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

"Wait!! Mountaineering jacket, is that the one you are wearing? My eyes widened.

"That's right, this is it." Xia Cheng's face was full of helplessness and self-reproach.

"If this mountaineering jacket is real, then the Cui Li you met just now is also the real Cui Li?" I looked at Xia Cheng.

I can feel that Cui Li must have been very sad at that time, Xia Cheng actually didn't believe him, look

The wall just closes like that.

"Anyway, Cui Li must have been very sad at that time." I said.

Xia Cheng didn't speak, probably blaming himself deeply.

I glanced at Xia Cheng and said, "However, Cui Li is also very reckless, so he may not care very much." "I don't want Xia Cheng to blame himself for this, after all, we still have important things to accomplish.

"I know you just don't want me to blame myself too much, Cheng Yin, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue everyone and get out of here."

"yes, we'll get out of here." I nodded.

"I can't stay here long, even if there are no lights, the maze keepers will find us." Xia Cheng urged.

"But if we don't have lights, we can't go anywhere either."

"It's good that we have this." Xia Cheng took out a small flashlight and turned it on, although the light seemed faint, it could find a long distance.

"This flashlight just looks a little smaller, and there's nothing different about it." I don't understand the difference between this flashlight and the one in my hand.

"You don't want to look at this flashlight as small, but this flashlight is a professional adventure flashlight in the wild, and it can adjust the 'frequency' of light." Xia Cheng said.

"What frequency of light? I only know that sound has frequency, and so does light? I asked, puzzled.

"This is just a metaphor, in fact, it is the chromatic difference of light, you can know from the spectrometer, when the two colors are close to a certain extent, it is difficult for us to distinguish, this principle is similar to the frequency of sound, and the chromatic difference that humans can distinguish is also within a certain range, and the same is true for animals, this flashlight can irradiate the colors that we can distinguish, and some beasts can not find the light, so that it can play a role in covering when exploring." Xia Cheng explained in detail, but I still didn't fully understand what this flashlight was doing here.

"Simply put, we can adjust a light so that we can see it ourselves, but the maze keepers can't see it." Xia Cheng saw that I was still not very clear, and explained further.

"I see, but how can you have such a powerful flashlight? It seems that the preparation is very comprehensive. I exclaimed. Compared to them, my preparation is still very lacking.

"Actually, this flashlight was not prepared by me, but fell from Cui Li's backpack, I just picked it up on the ground." As soon as Xia Cheng talked about Cui Li, he inevitably had some self-blame.

"In that case, let's hurry up." I quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, I've got the lighting adjusted before, let's get out of here quickly." Summer City walked in front of me.

So we started looking for other partners, and the terrain of the maze was really intricate and could change at any time, even if the path we had just traveled changed quickly.

Cui Li!! Lin Yun!! "I just shouted a few times before I was stopped by Xia Cheng.

"Cheng Yin, you can't shout like this, Cui Li and they didn't hear it, but those maze guardians will soon find out about us." Xia Cheng said vigilantly.

"Okay, I got it." I kept quiet and kept walking.

June 2, 2022 at 18:02 p.m

We searched like this, it was difficult to find other people, and after walking for more than ten minutes, we still didn't find anyone.

"Where the hell are they, we are definitely not the way to do this." I whispered.

"You're right, we really can't find anyone else. It seems that the system here will calculate our route at any time, and thus block us with the walls of the maze, so no matter how we go, we can't find anyone else......" Xia Cheng didn't finish yet.

"Wait, you mean we're still within the perceptible range of this labyrinth system? What's the point of wearing a cloak and using an expedition flashlight to speak softly like you? I asked suddenly.

"Cheng Yin, I said that we are only making it difficult for those maze guardians to detect us, but no matter how we hide it, the infrared thermal sensing instruments around us will soon be able to find us."

"In that case, wouldn't it be easy for those maze guardians to know our whereabouts, so wouldn't there be no point in covering up?" I don't get it.

"At first, I had the same idea as you, but after a few tests, I found that the system of the maze is not connected to those maze guardians, in other words, the maze guardians are like chess pieces in the maze, and the main system is like the person who plays chess, I don't know if you can understand such a metaphor." Xia Cheng has tried his best to express it in a way that people can understand.

"So those maze guardians don't know the data of the main system, so they can't know our location, so they can only find it themselves?" I seem to understand something.

"It's just that there's one thing I haven't figured out......" Xia Cheng asked hesitantly.

"What's the matter?"

"I was looking for other partners before, the same as now, there was no result, just when I was about to give up, I saw you unexpectedly, at first I was also shocked, thinking that you were those maze guardians, but my judgment could not be, fortunately, my judgment was correct. But even if those maze guardians can't know my whereabouts, the system can't know it, why did you let me find you? Xia Cheng looked dazed.

"I'm afraid you guessed wrong, it's not that this system allows you to find me, but I found some clues." I whispered: "After I entered the labyrinth, I found that the surrounding environment would change at any time, but not entirely because of my movement, that is to say, these walls will judge how to change the labyrinth according to the displacement of everyone at a certain time, even if we are very close, but it will be blocked by the walls of the maze." ”

"You're right, so it's not possible for me to find you."

"However, I changed that, I used to change my position so often that the system would keep changing the position of the wall, and there would inevitably be mistakes, so I seized this opportunity to get to the place where you found me." I said slowly.

"So that's the case, then no wonder I was able to find you." Xia Cheng nodded and said.

"But in fact, there is another important place, I also found Lin Yun by chance before, but the system will quickly correct it, and let us separate again. So we still have to be vigilant at all times. "I looked around.

"Yes, the system will definitely be fixed and then we will be separated again, but we must find a way out of here before then." Xia Cheng said.

"Maybe we can do it again! And it could be even better if it was two people! "I had a flash of inspiration.

"yes, we might try." Xia Cheng agreed.

So we started to keep running back and forth, and the walls around us moved away and closed again.

Suddenly, a closed wall suddenly began to move, and a narrow walkway appeared, which could only accommodate one person at a time.

"Summer City! Fast!!! You go first!! I shouted.

"No, then what should you do, I finally found you." Xia Cheng shouted.

"There's no time!! You go first!! Go find the other people first. ”

………

"Hurry! I'm running out of time!" I watched as the aisle began to slowly close.

"Okay, Cheng Yin, I'll definitely find a way to find you!" Xia Cheng quickly turned back and ran towards the aisle, and I tried to buy Xia Cheng as much time as I could, running left and right.

Xia Cheng's speed was fast, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the hallway, and since I was the only one pulling the walls of the maze, the walkway quickly closed.

I stopped, turned on my flashlight, and panted as I looked at the closed wall, Xia Cheng must have passed.

Looking around, it was suddenly extremely quiet again, and I was the only one left.

Everything is the same again......

But the thought that Xia Cheng must have found someone else made his mood much better.

I didn't continue walking, but sat on the ground and rested for a while, running around the building all day, and now that I was too tired, I might as well rest for a while.

I took the water bottle out of my bag and sat down in front of the closed wall, resting.

I don't know who Xia Cheng found, Cui Li or Lin Yun?

I drank my water and guessed that it was still so quiet, as if it had never happened.

But just as I was resting, suddenly there was a loud noise behind me......

I quickly stood up vigilantly, and the wall that had been closed was actually opened again in front of me!

What the hell is going on? Just as I was shocked, a man walked out of the corridor of the wall, but I couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Cheng Yin, I said I would come back!"

I looked at Xia Cheng in front of me, and I was so excited that I couldn't speak.
