Time passed by, and the steps were 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 as much frustration as they did 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 originally 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 collectively stunned. Qian Xueling couldn't help blurting 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, a few seconds later, 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 had 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. The moment his eyes turned to the passage on the right, Cheng Ying's expression changed, and her long-furrowed brows 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, at another point in 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 is a mummy in front of the passage, and behind it are undoubtedly Chen Xiaoyao and Kong Ling, who have been tired for a long time. Let’s not mention how the two met and how they chose to follow the mummy, nor why the mummy did not attack the two of them. The real The strange thing 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 mummy who was 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 as they did before. Everywhere, then, 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 saw the python for the first time, was completely calm as usual, facing the ferocious floating python. 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, Kong Ling's answer was simple and direct, just saying:
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 together with the other party. 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 strange is that since the sheep herd appeared, the sheep have been stagnant, collectively blocking the only way forward, and then blocking the alley intersections.
The result can be imagined. Because the intersection was blocked, the mummy that had been slowly floating to guide the way also stopped moving forward in an instant. After that, it stood still and lost its movement. 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, couldn't help but be shocked. After all, who could have imagined that something like this would happen? In other words, neither of them ever dreamed that sheep could not only lead the way but also have a second function, blocking the road!
Why?
Where do the sheep come from? Why 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 Stunned, I immediately understood the flock’s intentions. What was their intention? You can tell at a glance just from the stagnant mummy...
The sheep are blocking the door, deliberately preventing the enforcer from approaching the exit!
Time passed by minute by minute, and the state declined 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 it is, and how much energy is consumed. This is true, and the reality is also true. As time goes by, the executors of the scattered maze gradually become weak and sluggish. Among them, He Fei fell into a coma due to excessive brain use and excessive energy consumption. In this case, if time continues to pass and the sheep continue to block the road, what outcome will be waiting for 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, his IQ and reaction ability had dropped significantly. His mind was in chaos, and his ability to judge was also inferior. Before, and after that, he exhausted his energy and followed the mummy for a long time. In fact, Chen Xiaoyao's current condition was extremely poor, almost the same as He Fei on the other side, and was 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 serious look while thinking quickly. What.
(Based on initial observations and past encounters, it can be concluded that neither mummy hoppers nor 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 through the sheep, but unfortunately it was pointless. The mummy was stagnant, and there was no mummy to lead the way. Even if we could bypass the sheep and escape from the alley, we could not do it on our own. Still can't find the exit of the maze, and this is where the problem lies. It seems that due to some restrictions, the mummies cannot get too close to the sheep, so they stop moving when the passage is blocked, and the mummies themselves are also unable to get too close to the sheep. Don’t know how to take a detour, damn it, damn it, are you 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 came out had no threat to the executor, but it could stop the mummy hawk from moving forward, and the mummy hawk was the only option that could lead the executor to the real exit. So, it turned out that the sheep's real intention was not to stop the executor. Instead, it blocks the mummy, deliberately blocking the intersection and forcing the mummy to stop moving. The stop of movement means that the mummy has lost its ability to guide the way. Once the guiding function is lost, the executor will be forced to give up following and leave. Once the executor gives up, If you follow him and find another way out, will the executor be able to find the exit?
The answer must be no. Since there is absolutely no way out, the only outcome that awaits Kong Ling and Chen Xiaoyao is 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 turtle 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 rather than 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 cannot get too close to the sheep, so it can only be blocked and unable to move. Although the executor can bypass the sheep, he can go alone. But 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 road that the mummies must pass. The mummies are interrupted. Chen Xiaoyao is confused and weak, while Kong Ling endures the fatigue and racks his brains. In the passage of time, I wasted my time trying to think hard and 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, from green to white, from white to green, from anxiety to solemnity, and finally from solemnity to determination.
She gritted her teeth with a ferocious expression, and then she moved, walking forward with her legs 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 the sheep away. 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, it is uncertain. Even if the sheep will not take the initiative to attack the executor, who can guarantee the consequences of the executor actively contacting or attacking the sheep? What if the Executor's active contact with the sheep happens to be the switch that triggers the sheep's attack? One can imagine what will happen to Kong Ling at that time.
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 risks. 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 in front of her, or take the initiative to 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 trace 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 eyes 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, Chen Xiaoyao, who was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his waist, 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 prophecy is probably 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, step 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 does not know whether he will be attacked if he contacts the sheep. If he is attacked, the person who comes into contact will have a slim chance of survival. Once Kong Ling dies, The consequences will be devastating. Since Chen Xiaoyao's physical fitness and energy are at their lowest point, after Kong Ling's death, even if the sheep do not attack Chen Xiaoyao who has never touched them, Chen Xiaoyao, who is almost incapacitated, will still die. Ichijo, after all, judging from his current state, he no longer has the energy to think too much, nor does he have the physical strength to continue moving forward. In this case, the best way to deal with it is to change positions. It is best for him, a half-dead man, to be the test subject. It is a good and reasonable choice, which is both reasonable and highly cost-effective.
Yes, let him, Chen Xiaoyao, be the experimental subject to drive away 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 he is killed by a sheep, it doesn't matter. 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 and drive the sheep instead of the girl!
"Chen Ruffian, 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, Kong Ling's gaze towards Chen Xiaoyao gradually changed unknowingly. The girl's cute face was not only obviously surprised, but also Most of them were surprised, shocked, and even incredible. 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 what Chen Xiaoyao just said, although the other party is not sacrificing himself for others, in fact it is still an extremely unfavorable decision for the young man. This arrangement is reasonable and cost-effective, but the question is... isn't he afraid of death? ? Are there really people among humans who take the initiative to take risks on themselves? Isn’t human nature dark and nasty? Ordinary people would rather die together than sacrifice themselves for the majority. This is true human nature. Unexpectedly, this guy named Chen Xiaoyao in front of him...
Perhaps he vaguely guessed something from the shocked look in 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 dangerous mission of life and death anyway. Hehe, it seems that you told me on the train. The prophecy is about to come true. Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Let’s just talk about your value. Through observation, your value is basically not lower than mine based on your eyes. You can use my half-dead skills. Trading my life for your continued survival is generally not a loss, not to mention that I may not die."
"call."
At this point, he took a long breath and paused. The young man's face became slightly condensed 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 Come on, don't collect the corpse for me, turn around and leave immediately. I don't believe that there is only one mummy worm 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 have said what I need to say. If that is the case, then..."
"Aha!"
It was too late to speak, 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, Chen Xiaoyao moved in the next moment, 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! ! !
