Chapter 70
"Straight men?" Lin Xinlan was a little surprised, and immediately said, "That's really tricky, and I definitely don't touch straight men."
During the rainy season: "..."
It seems that Team Lin has a deep misunderstanding of himself.
Lin Xinlan ended the topic of sexuality and talked about other things: "You get along well with everyone in Team Seven, especially you and Team Song. It reminds me of when I used to go on missions with him."
In Lin Xinlan's impression, the observer of the seventh team should be old Yu.
One year later, when Lao Yu was replaced by Ji Yu, Song Qinglan's attitude towards him also changed drastically, which made Lin Xinlan very curious, but did not dwell on this topic.
"At that time, we were still in the training camp for students, and we cooperated very well. He always thought of what I could think of, and accomplished a lot of tasks together." Lin Xinlan said, "We are always tied on the student points rankings. Those two, some people call us a double-lan combination."
I have heard Li Chun say it during these monsoons.
Lin Xinlan seemed really a little embarrassed to talk to him about this.
"Old Song is a good person, more capable than me. I thought that after I came out of the training camp, I was assigned to a team with him and wanted to be a left and right wing for him. Who knows... Tianqiong has been established for so many years, and it has gradually grown and has serious manpower. Insufficient. Even I was put on the shelf and became the leader of the new team, so the dual-lan group separated." Lin Xinlan's focus was not this, he quickly went straight to the center of the topic, "Consultant Ji, you said, Why is the Vault of Heaven developed so powerfully that we are still involved in this forced mission?"
Ji Yushi shook his head: "I don't know."
This is true.
The cunning "Sky in the sense of all times" said that they are the team with the highest winning rate, so they need their assistance to complete the task. But why these tasks should be assigned by a self-aware system, and what went wrong in the middle, remains to be verified.
Lin Xinlan told him: "There are conspiracy theories that there are loopholes in time and space, because the sky has artificially intervened in space and time. Not long ago, an anti-time management alliance was established on the dark web. Many people think that our work is meaningless because time is continuous. As a matter of fact, even if the Vault of Heaven finds a possible loophole and fixes it, another loophole will inevitably replace it."
Ji Yushi remembered the parade he saw in Bubble World.
"The sky will be destroyed!!"
"Crossing is illegal!!"
"Stop touching time and space!! Shut down the sky system!!"
"Down with the Time Management Alliance!"
That kind of large-scale protest happens in the bubble world because it is based on the original world, and sooner or later, the situation that Lin Xinlan said will become exactly the same as the situation in the bubble world.
"Our current situation..." Lin Xinlan said here, looking around the room, "Maybe it is explaining this."
During the rainy season, he did not speak.
Lin Xinlan turned around and concluded, "Perhaps time travel should not have been invented."
As a professional traverser, Lin Xinlan is really bold.
Ji Yu did not pick up on his words.
It's because Ji Yushi was not an ambitious guardian who wanted to make a career, so he couldn't express his sympathy.
"Don't worry, I'm just talking." Lin Xinlan said with a smile, "Judging from your reaction to seeing me, I definitely haven't resigned one year later."
Ji Yushi said, "Yes."
Lin Xinlan put away the dice he was playing with, and said inexplicably, "Besides... I like the thrill of chasing Team Song so much in points."
During the rainy season: "..."
The two stayed in the room for a while, but they didn't wait for Song Qinglan and the others.
Ji Yushi looked at the communicator: "Twenty minutes have passed."
Could it be that they separated again, as Lin Xinlan feared? He didn't think Song Qinglan would take so long to find him.
Lin Xinlan walked around the room, holding the blue ball in his hand, and wanted to check again whether the surrounding rooms had changed in color.
While Lin Xinlan was checking the surrounding rooms, a "beep" sounded, and the circular hole in the back was opened.
The enemy's road is narrow, and behind the doorway is the group of people who laughed at them in the slow room.
Still a black-skinned traveler, still from that angle, the two sides were stunned for a moment when they met each other, and the other said, "You guys came out?! Why are there two missing?"
When the monsoon rains, his face is expressionless.
The other party said, "Hey! Help us to see, is there any sign in the room you are staying in?"
During the rainy season, ask in French, "What's the number?"
Opponent: "32!"
Ji Yushi said, "No."
The other party clapped his hands in annoyance and said to the team members below, "These traversers say there is no sign there! But why are we going in circles? Why?!"
"Di-"
This team was really casual and rude, they even closed the round hole and disappeared again.
Lin Xinlan couldn't understand what they said, so he asked Ji Yushi.
Ji Yushi told Lin Xinlan briefly, "They're going in circles."
Lin Xinlan remembered the "29" he wrote down during Ji Yu's time, and couldn't help but laugh. Immediately afterwards, the round door to the upper room opened.
"Di-"
The two looked up quickly.
The people who appeared in Shangfang were not Song Qinglan and Duan Wen, but new and unfamiliar faces.
A red-haired female traverser was lying at the entrance of the cave, looked down, and said in English, "Safety!"
Lin Xinlan and Ji Yushi took two steps back.
The redhead and four teammates climbed down the ladder from the room above.
This group of people seemed to have just arrived, and all of them had puzzle-solving excitement on their faces. The red-haired woman also greeted Lin Xinlan in the room when Ji Yushi was in the room: "Hi."
There were five more people in the room of more than 20 square meters at once, and there were seven travelers at the same time, which seemed to become a lot crowded immediately.
A traveler said to Lin Xinlan, "Do you mind if I use the key?"
Lin Xinlan: "The key?"
The five people looked at the blue ball in Lin Xinlan's hand.
They want to open the doors around them and get out of here after observing - they just pass by.
Lin Xinlan readily agreed, gave them the ball, and asked by the way, "Excuse me, have you met our teammates on the road?"
Ji Yushi and Lin Xinlan both wore black combat uniforms that belonged to their era. Although the team number logos on their chests were different, they were still unified at a glance.
Those people said no, and chose a new room.
"Goodbye, friends from different eras!"
"Maybe we can meet again somewhere in time and space!"
With an optimistic farewell speech, the group of traversers left dramatically.
It seems that they come from a very happy era.
Two groups of travelers passed by, and Ji Yushi said, "Team Lin, let's go."
Lin Xinlan: "Don't wait for them?"
"Can't wait." Ji Yushi reluctantly accepted the fact that even if he understood the rules, he couldn't wait for his teammates in the original room, "Everyone, like us, must have figured out the same color, adjacent color, and team color. As more and more people find out the rules, there will be more and more people trying to keep walking. Have you noticed that there are more and more people nearby?β
Lin Xinlan said: "Yes, this is a bit strange, do they all go to the central block?"
Ji Yushi continued: "In this case, even if we don't move, we will be forced to move in the movement of others. Therefore, we will go as agreed before, maybe we can meet there."
Just leave.
The tone of Ji Yushi was not disappointing, and the second decision was made in a short period of time.
Lin Xinlan admired his calmness and courage.
The center block is a mystery.
Why doesn't the room here have two colors at the same time at the corners of two adjacent faces, like the imagined cube?
Is it empty there, or is there something else?
Going forward with a goal without a clue, the central block became the driving force to support them to continue through here.
They walked through two more rooms, going ahead during the monsoons, making constant marks.
Yellow, blue, purple, red, green, green, and the five colors are gathered together, which makes people gradually become irritable.
Arriving in a new room, Ji Yushi stopped his marking hand in confusion: "...how could it be?"
Lin Xinlan came over: "What did you find?"
When Lin Xinlan saw the situation in front of Ji Yushi, he changed his tone: "Have we been here before?!"
The floor is engraved with symbols that can only be understood during the monsoons.
Still two.
And when the monsoon rains, it is still not marked at all.
Lin Xinlan asked: "Did those people find us tricking them and deliberately left a mark to mislead us?"
Apart from this, Lin Xinlan couldn't think of any other possibility.
If they had been in this room before, how could there be two identical marks on the floor?
"No." Ji Yu took the trace on the floor during the rain, and then said, "This is the carving, I will not admit it."
Lin Xinlan: "Are you so sure? Maybe they imitate your handwriting."
Ji Yushi said again, and his tone was determined: "I will not admit it."
The weird scene made both of them cool behind.
How to explain this?
"This is the ninth and tenth room we have been to." Ji Yu said at the two symbols, "This is a blue slow room, which is the blue room close to it. It's the one we entered after rolling the dice. "
Lin Xinlan: "Those two blue? Are you talking about these two blue rooms overlapped?"
"I don't know." Ji Yu drooked his eyelashes, while saying that he made a new mark in the middle of the two symbols.
If there are more people around, and the room that was originally passed was moved near the current room, then they could not explain why they overlapped.
Entering a new room again, there was no sound of Lin Xinlan behind him.
Ji Yu turned his head and saw Lin Xinlan's posture lying on the round hole. The whole person motionless, forming a static figure.
"Lin Team?!"
I thought it was a slow room again, and Ji Yu shouted subconsciously, and then reacted -the time difference!
Although the color of the ball is different, the time in this room is not on the same time when the time when they come, just like Song Qinglan and him feel that they have experienced a week before he converged. Essence
" -"
The round hole in the room is closed.
There is only Ji Yu in the current room.
Ji Yu took the purple ball suspended in the air, and she could not see Lin Xinlan.
Lin Xinlan's room was moved in other directions.
Ji Yu said silently.
All of this far exceeds his expectations and is not in control at all.
Ji Yushi looked at the color of the surrounding room. When he checked the round hole in front, he froze.
A new room appeared in front of him.
It has never appeared anywhere.
The white wall, bright light.
Unlike all their imagination, it is not empty or colorful.
There was a black ball in the middle of the room.
Ji Yu arrived at the center block.
He took out the zipper head in his pocket and threw it in.
With a crisp sound, the small zipper head was almost difficult to track with sight, but when Ji Yu had excellent vision and high spiritual concentration, it still captured it accurately. It is lying in the center block, which is intact.
During the monsoon, stepped on a ladder and climbed up a ladder again.
A voice in my heart said, don't go in.
It was his reason and cowardice that spoke.
If he does it wrong, he will fail completely in this mission, he will face death and elimination, and he will not be able to continue.
If he dies in the center block, his teammates will lose his assistance, and maybe lose his trace. Will Song Qinglan continue to look for him?
But during the monsoon, he still climbed into the round hole.
He turned around, stretched out a leg, and stepped on the first pole on the center block ladder.
"Di-"
The moment he entered the center block, the purple ball in his hand bounced back, and the round door was closed.
When the season rains, the eyes suddenly become dark, and the ears are extremely quiet, and I don't know where I am.
No light, no sound, a dead silence.
During the monsoon, I can't even hear my own breathing.
Am I dead?
ββWith a thought, a trace of light lit up in the darkness.
Suddenly, a splendid brilliance burst out from all around.
During the monsoon season, he seemed to be in the vast universe, the sky was boundless, the earth was boundless, and he was in the middle of a dazzling galaxy.
He saw clearly that those starlights were actually countless cubes of different colors.
They glowed in six colors, like six rays crisscrossing each other.
A distant scene came back to my mind during the monsoon rain.
In the Sky Dome training camp, the instructor on the stage gave a gentle demonstration.
She drew a flickering and flowing light in the air: "Our scientific team invented the sky. They discovered that time is not just a line."
Then, it burst into countless thin lines.
Gradually merged with the scene in front of him.
During the monsoon, he walks in those interlaced rays of light. As soon as he takes a step, the surrounding scene turns around with his pace, regardless of whether it is up or down or in any order.
These rays seem to be truncated, with red embedded in blue, or yellow embedded in violet... Countless cubes of different colors are abrupt presences in the light, they exist in the light that should not be there, and they are staggered and interrupted. continuity of these rays.
Stop in the rainy season.
The cubes flickered, opening round holes on different sides.
He saw travelers of different skin colors and different eras walking through it.
He saw people dying, people in despair, people circling in and out of it, people coming out of the capsule and entering new rooms.
He saw the cubes move, changing the way they were formed.
During the monsoon, like the traveler in the "Time Traveler" picture that I read when I was a child, I saw countless eras in the wormhole.
As the traversers pass through, some colors in the light are squeezed into new colors, while some colors are gradually decreasing, changing constantly in a way that has not been seen during the monsoon. Travelers walk among these fragments of time and space, trying to splicing and connecting them according to the hints of the sky.
Mission Mode: Rubik's Cube.
Mission Objective: Splicing.
Someone said to him: "Will it be like in 'Chaos', the so-called task is just a literal meaning, in fact, there is no special meaning, you know, after all, it is just an artificial mental retardation and has no profound meaning."
Someone said to him, "If it can't be restored, then tear it down?"
He suddenly understood something.
There was a heavy weight on his shoulders, and someone behind him was calling his name: "When it rains in the season."
When Ji Yushi turned his head, the first thing that caught his eye was the chin with cyan stubble, then he raised his head slightly, and his eyes hit a pair of calm black eyes.
Behind him, Song Qinglan, Duan Wen, and even Zhou Mingxuan, who was covered in blood, also came to the center block.
The scene in front of them made everyone have no time to greet each other, and they didn't even bother to talk about other things. They looked up and looked around.
Ji Yushi's eyes were full of brilliance, and Song Qinglan lost interest in the splendid space-time light almost immediately, standing beside him unconsciously, raising his head together with him.
"It's quite beautiful." Song Qinglan said lazily, "How does it compare to Chaos's time-space rift?"
"Different."
Jiyu Shi replied.
In the crack of time and space of Chaos, he once stood under the aurora, and his breath was plundered by the huge silver-white planet passing through the mountain of metal garbage. It was splashed with sea water by the floating sea and swimming whales, blown by the cold wind of the falling snow-capped mountains, and soaked all over by the torrential rain.
The same is the person standing beside him.
"Maybe only our job can see this kind of scene." Song Qinglan said, "Premium sightseeing tickets are still limited."
Ji Yushi turned his head and said, "I know what's going on here."
