Although Qin Ming wanted to use the fastest speed to rush back to the place where he was separated from everyone.

But because of the length of the fork in the road, and his physical exhaustion, it took him more than three hours to return to the fork in the road where the people had originally separated.

Because they had agreed that whoever had completed the exploration of a fork in the road would return here to exchange information, and it was good to determine whether anyone had found an exit.

He had just come out of the fork in the road, at the fork in the road where they had first separated.

I saw Su Zhan walking out of another fork in the road.

"I've found the exit."

Seeing Su Zhan come out, Qin Ming was about to say that he had found the exit, but Su Zhan preemptively told him what he was looking for.

Qin Ming looked at Su Zhan with some confusion, and asked uncertainly:

"Are you sure you're finding the exit?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Zhan felt that Qin Ming's question was a little inexplicable.

"Because I also found an exit.

It's just that the door to the exit is locked, and you have to have a key to open it. ”

"Is it this kind of door?"

Su Zhan opened a photo in the album of his phone, and then showed it to Qin Ming.

"It's exactly the same." After Qin Ming saw it, he nodded a little confused.

"It doesn't seem that simple."

Su Zhan put the phone back in his pocket, and then said to Qin Ming:

"The door I found was also locked."

"Are there two exits?"

The young man shook his head uncertainly, obviously planning to wait for Yi Shaodong and them to come back.

didn't let them wait too long, Yi Shaodong walked out of the fork in the road humming a song.

It seems that the mood is not ordinary, good.

Seeing Su Zhan and Qin Ming waiting outside with sad faces, he said proudly:

"What's wrong, guys? I heard that it was in vain?

But it doesn't matter, because Brother Dong has found something here.

I found the exit to the labyrinth.

Just ask you if you are better than cows, do you accept it?

It's not difficult at all, just walk casually, and when you reach the end, you find that it's the exit.

You say it's a coincidence. ”

Yi Shaodong finished speaking energetically, but found that Qin Ming and Su Zhan didn't react at all, which couldn't help but make him feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't just watch me pretend to be quiet, give me some feedback, okay?

Don't be co-starring when you turn a blind eye. ”

"The exit you found was a locked door, right?"

Qin Ming asked in response at this time.

"Damn, how do you know?"

"Because Su Zhan and I have also discovered the so-called "exit" in your mouth. ”

Qin Ming said it, both helpless and funny.

Obviously, all three of them wanted to pretend at first, but neither of them pretended to understand.

"No, you're not kidding me, are you? You also have an exit over there? Yi Shaodong still didn't believe it after hearing this.

"Su Zhan has a photo in his phone, do you want to confirm it?"

"You've said that, that's a fart.

Grass, I thought I had found an exit.

No wonder the door is locked, it's been a long time, Bai TM's happy singing is out of tune. ”

Yi Shaodong felt that this fact was a little hurtful.

Although An Zili and Shen Xue have not come out yet, the three of them have found a closed gate at the end of the selected fork in the road, which is actually very revealing.

It shows that at the end of other forks in the road, there will be similar gates.

And with that a new question arises.

Is that the way out of this labyrinth, is it to find the key to open the door, or is there another real exit, hidden in those forks?

This may be a problem that they need to consider at the moment.

Yi Shaodong then sat down against the wall and rested, just like Qin Ming and Su Zhan.

Waiting for An Zili and Shen Xue to come out.

The three of them sat outside and waited for more than an hour before An Zili took Shen Xue, who was stumbling to walk, out of the fork in the road.

"Don't sleep, An Zili and they are out."

Qin Ming pushed, and next to him, Yi Shaodong was snoring like thunder.

After calling for a long time, Yi Shaodong reluctantly opened his eyes.

Subsequently, they also asked Shen Xue and An Zili about what they found, and the result was the same as Qin Ming had thought before.

An Zili: They also found a closed gate that looked like an exit.

It's just that compared to them, An Zili tried to pick the lock with a key.

"You said you tried to pick the lock with a key? Those keys that were in the prison before? ”

"yes, I took it because I wanted to keep a souvenir.

But the key shouldn't be right, because I tried so many times and couldn't open the door. ”

An Zili also looked a little lost after speaking.

"The keys in the prison should all be the same.

If you can't open it, you can't do the other keys either. ”

After Su Zhannian finished speaking, Yi Shaodong said beside him:

"That means we're going to have to go from fork in the road until we find the real exit.

But we've been using it for so long, and we haven't even finished exploring the main road.

And the forks in the road below the main road are too many to count, even if we walk without sleep, I am afraid that we will not be able to finish it for days and nights. ”

"Actually, I think so, too.

I don't think we can do it at all, go through all the forks in the road.

Physically, I can't support it, and I can't support it mentally. ”

An Zili and Yi Shaodong have the same opinion, and they both feel that it is not a way to find this.

"According to you, we should not continue to search for a fork in the road, but for a key that will open the lock.

Is that so? ”

Su Zhan looked at An Zili and Yi Shaodong and asked uncertainly.

"I don't know."

An Zili had no idea at this time.

As for Yi Shaodong, he didn't speak.

"Do you have a better proposal?"

Su Zhan asked Qin Ming again.

"Actually, I've seen a key.

But there's almost no way we can get the key. ”

Qin Ming remembered the key that hung around the monster's neck.

"It's the one the monster is wearing."

Su Zhan obviously noticed the key around the monster's neck at that time.

"Monster with a key around his neck? How I don't know. When Yi Shaodong heard Su Zhan and Qin Ming's words, he was completely confused.

"Of course the idiots don't notice."

Su Zhan ridiculed Yi Shaodong, and even with An Zili and Shen Xue blushing.

Apparently, they didn't pay attention to what the monster was wearing around its neck at the time.

Su Zhan continued at this time:

"We now have two options to consider.

The first option is to continue to walk on a fork in the road until you find the real exit.

However, it is not excluded that there is no such thing as a real export.

The second option is to find a way to get the key to the monster.

Thus trying to pick the lock.

But if we do, we may all be wiped out.

And even if you get the key, you may not be able to open the closed door. ”

"Snatching the key from the monster's neck, isn't that looking for death?

Besides, we don't even know where the monster is, so we're still going to find it.

If you look at it this way, it seems that it is more prudent to maintain the previous policy.

Even if we searched all the forks in the road, we couldn't find the exit.

We can also go back and look into the key to the monster.

It's not a delay. Yi Shaodong felt that he had helped everyone and made the most correct choice.

As a result, before he could be complacent, Su Zhan immediately poured a basin of cold water on him and retorted:

"When thinking about things, you shouldn't just think about the good situation, but first and foremost consider the worst outcome.

According to our previous exploration of the fork in the road, even if we walk without sleep, I am afraid it will take at least three days to complete the exploration of all the forks under the three main roads.

But obviously we can't sleep without sleep, and we definitely have to rest in between.

Then the time for this exploration will continue to be extended.

With our current physical condition and mental condition, let alone three days, it is difficult to persist even for two days.

Even if we take a step back and say that we can really persevere, but if we don't find the open door in these forks in the road, what will we rely on to snatch the monster from us who are exhausted by then?

Not to mention practically impossible, not even theoretically possible.

So while we are still able to move, we can only choose one of them in a desperate way.

There is simply no way to have the best of both worlds. ”

Yi Shaodong was choked by Su Zhan's words, but thinking about it, it was indeed the case.

If you want to grasp it with both hands, it is impossible to leave your choice behind.

"So how do you choose?

Both seem likely, but both are uncertain. ”

Yi Shaodong grabbed his hair a little tangled, and then simply shook it off:

"You're all smarter than me, you decide, I'll follow suit."

"Why does the school have to treat us like this...... Even if it is a test, there should be a limit! ”

The more Shen Xue listened, the more panicked she became, the reason why they came out so slowly was not because An Zili tried to use the key to open the door and delayed the time, but because she couldn't hold on and wanted to give up.

For her, the experience of these few days was really a nightmare, it was too torturous, too tormenting.

Especially when you have to gamble with your life for every choice.

She really can't stand it anymore!

Shen Xue cried again, An Zili may have been comforted too many times, and now he is a little tired and doesn't want to say anything.

After all, she can't even protect herself at the moment, and she has no extra energy to spend on others.

"I don't think it's very likely that the school will kill us.

So, I'll go for all the forks in the road.

Otherwise, even if we can really snatch the key from the monster, it will be difficult for us to escape to the place where the lock is opened. ”

Although An Zili's words indicated her choice, Qin Ming's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she suddenly said to everyone:

"I think there may be a third possibility."

(Starting next week, the new book will be updated twice a day until it hits the shelves.) There will be three updates after it is put on the shelves. ）
