When everyone came to the lobby on the second floor, Guo Lixia was beside Shi Zhendong persuading something: "Anyway, what we have to do now is to find the signature quickly, and then quickly escape from the painting, maybe those people are still saved."

Shi Zhendong smiled bitterly and couldn't say anything. Seeing that everyone was coming downstairs, he didn't wait for everyone to persuade him and stood up: "Go to the first floor for dinner, and work after dinner."

Wei Dong opened the door of his bedroom, looked inside, then closed the door and came out.

"Is Ye Ningchen's body missing?" Qin Ci asked.

Wei Dong nodded, unconsciously sighing: "The first time we saw Xiaoye, we felt that she was a particularly good girl, warm and sensible, who knew she was involved in the painting in the end..."

Miao Zipei asked: "Where have the bodies of Ye Ningchen and He Yu gone?"

"Probably the painting is clearing the scene," Zhu Haowen answered him, "Perhaps for the boss, those who are contaminated with colors are the most meaningless existence."

"It doesn't matter if it is meaningless, at least it doesn't feel so painful when Xiaoye leaves." Wei Dong remembered Xin Beibei who had lost his head in the blue liquid, and felt that Ye Ningchen would be much luckier.

Everyone went back to the lobby on the first floor and simply had breakfast, and then divided the work. After some discussions, one person was left in each room to continue working: the purple room is Wei Dong, the blue room is Guo Lixia, and the yellow room is Qin Ci, the green room is Shi Zhendong.

Shi Zhendong had no intentions to continue searching, so she volunteered to stay and work.

There are fewer and fewer people, leaving only five people responsible for finding signatures.

The five people first found paper and pen in the drawer of the hall, and then went to the fourth floor window to look down and draw the maze. Because of the angle, it is impossible to look down at 90 degrees. Therefore, the northern half of the maze is not clearly drawn. Can draw a rough idea.

"Xin Beibei mentioned several times about going to the labyrinth. If she was really bewitched by the painting, then what was her purpose of going to the labyrinth?" Mi Wei analyzed along the way, "After all, in full view, she too It's impossible to do anything."

"When she contaminated Ye Ningchen's skirt with blue berries, there was no one beside her," Zhu Haowen said.

Mi Wei frowned and said nothing.

When everyone came outside the castle, they still went to the pool to take a look.

The pool seemed to sense someone coming to watch it, and suddenly it spewed crystal clear spring water, and the coins at the bottom of the pool were shiny.

Several people approached the pool and carefully observed the coins. Everyone found the coin with their own pattern first. Only Ke Xun was the first to find the familiar curly grass pattern, and then he found his own wave pattern.

The little flower pattern belonging to Ye Ningchen No. 1 disappeared, and the diamond pattern of Xin Beibei disappeared.

The statue in the center of the pool is still the invisible black stone, like a huge physical shadow.

"About the shadow, I have a few thoughts." It was Mi Wei who spoke.

The crowd motioned to her to continue.

"Since Xin Beibei was dragged away by her own shadow last night, can we understand that it was her shadow that betrayed her first." Mi Wei's gaze gradually deepened, "Shadow comes from the scientific category Speaking, there is nothing to explain, but we are now in a painting that has nothing to do with science, so the shadow may be given another meaning."

"You mean, Xin Beibei is not completely deceived by her, but her shadow?" Zhu Haowen said.

Mi Wei nodded: "Since the picture we entered is called "Shadow", then the shadow must play a very important role in the painting."

The shadow statue in the center of the pool seemed to be spied on some secret, and more and higher water sprays were sprayed to try to cover it up.

Mi Wei continued: "But what puzzles me is that the shadow can actually drive Xin Beibei's body. It can be seen that the power of the shadow is very great. But what is the big hand that Ke Ge said pinched Xin Beibei's neck? Whose hand is it? It will never be Xin Beibei's own."

This is exactly what Mu Yiran was thinking about just now.

Mi Wei continued: "If there is indeed an invisible person holding Xin Beibei, then is the person who controls the shadow and this invisible person the same person? If the shadow alone can hold the body, why bother to suffocate it? Is it to prevent it from calling for help?"

Miao Zipei, who hasn't spoken for a long time, also gave his own analysis: "When a person is dragged, it is difficult for the person strangling her neck."

"There must be something more powerful that dominates everything. When the night is completely dark, it should be when that thing shows up." Ke Xun looked at the black sculpture in the pool and felt a little uncomfortable. It felt like Many people are wrapped in a black skin bag, who are struggling to rush out.

"Go to the labyrinth." Mu Yiran unfolded the blueprint in his hand and walked towards the labyrinth first.

The area of ​​this maze is about half the size of a football field. The walls of the maze are made of dense shrubs, and the fluffy green plants are trimmed neatly. It's really a fairy tale as Xin Beibei said. effect.

Five people standing outside the maze: Mu Yiran, Ke Xun, Zhu Haowen, Miao Zipei, Mi Wei.

"It's better to go in with two people and the other three to guard outside." Zhu Haowen made a suggestion, and looked at Ke Xun with his eyes, as if he had a foreboding that this person would bravely rush forward.

Ke Xun was planning to seek the opinion of the chief shepherd this time: "Mi Wei is a girl, not suitable for mazes. Miao Zipei is bookish, thin and weak, and not suitable for him. Among the remaining three people, the most suitable for sitting You are the only one in the battle."

Zhu Haowen: Guessed wrong, dare to love this guy not only volunteered, but also brought me on.

Before Mu Yiran could speak, Zhu Haowen gave Ke Xun a step directly: "Then we two will enter."

Mu Yiran didn't say any more, and directly handed over the two ropes: "Be careful, the rope must be stretched, and if there is a danger, pull the rope."

"Don't worry." The two words Ke Xun seemed to weigh a lot, lowered his head and tied the rope tightly around his waist.

Zhu Haowen also tied the rope, holding a drawing in his hand.

When the two people walked into the maze with the rope, Ke Xun felt like letting out two good dogs...

According to the drawings, the two people slowly walked into the inner circle of the maze. Not only did they rely on the drawings and the rope, they also made marks on the way they passed.

But the actual experience is different from that on paper. After all, two people still have the wrong path.

When the two walked into the first dead end, they suddenly discovered that there was an imperceptible door at the end of the dead end.

It is indeed a door, a door made of plants.

Ke Xun and Zhu Haowen looked at each other: Is there such a door in every wrong way?

"Let me come, the door is green." Zhu Haowen still firmly remembers the color he belongs to-green.

Ke Xun raised his forehead and smiled: Hao Wener is too serious.

Zhu Haowen opened the green door of plants. Inside was a small space with some ropes and maintenance tools. The most eye-catching one was an entrance on the floor.

"This is to the underground." Zhu Haowen said to Ke Xun, standing at the door.

"We don't have time to dive into the ground now, so we should try to get out of the maze first." Ke Xun felt that the rope around his waist was straining, and couldn't help shouting: "We're all right, we just went the wrong way!"

The end of the rope was loose, which seemed to indicate that I heard it.

The three people outside were reserved enough, and none of them responded loudly.

Ke Xun and Zhu Haowen continued to look at the drawings and move forward. They had to stop and take a look every time they passed the wrong road. Sure enough, there was a door made of plants hidden in every dead end. Zhu Haowen only opened two of them and found that The structure is similar, and there is an entrance to the underground on the floor.

The two people gradually reached the center of the maze, because they entered from the northwest corner of the maze. According to the top view, the exit of the maze is located at the southeast corner.

"It's a pity that there is no sun in this world, otherwise we can distinguish the direction based on the sun." Zhu Haowen looked at the blueprint in his hand. The north pointed to is just the north in everyone's imagination-according to Chinese custom, buildings usually face north. South, so everyone marked the direction of the castle as north.

"If the exit is in the southeast corner, it happens to be what I saw last night..." Ke Xun suddenly fell silent and looked at Zhu Haowen, who was also cautious.

If the green plants in the maze can be called walls, then the current situation can be called: there are people on the wall.

It was a gentle sound of footsteps, walking past the road of the partition wall.

Although it is broad daylight, it still feels terrifying.

When did this person appear in the maze? When everyone looked down at the maze from a height just now, they didn't see anything unusual in it.

The sound of footsteps stepped on the grass on the ground and made a special sound, which gradually disappeared into the distance.

"Is this person passing by, or has been following us?" Zhu Haowen asked softly.

Ke Xun can only judge by intuition: "I think this person suddenly appeared just now. Maybe he passed by here, maybe he lives in the maze."

There are some things Ke Xun didn't say: There is another possibility, this person is following us.

The two of them talked and walked forward slowly, only then did they find that the rope was getting tighter, and it seemed that the length was not enough.

Mi Wei's shout finally came from outside the maze: "Come out first! The rope is not enough! Come out! Don't take risks!"

At this time, no one dared to take the risk easily, so the two people walked back along the way they came. When they passed the center of the maze again, both of them couldn't help stopping.

The center of the maze is easy to identify, and you can see from the top view that there is a small circular space in the center of the maze.

On the wall of this circular space, a door can be vaguely seen.

Zhu Haowen stepped forward and gently opened the door.

Inside was a simple living room, but what attracted the attention of two people more was the glass bottle placed against the wall, filled with pure red liquid.

This glass bottle is not big, less than one meter in height.

The two of them squinted their eyes for a long time, but the red liquid was too thick, and they couldn't see what was inside.

"Go back first." Zhu Haowen looked at the big entrance on the floor of the room, as if thinking of something.

Ke Xun also thought about it. Both of them no longer said clearly, but walked back along the way they came. Because there was a rope for indexing, the two quickly returned to the entrance of the maze.

The three people waiting at the entrance were full of concern.

Ke Xun's voice is low: "The maze and the castle are probably connected underground."
