After the host announced their rewards for this stage, they quickly handed them clue cards.

"Route information: The contestants will fly to Beijing, China, and go to Zizhuyuan Park to get the next clue card. For this stage, the contestants have a budget of 100 US dollars." When Yi Li read China, her eyes were slightly dazed, but She quickly continued reading with a normal face.

"Let's go, go to China." Xie Cheng knew the significance of China to Yili, and patted Yili's back lightly.

"En." Yili nodded, calmed down the agitation in her heart, raised her head and smiled at Xie Cheng, and the two ran out immediately.

She has always wanted to go back and have a look, but has never been.

Because she knows that even with the same name, this country is not her real motherland—although, she still has an indescribable sense of belonging to this country, even if it only has the same name, but without her relatives and friends, But enough to make her feel close.

Now, at last, she could go back and see it this way.

Yili and Xie Cheng took the Shinkansen and went straight back to Osaka—although they can also book air tickets at travel agencies, the information on air tickets that travel agencies can grasp is not always available, and it takes a period of time in advance to book air tickets. At the ticket counter, you can buy the earliest tickets, and sometimes you can even buy tickets for upcoming flights.

However, the two of them will only make such a decision when they are ahead enough and confirm that no one can catch up in a short while. Otherwise, on their way to the airport, someone booked a flight ticket two hours later at the travel agency. ——If there is such a timely ticket—they arrived at the airport just in time to board the plane, and they would be too embarrassed if they arrived at the airport earlier but didn't buy an earlier ticket.

After arriving at the airport, the two went straight to the airline's service window.

"Hi, we want four air tickets to Beijing, China, when is the earliest?" Xie Cheng asked immediately.

"There will be a flight in two hours, departing at 7:10 p.m. and arriving at 55:[-]." The staff at the window replied.

"Is there an earlier one?" Yili couldn't help asking.

The clue card this time told them to go to Zizhuyuan Park. It is very likely that their task is to be completed in the park. If they arrive so late, the park may be closed.Yili didn't know what time Zizhuyuan Park closed, but they arrived in Beijing at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and then rushed to the park from the airport, it might be late at night, and the park must be closed.

However, if the program group deliberately set it up like this...

Yi Li and Xie Cheng glanced at each other, and both of them thought of a balance point.

The program team is definitely not willing to let one team lead by a large margin, while other teams have no hope of catching up, so they will definitely set up balance points on some road sections to narrow the gap between the teams.In that case, it probably wouldn't make a difference whichever flight it was.But this is just their guess. For a possible lead, the two will never give up so easily.

"No, this is the earliest one." The other party shook his head.

"Then, can you help us see how many tickets are left?" Xie Cheng asked.

"There are many more." The other party said affirmatively to the two.

"Then let's go and look at other things." Xie Cheng said to Yi Li.

If there are still many, it should be okay to delay for a while. No one will book all the tickets in such a short period of time. They can go to the counters of other airlines and ask if there are any earlier flights. .

"Hmm." Yili and Xie Cheng had the same thought.

However, what made them helpless was that other airlines were similar, and there were no earlier flights.

"Hello, we want four tickets to Beijing, the one that departs at 7:[-]." The two finally returned to the original point.

"Okay." The other party took the passports and credit cards handed over by the two, and handled the ticket booking procedures for them.

Soon, Yili and Xie Cheng took back their documents and went back to the lobby to wait for boarding.

At this time, outside the imperial court, the contestants also found the trick quickly or slowly, opened the wooden lock one by one, obtained the key hidden in it, entered the courtyard, and took their clue cards from the ancient princess.

"Route information...Golden Pavilion Temple..." The contestants who returned to their teammates read out the content on the clue card one after another.

"Let's go!" The teams left the Imperial Palace one by one, took a taxi and ran towards the direction of the Golden Pavilion Temple.

Running all the way to the host, hearing the host announce their names and getting a new clue card, the contestants immediately set off to the new destination.Some people go straight to the airport, while others go to the travel agency first.But this time, no matter which booking method you choose, the result is the same.

Yi Li and Xie Cheng sighed helplessly as they watched the teams running into the airport one by one.

The two understood that by this point, the advantages they had accumulated had all but disappeared.

However, this is the case with Extreme Speed. No team can have a permanent advantage. Maybe the previous task was completed smoothly, but the next task was suddenly stuck, so the progress that was originally leading was quickly overtaken by others. Of course , and vice versa.

"Liane, Chester, how long did you buy the air tickets?" Connor walked over and spoke to the two.

"7:[-]." Xie Cheng smiled and said frankly, "No accidents, it should be the same as you."

"It looks like this." Hearing Xie Cheng's answer, Connor's eyes lit up - he thought he was behind, but he didn't expect that he was on the same progress as the leading team. Is there anything happier than this?

At present, there is no such thing.

But if Connor can catch up, why can't others?

Connor was not happy for 2 minutes, and saw Brianna and Jenna arriving at the airport one after another.

As a result, Connor also became a member of the Sighing Party.

As the boarding time approached, the four teams received their respective boarding passes and boarded the plane to China amid the sound of the airport's announcement.The contestants put away their luggage and backpacks, and quickly sat down in their seats.Jenna couldn't help but crossed herself on her chest, secretly praying for a smooth journey this time, and don't let anything happen again!

"Jenna?" Alicia couldn't help but wondered when she saw Jenna's pious face - she had talked with Jenna before, and Jenna was not the kind of religious person. Just like people, they just believe in general.

"Alicia." Jenna had chatted with Alicia before. It can be said that Alicia is one of the few players who has a good relationship with her-this may be because Alicia is relatively simple, so Jenna Na didn't ignore her either.

"What are you praying for?" Alicia asked casually, "Do you want to win the next stage?"

"No." Jenna shook her head. Of course she also wanted to win and win all the way, but she didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes now, "I just hope our trip goes well. You don't know, I'm flying There are always a few hiccups, delays, delays, things like that." Jenna shrugged resignedly.

"..." As Jenna complained, the look on Alicia's face became more and more strange, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the girl who was talking to her boyfriend in front, "I think we should go well this time, really Yes." Alicia said sincerely.

The Great Demon King is on their flight, even if the flight is delayed or something, it will never be their flight.

"..." The confidence on Alicia's face made Jenna suspicious, "Why do you say that?"

"Well..." Of course Alicia couldn't betray Yi Li, after all, she was also the beneficiary of the previous two times, so she could only type vaguely, "I don't think one's luck will always be so bad, right? ?”

"Well, that's right." Jenna still felt that something was wrong, but what Alicia said made sense, so she thought about it, and could only let it go...

Looking at the only Jenner who knows nothing, oh, and her teammates, the audience is simply full of pity.

——Come on, baby, count three rows ahead, see if you see it, that is the source of everything.

——Yes, I must say, this is by no means the pot of God or the devil!

——Yes, this is not a natural disaster, it is definitely a man-made disaster hahahahahaha! ! !

The witty audience has already seen through everything.

——Even if it’s not a big problem, it’s quite sad to encounter such small troubles all the time.

——However, Alicia was right, at least this time it should go smoothly.

——Yes, all hardships come with joy, all hardships come with joy, hahahaha.

Witnessing what happened to Jenna, some viewers almost turned fans of Jenna.

After all, it is human nature to sympathize with the disadvantaged.

However, this time, the game should be safe and sound.

Whether it's the audience or the contestants who know the inside story, they all thought to themselves.

Especially Alicia and the others, who have witnessed everything, feel extra safe because they boarded the same plane with Yili again...

Of course, there are also insecure people.

"Bruno, we have to hurry up!" Ario said to his brother while running to the relay station out of breath.

"I know, Ario." Bruno nodded and took a breath, "However, Sean and the others probably didn't catch up. We still have a chance and we will definitely stay in the game!" Therefore, although they were worried about the two falling behind , but Bruno was not too anxious.After all, this stage is over, and in the new schedule, they may still have a chance to reverse!

"No, not this!" Ario shook his head helplessly. Of course he knew that they could still stay in the game, but the more important question now is, "If there is no rest time this time and we just catch the plane, we are likely to You can't keep up with others!"

"Huh?" Bruno was puzzled. If he can't catch up, he can't catch up. It's a big deal to change the plane, as long as he doesn't fall behind too much.

"If we miss Lilian's flight, if someone asks Lilian to say something like I did last time..." Ario shuddered at the thought of this possibility, imagine——

For example, Lilian said, I don't know if the planes taken by other teams can leave smoothly? ——Well, it might have been able to take off smoothly, but it definitely won't work if you say this, so don't think about it!

For another example, Lilian said, what if the end is late? ——Well, very good, don't worry about it, it will be scheduled later.

For another example, Lilian said...

"This!" Bruno didn't think of this at first, but when Ario mentioned it, Bruno couldn't help but straighten his eyes.

"God bless, let us catch the earliest flight!" Ario prayed devoutly.

"I hope I can catch up!" Bruno also suddenly looked serious.

On the plane, Yili was recalling and recording the recent schedule, and Xie Cheng was also thinking about the format of the game.

"There are already four teams boarding this flight. I don't know if the Dunphys, Ario, and Sean can catch up." Xie Cheng propped his chin in thought.If possible, he certainly hopes that some teams can fall behind. The thicker the better, so that they will be at the bottom. Even if they encounter difficult and time-consuming tasks, they don't have to worry too much.

"It should be impossible." Yili thought for a while and said - Xiao En and the others changed a detour mission at the doll workshop, which was equivalent to wasting all previous efforts, and maybe they were behind since then; and unlocking Kong Mingsuo The mortise and tenon principle is not something that can be understood immediately. Ario and his wife and the Dunphys are likely to get stuck there...

——Okay, I didn’t run away, Ario and the others must not be able to catch up with this flight hahahahaha!

——Even if there is a team that can arrive a moment before takeoff, it is definitely not them hahaha!

——This is the will of the universe, black brothers, stop struggling hahahaha!

——It’s okay, it doesn’t matter even if you get on the next plane!As long as you are safe hahahaha!

——Ario's worry is indeed justified, but he was worried in the wrong direction hahahaha...

It can be said that Ario has never been responsible for IQ, but in terms of intuition, Ario is the most accurate!

The audience could already see the future of Ario and the others. While they couldn't help pounding the table and laughing, they wanted to shed tears of sympathy for the players who rarely thought of the key points.

On the other side, the Deng Fei couple finally arrived at the airport, but they could only watch the plane slowly take off on the runway...

"Just a little bit..." Mr. Dunphy sighed deeply.

"Yeah." Claire was also disappointed for a moment, but she quickly cheered up, "It's okay, Phil, let's check the flight again, try not to be left behind too much!" Claire patted her husband's Shoulder.

"Yeah!" After being encouraged by his wife, Phil also cheered up again, "That's right, at least we are not the last one behind, we can work harder!"

——…

——By the way, Lilian's words referred to three teams!

——So, not only Ario and the others were cursed by Crow's Mouth, but also the Dunphys!

The audience was taken aback.

——Actually, I almost caught up with it!Just a little short!

--What a pity!Watching the plane fly away, the shadow in the hearts of the Deng Fei couple must be infinite!

——If, if Lilian didn't say that, maybe the Dunphys could catch up!

The audience couldn't help feeling secretly, but all the emotions converged into one sentence, that is——

——The crow's mouth is really scary! ! !

On the plane, the ignorant Yili was discussing the competitiveness of each team with Xie Cheng in a low voice. For example, Connor and Alicia should be better at that kind of delicate operation tasks. For example, Brianna’s affinity is simply unsolvable. If you encounter a task where you have to deal with people, you must have a special advantage. For example, Jenna and the others are most eager to win, and I don't know which step they will take...

In short, the panic of the audience did not reach Yili's heart at all.

This is actually not difficult to understand.For Yili, what she said is just a possibility, and the so-called possibility certainly has a greater or lesser chance of being realized.Just like this time, based on the performance of other teams she observed, Yili guessed that Xiao En, who had started from the beginning and wasted quest time, might be behind. It may not be able to catch up, and it is speculated that Ario and the others, who seem to be not good at such tasks, may get stuck there. This is all well-founded, and it is not a deliberate curse, so Yili did not expect the crow's mouth at all.

However, audiences don't want to watch the program so much, they just want to have fun, and they don't want to watch TV and use their brains at all.Therefore, when I saw Yili's prophecy again, I would of course find it novel and interesting.

Just like in a football game, there are also some commentators or celebrities who are known as crow mouths. Of course, there are also coincidences, such as just telling some wonderful facts, but more often, their experience and understanding of the game are the most important. Let them say the final inference, but in the eyes of the audience who don't know why, are too lazy to pursue it, and just want to watch the game for fun, the conclusion that is finally realized seems miraculous.

But at least, at present, it seems that the contestants and the audience who are in the know are not aware of Yili.

The plane flew over the Sea of ​​Japan, and then over the land of China near the sea, and finally arrived at the capital of this country.

Listening to the familiar conversations in her native language, listening to the most intimate Chinese-English bilingual broadcast in the airport, and stepping on this land with both feet, Yili suddenly had the illusion of going home.But she also knows that this is not her real home.

"Lilian?" Xie Cheng called softly, as if Yili was in a trance.

"Well, let's go!" Yi Li smiled at Xie Cheng, letting go of the sudden sadness in her heart.

Yili wasn't sure if this China was exactly the same as her world's China, such as the distribution structure of the airport, and didn't want to make the photographer and sound engineer behind them suspicious, so they asked the staff, After confirming the correct route, he ran out quickly.

The two exchanged the US dollars in their hands for some renminbi, ran out of the terminal quickly, and came to the drop-off area. As soon as they saw someone getting off the bus, they immediately stepped forward and asked the driver through the window, "Zizhuyuan Park, do you know it?"

"I know you, come on!" The driver was also very happy that he didn't have to wait in line at the parking spot, and immediately motioned for the other person to get on the bus, fearing that the two foreigners would not understand, and immediately added a few words of yes.

Listening to the familiar Beijing-style Mandarin, Yili worked hard to hold back the greetings that were about to blurt out, and got into the taxi with a smile.

"Why do you go to Zizhuyuan Park all night long? It's almost closed and I'll tell you." The driver spoke to the two of them familiarly. Cooperating with gestures with hands from time to time fully demonstrates the ability of Beijingers, even the language barrier is not an obstacle.

"We're participating in a competition, and we're going there to do a mission." Of course Yili understood the driver's words, and answered the driver's question with a smile, using as simple and straightforward words as possible.The program asks the contestants not to reveal that they are participating in The Speedway, but vague races are okay.

"Oh, I understand the competition!" The driver patted his chest righteously, "Leave it to me, I will let you arrive first!"

"Okay, thank you then." Yili replied with a smile.The only regret is that in the review materials of the program group, she did not fill in that she can speak Chinese, so she can only answer in another language.

Within half an hour, the driver brought them to the closed gate of the park.

"It's here." The driver uncle stepped on the brake, "Oh, I said it's time to close the door."

Yi Li and Xie Cheng looked at each other, the disappointment in their eyes was unavoidable, but this was within their expectations.

"Do you want me to drive you to another place? Come back tomorrow morning?" the driver said to the two.

"No, thank you, it's fine here." Yili shook her head and paid the fare to the other party.

"Okay." The driver understood the meaning of Yili's words and put them down without any further persuasion.

The two got out of the car and sat on the ground by the door.

"Sleep here first, and wait for the door to open tomorrow." Yi Li said to Xie Cheng.

"En." Xie Cheng nodded without objecting.

Since you are here to participate in this competition, you must be prepared to eat and sleep in the open air.

After a while, other teams also arrived. The contestants greeted each other, and just found a wall to lean against. Like Eli Xiecheng, they also planned to take a nap here and wait for the park to open tomorrow.At this time, no one would think about finding a hotel to sleep well and come back when the park opens.

So, early the next morning, the old men and women who came to the park for morning exercises saw a wall of foreigners.

"Oh, this looks good." The old lady with all white hair whispered to her wife beside her.

"This is a young couple." The old man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, thinking about it.

"I think so." The old lady nodded seriously. People are not lovers, can they sleep together head to head?

Yi Li and Xie Cheng woke up amidst these whispers.

As soon as they woke up, they found that they were surrounded by crowds...

There are many foreigners in Beijing, but there are not many foreigners who sleep all over the place outside the park. The old men and women are curious.

Yi Li was inevitably a little embarrassed, Xie Cheng patted her on the shoulder and stood up naturally.

Xie Cheng's calmness also made Yili relax a bit, put away the thin blanket on her body, and put it back into their backpacks.

The two found a nearby pool and finished washing with mineral water before returning to the door and continuing to wait for the door to open.

As soon as six o'clock arrived, the park ranger opened the gate on time.

Yili and Xie Cheng saw the red and yellow clue box standing inside the door at a glance, and there was a more familiar turning card beside the clue box!

There are twists and turns in this stage!

Almost immediately, the two thought of this!

"Let's go!" The stage with a turnaround is the most dangerous, and Yili and Xie Cheng immediately tensed up.

The other contestants had already woken up, and they were also standing at the ticket gates, waiting to buy tickets to enter the park.

Yili and Xie Cheng stood at the front. Once they bought the tickets, they ran to the clue box, pulled out a new clue card, stood aside, and gave the space to others. They opened the clue card directly and read the clue box. stand up.
