It was not until the next day that Li Ze and the others discovered the map drawn on the wall. He looked down along the map and saw the name written on it.
Bai Yu, who was standing by, stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "This guy named Xie Qi seems to be quite righteous."
Li Ze came to his senses after hearing his words: "Write down the map, let's leave the maze first."
Afterwards, Li Ze and his group took note of the map and headed towards the finish line.
During this time, because Xie Qi kept drawing maps on the wall, many players who were originally lost in the maze also discovered the map on the wall, successfully found the exit, and walked out of the maze smoothly.
Not only that, Xie Qi will also take the initiative to help other players in danger.
As time goes by, the number of surviving players is decreasing, and the end of the maze is a huge platform.
All the players who successfully escaped the maze gathered on this platform.
Li Ze and Bai Yu were no exception, they successfully reached the end of the maze.
When the two successfully reached the finish line, a string of numbers appeared above their heads, just like the titles of the characters in the game.
"923" was written on Li Ze's head, and "924" was written on Bai Yu's head.
Fang Tong, who had already successfully passed the level, had been staring at the finish line. As soon as he saw Li Ze and the others, he immediately jumped up and waved vigorously.
"Bai Yu! Li Ze! Here, here!"
Bai Yu was stunned when he saw the golden number "1" flashing above Fang Tong's head. When he saw Fang Tong running over, he asked in surprise, "You, your head is so dazzling."
The numbers on the heads of other players at the scene, including him and Li Ze, were white, but Fang Tong's was golden.
When Fang Tong heard this, he pinched his waist and boasted, "Hey, I'm first! Gold."
Li Ze: "Is this number a ranking?"
Fang Tong: "Yes! I am the only one with golden color. Aren't you envious?"
Li Ze: "When did you pass the customs?"
Fang Tong stretched out four fingers and waved them in front of them, looking proud: "I passed the game within four hours of starting."
Bai Yu: "So fast?!"
Fang Tong scratched his head and replied, "Actually, I was able to be so fast thanks to Xie Qi. He was the one who gave me the map."
Li Ze: "Did you meet Xie Qi?"
Fang Tong: "I did meet him, and he saved me, but he hasn't come out yet."
Fang Tong looked at their puzzled expressions and continued to explain, "Xie Qi said he wanted to draw more maps in the maze and save more people."
After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but become more curious about Xie Qi.
At this time, at the end of the maze, players continued to successfully pass the level. After an unknown amount of time, the long-lost mechanical sound sounded again.
"Dear players, please note that there is one hour left in the game. Please reach the finish line as soon as possible. Players who fail to reach the finish line will be eliminated."
At this time, there was a huge countdown in the sky, and players kept running out from the finish line. However, Fang Tong did not see Xie Qi.
It was not until the last minute of the game that everyone saw a figure rushing out of the end of the maze.
Just after Xie Qi rushed out, the game countdown returned to zero, the maze disappeared instantly, and all players who did not come out were eliminated.
"Congratulations to the 6317th player who successfully passed the level. The game continues."
The next second, before Fang Tong could go find Xie Qi, all the players were teleported back to the tower where they first gathered.
"Attention everyone, the first round of NPC identification begins now. The NPCs will be caged."
However, after this voice sounded, no one took action. After all, it was only the first game, and no one could guess who the NPC was.
In the first round, there was no other option but to find a scapegoat, and no one was willing to step forward and send an innocent player to their death. The entire scene was filled with oppressive silence.
After a while, maybe someone couldn't help it and just grabbed an innocent player.
"Let me go! I'm not! I'm not an NPC!"
When everyone looked up, they saw a middle-aged man picking up a child of about twelve or thirteen by the waist and walking towards the black cage.
When the man saw someone trying to stop him, he immediately shouted, "Don't get in my way! If you don't choose someone, we'll all be trapped here and die!"
Then the man looked at the struggling child and said, "Adults can't get out of the maze, how can a child like you possibly make it through? I think you're an NPC."
Child: "I'm not! Help me! I really am not."
However, after hearing the child's cry for help, no one at the scene chose to help. They lowered their heads and tacitly approved of the middle-aged man's behavior.
Seeing no one to help him, the child could not help crying out in despair: "Xie Qi brother, save me! Save me!"
At this moment, the child knew that perhaps only Xie Qi would save him. After all, it was Xie Qi who brought the child to the end in the maze.
When the child called out Xie Qi's name, all the players in the audience looked around in surprise, wanting to see who Xie Qi was.
However, after hearing the child's cry, Xie Qi sighed. He didn't want to care about it. After all, being eliminated here might be the right thing for the child.
The level of danger in the latter part may not be something that children can participate in, and being eliminated does not mean actual death.
Xie Qi also learned from other players that this game is similar to a virtual consciousness. As long as the real NPC is found in the end, the eliminated players will not die.
But since the child was calling him, he couldn't just ignore it. At the very least, he had to calm the child down and reduce his fear, so he walked towards the child.
