Both of us were lost in thought, completely forgetting that the mist outside the maze was slowly closing in, almost driving us mad.
I don't know how much time passed, but Zhao Lan finally couldn't help but ask, "Can this really be solved?"
"Are we just wasting our time?"
"Are you planning to give up?" I looked up at him.
"I just feel that this approach is a bit risky."
Zhao Lan sighed.
"Besides, are you really sure that the path we're taking is the right one?"
I fell silent.
"We need to trust each other."
"I understand, but we've already gone in circles several times."
Zhao Lan's gaze was calm and resolute.
"Chen Feng, you're not invincible."
"We still have a long way to go; we can't waste too much time here."
I bit my teeth hard: "But these symbols might be the key to unlocking the Dream Key!"
"Are you sure?"
Zhao Lan stared at me, his eyes sharp as a knife.
"Does your method really work?"
"I..."
Doubt began to creep into my mind as well.
"Hey, can we talk?"
Just as we were arguing heatedly, a deep voice suddenly came from the mist.
Zhao Lan immediately turned around and asked, "Who’s there?"
The mysterious figure said, "Don't panic, don't panic!"
Suddenly, a cloaked figure slowly approached us, resembling an old-fashioned ninja.
He looked at the stone tablet we were holding with curiosity and asked, "Are you studying this tablet?"
Both Zhao Lan and I stepped back in fright, staring intently at this mysterious individual.
He introduced himself, saying, "My name is Murong Qing."
I asked again, "What exactly do you do?"
Murong Qing smiled and replied, "I am just someone focused on academic research."
I continued, "So what are you doing here?"
Murong Qing pointed at the tablet and said, "I am very interested in the secrets of this maze; I have been studying it for several years."
Skeptically, I asked, "Do you really know things we don't?"
Murong Qing nodded and then bent down to gently trace the strange symbols on the tablet with his finger.
He explained, "For example, about something called the 'Dream Key.'"
I widened my eyes at him and asked, "Why do you want to help us?"
Murong Qing replied, "I not only want to help you; I actually want to leave this cursed place myself."
He gazed at the tablet with determination in his eyes: "I believe that if we find the 'Dream Key,' we can escape smoothly."
I thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you know how to find the 'Dream Key'?"
Murong Qing nodded and said, "The symbols on these tablets are actually an ancient code left by the builders of the maze."
He pointed to several symbols on the tablet and said, "Only by deciphering these codes can we hope to find the 'Dream Key.'"
I looked at the tablet, pondering the meanings of these symbols.
Murong Qing continued to explain: "This spiral pattern represents the center of the maze; this eye pattern symbolizes insight and truth; this key pattern represents unlocking; and finally, this door pattern signifies the entrance to another world."
Connecting the meanings of these symbols in my mind, I asked, "So are these symbols telling us which direction to go?"
Murong Qing nodded and said, "Exactly. These symbols are guiding us to find the core of the maze."
Zhao Lan frowned and said, "But surely the path to the core of the maze won't be that simple?"
