The door to the second floor, though rusty, was still as heavy as the previous ones—nay, probably heavier than the previous ones. It seems that Liang Jingmo, who passed here one step ahead of him, did not spare any strength when he closed the door, in order to create obstacles for him.

Fortunately, Xiang Nanxing's remaining strength was enough to open it.

When the relatively fresh air poured in from the side of the door, Xiang Nanxing and Nangong Yundie both seemed to have regained their vitality all of a sudden, and they quickly squeezed sideways through the half-open door, and then worked together to quickly close the door, leaving the air full of formalin-scented air on the opposite side.

When they had done that, they all let out a long breath, as if to spit out the air in their lungs, and then opened their mouths wide again, greedily breathing in the musty smell of the air here. Fortunately, Nangong Yundie told him that there was no pickup equipment on this floor, so now he didn't have to worry about what sound he made when he breathed heavily or sat down hard.

Xiang Nanxing inhaled heavily, counted silently in his heart for ten seconds, felt that his limbs were gradually regaining strength, and subconsciously leaned against the wall to stand up and walk forward. It was just at the moment when he just put his hand on the wall and was about to exert his strength that he caught a glimpse of the little girl next to him out of the corner of his eye, she was leaning against the corner of the wall gasping for breath, her head was lowered, her slender arms were hanging down to her side, and only her fingers were still trembling slightly, like a doll that had suddenly lost all her strength.

In fact, when he turned the valve just now, Xiang Nanxing had already felt that Nangong Yundie's body had been trembling slightly, as if she was close to the edge of physical exhaustion, and after opening the door, she continued to enter the door, and the series of actions of closing the door directly hollowed out the little strength left in her body.

Perhaps the biggest reason for her physical exhaustion is not the lack of oxygen. Although it was two people sharing the air in that space, the oxygen consumption rate would be faster than when one person was in power, but until they started to open the door, although Xiang Nanxing, who theoretically consumed more oxygen, felt uncomfortable, it was far from serious enough to be unable to move, and Nangong Yundie, who was much petite, was not so tired as to be so tired.

In retrospect, the first time she felt tired was after saying those words, and before that it was Xiang Nanxing who woke her up, reminding her that it was a dereliction of duty to be locked out of the target. After that, her breathing gradually became rapid, and her face looked somewhat ugly - it seemed that it was Xiang Nanxing's reminder that made her think of her situation, and then perhaps because of her strong self-esteem and inability to accept mistakes, or out of fear of harsh house rules, she obviously became very nervous, and the slight hypoxia reaction was magnified by her tenfold, resulting in a completely weak state at this time.

If she wants to say it, she is like this now, and Xiang Nanxing herself is somewhat responsible.

"Don't worry, just rest for a while."

He let go of his hand, let his back slowly slide down the wall, and sat back on the floor: "This passage is long enough, and there is enough oxygen in it to breathe for a while, so there is no need to rush to the next section." ”

Nangong Yundie nodded indifferently, and then suddenly turned her head to look at him strangely: "Is this okay, uncle?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you in a hurry? Want to catch up with the guy in front of you? ”

"In a hurry, this ...... It's not too rushed, is it? Xiang Nanxing smiled, "Why do you feel this way?" ”

The little girl smiled too. "Because I've been hiding behind, I saw the guy who came in with you, and I saw him go first, so there must be some reason for this." She explained, "Another thing is, uncle, when you look at the second layer of the map, it is obviously a very complicated and troublesome pattern, but you show a little relieved." ”

Xiang Nanxing let out an "oh", his expression was calm, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. Although Nangong Yundie has always been innocent and a little ignorant of the world, her observation and reasoning skills are not weak at all in these leapfrog thinking. Just by seeing Xiang Nanxing's expression and a little details of the cause and effect, she could deduce that he wanted to catch up with the person before, so she didn't feel troublesome after seeing the complexity of the maze, but felt that she could buy time and breathe a sigh of relief.

This level of insight and reaction speed is almost close to some of the hosts that Xiang Nanxing has seen. And the one who did this was just a teenager. Such a strong contrast either means that Nangong Yundie actually has enough super acting skills to hide from Xiang Nanxing, or it shows that the Nangong family does have a deep relationship and extremely effective education methods in these fields, and even a little girl can be taught to this extent.

It's kind of scary. Xiang Nanxing thought secretly.

Just when he felt a little weak, Nangong Yundie suddenly leaned over, raised his head and looked at him directly with those clear eyes: "Speaking of which, what are you doing here?" I've always been curious. ”

Are you going to lie? Or is it ......

In Xiang Nanxing's mind, such a thought flashed, but he looked at those eyes and finally decided to take a gamble.

"Honestly, we're supposed to be here to kill him." He told the truth, "Kill your client." ”

His body tensed subconsciously for a moment, and then slowly relaxed under the guidance of his will. If Nangong Yundie's previous acts were all acting skills and lies, then as Xiang Nanxing completely clarified the contradictions, no matter how forbearant she was, she should do something.

On the contrary, if it is really like Xiang Nanxing's feelings......

"Ah, I see. No wonder I feel murderous as soon as you come in. ”

Nangong Yundie nodded, turned around easily, and looked like her curiosity was satisfied. Although he didn't expect her to react like this, but when he actually saw it, Xiang Nanxing still felt a little speechless: "Hey, you're so calm?" Don't you have anything to say? ”

"There's nothing to be shocked about, is there? They all said that I am not a bodyguard, but only responsible for confirming the status of life and death. Nangong Yundie also looked at him speechlessly, "But I'm still a little strange, if you all came here for this, why do you have to go your separate ways now...... Yes! I get it! ”

Her eyes widened, as if suddenly she realized: "I understand, you guys are competing, see who can win first!" ”

"That's it." Xiang Nanxing was not easy to explain, so he simply nodded along with her words - he couldn't say in front of her that one was deciding to really kill, and the other wanted to play some tricks to deceive the Nangong family.

If Liang Jingmo was here, maybe he could really say such a thing, after all, it didn't matter to him that Dao Po was broken, but it might interfere with Xiang Nanxing's plan. But then again, if the two really switch places, that Nanxing's fake death plan may have another chance. After all, Nangong Yundie, who is responsible for confirming life and death, has already left the target's side, if he can contact the target himself one step earlier and communicate well, maybe there will still be a chance to cooperate and create a fake death scene that is enough to hide from the world.

It's a pity that everything is not as good as it should be now. The one who had the opportunity to take Nangong Yundie and delay time was Xiang Nanxing, who was bent on saving his life. And the one who took the first step and was able to move freely for the time being was Liang Jingmo, who decided to kill people and break the game.

Fate played a joke on him, but it was another person's life.

Xiang Nanxing pursed his lips, shook these negative thoughts out of his mind, and diverted the topic: "So if you want to talk about being in a hurry, I do have a little bit." Can you go now? ”

"Rest."

Nangong Yundie shook her head, and jumped up directly from the ground with both hands. "Let's go!" She said energetically, "Where are you going now?" Is there a third basement? ”

"If nothing else, I should be there." Xiang Nanxing muttered, "The first layer has no defense except for these doors, and the second layer has directly become a maze, if you want to talk about defense, you can't let people enter the next layer." So the safest place to sum up should be the third layer, and there is no need to play any reverse thinking against us intruders who don't know the details, if it is me, it will stay there...... Well. ”

He nodded, turned to look at Nangong Yundie, and it happened that the other party was also looking at him silently. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then asked in unison, "Didn't you lead the way?" ”

Xiang Nanxing's heart faintly passed a hint of foreboding: "Didn't you explore the road once and draw a map?" ”

"That's right." Nangong Yundie nodded honestly, "I did remember the route, but didn't I show you all the drawings just now." I usually don't remember it after I've finished drawing, as if I've been erased by an eraser, making room for my memories later. ”

"Remember when you say you remember, forget when you say you forget, the human brain still has such a magical function......"

Xiang Nanxing didn't know what to say. He had really tried to memorize the map just now, but it took a lot of time to memorize even the main part of the route for such a complicated route, and the short meeting just now was completely insufficient. Looking back now, Xiang Nanxing can only vaguely remember its vague shape, and there are still many things to correct before he can actually walk up.

However, he can only go - and I hope Liang Jingmo wastes more time in this level.

"I try to walk from memory, and if I see anything that comes to mind along the way, you must tell me."

He stopped dwelling and strode forward.

Just as Xiang Nanxing began to turn the valve and open the door to enter the second layer of the labyrinth, Liang Jingmo, who was in another place on this floor, was also doing something similar. At this time, he turned the valve with great difficulty, and used the power of the gears to open a small gap in the door in front of him. When the gap was large enough to fit into the palm of his hand, he didn't pull the door open as before, but leaned over to the crack of the door first, peeking inside through this little space.

"Hmph, it's a dead end again."

After seeing the shape of the corner, based on experience, Liang Jingmo immediately knew that he was on the wrong path again. He immediately turned around, wanting to quickly leave to try the one next to him, but at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several strange utensils.

Liang Jingmo was excited, turned around and put his eyes on the crack of the door again.

His shoulders froze. The things in his eyes made his face turn blue in an instant.
