(Foreword)

The road ahead was thorny and bumpy, but there was no turning back.

What should I do, there is no hope, it seems that I can't get out, I look at the huge iron ball in front of me.

The iron ball did not slow down, but came in my direction so fast that even if I wanted to dodge, there was nowhere for me to dodge, so I could only stand still and wait for the fateful moment to come.

The two iron balls came in my direction at the same time, and I still had no place to dodge, so I could only retreat and lean against the wall behind me, but who knew that the wall behind me suddenly turned, and I suddenly lost my center of gravity and fell to the ground.

"Cheng Yin? How did you fall to the ground? I thought you were all gone? I opened my eyes and looked, and the person who spoke was Lin Yun, and she also looked at me with a look of surprise and asked.

"Lin Yun? How did you end up here? What about the others? I asked rhetorically.

Obviously, Lin Yun was stopped by my question, and after a while, he said, "Are you also separated from everyone?" ”

I nodded, "When I came in, I didn't see you."

"Me too, I thought I was the only one left in this labyrinth, but I didn't expect you to be the same, when I came in, there was no one, no matter how I shouted, no one responded, so I took a few steps forward to see if there would be any clues, but who knew that it was on my right hand, and suddenly another huge iron ball came towards me, so I ran desperately, ran desperately, and finally in this safe area now, just wanted to rest for a while, you appeared in front of me." Lin Yun looked at me.

It seems that we are in almost the same situation, and now we don't know where the others are.

"Then let's go find someone else. Amateurs, too, are trapped in this labyrinth. I proposed.

"Okay, let's go find out." Lin Yun also agreed.

The maze was really big, far bigger than we thought, and we walked inside for a while, but still didn't find anyone else.

"Do you think they're going to leave here already?" Lin Yun asked worriedly.

"Probably not, Xia Cheng will never leave any members of the research team in this labyrinth."

The labyrinth is not only big but also constantly moving, so even if we make a mark, it will be of no use.

"Summer City! Cui Li! Zhao Hazy Rain! Zhang Han! Where are you? Lin Yun shouted as he walked.

Suddenly, I stopped and motioned for Lin Yun to be quiet.

"What's wrong? Cheng Yin, did you hear other people's voices? ”

"It's not...... I feel like something is coming at us..."I knew it wasn't an iron ball coming at us this time, it was something else.

I leaned against the corner wall and whispered, "Lin Yun, are there any reflective things, such as mirrors or something?" ”

"Mirrors? Yes, is it okay for you to look at the vanity mirror? Lin Yun rummaged through his bag for a while and took out a very small mirror.

"Yes, that's it." I slowly stretched the mirror out of the wall and looked at the top of the hallway, but the light from the flashlight didn't shine down the hallway, so I couldn't see clearly, but I could vaguely see something moving quickly.

"Cheng Yin, how about it, do you have any new discoveries?" Lin Yun asked.

"No, there's danger ahead, we have to get out of here as soon as possible." I don't know what those moving fast are, but I'm sure it won't be Summer City.

Lin Yun looked at me in panic, "But if you go back, there will be a huge iron ball." "It's another dilemma, but it's more dangerous than the iron ball, and we don't even know what lies ahead.

I gently placed the flashlight on the ground and gently pushed it down the aisle.

That way, the light on the aisle was enough for me to tell what it was.

I picked up Lin Yun's makeup mirror and observed the situation in the aisle. Suddenly we saw something, and there was a faint blue light.

Just as I was about to look more closely, the thing was rushing towards me.

"Running !!" I instinctively shouted.

Lin Yun and I ran quickly towards the original road.

"Cheng Yin, what is that?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not something friendly."

We felt like we had run far enough to stop.

"Cheng Yin, I really can't run, don't you see what it is?"

"I don't know, that thing has a faint blue light on it...... And the speed of movement is very fast. I said breathlessly.

"What do you say? That's a very fast thing! So how can we outrun it? Lin Yun's words suddenly alerted me, that's right, we definitely can't move faster than them, so it's possible that they have already caught up with us now, maybe they are hiding somewhere? I watched the situation around me vigilantly, and we were all ready to flee if there was any wind blowing on the ground.

"Cheng Yin !!" Lin Yun shouted softly.

"What's wrong? What happened? I asked inexplicably.

"You...... Behind him......" Lin Yun's expression was nervous.

"What's wrong? ......" I slowly glanced back. A pair of dark blue eyes were looking at me.

We don't speak, and we don't know when this unidentified object will attack.

I motioned for Lin Yun to move slowly with my eyes, and Lin Yun took a few steps back knowingly, and I took a few steps forward.

Lin Yun's frightened look reminded me that the thing was still there......

Now there are only two choices in front of me, one is to fight with that thing, and the other is to get out of here quickly, but neither of these choices is so easy, first, I don't know the combat effectiveness of this thing, and second, I can't necessarily outrun this thing.

My sweat was starting to flow, and I had to make a choice soon, at least for now, and the initiative was in my own hands.

"Run!! I resolutely chose to flee here, and now is not the time for a head-on confrontation.

Lin Yun turned around and ran quickly, while I threw the makeup mirror in my hand behind me, trying to buy as much time as possible.

I raced, not knowing what was going on behind me.

"It looks like it's gone." Lin Yun stopped.

I don't know how far we went. But when I heard that the thing had left, the hanging stone finally fell.

"What's that?" I asked, and since I was facing away, I didn't see the general idea.

"It looks like an animatronic robot."

"Animatronics?" How can there be electronic robots here?

"I guess it's set up to protect this place." Lin Yun speculated.

Well, the original huge iron balls have not been solved, and now there are some electronic robots, and there are more and more headaches.

"But why, those animatronics don't attack me?" I asked curiously, knowing that at such a close distance, if I had attacked, I would have fallen to the ground.

"I don't know about this, maybe there are other reasons." Lin Yun said puzzled.

Regardless of this, it is lucky enough to be able to escape.

Just when I thought I could rest for a while, I heard a 'click' sound in my ears again......

As soon as I heard this voice, a huge iron ball appeared in my head.

"Lin Yun, run quickly...... "Actually, I also feel a little unable to run."

"I'm going to run ...... again," Lin Yun looked at me helplessly.

We continued running down a new walkway.

June 2, 2022 at 16:58 p.m

I stopped in a place that felt safe. I took out the water in my bag and took a sip, then took out a new bottle and threw it to Lin Yun.

"Cheng Yin, do you think we can get out of here?"

"Yes, surely, don't we still have to rescue Li Ruina?"

"But we can't even get out of here now, so how can we save Li Ruina?"

…………

"Wait, I think I hear music." I whispered.

"Cheng Yin, don't scare me, it's still a little scary to hear music here." Lin Yun looked at me in horror.

I listened carefully, this music was not the terrifying music that Lin Yun said, but a very familiar music. Faintly, some can't be heard clearly, but the sound is getting closer...

"My future, whose future is it, I stand at the apex, looking out at the sea..."

……

"My future, whose future is it, I stand at the apex, looking out at the sea..."

……

I listened carefully...... Such a familiar piece of music......

"My future, whose future is it, I stand at the apex, looking out at the sea..."

……

"My future, whose future is it, I stand at the apex, looking out at the sea..."

……

"It's Zhang Han!!" I screamed.

"Zhang Han? Where is it? How I didn't see it. Lin Yun looked around, but he could hardly see anything except the deep corridor with no end in sight.

"I feel like it's right around here." I searched carefully for the source of the music.

There is not a single figure in sight at either end of the aisle, let alone Zhang Han.

"Cheng Yin, are you sure you heard the music in Zhang Han's headphones?" Lin Yun confirmed.

"That's right, it's the music that is often played in Zhang Han's headphones, I'm too familiar with it, it's impossible to make a mistake."

I was leaning against the wall, and suddenly the music came to my ears, but after I had walked a few steps, I couldn't hear any music at all.

"This is it, and that's what I hear." I said, pointing to the wall.

"Cheng Yin, you said the music came from the walls? Isn't that ridiculous? Lin Yun didn't believe it.

I lightly touched the wall with my hand, and sure enough, the wall began to move, and I stepped over the wall and came to the other side.

Zhang Han was sitting on the ground with headphones, and he, who had always been calm, was also frightened by my sudden appearance.

"Cheng Yin??? How did you suddenly show up? I've been looking for you for a long time. Not even a figure, but you suddenly appeared. Zhang Han asked.

"Zhang Han, are you also here that you can't find anything else?" Lin Yun asked.

"Yes, I couldn't see you when I came in, so I looked for you everywhere, but who knew that you didn't find it, but a huge iron ball appeared, and it was not easy for me to avoid it." Zhang Han said.

"Cheng Yin, it seems that everyone is in the same situation, it is this maze that separates us all." Lin Yun said.

"yes." I looked at Zhang Han in front of me coldly and said.

"So what do we do now? Is it to find Xia Cheng them first. Find a way to get out of here again? Zhang Han proposed.

"yes, let me think about it......" I said as I searched for something in my backpack.

Suddenly, I took out a bottle of drink from my backpack, threw it at Zhang Han, and then pulled Lin Yun and ran.

"Cheng Yin, what's going on? Could it be that those animatronic robots have reappeared? That's right! Haven't brought Zhang Han with you yet? Lin Yun said anxiously.

"No, he's more familiar with this place than we do." I said.

"What does this mean, you mean Zhang Han has been here? But it can't be, he's here for the first time with me. Lin Yun asked puzzled.

I ran as hard as I could, and I didn't have time to explain it all to Lin Yun.

But just as we were running desperately, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of us----- Zhang Han.

He was looking at us with the bottle of drink I had just thrown at him and asked, "What's wrong?" Cheng Yin, don't call me when you run away. Could it be that those animatronic robots have appeared? ”

"Zhang Han? You weren't just behind us, why are you running so fast? Lin Yun asked.

I took out a flashlight from my backpack and put it in front of me and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Who am I? Cheng Yin, you must be too forgetful. I'm Zhang Han, you don't remember me so soon? Zhang Han said innocently.

"Yes, Cheng Yin, why don't you even remember Zhang Han, you forgot that he came with us." Lin Yun also said beside him.

"Of course I know Zhang Han, but you're not Zhang Han, tell me quickly, who are you!!" I asked.

"Am I not Zhang Han? Cheng Yin, what's wrong with you? Zhang Han took a few steps closer to me.

"Stop !!" I shouted.

"Cheng Yin, what's wrong with you? He's Zhang Han, our partner? A member of the research team, what's wrong with you? Lin Yun asked.

"Zhang Han? Are you really Zhang Han? I, Lin Yun, have never mentioned any electronic robots in front of you, how do you know this? I asked.

"That's right, Zhang Han, you did say something about an electronic robot just now, but it stands to reason that you shouldn't know?" Lin Yun asked suspiciously.

"Cheng Yin, you just rely on this to say that it is all Zhang Han, isn't it too ridiculous, I also encountered it before you came, but I didn't tell you before." Zhang Han explained.

"That's the case, it's no wonder, it's not just an electronic robot here, it's not strange for Zhang Han to meet overnight, Cheng Yin, maybe you're too careful." Lin Yun motioned for me to withdraw the flashlight in my hand.

"How long are you going to pretend? The electronic robot is just the name that Lin Yun gave to those things at random, we don't know what it is at all, how can you say the same name as Lin Yun? "I still haven't let my guard down.

"Hahaha!!" Zhang Han suddenly laughed. "It seems that you are really smart, and there is no way to convince you of this..."

"Zhang Han? What happened to you? Cheng Yin, what the hell is going on? I have some headaches. "Lin Yun is already safe, and I don't know what's going on.

"Lin Yun, the Zhang Han you see now is not Zhang Han at all, and I still have reason to believe that the Zhang Han in front of us is what you call an electronic robot." I said.

"Wonderful! It's wonderful!! Zhang Han clapped his hands and said. I have to admire you. ”

"Cheng Yin, are you saying that Zhang Han in front of us is actually the electronic robot? It's just incredible. Lin Yun said.

"But I have a question I can't figure out." Zhang Han said: "I said that the electronic robot was already after you and Lin Yun escaped, that is to say, when you first saw me, you already knew that I was not Zhang Han, didn't you?" ”

"That's right, when I first saw you, I already knew that you weren't Zhang Han." I said coldly.

"So why is that? How do you know? Why? Zhang Han looked a little angry.

I looked at Zhang Han in front of me, I should say that it was an electronic robot, and I was also very angry.
