I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Minos Maze
 

After passing by the Mermaid Monster in the maze, Asarina was still haunted, saying, “Although we can’t open the door, at least the mission is clear now, which is much better than the last time when we had no idea what to do.”

Last time they truly had no clues, faced with seven identical caves, they could only guess blindly. But this time, at least they knew they needed to find twelve keys.

Chen Hui walked over to a wall with murals, pondering, “Could the murals be clues to the locations of the keys?”

There were no keys shown in the murals.

Only the Minotaur, dwarves, wreckage, swords, and a slightly taller person.

Bai Youwei looked at the murals, puzzled and said, “This seems familiar… I recall a Greek myth with such a Minotaur?”

“Minotaur, the half-man, half-bull creature,” Chen Hui knew the myth. “King Minos’s wife gave birth to a monster with the body of a human and the head of a bull, so he built a maze for it and sent boys and girls into the maze every few years until a hero named Theseus killed the Minotaur.”

Leonid furrowed his brows and glanced at the third mural, unable to appreciate these abstract lines.

Asarina asked, “The last mural, with the person standing on the Minotaur, could that be Theseus? Does it mean that we have to kill the Minotaur to leave this maze?”

Chen Hui said, “According to the myth, Theseus used a ball of thread to solve the maze, then killed the Minotaur with a Magic Sword.”

After pausing for a few seconds, she added, “The legends don’t mention these locks.”

“Maybe it’s just a backdrop; not every detail has to match the myth,” Bai Youwei said. “I played a game called ‘Woman’s Destiny,’ themed after ‘Woman’s Destiny,’ but the actual plot was far different from the story of ‘Woman’s Destiny.'”

She then looked back at the murals, thoughtfully saying, “However… the murals didn’t appear here for no reason. Whether Theseus is in the maze or not, the Minotaur might be, so everyone be careful.”

Everyone drew their weapons, watchfully scanning the surroundings as if ghosts and monsters could appear from the dark corners at any moment.

The stone chamber was thoroughly searched, and besides the mural, the door, the locks, and the four dim lanterns, there was nothing else.

There were four unlocked doors in four directions on the stone walls.

Now, other than opening doors, they seemed to have no other options.

Everyone looked to Bai Youwei, who had to choose which door to open.

“The initial clues are not clear; let’s try our luck,” Bai Youwei asked, “Who has the best luck?”

They glanced at each other.

After a while, Du Lai stepped forward, “Shall I try?”

“Sure,” Bai Youwei nodded, “Choose one.”

Du Lai picked the door corresponding to the direction of the third mural.

The door was heavy, but when pushed open, it made no sound, and nothing could be seen inside due to the darkness.

Everyone didn’t rush in but stood cautiously at the entrance, shining flashlights inside.

Inside was an empty stone chamber with bare stone floors and stone walls, and the walls had identical iron doors.

Bai Youwei frowned, walked in, swept the flashlight around to ensure the stone chamber was empty, then said to Du Lai, “Choose another door.”

Du Lai picked a door in the same direction.

This time, when the door was opened, another stone chamber appeared identical to the one they were currently in, dark and empty.

A bad feeling rose in Bai Youwei’s heart; last time in maze number 3, she also got trapped in endlessly repeating caves.

“Let’s go back to the previous room,” she said with knitted brows, “Something’s not right about this place.”
