Chapter 1296: Malicious Intentions
Along this path, thin stone pillars divided a narrow path into two even narrower paths.
When two people walked side by side to this point and encountered these thin pillars, their first reaction was to split up to avoid the pillars, causing the entire team to divide into two groups.
However, they could still see each other across the thin stone pillars and continue moving forward, knowing others were beside them.
A path that originally allowed two people to walk side by side had now been divided into two paths, with only one person able to walk each path.
As everyone walked, the two paths gradually widened, giving the illusion that the paths that had split apart were merging again, but this was not the case.
Eventually, the thin pillars disappeared, replaced by stone walls that completely separated the two paths.
When the paths widened enough for two people to walk side by side, the people at the back unknowingly caught up with those at the front, leading to another illusion that the path had truly merged and the team had regathered.
This deceptive design, combined with the dim environment, could easily lead to mistakes if one wasn’t cautious.
If it weren’t for someone in the team noticing the issue with the path in time and stopping their advance, more people would likely have followed.
Irina took a good look at the path and couldn’t help shaking her head, "It’s too late, I’m afraid those hundred people have already gotten lost here."
Ouyang Jin disagreed, "It’s not just them who are lost, we’re lost too. Do you think we can get out by retracing our steps?"
