There are still seven days left before the time limit of the second level, unfortunately, Tang Ling and Lu Shang and their group still haven't been able to find the so-called exit, to add insult to injury, they are disappointed to find that with the food in the backpack of the departing person, the food they can have now is no longer enough to support them for another two days. A square biscuit had to be eaten in half, and the water in the kettle was only enough for the cool liquid to touch his lips before he had to stop abruptly.

What makes them more painful than hunger and thirst is to continue to live like a piece of garbage.

The canopy changed back to the sun again, and the night passed in a fog, at nine o'clock in the morning. Tang Ling didn't know if she had slept or not, the blue and black under her eyes were so heavy that she couldn't wipe them off that she couldn't erase them, they were originally scarlet red pupils, and there were a lot of red bloodshots in the whites of her eyes, which looked even more terrifying.

Lu Shang's state is no different from Tang Ling, the same tired state, holding on to his breath to cheer himself up, many nights he has been fighting twelve points to defend against the dangers around him, whenever there is a little trouble, he must take the others to escape. Too little sleep keeps his brain from thinking too much. Fortunately, there is Lu Li by his side, which can still give Lu Shang some motivation to struggle.

The only thing that hasn't changed is Yan Yan, he is like a person from another world, he sleeps at night every day, and during the day he happily follows other emaciated people to move forward, and he will be afraid to scream when he encounters monsters, but other than that, he can't see any worries about the unknown on his face at all, he hangs that smiling face every day, looking around curiously around Tang Ling, and he won't run around, he has always been obedient and has inexhaustible vitality.

"Can we really get out of this damn place?"

It's a new day, two adults, two children, a group of sluggish people, hurriedly wandering in the maze, everyone has no passion to find a way out, they stop in place irritably, Lu Li helped Lu Shang to sit down and rest, raised his head to look at the still dazzling sun, and muttered to himself hopelessly.

Tang Ling leaned on Yan Yan's shoulder, who had moved over her shoulder, she was tired from the nightmares of several days, and after listening to Lu Li's words, she only moved her fingers, but she didn't have the energy to answer.

What is more painful than despair is the hope that there is no accuracy, people will always hold this hope, deceive themselves into thinking that they can solve the dilemma in front of them, as long as they continue to work hard, they will eventually break through the hardships, but the reality is that you fall into the abyss, try to climb back to the ground, and then at a certain time when you don't know it, you step on the air, and then fall deeper into the abyss, and you don't even have a chance to turn over. The reason why despair is desperate is because the gap between hope is too great, and the human will will disintegrate and shatter at the most lax time, and there is not even a scum left.

The fairy tale world, which was pleasant to watch at first, began to get bored as I went deeper and deeper, and those cute flowers would turn into terrifying and bloody baby faces, and those delicately crafted dolls placed in various corners would gnaw at people's flesh and blood, and then turn them into a part of it, full of dangers, and beauty was just an illusion. Just like Zhang Ziang once said: "The more beautiful things are, the dirtier they will be." ”

Tang Ling, who was still leaning on Yan Yan's shoulder and closed her eyes to recuperate, suddenly felt a different aura. She snapped open her eyes, and saw the bodies of monsters that were close at hand, familiar to her, invisible to others. Tang Ling's breath was suffocated, and the whole person sat stiffly in place, causing Yan Yan beside him to look at him suspiciously.

Why do these things keep following her? And more and more? Although she had seen too many of these strange creatures during this time, Tang Ling couldn't help but be suddenly startled, and she watched irritably and fearfully as the monster in front of her slowly moved its bulky body towards the other side of the labyrinth. Their bodies easily pass through the walls of the labyrinth, like the disembodied spirits in the movie, and they can freely move through the brick walls.

The tallest creature passed and left slowly, and then followed it by other smaller monsters, oddly shaped, all sorts of things.

After the guy left completely, Tang Ling seemed to have suddenly learned to breathe, panting heavily, and her back was once again completely wet with cold sweat, mixed with the dried blood clots printed on it, sticky and uncomfortable, and emitting a sour smell. Tang Ling hadn't cleaned her body for a long time, and she was fine on weekdays, so she couldn't notice these strange smells too much, but whenever she was like this, she could smell the stench coming from her body very clearly, as if she had been thrown into a sour garbage heap and soaked for three days and three nights. Tang Ling retched uncontrollably several times, so much so that she couldn't even take a bite of the biscuits handed over by Yan Yan.

"Sister, do you see those monsters that you said we can't see again?" Yan Yan, who was watching Tang Ling beside him and couldn't stop retching, withdrew the biscuit in his hand, kept holding it, and asked Tang Ling.

"Hmm."

Tang Ling's stomach was very empty, she had almost eaten nothing in the past few days, she was retching here for a long time, and it was difficult to even secrete some saliva in her mouth, she symbolically wiped her mouth, nodded towards Yan Yan, and once again refused the biscuits handed over by Yan Yan.

"I don't think those things are going to guide my sister?" Putting the biscuit in his hand into his mouth, Yan Yan chewed with a crunching sound, and then said inadvertently to Tang Ling, "I have watched some cartoons before, and the protagonists with special functions in the cartoons will receive unique guidance and help, and then break through the danger. Someone as powerful as my sister must also be the protagonist! ”

Tang Ling thought about what Yan Yan said, and the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt. Is it really what Yan Yan said? Could it be that her parents are blessing her, so she can see these things that others can't see?

Thinking of this, Tang Ling suddenly felt at ease, and she hurriedly ran to Lu Shang, wanting to tell Lu Shang about her major discovery.

"Shhhh My brother finally fell asleep, let's talk about it later, shall we? Lu Li, who was beside her, looked at Tang Ling, who was struggling with how to organize the language in front of her, and her fingers lightly pressed against her mouth and reminded in a low voice.

What Lu Li didn't say was that she didn't want Lu Shang to listen to Tang Ling anymore, although her idea was a little despicable, but for her, every time Tang Ling suddenly spoke now, it would put them in danger, and many accidents, if there was no Tang Ling, they wouldn't have happened at all. Although she is indeed very grateful to Tang Ling for helping them with her superpowers, she can no longer let Lu Li fully trust, and even hopes a little viciously that Tang Ling still maintains the taciturn appearance of dying a few days ago, and it is safest not to say anything.

Tang Ling nodded when she heard this, then walked back to Yan Yan's side in a low voice, sat down again, leaned her head against the hard wall with some frustration, and then kept staring at Lu Shang, waiting for him to open his eyes.

"What sound?"

The surroundings slowly quieted down, and it seemed that only Tang Ling and a few of them were left in the labyrinth, and when everyone was sitting in place and doing nothing to empty their minds, Lu Li was drowsy, but he suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears, very close to them, as if he deliberately made a movement, just to attract the attention of others.

It is rare to have such a big movement during the day, Lu Li glanced at Lu Shang, who was still closed, and the two children in front of him who also heard the movement, she gestured to them not to move, then picked up the long knife, slowly got up, and groped towards the place where the sound was moving.

The sky is still bright, and it will be bright for a long time, so in this kind of area with a bright view, you can feel more secure than at night. The strange sound was like someone cutting a wall with a knife, and when I was a child, when the family was killing pigs for the New Year, my father would put the knife on the stone and sharpen it, and then it seemed that someone was tearing the cloth. Lu Li lifted his spirits, and slowly moved his steps vigilantly, looking back and forth when he took a step, worried that there would be any unexpected situation.

It is undeniable that this movement is coming towards a few of them, and it is more likely that someone has laid some tempting trap and is waiting for them. When Lu Li began to move towards that movement, the voice disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and now she just turned a corner, and Lu Li stopped in place.

Did the initiators try to disperse them? Lu Li frowned, and slowly retreated to go back to find Lu Shang and them, but the back of his neck was suddenly pierced by something, and a numbing pain came, very weak, and there was no substantial damage. Lu Li covered the back of his neck and felt his small wound, and blood beads came out.

Gotta go back quickly.

Lu Li hurriedly turned around, and the whole person was stunned.

"Baby, what are you looking at? It's time to change your shoes, wash your hands and eat! "A woman wearing home clothes and an apron around her waist, with occasional strands of silver on her jet-black hair, a finely crafted wooden hairpin combed them to the back of her head and coiled into a ball, the wooden hairpin is her favorite jewelry, which Lu Li spent more than half a month groping to make, and the first handicraft item given to her. The hands that had just been rinsed with water wiped indiscriminately on the apron, the wrinkled but still delicate face, the corners of his mouth were raised, he looked at Lu Li with joy, and urged lovingly.

Lu Li hurriedly looked down at herself, the long knife in her hand was gone, she was dirty, and the smelly sportswear became the ugly school uniform she hated the most when she was a student, and her feet were wearing her favorite sneakers, she suddenly felt a heavy back at this time, and the schoolbag full of materials and volumes, although she would not open it at all, but every time she went home, she would fill it with bulging bags, eager to stuff all the books into it, and then let her back be pressed like a rickety old man, to crawl forward.

The woman helped Lu Li take off the schoolbag on her back, and when she took this behemoth, she stumbled a little, weighing the weight of the hand she had received, and the woman was distressed: "Every time you come back with such a book, and then you don't read it, why are you carrying so many books?" Do you have to press your back into a little old man at a young age to be willing? ”

"Mom?" Lu Li muttered in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"What's wrong? Hurry up and take off your shoes, change your slippers and go to the toilet to wash your hands and eat, and your sneakers are so dirty, I'll wash them for you later. The woman dragged the heavy schoolbag to the living room with difficulty, put it on the sofa, then turned her head, looked at Lu Li still standing at the door stupidly, and asked a little strangely: "Why haven't you entered the house yet?" The meal will be cold later! ”

"Okay."

After Lu Li heard this, he seemed to wake up suddenly, nodded hastily, and then quickly took off his shoes, took out his slippers from the shoe cabinet, and then walked into this familiar and unfamiliar home, obviously the fire swallowed them up, but now they appeared in front of them as new, as always.

It's like the woman in front of her, who was obviously locked up in that ward, and could no longer open her bright eyes to look at her, and could not use her bright red lips to show concern or blame her, but now she was wearing the home clothes she was never willing to throw away at home, cooked her meal, waited for her to enter the house, and stood in front of her vividly and brightly.

Lu Li couldn't help it anymore, looking at the woman who was close at hand like an illusion and opened her hands towards her, Lu Li's tears burst out of her eyes, she choked up, and slowly opened her arms to the woman who was always watching her growth with love, buried in her arms, smelled the fragrance of the laundry detergent that she always carried on her body, listened to her soft voice in her ear, and cried willfully like a child.

I miss you so much, Mom.
