Chapter 283: The Labyrinth
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Lin reached out and knocked on the seemingly normal wall. As expected, she heard the sound of a hollow wall.
She followed the path and knocked as she touched it. She finally found the entrance.
The sound of water dripping was the sound of water hitting glass. This meant that the location of the water dripping was facing one of the glass walls of the glass labyrinth. However, Bai Lin clearly saw the water dripping from the corner of the wall to the ground.
“We’ve already entered the maze from the very beginning.” Bai Lin turned to look at the corner where she met Ye Xing. That was the real entrance to the labyrinth.
That was why Bai Lin did not hear Ye Xing’s footsteps and cries when she ran over. Instead, Ye Xing had suddenly ran into her.
However, Ye Xing’s desperate scream could still be heard. Firstly, Ye Xing was closer to the exit, and secondly, this meant that the maze still had flaws. It could not completely isolate all sounds, perhaps only to a certain decibel. After listening to Bai Lin’s explanation, Ye Xing’s eyes were filled with admiration.
“What should we do now? Can we find them if we shout?” Ye Xing asked.
“You don’t have to do this. We can’t be sure where they are now. Shouting might not make them hear us. Instead, it will hurt your throat.” Bai Lin quickly stopped Ye Xing from shouting.
What they had to do was to find the right path in the labyrinth and their companions who had been separated.
Zhou Guang did not stay idle. He walked around in this space, trying his luck to find the maze corridor where Zheng You and Li Xuan had disappeared. He actually managed to find it.
However, he was not the one who found the labyrinth. It was the labyrinth that found him.
“Zhou-ge?” Li Xuan asked.
Zhou Guang asked as well, “Li Xuan?”
Li Xuan did not know that he was in a labyrinth. He only felt that he had seen the path ahead and was walking forward alone After walking a few steps, he realized that he was the only one left.
He tried to walk back, but the path in front of him and behind him looked exactly the same. After looking around, he could not tell which way was the way forward and which way was the way back.
However, they did not encounter any monsters along the way, and the lights in the underground area were especially bright. This made Li Xuan feel at ease. Even though they encountered some water-spraying mechanisms on their way here, they were not scary and did not cause much damage.
Just like that, Li Xuan randomly chose a direction and walked forward. After a few steps, he felt like he had hit a wall, but the front looked like a path.
Li Xuan pondered for a while before realizing that this might be a maze. He immediately decided to walk in one direction. As long as he hit the wall, he would turn 90 degrees to the left before continuing.
It was unexpected that Li Xuan’s strange and stupid method would actually let him exit the labyrinth by accident.
Although he had arrived at the starting point, he was still much stronger than the others who were still trapped inside.
At the very least, he could provide Bai Lin and the others with some information about the internal structure of the maze.
Zhou Guang did no know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Li Xuan’s explanation. He had never heard of anyone walking through a maze like this. Li Xuan really managed to walk out of it; what kind of amazing luck was this?
[Li Xuan’s actually the first to come out. I thought he’d be the last.]
[It’s so funny when Zhou Guang and Li Xuan looked at each other. Their expressions were so silly.]
[Li Xuan and Ye Xing meeting again is so sweet.]
[Come out? He’s going back to the starting point. I can’t see them, but I think
Youyou must’ve found the exit.]
Since not enough cameras were turned on at the beginning, the guests who entered the maze did not have accompanying cameras. However, this unknown brought a good effect. The audience in the livestream was guessing the reason for the guests’ sudden disappearance.
Bai Lin felt that since Li Xuan was able to come out like this, it might prove that there were no dead ends in the maze. There might even be many exits.
This way, the difficulty of the maze was greatly reduced, and the probability of finding the right exit was also greatly increased.
Since there were no cameras following them, no one knew that Zheng You was dying in the maze.
In this place where it was the same no matter where she looked, and where she could suddenly hit her head no matter where she walked, she felt an obvious sense of dizziness and even wanted to vomit.
Zheng You looked around but did not see any accompanying camera. She tried to call out for Jing Shan, but no one answered.
She did not ask for help again. Instead, she tried to move forward slowly by touching the wall after she hit it, but the dizziness grew stronger. Finally, she could not bear it and squatted on the ground, retching loudly.
“Youyou! Is it you?
