About an hour later, at the entrance of the Panola Horse Gym, Ono Raizo and his girlfriend saw Orie stepping on the line drawn on the ground, with their hands propped in front of them, their hips raised high, and staring straight ahead in an extremely ridiculous posture . "Ready? Ready, one, two, three!" Lei Zang gave an order, and the two rushed forward.At this moment, they have to enter the two entrances of the maze on the other side of the forest. Whoever reaches the "Okunoin" in the center first will win. It is an obstacle race. In a normal race, Zhe Zhi couldn't beat Lei Zang at all.But in fact, not long after the start, Lei Zang was more than ten meters ahead.However, Zhezhi is very confident in her IQ, and believes that she must be the first to reach the destination.She thought she was more familiar with the maze than the careless man.

Right now, she is obviously getting farther and farther away from Lei Zang, but she doesn't show any signs of depression.Still obeying the rules, she ran into the maze from the east entrance. On both sides of the winding narrow road about half a room wide, there are fences more than ten feet high, towering to block out the sun.It is not correct to describe it as a fence, because a "fence" is a row of big trees with densely intertwined branches and leaves that cannot be seen from the opposite side, and they are pulled by strings, and vines are climbing on them. Needless to say, they cannot be separated, and it is even impossible to climb over past.Because if you can escape like that, the fun of exploring the maze will be lost.

Breaking branches and stepping into the maze, perhaps because of the shadows on the tall tree walls, the surrounding darkness seems to have entered dusk, it is extremely cold, and there is an inexplicable and oppressive silence everywhere.I don't know who is playing a prank on the fireworks field in the park. From time to time, there is the sound of "dong, dong" launching, and there is no other sound.Don't think that you will not lose your way just because you are familiar with this place.In fact, this is not the case. If you can figure out all the paths after seeing it once or twice, it is not a maze.It is called a maze because most people who enter will get lost.The tall hedges cut the endless sky into pieces, and people inside can only vaguely see the sun, part of the flying boat and the Ferris wheel, and can also see the fireworks blooming in the sky, and the yellow smoke falls straight down like a dragon .But even with these sights as markers, after all, walking on flat ground with a sweeping view would not be of much help.Or take the sky as a guiding map and walk towards the center, and you will inadvertently walk into a dead end, unable to advance or retreat.

The twists and turns, the endless dream trails.No matter how you walk, you will never reach the end of the crazy trail.Zhezhi couldn't help feeling panic, once the sense of frustration emerged, it was hard to contain it, the hairs on his neck stood on end in an instant, the cold wind was sharp and poured into the open pores like ice water. Her steps became more and more chaotic with the rhythm of her heartbeat.Tap, tap, Zhe Zhi heard his frantic footsteps, and walked even more hastily. Soon, Zhezhi heard another footstep that was completely different from his own.Is it an echo?Or psychological effect?No, not right.It was indeed the sound of human footsteps, the strong footsteps of men.Ah, it was Ono, he was on the other side of the tree wall, and the routes of the two coincided by chance.

"Ono?" Zhezhi couldn't help calling out, but the other party stopped abruptly.Although it was impossible to see the scene on the other side, it was a tree wall after all, at least the sound was clear. "Is it Twig?" Sure enough, it was Ono Raizo. "Well, I'm lost." "Me too, it seems that I've been spinning in circles since just now... Is there a way for you to come here?" "No, that will make you go farther and farther." In fact, even if you want to approach the other party by the voice, the road under your feet is like a lunatic, and you don't know when it will diverge in an unexpected direction.

"I'd like to try it, though. You, too. Any better ideas?" So, the two began to look for each other who were close at hand.It's a pity, as expected, the more eager to get closer, the farther away they are, and before they knew it, they could no longer hear each other's voices. Anxiety and fear made the broken branch sweat and wander aimlessly on the same path.The already forgotten fireworks fired again "bang", "bang", which made her heart almost jump out of her throat in fright. After a while, she suddenly gasped and stopped suddenly.There is an unusual sound.It wasn't ringing in the ears, it was indeed a human voice, and it was clearly a terrible moan of pain just before dying.

At first, it was a mournful murmur of "woo hoo", and after a second or two, there was the sound of gnashing of teeth, and it was still a deep sobbing voice. Broken Branch was terrified and couldn't speak for a moment.She moistened her throat and couldn't help calling out: "Ohno!" "Hey……" A man's response came from far away.Ah, it really wasn't Ono who moaned just now.So, besides her and Ohno, is there anyone else in the maze?Listen to that groan, the situation is not unusual, could it be a sudden attack?No no no, it seems not.Could it be that something terrible happened to that person?

"Zhezhi, where are you?" Ohno's voice sounded a little closer this time. "I'm here." "Did you hear the strange sound just now?" Ah, it's not an illusion, Ohno also noticed it. "Ok." "Something's not right, that's not like a normal moan." "Yeah, I think so too." "Hey, who's there?" Ohno yelled in the direction of Moan, but got no response, "It's strange, Moan is so weak, it's impossible to move freely... Could it be that he's already dead?" It sounds like it was undoubtedly the last struggle before dying.

"I am afraid." Zhezhi turned pale with fright, and even wanted to hold Ohno Wuxing's voice in his hands. "Wait a minute, I'll look for it." After finishing speaking, Ono began to walk up and down the area.Soon, an exclamation of "wow" came from an unexpected direction.
