——The light beams indeed cannot break through their set limits.
——Moreover, as they approach the maze challengers, they deliberately chase after the target.
These two pieces of information undoubtedly have a positive impact on Ronald and Patricia's maze challenge.
But reality isn't theoretical; the stationary beams still block the path where Ronald and Patricia should return.
"..."
Ronald glanced towards the entrance.
According to the maze's structure analysis, even if they now actively step into the beams and start the maze again from scratch.
When they return here, they'd likely face the sa encirclent. Other than continuing down the detour, there are practically no breakthrough chances left.
Solving a maze is sothing that can usually be played around with casually.
But Ronald and Patricia are short on ti this ti; they can't bet on the small chance they won't be blocked, right?
Ronald quickly made a decision:
"Patricia, let's re-plan our path and bypass this node."
Patricia imdiately agreed with Ronald's idea:
"No problem."
Deep within the maze fork, the two began a new round of terrain observation.
Thanks to previous research as a foundation, their speed and efficiency were much higher this ti.
Just over two minutes passed, and Ronald and Patricia each ca up with a brand new route. Patricia's plan favored quickly returning to the original path, bypassing the light beams to continue forward.
anwhile, Ronald's chosen path.
Replanned a completely new route on the existing detour basis. Though the walking path is longer than the original optimal route, this new route greatly avoids the watchtower dangers.
Following Ronald's new plan, the subsequent necessary dangerous parts were just two nodes under the threat of the beams, making it far safer than the shortest path!
"..."
"Ronald, my personality is still too direct; let's use your thod."
"Although the path may be longer, it's safer than being threatened by the watch tower."
Patricia's tone was sowhat downcast as she responded.
In truth, ever since entering the maze story world, Patricia had been in good spirits.
Although in a challenge with significant impact.
Yet for Patricia, entering the cute maze worldbook the second ti still brought a hint of girlish excitent.
However, after half a day of maze challenges and once again being convinced by Ronald's plan, Patricia couldn't help but entertain a thought.
——This world is indeed fun.
——But for Ronald, she might just be a useless burden.
Normally Patricia might self-adjust and recover.
But they were presently in the maze.
Such bad states would inevitably result in practical feedback.
Therefore, right at the node where Ronald's new route had its only encounter with the watchtower, Patricia slowed down a step.
The high beam lights suddenly changed direction like a shark slling blood, darting straight at the nearest Patricia!
"Patricia, watch out!"
Ronald, walking ahead, noticed this and promptly reminded her, even simultaneously plotting an escape route:
"Run straight to the left; there you can escape the range and et up with !"
"!"
Although Patricia was distracted due to a weary spirit, she wasn't slow enough to be unresponsive.
Upon hearing Ronald's reminder.
Without a second thought, she followed the instruction with a leap left and began a race with the watchtower's beam.
Her tily reaction played its role.
With Ronald's reminder and Patricia's full sprint, she managed to escape the danger zone before being caught by the beam.
They then took a bit of ti to regroup.
Upon eting again, Patricia sheepishly bowed her head to Ronald:
"Ronald, I'm sorry, it was my mistake."
"If I'd run faster just now, we wouldn't have wasted such precious ti."
Ronald couldn't possibly bla his companion at such a ti.
So he had no complaints, only positively reassuring her:
"Patricia, it's okay."
"It's impossible for anyone to stay perfect all the ti. Honestly, I wouldn't have made it here without your help."
Ronald's words of comfort were sincere.
If he truly had no assistance from Patricia but traveled alone.
The ti consud by the tricky maze alone would've been enough to give headaches.
By now, Ronald estimated he'd still be on the way to the military fortress.
Far from any attempts to beat the maze.
At Ronald's comforting words, Patricia smiled, though it was sowhat bitter:
"Ronald, thank you, let's proceed."
Ronald had no intention of giving up.
He imdiately wrapped his arms around Patricia's shoulders, gazed at the cute maze art style and the girl, solemnly saying:
"Don't carry psychological burdens, humans rely on each other to keep moving forward."
"..."
"Pfft—"
Patricia was montarily dazed by Ronald's move but quickly turned it into a smile.
"Ronald, you're really... you really leave at a loss for words."
Ronald's earnest feelings shattered the haze in Patricia's heart. Though touched, she couldn't help but crack a smile seeing the cute small figures in maze style.
Seeing Patricia back to normal, Ronald chuckled and released her:
"We're best friends, no need to say much."
"Alright, let's continue."
The small interlude ended, and Ronald and Patricia moved on.
The planned route avoided most troubles, so the journey afterward went smoothly.
It wasn't until the watchtower's base that problems ca slowly.
On the only road leading to the exit, the previously moving beam suddenly stopped. It now shone directly on the road center, completely blocking the path to the exit.
Unless Ronald and Patricia could fly over.
Otherwise, given this situation, crossing is utterly impossible!
"..."
"Ronald, let handle this."
Just then, Patricia stepped forward, explaining with firm resolve:
"First, it tracks incoming people;"
"Second, if there are multiple targets, it chooses to pursue the nearest one..."
