HBWnovel Chapter 693 Maze
Chapter 693 Maze
Off-site,
Andrew, who no longer needed to appear, held the map drawn by Carl, which resembled a minimalist abstract painting.
He had circled the map several times with a pencil, but he still couldn't find the way. It wasn't that Carl's design was too complicated, but rather that his drawing was too abstract.
It's true! Andrew swore he wasn't talking nonsense, it was pure stream of consciousness.
The main purpose of a maze is to create an extremely complex system that causes people to get lost.
But Karl, could you please explain this a little?
Cabinets that can teleport between each other, walls that can be knocked down to open new paths, and paths that can suddenly be blocked off while walking—is this a maze?
"Karl, do you really think they'll find their way?"
Andrew didn't know what kind of expression to make. He was holding a map of the venue and had a god-like perspective, but he had drawn circles with a pencil several times and still couldn't find the way. Could those people who were actually there really find it?
As it turned out, Andrew's concerns were correct...
Damn it, if Efron wasn't right next to him, and if Joker didn't know he couldn't just shout or he'd give himself away, he really would have screamed for help.
Where's the path?! Karl!!! Why did you design such a complicated maze?!
Seeing Joker's wry smile, Efron assumed Joker was missing his wife and children, so he asked comfortingly, "Are you alright?"
Well, it wasn't exactly a consolation, more like a question, but for Efron, who had long since become like a lifeless puppet, it was a pretty good opening.
When Efron first saw Joker, he also mistook him for the so-called adopted son of God. He even thought he was finally dead, but after Joker stood on his right leg and hopped around a few times, Efron gave up the idea.
After all, from the perspective of a normal person, or from Efron's perspective, it is absolutely impossible for a person with a limp to jump up in place with a prosthetic leg.
(Lucas: A spring, plus a few gears, that's all you need.)
After a brief introduction, Efron roughly understood his current situation.
It was a game that could be described as a joke. No one present even knew whether the organizer was an angel or a devil, but everyone had come here at the same time because they all wanted something.
All Efron knows now is that Joker came here to find his wife.
Joker said that his wife had participated in the game a long time ago, but disappeared afterward. Now, Joker has raised his children and sent them to live with their grandparents for sponsorship, while he participates in the game alone in an attempt to find his wife.
As for the others, Efron didn't know why they had come. Some didn't want to talk to him, while most of them started the game before he could even say a word.
It was as if in an instant, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, that Efron found himself in the maze. Perhaps it was fate, but he soon encountered Joker, who was also wandering around the maze.
It's always better for two people to work together to find a solution in a maze than for one person to wander around aimlessly.
Efron didn't particularly want anything, or rather, he wasn't overly obsessed with winning.
I've wanted to die for a long time anyway, so dying in the game would be even better. If possible, it wouldn't be bad to help this man I just met before I die.
Although it was Efron's first meeting with Joker, he knew that if Joker managed to get out, he would definitely be better off than him. He had nothing left; he had killed his parents and siblings with his own hands, which had driven him insane. He was now living like a walking corpse, so getting out wouldn't make much difference.
But it's different when Joker goes out. He still has children and a wife. His going out is more meaningful than going out alone.

the other side,
"Karl, why don't you just teleport us to the destination? I've completely lost my way."
Percy said with a hint of misfortune, "If anyone else from the manor were to walk past me at this moment, they would definitely say, 'Holy crap, Percy, what's going on with you?'"
Percy was seen carrying Matthias in his arms and holding Itaquía's hand, leading the two children aimlessly through the maze.
As for Naib, he had already jumped onto the maze wall and started searching for a way, but to be honest, even Naib was getting confused by this abstract-style maze.
