Walking head down in the sky.
Seeing the surroundings from a perspective completely different from usual, Ronald couldn't help but have a thought—
When walking on a normal bridge, jumping off would naturally result in falling downward. But in the cartoon world constructed by "Maze Picture Book," where the two are walking the Aurora Corridor.
If Ronald and Nicole jumped off the corridor...
Would they fall downward or fly upward?
"..."
"Ronald, give me a hand!"
Just as Ronald was forming an idea, Nicole beside him suddenly called out loudly for help.
Turning his gaze to look.
In just this brief moment, the investigator girl had thought the same as Ronald, even going as far as experimenting herself!
The result was quite simple.
Nicole was now entirely upside down, and if not for her hands gripping the edge of the Aurora Corridor tightly, she might soon fly into the sky in this anti-gravity pose.
"..."
Witnessing this scene, Ronald couldn't help but recall a movie he once watched.
In some science fiction films, when Earthlings are sucked into the sky by UFOs, isn't it exactly this kind of weightless look?
"Nicole, do you think this is fun?"
Ronald immediately went over to help, and while pulling the investigator back onto the Aurora Corridor, he tried to control the smile on his face and attempted to adopt a serious tone:
"We're escaping for our lives here!"
"Promise me we won't do weird things like this anymore."
"..."
"I just wanted to see if people would fall down or float up!"
Nicole knew she was at fault and apologetically stuck her tongue out at Ronald.
Seeing that this guy was indeed cute, Ronald didn't say any more.
At this moment, Nicole adjusted her posture and then turned her gaze to the ground.
Immediately, the predator figures running outside in the maze came into view.
Compared to Ronald and Nicole, two humans walking on legs, the speed of these creatures moving on all fours was noticeably faster.
At most, half an hour by estimation.
A couple of the fastest and most progressed guys should be able to reach the maze exit, then similarly climb onto this Aurora Corridor maze.
"Tsk—"
"It's really unfair!"
While continuing to search for the correct path, Nicole couldn't help but complain:
"I understand four legs are faster than two, but Ronald, do you think if we crawled on the ground, using hands and feet, we'd be as fast as them?"
"..."
This question directly stunned Ronald.
He was dumbfounded for several seconds, and after trying to think with the same mindset as Nicole, he looked subtly at the investigator girl beside him:
"Nicole, if it were possible, would you want to do that?"
"Uh... better not."
Nicole seriously considered and then replied to Ronald negatively.
This mode of rushing that sounded unattractive was directly ruled out by the two during their conversation.
The following fifteen minutes.
The two advanced quite a distance on their journey.
But just as they were dazzled by the complicated Aurora Corridor earlier.
After skillfully dealing with a section of the corridor's back side, the path ahead once again fell into chaos.
Luckily, Ronald and Nicole were quite adept.
They tacitly switched back from the corridor's reverse side to the normal path, and likewise overcame this obstacle. The subsequent maze solving continued through this cycle of flipping and path-finding.
Until Ronald and Nicole had traversed two-thirds of the airborne distance.
The final challenge lay before them.
——There's no road ahead.
The beautiful yet intricate aurora formed a corridor, which perfectly folded to return to the maze they had passed behind them.
They...
At the critical moment, took the wrong path!
At this moment, Ronald and Nicole scanned their surroundings to confirm.
They quickly determined the only way to the opposite bank hung high in the air, inaccessible.
As for the actual path leading there...
It was actually hidden within the maze area they had previously solved.
To walk this correct path.
They must now return, untangle the path from the complex Aurora Maze, and find the sole solution.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a wave of dense roars came from the shore behind the two.
Ronald and Nicole looked over to see Bai Chuan's predator figures, many of which had already emerged from the original Frost Maze.
And these guys weren't like they were at first, a pack of beasts without wisdom, only recklessly advancing and chasing. Before climbing onto the aurora maze, they were waiting for companions.
Until enough numbers had gathered, they each allocated the advancing paths, only then starting the pursuit.
"..."
"Time is running short."
Facing a massive crisis.
Forced a tough choice for Ronald and Nicole.
While they cracked the Aurora Corridor maze secret, they were mostly out in the open, naturally allowing these predator figures to witness.
These pursuers already grasped the secrets of the inverted maze.
The advantage of speed from running on all fours, coupled with the support in numbers, meant their maze-solving speed was bound to be faster than Ronald and Nicole.
If Ronald and Nicole turned back now, attempting to re-select the path from the complex and changeable maze...
Most likely, they'd be directly caught by these enemies within the maze.
And then it would be the end of the whole maze game failure.
"..."
"Ronald?"
At this moment, Ronald felt Nicole gripping his arm with force.
Turning to look, the investigator girl's cute face was filled with tension but still calmly judging their situation amidst the crisis:
"Should we split up?"
"These guys are noticeably faster than us. If we continue acting together, we surely won't make it!"
Such impressive quality.
Ronald couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Since his reminder upon entering the maze, Nicole maintained her calm. This kind of acceptance and application ability for correct advice certainly qualifies as a precious trait.
Then, Ronald reached out to pat the other person's head.
Before inviting with a bold and enthusiastic voice:
"Nicole, want to take a risk with me?"
"Eh, risk? What kind of risk?"
The investigator girl asked, looking bewildered.
And seeing her expression, Ronald led her back to an inverted Aurora Corridor, then pointed with his finger at the sky below them:
"Come on, let's jump down together!"
