Tick-tick-tick-tick.

It is the sound of the second hand walking.

It is also the sound of death walking.

A labyrinth of cold and dark basements, and on a huge clock, the second hand, which represents life and death, moves precisely.

The faint light came from the only small window in the basement to the outside.

Iron railings that cut the sunlight into countless pieces.

In the shred light, a teenager hidden in the shadows, wearing a black mask, leaned wearily against the corner.

Scattered wet hair fell under the delicate eyebrows.

Because the movement is too intense.

The sweat never stopped, from the corners of his forehead, from his back, constantly leaching.

He looked at the little window, the beautiful and slender figure, hidden in the darkness.

The world on the other side of the sun seems to be just a fantasy he hopes for.

The Gu family rose by virtue of a not-so-bright career.

This ancient family.

All kinds of weird and cumbersome rules bind everyone.

The group of elders sitting above him looked down coldly at him, the successor of the Gu clan.

The Gu family has a coming-of-age ceremony.

Want to be in control.

It must be tested by a labyrinth.

Today is his seventh day in the labyrinth.

No power and water, no food, if you want to live.

You have to get through it on your own in order to get a small amount of food and water to sustain your body.

And these difficulties are varied.

Includes deadly traps, poison gas attacks, and decryption formulas for every shot.

At last...... It's murder.

In the final level of this labyrinth, a killer hides quietly in the labyrinth.

If Gu Nuo can't be before the time is up.

Kill him.

So...... He will die.

This is the family contract that my father signed when he inherited the Gu family.

It should have been the uncle who inherited it back then.

But because of the uncle's early death, the position fell to his father.

The rightful successor is actually not him.

The Elders acquiesced that the inherited position was kept for his cousin.

Once his cousin came of age, he had to hand over power.

And his father was unwilling.

The two sides fought for a long time, and finally signed the death test of the coming-of-age ceremony.

As long as he succeeds, then he will still be the heir.

His cousin renounced the inheritance.

If it fails - die.

The coming-of-age ceremony of other heirs, go through the formality.

His coming-of-age ceremony was a bargaining chip that his father used to snatch power and pay.

In all forms, it is deadly.

The gas trap is real, and the killing mechanism is real.

It's also true that you drown in a tank if you can't solve the formula.

Even, you can't kill the killer.

Killed...... It's also true.

The young man lowered his eyes quietly, his wet black hair was attached to the mask, and part of his cheeks exposed under the tail of his eyes were as white as a gentle warm jade.

His fingertips twitched, as if counting the time.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

A dark and swift figure suddenly appeared behind him.

The professional killer was sent by his cousin.

There is no killer move to release water.

He must be determined to die.

That incomparably sharp knife was the deadly claws of the beast in the dark night.

At the sight of it, he cut the neck of the defenseless boy.

The next second.

Blood-colored flowers, blooming.

Countless beautiful blood foams, splashed in the air.

The young man's cold eyes reflected the killer's incredulous face.

He had no weapons.

The killer has.

He didn't kill anyone.

The killer doesn't know how many souls he has dealt with.

Everyone was looking forward to his death.

His father also looked at it indifferently, as if it would be good to have a bargaining chip with the elder group in exchange for a death of him.

The world is like this labyrinth.

The darkness of despair, boundless.

The killer slumped to the ground with a dull thud of death.

A few strands of broken sunlight fell on the fingertips of the young man, his beautiful slender fingers, with well-defined bones and a pale complexion.

And in the pale fingers, an iron second hand, I don't know when it appeared.

He had no weapons.

The only thing this labyrinth has, except for darkness, is the clock.

The killer ignored the sound of the second hand.

The sound of ticking was gone, because he had dismantled the second hand.

When the boy slowly walked out of the labyrinth, it was already late at night.

All the people who were waiting for him to die sat outside the labyrinth, watching him come out in amazement.

The young man glanced at them quietly, his eyes dark.

Even when he swept his father's figure, he was still as faint as looking at a dead man.

Then he turned to leave, taking off his mask as he went, revealing a calm and fair face, and his fingertips were stained with a few traces of blood.

He was indifferent.

Even if you wipe it clean, the smell of blood is still there.

When he reached the hall, he realized that he was thirsty.

Seven days of continuous hard work, constantly hoping that his father could do something and give up the contract.

Even if you don't want this power, you don't want this position.

It doesn't matter, it's a pity...... Scold.

If you eat very little food, you will be hungry, but the teenager will not be hungry.

He walked over to the refrigerator, opened it with a blank face, and took out ice water.

His dark eyes fell lightly under the table beside him.

The sound of someone breathing.

And also...... Soft sweet aroma.

Did the kitchen make desserts today?

The young man leaned on the refrigerator, thought indifferently, quietly picked up the water glass, raised his chin slightly and took a sip.

As for who's under the table, it doesn't matter what happens to him.

Outside the large window of the living room and kitchen, the moonlight scattered all over the ground.

The young man's long and narrow eyelashes were full of points of light, and his eyes were silent and dark, but there was no trace of light.

It was as dark as death.

Suddenly, in the dark of the night, an unusually abrupt and clear voice sounded.

"Big brother, do you want some noodles?"
