Chapter 810 Replica
The group of people retreated back to the stone room just now.
Bai Youwei said: "Back off again."
Asalina said: "If you continue to retreat, you should return to the mural."
Bai Youwei nodded, "Back off."
They continued to return the same way, but this time, they saw no murals, no iron doors, no 12 locks, no pillars, nothing, just an empty stone room.
Everyone realized something was wrong. They were clearly going back the way they came. The place they returned to was not the place they started.
Is the direction confused? Or is there another mystery inside the stone chamber?
Du Lai held the flashlight and looked carefully along each stone brick, tapping lightly to see if there was any mechanism.
Shen Mo leaned his head against the stone wall, frowned and listened for a while, then gestured to Du Lai to stop: "There seems to be something nearby."
Everyone fell silent, pressed against the wall, and listened attentively.
It was like the breathing of some kind of beast... huff, huff, very thick and heavy, accompanied by heavy footsteps, one after another, coming along the cold stone wall...
For a moment, a huge monster with a head and a human body appeared in everyone's mind.
"There was obviously no sound just now." Du Lailai looked at Bai Youwei, "Could it be that... this monster is looking for us?"
Everyone's nerves suddenly became tense.
When they first entered the maze, they stayed in the room with the mural for a long time and listened carefully to the movement of the four doors. There was no sound. Now that there was a sound, did it mean that the monster was approaching them?
Bai Youwei thought for a while, "...In myths and legends, the Minotaur will eat humans as tributes. Maybe while we are looking for the key, the Minotaur is also looking for us. We must avoid it as much as possible."
She looked at the door she retreated to again, "But what's more important now is determining the direction."
If they can't determine the direction, they may keep wandering here.
Shen Mo took out the compass and looked at it - if the compass was OK, the door they exited from just now, which is the direction pointed by the third mural, is due east.
"Do you want to change direction?" Du Lai asked.
The two stone chambers to the east were exactly the same, so it was probably impossible to get through them.
Bai Youwei looked at Shen Mo and asked, "Let's see if we can carve words and make marks on the wall."
Shen Mo nodded, took off the paper doll from his wrist, turned it into a dagger, found a place on the wall, and carved a "Z".
Then, they opened the south door, which was still an empty stone chamber.
Bai Youwei took out two used batteries from her bag, placed them upright in the middle of the stone room, and then asked everyone to return to the room again.
The wheezing sound became more and more obvious, as if it was very close, and you could hear it clearly without pressing your ears against the wall.
The wheezing sound was accompanied by a low growl, huffing... huffing...
The steps were impatient and heavy, bang bang... bang bang...
Chen Hui couldn't help but shrank closer to Leonid, staring at the north door with a tight face, and murmured: "It seems... getting closer..."
Bai Youwei asked Shen Mo: "Is the mark still there?"
Shen Mo shook his head with a solemn expression, "The mark is gone."
Du Lai carefully observed the texture of each door. "These stone chambers are all exactly the same. There is no difference. They are just... like replicas."
Asalina held a knife, listened to the movement at the north gate for a while, and asked Bai Youwei: "That guy is very close to us, why don't we leave here first?"
"It's better to take the south gate." Bai Youwei said.
The six people walked into the south door. There was still a stone chamber outside the door. Bai Youwei took the lead in coming to the middle of the stone chamber and found that the two batteries placed here just now, like Shen Mo's mark, were missing.
Bai Youwei frowned, "It's a bit troublesome..."
The plot requires it, please do not imitate it, and do not throw used batteries anywhere~
