What a Huge Gem, the Mirror Maze! (continued)

"This Blood Origin Saintess is such a kind person. Not only did she give me so many resources, but she also gifted me such a powerful treasure."

Shen Xing smiled and pushed the wheelchair into the passage on the right.

We proceeded for over a hundred meters, making several turns along the way.

The further you go, the more complex the terrain becomes.

There might be several forks in a single passageway, and nobody knows where these forks lead, and there are even more branches inside.

At this point, it's extremely difficult to memorize so many routes just by thinking about them.

Even with the memory of Tier Three lord, it's impossible to memorize it in one go; it requires many repetitions.

To clear this maze, luck, skill, and mindset are all essential.

Of course, none of this concerns Shen Xing.

He only needs to follow the compass to find the place with the most rewards.

After advancing about two hundred meters, a faint white light appeared ahead.

"Light?"

Shen Xing was somewhat surprised. He had been wandering around the maze for so long, and everywhere he went was dark and gloomy. This was the first time he had seen light.

And as he drew closer, the white light grew even brighter.

As he walked through the passage and entered the interior, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him.

At this moment, Shen Xing was standing in a strange space.

This place is like a mirror maze in one of the themed escape rooms on Blue Star, filled with all kinds of transparent crystal glass.

Looking around, Shen Xing's figure could be seen in all directions, making it hard to tell whether one was in the mirror or in reality.

"This place is a bit complicated... but I'm using the compass to guide me to the route with the most rewards."

"In other words, there might be some treasure hidden inside."

Shen Xing pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

Soon, he saw road signs and special characters on the surface of some crystal glass.

However, these road signs and texts seem to have been deliberately made into a reversed mirror image, requiring the reflection of the mirror to understand their contents.

Clearly, this requires players to decipher the flipped information in order to find the correct path forward.

Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "A good challenge; it has piqued my curiosity."

"In that case, let me use my extraordinary wisdom to solve this maze."

He took a deep breath and whispered in his heart, "Compass, compass, lead me to the treasure in this room."

"Buzzing..."

The compass vibrated slightly, and its needle quickly pointed out the direction.

Puzzle Master Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair with one hand and held a compass in the other, slowly walking forward.

He continued forward through the narrow passage of mirrors, his reflection visible in every direction, every single hair clearly displayed from different angles.

Furthermore, Shen Xing discovered that the arrangement of these mirrors was constantly changing, which added considerable difficulty.

Fortunately, he had a compass.

At each fork in the road, the compass needle would automatically adjust its direction to guide him on the right path.

And so, Shen Xing made his way through more than a dozen intersections, venturing deeper into the mirror maze.

Just as he was about to turn into another intersection, he suddenly stopped.

Because he vaguely heard a crying sound.

"Waaah... What should I do... I can't get out..."

"Um?"

Shen Xing frowned slightly, puzzled, and said, "This crying sound... it seems a little familiar."

He pushed the wheelchair, preparing to move in the direction from which the crying was coming.

But this mirror maze is truly bizarre; even sounds are reflected, as if coming from all directions, making it impossible to find the correct direction.

Shen Xing used the compass again and began to gradually approach the source of the sound.

After turning two corners, a familiar figure appeared in the surroundings.

She was dressed in a fitted business suit that perfectly accentuated her mature and graceful figure, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose.

It was Jiang Rong.

At that moment, she was sitting on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

However, somewhat embarrassingly, because she was wearing a short skirt today, the reflection in the mirror revealed almost everything underneath.

Even through the leggings, you could still see the bulging outlines on both sides and the concave line in the middle.

"Goodness, she didn't even bother to change her clothes, that's really bad."

Shen Xing quickly looked away and called out, "Senior Jiang Rong."

Upon hearing the sound, the woman on the ground paused for a moment, then quickly raised her head.

Soon, she saw wheelchairs all around her, and the young man sitting in one of them.

"Huh? It's Shen Xing!"

"Waaaaah... Help me... I'm lost... I've gone around in circles and I can't find my way out."

She stood up as if she had seen a savior and instinctively walked forward.

With a loud "bang," he crashed into the crystal barrier, seeing stars.

"Senior Jiang Rong, I'm behind you," Shen Xing called out as he pushed his wheelchair closer.

"Ah, okay!" Jiang Rong covered her bruised forehead and quickly turned around and rushed away.

As a result, she had no idea where the back was and bumped into it again.

Shen Xing was speechless for a moment, then sighed and said, "Senior Jiang Rong, you can stay there. I'll come and get you."

"Good..."

Jiang Rong squatted on the ground, looking aggrieved, covering her bright red forehead, and waited obediently.

Soon, Shen Xing arrived beside her. "Senior Jiang Rong, I've arrived."

Jiang Rong tentatively reached out, and only when she touched the cold armrest of the wheelchair did she realize that what she was seeing was not a mirror image.

After being lost in this maze for so long, suddenly seeing a familiar face seemed to finally give way to the fear and resentment I felt.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah... Finally, someone's here..."

Her eyes were red and choked with sobs as she said, "I thought I was going to be trapped here forever, never to get out, sob sob sob..."

Shen Xing was speechless. What do you mean you'll never be able to get out? Don't you still have the teleportation crystal?

But since she was a senior, he patiently comforted her, saying, "It's alright, Senior Jiang Rong, I'll get you out of here."

Hearing this, Jiang Rong looked up at him with her big, watery eyes. "But... this maze is very complicated... I can't understand the information on those mirrors at all..."

"It's alright, I have a plan," Shen Xing said with a smile. "Hold on tight, don't get separated later."

"Okay." Jiang Rong wiped away her tears and then took his right hand.

When our warm palms touched, I could feel an unexpected softness.

Shen Xing looked at him strangely and reminded him, "I told you to hold onto my wheelchair."

"Oh, sorry..." Jiang Rong snapped out of her daze, quickly lowered Shen Xing's hand, and a blush appeared on her mature and pretty face.

Then, she walked behind Shen Xing and gently placed one hand on the back of the wheelchair.

After Shen Xing saw that she had a firm grip, he continued walking forward.

We wound our way through a series of twists and turns, passing through ever-changing crystal barriers.

Jiang Rong followed closely, afraid that if she let go, she would be separated from Shen Xing again and trapped in the maze.

Shen Xing could feel Jiang Rong's body trembling slightly, and a series of alluring scents wafted from her nose—a mature yet delicate fragrance.

Besides that, you can also see those long legs covered in black stockings, and the leggings underneath the skirt...

To be honest, in such a complex maze, with only a man and a woman alone, and dressed like that, it's hard not to think of some unusual scenario.

Shen Xing took a deep breath and asked, "Senior Jiang Rong, did you encounter anyone else on your way here?"

"No... no..." Jiang Rong shook her head. "After I came out of that stone door, I explored the passage."

"I took the wrong turn several times, and the routes I had memorized were all jumbled up, so I started choosing routes randomly."

"And then... and then I inexplicably ended up here."

Shen Xing nodded, not at all surprised.

After all, this maze is so big that, except in certain specific scenarios, the chances of encountering other players are quite small.

"Senior Jiang Rong, I have a question for you," Shen Xing said again.

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Did you bring any other clothes?

"Clothes... there should be some in the territory..." Jiang Rong asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xing shook her head. "Then let's change our clothes before we go."

Jiang Rong was stunned for a moment, then looked at the reflections around her and realized what had happened. Her pretty face flushed red instantly.

She pressed her hands to the hem of her skirt, her voice trembling as she said, "I... I'm sorry... I didn't notice..."

"It's alright," Shen Xing said, turning her head. "You go ahead and change, I'll wait for you upstairs."

As he spoke, he prepared to push his wheelchair away.

"No... don't go..." Jiang Rong quickly grabbed the back of the chair, her voice trembling, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find you later."

She paused, then added, "Just close your eyes..."

Shen Xing felt strange, but he nodded and closed his eyes as instructed.

Jiang Rong stared at the man's retreating figure, biting her lower lip as if she were struggling with something.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

She placed her hands on the buttons of her skirt and gently pulled down the zipper, causing the tight-fitting short skirt to slip down.

At this moment, she was only wearing leggings, with black stockings tightly wrapping around her voluptuous yet very long legs.

And this was in front of a junior who was even younger than himself.

Even though the other person had their eyes closed, the level of shame in my heart was about to explode.

Half a minute later, she spoke softly, "Okay... okay..."
