Chapter 17 Labyrinth World (Please read on!!!)
Entering the maze world was like entering another world. A chill ran up his ankles and up his spine, making Zhou Yuan shiver.

He looked back and saw that the door that had just closed had disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a deep darkness, like a huge abyss that eats people.

Looking up, it was pitch black above, with walls nearly ten meters high on both sides. Torches were hung on the walls at regular intervals, bringing faint light to the dark space, and the ground was paved with stone bricks.

[The Maze World is the most interesting and dangerous project in the Happy Castle. You will play the role of an adventurer, looking for the only way to escape in the dangerous and intricate maze.

After becoming abnormal, the clearance rate of the maze world is 0%, and the mortality rate is as high as 99.9%!

Do you think you are going to die? Don't panic, I have you covered.

The evil map will guide you throughout the journey.

Please go straight along the current road and turn right after 100 meters...】

Zhou Yuan walked forward according to the instructions of the Eye of Identification, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He and the three investigators came in almost at the same time, so why didn't he see them?

Also, isn't this maze a bit too big?

Looking from the outside just now, the length of this building is less than 100 meters, but now the straight-line distance alone is 100 meters, and the maze walls on both sides are as high as 10 meters. How big is the overall area of ​​the building?
Is it because of the anomaly that the internal space of the maze world has become larger?

[There is a pit trap 20 meters ahead. Don't step on the stone in the middle. Walk on both sides.]

【Turn left at the next intersection】

【Please keep going straight】

[Prepare to turn around at the intersection ahead]

【…】

Zhou Yuan ran wildly in the maze following the instructions of the Eye of Identification. He did not forget what the investigator had just said - after twelve o'clock, all the people who died in the amusement park would show up to play various projects. Chen Guangxi would buy them some time, but it would only be a dozen minutes.

He must complete the maze world within these ten minutes or return within the limited time, otherwise his end will be very miserable.

[Go straight for 10 meters, stop, then turn left, use the Ghost Walker, and go through this wall, which can save you 80% of the distance. ]

Zhou Yuan activated the Ghost Walker skill and crashed into the wall without hesitation.

When he came out of the wall, he found himself in a cozy little supermarket.

The lights were bright, the floors were polished, and a familiar hit song was playing.

The shelves are filled with snacks, stuffed toys and amusement park peripherals.

A mouth-watering aroma floated in the air, arousing the hunger deep in one's heart. The source of the aroma came from a sausage cabinet on the counter, where more than a dozen greasy sausages were slowly rotating.

Zhou Yuan came to the entrance of the small supermarket and looked out through the glass door.

All the torches on the maze walls on both sides were extinguished, and the passage ahead was pitch black.

The light of the shop can only illuminate an area of ​​five or six meters around it. Outside the light is deep darkness and nothing can be seen.

This small shop is like a lighthouse island in the dark ocean, standing alone in the boundless darkness and could be swallowed by the darkness at any time.

[As we all know, whether it is an aquarium, a zoo or an amusement park, there is a common phenomenon: there must be a small supermarket near the exit.

Arriving here means that there is only about 20% of the distance left to the exit, but this part is also the most difficult to walk, so I suggest you wait for your teammates, they will be here soon.

By the way, some of the food here is not for human consumption. 】

"Hmm... if it's not for humans to eat, then it's for ghosts to eat. So these things are related to the 'supernatural'?"

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up instantly and he glanced around the entire supermarket. He got rich!
He hurried to collect the supplies, but was poured a bucket of cold water the next second. These snacks and toys could not be sold for any money!

Just when he thought he was happy for nothing, the grilled sausage on the counter gave him a surprise. [Name: Steaming Hot Grilled Sausage]

[Note 1: You can buy a delicious grilled sausage for only 2 yuan, but guess what kind of meat it is made of? ]

【Note 2: This is a snack that is very popular among park visitors. 】

[Price: 100 Star Coins]

"There are 11 sticks in total, which can be sold for 1100 star coins, but here's a note... Park visitors like to eat them... Maybe this thing will come in handy when we're surrounded by ghosts."

Zhou Yuan decided to keep these sausages for now, maybe they would be useful. Then he started to fiddle with the sausage grill. To his disappointment, the sausage grill was nothing special, it was just an ordinary item.

suddenly.

Three figures rushed out from the darkness and almost simultaneously rushed into the lighting range of the shop. Each of them had injuries to varying degrees and looked quite embarrassed.

After seeing Zhou Yuan in the store, the three of them were all stunned and couldn't believe it.

How come there was no sound when they ran over... Zhou Yuan was also shocked when he saw these three people appear.

As the three investigators stepped into the light, the thing chasing them in the darkness also stopped. With the help of the weak light, they could vaguely see a tall and deformed silhouette standing in the darkness.

[Don't worry, this is a temporary safe zone, bad guys can't get in - I guess you must be wondering what bad guys are.

On the day when the amusement park went crazy, more than a thousand tourists were trapped here. As time went by, food resources became increasingly scarce, so some people had to turn their attention to their own kind... You know what happened next.

Finally, under the influence of the anomalous power of Paradise, those people merged with the people they had eaten.】

As if it was afraid of the light, the tall and deformed figure in the darkness did not move forward, but just cast a resentful look full of hungry murderous intent.

After a moment, it slowly retreated back into the depths of darkness, and the deep darkness also receded like a tide.

The extinguished torches on the maze walls rekindled, lighting the way.

The three investigators gasped with lingering fear and pushed the door open to enter the small supermarket.

"Why are you here?" The frail young investigator asked Zhou Yuan with a confused look on his face.

You have to know that they explored the maze world for five days and paid the price of several lives before they figured out the general direction of the maze. As a result, Zhou Yuan arrived here before them.

"It's all luck."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and asked, "How much time is left?"

"8 minutes 49 seconds."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go."

"Wait, we need to get some supplies." The three of them quickly put the food on the shelves into the storage rings.

Zhou Yuan did not stop them. The only food here was the grilled sausages for ghosts to eat. The other foods were not a big problem. Besides, he could not stop them, and the investigators might not believe him.

The frail young man spoke to him while loading the supplies: "You can get ahead of us, which means you have some skills. My name is Jiang Wuming, let's form a team."

"My name is Wang Zhen."

Zhou Yuan made up a fake name and paused: "Your name..."

"It's a bit unlucky, right? Actually, this is my nickname. Everyone is used to calling me that, so I changed my name." Jiang Wuming smiled at him.

[This is an old unlucky guy, even more unlucky than you. As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames. He was cursed by a mysterious and powerful force and gained incredible abilities. Maybe you will soon know his specialness. ]
