Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

at the same time.

The G4939 convoy reached the first fork in the road, where three paths branched off in three directions under the cold white lights.

The large group stopped at the fork in the road. Some people looked ahead, while others looked left and right at the directions of the three passages.

Gu Qinghuan stood directly in front of the fork in the road, her eyes closed. Her mental perception spread out in three directions like a tide, extending forward along the path, passing through the walls, rounding corners, and covering a large area.

Chen Ye stood beside her, his gaze sweeping over the three passageways, without urging her on.

A moment later, Gu Qinghuan opened her eyes and pointed to the rightmost passage: "Go that way."

"Why go to the right?"

Liang Jing's voice came from the front of the crowd, carrying a clear hint of doubt.

She stood beside He Yunfeng with her arms crossed, staring directly at Gu Qinghuan: "Explain yourself first, what's on the right-hand road? And what's on the other two roads?"

Gu Qinghuan glanced at her sideways, her tone flat: "Those two paths are dead ends. The middle path is a wall after two corners, and the left path is also a wall after one corner. Which way do you go if you don't take the right one?"

Liang Jing frowned slightly, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but Yang Minghui, who was next to her, reached out and gently touched her elbow.

The movement was subtle, but the intention was clear.

Liang Jing turned her head away, and Yang Minghui shook his head slightly, indicating that she should stop asking questions.

Liang Jing pursed her lips, ultimately swallowing back the words that were about to come out, and looked away.

"If you don't believe me, you can send two people to check the other two roads and you'll see."

After saying this, Chen Ye strode towards the passage on the right, his steps crisp and decisive.

Gu Qinghuan didn't hesitate and followed his pace.

Zhao Hai, Wen Ning, Qin Zhaoyang, and Zhou Yating followed closely behind.

Lu Qingchuan glanced at his team and then started walking as well.

The large group began to turn right one after another.

The footsteps of about three hundred people rose again, merging into a muffled hum in the passageway.

He Yunfeng stood still, watching the group ahead turn into the right fork in the road one by one, without moving immediately.

Liang Jing stood beside him and lowered her voice: "That woman has sensory abilities. All the information comes from her. We can't get any information from her. We're too passive. What if that Chen Ye wants to trick us? We'll be like blind people."

Yang Minghui pushed up his frameless glasses and looked at the last group of people walking away in the distance: "Don't worry about us now. They won't try to trick us for the time being. Trying to trick us would be the same as tricking themselves. The rules of this trial have already tied everyone's interests together."

He Yunfeng was silent for two seconds, then said, "Follow them, but don't go first. Let them scout ahead."

The three quickly caught up with the group, but did not reach the front.

The group moved forward at a leisurely pace through the passage.

The ground beneath our feet was flat and hard, cast from a single piece of grayish-white material, making almost no sound when we stepped on it.

The walls on both sides were equally smooth as a mirror, and the overhead light strips were evenly arranged.

Qin Zhaoyang followed closely behind Chen Ye, holding the alloy longbow horizontally in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the walls in front of him and on both sides: "This place all looks the same, walking around feels like standing still."

Wen Ning walked beside him, also observing the surroundings: "This is the characteristic of a maze. There are no reference points, and all the passages look exactly the same, making it easy to create visual illusions."

Zhao Hai's gaze fell on Gu Qinghuan's back in front of him: "Gu Qinghuan can sense the route structure. This advantage is huge in a maze. She doesn't have to wander around like a headless fly."

Qin Zhaoyang chimed in, "Who says otherwise? He's practically a human radar."

The group traveled a little further, and the scene at the end of the passage ahead gradually became clear in the cold white light.

A gray-white wall stood at the end of the passage.

That wall was made of the same material as the walls on both sides, with a smooth, mirror-like surface and no gaps or openings.

Chen Ye and Gu Qinghuan, who were walking at the front, stopped at the same time.

"What's going on?" Lu Qingchuan walked up from behind, his gaze falling on the wall blocking their path, his brows furrowing slightly. "Wasn't it said that the right side was a passage? How come this is also a dead end?"

Gu Qinghuan stood still, her gaze also fixed on the wall, her brows furrowing slightly: "This shouldn't be a dead end. My senses can't be wrong; this passage was indeed open just now."

Chen Ye glanced around, his gaze shifting from the wall in front of him to the equally smooth walls on either side: "It seems this maze isn't as simple as we thought."

Zhao Hai walked up from behind, glanced around the wall, and then looked away: "If there's no way out, just turn back. It's not a big deal. We can just find another way."

He had barely finished speaking when He Yunfeng and the other two came up from the back of the group.

Liang Jing's gaze swept past the people in front of her, landing on the wall blocking their path. She then turned to Gu Qinghuan, her tone clearly hostile: "Didn't you just confidently say that the right side was passable? What do you say now?"

Gu Qinghuan ignored her and closed her eyes again.

Wang Zekai walked up from the side, hands in his pockets, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips: "Just go back through the dead end, it's not a big deal, why are you in such a hurry? Do you think you know in advance which road is open and which is closed?"

Liang Jing was momentarily speechless at those words, then turned her head and glared at Wang Zekai.

Wang Zekai didn't care at all and shrugged.

Just as Liang Jing was about to say something more, Gu Qinghuan's voice suddenly came from ahead, carrying a sudden tightening of alertness: "Something's coming. Prepare for battle."

Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously scanned their surroundings, but all they could see were the wall in front of them and the equally smooth and flat walls on both sides, without any signs of disturbance.

Some people turned to look at the passage they had come from. That passage was also empty, with cold white light evenly spread across the walls, without even a shadow.

"No way? There's nothing here. Monsters can't just appear out of thin air, can they?"

Someone in the crowd said in a low voice.

"It's hard to say. Anything strange can happen during a survival trial."

Someone nearby chimed in, their tone clearly less relaxed.

"What could possibly happen? This road is blocked, let's go back as soon as possible."

The whispers behind them grew louder; some gripped their weapons tighter, while others instinctively pushed their way into the center of the crowd.
