CHAPTER 131: CHAPTER 106: "MOM, I CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE, I REALLY CAN’T TELL!!!"_2

...

Inside the Constant Star Train.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

An ear-piercing sound rang above the Constant Star Train. Soon after, Chen Mang saw a huge drone flying over the Constant Star Train, with his control panel screen flashing red wildly.

-

"Please do not attack, please do not attack!"

"This drone is the mission target, this drone is the mission target!"

"Attacking will result in mission failure."

-

Below the drone, a square iron box was suspended.

The next moment!

The square iron box suddenly disconnected from the drone, plummeted heavily to the ground, and quickly unfolded from all sides, revealing a curled-up robot.

"Goodness..."

Chen Mang looked up at the drone that had flown far away, murmuring in shock, "I thought it would be some kind of teleportation gate... but it turns out they’re using drone delivery?"

At this moment.

The robot that had landed on the ground climbed up and, as if knowing the route, quickly ran towards the maze entrance in the temporary car of the 14th section without any pause. The time limit began counting down the moment it hit the ground!

"Whew..."

Chen Mang took a deep breath, looked at the half-hour countdown on the control panel screen and the real-time maze live feed from the robot’s perspective, and began watching slightly nervously.

The robot’s perspective appeared on the control panel screen automatically after the mission started.

This allowed him to see more directly the robot’s method of navigating through the maze.

...

"Wait a minute!"

The robot, full of excitement, rushed into the maze, only to be dumbfounded when it saw a 100-square-meter space in front of it and 10 refrigerators neatly arranged inside.

A... a 100-square meter space?

He remembered there seemed to be no such large space in the train!

He suddenly turned around and walked towards the maze entrance, only to realize that this 100-square-meter space was surprisingly inside a refrigerator?

Wait, a refrigerator?!

"Who on earth has a 100-square-meter refrigerator?!"

He couldn’t help but shout angrily, his voice transmitted through the robot’s speaker, lacking a bit of emotion while adding a mechanical touch.

But there was no time to contemplate such things!

Only half an hour left.

Seeing the 10 refrigerators in front of the space, a sense of unease washed over him, and he quickly walked to the nearest fridge door on the left, just before entering, seeing a note attached to the door.

The note had a sentence written on it.

"As expected, when faced with choices, you’d subconsciously choose the first on the left, right? Actually, the first on the right is the correct route."

The man was slightly taken aback.

Subconsciously, he opened the fridge door, and sure enough, another 100-square-meter space appeared behind it with three more refrigerators arranged!

"Mom, got any ideas?"

Fortunately, the "Train Assistance AI" descended with him into the robot’s body.

Soon a crisp and decisive voice rang in his ear.

"No."

"Then what’s your damn use?!!"

The man gritted his teeth and, after pondering for a while, was just about to charge headlong into the fridge when the corner of his eye noticed another extremely concealed fridge in the corner.

Only several beams of light were shining on the 10 refrigerators; the intersecting shadows caused him to overlook the fridge hidden in the corner.

He suddenly burst into laughter.

And ran in large strides towards the hidden fridge in the corner.

The rule is that there must be a route that leads from start to finish, so surely the Train Captain will hide the correct route. Unfortunately, although well-hidden, he still found it.

He didn’t know what the deal was with this train that allowed it to house such a spacious refrigerator.

But... he can do this!

...

Luckily, in a robot body, he wouldn’t feel fatigued. Taking large strides, he ran to the corner fridge and pushed open the door, revealing another 100-square-meter space behind it.

And in the deepest corner of this vast space, there was again a fridge.

Once more, he rushed towards it.

Upon opening this fridge door, another 100-square-meter space appeared, with yet another fridge set in the deep right frontal corner.

"I’m doomed..."

The man suddenly felt a deep sense of unease, a flicker of despair crossed his eyes. Seeing the fridge just a dozen meters away, he felt something was amiss, and started preparing to sprint there.

"Look left, there’s a fridge there."

Hearing the AI’s voice in his ear, he jerked his head to the left, and sure enough, a fridge was silently standing there. Instantly, an uncontrollable grin appeared on his face: "A real blind spot... but too bad, I’ve got my mom here."

Immediately, he dashed to the fridge on the left and opened the door.

Inside the fridge was still a 100-square-meter huge space. In the corner, there was still a refrigerator. He sprinted over and violently pulled the fridge door open, only to find an ordinary fridge staring back at him, rather than some space.

Inside the fridge was an a4 paper.

"Did you really think you’d uncovered some big secret?"

"A total clown."

"Bang!"

The man slammed the fridge door shut in anger, turned once more, heading back to the fridge door he came in from, returning to the previous layer, and continued towards the deepest right front fridge.

This time, opening the fridge door, again was that vast space with yet another fridge in the deep corner.

Entering three more gigantic fridges consecutively.

The man once again opened the fridge in the corner, finding another ordinary fridge.

A Coke and an a4 sheet were on the shelf.

"Thirsty? Have a drink?"

"Didn’t I tell you the first fridge on the right was the right path, but you decided to sneak into the obscure little fridge at the start."

"People, always believing the thing they secretly stumble upon is the absolutely correct answer."

"Come on, you better hurry back to the first layer, not much time left."

"Screw you!"

The man, on the verge of collapse, slammed the fridge door shut, turned, madly ran back the way he came, and finally, when he returned to the first layer once more, reaching the first right fridge immediately.

A single a4 paper was still pasted on it.

"Why believe everything people say?"

"No brain."

This time——

The man charged in heedlessly, as there were just 10 fridges on the first layer, he needed to try each in turn, just as long as he could run fast enough.

...

Ten minutes later.

"..."

On the edge of breakdown, the man realized having circled back after a long roundabout, still to the first layer, with the beam-lit ten fridges still standing there, and the corner fridge in shadow.

Even the notes on the fridges were identical.

"This isn’t the first layer, it’s a duplicated maze."

Again, the AI’s voice rang in his ear.

He spun around to see behind himself, and sure enough, saw no maze entrance, meaning he was still within the route of the first right fridge from the first layer.

Taking a deep breath immediately.

He walked over to the first left fridge in large strides, no worries, just many routes, he’d test each one.

Soon as the first fridge door opened, an A4 paper fell, bearing a single word.

"Idiot."

Opening the second fridge door was also an ordinary fridge, another a4 paper fell.

It also bore a single word.

"Ass."

Opening all ten fridge doors in a row, they were all ordinary fridges, even forming a whole sentence.

"Idiot, return the way you came, took the wrong turn."

"..."

The man suddenly burst into laughter in his anger and didn’t say another word, only quickly returned to the path he came from towards the first layer once more.

...

Finally!

With thirty seconds left on the countdown.

The man, staggering, opened a fridge door, with the last bit of hope looking into the fridge interior space in front. If this fridge didn’t have an endpoint, his mission would be a total failure; he could only hope for a miracle, that behind this fridge was the elusive endpoint he had been seeking so arduously.

Immediately——

He saw several dozen fridges all quietly placed at each corner of this space.

His body shivered slightly; the last trace of hope in his eyes vanished, releasing a self-mocking laugh as his legs went soft, collapsing to the ground.

Looking at the scores of fridges placed ahead, seeing the countdown almost over, his eyes filled with despair as he crumbled mentally, banging his head against the ground, his eyes filled with tears, his voice laden with intense sobs, wailing in utter despair.

"Can’t discern..."

"Mom, I can’t discern, I really can’t discern!!"

"I really can’t discern... Mom, I want to go home..."
