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

Xia Cheng carefully recorded all the poems on the wall on paper, and then sat alone and analyzed them, while the others looked for clues on their own. Cui Li was the only one who kept groping for something on the wall.

"Cui Li, what are you looking for?" I asked, confused.

Cui Li looked at me mysteriously and said softly, "I discovered a secret. As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Murong Feng not far away, and then whispered in my ear.

"I said stupid boy over there, don't waste your efforts, if the exit of this labyrinth can be found by you like this, then half of my life's hard work will be in vain." Murong Feng obviously already knew Cui Li's thoughts.

"Damn, this old fellow, it seems that he has some skills."

I looked at Cui Li and said: "Murong Feng is also the same maze designer as Mr. Ouyang Yu, and he knows the maze he designed best, since he is so confident that we can look for clues at will, that is to say, this clue is not easy for us to find, and it is even impossible for us to find it." ”

"Cheng Yin, what should I do then?" Cui Li pointed to his wrist and continued: "It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, we have spent a whole day here, if we give up at this last moment, let alone rescue Li Ruina, even we can't protect ourselves." ”

Cui Li is right, we are not here to solve the maze or mechanism here, but to rescue Li Ruina. Now everyone is trapped here, but time has not stopped. If there is no mechanism in this hall at all, and there is no exit to leave, then we are trying our best to find it here, and in the end it will only be a waste of time, maybe this is what Murong Feng designed in advance.

"Cui Li, if there is no mechanism here, our situation will be dangerous." I said worriedly.

"What?! Cheng Yin, are you saying that there is no organ to leave here at all, so don't we just ......" Cui Li became more and more anxious the more he said, "There is no exit...... Is Murong Feng deliberately playing tricks on us? Damn ......"

The more Cui Li thought about it, the more angry he became, and walked straight in front of Murong Feng.

"Cui Li, come back!" I shouted loudly.

I'm really speechless, Cui Li's personality has never been stable enough, and now he must be angry. But the problem is that what I said is just my own speculation, and Cui Li rushed to question Murong Feng like this, which will only make our situation worse and worse.

But Cui Li didn't seem to realize this, looking at him like a volcano about to erupt, the magma had already begun to burn, and it could rush out at any moment, leveling everything around him, and I had to find a way to stop him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace to catch up with Cui Li, and before he could speak, I stopped him.

"Cheng ...... Yin ......, you ...... Stop me...... Why? It's clear...... Are you playing ...... We, I...... How can it be ...... Bear it...... This breath? I covered his mouth with my hand, and he said in fits and starts.

I pulled Cui Li aside, but Cui Li looked at me with a reproachful look and said, "What are you stopping me from doing!" It's clear that this old guy is unreasonable first! I'm going to have to ask! ”

Cui Li also felt that he was very reasonable.

"Cui Li, what nerves do you have? What I just said is just my speculation, as for what the truth is, no one can be sure except Murong Feng, you confront him rashly like this, even if it is true, as long as he denies it, you can't do anything about him. But on the contrary, if you provoke him, the glimmer of hope we have will be gone. ”

I signaled Cui Li with my eyes not to be reckless, and it was better not to go to Murong Feng until the matter was clarified.

"But Cheng Yin, this ...... I really can't swallow this anger, and if there is no outlet as you said, won't we never be able to get out? And you also know my character, but this matter is in my heart but I don't want to talk about it, I don't know what to do when I'm uncomfortable. Cui Li slapped himself hard as he spoke, and I could feel the anger in his tone.

"Cui Li, I can understand your feelings, but the more this time, the more calm we have to be. And even if there is no exit to this labyrinth, at least it has an entrance, and we can always find a way to get out of here. However, before we think of a safe way, we must not provoke Murong Feng. I said earnestly.

"But Cheng Yin, this ...... This...... Well, since you've said so, I'll do as you say. Cui Li nodded helplessly.

A volcano that is about to erupt has been prevented by me. Fortunately, the other people didn't notice the change in Cui Li's expression, and they were still persistently looking for clues to leave here. This little crisis can be regarded as coming to an end.

Cui Li calmed down and continued to look for new clues.

Just as I turned around, suddenly a person stood behind me, and this person was Murong Feng.

I didn't even feel his movement, but I reacted to it right away - it was just a holographic projection, and even if it moved, it was only a matter of moments.

"You're smart, but don't put your cleverness on someone else, I said I've always been true to my word, there is indeed a mechanism to leave here, I didn't fool you. But I also want to remind you that it's better not to provoke me, or else you won't exist in this world, and by the way, I'll say it again, I always talk count. I looked at Murong Feng in front of me, and a fear appeared in my heart, he seemed to know our thoughts very well, so it seemed that the confidence on his face was reasonable.

"As I said, we're all going to get out of here. By the way, I'll say one more thing at the end, my words always count. "Soon I regained my self-confidence, I can't just fail like this, I said I must take them and Li Ruina out of here!

"Okay, I appreciate your courage, then I'll wait and see your wonderful performance, I hope you can really be like you say." That's how I knew my life, and I couldn't explain it
