At some point, Pine Bloom pressed a finger to her temple and laughed, gently shaking her head. Even in Block form, the gesture carried an effortlessly captivating grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-laugh, Pine Bloom's gaze flicked over—and locked eyes with BS-Rita, who was hiding aboard the Star Pirate Ship, watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pine Bloom pointed toward her, and Mistblade and Windrush both turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Tier-15 Abyss players smiled at her in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita: …This is nightmare fuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh, she said to B8017913, \"Time for you to go take up a job. Leave the ship behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a tool that could expose her identity, sure, but it was also transportation—and if she had to run, flying the ship would burn less energy than going solo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>B8017913 handed her the last few pieces of grilled meat. \"Top off your stamina to 100. I'll leave once you're inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita tucked the ship away and stood silently under a roadside tree, chewing on meat while mentally reviewing the maze rules and plotting strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without special mechanics in play, killing these Tier-15 players would be near impossible. Even with Midnight Exile, that wasn't something determination or effort alone could accomplish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like asking a level-90 player to solo a level-150 boss. Zero chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, she could try to snipe kills, but thirty successful ambushes in one hour?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one path to victory here—survive until Verdant Whisper · Windrush gathered all 30 map pieces and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Windrush wanted her to die repeatedly in this game. Why would she rush to finish it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 11:00 sharp, the wind swept in to collect the playtime fee, and the maze gates opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new round had begun, and players could now queue to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The line wasn't long, just over 70 people. Verdant Whisper · Windrush stood at the back, glanced toward her. Too many petals floated through the air between them, obscuring Rita's view. She couldn't read Windrush's expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>B8017913 looked up at her. \"What are you thinking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita replied seriously, \"That doing bad things always requires a solid cover identity. I forgot my roots. That was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ferris wheel had held her back. From now on, she had to return to her true self!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>B8017913: I don't know what I was expecting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Verdant Whisper · Windrush disappeared into the mist, Rita got the notification—and was immediately teleported into the maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spring Labyrinth Game Rules]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Each round, 300 map fragments will spawn randomly throughout the maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Killing another player grants 2 Blocks and 1 random map fragment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Players must collect 30 fragments to form a full map in order to exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Upon death, players are randomly teleported to one of 36 entrances and drop 2 Blocks and 1 map fragment. If no fragment is present, 3 Blocks are consumed to generate one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– All skills affecting the maze layout are nullified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Standing still for more than 3 minutes triggers a 'highlight' penalty, lasting 10 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Entry fee is doubled while in the maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Every hour, the maze opens for 3 minutes for new entrants, and the map resets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Old fragments become invalid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– If stamina drops to 0, the player is sent back to the starting room and reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Spring Labyrinth rules override Month Theme Park rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita stood just behind a fog wall. On the other side, spring was in full bloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she steadied herself, a hand landed on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\"Ready to give it back yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verdant Whisper · Windrush didn't waste time with threats or negotiations. Rita had stolen the item. A few words weren't going to change anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In divine games, this sort of thing happened constantly. There was no such thing as fairness or justice—only competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every player was just another rung on someone else's ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way to reclaim Cat's Ideal was to kill BS-Rita and take it back. There was still time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita didn't bother chatting with high-level enemies. She didn't even explain that she had already sent Cat's Ideal back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scanned left and right quickly. With no sign of Pine Bloom or Mistblade, it seemed players entered from separate, randomized entrances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mentally pinged Nivalis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita: \"You in a game right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nivalis: \"Yeah, what's up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita: \"Pull me out. Right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't sure how a forced teleport would behave in this kind of \"no exit\" game. Would it bring her back to the same entrance or treat it like a new entry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was the latter, maybe she'd spawn at a different entrance, away from Windrush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Shared Prosperity and Asset Transfer items didn't say Windrush couldn't attack her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it just booted her to February Theme Park for a moment, it'd be worth it—a chance to test how teleportation worked in emergency scenarios, which might justify using Romantic Tourist later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tugging sensation hit her—and in a blink, she landed inside a Ferris wheel cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on out, it's your turn! I choose you, BS-Rita!\" Nivalis shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita: \"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could even retort, she was yanked back into March Theme Park's maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she opened her eyes, Windrush's dead-fish Block-face was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to square one.
