Seeing that this guy suddenly perked up, Lin Qiu and Yun Mo's expressions immediately became subtle. This guy was clearly eating more and doing less.

The big cat didn't dare to delay at all, and kept moving forward with small, quick steps, making much faster progress than before.

"This cat seems difficult to care for. I think I'll just give it to Zezhi later."

"If I remember correctly, that girl has been using all her gold coins to craft new equipment lately. Are you trying to make things worse for her?"

"The main reason is that she only has one at home, so she's quite experienced. After all, these animals are all intelligent now, so she can only let professionals handle it, which also saves her some money."

Lin Qiu explained in a serious tone that most of his gold coins had been used to purchase new medicinal herbs and minerals, and he didn't have much money left over.

As for his personal savings, he originally intended to use it to buy a house, and he could earn quite a bit by renting it out to the NPCs in Shutrinya.

"If you don't want to raise it, you can give it to me. It'll save you from doing missions. I actually quite like it."

"Aww-"

The big cat's ears, which had been eavesdropping on the two's conversation, immediately perked up. It turned around and snuggled up to Yunmo's leg with a soft cry.

If the master were replaced by the person next to him, I feel the treatment would be much better!

At least you don't have to worry about being filled with gasoline!

"If you want it, you can have the hat."

Lin Qiu didn't mind. After tapping a few times in the air, the wizard's hat appeared out of thin air in Yun Mo's hand.

Anyway, I already have other maze-solving gadgets, so I don't need another one.

"Alright, keep leading the way, hurry up, I'll treat you to something good later."

Yunmo stroked the big cat with great satisfaction, until its body went limp, before calling out to it again.

Since we're here to rescue people, let's speed things up a bit.

Upon hearing about the reward, the big cat's eyes lit up, and it darted several meters away in a flash.

While things were going smoothly for Lin Qiu, Mao Sanzhi on the other side slowly woke up from her coma.

With a splitting headache, she rolled over and opened her eyes, staring blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling, momentarily unable to process what was happening.

Am I dead? Am I already in the underworld? How was I killed?!

Trying hard to recall her previous memories, until the image froze on the sudden, unexpected sweep of a greatsword, Mao Sanzhi's face darkened.

He almost got killed by his own people?!

"Sister Ziyan, ahhh!!!"

The frantic shouts echoed once again through the maze's passageways, drifting away into the distance.

"Eek—Eek!! Was that a ghost screaming just now?!"

Wu Xiaoxiong shouted, feeling a little uneasy, while tightly holding Chen Xiao, whose face had turned dark, in her arms.

"Sakuma, can you change your position? Right now, it feels like you're choking me to death."

Chen Xiao made the suggestion listlessly, now deeply regretting her reckless decision to come down here.

Kuma Kuma is a far greater threat than the monsters and traps in the maze!

"You think too much."

"Let's leave that aside for now, you've hit me where it hurts."

"I'm playing a female character!"

"I'm pointing at those two lumps of flesh on your chest! Are you showing off to me?! Is it really necessary to make your game character that big?!"

At this moment, Chen Xiao was like a wildcat with its fur standing on end, frantically trying to break free of his restraints, but Saki's binding ability seemed to be maxed out, and he couldn't break free at all.

After struggling for only a few seconds, Chen Xiao deflated, looking utterly hopeless.

"Saki, for the sake of our sisterhood, I just hope that you can at least make your character smaller in the game."

"Old Chen, why don't you make it bigger yourself?"

"Be honest."

"I'm just stating the facts."

"..."

The sincere sisterhood was fractured at this moment.

Chen Xiao glanced at her with a dark expression. If it weren't for the significant difference in their character levels, he would have definitely pinned her to the ground and beaten her up in no time!

Damn it, can't we just have a pleasant chat?!

"Alright, alright, Old Chen, stop fooling around... I think I heard footsteps!"

As Sakikuma spoke, her face suddenly turned pale. This time, she really tightened her grip on Chen Xiao's neck, almost leaping up at him.

Is it finally going to appear?!

A few seconds later——

Bang! ! !

With a muffled thud, a twisted figure suddenly shot backward from the front, crashing onto the floor and dissipating into countless fragments.

The flames that filled the air startled the two of them for a moment, until Ying Ziyan's figure came into their sight, at which point they breathed a sigh of relief.

We found one!

However, when Ying Ziyan saw the two of them, she unexpectedly did not show any surprise. Instead, she gripped her greatsword tightly with vigilance.

"Are you the real people?!"

Chen Xiao and Saki: "???"

The two stared at each other, completely bewildered, momentarily unable to follow each other's train of thought.

Who else could it be but the person in question?!

Seeing that the two did not speak up immediately, Ying Ziyan's body gradually began to flash with a light that seemed to be stacking buffs. These two might be the Faceless Ghost in disguise!

"I'm asking you, what happened last night!"

"Huh? Last night? Weren't we all sleeping in the same room?"

Chen Xiao asked with some doubt, "Could something else have happened while I was fighting with Yun Mo?"

"Phew—it really is him."

Hearing Chen Xiao's answer, Ying Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this was the real deal.

But we can't let our guard down, or maybe the Sakikuma behind her will be switched!

"Saki, tell me, what did you hear last night?"

"Could we not talk about this? I'm afraid it might disrupt the team's harmony..."

Wu Xiaoxiong grimaced, feeling a bit of a toothache. The commotion last night was extraordinary. She vowed never to share a room with them again!

326-Neko Sane might have been silenced by his own people.jpg

"Are you sure you want me to say this? Saying some things in public can damage our relationship."

Saki looked at Ying Ziyan with a sincere expression. If she accidentally revealed something at this moment, this family would probably fall apart.

Taking advantage of the moment when Chen Xiao wasn't paying attention, she subtly made a special hand gesture.

With just a glance, Ying Ziyan's face flushed red, and she immediately recognized the other party's authenticity.

This guy seems to know a lot...

"Cough, no need, you should be real."

Ying Ziyan coughed and quickly stopped Saki from revealing certain explosive news.

What did you hear last night?

Ying Ziyan stopped pursuing the matter, which made Chen Xiao even more curious.

Could something else have happened while I was fighting with Yunmo?

"Nothing, nothing. Why are you suddenly asking this, Ziyan?"

"The elite-level faceless demons in the labyrinth can transform into human form. They even disguised themselves as Nekosan to trick me, but thankfully I took them down."

"Become a cat Sanzhi?"

The two were slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and in the instant they exchanged a glance, they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Is that cat named Michie really not the real person?

Could she have been silenced?!

"By the way, did you see Nekosae herself along the way? She and I were separated on the spot."

Ying Ziyan asked anxiously, realizing she had almost been deceived herself; the little guy might have already met with misfortune!

"After we separated from Lin Qiu, you were the only person we saw."

"I think whether she's even alive or not is already a question."

"..."

Chen Xiao glared at Saki, "Why are you speaking such obvious truths!"

However, Sakuma rolled her eyes in annoyance, feeling that the possibility of Nekosan's death was extremely high.

"Let's go find Nekosan first. We need to see her alive or dead."

"Okay, let's speed things up."

While the three of them intensified their search for Nekosan's whereabouts, Nekosan herself was found hanging in terror from the rafters of a hidden room.

The fluffy cat ears stood up as if stimulated, and the huge figure holding a butcher's knife was reflected in their pupils.

Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, the broad, blood-stained back still gave her a strong sense of oppression.

The butcher's knife in his hand was still dripping with blood. The moment it fell to the ground, one could even faintly hear a shrill scream, as if the wronged souls of the tragically killed were still entangled with the knife.

Where's the promised amusement park maze?! Where's the word "amusement park"?!

This place feels like a haunted house!

Mao Sanzhi was completely terrified. If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been dead!

As the butcher patrolled, she didn't dare to breathe too loudly, afraid that he would notice her presence.

After all, Neko Sanzhi had witnessed it firsthand. After the Faceless Demon was captured by this butcher, he couldn't even put up a fight. He was chopped into more than a dozen pieces by the butcher's knife, and his blood even splattered on him!

She swore she didn't want to eat meat for the next few days...

Lin Qiu, when are you guys finally arriving?! Where are you, Ziyan?!

Cat Sanzhi almost burst into tears. She had only come here to make a fortune, so how did it turn out like this?

Under her tearful gaze, the butcher, having searched in vain, dragged his butcher knife slowly toward the door.

Are we finally leaving?

"Bang!!!!"

A sudden, muffled thud startled Mao Sanzhi so much that he nearly fell off the roof beam.

To his horror, the butcher's large hand forcefully pierced through the door, and he dragged in a faceless demon whose head was crushed and deformed.

As the butcher's knife was raised again, the bloody scene made even the cat's fur stand on end.

Just as she was praying that the monster would leave quickly, Lin Qiu and Yun Mo finally followed the big cat and searched the vicinity.

Under the subtle gazes of the two, the lazy big cat stopped once again, as if it had encountered some natural enemy. Its fur stood on end, and it glared at the room where Nekosan was.

Is this an early warning?

Yunmo glanced at the wizard hat's skill description and asked a question out of curiosity.

"Probably. It must be terrified of you. There must be some kind of monster inside."

Looking at the door with a large hole punched through it, even with his Analytical Eyes activated, Lin Qiu couldn't see what was inside; everything was shrouded in darkness.

However, the blood still flowing at the cave entrance reveals the horror within...
