Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 186 One hundred and one. Labyrinth room

   A palm suddenly stretched out, grabbed the unbalanced Doma's wrist, and dragged her back to the path.

   regained her footing, Doma let out a hot breath, and glanced at Lu Li with her brown pupils, but said nothing.

  The opposite Owen threw the corpse of the dwarf puppet over, Doma raised his hand to catch it, stepped aside for Frank and Owen to jump over, and pulled the two guys who were also leaning forward and almost plunged into the swamp.

  The wooden sign in the center of the swamp is obviously a trap. When the five people successfully walked to the next door, a timely narration sounded to tell them the meaning of the trap.

  【You may have lost yourself and forgotten your purpose. But with the help of excellent companions, you have successfully found your own path]

  Is that so...

  Irving almost understood the purpose of this level.

   They didn't need to jump to the center of the swamp to read the contents of the wooden sign. The door to the next level is right in front of you, just go there.

   This level reminds them. Focus on your goals when doing things, distractions and pointless curiosity can kill you.

   Especially when conducting an incident as an investigator.

  Owen observed the others, Lu Li and Daniel looked calm, Frank was thoughtful, only Doma didn't want to open the wooden door in front of him and walked into the next level behind the door.

   I hope she understands, just too lazy to show it

   Owen thought to himself.

  …

  .

   Lu Li's soft sound of closing the door caught the attention of several people, and then withdrew their gazes.

  【The maze blocks your way, you must have an extremely firm heart to pass it】

   The first time the narration sounded, Owen looked at Doma.

   As he imagined, Doma tried to smash the towering stone wall connecting the sky with the corpse of the dwarf puppet.

   This is useless.

   "It seems that we can only walk the maze honestly." Owen analyzed. "But the narrator seems to have given us some hints."

   "What did you think of again?" asked Frank in confusion.

  If anyone else said that, Owen might have thought he was mocking his previous misanalysis, but everyone knows that Frank is a very kind big boy.

"'It takes an incredibly strong heart to get through it', that's the narrator's cue. There can be scary and bewildering hurdles after we enter the maze that will hold us back. So all we have to do is No way back."

   "I like this!" Doma rubbed the weapon in the palm of his hand.

   "Maybe you're right, we can try." Frank was eager to try.

  Lu Li and Daniel have never expressed their opinions, so it means that Owen's proposal passed unanimously.

  Owen quickly blocked Doma, who was already rushing to the right intersection: "Wait a minute, let's discuss how to go first."

The entrance to the    labyrinth is divided into left and right sides, and there must be a fork in it. Before entering, they must make sure that they encounter a fork and go there.

   "Stay to the right!" Doma waved the dwarf puppet.

   Owen and Frank exchanged glances, and the plan was finalized: proceed along the right wall.

   On the way, Owen asked Doma to leave some marks on the walls of the labyrinth, and then continued forward.

  Lu Li still walked at the end, and he followed Owen and others around the room without seeing anything.

  The outsider Lu Li couldn't see anything, so he could only analyze their current situation through the communication between Owen and others. For example, they saw the mark they left.

   "We circled back again...?" Frank stared blankly at the mark.

  Owen didn't think so, and there was a faint flicker of excitement in his eyes: "No, remember that prompt? Be firm... Maybe my guess is right."

   "So we just have to keep going?" Frank asked.

   "That's right."

   Silent Lu Li looked at the swamp wooden door that was within reach.

   They don't know yet that they've circled back to where they started.

   The pace of progress has not stopped. As time goes by, the number of times they pass the mark begins to increase, three, five, seven...

  Dorma's impatience increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the confidence on Owen's face began to fade, replaced by doubts about himself.

   Only Frank is as optimistic as ever.

   Lu Li, who can see through the illusion, noticed that as the number of times increased, they no longer just circled in front of the entrance, but began to approach the exit.

   Now they have come to the middle of the room. If they continued like this, sooner or later they would reach the wooden door opposite.

   "We've seen this mark for the fourteenth time."

   Owen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and the towering blue-gray walls around them were like a prison, trapping them here. The repetitive monotony of the surrounding made him begin to question his own judgment.

   "I feel like we've been going in circles."

  Frank patted Owen on the shoulder: "But we have to persevere, right?"

   "It's pointless!" Doma growled, fed up with going around in circles.

  Frank asked Daniel for help: "What do you think we should do now?"

  “…”

  Daniel said nothing.

   Frank asked Xiang Lu Li again, "What do you think, Lu Li?"

"It will be all right."

   "Let's change direction..." At this time, Owen no longer insisted on guessing, and said: "Let's turn left at the next fork in the road."

  Dorma can do anything, as long as he doesn't see the **** mark anymore, Frank hesitates, but agrees anyway.

   So when the next fork appeared in front of them, they turned to the left, and at the same time, a door appeared in front of them.

   An excited Doma walked quickly to the door and opened the wooden door. The scenery behind the door appeared in front of everyone, and the dark purple silt was bubbling with corrupt and stench.

   They went back to where they started.

   crunch——

   The wooden door held by Doma made a sour sound.

   "That...can I say something?"

Frank stood up cautiously and said, "I think Owen's idea is right, we just go back to the starting point because we can't make up our minds. As long as we go along one wall, we will always reach the next wooden door. We are in During the assessment, the four persons in charge are observing us, we won't really be trapped here, right?"

  Frank's consolation made Owen feel better, and it also made Doma less impatient. After closing the wooden door of the swamp level, they set off again.

   Five times, ten times, fifteen times, twenty times, thirty times... The signs continued to appear on the road they passed.

   "How long do we have to go?" The dwarf puppet in Doma's hand was about to be crushed by her.

   "It will always come to the exit." Frank cheered the crowd.

   "It's been thirty times." Owen hesitated.

   In this case, everyone's strengths and weaknesses are exposed: Doma is irascible but unexpectedly strong, Owen is smart but can't fully believe in himself, Frank is kind and friendly but has no opinion.

   "Lu Li, is there anything you can do?" Unable to handle Frank, he asked Lu Li for help.

"continue."

   said Lu Li, looking forward.

  The wooden door of the next level is within easy reach.
