Similar means are actually quite common in gods. They establish a preliminary connection with selected potential believers through dreams, and then allow potential believers to reach a specific location, and transform potential believers into real believers by performing miracles. There are basically similar stories in different mythological systems.

As one of the most well-known monsters in Nordic mythology, it is not surprising that Yemenggard would select believers in this way, and its potential believers have an astonishing mortality rate.

According to the old man, he had contacted a total of sixteen potential believers, and in the end only three of them successfully left the island and returned to human society. The remaining people were either lost in the maze forever. Why should they be swallowed by Yemenghat in one bite?

Now he regards Zhang Heng as the seventeenth potential believer to go to the island.

This cannot be blamed for his carelessness. The main reason is that the island is extremely desolate, with nothing on it. Sometimes no one will come even for more than ten years. Yemenggard, as the most fierce monster of the giants, has never been the only one who has targeted others, and no one has ever taken the initiative to provoke it.

The old man didn't think there would be such a person in this world who couldn't think so, so he firmly believed in Zhang Heng's identity.

Since this is the case, Zhang Heng simply accepted his new identity and politely asked the old man for advice, "Is this maze difficult to walk on?"

The old man nodded, "I know what you are thinking. The island is not large in size, and the central maze occupies even smaller area. No matter how complicated the maze is, as long as you try it one by one in the stupidest way, you can always try the right path."

"Isn't that the case?"

"This may be the case with the general maze, but if you use this method, you will never find the right path to the maze behind me."

"Um?"

"This maze will keep changing," said the old man, "so if you go wrong and then go back again and again, the trial and error method will not work here. And not only will the place you walk change, but the maze ahead of you is also constantly changing."

"That's just a chance?"

"No, this maze is actually to test whether the spiritual connection between you and it is reliable enough. The three people who passed the maze did not work much. The slowest one only took less than half an hour, and the fastest one only took ten minutes." The old man said, "As long as you have a close enough connection with it, you will naturally know how to go when you step into this maze."

This is not good news for Zhang Heng, because he is not a real potential believer, and there is no spiritual connection with Yemenggard. The only connection between the two is that Zhang Heng plans to go in and kill it. If Cheng Sihan is still alive, he will rescue Cheng Sihan, and then take Fan Meinan sisters and Ma Lu to leave the subway line. If possible, he will get Loki's whereabouts from Yemenggard.

However, Zhang Heng did not show any anxious and depressed expression, but continued to chat with the old man.

The latter seems to have been on this island for a long time, and it is difficult to see people in normal times. I don’t agree to wait for a similar person to the island, so I am happy to continue chatting with Zhang Heng.

And I don’t know if it is because of Zhang Heng’s identity as a potential believer, his attitude is also very good, and he basically answers all questions. After all, if Zhang Heng passes through the maze, he will be a believer, and from then on, he will be his own person. If Zhang Heng fails to hang it in the maze, then the things he knows will not be passed to the third person’s ears.

However, even so, on some relatively core questions, the old man still chose to avoid answering.

For example, Zhang Heng asked him how big the size of Ye Mengjiad was, how long he usually had to leave the maze, etc., and the old man would shut up when he heard such a question.

So Zhang Heng changed direction and began to talk to the old man about his own affairs. This time, the old man obviously became more and more talked.

"It has been fifty years since I went to the island. Before I came here, I was a construction worker in the construction team. Our construction team was built at a fast speed and the project quality was good. We won many awards and went to newspapers. At that time, the capital was going to build a subway. The first thing the leaders above thought of was our construction team. As a result, the noise made during the construction process attracted its attention. Later, I was also called by it and came here to become a guide."

Although Zhang Heng had almost guessed the identity of the old man before, this was the first time the latter admitted it personally, confirming that he was the missing worker more than 50 years ago.

The look on the old man's face became a little complicated when he talked about this.

It can be seen that he actually missed his previous days. Although it was more than fifty years ago, when material resources were scarce, there was neither a mobile phone nor a computer, no matter how scarcity was, it was much better than this little red island with nothing. Moreover, he had his own family and friends at that time, but many of them were no longer there now.

However, after so long, he seemed to have accepted his fate. The remembrance on his face flashed and returned to his usual appearance.

"Have you entered this maze too?" Zhang Heng continued to ask,

"I'm sorry I'm not qualified to enter the maze. I can only do some chores outside," said the old man. "I know you're probably a little nervous now. Maybe you're scared by the numbers I said before, and hesitating whether to enter the maze. But in fact, I don't think you need to worry so much, because this may be the biggest opportunity in your life for you. Its eyes have always been very picky, and not many people can be taken by it. I've been here for more than 50 years, including you, and the last time I received guests on the island was twelve years ago."

"Twelve years ago?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, and that guy is impatient. He seems to have encountered some big trouble. We only said less than five words in total, and then he plunged into the maze." The old man said, "He is also the person I told you who had walked through the maze in just ten minutes. I don't know how it is now. When he went to the island, he was still an unknown little singer and sang in a bar. If you can pass the maze, I will tell you his name. I am actually very curious about how everyone who left the island will be doing afterwards, but I can only ask about their news from the next person."

Zhang Heng thought about it and asked the last question, "Can you use tools through this maze?"
