiaoyao came up with through careful calculation. Therefore, he wants to replace Kong Ling.
, driving the sheep instead of the girl!
"Chen Rizi, you..."
Her state of mind changed drastically at this moment, and her thoughts were filled with emotion at this moment. After figuring out the meaning of the young man's words, unknowingly, Kong Ling's eyes towards Chen Xiaoyao gradually changed. In addition to being obviously surprised, the girl's cute face became more...
Most of them were surprised, shocked, and even unbelievable. She couldn't understand it for a moment. It was difficult to understand why the other party would do this? Or is there really such a person in the world? Listening to the meaning of Chen Xiaoyao's words just now, although the other party can't talk about giving up.
Being a human being is actually still an extremely unfavorable decision for young people. This arrangement is reasonable and cost-effective, but the question is... isn't he afraid of death? Is there really such a kind of initiative among human beings to take risks?
The person in myself? Isn’t human nature dark and dirty? Ordinary people would rather die together than sacrifice themselves for the majority. This is true human nature. Unexpectedly, the person named Chen Xiaoyao in front of me
Guy...
Perhaps he vaguely guessed something from the astonished eyes of the girl in front of him. He gritted his teeth and straightened up with difficulty. After taking a deep breath, Taoist Chen smiled and said, "What's wrong? Don't look at me with that look, okay?
?To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that you, a little girl, are so valuable to our team, I would not take the initiative to take on this life-and-death situation anyway.
A dangerous mission, hehe, it seems that the prophecy you told me on the train is about to come true. Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Let’s just talk about your value. Through observation, with your eyes, you
The value is basically not inferior to mine. Being able to exchange my half-dead life for your continued survival is not a loss overall, not to mention that I may not die."
"call."
At this point, he took a long breath, paused, and the young man's face condensed slightly and his expression changed: "Of course, nothing is absolute. If, I mean if, if the experiment fails later and I am killed by a sheep, then you have to remember
Stay here, don’t collect my body for me, stand up
Just turn around and leave. I don’t believe that there is only one mummy worm that leads the way in the maze, and you have to find other mummies as soon as possible while you still have the strength to get out of the maze. Do you understand? Okay, I’ve finished what I need to say.
, that being the case, then..."
"Aha!"
It was too late to say, but it was so fast. Just when Chen Xiaoyao had just finished speaking, and before the girl could react, like lightning, like a violent storm, in the next moment, Chen Xiaoyao moved, just like that.
He suddenly let out a loud shout and rushed forward decisively, using up his last strength to run straight towards the flock of sheep in front of him!!!
