(Foreword)

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

I'm afraid it will be dangerous if I go down now.

"What to do? Shall we go down? Lin Yun asked cautiously.

"Now that you've found the entrance to the labyrinth, you always have to go down and have a look." I said, but I didn't know the bottom of my heart.

I looked down at the labyrinth, sweat dripping from my forehead to below. The dark labyrinth has no bottom in sight.

"It looks very deep......," Cui Li said, looking at it.

I threw my flashlight down, and with a crisp sound, it fell to the ground.

"Do you think there's going to be some mechanism down here?" Cui Li said worriedly.

"Let's take a look first, just in case..."

"I'll go down first." Xia Cheng resolutely stood at the forefront of us.

We lit our flashlight, and Xia Cheng slowly walked down the stairs.

Everyone was quiet, no one spoke, and Xia Cheng approached the ground of the lower labyrinth little by little.

We were relieved to know that Xia Cheng had landed safely on the ground.

In this way, one by one we went up the stairs to the labyrinth on the lower floor, and it seems that the structure of this labyrinth is very complex, and it is a three-dimensional labyrinth.

"This Murong Feng really put a lot of effort into this labyrinth, how much time and money do you say it will take to build such a big labyrinth." Cui Li said with a sigh.

"Don't be careless, this maze is definitely more of a headache than the maze just now, be cautious every step you take, and don't touch anything." Xia Cheng reminded.

June 2, 2022 at 19:31 p.m

We walked cautiously through the labyrinth, and so far we had not moved the walls around us, nor had the previous maze keepers appeared, and some of them seemed to be going well.

"This maze seems very simple, it's just an ordinary labyrinth, and there is not even a single mechanism." Cui Li became careless again.

"Cui Li, be quiet, Xia Cheng said to be cautious..."Lin Yun said softly.

"We're too careful, what are you doing here......" Before Cui Li finished speaking, the stone slab under his feet suddenly opened, and he fell down at once, and before we had time to react, the slate closed quickly again, and it took less than five seconds.

"Cui Li !!" I watched what was happening in front of me, but there was nothing I could do to stop it.

"How so? How so? Lin Yun kept asking.

But no one could answer her question, and Xia Cheng tried to push the two stone slabs away, but he didn't move.

I never thought that since there is a labyrinth in the lower layer, it seems that this three-dimensional labyrinth is indeed not so simple.

"Let's go, let's get out of here!" Xia Cheng said vigilantly,

"But, Cui Li still ......," I said halfway.

"Cheng Yin, Cui Li, he will be fine, let's start opening a store and leave here." Lin Yun said.

So we picked up the pace and left here.

June 2, 2022 at 19:35 p.m

We continued to walk forward when suddenly a staircase appeared in front of us.

"You see, this staircase leads to the upper labyrinth." Zhao Yuyu seemed to have discovered a new continent.

Now we have two options in front of us, one is the staircase we see, we can go to the upper labyrinth, and the other is to continue exploring this labyrinth.

"What to do? How do we get there? Lin Yun asked.

Xia Cheng thought deeply......

"I said what to think about this, I'll go up and have a look first, and if I don't find anything, I'll just come down again." Zhao Yuyu said and walked up the stairs.

"Wait a minute!! Xia Cheng's words had not been able to stop Zhao Yuyu's actions, and she had already walked quickly to the upper building.

"There doesn't seem to be an exit here, it's similar to the situation below, so I'd better come down." Zhao Yuyu, who was standing in the upper labyrinth, said.

But just as she was about to come down, the stone slab of the passage suddenly closed......

In this way, Zhao Yuyu was left in the upper labyrinth.

Now the situation is getting more and more severe, more team members are separated in various places of the maze, with the current situation, the entire maze is divided into upper, middle and lower three layers, Cui Li is in the lower layer of the maze, and Zhao Yuyu is in the upper layer of the maze, and we are now in the middle of the maze.

"Everyone, be careful!" Summer City is constantly reminding us.

We continued to explore the maze in the middle level, but we didn't find any useful clues.

There seems to be no end to the labyrinth at all, we keep walking, but there is always a way forward.

"How I feel like we're just going round and round." I said.

"That's right, we've been going around in circles since just now." Xia Cheng looked at his watch and said.

"You see this place, we must have been here just now, and there are still our footprints here." Since the ground was covered with thick dust when we were looking for the entrance to the labyrinth before, our feet were covered with dust, I said as I looked at the three pairs of footprints on the ground.

"Looks like we're really going around in circles here." Lin Yun said helplessly.

We stopped, and it would be a waste of time to go on like this.

"Look! There's a button on this wall!" I was amazed to find that on the wall of the labyrinth there was a button similar to an elevator, an up button and a down button.

"Really, there's a button here." Lin Yun also walked to the front of the button.

I tried pressing the up button, and suddenly the stone slab above opened and an upward staircase appeared at the same time. I didn't rush up, but pressed the down button.

The slab above began to slowly close, and at the same time the slab at his feet began to move, and a staircase descended from the ground.

It turns out that you can also choose to go to the upper or lower labyrinth.

"What to do? Do we choose the upper or lower tier? Lin Yun asked towards Xia Cheng.

"Whether it's the upper or lower level, it's unknown to us, so let's look upwards in that case." Xia Cheng took his attention.

With that, I pressed the up button again, and the upward staircase appeared in front of us again.

In this way, we came to the upper layer of the labyrinth, which is not as dark as the middle labyrinth, but there is some light, and we are walking in the upper labyrinth, and we may soon meet Zhao Haoyu, who is also on the upper floor. Thinking of this, I quickened my pace.

Xia Cheng still looked at the surrounding situation very carefully, and any faint detail could be the key to getting out of this maze. No matter what, we can't give up.
