The Secret of Horse Statues
The man turned his head when he heard the man's voice from behind. But his head was stopped by a cold iron muzzle that had stuck to his head.
“Good work, Maya!” Say Ef. Maya smiled sinisterly and stood up straight away.
“The mouth stinks once, I almost threw up!” maya grumbled as she walked towards the young man who was raising his hand. The muzzle shot of Hamish's gun stuck to the man's waist.
“Why were you guys so long, I almost got them?”
“We followed your message, logged in when heard yelling” replied Hamish.
Maya is still grumbling. Now he was already holding the rifle belonging to the young man and again walking towards the old man earlier.
“Where was your arrogance earlier, old man?” Maya stood in front of the middle-aged man who was already kneeling. “Hmm, I seem to know you? You're Steven Hawk, right?”
The man only smiled wryly at Maya's words.
“In the movies you star in, you never lose and are so wise. It turns out that he was just a perverted old man. Cuih” Maya spits on Steven's face. “You want us what they are?” Maya criticizes, asking for the opinion of Ef who still stands behind Steven.
“That's their hand!”

Ef forces Steven and his partner to escort the fifteen-man team down the labyrinthine passageway. They certainly still memorize which hall to take to get to the middle of the labyrinth. Utilizing these two men for the benefit of the team was a better choice than making them into corpses. Within 15 minutes they had arrived in the middle.
In the middle of the labyrinth is a statue of a horse with its front legs raised. The statue stands in the middle of a small pond. Artificial fountains come out small holes on the edge of the pool. On the neck of the horse statue hangs a fingerprint sensor as they found in check point one.
“For your courage and ingenuity, then you will get the first code” said Ef let Maya take the code.
Unbasically Maya approaches the fingerprint sensor and attaches the thumb of the right hand. The small screen instantly opens and displays the six-digit numbers. Hamish helped type the code into Maya's necklace. The indicator light turns green.
Lin gets a turn after Maya, then in Hamish's follow, Ef becomes the last person to get the code.
“No logistic crate as before.” Lin looked around. Look for a wooden crate like the one in check point one.
“Is there not always a prize in every check point?” Ef always asked Hamish if there was anything he wanted to understand in the game.
“There should be. Maybe in this area the reward is not logistics. But something else.” Hamish walks into the walls of the labyrinth and tries to find something strange. “Or could have been they took!”
Ef turns to Steven, but before his hand reaches the man, Maya hits him in the stomach with a rifle butt.
“Where are the gifts you guys picked up?” maya's question was accompanied by another blow to steven's stomach. The man coughed.
“What gift? I don't understand what you mean!”
“There is always a prize in every check point. If it's not here, then you have already taken it!” Maya is getting ready to pedal again the rifle stock.
“Wait!” The young man shouted and made all eyes on him.
“If we tell you, will you release us?”
Ef felt deja vu. This incident was similar to the two men he had released in the sunflower garden when he had just passed the check point one. But it turned out that after they were released, the next day they almost raped Lin. It does not rule out the possibility that the two of them will also do the same thing. Especially now that Stevan has a grudge against Maya.
“Depends on how interesting the information you provide?” Ef turns to face the young man, then pulls out a dagger and attaches it to Steven's neck.
The young man looked worried, he looked at Steven who was already in the power of Ef. His eyes were trying to code. For a long time, he was silent, finally giving up.
“Under the horse statue, there is a passageway. But we don't know where it's going”
Unnecessarily ordered, Hamish immediately moved towards the statue and observed the bottom floor of the pond. Then he touched each side of the statue.
“How do I open it?” ask Hamish.
“if you close the fountain hole on the edge of the pool. Then there will be a new shower from the bottom of the pool and spray the body of the statue. One of those showers will be a hallway opener!”
“Which shower?” chase Hamish back while staring at the small holes on the lip of the pool.
“I forgot. I found it by accident. Around the right foot direction statue”
Hamish pressed a hole in the side of the pool until the water could not radiate. And it was true what the young man said. A new shower emerged from the bottom of the pool. Hamish pressed the second hole with his left hand. Then came a second burst from the middle of the pool. Hamish moved to press the other hole. From the middle of the pool appeared bursts in different positions.
“How many holes should be pressed?” Ask Hamish.
“Tot know for sure. I was just like you, just pressing around carelessly and finally found the door under the statue.”
“Lin, Maya, Help me!” pinta Hamish's. The two girls instantly drew closer to the lips of the pond and imitated what Hamish was doing. Lin and Maya looked at each other as they saw new bursts appearing in the middle of the pond as they pressed against one of the holes. Then the two girls laughed at the same time.
“I understand what's on your mind. Don't mess around. We're in the time rush. Look Captain already looks agitated!” Hamish scolds Lin and Maya who is like a child gets a new toy.
“Hey, these two holes pop up bursts in one place!” Lin exclaimed and alternately closed the hole in his right hand and left hand. As Lin said, the position of the bursts from the pond appeared in the same position.
“Try pressing together!” hamish.
Lin pressed two holes with his right hand and his left hand. The spray had become stronger and higher. Spraying towards the belly of the horse statue. Then there was a crackling sound from below.
“That's it!” the young man exclaimed. Lin, Maya and Hamish retreated from the edge of the cabbage as the sound grew stronger. In the accompaniment of the pool floor that is getting more and more lifted up.
A stunning phenomenon, a fountain pond and a statue of a horse lifted with a push from below.an iron piston serves as a lever jack. The longer the statue got higher, the hallway below was open.
Hamish shone at the bottom of the hall, then looked up at the captain who was still standing while holding Steven hostage.
“How deep?”
“About three meters capt!”
“Supervised these two men” Ef's command was immediately greeted by the muzzle of Maya and Lin's weapons leading to their captives. Ef and Hamish were still watching the passage under the statue. A round-shaped slit extends downward, the piston iron stands in the middle of the slit as the sole buffer of the pool floor.
“That statue will be down again in a few minutes.” Shouted the young man.
“What do you think?” ask Ef to Hamish.
“I think, there's no harm if we try, Capt”
"Then I go down first! wait for my cue and you guys come down!"
