This wasn't an alarmist talk because Zhou Wen discovered that the Maze of Lies on Sunday had a terrifying taboo power.
Unless one had an ability like the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder that could restrain taboo powers, the moment one stepped into the Maze of Lies on Sunday, it was equivalent to activating the countdown to death.
According to Zhou Wen's constant testing during this period of time, he realized that if he didn't enter Witch Castle within three hours after entering the Maze of Lies, he would be killed by the taboo power.
This was the power of the rules. No matter where he was, as long as he didn't leave the Maze of Lies, he couldn't avoid it.
If he entered Witch Castle within three hours, he could obtain a two-hour countdown to death. If he couldn't pass through the Destiny Witches' obstruction and enter the garden within two hours, he would also be killed by the taboo power.
After entering the garden, the countdown to death became an hour. He could only stay in the garden for an hour at most; otherwise, he would still die.
What was even more terrifying was that the countdown to death in each area wouldn't reset just because he entered the next area, nor would it stop.
In other words, if he spent two and a half hours in the maze area, the countdown to the maze area would end half an hour after entering Witch Castle. Returning to the maze area at this time would still result in death.
Therefore, although it seemed like the time limit in the first two areas was relatively long, it was actually impossible for him to spend that much time there. Otherwise, even if he really obtained the mask, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Zhou Wen had the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder, so he wasn't afraid. However, if Wang Lu, Lance, and company exceeded the time limit, only death awaited them.
These were the rules that Zhou Wen had already tested, but this wasn't all of Sunday's rules. The other problems were still being tested.
"Zhou Wen, are you alright?" Lance and Sadie didn't have any special reaction to Zhou Wen gaming. This was because they were already used to Zhou Wen gaming, so they didn't find anything strange.
"Me? I'm fine. " The blood-colored avatar died again in-game. Zhou Wen put away his phone and looked at Lance and company in puzzlement, unsure why they were asking.
"Coach, don't tell me you play games in your room all day?" Sadie's expression turned even odder as she asked Zhou Wen.
"That's right. Is there a problem?" Zhou Wen looked at Sadie in puzzlement.
"As expected …" Wang Lu held her forehead helplessly. She knew that Zhou Wen wouldn't lie.
Lance smiled and said, "You are very calm. It seems that you already have a card up your sleeve. However, the others are a little worried that you will give the wrong order because you don't understand their abilities. If you have time, you should go and watch their training. At least you can understand their abilities. This is also a good thing."
Zhou Wen sighed softly and said, "That's why I feel that it's better if I go alone. I don't want to bring them along."
Zhou Wen's words came from the bottom of his heart. If he had gone alone, he could have activated Evil Nullification and the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder the entire way. He didn't need to worry about their lives, nor did he need to study them so clearly. There was no power inside that could kill him.
In reality, it was not difficult for a person to rush into the garden to see if there was a mask.
However, firstly, the Ultimate Family Clan definitely wouldn't be at ease letting him enter alone. They were afraid that he would take the mask for himself. Secondly, there was no time or opportunity for him to enter alone.
Gaiman had already decided to bring someone into the Maze of Lies the next Sunday.
Lance and Sadie looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Zhou Wen's thoughts were more straightforward than they had expected. He actually treated all the powerhouses in the North District as a burden.
They naturally knew that it was impossible for Zhou Wen to enter the Maze of Lies alone. All Lance could do was say, "There are benefits to having more people. After all, the Maze of Lies is too strange. If anything happens, even if they can't help, they can disperse some firepower. Why don't …"
Just as Lance was about to say that it was better for him to take a look, Sadie interrupted him and said, "Coach, I suddenly remembered that we have something to do. We'll head back first."
With that said, Sadie pulled Lance away quickly.
"What's going on?" Lance asked Sadie in puzzlement when he arrived at the Nobody.
Sadie said, "Do you want Coach to go to the training ground to take a look?"
"That's right. At least appease the experts in those places," Lance said.
However, Sadie said, "That will probably be worse."
"Why?" Lance was momentarily taken aback.
"Based on my understanding of Coach, even if he goes to the training ground, he will definitely find a place to lie down and game. Do you think it's better for him to go or not to go in such a situation?" Sadie said.
Lance was immediately enlightened as he nodded. "That makes sense."
The two of them had no choice but to relay what Zhou Wen had said to Gaiman. When Gaiman heard that, he couldn't help but frown slightly. "Zhou Wen is indeed very capable, but he's so arrogant. He doesn't take this operation to heart at all. Isn't he taking it too lightly?"
"Clan Leader, I think Coach naturally has his reasons for saying that." Sadie was very confident in Zhou Wen.
What reason? He hasn't even entered the Maze of Lies on Sunday. I'm afraid he will suffer greatly if he's so arrogant. Gaiman was already secretly wondering if he should leave the final decision to Zhou Wen.
Although Frod had promised to give him the right to decide, he couldn't just watch Zhou Wen make some unreasonable decisions when he was out in the open, right?
Gaiman had already decided that if Zhou Wen's decision was the same as his, he would listen to Zhou Wen for the time being. If it wasn't the same, he would follow his own opinion.
He believed that the people from the Ultimate Family Clan and the experts from the other places would listen to his orders.
Zhou Wen wasn't in the mood to think so much. There were less than two days left until Sunday. He had to figure out all the details as soon as possible.
The repeated deaths in-game deepened Zhou Wen's understanding of the Maze of Lies. In the final period of time, he was basically studying the tree and the way to kill it.
Although this tree might not exist in reality, there was no harm in being careful. It was always good to make more preparations.
This tree was extraordinary. It could also kill people, but the way it killed people wasn't that obvious, but it was even stranger.
Time passed quickly. Seeing that there were less than a few hours left until Sunday, Zhou Wen suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation emit from his body.
Neonate's evolution is complete … Zhou Wen was overjoyed when he figured out the source of the fluctuation.
