Chapter 34 Drugs, Lies, and Pranks (15)
There are no tourists in the maze, and no lights are turned on, only a little bit of sunset cast from the high windows.Part of it was shrouded in blood-red light, and part of it was hidden behind layers of walls, pitch-black.

This is the largest and most complex maze in the city, covering an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters.The road section is short and has many forks, and the space is narrow and there are many turns.There are help desks at intervals, but they are not open at the moment.On the contrary, every time you walk, you can see various decoration appliances.

It was dimly lit and dead silent.

Walking in a narrow place with branch roads in front, back, left, and right, Daisy panicked inexplicably.

Graffiti is everywhere on the walls, and there are occasional skeletal ghosts and portraits of the Grim Reaper.Not long after Daisy left, she was frightened to death, and gently tugged Zhen Ai's sleeve: "Zhen Ai, let's go out. It's not fun here at all."

Zhen Ai calmly said, "I don't have a good sense of direction." It means that I can't get out.

Daisy burst into tears.

Zhen Ai looked at Dai Xi's frustrated and miserable expression, and said, "I have good night vision and hearing."

Daisy burst into tears: What does this have to do with getting out of the maze?
"You..." She didn't finish her pronunciation, Zhen Ai suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes became sharp instantly, stopping her from continuing to speak.

Dai Xi was in a fog and was made very nervous by her.

She pricked up her ears and listened quietly, but there was no sound in the deathly silent maze.

But Zhen Ai gradually frowned, as if hearing something gradual.She made a quick judgment and made a quiet and slow moving gesture to Daisy.

Daisy didn't understand that there were only the two of them in the maze, but she still cooperated with Zhen Ai, walking very lightly and slowly.

Turning a corner, there was a clear sound of footsteps on the other side of the wall.

Daisy was shocked, someone followed?The red dot waving in front of her just now couldn't be the sniper rifle in the movie, right?
She pressed against the wall, and the sound of unfamiliar footsteps was close at hand.She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked at Zhen Ai helplessly.The latter seemed to be calmer, and a hint of excitement flashed in his dark eyes.

As the sound of footsteps receded step by step, both Zhen Ai and Dai Xi fixed their eyes on the corner ahead.Stranger, will it emerge from there?Dai Xi shrank stiffly behind Zhen Ai, sweating profusely.

Zhen Xin held her heartbeat and subconsciously clenched the gun in her hand.

You are my medicine, the love words that lunatic told her, the initials of those who died happened to be the initials of her former agents.

Coincidence?
It was hard for her to convince herself.

The sound of footsteps gradually approaching the front corner, Zhen Ai gritted her teeth, and prayed in her heart, come out, no matter what level of member you are in the organization, let me shoot you to death.

Samual Leigh, Luis Right, Harvey Porter, Araon Hill, Derek Applegate…

She wants to kill.She wants to avenge them!

As soon as he squeezed the trigger, the sound of the man's footsteps gradually faded away.

This is the wonder of the labyrinth. They are far away from each other, but they are far away when they turn around.Can't find the right way, no matter how close we are, we can't get together.

Zhen Ai held the gun, feeling indescribably disappointed.Dai Xi, however, seemed to be pardoned, she held Zhen Ai's hand tightly, and her whole body was almost pressed against her.

Zhen Ai turned her head to look at her head on her shoulder, and was stunned.Such an intimate move made her uncomfortable, she silently pulled her arms away, and continued to walk forward without making a sound.

Daisy quickly tiptoed over and gestured "I'm sorry" to her.

Zhen Ai didn't respond, but she calmed down a little, feeling a little guilty.She was impulsive just now.

Daisy is still here, and she is likely to implicate her.If only Dai Xi could be put in a safe place and go to fight alone.But in the maze, it was obviously impossible.

He left Daisy behind and went to find the man by himself, but worried that he would go around and find Daisy first.

Zhen Ai kept walking in silence.

The sun went down quickly.The light in the maze faded again.The two walked along the wall, and randomly chose when they encountered a fork in the road.Occasionally encountering a dead end, Dai Xi was so frightened that her heart would jump out, but Zhen Ai returned calmly and continued to turn.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhen Ai suddenly stopped and stopped Dai Xi.

Daisy listened breathlessly, but still heard nothing.Turning her head, she found that in the slightly drunken darkness, Zhen Ai had a determined smile on her lips.

She saw her pull the safety catch silently, move a step to block in front of her, raise her arms, and aim at the corner less than one meter ahead.

Daisy understood that the man had learned to be smart and walked silently.

But Zhen Ai's ears are good at hearing.

He's about to show up?
Daisy's legs went limp from fright, and her mind went blank.She looked at Zhen Ai's thin figure standing in front of her, and for some reason, she looked behind her, and the nearest corner was less than half a meter away.

She gritted her teeth and went all out!
She suddenly tore away Zhen Ai's right hand, desperately dragging her to escape.Zhen Ai was caught off guard, and when she realized it, she was pulled around a corner. With a "chirp", the wall next to it was blown apart by bullets.

Sure enough, he was behind.

Zhen Ai wanted to shake off Dai Xi, but she couldn't use her right hand.Dai Xi didn't know where the energy came from, she dragged Zhen Ai across several intersections in an instant.

The two girls ran aimlessly through the maze, and the paint buckets on the road were crackling.The people behind him didn't care about it, and simply threw off the chase.

All of a sudden, the vast maze was filled with crackling sounds, mixed with the "chirp" sound of bullets.

Zhen Ai got angry: "Let go of me."

Daisy didn't let go, panting: "I can see that you have a problem with this person, and you want to use me to lure him out?"

"You know you still don't let go, be careful that I kill you."

Daisy snorted: "You say you, you want to use me to lure people out, but you also want to take care of my safety, so timid. It's really a contradiction."

Zhen Ai wanted to shake off her hand, but she tightened it even more, but ran forward vigorously: "Zhen Ai, if you dare to confront that person, I will jump over to protect you and pay back the favor you just had. You think about it yourself." She actually threatened her.

Zhen Ai laughed angrily: "It's better if you want to block bullets for me. Do you think I care about your life?"

Daisy shrugged, continued to run, and persuaded: "Zhen Ai, you are so stupid, the police will definitely come and arrest him. Why put yourself in it?"

Zhen Ai didn't explain.What she wants is not punishment, but the truth.But she didn't get rid of Daisy, this timid and kind-hearted girl.Take her out, she is really out of her mind.

The two ran around in circles, and quickly got rid of the man.Even if the other party's footsteps sound nearby, the special structure of the maze separates people thousands of miles away.

The surroundings were quiet again, and the two leaned against the wall, taking deep breaths quietly.Daisy mouthed: "Is he nearby?" Zhen Ai listened carefully for a few seconds, shook her head, and mouthed back: "The other side."

Daisy gestures: Let's go out.

Zhen Ai: Where is the road?
Daisy: ...

The two looked up at the sky.

The sun had completely set, and the afterglow in the window had turned a dull red, getting darker.The white walls were stained with an illusory black, making it look extraordinarily gloomy.

No mobile phone, no communication.

In this maze full of corners and exits, fighting wits and bravery with people with sniper rifles, spending a long and dark night, Daisy felt terrified and collapsed.Might as well die a happy death.

Daisy sadly expressed her fear to Zhen Ai: the dark maze, there is still a person looking for us, so scary.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Ai smiled faintly: Trust my eyes, I will find and aim at him first.

Dai Xi was taken aback, and looked at Zhen Ai.

At the scene of Anna's death, when she saw Zhen Ai for the first time, she took a few extra glances.Everyone was flustered at the time, but Zhen Ai's face was too eye-catching, maybe it shouldn't be called eye-catching, but her beauty was actually very quiet and non-aggressive, so beautiful that it made Dai Xi feel quiet for a second .She thought Zhen Ai was a still life vase beside Yan Su.

To this day, Zhen Ai suddenly aimed a gun at her head.Even if she is ruthless, she is much more stunning than the heroine in the blockbuster movie.

Zhen Ai at this moment is not dressed up or made up.With all his hair pulled up and hidden under a black baseball cap, he looked like a handsome tomboy at first glance.Exposing a neck as delicate as porcelain, like a white swan.No, a girl like her should be a black swan, proud, tenacious, and exuding an indescribable temperament.

She was looking at the top of her head, with eyes that were clear but quiet like time, calm and dust-free, seemingly weak, but extremely resilient.

Where did she get the courage to not be afraid of the dark?
Zhen Ai didn't pay attention to Dai Xi's gaze, and looked up at the window.It was dusky dusk outside.There will be a moon tonight but the clouds will be thick, and it will be very dark in the labyrinth, with only a very faint light left.

It was difficult for the other party to see her, but she could.

In the middle of the night, when the man rested, she went to look for him alone.

Let's turn this place into a dark room where she is often locked up at night!

Just as he was thinking, three bursts of "chirp" suddenly sounded from the other side of the maze.

Zhen Ai and Dai Xi looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.Soon there was the sound of running, but there was only one person, followed by more intensive gunshots.

Zhen Ai frowned, straightened her body, and meticulously judged the voices from all walks of life.

Someone broke in without a gun, snipers were chasing him, and the newcomer walked very lightly, in fact, very steadily.

Shouldn't it be...

Sure enough, in the next second, someone in the distance knocked on the wall of the maze, making a loud bang.Immediately, someone's proud and humble voice sounded: "Oh, I'm sorry, I've always been silent when I walk."

Of course, the person with the gun was furious, and there were a few more "tweets".

Zhen Ai's heart ached, why did Yan Su come here?Was he injured?

As soon as my heart was suspended, another black line fell down.

A certain person ran around in the maze. I don't know if he was born to show off or deliberately irritated. He actually started to explain, his voice was casual and loose, echoing in every corner of the maze:

"When I came in, I looked at the floor plan of the maze and remembered it. I can go anywhere in the maze as I like. Your shooting will only reveal your location and let me find you."

Zhen Xinxin sighed inwardly: This idiot is really amazing.

After Yan Su finished speaking, the man fell silent.

Daisy was very happy and shouted: "Hey, do you really memorize the map?"

Yan Su: "Don't compare my brain with your DOS system."

Zhen Ai remembered that she was called windows 98 by him, barely one level higher than Dai Xi.

Dai Xi didn't mind, and hurriedly said: "Then you catch him quickly!"

Now Yan Su was silent, and after a while, he said sincerely: "I remember the map, but I won't go to him...because I didn't bring a gun."

Zhen Ai: "..."

You came to play, right?Don't tell the truth without a gun!

Daisy held her forehead: "Then what are you doing here?"

Yan Su righteous words: "Come to expose his true face."

What mitigating effect does this sentence have on the present dangerous situation?
Daisy wanted to say something, but Zhen Ai stopped her with her eyes, and then pulled her forward, this time walking in a far away direction according to Yan Su's position.

A few more shots of "Jiu Jiu" sounded behind him, Dai Xi was terrified and even more puzzled, why didn't Zhen Ai go to reconcile with Yan Su?He didn't have a gun, what if he was hit by that man in the maze?
But Zhen Ai knew Yan Su better than she did, he remembered the route of the maze, and when he walked around, he despised and irritated the other party.If you really want to worry, it's better to worry about that person's anger.

The faint sunset glow on the roof gradually faded, and only a disdainful voice remained in the huge maze: "You are so proficient in using the gun, are you not afraid of revealing your identity?"

Before the words fell, there was another series of small gunshots on the wall.

Zhen Ai walked out all the way, not without worry in her heart.But in the next second, the voice that made her feel at ease sounded again: "Why did you kill Daisy? Worry about her remembering the mirror and let the police know that the mirror was not broken before she left? It's a pity that I have someone put it back together. Turns out Anna wrote a word on it."

On this side of the maze, both Zhen Ai and Dai Xi were puzzled.

The other party seemed to be irritated, and there were bursts of crisp bullet casings falling in the maze.Ke Yansu's voice was still calm and light: "You think I won't notice if you take away her transparent nail polish? Unfortunately, Anna's phone case was broken and glued to it with nail polish."

Zhen Ai was taken aback, so Yan Su said that there was one missing cosmetic, nail polish.His observation skills are astonishing.

Yan Su's position at this moment is a bit far away from Zhen Ai and the others, and his voice is a little softer, but clearly revealing a cold mockery:
"A simple analysis, Anna actually had multiple motives for writing your name on the mirror. Maybe it was to write about the murderer, or maybe she just wrote it with nail polish for fun. If you don't move the mirror, just rely on a word on the mirror. , I can't judge it's you.

But the murderer is always in a panic and wants to cover up everything and hide the mirror, so you changed the mirrors in the first and second classrooms.Because of this, I can judge that after Daisy fled in a hurry, Anna was still alive, and she even woke up after a brief coma. "

In the dim sky, Daisy was stunned. What was he talking about?
Yan Su's voice was weak, with the usual rebelliousness, echoing vaguely over the empty maze, word by word passed into the hearts of the other three silent people:

"Daisy ran away after fighting with Anna in the first classroom. You found that Anna was not dead, so you strangled her. During the struggle, she secretly wrote your name on the mirror with nail polish. You later accidentally discovered that you can't wipe it off." You just changed the mirrors in the two classrooms. You just moved the mirrors to the second classroom. Daisy and Kelly came back to dispose of them and moved the body to the second classroom. At that time you hid behind the curtains and waited for them Leave and engraved words on Anna. You were about to change the mirror, but there was an accident on the way, and you accidentally broke it. The broken mirror with transparent nail polish is too hard to find. You can’t pick it out, so just smash the window and mix it together Like a student throwing a stone and smashing it. It won't attract the attention of the police."

On the side of the labyrinth, Zhen Ai curled the corners of her lips coldly, and hid the lens in the glass. This person is really smart, and he is proficient with guns. He must not be these students, but most likely someone from the organization.

Just as he was thinking, an exit suddenly appeared in front of him.

Daisy froze for a moment, then was surprised and happy for a moment, she was lucky.Immediately report to Yan Su in the maze, let him come out quickly, and leave that person to wander around in the maze!
Before she could make a sound, Zhen Ai stepped forward to cover her mouth and mouthed: "Don't tell Yan Su that I've been here."

Saying that, under Daisy's astonished eyes, she pushed her out of the maze ruthlessly, and she turned around quickly and disappeared as soon as she turned a corner.

Daisy opened her mouth, not daring to chase or shout.Either way, the mysterious person might find her first.Only the outside is the safest now.But she looked up at the sky, and the last blush on the window disappeared, and night had fallen.She looked at the white walls in the darkness around her, saw the short corridor and the abrupt turn in front of her, her feet felt cold.

Zhen Ai walked quickly and silently in the maze, and she could accurately determine the location of Yan Su and the other person.

Yan Su didn't have a gun, so he would avoid that man.What she has to do is not bump into Yan Su and find that person before him.She must ask about the letter.

She brought a needle, one second, just one second can make his life worse than death.At that time, she used a gun to pretend to be that person to scare Yan Su back, and left immediately after asking the result.

Yan Su will not know.

Just as he was doing some calculations, he heard Yan Su's voice again, separated by several walls:

"Parker. Anna wrote Parker on the mirror! In fact, even if the police see it, they will first think of Harry Parker who died two years ago, thinking that the case will add suspense and weirdness. But everything you do, To hide it. There is another son in the Parker family, and that is you, Harvey Parker."

Now, the sound of gunfire following Yan Su stopped.In the maze under the night, there were four people standing, but they were as quiet as death.

"I've always wondered how an impatient and impulsive person like Anna could come up with such a meticulous murder plan. She doesn't have a strong motive for killing, and you taught her. You spent a lot of effort to make her fall in love with you, and spent more Thoughts made Qi Mo's mental problems more and more serious.

That day I asked Qi Mo if he saw the murderer.He said 'not me' in horror.This sentence is very strange. Later he surrendered himself, but he couldn't explain how he killed the person.Instead, he said something even stranger: 'I saw, I killed someone. 'I think you were blocked behind the mirror when you carved the words on Anna.And Qi Mo stood at the door, saw your hand holding the knife, and his distorted face in the mirror.
