Mystic Dominator

The only light was right in front of me.

It tracks the nearest maze challengers around it, targeting those closest to it first.

These two conditions are the rules that Ronald and Patricia just tried out in the maze.

When he heard Patricia, Ronald was stunned and immediately realized what the other party wanted to do.

Patricia wanted to divert the light from the watchtower and create a chance for herself to pass through the maze!

"Patricia, no..."

Ronald immediately stopped Patricia's movement.

However, the response speed of the watchtower lights is much faster than that of humans. As soon as Ronald said the words, the lights guarding the intersection suddenly flickered and then moved towards Patricia!

"..."

Patricia didn't say anything unnecessary.

She only gave Ronald a trusting look, then turned around and ran to the other side of the maze, without any trace of hesitation or fear at her feet.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, Patricia and the lights chasing her disappeared in front of Ronald.

According to the wisest logical judgment, he should take advantage of the opportunity that Patricia created for him and walk towards the exit of the maze without any obstacles.

Snap—pop—

Ronald took two steps forward, but his figure suddenly froze in place.

Although he was not restrained by anything at this moment, he could not take even one step.

"..."

"People are sometimes emotionally driven creatures, and there's nothing we can do about it."

After two breaths, Ronald sighed in a low voice at his immaturity and irrationality. Then he turned around resolutely and rushed straight into the depths of the maze.

And behind Ronald.

The empty road is waiting for the footsteps of the maze challenger,

Although it cannot speak, it seems to be waiting for the arrival of someone who is truly qualified to pass here.

…

In the maze, Patricia was still chasing and escaping with the beam of light behind her.

In terms of time, she has bought enough time for Ronald, and now there will be no problem even if he is sent back to the entrance of the military fortress maze.

But she is Patricia.

The reluctance in her heart and her constant frankness made her never consider the possibility of voluntary surrender.

Even if you really want to be thrown out of the maze.

That would only happen after he has exhausted himself or been caught up.

"..."

While running, Patricia couldn't help but think -

I hope that my efforts this time will allow Ronald to successfully conquer this maze. After all, the dangerous existence called Gwendolen is not a good thing at first glance...

"Patricia, come here!"

"ah?"

Just as Patricia was running, a familiar voice sounded from ahead.

She looked up.

Ronald, who looked like a maze man, was standing on the left side of the fork in front of him, waving his arms toward himself with great effort.

Patricia subconsciously rushed to Ronald's position, and then suddenly realized:

"Ronald, why are you here!"

"Of course I'm here to pick you up! The two of us have to go through the maze together!"

"..."

Patricia was silent for a moment.

She ran up to Ronald without saying a word, and then he grabbed her hand and started running away in the maze. The expression on Patricia's face was puzzled and bitter, but only in the corner of her mouth, there was a completely different smile.

"Ronald, it's okay even if I can't get in..."

Ronald interrupted Patricia directly:

"Even if you are illuminated by the light from the watchtower, at best you will be sent back to the entrance of the maze - I know this."

"But Patricia, I want to go through this maze with you!"

"I want it so!"

"Leave yourself alone to go through the maze or something, even if it is indeed the most correct choice, I am not willing to do it!"

"..."

Patricia lowered her head.

It was rare for her not to observe the path of the maze herself, but to leave everything to Ronald who held her palm:

"Ronald, if you act like this, you will easily fail in many things."

Ronald said bluntly:

"It's okay, I don't care."

When two people are running in the maze, the distance between them is the length between their arms. But the position of their hearts became closer as they passed through several turns on the left and right.

The beam of light was still chasing Ronald and the two behind him.

During this period, Ronald took Patricia and escaped from the threat range of the watchtower, but this time the beam did not stop in place.

It shows far more intelligence than other watchtowers.

After chasing the target and escaping from the range, the beam will automatically return to the only road along the maze route and stop, just like a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait.

Faced with such changes, Patricia couldn't help but speak:

"Ronald, let's..."

"I have a plan." Ronald interrupted Patricia immediately, and then told her about his plan at the edge of the maze wall, "Based on the movement rules of this beam, we We can also safely enter the exit together..."

Ronald laid out his plan clearly.

Then the two took action immediately.

They immediately returned to the main road of the maze, but they came to the light beam without hesitation, directly attracting each other and starting a new round of maze chasing.

But this time the chase wasn't just a simple escape.

Ronald once again brought the beam to the edge of its activity, and then just when the beam was about to turn back, he took Patricia back into the opponent's locking range.

This time, the beam of light was not far away, so he immediately turned back and continued the chase.

But in this opportunity of creation, Ronald had already led Patricia to switch to an easier passage.

Run forward for a while and the same operation continues.

Ronald and Patricia switched paths again, and the beam of light kept going back and forth.

Normally, the light beam located on the inside would definitely block the way of Ronald and the other two.

But through the observation just now, Ronald has already confirmed a clue.

The lights on the watchtower, like people, move along the path of the maze. They cannot directly cross the walls!

As long as you make full use of this, you can completely pass the obstruction of the light beam here!

The plan progresses little by little on the run.

Finally, after Ronald and Patricia changed their route in the maze for the sixth time, the light caught up again this time, and the situation became completely different.

If it ends at the maze entrance.

Now the relationship between them is that the light is chasing behind, and Ronald is in front, rushing directly to the structure of the exit of the maze.

In other words——

As long as they don't get caught up in the final sprint, they will definitely win!
