Could it be that Camilla was the one who bombed the railway before?

Why is she injured?

This wound clearly wasn’t caused by the Secret Keepers.

Leonard had seen her in her white-haired state. As a Card Master Apprentice, she was capable of withstanding a first-tier A-rank mysterious Fallen Witch Sect member with her own power. With the right materials, without any mishap, she should have changed her profession to a formal Curse Card Master by now, boosting her combat power at least tenfold.

Who injured her then?

Leonard had previously speculated that the plunderer was setting up a trap to kill the Governor, but now that he saw Camilla here, he immediately felt that something was off.

The monsters in the maze are against everyone, there’s no need for the murderer to come in themselves to assassinate the Governor.

Therefore, he felt that his old friend was also accidentally involved.

Moreover, the wound is on her back, was she betrayed by a trusted acquaintance?

This plot is rather complex.

The moment Leonard saw this old acquaintance, he got a whole lot of information.

However, he’s no longer oblivious about this world. Once he saw her release the Demon Apparition in Space 407, he knew that the backstory of this old friend wasn’t simple.

The more special one’s identity, the lower the chance of coincidence.

But Leonard was not interested in prying into others’ affairs.

The most important thing is that seeing this old friend sparked an idea in his mind.

Leonard suddenly saw a solid way to break the current deadlock.

Because he lacked some key clues before, he wasn’t sure by himself and had to rely on some luck.

But now it’s different!

Thinking of this, Leonard immediately stood up and shouted at the two running people: “Miss Camilla!”

Did someone call?

The commotion caused the two cloaked figures who were escaping to pause.

The silver-haired one turned her head and glanced back, her eyes full of disbelief behind her goggles: how could he be here?

Obviously, she recognized Leonard instantly.

Besides the somewhat familiar voice, the strikingly familiar feeling immediately coursed through her.

Back in Space 407, there was a guy who, against all reason, would always face seemingly certain death with an unfathomable calmness.

Isn’t this the case now?

Can you believe it, that guy is now waving at them amidst a pile of skeletons?

This bizarre scene, while Camilla could barely accept because she recognized it was Leonard, her companion would definitely find it unbelievable. Their wide eyes seemed to be asking: is this a living person? But… why aren’t the skeleton monsters attacking him?

Only Camilla could understand his non-human calmness.

Let alone these skeletons, back in Space 407, his expression didn’t change even when facing several terrifying A-rank oddities.

How can this be a big deal?

He simply cannot be regarded as an ordinary person.

Just because the skeletons aren’t attacking Leonard, doesn’t mean they won’t attack these two.

Once Leonard confirmed it was Camilla, he hurriedly followed the crowd of skeletons over to meet the two.

Soon, the three were running together.

Although Camilla was not in a good mood, she asked in surprise, “How come you are here?”

“We’ll talk about it later.”

Given the urgent situation, Leonard didn’t plan to waste time, and quickly said, “Stop running first. The Governor’s Mansion members just passed by, and there are a group of Secret Keepers. If you continue to run, there’s a high chance you’ll run into them.”

It was quite clear that these two were planning to follow the path cleared by the Governor’s Mansion, which could reduce encounters with monsters.

But continuing further might not be the case.

Upon hearing this, not just Camilla, even her partner looked confused: what should they do if they don’t run now? Face the pile of skeletons directly?

Leonard knew what they were puzzled about, and without further explanation, he directly said, “The conditions for the skeleton monsters to sense are rational emotional fluctuations. Whether it’s fear, excitement, or courage, it will incite hatred.”

Hearing this, Camilla seemed to understand something.

After a moment, she chose to trust him, and asked, “So what now?”

The previous experience in Space 407 had given her a deep understanding of this former teammate.

At least when it comes to breaking through the Alternate Dimension, she felt there was no one more impressive than him.

Anyone in this maze could potentially be an enemy, but Leonard definitely would not be.

However, evidently Camilla’s teammate was not as friendly.

Tracy Garcia looked suspiciously at Leonard’s motives.

They had just been betrayed by the most trusted teammate, and now they didn’t trust anyone.

Seeing a stranger running over, her instinct was to be on guard, and her hand secretly reached towards her card slot.

Camilla quickly introduced, “Little Garcia, this is my friend.”

The Spirit Communicator, upon hearing this, still had the guard in her eyes, but she no longer had the intention to attack.

Leonard ignored this inexplicable hostility.

In his eyes, only his old friend was worth his attention.

The others were just extra baggage.

And he didn’t beat around the bush, directly stating his plan: “If you want to shake off the crowd of skeletons now, you must close your senses and control the emotional fluctuations. If you can’t do it, I can knock you out and take you away.”

These two cannot die.

At least Camilla couldn’t.

But it seemed impossible to save only one of them. The only option would be to devise a way to rescue them both simultaneously.

Upon hearing this, Tracy Garcia, the Spirit Communicator, immediately knitted her brows.

Blocking their senses? Under these circumstances, wouldn’t that be suicide?

And getting knocked out? Wouldn’t that leave them vulnerable to manipulation?

Moreover, the sudden appearance of this stranger called into question his origin and motives…

Just as Tracy was about to caution against trusting strangers, to her utter surprise, Camilla instantly agreed without a second thought: “Sure!”

What… she just agreed?

Tracy’s eyes widened in disbelief. She wanted to object, to remind Camilla of something: “Camilla, you…!”

But before she could finish, Camilla touched the back of her neck and a surge of mental power invaded her mind, causing Tracy to pass out instantly.

How could Camilla fail to see the dire nature of their situation?

This was certainly not a time for hesitation.

Any further delay, and they might bump into the squad from the Governor’s Mansion or the Enigmatic Pursuers, leaving them with no opportunity for remorse.

Thus far, there seemed to be no escape from this maze by their own efforts, at least not in the immediate future.

And more importantly…

They had collaborated in the past; a foundation of trust existed between them.

The composure of this stranger exuded a sense of inexplicable confidence, as though he could solve any peril instantly.

Leonard Churchill watched as Camilla made her decision without hesitation and gave a soft smile.

This old friend of his was delightfully decisive besides being a little too kind-hearted.

This saved a lot of talk.

It was clear that aimless runabouts in the face of such crisis would only increase the danger.

Camilla understood Leonard’s intention thoroughly. By blocking her sight and hearing, she could naturally control her emotional fluctuations.

She spoke swiftly yet clearly, “I can block my senses, but it will significantly limit my movements…”

Before she could finish, Leonard, without any hesitation, suddenly squatted in front of her. With one move, he hoisted both Camilla and the unconscious Tracy Garcia on his shoulders, saying, “I’ll carry you.”

“???”

Camilla looked stunned.

She had anticipated Leonard’s move and even guessed his intentions, yet she still found it unbelievable.

In her moment of hesitation, she realized that she had already been scooped up around the waist.

Without any further explanations, Leonard, carrying the two of them, sprinted forward.

Camilla looked puzzled.

She remembered how she had almost fallen while jumping a few meters off a pipe when they first emerged from the space… Was his body now that strong?

Oh, it must be due to the Epic Source Card he had acquired in Space 407.

Realizing this, Camilla seemed to understand.

Without any further protestation, she closed her eyes and shut off her hearing and other unnecessary perceptions.

Without the sight of the creatures and oppressive environment or the sound of the clicking movement of the creature horde, her mind gradually calmed.

Seeing the tide of skeleton monsters behind him gradually losing their target, Leonard knew that his old companion had entered into the required state.

Tch, a master is indeed a master.

He carried both of them and ran through the labyrinth.

Before long, the sound of the moving skeleton monsters was no longer heard.

The nearby skeleton monsters, too, had entirely lost their hatred target and aimlessly wandered through the corridor.

But although Camilla had shut off her senses, she was not entirely unaware. Suddenly, she spoke up: “Take a left. There’s a strong monster fluctuation at two o’clock position on the right.”

Upon hearing this, the corner of Leonard’s mouth slightly lifted upward: Just as expected.

The ability he needed to save them was Camilla’s – the human radar!

And his clever teammate had tacitly understood her role at this moment.

When he was in Space 407 before, Leonard noticed that Camilla had an extraordinary ability, granted by the Demon Mark, to sense the presence of monsters from quite a distance, stronger than most high-tier curse card masters.

And in this labyrinth, this ability became even more crucial.

If Leonard was venturing alone, he would have been somewhat confident about breaking through the labyrinth.

But due to someone triggering the hidden storyline prematurely, disrupting the sequence of solving the mystery, they were currently lacking some key clues.

Finding clues in the maze without running into the Enigmatic Pursuers would require a bit of luck.

But now, with Camilla’s presence, the situation had changed drastically.

The ability to sense the presence of monsters from a great distance allowed them to avoid many unnecessary dangers.

Even if Camilla’s sensing range was smaller than the Enigmatic Pursuers’, she could still detect danger well in advance.

It would give them the chance to escape.

From what Leonard had observed, the chasing speed of the Enigmatic Pursuers was not particularly outrageous. As long as they could spot them early and make a prepared full-speed escape, the chances of evasion were quite significant.

Furthermore, with Leonard’s photographic memory, it was highly unlikely that he would make the low-level mistake of running into a dead end.

In this way, as long as they did not encounter the Enigmatic Pursuers, the original odds-of-survival situation in the labyrinth, which was like to lose nine times out of ten, was instantly reduced to around twenty percent.

With the remaining time, they could now focus on solving the maze..
