Compared to the previous train station's human flow maze.
The platform side's maze structure is much simpler.
Apart from spending so ti moving left and right, Ronald barely exerted any effort and successfully crossed the platform and the first two tracks, arriving at Patricia's train.
Ka ka ka—
And when Ronald opened the compartnt door, what appeared in front of him was Patricia's trusting smile:
"Ronald, I knew you'd find ."
Ronald reciprocated with a smile:
"If we didn't have this level of understanding, wouldn't that be too disappointing?"
After greeting each other without any delay or hesitation, they turned and walked out of the compartnt.
Both Ronald and Patricia are very proactive individuals.
Since they managed to reunite, the constraint on Patricia's movent completely vanished, leaving no reason to waste ti here.
They then walked on the path out of the maze.
Patricia displayed an even greater familiarity with the roads than Ronald.
The truth is—the swordsman girl, though trapped in the train station carriages, did not waste her ti here.
At least through observation, Patricia already figured out a specific part of the train station maze, walking as if casually strolling.
Even Ronald, who just arrived here.
Involuntarily slowed his pace, then followed behind Patricia.
"…"
"Ronald, what's the situation outside now?" Patricia asked Ronald beside her while walking out, "I've been trapped in the train carriage, apart from knowing this maze picture book world is constructed by you, I'm barely aware of any other information."
Previously, to prevent Gwendolin from acting against Patricia, Ronald had dragged this guy out of the castle directly. So at this mont, Patricia's mory was still about Ronald taking Gwendolin out and is unaware of the specific details.
Confronted with such a situation, Ronald obviously explained imdiately:
"Patricia, actually this maze picture book wasn't initiated by , but a ga conducted by Gwendolin and —where I play the role of challenger, and initially can move freely, with the goal to find several people present in the banquet hall throughout the entire [Choruno] city..."
Ronald narrated the recent situation, Patricia's expression gradually beca solemn and serious.
rely hearing such descriptions, the swordsman girl understood the current severity.
Those practitioners like them inside the ga is relatively fine.
But if the challenge indeed fails, nobody knows what kind of unimaginable actions Gwendolin, who seems totally elusive, might take!
Just judging from the few brief exchanges they've had...
Patricia subjectively felt that it would definitely not be a good result.
"…"
"So Ronald, how do you think we should act next?"
While exchanging information, they continued walking out of the train station.
After leaving the human flow maze and returning to the street, as they saw the already approaching dusk sky, Patricia continued to ask:
"I rember you ntioned earlier, Heloise is already acting alone?"
"Should we also split up and act separately?"
Ronald first nodded then shook his head, having different thoughts for Patricia:
"Heloise has lived in this city for months, she's more familiar with the environnt than us, so moving alone is naturally no issue. As for us who are completely unfamiliar with this place—better to act together, so at least we have soone to rely on while breaking the maze."
Patricia nodded in agreent with Ronald's decision:
"No problem, let's act together, but what's the next target?"
"The Wanderer's Guild." Ronald voiced out the long-decided plan, "Instead of going to other unfamiliar places, let's first make a trip to the Wanderer's Guild, at least we went there before to find trouble with the agents, so we have so experience."
Patricia had no objection to this:
"Wise choice, let's go."
"…"
Next, Ronald and Patricia headed to the Wanderer's Guild for the second ti.
On this journey, they naturally encountered other mazes, but with cooperation, the speed of breaking through was notably faster than before.
However, even so, the heavy mood gradually surfaced as the sky darkened.
Ronald knew in his heart.
Ti was the Damocles sword hanging over his head.
Currently, it seems he already found Bapulor, Heloise, and Patricia, accomplishing half the goal for a successful challenge.
But one should understand—
The previous ti was dayti, and Ronald was searching in familiar places.
As ti turns to night, the surroundings beco completely unfamiliar.
To continue breaking the maze under such conditions and smoothly find the target characters.
No need to think much.
That would definitely be far more difficult than the afternoon!
Even from a rational analysis alone, Ronald believed finding the remaining three people before dawn had a very slim chance, or almost impossible task.
The only thing that gives him so confidence is Heloise, who's acting separately at this mont.
If Heloise can find at least one target character within this ti, then in the overnight search process to find the other two targets in the city, Ronald thought it would be possible.
Thus, Ronald and Patricia kept moving forward.
They had been to the Wanderer's Guild before, so at least the road searching wasn't wrong.
Then, as the sun left the last streak of light in the sky, they stood again in front of this sizable building.
Seeing the Wanderer's Guild, Ronald felt a pang in his heart.
—He sensed sothing was amiss.
Previously in searching for Heloise, the maze picture book enlarged the originally small shop several tis in size, and the train station genuinely experienced substantial changes.
Yet now, this Wanderer's Guild...
Aside from the change to picture book style art, its land area and building dinsions haven't changed one bit.
Based on Ronald's previous maze encounters.
This place, as a hideout for a target character, seed rather unqualified.
Confronting this scene, Ronald and Patricia glanced at each other.
The swordsman girl saw the unease in Ronald's eyes, but she didn't point it out and instead actively said:
"Ronald, let's go inside first."
"Only after seeing it can we make a judgnt on the situation!"
