Chapter 8: The Labyrinth
"Hurry up, Miss An, have you thought about it?" The beautiful instructor on the side was urging her again.
And the teammates inside the door didn't seem to want to let her go, and they were still making noise, hoping that Xiao An could save the love in their hearts first.
Xiao An is very touched by their persistent love, but the problem is that it is difficult for him to be eccentric at the moment, and it is difficult to tell which door is behind his teammates just by hearing.
By the way, the professor doesn't seem to have spoken for half a day, so I might as well ask him, maybe he can give me some useful advice.
"Professor, are you okay, can you give me a move?"
After waiting for a while, the professor said to her in a weak voice, "Ann, you just rely on your own feelings, don't be swayed by others, believe in yourself, you can do it!" ”
Oh no, looking at this meaning, the professor may not be able to stand it anymore, so he really can't hesitate anymore.
Even the professor said let me follow my feelings, so I'll do it!
Thinking like this, Xiao An was ready to push open a door in front of him.
"Eh, although I've been urging you, I don't want you to have an accident because of your recklessness!" The beautiful teacher watched and said lively, as if no matter what happened later, it would not affect her.
Okay, don't you care? Then I don't care. Anyway, you didn't tell me the law of this, so I'll push open one door first!
Xiao An thought, this is like a minesweeper, if you don't sweep, how do you know where there is a mine?
Of course, it's also possible that if you don't pay attention, those rays will bring all your teammates with you.
But she couldn't watch the minutes and seconds pass, so she pushed open a door.
is empty.
There was nothing in it, no teammates, but no other dangers imaginary.
"Good. You've safely pushed open a door, hurry up and push the rest out of the way and see if you can get your teammates out safely! ”
The beautiful instructor repeated the rules of operation with her, as long as she rescued her teammates safely within the specified time. No matter how many people are rescued, even if she still "sweeps the thunder" in the end, she will only hurt those who are not rescued, and those who are rescued will be fine.
It's more or less fair, otherwise. Then this rule is too unreasonable.
But, no matter what, it is always despicable that they are gambling with the lives of their friends.
But what can be done? This is the realm of other people, and as people from the earth, everyone is three points shorter than others, and what human rights do you talk about? People didn't expel everyone directly, which is already lenient.
With a little confidence, Xiao An continued to speculate where the door was safer.
But can this be deduced? Is there really a pattern to this? Even if there is, how can I calm down and think in such a short period of time?
The clock is still ticking. Xiao An's head began to ooze more and more sweat, and she wiped it, and it was all cold.
Isn't it only when you're frightened that you break out in a cold sweat? Why am I anxious now, and I'm also in a cold sweat?
Perhaps, because of the nervousness, it is possible. But now is the time to study this, and we have to continue to push open the remaining doors that have not yet been pushed open.
It turned out to be a labyrinth, and after a door was opened, there was still a road ahead, and it was a stretch of walking. Another door will appear, which makes Xiao An wonder: why is this room where he lives so spacious? Can you still fit into a huge labyrinth?
She continued to walk forward, seeing in front of her, to the left and right, in addition to the one behind her that had been opened. Three more appeared. And each door looked the same, so she couldn't see the difference, and she couldn't find the slightest clue that could help her open all the doors smoothly.
A, B, C, whichever is the best option? Which one is the crossroads that leads to death?
The initial success didn't give her much motivation, it only made her nervous even more. In the face of such a test, my sixth sense as a woman doesn't seem to help me much. On the contrary, since she was a child, she has actually been questioning this statement, is women's sixth sense really so effective? There has to be a percentage, and it depends on what it is. Otherwise, if girls only rely on their sixth sense to eat, then wouldn't they have to pass the test in school? That has to make the teacher who asked the question and the boys in the same classmate embarrassed.
Therefore, at this time, the sixth sense can't be relied on too casually, she doesn't dare to tie the lives of her teammates to her own fleeting feelings, in case something really happens, she is not in the mood to live in the world anymore.
"Guys, please give me more noise, or help me with a counselor, I have three doors in front of me now, I don't know which one to open!"
Xiao An shouted to them, which was regarded as asking for help on the spot.
She thought, the person who wrote the question didn't stipulate that I couldn't ask for help from my teammates, right, if I was on my own, when would I be able to open all the doors smoothly? So let's look for a rescuer first, although, in their eyes, I'm the rescuer.
"What? Didn't he hear someone inside and go in and open his door? ”
They seem to have just understood.
"Well, I thought you would be able to get Kéya out first!"
Old white.
"No, if that's the case, I'm not in a hurry, I'm sure I'll be the first to open the door to Keya, because among so many of us, she has the most ideas!" Xiao Ann told them.
Now, they understood the taste, and finally stopped arguing, and Xiao An could calm down a little, waiting for them to give a reliable answer.
"Time is tight, isn't it?" Hans asked, "We can't think of any good way, so let's leave it to our fate!" ”
After several fruitless discussions, Hans thought of the tarot cards he had with him, "Use this, there's no better way now!" ”
There was no better way, and after everyone acquiesced, Hans said to himself in his little room in a voice that only he could hear: "God, I hope you must open your eyes, and don't let us poor earthlings become lonely ghosts in this universe from now on!" ”
After hearing only a few commotions outside, Hans said to her, "Ann, try and look at the door on your left." Can you find us? ”
Well, on the left? Really?
Okay, then try it first.
Anyway, you let me choose, and your fate is not in my hands. Something really has to go wrong, you think, don't blame me all.
Otherwise, I can't afford to pay off that blood debt.
Think of it this way. She pushed open the door on the left, because she was too nervous, and after pushing it open, she was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, for fear that she would encounter something that she didn't want to happen.
When I opened my eyes again, fortunately, there was still no one, but I didn't see any danger, and it seemed that Hans's tarot cards were still very effective.
Sincerity is spirit.
It must have been at a critical juncture in life. Hans's sincerity touched God, and now God has sent someone to help me.
That's right, God!
At this time, Xiao An suddenly remembered Xiao You, but from the moment her teammates entered this room to now, they have never found her, so I don't know, where is she now?
My little tour, you should be okay too? Those aliens are clever though. But I can't do anything to you.
Xiao An's heart began to pinch again, and in this hurry, she shouted: "Xiaoyou! ”
There was no familiar voice to answer her in time.
She was unwilling, and called a few more times from her heart. thinks, as long as Xiaoyou doesn't have an accident, she should still be able to do the same as before, and she will appear when she shouts.
But this time, no matter how much she shouted, she still didn't hear her own voice. Is she still on Earth? Didn't she come along? Since teammates can be brought here. Why, then, is she, as a light and free soul, restricted? If so, how did Sandra come about?
"Xiao An, how is it, did the door open just now?" Hans was shouting.
"Oh, it's open, it's a security door, but it's not locked up with any of our teammates!" Xiao An retracted his heart and replied.
"What's going on inside, or are there three doors?" He continued to ask.
"Well, no, there's only one door this time, so I'm hesitating whether to open this one or go back and see the two!"
Now, hearing this, the brothers are also in trouble, they are thinking, how many doors are there! Because she was only locked up in a small space, she couldn't imagine the scenes described by Xiao An, and she couldn't help the problems she encountered. Hans wanted to use the tarot cards to calculate again, but the number of times this tarot card can be used every day is limited, in case, the results that come out later will bring disaster to everyone, then he will not become a sinner?
Therefore, this time, he didn't dare to take the initiative to calculate for Xiao An, and in the future, she could only make up her own mind.
"Hurry up!" The beautiful teacher is urging herself again.
That's right, even if you abstain now, you will die, if you really want to die today, it is better to finish your last words first, so that you can leave the world of Antarctica, easily and without regrets.
"I say, comrades," she said solemnly, "that now you and I have run out of a better way, and I can only really resign myself to my fate now." So I'm here to ask for your opinion, don't you blame me for whatever choice I make later? However, even if it's weird, there's no way around it, who makes everyone have no brainstorming now? If we can get through this, we must celebrate when we go out later; If the misfortune is explained in this place, we should not be sad, at least on the Huangquan Road, we also have a companion! ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then collectively agreed to her idea, "Okay, you can try it by your luck!" ”
Good! Now that I have your consent, the burden on me can be lightened considerably.
Xiao An took a deep breath, walked back from the room he was in, and stood in front of the two doors that had not yet been opened.
She wanted to open them one by one to see if it would be the same as the door on the left.
Sure enough, there is really one door behind each door, but there is only that one door. Therefore, now, the new three doors have become a problem that plagues Xiao An.
Now, I can't be so lucky.
She was getting more and more scared, and by now, a lot of time had passed, but none of her teammates had been rescued by herself.
Why am I so stupid?
She thought that the beautiful instructor outside the field must be gloating. Anyway, no matter what happens here later, it has nothing to do with her, she is only responsible for announcing the test questions, not cleaning up the battlefield.
Knock knock.
Xiao An's heart beat a drum again.
God is too stingy. For such a long time, I was able to meet one of my teammates first, so that the two of us would be better off than me continuing to fight here alone.
Time was running out, and it seemed too late to go back and open those doors one by one. Xiao An was now standing in the room on the right side with the door open. In front of her, there is still a door, that is, she has only two choices now, one is to go back and continue to try to open other doors, but in that case, it will waste a lot of precious time, and the other is to open the door in front of her directly.
Do you want to open it? Does it have to be opened? It's okay if you don't open it, but if you don't try it here. It is estimated that it will be time to end in a while, and when the time comes, it is better to bury it with everyone vigorously under your own choice.
If you don't want to, try it, life and death depend on this thought.
Xiao An stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
This time, because she was even more nervous, she closed her eyes again, and she thought that if there was really something, she should be able to feel it at the first time.
But. After a few seconds, there was no sound, only a rancid stench, which seemed to be getting thicker and thicker into her nose.
It's weird. What's going on?
Curious, she opened her eyes, and she wondered what was going on in this quiet environment.
Ahh
A scream woke every cell in her body as if she had woken up, and her mouth opened wide. I couldn't believe what was in front of me.
Who's this? Why did it become like this?
After Xiao An opened the door, he finally made a different discovery: a body with a lot of worms wriggling on it, almost covering the person's body. Xiao An took a closer look, as if those insects grew directly from that person's body, and after only a while, there were more and more, and those insects had begun to crawl out from that person's body, along the wall, along the floor, and gradually crawled towards Xiao An.
It wasn't until she woke up that she thought she was going to run, and after running through a few doors, she remembered to close them.
But those are tiny insects, and even if the door is closed, the wide cracks in the door can't close them! So even though Xiao An had run out of several rooms, those bugs still followed, and there was a tendency to spread gradually.
And Xiao An was stupid after running out of a few rooms, she couldn't remember the way she came, and she didn't know where she was now.
Doesn't it mean that when the time comes, what will happen? Isn't the time yet up? Or am I already running out of time, and this is the punishment for me?
She felt helpless, and there was endless horror.
"Excuse me, is there anyone else? Is everyone there? That beautiful teacher, is this also the question you gave me? She asked timidly.
But there was no response.
Whether it's a teammate or that beautiful teacher.
Why doesn't anyone care about me anymore? Didn't someone shout for me to come to the rescue? What about your survival**? Why don't you shout? Again, no, you're all-
Xiao An didn't dare to think about it anymore, she only hoped that Mario would appear in time at this time, or that her sister, who had always been with her at critical moments, could come over to help her, so that she would no longer have to face these things alone.
I don't seem to see those bugs anymore.
She looked at her feet, relieved slightly. Indeed, I was so tired from running just now, do you have to let me catch my breath first?
"Knock, knock, knock."
It was the sound of heavy footsteps, accompanied by a rancid stench that was getting closer.
Oh no, it must be the body chasing after me, where do I hide?
Xiao An, who had just rested, had to flee again without his life.
She opened door after door, in order to find a new way to live, regardless of whether she still had the strength to rush forward. It seems that at this time, it is no longer physical fitness, but the yearning for survival and the persistent will.
Aren't there many such examples? It's always after the catastrophe that I think it's incredible: how did I do it in the first place?
With this encouragement, Xiao An ran more energetically, and even found a hint of fun in it: the body was running lifelessly behind him, and he was leading him in front, although he couldn't shake it off, but at least for now, the body had not caught up with her.
She was a little smug, she thought to herself. How many eons have I been through? Haven't they always been auspicious? How could it be planted here today?
She thinks that every time she escapes, she is either witty or has a noble person to help, and she believes that this time, that noble person will also appear in time.
But she ran for a long time. I opened an unknown number of doors, and I didn't know where I had taken myself, only to see a huge hollow, and there were no doors around now, but she didn't know where to hide.
It's stupid. I knew that I would have just hid in a small room first, believing that as long as I held my breath for a while, the mysterious body could not hear or smell and should leave my side.
It's good that I can't find the way I came, and I don't know where to continue running, so what should I do next?
Xiao An stood in place, and all the luck just now disappeared.
If I keep running, will there be an open-ended ending like Lola?
She took a deep breath. Before the body arrived.
It seems that it has been a long time since I have been so thrilling, since I came to the South Pole Star, Mario has been very thoughtful about everything, at most in front of his mother-in-law, I feel very difficult. So, if all this is just training for her in an online school, she can still understand that it's always good to exercise. I'm afraid, it's all true. With her current capacity, if she continues like this, she will definitely not be able to do it with some heavier subjects.
"Boom. Knock, knock. ”
The voice was getting closer and closer to her, and at this time, Xiao An still hadn't figured out which direction to run.
Where are you going? There are no doors anymore, and there is no place to hide.
She doesn't remember either. How did she run from a small room to this round, large hollow, and outside the hollow, there seemed to be endless darkness.
Isn't there any light outside?
But, there should always be a road.
She didn't want to be caught like that, and even if she was discovered, it would make her suffer a heart attack.
Well, then keep running, isn't this just hollow? And although this hollow is large, it also has edges, so I keep running around its edges, and I should always find a way out.
With a heart, she began to run desperately towards the edge of the hollow without light.
Soon, she ran to the edge.
But it's so dark here, it's another horror altogether, and where am I going to hide?
On the one hand, darkness can temporarily protect Xiao An, but on the other hand, who knows, what else is hidden in it? And what if for that body, he doesn't need light at all, he doesn't fear the dark? When the time comes, won't you be sent to death in vain?
Seeing that in the hollow, the mysterious body had been walking faster and faster in his direction, Xiao An seemed to have no way back, and there was no other choice but to go all the way to the darkness.
Is this a path to the dark?
Xiao An smiled helplessly, anyway, even if he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything, so he simply closed his eyes, and only used his hearing to distinguish the things around him, hoping that his hearing at this time could help him avoid evil. It would be better if you could get out of this dark labyrinth smoothly, if all this is just an online school test, does it mean that you can graduate after you go out?
Even in the boundless darkness, she still has a yearning for light.
I'm going to be fine, I'm not going to die, I'm going to get through this.
I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, and since I stepped into the darkness, the mysterious body behind me seemed to be missing. Does he really need some light to discern where I am?
She didn't know. I just want this to end as soon as possible, it's too grinding, it's too grinding.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Oops! Why did he still chase after him?
Originally, he was glad that he had thrown off the faceless body, but he still chased after him, and the rancid breath on his body also floated over again, invading Xiao An's fragile nerves again and again.
"I said don't follow me! Don't follow me! Don't follow me anymore! ”
Unable to bear this kind of tracking, she roared hysterically.
Knowing that his situation is dangerous, he should have hidden it. But because this mental pressure was so great that people almost collapsed, even though there was a possibility of being more easily discovered, she still shouted out regardless of it.
Love, this last proposition before death, you can't also take it away. (To be continued.) )
