After Qiu Yu's words, the warrior of the forest fantasy who originally felt a little safer because he entered here was shaken again.

No matter what your attitude or views toward the organization, you must maintain the honorable appearance of an organization member in front of outsiders, but among organization members, many things cannot be hidden.

When the robots were doubtful about the organization's behavior, so were the other forest fantasy warriors. It's not that they can't think of some things, but that they don't want to think about them because they are powerless. Anyway, in the worst case scenario, they never worried that the organization would kill them or push them to a dead end.

You know, death here is not like in the real world where you can kill people and silence them. Once an organization dares to do this, unless it is a behemoth like the creator company or the government, which can easily suppress adverse information, otherwise the reputation of the organization will be ruined. Even if it is not a fatal blow, it will definitely be affected to a considerable extent.

Therefore, from the perspective of the soldiers in the forest loop, this operation was a little more strange and they knew a little less, but these alone were far from enough to cause them to disobey the organization's orders.

But Qiu Yu's seemingly irrelevant words made their hearts ache every time.

"This is the street."

A solid passage can really only make people think of its combat value in normal times, but once the consciousness extends outside the passage, it becomes the center wrapped in the uneasiness called the unknown.

"It's okay, even if they want to attack us, it's not their mission."

Qiu Yu's reassuring words to the bear people, the warriors in the forest fantasy understood, it was simply saying that there was danger here while ignoring their own existence. So if I walked on this street with them without knowing anything, I couldn't be completely sure that I wouldn't be implicated. Thinking further, the danger in this strange area does not only come from humans.

"Some people have spent so much time. It would be too wasteful to just build a murder trap, but just to gather people above the sergeant level in this core location that should be completely sealed off... The only reasonable explanation is that they don't want us to be Kill the three-eyed monster... But if that's the case, the best solution is for them to kill us first, and this is contradictory to the actual situation..."

If the uneasiness in the first two sentences was imagined by the forest fantasy warrior himself, this sentence nakedly brings everyone together. Concentrate people with non-commissioned officers and above... Putting aside the difference between outsiders and organization members, aren't everyone here above non-commissioned officers? Since the organization completely opened this underground city, it has paid special attention to people above non-commissioned officers, and then deliberately concentrated them in this place. If it were a confidential operation with profit, there would be no way to bring in people who don't know the details. So no matter how you think about it, nothing good can happen. And it is this kind of action that is absolutely useless. People in the organization are actually randomly arranged with outsiders. It is really hard to think of a reason not to worry.

"We can't be killed by the three-eyed monster, but we can't... at least they can't kill us now, probably because we still have value. So there must be an answer waiting for us that is equivalent to our use value. Compared with It’s better to guess and listen to it yourself.”

Qiu Yu's words alone may not seem like much, but combined with the previous content, it seems to be directly saying to the ears of the forest fantasy warrior that everyone here is being used. If you don't believe it, wait until you get to the destination. Go and prove it yourself.

Now that the words have come to this, the people in Forest Fantasy don't even have the space or even the will to ask. All they can do is follow Qiu Yu with three parts of doubt, six parts of uneasiness and one part of dizziness. Run quickly behind a few people.

For Qiuyu, controlling the thoughts of the forest fantasy warrior is not the purpose, but just a side effect to verify his speculation. After confirming that they were indeed part of the scheme, he stopped paying attention to them. After all, the threat around you does not exist. It can also be understood that the threat in the distance will be greater, and the things to worry about have not been reduced at all.

"Huh?"

The flying Qiu Yu suddenly slowed down.

None of the people in Forest Fantasy, including the robots, had a detailed understanding of Qiu Yu's behavioral patterns, so when they saw Qiu Yu slowing down, they just subconsciously slowed down.

The Bear Man and the Mayfly are not very clear about it. They can make Qiu Yu emit a voice with question marks. It is not surprising at all that thousands of three-eyed demons suddenly appear in front of them. Almost as soon as Qiu Yu appeared abnormal, the two of them immediately got into a fighting posture... no, to be precise, it was a defensive posture.

A few seconds later, the two people who had not felt the attack saw that Qiu Yu was still advancing at normal speed. Under the dumbfounded gaze of the forest fantasy warriors, the two people quickly put away their exaggerated shields and turtle shell-like walls, as if nothing had happened. He followed closely behind Qiu Yu. Only the bear man's questioning voice could prove that the scene that just appeared was not an illusion.

"What did you think of just now?"

"I didn't think of anything, I saw it." Qiu Yu paused and turned his head to look at the silent robot, "I always thought there should be only one road near here, but I didn't expect that there would be a fork in the road."

"I don't know if there is any fork in the road here. At least I haven't found it when I checked this place before. It may be the reason why we didn't go so far into the place."

The robot's speech had no cadence, and there was no expression on his face that people could judge, but through previous contact, it was enough for Qiuyu to judge whether he was lying from the way the words were combined.

The bear man looked forward for a while. Because the surroundings were monotonous scenery without reference objects, it was difficult to see where the fork in the road Qiu Yu mentioned was. "Is it normal for there to be a fork in the road? The place we came from is just a transfer of a small area. There should be many transfer points connected to here in this vast underground city."

"A lot?" Qiu Yu shook his head expressionlessly, "If it's a lot, how many do you think is appropriate?"

"Judging from the size of the visual area, there are about twenty or thirty places. If we refer to the space of the ground city to calculate hundreds of places, it is possible."

"Oh." After walking a little further, Qiu Yu raised his hand and pointed forward, "Then count how many forked roads there are here."

"This is……"

The bear man was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

Just now he was sure that he had looked carefully and did not find the so-called forked roads, but now following Qiu Yu's fingers, the entire passage was filled with densely intertwined forked roads like a child scribbling.

They don't appear suddenly, they are always there. Even at a distance of tens of meters, the bears are still not aware of it. The undifferentiated metal walls around them are one reason, but another bigger reason is that the current passage is like the trunk of a tree, with only countless holes inserted. The center of the fork in the road. So instead of the other passages around it being forks, it would be better to say that they are all portals opened on this passage that lead to unknown places.

"In addition to the solid cage, is there another complicated maze waiting for us ahead?"

A ball of plastic fungus on Mayfly's hand transformed into a fluorescent powder-filled object. With his slightly relaxed tone and this behavior, he seemed to be better at dealing with mazes than cages.

The Bear Man said, "If it is a maze, it should be more complicated. If we go straight down the current passage, wouldn't the forked roads around it have no meaning at all?"

"Maybe this is a trap." Mayfly continued after thinking for a while, "If people walk with their eyes closed, they will never be able to walk in a straight line. The passage here is long enough. It is possible that we think we are always moving straight. But I’ve long been turned away by this place.”

"This is not a problem. Even if we are led to a detour, as long as we do not enter other forks, it will only waste time in going around in a circle. It is impossible to get lost inexplicably. And there is no way out in the first place, so there is no point in letting us get lost." The bear man believed My own judgment, but the confidence to speak is still somewhat insufficient.

"Didn't your boss say anything?"

The target of Qiuyu's question this time is not the robot, but all the forest fantasy warriors.

"If you continue walking along here..." The answer was still from the robot.

"Keep going? Does that mean you don't know anything?"

"..."

The robot responded with silence. What was a strong divergence from him was the noisy exchanges among other people who were dreaming about the deep forest.

The bear man simply complained, "It's getting worse."

"It's not too bad. At least we can confirm that the passages here have some other functions besides preventing people from running around. From this point of view, these forked roads are not something that deliberately causes trouble for us."

Qiu Yu continued to fly forward, not even turning his head to take a glance as he passed through the passages on both sides.

"What do they do?"

The bear man couldn't be as indifferent as Qiu Yu. Every time he passed a passage, he had to quickly turn his head to check whether it was safe, for fear that something would suddenly come out of the blind spot of his sight. Of course, he was not the only one who did this, but everyone in Mayfly and Forest Fantasy did the same.

"I did guess a few possibilities, but..." Qiu Yu's small face was full of anxiety, "But none of them are what you want to hear, so it's better not to talk nonsense."

"What you say makes me even more..."

The bear-man suddenly stopped mid-sentence. At the same time, the robot suddenly stared straight ahead, shouting words that made the atmosphere stagnant along with the alarm sound on its body.

"Something's coming."
