Chapter 44: The Hunter and the Prey
Mu Zilei, who was nervous about the wooden leg bands in his heart, opened his eyes suddenly, and then coughed violently, and the pain on his body really told him that he had "returned" again inexplicably.
Mu Shan, who was moving forward, was stunned, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the rest of the people didn't expect Mu Zilei to wake up so suddenly.
If what he "saw" and "heard" just now was true, then the person in front of him was going to destroy his wooden leg band, but he was in a coma just now, and now that he has woken up, do they still insist on doing that?
As if answering Mu Zilei's question, Mu Yun exchanged glances with his brother, and seeing the latter nodding, Mu Zilei knew that things had reached the point where there was no turnaround.
In the midst of despair, the sound of gears turning.
Mu Zilei knew that the only chance to escape came, and he decided to gamble again.
"Wait a minute," his words stopped Mushan's approaching footsteps, "what else do you want to do to me?"
"Half-human, you were unlucky to meet us, if you were willing to obey at the beginning, we might have spared you by beating you up," Mu Shan sneered, "But now, we plan to leave you some other profound lessons." ”
"Oh, well, let me guess that the profound lesson you are talking about should refer to my wooden leg hoops," Mu Zilei said pretending to be relaxed, "Here, I don't need it anyway." ”
As he spoke, he handed the backpack to Mu Shan in its entirety.
"Take it, it's too heavy to carry behind you," he said nonchalantly, "I still have several sets of these wooden leg bands in my bedroom, and I don't care if I have one less." ”
This time Mu Shan hesitated, it was this period of delay, and the expected darkness came as promised.
As the light changed, there were also two walls of the passage, and those in it could clearly feel the walls moving.
"Everyone, guard your position, don't let our little hedgehog run away. Mu Yun's voice came from the darkness, but it didn't seem to be necessary, because the walls on both sides were not expanding outward, but moving closer to the middle, and the passage that could originally accommodate four or five people walking side by side gradually narrowed to a width that could only accommodate two people side by side.
Darkness came and went, and in a moment the passage regained its dim light.
Everyone did not believe what they saw, and the "prey" they surrounded disappeared as if carried away by the darkness.
"Where did the people go?" Mu Shan lost his bearings, "It was clearly in front of my eyes just now!"
The rest of the people looked at each other, and only Mu Yun thought calmly.
"Brother, let's split up, he's so badly injured, he won't be able to run far. Mu Shan said as he wanted to leave from one end of the passage with his team.
"Slow!" Mu Yun stopped, "We have sealed the passage on both sides from the beginning, and the passage has become narrower, and he has suffered a lot of injuries, it is impossible for him to run away from our heavy encirclement quietly, the only possibility is ......"
He looked up, and the others suddenly realized that they were looking up.
Some water droplets of wine fell on their masks and hair, why did it rain in the labyrinth?
"Haha," a cheerful voice came from overhead, "I've been holding this pee for a long time, I hope you guys will like it!"
"You ......" The people of the Star Tower Class took off their masks one after another to dodge, and they were in a mess for a while, and the twins were the focus of "care", their whole bodies were splashed with urine, and they stared at the figure on the top of the wall with resentful eyes.
For a moment, Mu Zilei didn't know whether their cursing and vomiting were more pleasant, or whether their expressions were more pleasant at the moment!
He took advantage of the fact that they took off their masks, tried his best to memorize their appearance, and made special efforts to the short-haired girl named Reiko who said that he wanted to teach Shadow Dance a lesson, the big worm with a thin voice, and the pair of twins named Muyun Mushan, so that he could thank them for their "courtesy" in the future.
At the beginning, Mu Zilei originally planned to use the darkness that followed after the gear turned, and took the drop jade that had been hanging on his chest in his mouth, and forced his way out in the dark, but later he noticed that the two walls were gradually narrowing, so he immediately changed his strategy and climbed up with both hands and feet supporting the wall, of course, during this escape, his drop jade has not left his mouth.
"Don't be too happy!" At this time, Mu Yun had already thrown down the mask stained with urine, and even Mu Shan sensed the rare anger of his twin brother. The former quickly glanced at the man in front of him, and at the same time, quietly gestured backwards with his hand, and the two outermost boys understood, took a few steps back without a trace, and then quietly climbed up the walls on either side.
"This wall is four or five meters high, to say the least, if I were you, I would hurry down while the two walls have not been removed again, otherwise you will be isolated on the wall, waiting for the patrolling teacher to come and rescue you," his old lazy tone was gone, replaced by a light and sharp one, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that your other signal stone is still in my hand." ”
Growing so big, how could Mu Yun suffer such treatment as being urinated in public, and he was still a half-human, which was a great shame!
"I never thought of asking the teacher to help me come down," the other party's small actions did not hide from Mu Zilei, he knew that his enemy was delaying time and distracting him, why didn't he have the same purpose, at this moment, he had already spit out drops of jade, but the warm current formed in his body was constantly washing and moisturizing his injuries, "I don't have the idea of going down so soon, after all, it's not easy to climb up." ”
He suddenly remembered the words engraved on the door when he entered the labyrinth:
"Life is a labyrinth of good and evil, and the further you go, the more you confuse yourself. ”
Yes, at this moment he began to be confused, what is the so-called good and evil? Who is righteous and who is evil? Who can truly represent justice, and who must be an evil person all his life?
The water in the mud pit can still reflect light and darkness, and the little games in this huge maze reflect the good and evil of human nature.
The people at present, they cling to the mask of gods, wearing the cloak of so-called justice, but doing despicable and dirty things, the so-called sanctimony, is nothing more than that.
And what about himself, although he wears a hideous mask that represents evil, but ask yourself, he has never been like them to calculate others all the time, and he is cruel and ruthless to others. It's like although he has been wearing the mask of "Disaster Star" since he was a child, he has never thought of harming anyone under the mask!
From the beginning, he just planned to go out through the center of the maze with the ghost tiger, success is gratifying, failure does not matter, even if he was surrounded and had no way to escape, he was just for self-preservation, voluntarily handed over his black mask, never this unfair game is one thing, until step by step inadvertently broke the treacherous plan of Xingtaban, his mentality has changed a big way.
If you are oppressed and do not know how to resist, you would rather die!
Whether it was for himself and the ghost tiger, to let Ouyang Jie's treacherous plan fail, or to seek justice for the cold outside and hot inside Shadow Dance, or even indirectly to fight for Duanmu An, who had been bullied, he had no reason to escape, and the only way was to face them head-on.
At this time, the two people from the Star Tower Class finally climbed to the high wall, their eyes locked on Mu Zilei, and they cautiously attacked back and forth step by step.
"I advise you to come down obediently," the corners of Mu Yun's mouth curled up with a touch of contempt, he had already come up with several torture methods to deal with this person who had humiliated him, to ensure that his fate would not be worse than falling on that sadistic 'mad spirit' army, "Otherwise, it is not a joke to fall down." ”
The round-up on the high wall was already very close to the target, and they could immediately start the siege as soon as the people below gave the order.
"Leave that to your companions. Mu Zilei covered the mask.
He was condescending, his black mask with hideous features like an emperor staring at the people under the walls.
"From this moment on," he said, "the game of hunting between us has only just begun." ”
Then, he turned. In a stunned gaze and exclamation, he jumped, and his words resounded in the air, echoing throughout the labyrinth.
"However, this time you are the prey, and I am the hunter!"
