Chapter 56: The Underground Labyrinth

  "Perhaps I don't need to say it, you should already know why?" The indifferent woman calmly looked at Li Ling's puzzled face, finished speaking, and turned around, walking towards the mechanical door.

  "Hurry up, we've wasted enough time already." The apathetic woman said to Li Ling with her back turned.

  Li Ling helplessly shrugged his shoulders, feeling that this woman was too indifferent, just like the first impression she gave Li Ling, like a cold robot.

  However, facing such an underground labyrinth, anyone would feel helpless and surprised. At least Li Ling knew that he was calm enough, at least not like others who were too scared to move forward.

  The underground labyrinth is a passage of more than five meters wide, not a wall, if you really get lost in this labyrinth, then unfortunately, you may have to spend the rest of your time here, because you can't climb over the walls and walk out of the labyrinth.

  Facing such a maze, Li Lingke didn't dare to be careless and closely followed the indifferent woman's back, just as the indifferent woman said, no one would lead the way, you might not think of walking out of this maze for your whole life.

  The apathetic woman pressed the green close button on the mechanical door wall after entering the maze entrance, and all of a sudden, there was a sound of mechanical movement, and the door closed.

  Li Ling could guess that in order to pull this mechanical door, the power required must be very large, and it is likely to be nuclear-powered, because this door is not something that ordinary mechanical strength can pull.

  "Was this grand maze also left behind sixty years ago?" Li Ling asked curiously.

  "This is not, this is our own research and development design, and this maze is designed by the world's most famous maze master, divided into three regions: ring-shaped region, square-shaped region, and lost region!" The indifferent woman said.

  "As for the circular area and square area, I can imagine them, but what is the situation with the lost area?" Li Ling closely followed behind the apathetic woman, occasionally remembering the direction of the maze, such as left, front, right! In case the apathetic woman loses her way, she can abandon herself in the maze, and Li Ling can still recall these directions to get out of the maze.

  This is also some survival skills as an assassin, must keep oneself safe.

  Moreover, memorizing these things, Li Ling himself is the most skilled, although it's estimated that he has to recite no less than a thousand directional markers in his mouth, but for Li Ling, who was once an assassin, memory is the strongest skill.

  "As for the Lost Area, it's the easiest of the three labyrinths to get wrong. Once you enter this area, it's like being in a myriad of labyrinths at once." The apathetic woman said.

  "If I'm not mistaken, we should be in a square area now, because the walls here are all straight lines, parallel and vertical." Li Ling said with a smile.

  The walls of a square maze must be linear, and such a maze is also the simplest maze, which is often seen by people, and it is also the easiest to walk out.

  In a square maze, you just need to remember the direction and can generally walk out.

  "Right, anyone with an IQ over a hundred can guess that. There's nothing to be excited about." The apathetic woman said.

  Li Ling said he didn't mean to show off his cleverness.

  "Ahead of us is the circular maze. Circular mazes usually have a central strip, and this one is the largest in the world, with five hundred rings!" The apathetic woman said.

  "Five hundred rings, calculated by radius, if one ring is six meters, then this annular maze is a huge circular maze with a radius of three thousand meters!" Li Ling was shocked and speechless.

  What a huge project! With so much money spent on building such protective measures, what is it for?

  First was the government office, then these three great mazes. Li Ling had to be serious because the purpose of the person who invited him was not ordinary. Moreover, if he wanted to consider its unknown nature, this was the most uncertain time for Li Ling to retreat safely since his birth.

  "I'm starting to wonder if I was right to come here?" Li Ling said with a bitter smile.

  "People who come here will have doubts, not just you." The indifferent woman said.

  "If you pose a threat to me, I might just take you as a hostage." Li Ling didn't mind expressing such intentions because she didn't really want to take her as a hostage, but rather wanted to extract some information.

  "No need, for we have no ill intentions towards you." The apathetic woman said.

  Li Ling let out a faint sigh, it had come to this point, Li Ling could only temporarily believe.

  "And besides, there's someone you know here." The apathetic woman continued.

  "Who is the person I know?" Li Ling asked curiously.

  "Sorry, I won't answer questions within the limit, you can only rely on your own eyes to discover." The apathetic woman took Li Ling through this ring-shaped maze, and because it was ring-shaped, all the roads had a curvature.

  "Ah, forget it. It's all circular here, remembering left and right doesn't serve any purpose anyway. As long as I follow you closely, that's enough." Li Ling exhaled a breath of air and relaxed.

  The apathetic woman was slightly surprised.

  "Have you been recording the directions here all along?" The apathetic woman said.

  "Yes." Li Ling replied, no need to hide it. After all, this is one of the ways to protect oneself.

  "While discussing the issue with me, you can also recall memories. How did you manage to do that?" The indifferent woman began to take an interest in Li Ling.

  "It's very simple, just focus on two things." Li Ling smiled mischievously.

  "With a single heart and two uses, how can such things be done?" The apathetic woman looked at Li Ling's eyes and said thoughtfully.

  "You'd better watch the road, don't look at me. I can do two things at once, it's been trained by the old man, or it can be said that consciousness and subconsciousness are used simultaneously!" Li Ling replied.

  "Consciousness and subconsciousness are simultaneously activated." The apathetic woman let out a faint sigh, then said: "I just have stronger consciousness."

  "I see," Li Ling said with a faint smile.

  "It seems that Boss has found you for no reason." The indifferent woman seemed to have let out a sigh of relief.

  "Who is this 'old big' in your mouth?" Li Ling became more and more interested in this old big.

  The apathetic woman looked at Li Ling.

  "Alright, alright, I know this is another internal matter, I won't ask then."

  "Hmm..." The apathetic woman responded with a single grunt and fell silent, focusing on leading the way.

  Li Ling saw that it was impossible to get the information he wanted from this apathetic woman, so he quietly followed behind her.

  Half an hour later, the two passed through the central area of the ring maze. Another half an hour later, the two passed through the ring maze.

  "This is the last labyrinth, the Labyrinth of Lost Souls. The entire maze is made up of overlapping mirror walls, so to get out of here, you'll have to rely solely on your intuition." The apathetic woman said.

  Li Ling looked at the mirrors in surprise, not only were the walls mirrors, but also the floor was a mirror. Once someone walked in, thousands of reflections of themselves would appear, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.

  "My god, this..." Li Ling knew that once he went in, he probably wouldn't even be able to tell if the aloof woman was real or fake.

  "Take my hand." The apathetic woman stretched out her hand towards Li Ling.

  Li Ling wiped his hands, gave an awkward smile, and took the hand of the cold woman. Her palm was warm, Li Ling smiled and said: "Okay, maybe this is the only way. Once we enter the maze later, you must not let go of my hand!"

  This lost labyrinth is completely a mirrored world!
