Chapter 678 There Is Still Hope

Although I understand that I need to take a good rest, I can't relax mentally.

All day long, Asalina and Alon stayed in the living room watching over Qing.

Ah Qing's body was always wet. At first, everyone thought he was sweating, but later they discovered that it was water, water with a fishy smell.

The sofa was soaked with moisture after just a few minutes of lying on it, so they had to move him back to the fireplace and bake him close to the fire to try to keep him dry.

Ah Qing was half-conscious and kept asking for water.

I'm getting more and more unconscious...

…

At night, Teacher Cheng led Pan Xiaoxin upstairs to rest. Only Asalina, Alon and Aqing were in the living room.

Bai Youwei sat at the dining table, calculating something with pen and paper.

This maze was unusual for her, so she was very cautious and did not want to miss any opportunity to discover clues.

On the draft paper, she marked the opening of the initial entrance as the "mother cave." The remaining seven holes are from left to right, from sub-hole No. 1 to sub-hole No. 7.

She always believed that there was a certain pattern among the seven holes. As long as she found the right pattern, she would be able to get out. Now, regardless of whether it goes forward or backward, rightly or wrongly, the fishing boat will eventually return to the mother cave, which is a bit like a space jump.

Unfortunately, there was too little information. If she could get into the hole twice more, maybe she could figure out the key.

It's just that Aqing has become like this... I'm afraid Asalina has no intention of looking for clues now, right?

Thinking of this, Bai Youwei sighed silently in her heart.

Her legs gained feeling after the first maze, and she could walk with difficulty after the second maze. As long as she went through the maze upgrade again, she might be able to return to normal.

...Is she too cold-blooded? When Qing was like this, she still thought about her legs.

After all, they were not her companions. Even if something happened, she would only sympathize with them, unable to personally understand the pain of Asalina and Aaron at the moment.

Bai Youwei looked at the draft paper in front of her in trance.

Human beings are really complex creatures. Sometimes they can shed tears for the tragic experiences of others, and sometimes... they can also show their selfishness and indifference to the fullest.

Asalina walked over slowly, picked up the scratch paper on the table and looked at it. There were some numbers and messy graphics.

"Did you find anything?" she asked in a low voice.

Bai Youwei slowly shook her head, "I have several guesses, but they all need to be verified."

There were several low whines coming from the living room, and the two of them ran away after hearing the sound. It was Ah Qing murmuring in his sleep.

He lay curled up by the fireplace, one side of his body dry, the other wet, his body secreting fluids.

Perhaps because of the cold, his limbs bound by ropes twitched occasionally, and he muttered nonsense.

Aaron was already exhausted and fell asleep heavily on the sofa.

"Will he get better?" Asalina looked at A Qing and murmured, not knowing whether she was asking Bai Youwei or talking to herself.

Bai Youwei lowered her eyes and remained silent.

She is pessimistic about this.

Judging from the experience of the two previous mazes, the maze has the characteristic of swallowing losers.

She still remembers the dolls embedded in the walls in the mirror maze. I also remember the man in the Snake Maze, whose body merged with the maze.

Now that Ah Qing has become like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to get better...

"Go to rest early." Bai Youwei said in a low voice, "If we can leave the maze, maybe upgrading the maze can cure him."

This sentence gave Asalina hope. She looked at Bai Youwei and nodded: "You are right. As long as we can leave the maze, A Qing will still be saved."

The premise is that Aqing can persist until the moment they go out.
