A bed that traverses countless worlds

Ellie's mechanical finger traced a blue light in the air, projecting a simple maze map.

“According to the scan results, the internal structure of this maze is complex, and…” Ellie paused, her metallic voice slightly hesitant, “there are unknown energy fluctuations.”

Lin Yu stroked his chin and grinned, "Unknown energy fluctuations? Exciting! What's there to be afraid of? Let's test it!" Su Yao rolled her eyes and complained, "Boss, can you stop 'testing' all the time? I'm sick of hearing it." Despite her words, she still followed closely behind Lin Yu, looking wary.

Aisha and Alice followed closely behind, afraid of falling behind.

The moment you step into the maze, a chilling aura hits you, and a faint smell of decay permeates the air.

The towering walls blocked out the sun, leaving only a small patch of dark sky overhead.

The maze passages were narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time, and the rough, cold walls on both sides made one feel as if trapped inside the belly of a giant beast.

"Quack-"

A slight noise broke the silence.

Before Lin Yu and the others could react, countless arrows shot out from the cracks in the wall, pouring down like a torrential rain!

"Holy crap! What kind of trap is this?!" Lin Yu shouted, jerking the bed aside to narrowly avoid the dense rain of arrows.

Su Yao reacted quickly, rolling to dodge, and several arrows almost grazed her cheek.

"Ah!" Aisha exclaimed as an arrow grazed her arm.

Ellie immediately stepped forward and used her mechanical arm to release a green light to heal her wounds.

"Are you alright?" Lin Yu asked with concern.

“It’s nothing…” Aisha’s face was pale, clearly quite frightened.

Ellie scanned her surroundings, her metallic voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "The mechanisms in this maze are extremely sophisticated, and the triggering conditions are unknown. We must be very careful."

Lin Yu nodded, a glint of excitement in his eyes: "Looks like this maze is interesting! Brothers, cheer up, let's conquer it together!"

The group moved forward cautiously, each step feeling like walking on thin ice.

The maze-like passages twisted and turned, like giant, coiled pythons, seemingly about to devour them.

The surroundings were deathly silent, with only their faint breathing and footsteps echoing around them.

Suddenly, Lin Yu stopped and pointed ahead, saying, "Wait, look..."

In the dim light, they could see something shimmering faintly at the end of the passage ahead...

"Wow, this maze is so convoluted! Is the designer a Tetris player? How did they get into match-3 games like this!" Lin Yu couldn't help but complain as he looked at the labyrinthine passages in front of him.

Su Yao suggested, "Boss, how about we go to the right? That's the usual pattern for mazes."

Aisha, however, had a different opinion: "I think it should be on the left. My intuition as a desert people tells me that there is a water source on the left."

Alice crossed her arms and said haughtily, "Hmph, foolish humans, just follow my instincts, you can't go wrong!"

Ellie calmly analyzed in a mechanical voice, "According to probability theory, the probability is equal in each direction. I suggest using a random algorithm."

Lin Yu's head was throbbing from listening. He suddenly felt like he wasn't navigating a maze, but rather participating in a "food maze."

He rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Stop, stop, stop! All of you, stop arguing! If you keep arguing, I'm going to explode!"

Suddenly, Lin Yu's eyes narrowed as he stared at the arrow slits on the ceiling of the passage, a playful smile playing on his lips: "Something's not right. Haven't you noticed? The way these arrow slits are arranged looks a bit like... Morse code?"

"Morse code? Boss, you know this too?" Su Yao asked in surprise.

"That's right, I was a top student back in the day!" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows proudly and began to analyze seriously.

He carefully observed the arrangement and intervals of the arrow holes and quickly deciphered the pattern.

"I understand! These arrows aren't fired randomly, but in a certain rhythm! As long as we get to the rhythm, we can get through safely!" Lin Yu said excitedly.

"Really? Boss, don't exaggerate!" Su Yao was skeptical.

"We'll see when we try!" Lin Yu smiled confidently and commanded, "Everyone, listen to my command, get ready... Go!"

He maneuvered the bed, skillfully weaving through the dense rain of arrows, narrowly avoiding fatal attacks each time.

Su Yao and the others followed closely behind, carefully dodging the arrows as instructed by Lin Yu.

"Whoosh—" A sharp arrow flew past Su Yao's ear, startling her so much that her face paled.

"Holy crap, that was close!" Su Yao exclaimed.

"Don't panic, stay calm!" Lin Yu calmly directed, leading everyone through the arrow rain zone without any major incidents.

"Boss, you're amazing!" Su Yao exclaimed sincerely.

"Yes, Lin Yu, you're amazing!" Aisha looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

Although Alice didn't speak, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yu.

Ellie then summarized in a mechanical voice: "Target locked on the control hub, 99.99% probability of destruction." After saying that, she raised her mechanical arm, and a laser beam precisely struck a hidden button on the wall.

"Click——"

With a crisp sound, all the arrow holes stopped firing.

"Done!" Lin Yu whistled triumphantly, bursting with a sense of accomplishment.

He pointed ahead and shouted, "Brothers, keep going! I believe the exit is just ahead!"

Just as everyone was about to continue forward, Su Yao suddenly exclaimed, "Watch out!"

As Su Yao exclaimed in surprise, she lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground.

Lin Yu reacted quickly, suddenly rotating the bed and catching her steadily.

Su Yao slumped onto the bed, the soft mattress calming her still-shaken heart.

She looked up and met Lin Yu's concerned gaze, his eyes full of dependence and love, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, filled with a faint, ambiguous atmosphere.

Lin Yu coughed lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere: "Ahem, are you alright? Be careful next time." Su Yao hurriedly stood up, lowered her head, and whispered, "Thank...thank you, boss."

As you venture deeper into the maze, a suffocating sense of oppression washes over you.

At the end of the passage, a gigantic maze guardian suddenly appeared!

It resembles a giant spider, its body covered in a hard carapace, and its eight sharp spider legs make a screeching sound as they cut across the ground.

Its eerie green eyes gleamed with a menacing light, sending chills down one's spine.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this thing?!" Lin Yu exclaimed. "It's bigger than any boss I've ever seen!"

"Boss, what should we do?" Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.

Lin Yu quickly calmed down, his mind racing: "Its carapace is too thick; a direct attack is definitely not going to work. I need to find its weakness." He looked around and noticed that there seemed to be a slightly lighter-colored area on the guardian's abdomen.

"Su Yao, Aisha, Alice, you guys go and draw its attention! Ellie, cover us!"

The three female companions rushed forward without hesitation, unleashing a variety of skills in an attempt to distract the guardian.

The dazzling spells and flashing swords intertwined, reflecting the guardian's ferocious face.

Ellie continuously bombarded the Guardians with laser cannons, providing them with firepower support.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yu manipulated the bed, skillfully dodging the guardian's attacks, and quietly circled around to its back.

He held his breath and carefully observed the weak point in the guardian's abdomen.

"Now!" Lin Yu shouted inwardly, maneuvering the bed to slam into the Guardian's weak point.

With a deafening roar, the guardian let out a painful howl before its massive body crashed to the ground.

"Yay! We won!" Su Yao and the others cheered and hugged each other excitedly.

However, the joy of victory did not last long.

The maze suddenly began to shake violently, with stones falling from above and cracks appearing in the ground.

"What's going on?!" Lin Yu steadied himself. "Could it be..."
