They made their mark and then took another path, setting off again into the depths of the maze.
They once again explored until dusk and then returned along the same path they had taken.
Back at the center of the maze, everyone was exhausted. The teacher, Cheng, didn't cook dinner. Everyone had lost their appetite due to Lin Zihang's incident anyhow. They made do with a quick meal of instant noodles.
Just as they were about to go to bed, another incident took place - Tu Dan was missing two students.
During the day, everyone moved freely. Tu Dan didn't put too many restrictions on the students, only reminding them that wherever they went, they must not go alone. Whether it was for food or restroom breaks, they should always go in groups of at least two.
However, when they did a headcount in the evening, two people were missing.
Tu Dan found himself in a dilemma.
It was already late, and the missing students still hadn't returned. Should he look for them, or not?
