Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow)

The two attendants of Fanhua Palace opened every door in front of them one by one.

Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo chose the fourth fan.

Ji Xiaoniao saw that inside the open oval door was an endless darkness.

He is too familiar with this darkness.

Countless experiences in the past told him that behind the "door", there must be another world.

"Since all the distinguished guests are ready..."

The boy and girl stepped aside, with calm expressions and a flat tone:

"Then, the 10-minute timer will officially start from the second after you step into the 'door'."

Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo stepped into the door together.

This time, Ji Xiaoniao felt that his "passage" was very smooth, and he didn't feel any suffocation and stagnation at all, as if he was wrapped in some kind of sticky substance. .

Behind the door is a straight, long corridor.

If I have to describe it, this corridor looks like the one you would see in a luxury hotel.

It is bright, spacious, tidy, and gorgeous, with beige wallpaper with exquisite prints on the floor, navy blue embroidered carpet on the floor, and layered domes hanging from the ceiling. "Cognition of decoration.

It's just that Ji Thrush looked around carefully, but didn't see any lighting equipment. Instead, there were clocks of various sizes, shapes, shapes and materials that could be seen just by looking up.

Yes, the "clock" is the only decoration in the entire corridor.

They are all kinds of strange, including almost all the art styles that Ji Thrush knows. The only thing in common is that the dials of all the clocks are in the twelve-hour format, and the time displayed on them is exactly [-]:[-].

Ji Xiaoniao guessed that these clocks are used to remind them how much time is left.

In addition to the densely packed clocks, there are "doors" on both sides of the corridor, and each door looks exactly the same. If you only look at it with the naked eye, you can't tell the difference at all.

Besides that, at intervals, there was a small section of wall that was exceptionally different—there was no door, but instead a curved arched wall carved with the same stone carvings that the Thrush had seen in the hall.

"Brother Dagen, Xiaolu, Xiaohe, can you hear me?"

Ji Thrush said into the headset.

They have broken up with the seven members of the Qinxuehui, so naturally they can no longer use the "Anytime, Anywhere Location Tracking" system, but Ji Thrush and the others have also exchanged for the "Anytime, Anywhere Web Meeting". Although they cannot see the location of their companions, the conversation It is still possible.

In the headset, Mr. Dagen's answer came:

"can hear."

However, the signal was very vague, and there was an obvious "sizzling" electric sound, which required Ji Thrush to prick up his ears to distinguish clearly.

Mo Tiangen told Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo that the three of them were in a corridor.

However, unlike the one where the two of them were, the corridor where Mr. Dagen and the Fan family lived had a light blue wallpaper.

"Okay, hurry up."

Teacher Dagen said.

"Let's search quickly to find out where the so-called 'Fan' is!"

Ji Thrush also felt that Mr. Dagen was right.

Just as the two of them were talking, 1 minute had passed.

Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo hurried to the first door, reached out and turned the handle.

Behind the door, there seems to be a forest.

However, at this moment, Ji Thrush suddenly caught a glimpse of the minute hand on the clock starting to move rapidly.

It was going backwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, jumping from 9 minutes to 8 minutes, then 7 minutes, 6 minutes, and finally stopped at 15 minutes.

"Fuck!"

Ji Thrush cried out.

They haven't even stepped in yet, how come it's gone for 4 minutes in the blink of an eye?

However, he quickly figured out the key point - someone must have encountered the so-called "monster that can swallow time", which would make their remaining time suddenly decrease at an abnormal speed.

However, in the short half a minute when he turned his head, the minute hand, which had been retrograde to the "fifteen" position, suddenly moved again.

This time, it moved forward clockwise, beating frame by frame, and finally stopped at the position of "21".

At the same time, the number "three" on each clock disappeared as if erased by an invisible hand.

Where the word "three" was originally located, there is only a dark dot left.

"Someone's out."

As Ren Jianmo said, he took the lead and walked into the woods.

He said as he walked, "Number three should be the number of the manipulator."

Ji Thrush raised his heels and went in, and at the same time understood the key.

He speculated that the manipulator might have been attacked by a "monster that can swallow time". After losing 4 minutes of time, he decided to give up and use the initiative to quit the mission to make up for the lost time for his teammates.

Of course, because the manipulator gave up voluntarily, his remaining time can only be halved, so now everyone's time has become fourteen plus seven equals 21, which is almost the same as when he first came in.

&&&&&&&&&

In fact, Ji Xiaoniao's guess is indeed close to ten.

Baroque, Tattoo, Manipulator, and Marco are a group of four, and they choose the first door.

After entering the door, Baroque and the others are also in a corridor, no matter the length, decoration or arrangement, they are almost exactly the same as those of Ji Thrush or Mo Tiangen. Just wallpaper.

When Baroque and others saw many "doors", their reaction was of course to open them one by one to check.

It's just that the four of them had bad luck. Behind the first door they opened was a dark cave.

And the moment the door opened, a group of golden bats flapped their wings, like a small whirlwind, and rushed towards the door in front of everyone.

The manipulator is surrounded by seven or eight small flying robots. This is his usual combat habit - when playing exploration games in unknown places, he must always bring his mechanical bodyguards by his side.

At this time, facing a group of menacing golden bats, the mechanical bodyguards of the manipulator immediately greeted them and fired at the group of bats.

There was a chaotic noise, and the laser shot down some of them, but the bats were not afraid of death, and they were not afraid of the counterattack of their prey at all, and they still rushed out of the cave one after another.

With the advantage of numbers, some of the bats still collided with the flying robot of the manipulator.

Strangely, the moment those golden bats touched the flying robot, they turned into golden powder, scattered in the air, and disappeared.

However, soon, everyone discovered that these little bats, which seemed to only be able to frighten people by jumping, were not harmless.

Although each time is only a few seconds, as the number of impacts accumulates, their remaining "time" is quickly consumed, and the pointer moves backwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, almost in the blink of an eye, and disappears in 4 minutes.

The change was so sudden that Baroque and the others had no choice but to exit the cave and slam the door shut hard to keep the bat swarm inside.

The baroque and tattoo duo then teamed up to cull the remaining bats with air bombs and tattoo wire mesh.

At the same time, they noticed that the little bats would only deduct the remaining time of everyone when they touched their bodies. If they were killed with abilities or weapons, it would have no effect.

"It seems that as long as you are touched by monsters, you will lose time."

In another corridor, Binglang listened to the reports of the team members and quickly analyzed:

"The robot hand, the robot you control, is probably counted as part of the 'body'."

He paused, and it took only a second to make a judgment:

"Manipulator, give up the mission automatically."

The tone of the white-haired youth seemed so rational and cold:

"Now you can't fight, you're just dragging other people down."

After listening to his boss's order, the manipulator was naturally very frustrated.

He didn't want to give up the chance to meet "Van" at all.

He also wanted to ask three questions, and took this as an opportunity to leave the "Peach Blossom Spring".

However, the manipulator also had to realize that what Bingxiang said was correct.

Here, his ability to control mechanical creations can only be a burden, and it is likely to consume everyone's time.

Compared with leaving "Peach Blossom Spring", ensuring that at least one person in the rectification team can find "Vatican" is their most urgent task at present.

"OK!"

The manipulator raised his hand in frustration, "I give up."

While speaking, he walked quickly to the nearest stone carving wall.

This section of the wall is not long, only less than five meters. There are a total of seven relief figures on it, and there is an empty pit in the shape of a figure.

The pothole was so conspicuous that the manipulator understood its purpose almost instantly.

So he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately stood in front of the pit in the stone wall.

His body melted into the pit like a piece of softened clay, half of his body merged with the stone, turning back into a relief sculpture without facial features.

The countless clocks adorning the corridors also changed immediately after the robotic arm finished all this.

The minute hand quickly moved forward and stopped at the 21-minute position. On the dial, the number "three" representing the mechanical hand seemed to be completely wiped off by an invisible eraser at the same time. net.

In this way, Binglao and their Qinxue lost a person 2 minutes after entering the "door", but it also restored the time to the initial state.

"listen."

The white-haired youth sternly ordered in the channel:

"Next, we will check the situation behind each door one by one, and if we find anything, we will inform each other at any time."

Bing Shui paused, and added:

"Also, be careful of any living creatures behind the door, and don't let them touch your body, because this may deduct the time, understand?"
