Chapter 443: Follow My Voice

"I'm here, don't be afraid, follow my voice." Li An's voice came from the darkness, giving Guo Yao a sliver of comfort.

Just as they were grappling with the mechanisms, they realized they had unknowingly walked into a maze-like area. The walls around them were all identical, with no markings at all, making it impossible to find an exit.

"What do we do? It seems like we're lost." Guo Yao said anxiously, her face full of worry.

Kaito scratched his head and said helplessly, "Looks like we're in trouble this time, this maze isn't easy to navigate."

At this moment, a disagreement arose within the group. Kaito said excitedly, "Maybe there's some treasure hidden in the maze, let's keep exploring!" His eyes flickered with a greedy light.

Haibara Ai, however, analyzed calmly, "Our top priority right now is to find the exit. Continuing to explore will only waste time and increase the danger." Her gaze was firm, her tone brooking no argument.

"But—" Kaito still wanted to argue.

After pondering for a moment, Li An said, "Haibara Ai is right. Let's find the exit first, and make further plans once we're safe." His voice was steady and forceful, carrying a convincing power.

Just as everyone was arguing endlessly, a group of subordinates from a mysterious organization suddenly surged in from all directions, surrounding them completely. These subordinates wore black tight-fitting clothes, their faces covered by black masks, revealing only pairs of cold eyes. They held various weapons in their hands, emanating a strong killing intent.

"Looks like we're going to have a big fight today." Kaito excitedly rubbed his fists together, an eager smile on his face, filled with anticipation for the battle.

Li An looked coldly at the enemies before him, a hint of contempt showing in his eyes: "Just you lot? You're not qualified enough." His voice was ice-cold and piercing, like a frigid wind from hell.

The battle erupted in an instant, blades and sword-light flashing, the sounds of killing deafening. Li An swung the weapon in his hand, every strike carrying a fierce momentum, and enemies fell at his feet one after another. Guo Yao refused to be outdone, using her abilities to provide support for Li An. Kaito, like a phantom, weaved freely among the enemies, every one of his strikes catching them off guard. Haibara Ai used her intelligence to analyze the enemies' weaknesses and provide tactical guidance for everyone.

However, the enemies were simply too many, surging forward wave after wave as if endless. In the fierce battle, Li An and the others gradually fell into a predicament.

"This can't go on, we must find a way to break out." Li An fought while thinking of a countermeasure.

Just then, he suddenly recalled the mechanism principles Haibara Ai had analyzed earlier. His heart stirred, and he shouted loudly: "Haibara Ai, the mechanism principles you analyzed earlier—can they be used to crack these enemies' attacks?"

Haibara Ai immediately understood Li An's meaning. She quickly took out a small computer from her pocket and began rapid calculations. "Yes, but it'll take a bit of time." Her voice was tense and focused.

"I'll buy time!" Kaito shouted, and suddenly he deployed a smoke bomb, instantly filling the entire space with smoke. The enemies lost their bearings in the smoke, thrown into chaos.

Li An seized the opportunity to launch his attack, his figure weaving through the smoke, every strike accurately hitting the enemies' vital points. Guo Yao provided cover from the side, preventing sneak attacks from the enemies.
