Chapter 16: The Labyrinth (Asking for Red Tickets and Collections)
Although it was pitch black in the underground passage, Xu Mo and the three of them were not worried about encountering the enemy's sneak attack, on the contrary, the three of them hoped that the enemy would sneak attack them in the dark, so that there would be a guide.
"Click!" The three of them didn't go far before they heard a strange sound coming from the dark passage, and then the three of them felt the air under their feet, and quickly fell down, and the bottom of the passage turned out to be hollow, and they fell into a trap.
Xu Mo's heart sank, it seemed that someone was controlling the underground building of the Huoyu Temple, and there must be surveillance cameras installed in the dark passage. In the route Dinah described earlier, they had to pass through a long underground passage before entering the labyrinth, and the three of them entered the passage in only a few tens of seconds.
The different circumstances of the two groups of people made Xu Mo's previous rendezvous plan completely invalid, originally he planned to follow the route described by Dinah, find Dinah and them first, and then gather the strength of a few people to break through the maze, or return to the ground first with memory.
The trap in the passage was not deep, only about three meters high, and when the three of them fell to the bottom, they found that it was no longer pitch black. To say that this place is a trap is actually not accurate, because no trap will be built like a hotel elevator.
When they fell into the elevator, the elevator started to start, and there was no floor on the elevator, not even a beacon to be exact. Strangely enough, the elevator door is not a regular automatic door, but similar to a hotel room door.
When the elevator stops, there is a long hallway outside the elevator door. The corridor is flanked by numbered doors, and there are glazed wall lamps on the walls at intervals, and there are oil paintings, bust portraits, and ancient Japanese myths and legends.
There was a long red carpet on the walkway, and Xu Mo lifted a red carpet and found that the floor of the corridor was a brick and stone floor, which was very solid. Clark twisted the locks on the doors next to him, and found that behind them, not all of them were the same.
Behind some of the doors was a small room, which was empty, but had the same four doors in all four directions; There are also rooms with separate hallways behind the doors; Behind the last door is an elevator. As you can imagine, when the elevator stops, they still see the same hallway when they go out.
Xu Mo and the three finally understood what Dina meant by the labyrinth, the same corridor, the same room, formed a three-dimensional maze through the connection of elevators. When people are in such an environment, it can be said that they have no sense of direction at all, and they cannot get out of the maze with memory, and without food and water, they will soon collapse and die.
Despite knowing that they had fallen into the enemy's trap, Terry and Clark were unmoved, and Clark even pouted disdainfully.
"Aren't you two worried at all, how do you get out?" Xu Mo asked strangely.
Terry turned his head and smiled when he heard Xu Mo's words, while Clark said nonchalantly:
"We were originally at the top of the mountain, and we just fell down the passage to the elevator, and the elevator came down not very fast, and the time was very short, and we are now in the middle of the mountain at most.
This hill in the Huoyu Temple is not big, the diameter is only one or two kilometers, just when the door is behind the small room, each wall is separated by five meters, and all the walls are demolished in a straight line, but only two hundred brick and stone walls, and it is a big deal to tear it out all the way! ”
After listening to this, Xu Mo opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time, and he finally understood what Clark meant by what he said earlier, "The fist is your protector". If that's the path of a martial artist, then he really has a long, long way to go, and maybe he won't be able to get to the end of his life.
Finally closed his chin, Xu Mo said helplessly: "Not to mention how many mechanisms there will be in the room, the person in charge behind the scenes will not let you do it like this." Since the builder was able to build such a tight labyrinth, he would not have left obvious flaws, and I suspect that the rooms here are not fixed! ”
"Tang Feng, do you mean the room here ......" Terry next to him moved in his heart and asked.
"yes, I suspect that the rooms here not only have some elevators disguised as longitudinal, but also have elevators that can be moved horizontally, and even can be turned in a directional way. If you want to destroy it violently, then you have to break through more than a few hundred walls, or even break down most of the walls in all directions, and even then you can't get out, because this place will collapse! Xu Mo said with a wry smile.
Clark and Terry looked at each other suddenly, Clark pushed his sunglasses, snapped his fingers, and said coolly, "Then what do you say?" ”
"We don't need to be in a hurry, it should be the person in charge of the Fire Imperial Temple who is in a hurry. There are so many martial artists who have died in the front yard of the Fire Imperial Temple, which shows that this place has been targeted by many people. The Gies organization, the mercenary organization, the organizer of the KOF fighting tournament, the police system in Tokyo, they will all come soon.
No matter how big the maze is, there is a limit, once it traps more than a certain number of people, then the maze is no longer a maze, so we just need to go with the flow, it is best to find Billy and others quickly, if you can't find it right away, it doesn't matter.
Whether it's them or us, as long as they gather in one place, the people behind the scenes can't do anything about us, and when there are more than a certain number of people trapped here, the maze will be broken, and now it's not us who have to worry about it, it's the master here. Xu Mo said lightly.
"Can you still contact your sister now? Can you remind Mary that they should be careful not to separate? Terry thought for a moment and added.
"Dinah, keep an eye on Billy, I think we'll be together soon!" Xu Mo contacted Dinah and told her about his analysis.
"Why? BOSS, the room in the maze can be moved, even if the main messenger behind the scenes can't do anything about us, he won't let us gather together easily, right? Have you found the route to the labyrinth? Dinah hurriedly asked, the completely enclosed labyrinth giving her a very uncomfortable feeling.
"No, I haven't found it, but I believe that it is precisely because the number of people trapped in the maze is gradually increasing, and it will soon be self-defeating, that the main messenger behind the scenes will seize the time to bring us both together. Have you forgotten Billy and Terry's relationship in the outside world! Xu Mo smiled and said.
"I understand, because there are many people and forces who enter, the maze will also be exposed, but the main messenger behind the scenes can take advantage of the antagonistic relationship between different forces before this, let us kill each other, and they will benefit from the back!" "But what good is this for them, why don't they retreat as soon as possible?" ”
"That's a good question, because I suspect that among them, there are not only plot characters, but also reincarnators, and plot characters need time to transfer imprisoned martial artists, and reincarnators need us to kill each other so that they can profit from it!" Xu Mo said lightly.
"There are reincarnators among them?" Dinah was shocked.
"What's so strange about this, we can see from the few worlds we have experienced before, the space will arrange reincarnations among various opposing forces, since we have an escape mission and a mission to participate in the KOF fighting competition, then they are likely to have the task of capturing the martial artists, or even ......" Xu Mo said softly.
"I see, I know what we're going to do!" A gleam flashed in Dinah's eyes.
After ending the call with Dinah, Xu Mo nodded with satisfaction, Dinah herself is not a stupid person, under his gradual guidance, she is now slowly starting to become a qualified partner.
After a few mirror worlds, Superstring Space gradually perfected the laws of world missions. The form of the task is getting bigger and bigger, and the aspects involved are getting wider and wider, and Xu Mo already feels powerless alone.
If he can't form a stable team as soon as possible, then it is obvious that his personal growth will slowly lag behind most of the reincarnators, and in such a cruel survival of the fittest, falling behind means death.
"That's it! I've already contacted my sister, now let's get to the action too, let's see how much energy this maze really has! Xu Mo smiled and said to Terry and the two.
While Xu Mo and the three of them began to push open the doors of one room after another and stepped into the unknown world, Xu Mo did not notice that in his personal storage space, there was an item that was emitting a rich blood-red light, rippling in the storage space in a circle, and even faintly passing through the different time and space of the storage space to the depths of the labyrinth where Xu Mo was.
In the deepest part of the labyrinth, which is also the lowest level of the labyrinth, there is a huge room, in which there are many members of the Fire Imperial Sect wearing red robes, and the leader is an elderly priestess with three gold trims inlaid in the red robe. The priestess was now kneeling and praying in front of a huge statue of the god, muttering words from her mouth.
In the corner of the room, there is a large screen full of surveillance screens, and in front of the large screen is a large sofa, on which sits a middle-aged man with one-eyed blond hair. The man was extremely burly, wearing only a dark blue vest on his upper body, and even where he sits, he was as majestic and calm as a mountain, and a black panther with elegant lines and fur like black satin was lazily lying at the man's feet.
"Lord Bernstein, according to the current progress, they are about to meet, but there are also many people in the labyrinth, I am afraid that it will soon be impossible to cover up the real import and export, do you need to send away those precious collections of yours first?" A slender man said, pointing to a row of bronze statues in the corner of the room.
With a humble smile on the man's face, the half-moon-shaped pendant on one ear swayed gently as his body turned......
