Chapter 22 Labyrinth 4 "Let's try our luck!"...
The blood-red seconds were decreasing rapidly, and soon, the big "4" became "3". There was not much time left.
"What should I do? Which door should I open? Does anyone have an idea?!" someone shouted.
"No, be quiet!"
"How about we try to have six people open these six doors at the same time and see what happens?"
"Is this your first time playing a game? How could you come up with such a stupid suggestion? Even in a normal maze you can't walk this way. If you want to die, do it yourself and don't take us with you. Don't waste everyone's time!"
"Who cares? We'll just open any door!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Then everyone fell silent again.
Six identical doors lay quietly on the wall, without sound, stains or marks. No one knew what was hidden behind these doors, a way to a life that would make people ecstatic or a monster waiting to devour people.
"Boss, what do you think?" Su Ming was also a little anxious. The teenager kept pulling at the hem of his shirt.
"No opinion." An Rao's face was pale. If Su Ming touched An Rao's shoulder at this time, he would find that he was trembling, a slight but almost useless tremor that he tried to restrain.
I really had no idea. This was the first step into the maze. How should I interpret the rules? How should I explore the route? What would happen if I went right? What would I face if I went wrong? There was almost no clue or sign in this completely symmetrical room - except for that circle of green light.
What does that circle of green light represent?
"Anyway, you can't go through the door circled by green light." Su Ming said.
"Why?"
"That circle of green light is too obvious, like an obvious trap." Su Ming made a bold guess.
"I heard that some skilled hunters will set two traps, one bright and one dark. The prey will not go there at first sight of the obvious trap, and then fall into the real trap when taking a detour." An Rao said in a deep voice as he looked at the circle of green light.
"So this wall with the green light is fine, but the four walls connected to it contain real traps?"
"No, there is a correct way out," An Rao adjusted his glasses. His fingers began tapping subconsciously when the countdown began, thinking of those seemingly reasonable rules and clauses. "The amusement park will predict your predictions."
"What shall we do then?"
"It doesn't matter. There is no information right now. We have to go whether we want to or not. Let's just try our luck." An Rao shrugged.
Su Ming: ...Sometimes I feel really tired, and it feels like this world will never get better.
Time passed quickly, and the "3" representing minutes quickly became "2", and then everyone watched "2" become "1".
"Ding Dong!" The red slot machine suspended in the middle of the room suddenly stopped spinning, making a clear and pleasant sound. An innocent, cute and fake child's voice came out of the machine, "Let's try our luck!"
As he spoke, the black button on the slot machine sank a little, as if it was pressed by a transparent person. The cartoon patterns on the screen quickly disappeared, and the three columns of patterns on the screen began to scroll dizzyingly.
The fifteen people in the room were all staring at the screen intently, so nervous that not even the slightest breath could be heard.
To the sound of playful and lively electronic music, the three columns of patterns rotated slower and slower, and finally stopped on a word "luck" surrounded by golden stars, a red five-pointed star and a blue balloon.
"Oh no! Sorry, you didn't win the prize!" A big crying face appeared on the screen, informing in a tone of great regret but gloating.
The breathtaking countdown is about to end, and this bad news notification has become the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the helpless players.
In the last few tens of seconds, there is a one in six chance of finding the correct channel and a zero tolerance rate. Is it possible?
"Why is it such a haunted maze!" A fat middle-aged man in the team collapsed and shouted, "I want to get out! I must get out. I can't hand the initiative to the amusement park. It will definitely kill us. It will use the most horrible method to kill us all!"
At this time, the blood-red countdown hanging above everyone's heads showed that there were only ten seconds left. According to Article 5 of the maze game rules, "if you fail to move within the specified time, the game will randomly specify the direction of movement." Although it is randomly specified, it is obvious that the amusement park will not be kind enough to point out a correct door to the players from the beginning.
Rather than letting your fate be arranged for you, it is better to take your fate into your own hands, even if fate means death.
The fat man ran two steps towards the wall with the green light circle, then stopped immediately, turned around and ran towards the other wall adjacent to the wall with the green light circle. He slapped his hand on the button, and the floating countdown was reset to "3:00" and then started counting down again. It seemed that he had three minutes to enter after the door was opened.
