It turns out that those big faces really don't want the train conductors to play badly.
Chen An asked, "What maze?"
Four Eyes said, "We will set up eight levels of checkpoints, and only you, the train conductor, can pass through them. If you succeed, you can get the key and leave without any restrictions. If you fail, you will surrender and hand over part of your consciousness energy."
These words made Chen An seem to understand that the giant face did not want to kill him, but wanted to control him.
This indirectly proves that they also want to survive on the train instead of being annihilated.
"What if I don't participate?" Chen An was fearless.
Four Eyes wasn't angry. He said calmly, "It doesn't matter. The worst that can happen is we die together. We've lived long enough. Death is actually a relief. I'll give you a day to think about it. We'll be here again tomorrow."
"Wait!" Seeing that the giant faces were about to disappear, Tiekan quickly interrupted.
"Give us the rules first. If they're too harsh, we'd rather die than participate. There's no need to even consider it."
Four Eyes said, "You can't predict the future, you can't take passengers, but the rest doesn't matter."
"The main thing is what can we do? Breaking through the maze is for the benefit of both of us, not just for ourselves. I guess you have pressure behind you, right?"
The giant faces didn't reply for the time being because they were messaging each other and discussing the details.
As Tiejian said, they were not actually interested in this matter and were purely doing it to complete the mission.
Five minutes later, Four Eyes said, "You can open the Star Domain Network so passengers can watch the entire process and provide assistance. If you don't need help, you can close the Star Domain Network at any time. It's very convenient. But please note that once you participate in the maze, you cannot quit midway; you can only succeed or fail. And all four people must participate, otherwise the activity will be invalid."
After saying this, the giant faces disappeared one by one.
Ghost Face was the last one to join. He added, "I suggest you don't join. Living is too tiring. It would be much simpler if we just died together."
Chen An pretended not to hear and immediately discussed it with Fu Yao.
"Now that the Star Network is connected, can many of our abilities also be activated? For example, absolute protection, quantum teleportation, etc."
[It will definitely take effect, so the host can participate]
Chen An had a clue in his mind, and after a while he entered the Star Domain Network to discuss the matter with the other three people.
"I'll participate!" Tiejian gave a definite answer as soon as he came in.
Blade: "Participate!"
Romo: "It's at least a hope, to participate."
It’s good to have fewer train conductors. There’s no need for messy discussions and it’s easy to reach a consensus.
Chen An: "I'll join in too, and we'll help each other when the time comes."
After a brief chat, the four of them went to make their own preparations.
Later, Chen An contacted Tiejian: "You agreed so readily, do you have a way to save your life?"
"I have a consciousness converter, a technology you gave me."
Chen An chuckled, "This thing only works when you're dead. You must have other tricks up your sleeve. I'm not here to expose your secrets, I'm just asking for your thoughts. What if they cheat us?"
There is another possibility, the so-called maze is a trap, and they can't get out once they go in.
Chen An can leave by relying on quantum teleportation, but he is worried that others can only save their lives and do not have similar means.
After a moment of silence, Tiejian said, "I am alive today not by luck."
He suddenly changed his tone and asked, "Have you seen what Blade looks like now?"
Chen An said: "The vortex tribe must be ugly, don't laugh at him."
"He has an alien form and stopped using the Vortex form a long time ago. I'll send it to you."
Tiejian sent a picture, which made Chen An a little confused.
The Vortex Clan is a silicon-based creature, so the Blade is also silicon-based after its transformation.
But the problem is that this humanoid silicon-based body has female characteristics.
"The heterogeneous structure will most likely change according to one's own desires. What does that guy think about every day?"
Tiejian said cheerfully, "You didn't expect that, that bastard Blade looks like a decent guy on the surface, but he's actually smoldering."
Chen An looked at it for a while and said, "It's just a few features, but overall it fits his image. Do you have a picture of Luo Mo?"
"Yes, I'll send it to you right away."
"You're good, you have everything."
Roma is a birdman with wings on his back and many feather features on his body.
Those feathers are his weapons or armor, and they look quite powerful.
Tiejian said, "Luo Mo is a hypocritical fellow, but in reality, he's full of ruthless tactics. Sometimes, he's even more ruthless than me. I told you before that he was the first to use the method of slaughtering the infected to fight the mental virus. He killed hundreds of thousands of people without blinking an eye."
Chen An smiled and said, "From what I hear, you seem like a good person."
"I'm a good person, but sometimes I'm forced into a corner."
He suddenly lowered his voice: "The blade can be trusted, but Romo cannot. If the crisis comes, sacrifice the latter first."
The communication was immediately disconnected, and Tiejian said nothing more.
Nothing happened after that, so the four of them rested in the car and got their spirits back so they could deal with the maze the next day.
…
In a dark world, eight strange-looking giant creatures each stand on a planet and orbit the star in the middle.
Near the corona above the star, an ancient palace is suspended, continuously baking in the high temperature.
"Master, they will most likely agree to participate in the maze. What exactly do you mean? You destroyed the train before, but now you don't want to destroy it." The four-eyed monster expressed his confusion.
After a while, an old voice came from the palace: "I only need a train, understand?"
"I see. You do this to raise the Gu and select the strongest train."
The old voice said, "I thought I could just choose from the remaining three trains, but I didn't expect another stronger one to appear. But the problem is, this train seems difficult to deal with. You should put as much pressure on them as possible in the maze and force them to surrender."
"As you command, we will do our best. Master, may I ask if the other train conductors who have surrendered can be used?"
"I have other uses, and it's not your business to get involved."
…
Finally, the appointed time arrived and the eight giant faces appeared on time.
Chen An said: "We will participate. Where is the maze?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rock suddenly appeared in the distant starry sky.
The stone is a cube, about millions of kilometers high and about a million kilometers long and wide.
No entrance is currently visible.
Four Eyes said, "That's the maze. You can enter at any time. But once you enter, you must complete it. You can't stop. Giving up means admitting defeat."
"good."
Chen An asked Fu Yao to conduct a simple analysis of the maze, but without any inside information, all the analysis was false.
Ten minutes later, the four train conductors left the train and flew towards the direction of the rocks.
As they approached, a whirlpool appeared at the bottom of the stone, sucking them in one by one.
At the same time, each train gained access to the star network, but could only obtain footage of its own train captain, nothing more.
