"Stop, stop, stop! You really know how to make excuses for yourself, and you still have the nerve to say you didn't bully me? Let me ask you, what if you just met not me but that bald uncle, and he happened to be carrying Food, do you still have the guts to step forward and grab it? Speak? Why don't you say anything? Huh, no matter how you excuse it, you can't hide the fact that you bully the small! Damn it, you didn't leave any for me. , ate them all!”
Feeling a little guilty, the young coffee man hurriedly explained. Unexpectedly, before he finished his words, Kong Ling already refused to refute him on the spot. He immediately asked and attacked him like a barrage of questions. The above refutations were truly heart-breaking, and he was able to refute them in an instant. Wu Junyou was speechless. Indeed, after discovering that the other party was just a weak girl, he had indeed taken advantage of the girl's inability to resist before robbing food unscrupulously. Now that the other party's words revealed his feelings, what else could Wu Junyou say? However, thinking that he was too hungry at the beginning, the young man immediately felt relieved. Yes, the maze was too big, big enough to trap people for a long time. Who knows if he could still get out of the maze? To put it bluntly, even if we can find an exit sooner or later, wouldn't it be unfair if we starve to death before we find the exit? .
As the saying goes, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Only by filling your stomach can you have the strength to continue looking for an exit and the hope of survival. So, along with some self-comfort, after figuring out the key points, it was confirmed that there were only two people at the scene: myself and the girl. Behind the scenes, Wu Junyou's expression gradually changed. The face that was full of embarrassment before was quickly covered with frost. He showed disdain for the weak girl in front of him with a careless attitude, while Leng Ruohanshuang curled her lips and replied: "Huh, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Even if you are angry that I snatched your food, what can you do to me? Could it be that you can still make me spit it out? By the way, don't forget that not long ago you You even used small steel balls to trick me and Qiao Kaidi. If we hadn't been lucky, we might have been tricked to death by you. Taking your food this time can only be regarded as retribution, and we are even, so you There is no need to embarrass me. If you piss me off, believe it or not, I will settle the old and new accounts together now, and then I will beat you up..."
"What!"
The scene immediately fell silent, and the threat immediately shut up. Just when Wu Junyou showed his disdain and threatened the girl, an unexpected sound occurred. An animal cry that was obviously different from human beings echoed around him in an instant, interrupting the words and coming straight in. eardrum.
………
The sound appeared suddenly, and his body shook in vain. Wu Junyou was caught off guard and was startled on the spot. He hurriedly turned around to observe, and there was Kong Ling along with him.
Xun Sheng turned around and looked behind him, at the location where the sound came from. The next moment, the two of them were stunned at the same time.
Because, as I looked back, the first thing I saw was a sheep.
Ten meters ahead, in the middle of the intersection, a lovely pure white sheep stood motionless.
"What!"
As if to confirm that he was indeed a sheep, sensing the gazes of the two men, the sheep raised its furry head and squawked again. It was not until the squeal reached the eardrums for the second time that Wu Junyou and Kong Ling were able to escape from their astonishment. Before the girl could speak, Wu Junyou raised his hand and rubbed his eyes first. While rubbing his eyes, he blurted out in an unbelievable tone: "Sheep? A sheep?"
Wu Junyou is indeed very timid, which can be easily seen from the pessimism he has maintained for a long time since he boarded the train. He is extremely afraid of locusts, and the earlier pursuit of locusts left a huge psychological shadow on him. Because of this , that’s why he is afraid of supernatural missions and the undead souls that appear unexpectedly during missions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. However, being afraid of tigers does not mean that he will be afraid of a non-threatening sheep, even if the sheep appears unexpectedly. And it was also inconsistent with the scene environment, but in fact, since it was confirmed that the visitor was just a sheep, Wu Junyou did not show much fear. Instead, he looked surprised and mostly incredulous.
As for the ethereal...
Similar to Wu Junyou, when the girl first saw the sheep, her first reaction was almost the same as that of the young man. She had the same look of surprise and suspicion. However, the above reaction did not last long. It was different from Wu Junyou's continuous shock. It could even be said that it was different from other girls. All executors react differently when they first encounter sheep.
After staring at the sheep for a moment, the girl made a move.
He stood up quietly with his hands on the ground, and then slowly closed his eyes.
No one knows why the girl closed her eyes, and no one knows what her intention was. The only thing that is known is that after staring at the sheep for a moment, the girl frowned slightly, and then she closed her eyes in silence and remained silent.
Time passed by second by second, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.
until……
When 10 seconds passed, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, reopened her eyelids, and then revealed her inner pupils.
However, what is different from the previous time is that when the girl opens her eyes again, if you observe carefully, you will find that the pupils have changed. The black pupils originally located in the middle of the eyes have completely turned into white, transforming into full-body white pupils that are almost the same as the whites of the surrounding eyes. Pure white!
Not only that, in addition to the pupils turning white, the whites around the eyes were also filled with bloodshot eyes the moment they opened their eyes!
Then……
Tick tock, tick tock.
Blood dripped out, red streaked across it, and the strange eyes stared straight ahead, with white pupils staring at the sheep. During the staring process, the eye sockets began to bleed, and tears slowly flowed out. For a while, two lines of blood overflowed from the eye sockets across the face and dripped to the ground. .
The ethereal appearance at this moment was very frightening. If anyone around looked at her, no matter who it was, they would be shocked. Unfortunately, no one saw or noticed her. Wu Junyou, who was close at hand, was also not noticed, because the young man had already been noticed by others. Things attract attention, and the eyes are fixed on the opposite sheep from beginning to end.
Seeing this, the question arises, that is, what did Kong Ling see?
What kind of scene did the girl see in the strangely changing eyes?
The answer is...
As the eyes reopened, blood and tears flowed down. After a pair of strange eyes were revealed, directly in front of the field of vision, what cute sheep came into view first? replaced by……
A human face! ! !
There is no torso or limbs, no head, just a face, a strange white face, an abrupt face with no discernible gender, and at the same time, a hideous face that keeps smiling from beginning to end! What a smile this is. Under the pale paper face is a blood-red lip. The lips are slightly raised and curved upward like a clown. The eyes above the bridge of the nose are also curved into a crescent shape. At this moment, The face just floated out of thin air, facing forward, staring at the other side with an extremely weird smile, staring at Kong Ling and Wu Junyou!
clatter……
After fully seeing the scene opposite, Kong Ling's body trembled, and then he subconsciously took a step back.
"Hoo, ho, ho."
Somehow, maybe due to some reasons, after seeing the true form of the sheep, in addition to instinctive fear, the girl trembled slightly and panted, showing an obvious look of exhaustion. Upon noticing this, the girl quickly closed her eyes. After a few seconds, When her eyes opened, the originally weird eyes returned to their normal state. She was said to be back to normal, but in fact, she was still tired at this moment, as if she had just finished a long-distance run. There was sweat on her forehead, and her breathing was slightly slow. rapid.
As for the opposite side, similarly, when the girl's eyes recovered, when looking ahead, the ferocious human face from earlier also transformed into a sheep again, a cute sheep that is harmless to humans and animals.
The above description may seem cumbersome, but in fact it is a short process. From the initial change of eyes staring at the truth to the sudden feeling of exhaustion and hurried closing of the eyes, the whole process lasts only ten seconds. Let’s get back to the topic, accompanied by fear sweeping through, mixed with panting, and vision. As soon as he recovered, Kong Ling raised his hand to wipe away the blood and tears on his face like lightning. Coincidentally, just as the girl was wiping off the blood stains, Wu Junyou, who had been observing the sheep for a long time, happened to turn around and asked in an inquiring tone: "Well, what should we do?"
Obviously, facing the incomprehensible environment, the young man lost his sense of proportion. He didn't know what to do. In desperation, he instinctively asked his companions. Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked, Kong Ling did not answer immediately, but remained silent. Continuing to stare at the sheep in front of her for a long time, the girl turned around and said an extremely cold word to Wu Junyou: "Don't ask me, I don't know what to do."
"What!"
As soon as Kong Ling finished speaking, the sheep suddenly moved. The sheep that had been silent for a long time also turned around and moved slowly, walking straight towards an alleyway on the right. When turning around, the sheep turned back and called out to the two of them, Seeing this, I believe that no matter how poor their understanding ability is, they can clearly see the sheep's intentions. Yes, the other party is signaling, greeting, and clearly indicating that the two of them should follow him!
Um?
Seeing this, although Wu Junyou is timid and afraid of hawks, he is a college student majoring in veterinary medicine after all. He understands the habits of animals better than ordinary people after all, and he naturally understands the meaning of the sheep. As expected, seeing the sheep clearly giving a signal, He did not show the slightest doubt. On the contrary, he showed joy after a slight lag. Yes, as just described, although he did not know where the sheep appeared from, he who studied veterinary medicine still clearly knew that the animals were somewhere. These aspects are indeed better than humans. It seems that the sheep is most likely familiar with the maze layout. If you choose to follow the sheep and follow the movement, doesn't it mean that you have a great hope of finding the exit of the maze! ?
The above is Wu Junyou's personal understanding of the sheep's behavior. It is said to be true, and it is also true in reality. As the saying goes, just do it when you think of it. After quickly figuring out the sheep's meaning, the young man was instantly overjoyed, and he hurriedly followed him, but...
Seemingly aware of it, after taking a few steps, the young man turned around and urged Kong Ling, who was still staying in the same place behind him: "Hey, why are you still there? Don't you see what the sheep mean? Why don't you hurry up and follow the sheep? Walk?"
With some confusion, Wu Junyou urged and asked, but unexpectedly, even though his tone was anxious and urgent, Kong Ling behind him never moved a step from beginning to end, and just replied casually: "I won't follow, I plan to Staying where you are and waiting for the seniors, if you want to follow the sheep then just follow.”
"What? You won't leave!?"
Upon hearing the girl's answer, Wu Junyou, who was about to turn around and leave, was confused. After all, the current situation was very clear. Only by following the sheep could we hope to escape from the maze. This was obviously a great thing, but unexpectedly the other party Not leaving? what happened? Could it be that you just broke your brain when you fell down?
Sure enough, when Kong Ling refused and shook his head decisively, Wu Junyou frowned and gave a final reminder: "Are you sure you don't want to leave? There won't be that store after passing this village."
At the end of his words, Wu Junyou could be said to be clear and strong. Unexpectedly, he was still unmoved but continued to shake his head. Seeing this, he turned around and glanced at the sheep behind him that was about to go away. Without any nonsense, the young man immediately raised his feet and left without saying a word. Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at the girl with an idiot look.
There is no doubt that Wu Junyou has concluded that the girl is a fool. The opportunity to escape from the maze is clearly in front of him, but the other party chooses to give up. What is such a behavior but a fool? Forget it, it's not like I'm being stupid anyway. If the other party wants to be trapped alive, then just let him stay where he is. As long as he can escape from the maze, that's enough.
Cursing the other party secretly, Wu Junyou turned around and walked in Bumoji, hurrying to catch up with the sheep, and then...
For some reason, just as the young man followed Sheep Nai further and further away and was about to disappear around the corner, from behind, Kong Ling, who always had a calm face, suddenly said:
"Are you sure you want to follow that sheep?"
The plain voice slowly floated into Wu Junyou's ears, but unfortunately it only made the young man pause for a second. Then, he ignored the suggestion and the voice. Wu Junyou, who had already judged the girl as a fool, ignored it and just ignored it. Hui continued to walk, and after a while, as his footsteps got further and further away, finally, one person and one sheep disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Plop.
After confirming that the sheep had completely left, before the intersection, Kong Ling's heart that had been holding it dropped. It was as if he had just finished a long-distance run. After relaxing, his body was weak, and his body suddenly shook. He instantly collapsed on the ground and panted heavily, as if The previous change of eyes had consumed a lot of her physical energy, but at this moment she was indeed panting and recuperating frequently. It was said that she was resting, but in fact she had not rested for too long. Only one minute passed, only one minute of silence, and not long after, the girl suddenly felt... Thinking of something important, he stood up on his hands and knees and gritted his teeth. He then forced himself out of fatigue and walked away, heading straight towards a certain alleyway in panic.
………
The maze mission is in progress, 5 hours later.
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
The roads are endless, and the lanes are full of dazzling scenery, mixed with a series of chaotic footsteps and bursts of heavy breathing. If you look closely, you will find a wave of teams, a wave of strange walking teams.
In the alleyway, a sheep was moving slowly in the front row, followed by three humans, three panting and tired humans.
Leaving aside the sheep, if you look carefully, you will find that the three people all look familiar and eye-catching. They are none other than He Fei, Zhao Ping and Qiao Kedi who have been following them for a long time.
As mentioned earlier, at this moment, in a certain lane of the maze, He Fei, Zhao Ping, and Qiao Kedi, who happened to meet and joined the team not long ago, are following the sheep, walking up and down along the maze passage. There is no denying that they are following. It had a certain purpose, but the result was far beyond expectations.
After walking and following for a long time, almost half a day passed. Unexpectedly, the sheep kept moving for a long time. From the beginning to the end, they did not lead many people to find the exit. During this period, the three of them just followed the sheep in front of them and kept walking through the criss-crossing maze of lanes. As a result, some inevitable serious consequences will occur.
As time goes by, the energy consumption of the three people increases, and the sense of physical fatigue and hunger becomes stronger. After all, people are not machines. A normal person will often rest and eat as time goes on even if he does nothing. What's more, the three of them have been on the move for more than 5 hours. The result can be imagined. At this moment, whether it is He Fei, Zhao Ping or Qiao Kedi, the three of them are extremely exhausted and urgently need to rest. Even so, it can be said that However, the sheep never stopped. Seeing this, the three of them had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue to follow.
Of course, the three of them were not empty-headed and thinking about nothing during the walk, especially for He Fei. It can even be said that his brain never stopped functioning and never took a break for several hours. Through observing along the way, After guessing all the way, the young man did analyze many suspicious clues.
(Sheep, sheep, the thing that leads the way does indeed look like a sheep, and there is absolutely nothing about it that is different from ordinary sheep, including the way it walks and the sound of its chirping. It looks like this on the surface, but in fact there are still many unreasonable things. For example, why aren’t sheep tired after walking for so long? Why don’t they show any sign of fatigue?)
(As expected, the physical energy of sheep should be infinite. However, the problem is that once the physical energy is infinite, doesn’t it mean that the sheep is not a real sheep. This violates the natural laws of biology. From this, a basic conclusion can be drawn. Then The thing that looks like a sheep in front of me is actually not a real sheep. If it is not, then what is this thing? A wolf? No, if the other party is really a wolf disguised as a wolf, how can it be possible with the ferocious and cruel nature of a wolf? If you don’t attack humans, how can you turn a blind eye to the living people who are so close?)
(Another point worth mentioning is why the interior of the maze is so large? Could it be that the curse wants to convey some kind of hidden message to the executor through the environment?)
After sorting out all the clues in his mind, he forced himself back to reality, touched his hungry belly, and looked thoughtfully at Zhao Ping beside him.
Yes, college students believe in each other, and believe that the other party can think of everything they can think of, and with the wisdom of the man with glasses, he can also realize the irrationality of things. To say the least, even if the other party has not come to as many doubtful conclusions as he has, he can still He still firmly believed that the man with glasses was at least aware of the sheep's physical problems. Therefore, based on various speculations, he suppressed hunger and tiredness, and He Fei instinctively turned his head to look at the other person.
As soon as he saw it, his eyes met in response, and he saw that the man with glasses turned his head to look at him instinctively as if he had noticed a certain phenomenon. However, what puzzled He Fei was that he just glanced away and looked away. The other party just glanced at him and then looked away and then looked straight ahead without saying a word. This reaction of the other party also made He Fei a little confused. Of course, the above description was just the instant reaction of a college student. Then, as if he couldn't control himself, he couldn't help but turn his neck and try to turn his head, trying to observe Qiao Kedi behind him. Although this was his intention, what he couldn't understand was...
Just when He Fei's thoughts emerged and he was about to turn his head to look behind him according to the control of his brain, he stopped. A sudden thought blocked his instinct and stopped his movements abruptly. He stopped looking back and was about to turn his neck. He did not look back as his brain required him to, but continued to stare ahead silently like the man with glasses, watching the sheep.
During the process, He Fei took the opportunity to roll his eyes and secretly glanced at the expressionless man in glasses beside him.
He Fei, Zhao Ping, and Qiao Kedi, who was stroking their bellies from time to time, still followed the sheep and continued to walk through the maze. They suppressed their fatigue and continued to walk through the maze.
………
At the same time, in a different place, in another part of the maze, a certain young man seemed to be in a worse situation.
Da, da da da.
"My, my God, I'm so exhausted."
"Hey, hey, brother sheep, did you just eat before leading me? How come you are still full of energy after walking for so long? Say, have you taken stimulants beforehand? And what is the exit of this maze? Where is it? Haven't you arrived yet? I, I'm almost exhausted."
As mentioned above, Chen Xiaoyao is tired, really tired.
Although the young man was overjoyed when he first discovered this sheep that was willing to lead the way, time has passed since then, and after following the sheep for several hours, he gradually stopped laughing. It was not that he did not trust the sheep, but that He could hardly walk. He had only eaten half a piece of bread for breakfast and was already very hungry.
He was tired, hungry, hungry and thirsty. Even though there was no distinction between day and night in the maze, even if the internal environment was bright for a long time, the problem was that no distinction between day and night did not mean that time would not pass. He murmured to himself and looked at his watch. The current time period has entered the afternoon. He only ate half a piece of bread for breakfast, and he was in the mission maze with nothing to eat for lunch. In addition, he exercised for a long time during the mission. Finally, the great consumption of physical energy caused Taoist Chen to become increasingly hungry and weak. The sheep could quickly find the exit and leave the maze. Unexpectedly, nearly five hours later, nothing happened, and it was still undulating through the white maze.
Thinking of this, Taoist Chen instinctively came to two guesses:
The first guess is that the sheep is playing tricks on him, deliberately tricking him and leading him around blindly. It seems reasonable, but based on the previous speculation, the answer is obviously impossible. In this case, there is only the second guess. This guess is closest to the real reason, that is, because the area of the maze is too large, the exit has not yet been reached.
"Hey, Brother Sheep, is this really the case?"
With all kinds of speculations in mind, the young man looked at the sheep asking questions, but unfortunately there was no answer. The sheep in front of him who was leading the way leisurely ignored him from beginning to end. The other party still walked slowly and silently, leading like a machine that never tires. The young man shuttled through the alleys and continued to move forward in the huge maze of alleyways.
