Mist - Chapter 61
Sleepless all night.
The sound of sea waves faintly came from outside the window, and the moist air was blown by the sea breeze, making it difficult to fall asleep during the monsoon rains.
Before the task, his thoughts were disordered and there was no direction, and he couldn’t control the various images he had seen appearing in his mind. This is not conducive to the task, he has to maintain a good condition.
During the monsoon rain, he got up from bed and took the medicine. He didn’t know if the medicine in this fantasy realm had any effect on him. In short, he was more energetic.
It is difficult to divert attention alone.
So he took out his black-and-white game console without turning on the lights, and played with the night outside the window for several hours, and didn’t gradually fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
What was repeated in the dream were all illogical pictures, about everything he had seen.
When he opened his eyes during the monsoon rain, he had already returned to the capsule.
This time, the violent vibration of the capsule and the bizarre silhouettes of time and space on the transparent panel are not surprising during the monsoon rains.
When the familiar “Warning! Warning! You have deviated from the target coordinates! You have deviated from the left of the target!” sounded, he even felt a lot less dizzy, and just waited quietly for the bump to pass.
[Illegal transition detected! 】
[Illegal transition detected! 】
After a few seconds, the capsule became quiet, which indicated that he had already made the leap to reach the new destination.
The Sky Vault system didn’t even do the face project, and the set that was empty-headed was put away.
Unlock the safety lock during the rainy season, and while receiving the nutrient solution from the robotic arm to drink, look at the transparent panel in front of him.
A string of garbled characters was displayed on the panel, replaced by a quest reminder from Skydome.
[Task Mode: Rubik’s Cube. ]
[Task rules: death and elimination. ]
[Task goal: splicing. ]
It is enough to read this information only once.
Close the panel during the rainy season, then open the door of the capsule cabin and walk out.
The light was dazzling, and the back of the hand blocked the eyes during the monsoon rains.
After he got used to the light, he found out where the dazzling sensation came from-it was a piece of white snow, like a person in the snow without any reference, it is easy to find the focus point of the line of sight.
Not far in front of him during the monsoon rains, there was a red ball, about the size of a baseball. It was only because of its existence that he could barely tell that it was a square room.
The ceiling, walls, and floor are all pure white.
For some reason, the red ball floats in the center of the room.
During the monsoon rain, when he looked back in the direction he was coming from, the capsule that was clearly behind him was gone, and it was replaced by a white wall.
This is the mission destination?
At this time, someone appeared beside him.
Like a loading animation of some kind of holographic projection, behind the snow-white wall are first black boots, then black combat uniforms, and then faces.
Li Chun landed with his left foot, and he seemed to have just walked out of the capsule.
He asked: “Counselor Ji! Where is this?”
Shaking his head during the rainy season: “I don’t know yet.”
The voice just fell.
The round-faced teammate appeared, and he was taken aback when he saw the scene in front of him, and quickly looked behind him.
Li Chun also glanced back, his hair horrified: “Fuck, where’s the capsule?!”
Their capsule has disappeared as it did during the monsoon rains. In other words, when they opened the capsule, they had already entered here. It’s the same as opening the bearded space capsule door in the Kaos mission and stepping into the mirror city with one foot.
“This is simply one step at a time, maybe it’s another crack or something, otherwise how could we be asked to join together.” Li Chun looked around in the house, “Death elimination? There is nothing here, how can I eliminate it?”
The room was a little quiet, Li Chun turned around and smiled: “Lele, don’t be afraid! There are no dogs with two tails this time!”
During the monsoon rains, I walked around the room, observing the clues, and corrected Li Chun without looking up: “It’s Tang Qi who came in.”
Li Chun: “?”
Tang Qi had had enough, and vomited unfriendly: “You have been in the team for more than a year. How many times is this?”
“Fuck, you just copy and paste as soon as you change into the team uniforms.” Li Chun defended himself, “I’m the fuck, I’m not a season consultant, you two are exactly the same and you will always be clearly distinguished.”
What twins hate most is being treated as one another every time.
Tang Qi was upset, but he was not Tang Le, and he yelled at everything he didn’t like, so he just kept silent.
It seemed that this room was temporarily safe, and with the presence of three people, everyone was not in a panic.
The most attractive thing in this room, and the only thing that attracts attention, is the red ball floating in the center of the room.
Tang Qi walked over, trying to raise his hand to touch it, and stopped him during the rainy season: “Don’t move!”
Tang Qi immediately retracted his hand: “Sorry.”
He is indeed reckless.
Li Chun asked: “Counselor Ji, will this be a killing agency?”
“It should not be.”
I have seen the ball during the rainy season. It has a smooth surface and looks like a very ordinary ball, but you have to touch it to know what it is.
He continued: “The sky system has no reason to send us into the secret room with many organs to send us to death. Death and elimination will not be so simple. I was thinking that there must be some reason for this ball to appear here.”
“what reason?”
Li Chun most will follow his train of thought to ask questions.
During the rainy season, he replied: “There is no way out here. We are trapped here, and there is definitely no way to complete the task. Then the task assigned to us by the Sky System is meaningless. I guess even if it is a mechanism, it should be opened or connected. What kind of organization. Now that the people are not complete, let’s not touch it, we will talk about it when everyone gathers.”
Tang Qi suddenly said, “That’s right.”
Li Chun: “It makes sense, I almost touched it. This way we might get separated.”
During the monsoon rain, he briefly and clearly expressed his opinion, and then walked around the room again.
Calculated according to his deliberately walking steps, each step is about 50 centimeters, and it takes ten steps to walk a wall.
Then this room is 5 meters by 5 meters, which is 25 squares.
He looked up, and visually observed that the height of the room was about the same as the width, which looked like a cube.
Rubik’s Cube…
Thinking about the mission mode during the monsoon, is this cube part of the Rubik’s Cube?
Everything is still unknown.
During the monsoon rains, he raised his hand and looked at the communicator. It has been more than five minutes since the three of them got into the room, but no one else came in.
He is a little anxious.
After saying that paragraph during the rainy season, Tang Qi has already tried to connect to the public channel: “Consultant Ji, the public channel cannot be connected, and the Song team cannot be contacted.”
“I also found out, it may be related to the signal.” Nodding during the monsoon rain, frowning slightly, “Do you remember which wall we came from?”
A seemingly simple question surprised both Tang Qi and Li Chun.
Not to mention that they haven’t noticed it during the rainy season. After entering this room, they all moved around and were no longer in their original positions.
The four walls are exactly the same, without any reference to help distinguish them, and they cannot even be identified by memory during the monsoon—they can’t even be sure where they came from.
Tang Qi: “I don’t remember, **** it.”
Li Chun: “Me too!!!”
The two of them touched the wall subconsciously, trying to find a little difference, but they started with a smooth one.
There are no doors on all four walls and no other exits.
Both are at a loss.
What they didn’t know was that this was the first time that useful content could not be traced back through memory during the monsoon, so they asked this question.
After Li Chun touched every wall, he gave up completely, feeling more and more that this task is at maximum difficulty, and simply sat on the floor: “Don’t think about it, wait a minute, we will know which one we are from when the Song team comes. The wall is here.”
No words were spoken during the rainy season.
It seems to be thinking.
“Wait, they will come.” Li Chun said again, “It must be a different schedule and a delay. Just like the time we were sucked into the crack and dropped into the trash mountain, didn’t they also arrive one by one?”
There is such a possibility.
Tang Qi agreed: “You make sense, but you don’t know how long you have to wait.”
Li Chun also kept in mind the words before the mission: “Just wait, anyway, we can’t go rashly. If we die first, we will lower the team’s success rate.”
When there is monsoon rain, the two teammates are not very flustered.
But for their mobility, they still need Captain Song Qinglan. One is a think tank and the other is an executive. These two are simply a golden combination in the eyes of teammates.
Moreover, they don’t know what’s going on, they always feel that when Song Qinglan is not there, it will be a lot colder during the monsoon rains, and they are not as energetic as when Song Qinglan is there.
The two are looking forward to the arrival of Team Song more than ever.
after an hour.
In the empty closed room, the uneasiness of the people who seemed to wait endlessly was magnified, and the three of them gradually became a little irritable.
Li Chun talked the most, and at the beginning he still chatted with them one after another.
But a soup is introverted, and he doesn’t like to talk about gossip during the rainy season. Li Chun said that for a while, his mouth was dry, and he stopped talking if he didn’t think it was interesting.
“Are you still waiting?” Li Chun couldn’t stand it anymore, “how do I think they won’t come?”
Sitting in the corner during the rainy season, he was playing Tetris in his hands. The white walls made his eyes clear and his expression very calm. Hearing the question, he put away the game console without any nostalgia: “It’s possible that they went somewhere else.”
Tang Qi: “Any other places?”
During the rainy season, he said: “There must be. Sky Qiong said that this is a multiplayer mission, so there must be more than our team. But we have not met any of us, indicating that they are in other places.”
Since this ‘sky dome in the sense of all times’ has set up such a task, there should be no priority for the participants to arrive at their destinations.
After waiting so long, it was enough to rule out the possibility that Song Qinglan and the others would come to the same place.
Just do it.
Tang Qi walked over and decided to touch the red ball to have a try.
Tang Qi’s stature easily touched it, and only felt that he was heavy in his hands, and it actually fell into his hands.
Everyone in the room held their breath, lest something might happen.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
This thing looks like just an ordinary ball.
Stand up from the corner during the monsoon rain and walk towards the center of the house.
“Let me see.” Li Chun stood next to Tang Qi and took the red ball over, observing over and over, “It seems a bit loose here-fuck!!”
“drop–“
With a soft sound, a round hole suddenly appeared on the ground. Tang Qi and Li Chun standing in the middle of the room were caught off guard and fell in the blink of an eye.
During the monsoon rains, his face changed, and he leaped at them without catching a corner of his clothes.
“Hold!”
During the monsoon rain, he couldn’t help but explode the famous words of the seven teams. Before he could see the scene below, there was another “di——” and the round hole closed again.
At the same time, the red ball bounced back like a spring.
It returned to mid-air, floating steadily.
The life and death of his teammates was uncertain, and a bit of cold sweat broke out during the monsoon rains, so he immediately took it back, and took a few steps back to observe the loose spots that Li Chun said.
There are indeed invisible buttons on the red ball, not one, but six.
Just press it during the monsoon rains, and with a sound of “di-“, I saw a one-meter-square hole in the wall in front of him.
The six buttons represent the six sides of the room.
It turns out that it is really the key to opening the exit.
I tried it twice during the monsoon, and the round hole in the ground reappeared.
“How are you?!”
He looked down anxiously.
Just as he imagined, there was also a room below, and the same white walls and ground.
But the room is empty.
Li Chun and Tang Qi, who fell in front of him, disappeared out of thin air.
