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

All of us walked out and were finally able to get out of this labyrinth, and we were indescribably happy. But what is the real labyrinth that the maze keeper just said? But no matter what, we're going to get rid of Raina Lee.

A short break means a new start, and we are ready to face new challenges.

"Finally out of this labyrinth!!" Cui Li shouted loudly.

"yes, those maze keepers are upset when they see it." Since Zhao Yuyu saved her from Cui Li, she obviously rarely raised the bar with him anymore.

"Everyone must be tired, let's rest for a while." Xia Cheng said.

After the previous maze, everyone was very tired.

"Xia Cheng, now you can tell us what the hell is going on, right?" Lin Yun looked at Xia Cheng and asked suspiciously.

"That's right, I also wanted to ask just now, but the situation in front of me was urgent, so I didn't have time to ask." I'd love to know what the hell is going on?

"You want to ask me why I know that Cui Li and the others are all okay and can find us?" Xia Cheng said with a smile.

"Also, what's going on with Zhang Han? Haven't you had a big fight before? But in a blink of an eye, how could he be with Cui Li and them again, what the hell is going on? Lin Yun continued to ask.

"What? Xia Cheng and Zhang Han had a big fight, what's going on? Cui Li looked at us inexplicably.

"Just after you were trapped in the labyrinth, Xia Cheng quarreled with Zhang Han, Zhang Han suggested that we leave here by ourselves first, and then find a way to rescue you, but Xia Cheng did not agree, so Zhang Han left us angrily." I told Cui Li the general story.

"You said Zhang Han wanted to leave us alone and leave the labyrinth? But this is impossible, Cui Li and I were both found by Zhang Han. He didn't say what he said. Is there something wrong? Zhao Yuyu's words made me even more confused.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Lin Yun asked puzzled.

All the mysteries point to Xia Cheng, and only he can explain it all.

"What you said is not wrong, I did have a big quarrel with Zhang Han, but all this is fake." Xia Cheng glanced at Zhang Han, but Zhang Han did not respond.

"Fake? Do you mean to say that the quarrel between you and Zhang Han was discussed in advance and deliberately shown to us? Lin Yun asked suspiciously.

"To be precise, it's for those maze keepers. Ever since Cui Li was trapped and left the team, I have been thinking deeply, the goal of a few of us is too big, and it is easy to be discovered by the maze guardians, so it is almost impossible to find Cui Li and Zhao Haoyu like this, so I discussed with Zhang Han, deliberately found a reason to quarrel with him, and gave him the mountaineering jacket so that it would be easier for him to hide himself after leaving the team, so that it would be easier to find Cui Li and Zhao Haoyu. Xia Cheng explained carefully.

"So that's the case, you deliberately found a reason to quarrel, in order to have an early opportunity to let Zhang Han act alone and find Cui Li and them?" Lin Yun suddenly realized: "I thought you guys were really quarrelling, which made me worry."

"I'm sorry, Zhang Han and I have to be as close as possible to a real fight, otherwise it will cause suspicion among those maze guardians. So I didn't tell you beforehand, and I hope you can understand. Xia Cheng said apologetically.

"But there are still some things I don't understand." I looked at Xia Cheng: "Even if you and Zhang Han discussed it in advance, but it was confirmed when he left, that is to say, once Zhang Han leaves the team, we can't know his whereabouts, but in the end, you can clearly know their whereabouts, why is this?" "I still don't quite understand.

"It's all about this." Xia Cheng spread out his right hand and took out an electronic device.

I've seen this electronic device before, and Xia Cheng often takes out this device and compares it with the drawings he draws.

"What is this?" Cui Li asked curiously. "I've never seen you have this device."

"This electronic device is not actually mine, but given to me by Zhang Han. It is also the most important part of our plan. Xia Cheng said mysteriously.

"Isn't it just an electronic device, what's the matter?" Zhao Yuyu said disdainfully.

"There's nothing remarkable about the electronics themselves, but with a little use, it's very different." The more Xia Cheng talked, the more mysterious he looked.

"Xia Cheng, what the hell is this?" Lin Yun asked.

"Actually, this electronic device is Zhang Han's music walkman......" Xia Cheng has not finished speaking.

"Damn, I thought it was some great device, it turned out to be a music player." Cui Li said with a disappointed face.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed to hear this, how much of a wave a music player can make...... But Xia Cheng did finish talking at that time, and Cui Li and they appeared, but it's hard for me to believe that all this is relying on this music player.

"Xia Cheng, you're not kidding, you can find us with just a music player?" Zhao Yuyu asked in disbelief.

"Don't underestimate this music player, this player and Zhang Han's wireless headphones are interconnected. While an engraved area can block out signals from the outside world, Infinity Earbuds can be used. Xia Cheng was right, Zhang Han's headphones could indeed hear music before.

"However, you can't do much with just a wireless earphone." Cui Li asked rhetorically.

"A wireless headset is enough for us, the volume can be adjusted on the headphones, as long as Zhang Han has adjusted the volume, there will also be a corresponding display on my music player, assuming we set the volume four as a standard value, once Zhang Han adjusts the volume to five, I can know that he has found a companion, when the volume is turned up

When he was six, it meant that he had found Cui Li and Zhao Yuyu. Xia Cheng said slowly.

"No wonder I asked you why you weren't in a hurry to find Cui Li and them, you told me that they are safe now, it turns out that at that time you already knew that they had all been found by Zhang Han." Only then did I understand why Xia Cheng was so confident before.

"Yes, at that time, the volume on my music player was already displayed as six, which means that everyone has been found." Xia Cheng nodded.

"But I still have a question, how are you so sure that no one in your team, Cheng Yin and Lin Yun will leave the team? If Zhang Han finds us, but you have lost other teammates here, how can you notify Zhang Han? "Zhao Haoyu's question is very sharp.

"You thought about it carefully, and we also had such doubts, so we set the standard value at four, which means that we now have four people (Xia Cheng, Cheng Yin, Zhang Han and Lin Yun). If someone from my team is leaving, I'll turn down the volume, and it will also show on Zhang Han's headphones, and he will continue to look for the team member who is leaving. Until the volume is fixed at six, which means that all of us have found it. "Xia Cheng's consideration is really careful.

I didn't expect a simple volume function on the music player to play this role, and I have to admire Xia Cheng and Zhang Han.

"But even if you can use the volume of the player to confirm the number of people, how can you use this to confirm the direction?" Zhao Yuyu continued to ask.

"That's right, it's not possible to rely on a headset to confirm your bearings." Cui Li also questioned.

"I have to say that this is a unique feature of this player." Xia Cheng said with a smile.

"The unique function, can it show the direction, so powerful?" Cui Li asked.

"It's not that powerful, but if you can still show the direction directly, it does save a lot of effort." Xia Cheng said: "But this player really has a similar function, 'find function'. ”

"'Looking for features'?" Zhao Yuyu repeated.

"In fact, the so-called 'search function' has been very common in today's headphones, because of the wireless headphones, so people often forget where the headphones are placed, and they are troubled by finding headphones." Xia Cheng looked at Zhang Han's headphones.

This is a common occurrence, sometimes you put your headphones aside, and sometimes they are covered by a book or something, and it's really hard to find.

"Therefore, the current headphones have a 'search function', which is actually to judge the distance between the headset and the player according to the size of the wireless signal of the headset, and display the corresponding distance on the player." Xia Cheng said and picked up the music player in his hand. The distance of 0.8 meters is clearly shown on it.

"I didn't expect this feature to exist!" Cui Li said in admiration.

"So, I can clearly judge Zhang Han's position, but there is another most important premise, that is, all the preparations." Xia Cheng spread out his labyrinth drawings that he had been revising, clearly marked with the corresponding routes, as well as the changing routes of the wall movements.

"I've been researching a labyrinth before, so that I can get familiar with this labyrinth and find Zhang Hanhe's exit from this labyrinth as soon as possible."

It turned out that Xia Cheng was not in a hurry to find Cui Li before, in order to familiarize himself with the environment here first, and I blamed him unreasonably.

"Xia Cheng, I ...... just now" I didn't apologize.

"It's okay, I said it was just a misunderstanding." Xia Cheng said unconcernedly.

"I've always thought that Zhang Han's headphone shape was too exaggerated, but I didn't expect it to be useful." Cui Li praised Zhang Han's headphones.

"Exaggerated...... This is the latest, is it good......" Zhang Han finally couldn't help but speak.

We burst out laughing.

Xia Cheng returned the music player in his hand to Zhang Han, and all the mysteries in the maze have been solved.

June 2, 2022 at 18:45 p.m

A short break means a new departure.

"What did that maze keeper mean by that?" Lin Yun remembered the words of the guardian when he came out of the maze just now.

"Who knows, maybe it's just angry talk." Cui Li didn't care.

"Angry talk? Those are artificial intelligences, all the words are set, will they still be angry? Zhao Yuyu rarely fought with Cui again.

"Whether it's true or not, we're still better off on the news." Xia Cheng said seriously.

We slowly walked to the elevator door, the elevator door slowly opened, and we walked inside.

"Then let's get out of here." Cui Li pressed the first floor, but there was no response, so he pressed the other floors without any response.

"What's going on, is this elevator broken?" Cui Li kept pressing the button on the floor.

"It shouldn't be ......," Xia Cheng's expression was serious.

"So what do we do now, or do we get out of this elevator first." Lin Yun's suggestion was obviously useless, and the elevator door could not be opened.

Suddenly, the button on the second basement floor suddenly lit up......

"How did it suddenly light up?" Zhao Yuyu said in a panic.

Everything is different from what we thought, and everything in front of us becomes unknown again......

Suddenly the elevator started to work, and the number of the display changed to -2......

As the elevator doors open again, new challenges will emerge in front of us.

I looked at everything in front of me, and there was no direction for answers, and we were about to enter a new test.

We never gave up hope, just as we were able to overcome new challenges time and time again.
