1296: Chapter 1296: Malicious Intentions 1296: Chapter 1296: Malicious Intentions Along this path, thin stone pillars divided a narrow path into two even narrower paths.
When two people walked side by side to this point and encountered these thin pillars, their first reaction was to split up to avoid the pillars, causing the entire team to divide into two groups.
However, they could still see each other across the thin stone pillars and continue moving forward, knowing others were beside them.
A path that originally allowed two people to walk side by side had now been divided into two paths, with only one person able to walk each path.
As everyone walked, the two paths gradually widened, giving the illusion that the paths that had split apart were rging again, but this was not the case.
Eventually, the thin pillars disappeared, replaced by stone walls that completely separated the two paths.
When the paths widened enough for two people to walk side by side, the people at the back unknowingly caught up with those at the front, leading to another illusion that the path had truly rged and the team had regathered.
This deceptive design, combined with the dim environnt, could easily lead to mistakes if one wasn’t cautious.
If it weren’t for soone in the team noticing the issue with the path in ti and stopping their advance, more people would likely have followed.
Irina took a good look at the path and couldn’t help shaking her head, “It’s too late, I’m afraid those hundred people have already gotten lost here.”
Ouyang Jin disagreed, “It’s not just them who are lost, we’re lost too.
Do you think we can get out by retracing our steps?”
Hearing this, everyone felt it made sense, in this maze unless faced with a dead end, they could only move forward.
However, the dispersal of the team remained a problem.
Gu Fan could only hope that those ahead realized the disconnection and quickly ca back, so there was a possibility of regrouping.
After a long wait, still no one appeared, and the group began to worry.
Those people had been gone for so long, they should have noticed the problem and should have returned to look for Gu Fan and the others.
A mber of the Hunter’s Guild couldn’t help but say, “They might have encountered sothing.”
Soone imdiately scolded, “Stop saying nonsense, having one doomsayer here is enough.”
“Wait, don’t include when you speak,” Lu Yi felt wronged once again.
Then he thought of sothing, “Could it be that this is just a maze?
There shouldn’t be any danger, right?”
Everyone tensed up upon hearing this, giving Lu Yi angry looks.
Lu Yi knew he had misspoken and quickly shut up, shrinking his neck.
Gu Fan crossed his arms, a stern look on his face, “This ti, I agree with Lu Yi’s point.
If it’s just a maze, that’s really too simple.”
Well, since even Gu Fan said so, everyone dropped their complaints.
Moreover, thinking carefully, since it was arranged by the artificial intelligence Xiaolan, it definitely wouldn’t use a benign thod like a maze to greet everyone.
“This ti, you’re wrong!” Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan suddenly appeared, looking very cheerful.
Lu Yi protested, “Could you give so warning before you show up, so we can be ntally prepared?”
“Ugh, I would actually enjoy scaring you to death,” Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan said, rendering Lu Yi’s protest invalid.
Hearing this, Lu Yi was so angry he wanted to strangle the artificial intelligence Xiaolan.
Ouyang Jin shrugged helplessly, “Give it up, Lu Yi, it’s their turf, they can do what they want, just endure it.”
“I endure, endure, endure!” Lu Yi was extrely displeased but was helpless against this artificial intelligence Xiaolan.
Gu Fan faced Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan with a solemn expression, “Tell us, what tricks are you playing?”
Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan smiled slightly, “It’s nothing much, just a maze that you might never escape from in your lifetis.
I’m very curious to see what choices you will make in a state of utter despair without any food or water.”
“What do you an?” Gu Fan furrowed his brow, feeling that the lack of apparent danger in the maze was actually the greatest danger.
Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan looked at Lu Yi and then smirked maliciously, which scared Lu Yi.
Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan added, “Rember my previous suggestion?
If you want to live, just kill Lu Yi.”
“What?
After all this ti, you still hold a grudge.
No wonder you took a woman’s form,” Lu Yi was infuriated and kicked out, but his foot passed through the holographic image.
Maintaining a polite smile, Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan said, “Can’t help it, this is my domain, I set the rules, and I play how I want.”
“That’s going too far!” Gu Fan was discontent, this was forcing everyone to turn on each other.
Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan explained, “What, I haven’t set any traps in this maze to deal with you, and I gave you ample ti, isn’t that rciful and just?
Should I have a giant iron ball rolling around crushing you one by one for you to be satisfied?”
Hearing this, everyone panicked, “No, no, big sister, we appreciate your kindness, thank you for what you’ve done for us.”
What else could Gu Fan say at this point but thank her for not arranging brutal traps.
“That’s right!” Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan smiled slightly, “You better hurry and find a way out.
But let tell you, you absolutely won’t find one.
Finding an exit here is like finding a needle in a haystack.”
“Even if it’s finding a needle in a haystack, I want to try,” Gu Fan displayed his resolve not to give up, and Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan admired that, “Right, I enjoy watching you struggle desperately until the last mont when you give up, the look of despair in your eyes.”
Lu Yi couldn’t help but exclaim, “My God, what kind of person created you, how unbalanced must their mindset be?”
Hearing this, the smile on Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan’s face stiffened, as if struck by a sore spot.
Irina had already seen a hint of savagery flash through several people’s eyes around her, quickly guessing their thoughts, causing her to sense that a worse internal rift than the external crisis might soon unfold.
“Gu Fan, what will you do now?” If it were before, Irina might have thought about killing Lu Yi for a way out, but now she really regarded Gu Fan and Lu Yi as companions.
Everyone looked at Gu Fan, waiting for his decision.
“Okay, you all keep trying, I’ll co back to check on you after a while.” After saying that, Artificial Intelligence Xiaolan disappeared on the spot.
