Chapter 112 - 112: 112: Congratulations on Clearing the Second Maze
“Because they’ve gone into the mirror.”
Bai Youwei laughed scornfully:
“According to the logic of the maze game, we understand our real selves through the mirror, and to prove that we have accepted the ‘real me’, we must leave the maze with them. Only then will it be considered a perfect ending ugh, I feel like throwing up.”
She moved forward in her wheelchair.
Shen MO held her back.
Bai Youwei looked up at him, “Don’t worry, I was 80% sure before, but now I’m 100% sure.”
Shen MO frowned, did not try to convince her otherwise, but simply held the armrest of her wheelchair and said, “Let’s go in together.”
Bai Youwei looked at him, paused for a moment, and then nodded, “Alright.”
Both of them stepped through the door together, their figures soon merging into the white mist and disappearing from sight.
Tan Xiao looked left and right, didn’t notice anything unusual, so he just went in too.
Then came Chen Hui.
Followed by Zhang Tianyang and his classmates.
Teacher Chang was the last to stay behind, estimating that everyone had safely exited before he reluctantly moved into the doorway, leaning on his cane.
Not far away, Liao JingJing huddled at the entrance of the passage, her bloodshot eyes staring intently at the exit.
After a long time, she mumbled disbelievingly, “Why… why are they alright? Why didn’t they turn into dolls?”
She looked down at her right hand – from fingertips to forearm, it had turned into numbing plastic.
She had merely tested the waters by extending her hand in for a moment, and it had turned out like this. After that, she found her classmate’s doll, and realized something was wrong with the exit! But why could Bai Youwei get out?!
“That crippled girl… she said she was going back to the starting point, said she was going to reflect herself out from the mirror…” Liao JingJing clutched her forearm, turning around unsteadily to return, “I need to leave, I must leave this place…”
Bai Youwei was surprised. She had obviously entered with Shen MO, but now Shen MO was nowhere to be found.
She sat in her wheelchair, alone, surrounded by endless white mist.
At that moment, a voice resonated in the air:
“Congratulations to the player for clearing the No. 2 maze.”
“The reward settlement for this round of the game will now begin.”
“As the first player to clear the No. 2 maze, you will receive a doll jigsaw piece.”
“The leaderboard for the players who cleared the game this round is as follows, first, now upgrading the player’s data…ding, the upgrade is now complete.”
“The reward settlement is complete. Please continue with the game, strive to clear
As the voice concluded, the white mist dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Youwei realized everyone was still there.
Everyone stood dazedly on a broad and straight road, only regaining their senses when they saw each other, realizing they had finally escaped from the maze!
The mist still lingered behind them.
They all gathered together, each examining the jigsaw piece in their hand.
“Why are there only five?” Tan Xiao held his jigsaw piece, completely puzzled.
He turned to Chang Weicai, “Old Chang, didn’t you get a jigsaw piece?”
Teacher Chang shook his head, “No.”
Bai Youwei, Shen MO, Tan Xiao each had a jigsaw piece in their hand, Zhang Tianyang and Chen Hui also had one, but the remaining three classmates didn’t get one.
“They must have been given in order.” Zhang Tianyang said, “When the game ended, the system said my rank was five. I reckon the jigsaw pieces would only be given to the first five who walked out the maze.”
Yi Yang, standing beside him, heaved a sigh of relief. He looked exhausted and flopped down right on the roadside. He slapped the ground hard with his palm and sighed, “Just being able to make it out alive is lucky enough! The jigsaw doesn’t matter anymore!”
The other classmate who didn’t obtain a jigsaw piece also nodded vigorously, recalling the horrifying scenes in the maze with a lingering fear.
Chen Hui suddenly said, “Yi Yang, stand up.”
“Huh?” Yi Yang was taken aback.
Chen Hui walked over and pulled his hand away. Where Yi Yang had slapped, the brick had cracked.
Everyone was stunned.
Chen Hui looked at them, “Do you remember? The system also said…
Upgrading player’s data..”
