Shen MO smiled, pushing the doll back into her canvas bag.

“No need.” He raised a hand to pat her head. “We’ll be back soon. Keep the props. In case something happens here, it will be good for handling the situation.”

Bai Youwei pouted, displeased.

At that moment, faint vibrations began to rumble beneath their feet again.

Bai Youwei’s face grew more sullen.

She knew that the monster was once again approaching, and Shen MO and Tan Xiao were about to leave.

“Let’s go.” Shen MO put a large bottle of peppermint rock sugar water in her arms and stood up straight. “Hide it well, and take a sip if you feel nauseous.” Tan Xiao also said: “Weiwei, when MO and I find the exit, we can leave!”

Bai Youwei’s arrogant expression finally softened somewhat, instead revealing a somewhat pitiful vulnerability: “You guys better come back quickly…” The two of them left the shop one after the other.

The vibrations intensified. It didn’t seem to be coming towards this street. Shen MO estimated the direction and promptly led Tan Xiao towards the source of the disturbance.

Bai Youwei watched from the window for a while before being persuaded by

Chang Weicai to retreat to the back kitchen.

They closed the heavily stacked door, leaving only a narrow slit to monitor the outside situation.

The intensity of the vibrations varied, drawing near and then receding. The enormous, elongated snake seemed to be darting about the streets in a frantic search for food.

After a while, it moved further and further away and calm was restored…

All was quiet.

People in the back kitchen collectively sighed in relief.

But then, they couldn’t help but worry for the two who had ventured outside.

“I hope they encounter smooth sailing.” Chang Weicai sighed and prayed.

Pan Xiaoxin silently looked at Chang Weicai and Bai Youwei. Coincidentally, those left behind were the old, the young, and the crippled, which greatly unsettled him…

Bai Youwei frowned but didn’t speak.

She took a sip from the bottle while still cradling it, still feeling frustrated. Seeing a few peppermint leaves floating in the water, she reached out her delicate hand to pick them out and put them in her mouth to chew.

The cool, slightly bitter taste diluted the stench of blood in her nostrils, making her feel a bit better.

She glanced at the half-dead man on the ground and asked: “How did your companions die?”

The man hesitated, then replied, “We were following the snake, trying to find an exit. It found us at a turning point before we had time to run… They were eaten, and I was injured.”

Bai Youwei asked him again: “Have you seen anyone else?”

The man looked even more confused: “No… I’ve been hiding here, afraid to go out. Had you not rushed in, I wouldn’t even have known other people had entered the maze.”

Bai Youwei pursed her lips and looked out, silently counting the time in her heart.

She recalled what Shen MO had said earlier – five people had entered the maze. Among them, one had been injured, but in the end, all five had exited the maze.

This suggests that the maze isn’t overly difficult, unless those five had extraordinary abilities.

Could those five truly have had remarkable talents?

She didn’t believe that she and Shen MO, who had both undergone a data upgrade, would be inferior to those five.

Also, in the Mirror Maze, as long as the correct method is found, it would be quite easy to escape. The existence of the maze couldn’t possibly solely be for players to battle the monster!

Bai Youwei felt a headache, the stench of the meat around her made her feel nauseous again.

She tilted her head back and took another sip of the peppermint water.

Through the transparent glass bottle, she saw a blurry shadow moving outside the restaurant.

Pan Xiaoxin nervously shrank back, whispering in an extremely faint voice: “It’s that…skinless monster.”

Chang Weicai hurriedly latched the door shut, pressing his back against the door, looking stern and tense.

“There’s only one, don’t be afraid… It won’t detect us.”

He held his crutch, whispering to Bai Youwei and Pan Xiaoxin, “Stay back a bit, don’t be scared, I’m here guarding. It won’t get in..”
