Chapter 502 Red Wine Beef Stew
Whether it's a maze or a game, the most unsettling thing is that some of the players in the group have ulterior motives, which makes it hard to guard against.
Du Lai was camping so close, so it was obvious that he was going to enter the maze.
The delay in taking action may be due to hesitation in his heart as he said, but Bai Youwei felt that he was more likely waiting for a scapegoat or a back-up.
After all, everything about the maze is unknown now. If you want to get clues, filling them in with your life is the easiest way.
Bai Youwei didn't want to have to guard against such people after entering the maze. It would be too energy-consuming.
And his so-called "girlfriend" also made her care.
"Maybe if we go in with the front foot, they will follow with the rear foot." Bai Youwei frowned in annoyance, "It's so annoying, why did we meet him..."
Shen Mo parked the car aside and said calmly: "Du Lai is an opportunist. If everything goes well in the maze, he may be willing to live in peace with us and help each other, but if something happens to us in the maze, he will be exposed. If we are at a disadvantage, he will definitely put his interests first and make things worse for us."
Bai Youwei frowned and nodded, "That's right...so the timing of entering the maze is very important——
Let them go ahead, I am worried that they will deliberately hide the clue after discovering it;
Let them go behind, I am worried that if something happens they will catch up and pick up the leak;
I would still be worried if I go with them..."
If she met someone else, Bai Youwei might not have so many worries. The main thing is that Du Lai really can't make people feel at ease.
Just thinking about how he stole so many people's puzzles, his character and methods are evident.
"Now that we have encountered it, there is no way to avoid it." Shen Mo said calmly, "Enter the maze at night while they are asleep."
——Spend time entering the maze and try to avoid direct contact.
"That's all we have to do." Bai Youwei curled her lips, a little unhappy, "It feels like we are giving in."
"It's important to find Su Man. There's no need to fight with them. Besides..." Shen Mo glanced at the tent over there, "If I'm not mistaken, when the woman turned to look at us just now, her shoulders didn't move."
Bai Youwei was puzzled at first, then slowly opened her eyes.
When a person turns his head, his shoulders will shift accordingly, making it impossible for him to remain motionless, unless he is a robot.
"You mean..." Bai Youwei leaned close to Shen Mo's ear, "Du Lai's girlfriend is not a human being?"
"Yan Qingwen was able to get the steel puppet. It's not surprising that Du Lai got a similar doll." Shen Mo said.
Bai Youwei exclaimed: "But she spoke just now..."
The puppet doll can't speak for itself, can it?
Shen Mo smiled, raised his hand and rubbed her head, "I'm just suspicious. In short, it's safer to stay away from them."
Bai Youwei thought about it for a while, not caring that her hair was messed up, and nodded: "Let's have a good rest in that moment, and then set off after replenishing our energy."
…
Shen Mo and Bai Youwei pretended to set up a tent and lit a bonfire. Then they took out the dinner cooked by Teacher Cheng from the doll house and ate while warming themselves.
Night fell, and the surrounding area quickly turned into darkness, with only two bonfires burning quietly on the roadside.
Du Lai was also having dinner.
The food was much simpler than that of Bai Youwei and Shen Mo. He was holding a few dry and hard buns in his hand, and there were instant noodles beside him, but he didn't cook them because that would require an extra pot to boil water, which Du Lai found troublesome.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were eating beef stew with red wine.
