The stone walls around Radji shifted with mechanical precision, reconfiguring themselves every few seconds with grinding sounds that set his teeth on edge. What had been a straight corridor moments ago was now a T-junction. The passage he'd just emerged from had sealed itself completely, leaving smooth stone where an opening should be.
"Fascinating," he muttered, adjusting his glasses as he studied the constantly changing architecture. "A dynamic maze system. There must be underlying principles governing the transformations."
His analytical mind immediately began cataloging patterns. The walls moved every seventeen seconds. Passages always maintained a minimum width of four feet. No dead ends lasted longer than thirty-four seconds before new openings appeared. There had to be logic to it, rules he could decipher and exploit.
