"Ono, Ohno!" Seeing that Zhezhi seemed to be strangled by someone, he screamed frantically, calling helplessly for his invisible lover. No wonder.I lost my way in the dark maze with nine turns and eighteen turns. I was already in a panic, but something terrible happened outside the two or three tree paths out of sight.The groan before dying sent chills down one's spine, and Ohno, who was at the scene, screamed that the situation was extraordinary.Even Ono was so frightened, something must have happened. "Hey, Broken Branch, it's terrible! Go outside and find someone!" Lei Zang shouted in a panic.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to get out of this maze for a while. "Who did you see? What's the situation?" Zhezhi also tried his best to shout at the top of his voice, and ran across the path recklessly.She can't sit still. "It's Chimanko!" Ono replied. "Hey, what's the matter with Zhimanzi?" Zhezhi, who was running in the winding labyrinth path, asked pantingly, "What's the matter with her?" However, no matter how much he asked, Ohno didn't reply.Perhaps the scene was so horrific that Ohno was speechless. "Ah, is that broken branch over there?" Suddenly, Ono Raizo's voice sounded from the other side of the tree wall.Before they knew it, the two were already close at hand.

"Yes. What happened to Chimanko?" Although he still couldn't see it, but knowing that the other party was nearby, Zhezhi immediately lowered his volume and asked again. Therefore, Lei Zang described the scene he witnessed in an unusually serious tone: "Zhi Manzi was killed, and she died in a miserable state. She had a dagger stabbed in her back, and she was covered in blood..." With the green wall in front of his eyes, he couldn't see the figure of the other party, only the trembling voice came through like a wisp of light smoke from the gap between the leaves, and what he said was that kind of terrifying content again, "Huh..." Zhezhi couldn't help but Zhu took a deep breath, was dumbfounded, and lost his voice for a moment.

"Is there any suspicious figure near you? Did you meet anyone just now?" Lei Zang's voice became a little lower. "No, why do you ask that?" "The murderer who killed Zhimanzi may still be spinning in the maze." Hearing what Lei Zang said, the blood in Zhezhi's whole body seemed to freeze immediately. "I didn't see anyone..." Her voice was breathless, "Did you find anyone?" "No, but I heard the footsteps of the other party. When I saw Zhimanzi fell to the ground, I caught a glimpse of a black shadow whirlwind and heard the sound of footsteps."

The two talked in a very low voice, and the content was like a ghost story, which was really scary. "It's so scary, I'm scared. What should I do? Can you find a way to come and accompany me? I feel very uneasy by myself." Zhezhi choked up his words, pleading to the invisible figure. "At the moment, the most important thing is to inform everyone as soon as possible...be brave, and try to find the exit, and I will go out as soon as possible. It's just..." "Well, what?" "It's just that you must be careful of the guy who killed Zhimanzi. If you hear footsteps, even if you don't see anyone, you have to call for help immediately, understand?"

"I'm so scared that I can't even take a step. Come here quickly." "Okay, but I don't know if I can get there smoothly..." Before he finished speaking, Lei Zang's hasty footsteps went away. Abandoned in a dark path surrounded by tall forest walls, Broken Branch is almost breathless in horror. She wanted to call Ohno back, but she dared not speak out, considering that the cruel murderer might still be lingering nearby. When she noticed, her armpits were already wet with sweat, her legs were numb, and she couldn't control them. However, staying in the same place all the time is even more frightening and hopeless.At this moment, even in vain, she still wanted to try to find an exit and escape from this maze as soon as possible.

She pulled herself together, stepped on her weak legs, and suddenly ran wildly. The dark tree walls on both sides kept receding, and the maze stretched endlessly.The more anxious she was to escape, the deeper she got into it. When I came back to my senses, I didn't know where the sound of "tattling" footsteps came from. "Ah, that's great, Da Ye is nearby." Thinking of this, Zhe Zhi suddenly became more courageous. "Daye!" she called out in a low voice. However, there was no answer for a long time.There is only the sound of "click" footsteps.

"Daye?" Zhezhi couldn't hold back, and shouted again. But the other party still didn't answer, just kept running on their own. "Eh, it's strange. Ah, could it be..." Broken Branch's heart nearly popped out of his throat.Could it be that the sound of footsteps came from a terrifying murderer?Yes, it must be.Shouting so loudly, but the other party ignored him, he must be the murderer. The more frightened the broken branch was, the faster he walked unconsciously.Her throat was dry and her heart was about to explode. After recklessly turning the steep bend ahead, a person suddenly jumped out of the opposite corner five or six meters away.

Zhazhi screamed reflexively, and froze on the spot. The other party also seemed to be taken aback, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. That really wasn't Ono.If Ohno encounters a broken branch, he will not turn around and run away.If so, who is it?It's a pity that Zhezhi didn't have time to see the person's face clearly.The incident happened suddenly, and she didn't even have the impression of the color of the other person's clothes, so she could only be sure that it was not a woman.The other party was wearing trousers, and was short, perhaps even shorter than the woman Zhe Zhi.

Zhazhi pricked up his ears to listen, tap, tap, the footsteps of the gangster gradually faded away. After the sound of footsteps disappeared completely, Zhazhi turned around and dashed back, scurrying around, no longer thinking about how to get out of the maze smoothly.She just wanted to get out of that place, away. Turning and turning, suddenly the eyes suddenly opened up, and there was an open field in front of me.However, she did not leave the maze, but broke into the square in the center of the maze, the so-called Okunoin. There is a bench in the center of Okunoin.There was something red and white rolling around the foot of the chair.It was the corpse of Zhukou Zhimanzi covered in blood.

There was only a short sword hilt on the back of the white silk clothes, and the blade was completely hidden in Zhimanzi's body. The silk clothes were stained red with bright red blood paste, and the white hands and struggling legs were all exposed to the roots. Of course, Zhimanzi was not breathing.
