Chapter 504 Killing Yourself

"This maze is bigger than I thought.

Its area is comparable to that of Tianming Mountain!"

Huang Banxian's dry and sallow face looked even more haggard. He pressed his body against the right side of the stone wall and moved forward cautiously.

He rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist, which was still ticking.

Under his gaze, he watched the second hand draw a circle again.

It was now "23:51" in the middle of the night.

Huang Banxian took a deep breath, gradually sat down along the wall, and rubbed his sore calves.

This means that he has been in the maze barrier for more than two and a half hours.

What he didn't know was that there were countless Huang Banxians in this maze barrier.

And he was the only one among these Huang Banxians who had been in for the longest time, walked the farthest, and had the most accurate watch time.

According to the theory of the man surnamed Ji, he believed that he was real.

So, how to judge the truth, is it related to the time on the watch?

In other words, is this Huang Banxian the only real one among countless Huang Banxians?

No one except the Ji family can explain this.

Huang Banxian naturally didn't know this either. He only knew that he had been wandering for two and a half hours.

During this time, he occasionally felt strange, and the golden talisman in his pocket was slightly hot, but he was not really attacked.

There were no living people except him. Clyde seemed to have been swallowed by the maze, and he was the only one left in the vast enchantment.

This long sense of loneliness and powerlessness was gradually eroding his will to survive.

In a chaotic place without a sense of space, Huang Banxian was about to reach his limit. If he didn't rest, he would be completely lost.

Sitting by the wall, listening to no unusual movements nearby, he took out bread and mineral water from the dry cloth bag.

The sound of tearing open the plastic packaging was very subtle, but it was still enough to create a strange sound in the silent environment.

Huang Banxian looked around vigilantly with the bread in his hand. After confirming that it was correct, he began to eat it and adjust his state as soon as possible.

While eating bread, he began to review the route map along the way.

"I went all the way to the right, taking the road I encountered, adhering to the principle of drawing a circle.

After an hour, I completed the first circle.

In the first circle, I saw 43 circular areas, 43 straight passages and 129 forks."

The first spatial map gradually took shape in his mind.

However, human memory is unreliable after all. He could only roughly conceive a map, but could not perfect many details.

"In the second hour, I completed the second circle.

In the second circle, I saw 43 circular areas, 43 straight passages and 115 forks.

These two spatial maps look similar, but they are very different."

In just half a minute, he had wolfed down a piece of bread. After unscrewing the mineral water and taking a sip, he felt that his confused brain had become a little clearer.

"If the entire maze barrier is considered to be composed of circles.

Then the biggest difference between the first circle I walked through and the second circle is that the number of forks is constantly decreasing."

Huang Banxian's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion, but with a certain enlightenment.

In fact, each fork represents more areas. The number of forks is constantly decreasing, which means that the overall space is also compressing.

Thinking of this, he looked at the road ahead on the side, but his mind was full of questions about the reduction of this space.

"In the first two hours, I only walked two circles.

But in the last half hour, I walked a complete circle again."

According to the fact that the maze is composed of an unknown number of circles, Huang Banxian calculated the number and inferred that the three circles he walked through should only account for about one-fifth of the total number of the maze.

Then the conversion shows that there will be about fifteen circles in the entire maze.

But the space of the maze is constantly decreasing.

The area of ​​the two areas on the far right and the second right is decreasing very slowly, but the area on the right again has almost disappeared by half!

"What on earth is causing the area of ​​the maze to shrink?"

"Who?!"

Huang Banxian's thoughts stopped here. He suddenly heard a slight strange sound not far from the corner.

It was the faint sound of the soles of shoes stepping on the gravel, but he caught it immediately.

"Feng Jiao?"

A tentative question came from a position that could not be detected by vision.

This name that Huang Banxian did not like, but at this moment, he was shocked all over, and even his mental strength was instantly full.

"Xiao Kezi! It's you!"

...

Huang Banxian stood against the wall, looking at Clayde who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and eating bread in big mouthfuls, his eyes full of surprise.

"I thought you were dead a long time ago!"

Clayde's face was bulging high, and the sides of his mouth were full of food. He raised his head and said vaguely:

"I walked for a long time, and I thought you were dead!"

After a long separation, Huang Banxian was in a very good mood to finally see his familiar teammates, but he knew that it was time to exchange information.

While Clay was eating, he quickly told him all his guesses about the maze.

With the guidance of the talisman in the bag, he firmly believed that Clay was a real person.

Clay nodded as he listened. Huang Banxian's experience was similar to his, except that he was exploring the two circles on the left.

After drinking half a bottle of mineral water in one breath, he stood up against the wall, his eyes became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Your idea is absolutely correct, the entire maze is indeed decreasing crazily.

And I've found the reason for the reduced space. "

Huang Banxian's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but take a step forward, and hurriedly asked:

"Say it!"

Clay's face turned bright and dark, and he mysteriously pulled Huang Banxian's sleeve and led him out of the narrow passage.

"Where are you taking me..."

After just saying a few words, Huang Banxian stopped.

Because the scene in front of him made his mind buzz, and his thoughts were completely stagnant at this moment.

In front of Huang Banxian and Clyde, there were two corpses stacked on top of each other. Their deaths were tragic but obviously caused by living people.

The corpse sitting next to him was none other than Huang Banxian himself, and the cause of death was a cut throat;

The body lying flat on the ground was Clyde. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxia.

Clay looked at Huang Banxian who was completely stunned, sighed and said:

"I explored from left to right and walked for two hours. I have already seen 6 corpses of myself and 8 of your corpses.

They were all brutally hunted by another person for some purpose. "

Seeing your own body so close is not a pleasant experience.

Huang Banxian turned his head in disbelief and looked directly into Clyde's eyes, full of doubts.

Clyde had no such evasion. He squatted in front of the two corpses and took off the watch from the corpse's wrist:

"Look, when you die, the time on your wrist stays at 22:17.

But now your time is obviously still going on, and it is much, much further behind him. "

Huang Banxian felt as if he was struck by lightning. He instantly understood what Clay's words meant.

"You...you mean, he is Huang Fengjiao at 22:17.

And I am Huang Fengjiao who is further back in time! "

"Yes, there are countless us in this maze barrier."

Clay nodded:

"This maze is not only a space barrier, but also a time barrier.

From the moment we entered the maze, we were split into countless individuals.

Once we are killed in each area, the corresponding space will disappear.

When all the extra space disappears, there is only one space left, and that is the exit!

The man who hunted us obviously guessed the way out before we did, and he had succeeded many, many times. "

Huang Banxian was completely shocked by this amazing way of life. He looked down at his tragically dead body and reviewed this theory.

Yes.

If explained this way, it makes sense.

This maze is both a time system and a space system.

Time acts on the clerk and space acts on the maze, resulting in the isolation of information from each other.

Killing the clerks in the occupied space and erasing the timeline will reduce the size of the maze.

If you push this to the extreme, the last person will control the final maze, and he will inevitably find his way out!

Huang Banxian's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized the "hunter".

Because the Hunter had obviously entered much earlier than him and Clyde, he had already taken the lead.

At least half of the maze has disappeared now. You can imagine how much advantage that person has.

Even with this advantage, he and Clyde were completely unable to make a comeback!

"We have lost the qualification to compete, so what we can do now..."

Huang Banxian captured the key to the present moment. He quickly pulled Clyde over and said:

"time!

The one with the last time on your watch must be your true self.

If our true selves were hunted, we would cease to exist! "

Huang Banxian thought to himself that even if he was not the last, he should still be very close to his true self, because he had been in for a long time.

Came to 23:59.

As soon as he grabbed Clyde's hand, he suddenly realized what the problem was. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and checked his watch.

The time on Clay's wrist was far ahead of him: "22:49."

Clay lowered his head slowly. When he raised his head again, his face was full of indifference and darkness, and he suddenly chuckled.

"I was discovered by you."

At the same time as he finished speaking, a knife suddenly turned over in his hand and stabbed Huang Banxian in the heart.

Huang Banxian had no idea that Clay would take action against him, and his life was taken away without any defense.

"Why...why?"

Clay's face was expressionless, only calm and rational. It was obvious that he was not Clay himself now, but the second personality created by Fang Jing.

In order to kill Huang Banxian, his second personality played an awkward role for a long time, but he succeeded in the end.

“Even if I’m not the real Clyde, if I kill him in all the other timelines, then I’m real.

And you, Huang Fengjiao, must try your best to die.

As the space becomes smaller and smaller, the chance of me meeting other Clydes will become greater and greater..."
