Chapter 66 Chapter 66 (2/2)

Song Qinglan in front of him was looking back.

A simple movement had been dragged on to a few seconds. Starting from the back of Song Qinglan’s head, first it was his graceful chin line, his tall and straight nose bridge, his handsome brows, and then his face.

Ji Yushi had never looked at the other party’s face for such a long time. He was forced to have the other party’s expression completely imprinted into his mind.

Song Qinglan’s lips opened and closed. He uttered a few words very slowly. His expression slowly changed — He couldn’t make any sounds either.

Duan Wen raised his hand. He slowly approached the blue ball in the centre.

From that distance, even ten seconds wouldn’t be enough for him to reach it.

Lin Xinlan’s raised leg had not yet lowered back down. Maintaining the posture of stepping over the hole, he slowly turned his head back.

Everyone had noticed the abnormality in this room.

The flow of time was slow, and there was no sound.

In this extremely quiet environment, their movements had slowed down considerably. It was so slow, even the hair floating in the air hadn’t fallen back in place.

What was strange was, the speed was clearly very slow, but their speed of thinking hadn’t slowed down as a result.

Everyone was trying to talk.

Ji Yushi saw their mouths open and close, but he couldn’t lip read and couldn’t tell what they wanted to say. He laboriously turned his gaze. It was so slow, it was as if he could feel the movement of his eyeballs in his eye sockets and slow to the point that he could almost see the eyelashes that were usually overlooked.

In this room with a blue ball, there was already a trace of someone else’s presence.

There was a big ‘24’ drawn onto the wall. It was unknown which team had been here.

Since they didn’t seem to be around, they must have already left.

Ji Yushi’s act of leaving marks was to confirm whether he had been to the room before. Since this room already had a mark and he wouldn’t forget what it looked like, he didn’t need to mark it again.

He turned his gaze again and saw that Duan Wen had finally reached the green ball floating in the air.

Lin Xinlan’s foot on the other hand had also finally touched the ground and Song Qinglan had turned around completely and was slowly reaching out towards Ji Yushi.

Ji Yushi just happened to be standing above the point where the entrance to the room below would open.

Song Qinglan appeared to be afraid of Duan Wen accidentally selecting the wrong button and wanted to pull him away from that spot.

Ji Yushi raised his hand and let Song Qinglan give him a hand.

It was like the four of them were in a slow-motion film. Restricted movements but no change to their thoughts. Anyone who lacked patience would be frustrated to death by this situation. It took them a dozen more times longer than usual to figure out the colours of the surrounding rooms and just the act of climbing the ladder was frustrating.

To their surprise, they finally found the final unknown colour: Grey.

Because there were no sounds and their movements were slowed down, the act of checking the surrounding rooms was considerably slower. This was also the same for opening the holographic projection and adding colours to it.

Ji Yushi had now seen colours in all six directions.

They were: Front grey, back red, left blue, right blue, top grey, bottom grey.

The red room at the back replaced the green room they had arrived in.

And this was their first time encountering the colour grey.

In other words, what they have encountered now was the same blue, the opposite gray and the adjacent red.

If there was a time difference between rooms of the same colour, it would lead to death.

Opposite colours also wasn’t an option as it would also lead to death.

The red room behind them was their only option.

Song Qinglan expression was as cold as frost. He wrote two words on the holographic projection and he also mouthed, “Go—–back—–!”

At this moment, there was a “beep—-”

Someone had opened the door to the red room behind them.

Everyone was startled. They all looked over.

An unfamiliar face appeared at the entrance of the hole. He appeared to be a Westerner and his skin was rather tanned.

The movement and speech of that person was normal. He seemed to be laughing at the scene before him, as if he was gloating at their misfortune.

His voice came from the room next door but when it reached their room, it became very, very slow. It broke the silence in the room.

He revealed his teeth and said something while looking down. He probably had a companion.

As soon as he was done, he backed away.

Ji Yushi’s pupils constricted. This person was about to leave the room with the red ball!!

Song Qinglan next to him had clearly also thought of the same thing. He was already running towards that wall but unfortunately, he was too slow.

Seeing Song Qinglan’s actions, how could Lin Xinglan and Duan Wen not understand? — If those people left the room with the red ball, that room will immediately move and be replaced by a room of another colour. With this, there was a high chance of their only way out being cut off.

Before his foot could land onto the ground, there was another ‘beep—-’ and the round entrance closed.

Everyone’s expression changed.

The delayed words of that traverser finally reached everyone’s ears.

Song Qinglan had used almost all his effort to climb up the ladder and stop the other party.

But it took several minutes before he could finally reach the round entrance Duan Wen had managed to reopen.

It was too late.

There was no one in the room.

The original red ball had also become grey.

Those people had left.

What was strange was, a burst of laughter sounded in this silent room. It was that man’s laugher from before he left.

Song Qinglan’s heart turned cold. He hadn’t even had the chance to tell the others that their escape route was gone. He felt like they had not only been played with, but they were also mocked.

He wrote on the projection, “What did he say just now?”

From the tone, it sounded like French. No one understood it.

After Song Qinglan was done writing, he raised his chin at Ji Yushi indicating for him to translate.

Lin Xinlan was curious. Ji Yushi could understand that?

Ji Yushi slowly raised his hand. He wrote the translation onto the holographic projection.

——-

“Hahahaha, a group of idiots have also entered the room we were in just now! Let’s let them play in there for a while!”

It took a lot of time to write that line. He didn’t even leave out the hahahaha.

Ji Yushi’s expression was indifferent.

Everyone cursed inside at the same time: Damn it.
