mist [unlimited]

Everyone was tired. Now that they had decided to move on, they said they would take a 10-minute break. This time, they took a full rest for nearly two hours.

Even Song Qinglan was sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall with her eyes closed.

It was impossible to say that she wasn't tired. Song Qinglan had been in a tense state for a long time, and now she relaxed, with her arms casually resting on her knees, like a big cat in a state of slumber.

Duan Wen simply fell asleep, snoring lightly.

Lin Xinlan sat aside and played dice for a while, then closed his eyes.

The room became quiet.

Playing a game console for a while during the rainy season, it seemed that he was infected by this relaxing and hypnotic atmosphere, and fell asleep for the first time.He put away the black and white game console, his eyelids began to twitch, and it didn't take long before he fell into a black and sweet dream.

It has been a long time since I had such a dream during the monsoon.

He went back to his childhood, the age before elementary school.

It was still raining, so he moved the stool and climbed up to his father's bookshelf to find some books to read.The book whose small body can't reach the high place is "Time Traveler", a rare non-academic book on my father's bookshelf, and it is a science fiction novel.

He has read that book many times, and he doesn't know most of the words in it, but the pictures are very attractive: a traveler passed through the wormhole and saw countless eras in the wormhole.

When his hand was about to reach the book, his body suddenly lightened, and he was placed on the sofa.

His father squatted in front of him, took out a box tied with a bow, and said softly, "Guys, guess what this is?"

He asked, "What is it?"

Every time my father came back after a business trip, he would bring some ancient gadgets he had never seen before, sometimes it was a tin frog that jumped when pressed, sometimes it was a small railway train with batteries, and once he brought back a A wind-up music box.

What will it be this time?

He opened the small gift with great anticipation, and found a boxy, colorful cube in the box.

His father told him: "This is a third-order Rubik's cube, a souvenir from my father's research."

He took it out curiously, and found that it was bigger than his little hand: "Souvenir? Commemorative or something?"

Father said, "Remember...something meaningful."

His father randomly scrambled the Rubik's Cube, and quickly restored it within ten seconds in front of him, and he let out a sound of admiration in surprise.

Father rubbed his hair: "Play by yourself."

He sat on the couch with the Rubik's Cube, trying to scramble it and put it back together like his father.

However, this is much more difficult than imagined.

He played for a long time, and there was no way to turn it into its original shape, let alone reach a speed of more than ten seconds.I don't know how long I played, but when my father came to check again, his tone was a bit helpless: "Sheng Han."

On the sofa, the Rubik's Cube has been completely dismantled into parts.

And he's putting it back in piece by piece, starting with the center piece.

"Look, you can also put it back together this way." He held up half of the completed Rubik's Cube, a little happy.

"Tear it down if you can't restore it?" The father couldn't help smiling, "Why are you the same as when I was a child?"

"Dad was stupid when he was a kid?" he asked.

"No," said my father. "I was as smart as Kid when I was little."

"Consultant Season."

When I opened my eyes during the rainy season, my teammates had packed up and looked ready to go.

Song Qinglan was checking the surrounding rooms for any changes, Lin Xinlan stood in place and warmed up by moving his limbs, and Duan Wen was in charge of waking him up.

After such a long break, everyone is refreshed.

The content of the dream had not yet dissipated, Ji Yushi thought for a few seconds before standing up from the floor.

Seeing that he was awake, Song Qinglan asked, "How are you resting?"

Ji Yushi said, "Not bad."

Song Qinglan nodded, stepped back her long legs, and jumped off the ladder easily: "The gray room adjacent to this wall is gone, and it has been replaced with a yellow one. Maybe someone has passed by it. Now we are surrounded by gray, yellow, Red, blue, blue. If you go to the center block, it should be around here."

Duan Wen asked: "Just now there were not many yellow rooms, it can be said that there are very few, should we try the yellow room?"

Lin Xinlan said: "There is no green here. If green is adjacent to blue and red, I think we can also try these two colors."

The three discussed a few words, and their thoughts became clearer than before the break.

Ji Yushi called up the picture drawn on the communicator. He had already drawn their moving direction on the holographic projection along the way. He said: "Now this room is purple. It stands to reason that the opposite of purple is green. We can Try going down, that is, to the blue room."

Everyone thought it made sense, Lin Xinlan smiled: "I thought about going with you."

Before the break, Lin Xinlan was still skeptical about continuing to move forward, but after the break, he changed his mind.

This is not difficult to understand, in other words, no one wants to act alone in these rooms.

Just go.

After Song Qinglan held the purple ball cushion, he let the ball bounce back after everyone entered the blue room from the round hole below, and he also got down from the ladder.

They have never been to this blue room, and according to the usual practice, it is marked during the monsoon rain.

"Team Song!"

Holding the blue ball, Lin Xinlan climbed up the ladder on the right and shouted.

Song Qinglan: "What?"

Lin Xinlan obviously found something behind the door, subconsciously called Song Qinglan.

Duan Wen shrugged.

"There's someone here!" Lin Xinlan said, "Come and have a look!"

Song Qinglan, a big man, naturally wouldn't have any scruples about a suitor in a year's time, he hasn't felt good enough about himself yet.Hearing that he walked over, Lin Xinlan had already jumped down to give him his seat.

What happened?

Both Ji Yushi and Duan Wen looked to the right.

Song Qinglan yelled a few times into the room on the right, but there was no response from the other side. He turned around and said, "This person doesn't seem to be able to hear us."

Ji Yushi was going to take a look, but Song Qinglan didn't intend to come down from here, and even stretched out her hand to give him a hand.

The two stood on the ladder together, the space was too small, Song Qinglan had to turn her body sideways.

Seeing the situation behind the door during the monsoon rain, his expression changed slightly, and he unconsciously used Japanese: "Morita!"

Morita Yuu, who died in front of the monsoon rain more than [-] hours ago, unexpectedly appeared here.

From their point of view, Morita Yuu was kneeling on the floor, talking about something.As Song Qinglan said, Morita Yu couldn't hear their voices and was unaware of their observations.

Ji Yushi stared closely at the young man who "resurrected from the dead".

A few seconds later, Morita Yu suddenly raised his head and looked to the side, as if he heard something.

The two followed Morita Yu's line of sight, and there was nothing there, only a clean white wall.

Morita Yu stood up and shouted at the wall: "Who is it? Wait! Don't go!!"

After shouting, Morita Yu immediately took the red ball suspended in the room, opened the door of the wall and hurriedly climbed up the ladder.

Song Qinglan asked, "Do you know him?"

"I know." Ji Yushi replied, not understanding the current situation very much, "He is the transmigrator I told you about, Morita Yu."

Looking at the living Morita Yu in front of her, Song Qinglan frowned. How could a person come back to life after a severed head?

Could it be that Tianqiong's death elimination this time is not what they thought?

"Di-"

Morita Yuu's figure disappeared into the round hole, and the door closed behind him.

"Di-"

As the door closed, another sound rang out.

Another door opened, and Morita Yu, who had just disappeared into the round hole, climbed down from another direction!

This scene made people almost doubt their eyes, but Ji Yushi once again noticed the red ball floating in this room.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood: "It's a record!"

The two were still lying at the entrance of the round hole.

Seeing the strange scene of Yu Morita entering the room again, Song Qinglan asked, "What record?"

"It's the room keeping records!" Ji Yushi said, "Do you still remember what I told you, after Zoe left the room, I stayed in the room alone, and then saw the process of us entering and leaving the room repeatedly? "

Song Qinglan: "Of course I remember."

Ji Yushi continued: "Morita told me that when he was alone in a certain red room, he once noticed that someone opened the door to look at him, but the other party left without showing up, and he felt a little disappointed about it. "

At that time, Morita Yu was still comforting Ji Yushi, maybe the people passing by were Ji Yushi's teammates.

The scene in front of me is the reappearance of everything Morita Yu described.

Morita Yuu in front of him came to the center of the room again.

He knelt in the room, muttering to himself, then raised his head as if he had noticed something, stood up again and shouted: "Who is it? Wait! Don't go!!"

Morita Yu opened the door again and went out from the room.

Immediately afterwards, a new Morita Yuu climbed down from the round hole in the other wall.

Again and again, again and again.

Ji Yushi climbed down the ladder first, and Song Qinglan followed.

Both Duan Wen and Lin Xinlan could hear the conversation between the two above clearly, and before he had time to ask anything, Duan Wen immediately climbed up the ladder to see the scene in front of him.

Ji Yushi then told them his own thoughts: "The Morita who appeared in the room now, just like the 'we' who I saw repeatedly in the room at that time, did not really exist, it was him who stayed in the room Mark of."

Song Qinglan: "You mean, these rooms have recorded the process of us entering the room?"

During the rainy season: "Yes."

Lin Xinlan was curious about their bold guesses, and asked, "If this is the case, then why didn't we see those idiots in the super slow room before?"

this is a problem.

"I'm not sure if all the rooms will be recorded or if only certain rooms will start recording. Because every time we leave, the original room moves, and we can't go back and see if it is recording." Ji Yu Shi said, "But I have a guess."

As he spoke, he looked at Song Qinglan, as if asking if it was okay to say this.

Song Qinglan nodded to him.

Ji Yushi continued: "These rooms have time differences and are different. It can be assumed that it is a short period of time and space. It will record everything that happened during the period from when someone entered the room to when they left the room. Simply put That is to say, the process from entering to leaving is recorded, and it will not be refreshed until someone enters again. That time Zoe left alone, in theory, the process of "someone entering to leaving" has been completed, so I can stay in the room again and again Seeing repeated recording screens."

Lin Xinlan said: "I understand. What you mean is that the room may have recorded the last time those idiots entered and left, and it was not refreshed until we entered?"

Ji Yushi: "The time flow in that room is very slow. If it is really recording, then we may be able to see the scene it records by staying at the door for a while."

Lin Xinlan was thoughtful and didn't ask any more questions.

He knew that there should be some reservations during the monsoon rains, and that was probably the key point - the time difference.

If these rooms really record the process as Ji Yushi said, will this be a big hint for distinguishing time differences and the so-called "splicing"?

When Duan Wen got off the ladder, Song Qinglan said, "Go ahead."

This time, they chose the room with the green orb.

After entering the room, they found Zhou Mingxuan in the room below, which was also a record.

Zhou Mingxuan was like a captured lone wolf, with his hands cut behind his back and a gun pointed at the back of his head as he advanced.

With him were three or four white men, wearing blue-blue glossy uniforms, who would swear at Zhou Mingxuan with strange words every few steps.

I saw Zhou Mingxuan stopped in his tracks, as if unwilling to give in, but he was coerced by this group of people to move forward, and he was the first to enter the new room - he was regarded by those people as a pathfinder to ensure his own safety.

In this repeated record, Zhou Mingxuan raised his head every time he passed the center of the room.

Let the people above the room seem to be looking at him.

Duan Wen was furious and cursed, and Song Qinglan also lowered her eyes, as if a storm was brewing.

In this huge Rubik's Cube, the same thing is happening in many other rooms. The traversers are like ants locked in a sandbox, and they can't find a way out anyway.

Up, down, left, forward.

Whenever they entered a recorded room, those recorded pictures would disappear in an instant, and no traces could be seen anymore.

The colors of the surrounding rooms are changing, they are clearly approaching the central block infinitely, but they seem to be one step away from it at the same time.

"We seem to be going around in circles." Duan Wen said, "Why do we keep walking forever?"

"That can only mean that this place is bigger than we imagined." Song Qinglan replied, "If you are really going around in circles, it is impossible not to see the marks left before."

Song Qinglan's words were not without reason, Duan Wen was speechless, how big is this place?

Except for the impatient Duan Wen and Lin Xinlan who rarely spoke along the way, Ji Yushi was very patient.

It was like a maze game for him as a kid, and he could go on and on as long as he was safe.

"To the left, the yellow room." Song Qinglan looked at the communicator. The hologram drawn by Ji Yushi had already been sent to him. "If the calculation is correct, there should be a purple room above."

There are people in this yellow room.

Two strange traversers hugged half of the corpse, sat on the floor and let it go, and seemed to have collapsed.

When everyone entered the room from the ladder in silence, it was just a record now—the two strange traversers in the room disappeared, leaving only half a corpse and debris scattered all over the floor.

During the rainy season, he kept his eyes straight and tried not to look at the corpse.

They went out of this room again in silence, and came to the purple room above.

After they left, the room with the yellow orb moved to the right and was replaced with green.Now they have blue, purple, gray, red, green, blue around them, but still don't see the central block.

"I don't know what's going on with Chun'er and the others. Could it be that we are going in the opposite direction with them?" Duan Wen said, "Damn it, just thinking about it makes me want to smoke."

The old smoker's addiction to smoking is committed.

Ji Yushi added: "When I think about it, I want to take some medicine."

He wants to take medicine.

Everyone: "..."

Ji Yushi said expressionlessly, "I'm just kidding, I'm very energetic now."

Song Qinglan didn't intend to respond to this request at all, and just continued the topic of Duan Wen and said: "If they and we are really going in the opposite direction, then they may reach the edge of this super cube, than circle around the central block inside. good."

As he spoke, he suddenly paused: "If nothing is found in the central block, we can also try to go to the edge to take a look. I don't know what's there. If the capsule cabin is still there..."

Duan Wen's spirit was lifted: "It makes sense!"

As each advance progresses, the location of the central block becomes more and more confusing.

According to the movement rules of the room, during the monsoon rains, the holographic projection line records the room routes they passed through and then calculates the next route.The distribution of colors and the movement of rooms are too complicated, and it is more difficult to calculate than imagined.

While thinking about Ji Yu, she subconsciously touched her pocket, and felt empty, only to realize that the medicine box was confiscated by Song Qinglan.

He is dependent on that drug, in fact, he was not joking when he said he wanted to take one.

But he didn't intend to ask Song Qinglan for it, he just bit his lip and continued to rotate the various colored cubes on the hologram.

The others checked the surrounding rooms separately, and Ji Yushi's arm was knocked off. As soon as he raised his head, Song Qinglan put something in his hand.

During the rainy season, he opened his palm and saw that it turned out to be a chocolate wrapped in golden tinfoil.

Where did it come from?

Song Qinglan squinted at him, with a look of innocence, put her index finger on her lips and made a "shh" movement, her eyes seemed to say "reward".

Ji Yushi's heart moved slightly, and he quietly peeled off the chocolate packaging, hesitating about whether to put this unknown thing into his mouth.

"I just picked up one, and it's very clean." Song Qinglan said in a low voice, "Now I can think carefully."

After speaking, he stepped away and asked Duan Wen to climb up the ladder to see the new room.

Ate chocolate during monsoons.

The bitter taste lingered on the tip of his tongue, and after it melted into his mouth, it turned into a faint sweetness, which completely interrupted his train of thought.

"This way."

On the other side, Song Qinglan had already raised her chin, deciding on a new choice.

The tacit understanding between the men made everyone take turns taking the lead along the way. This time, Lin Xinlan went down first, followed by Ji Yushi.

After confirming that there are no rules, there is no danger. This kind of boring room drilling game made them take it lightly.

As soon as Ji Yushi's feet hit the ground, Duan Wen shouted: "Consultant Ji!!"

Before they could even finish these three words, the sound of "beep -" sounded at the same time, and the round hole was closed right above their heads!

Both Lin Xinlan and Ji Yushi were startled, the ladder disappeared, indicating that the room above had moved after they left.During the monsoon rain, he quickly grabbed the green ball suspended in the air, opened the door and climbed up the ladder again.

The original room was replaced, and there was no one there.

"Where are they?!" Lin Xinlan looked up at Ji Yu, "Are they still there?"

Coming down the ladder during the monsoon: "The room moved and they went to another room."

Ji Yushi's tone was not anxious, and he looked calm, which was far beyond Lin Xinlan's expectations.He thought that Ji Yu would be flustered if he left his teammates, after all, no one wanted to act alone.

The team of four suddenly became two people, the two most unfamiliar.

As the captain of Team Nine, Lin Xinlan has little experience in different time and space, but he is still the best among the Guardians of the Vault of Heaven.He thought about what was going on: "It means that someone happened to move near us, and their movement brought our original room, right?"

"Correct."

Ji Yushi replied.

Lin Xinlan was tall and slender, with a beautiful face. The blood stains on the black combat uniform had dried up, and there was only a smear on his neck, which made him look even more seductive.

The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Ji Yushi didn't talk much, but he still took the initiative to say to him: "It's okay, we all know the movement rules of the room, we should be able to meet up immediately."

Lin Xinlan was not in a hurry, and asked, "Are we looking for them, or are they looking for us?"

If the two sides act together, the chances of getting separated will increase again.

"They will come to us." Ji Yushi said, "We'll just wait here."

This sentence is simple, but it is not difficult for people to hear the tacit understanding and trust that the members of the seventh team have only seen.

In other words, it was the tacit understanding and trust between Ji Yushi and Song Qinglan.

Seeing Lin Xinlan's lower lip slightly bent, Ji Yushi added: "Before we came down, they saw the color of this new room. As long as we don't wander around, they are more likely to find us."

The two stood there for more than ten seconds, and then each found a place to sit down.

If you don't chat in this situation, it will be really suffocating. Ji Yushi wanted to take out the game console and start playing Tetris, but Lin Xinlan started talking.

"Consultant Ji, I heard that you have a particularly good memory." Lin Xinlan said, "Is it because of this that you can speak so many languages?"

Ji Yushi replied: "Not all of them, some of them I learned from my classmates abroad in college."

Lin Xinlan suddenly realized: "Boyfriend?"

Before Ji Yushi could speak, he continued, "Sorry, I don't know if you mind talking about your sexual orientation."

"I don't mind." Ji Yushi said, "But it's not my boyfriend."

Some people say that the fastest way to learn a language is to fall in love.

This is not the case for the monsoon rains.

Lin Xinlan's question didn't make people feel uncomfortable, and it didn't have any other meaning, it sounded like just chatting with nothing to do.He took out the dice from his pocket, tossed it and said, "That means you are single? Why are you still single when you are so good? If it wasn't for your model, I would have wanted to pursue you."

Probably being pursued too much, Ji Yushi said it very directly: "I have someone I like."

Lin Xinlan asked, "Why didn't you chase after him?"

The taste of chocolate seems to remain in the mouth.

Bitter, slightly sweet.

Ji Yushi said flatly, "He's a straight man."
