"Master, a shortcut has been detected."
The system reported its work to Mu Xiaoxing, causing her eyes to light up. "Is there any shortcut I can take? Is it safe?"
"There's a tunnel here that can get you to the bottom faster, but the system can't analyze what's inside. There might be rats or something."
The system pointed out the nearby tunnel to Mu Xiaoxing with a beam of light. The tunnel over there was very small, only wide enough for one person to pass through. It was much narrower than the tunnel they were currently walking through.
“If we don’t take shortcuts, how long will it take us to reach the end?”
Mu Xiaoxing asked the system and shone the flashlight down, only to find that it was still pitch black and they still had to walk for a long time.
Deep, dark, cold.
These were the three heartbreaking words that Tunnel gave Mu Xiaoxing.
"Without taking shortcuts, at your current speed, you will need several hours or even days to reach the end."
"Why? Give me a reason."
"The tunnel is deep."
"It's so dark I can't see the light, it's so cold I can't feel anything, it's so deep I can't find the way out."
"Taking the shortcut is like going straight down. Walking in the tunnel is like twisting and turning, which is like going in circles. Going in circles takes a lot of time. It's like we have to take a big detour to walk a short distance."
In order to make it easier for Mu Xiaoxing to understand, the system described it to Mu Xiaoxing. A screen appeared in front of him. On the screen was the model of the tunnel they were in, and the place where they were was the entrance to the tunnel.
The road ahead turns left and right, and never moves forward, which is equivalent to going around in circles. The shortcut the system mentioned is equivalent to going straight forward, and going straight forward is much faster than going around in circles.
Mu Xiaoxing curled the corners of her lips, then took out a mat from her backpack. She already had a plan.
"Just take the shortcut. The shortcut is much faster than the tunnel."
"Then please be safe, master."
Mu Xiaoxing held the mat and sat down towards the shortcut. The tunnel was very narrow and slippery. Once she went down, it would be difficult to stop. She could only go to the bottom.
"Does this require another shortcut to get out?"
After Mu Xiaoxing was ready, he asked the system about the plan to get out. It was easy to get into the tunnel, but getting out might not be easy.
"Master, please rest assured. It's very easy to get out. There is a tunnel at the bottom that can take you out. However, the exit is not at the entrance where you are. It is somewhere else. The system does not know where it is."
"The system only knows that the exit must be near the entrance."
The system assured Mu Xiaoxing that there would be no accidents when 005 did things, because all accidents would result in death.
Mu Xiaoxing then entered the shortcut tunnel. He felt weightless and descended very quickly, feeling dizzy.
"System, can you keep up with me?"
Mu Xiaoxing didn't know whether the system behind her was following her closely. She was descending too fast. She was dozens of times heavier than the system and was descending faster than the system.
"Master, don't worry. 005 is right here behind you. The system has a flight mode that will allow it to catch up with you faster and more efficiently."
Mu Xiaoxing's heart finally settled down. She was descending so fast that she didn't dare to open her eyes to look. She only knew that she was getting farther and farther away from the ground, and the air here was getting thinner and thinner.
It's a little difficult to breathe, the air is very turbid and there is no fresh air.
"Host, hold on, we'll reach the bottom soon."
