He looked at the four people in front of him who were confused, and further explained: "First, we are not sure whether the maze has only one exit. Second, the exact location of the exit is also unknown."

"If we just keep going in one direction and the exit is in the opposite direction, then at the end of the game we won't be able to find the exit."

"Furthermore, if you rely solely on guesswork to determine the exit location, it will turn the game into a pure test of luck."

"Of course, there is a certain amount of luck in any game, but in my opinion, the proportion of luck in the game is no more than 10%."

"So, there must be other clues hidden in the maze. We need to look for them carefully."

"Then how do we find clues?" Dongmen Qiansha asked subconsciously.

"It's actually very simple." Li Ming replied calmly, "In the absence of other clear clues, we can only conduct a carpet search."

After that, he added, "I guess the game rules give a full 24-hour time limit, probably to give players enough time to find clues."

"Oh..." Yunshan nodded after realizing it, "No wonder you said it would take some time, so this is what you meant."

At this moment, Xingmei seemed to suddenly think of something. She asked thoughtfully, "You mean our journey through the maze was not aimless?"

"Hehe..." Li Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You guys didn't think I was just taking you around in the maze, did you?"

Then, he squatted on the floor and gestured with his hands to explain, "In fact, we always follow the direction of the last zero in the number 100, and conduct a carpet search in an area 0 meters wide."

"So far, we have probably searched an area of ​​12 square metres."

The other four people looked at each other. They really didn't realize that they had been following a certain pattern.

At this moment, the white porcelain wall next to it moved quietly to both sides, revealing an exit.

And in the corner at the other end of the exit, there lay an inconspicuous piece of metal debris.

Yun Shan stared at the familiar metal fragments on the ground, and turned to Li Ming involuntarily, asking doubtfully: "You put this mark before, right? What's going on? Are we back to the same path again?"

"No." Li Ming shook his head slightly and explained, "I was just checking whether I had missed any unsearched areas. Now it seems that I have not missed any."

As he said that, he turned around and led the team back, "Let's go, we have to speed up a bit. If we can find the exit of the maze first, maybe we can get more rewards."

Next, the five people continued to explore the ever-changing maze.

Cecily and the others looked up from time to time to observe the numbers above their heads. Sure enough, the team was moving in the direction indicated by the number 0.

Half an hour later, they reached a dead end again.

Faced with this situation, Li Ming did not rush back, but chose to stay where he was and wait quietly for a while.

Suddenly, the white porcelain wall on their left slowly moved to the sides, revealing a new passage.

But this time, the other side of the passage was no longer the unchanging white porcelain wall, but a grayish-white metal door.

Above the door, a big '2' is particularly eye-catching.

"A clue! Finally a clue!" Yunshan shouted excitedly.

Cecily, Xingmei and Dongmen Qiansha also looked happy, with excitement and anticipation that were difficult to conceal on their faces.

Although Li Ming has always believed that there must be clues hidden in the maze, the long period of fruitless searching inevitably made them feel a little anxious.

However, now after seeing this gray-white metal door, all the anxiety and uneasiness disappeared instantly.

Among the five people, only Li Ming looked calm, because this was within his expectations and he was naturally not surprised.

Afterwards, he activated the ability of 'Time Pupil Shadow', walked forward calmly, and gently pushed open the slightly cool door opposite.

The room is not very big, only about 20 square meters at most.

The room was empty, seeming particularly spacious.

The surrounding walls, ceiling, and floor are all made of light blue translucent material. Moreover, the number 100 that was always floating on the ceiling has disappeared.

In the very center of the floor, there is a smooth white porcelain area of ​​about one square meter with a striking red character engraved on its surface. The character is simple but eye-catching.

"This character should be the universal language of the game, right? It looks like it means 'move'." Yunshan said, turning her gaze to her companions beside her.

Cecily nodded. She stared at the red characters on the floor, her brows slightly furrowed. "This character does mean 'move', but what does it mean exactly? Does it mean that we should take action?"

"The hint shouldn't be so direct. There must be a deeper meaning behind it." Dongmen Qiansha analyzed.

"That's right." Xingmei also agreed, "But it's hard to draw any useful conclusions based on just this one character."

Li Ming shifted his gaze from the characters on the floor, walked slowly to the wall of the room, and observed it carefully.

After a while, he stroked his chin, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The structure and material of the wall are exactly the same as the ceiling outside, there is nothing special about it.

Cecily noticed his movements, and with a thought in her mind, she asked, "Little man, do you have any idea of ​​the meaning of this character?"

"No." Li Ming shook his head frankly, his eyes still looking around the empty room, "Xingmei is right, it is difficult for us to interpret the specific meaning of a single character."

"However, since this is Room 2, it means there are other numbered rooms. Once we find the characters in all the rooms, we will naturally understand their meaning."

"You seem quite interested in this room?" Yunshan suddenly interrupted.

Li Ming was slightly startled, then said: "I can't say I'm interested, I just think it's a little strange."

"If it's just to leave a clue for the players, wouldn't it be easier to just carve it on the door? Why would we create a room like this?"

Hearing this, the other four were also stunned.

If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

In order to leave a character that is only the size of a palm, such an empty room was deliberately created. This approach not only seems cumbersome, but also gives people a sense of adding unnecessary details.
