Chapter 22 Un Entertainment The enormous rabbit head moved with her...
The hand that was blocking my view only stayed for a moment before being pulled away.
Ji Yang's clear voice gently reminded Jiang Yang, "The top part contains the eyes, all of them."
It turns out that the countless black dots on the heart are actually individual eyelashes.
Imagining the magnificent sight of all the eyes opening, Jiang Yang felt nauseous again.
Below the heart are tubes that extend into each cage, like...blood vessels.
but...
"Is the cage empty?"
Nan Ke explained, "Before you came, each cage had a person inside, both men and women."
"people?"
Jiang Yang glanced upwards, and Nan Ke nodded. "Yes, all of them, without eyes."
"That's all," Nan Ke shrugged.
"I mean, besides not having eyes, what other distinguishing features does it have?"
"It looks good," Ji Yang said abruptly.
Nan Ke was about to make a comment when she tilted her head and said, "It actually looks pretty good..."
Considering their current trial, Jiang Yang had a strange idea.
In his mission, he had to find a rabbit, but in the animal impersonation show, people were equated with animals.
"So, where are they now?"
“After we arrived, the eyes above opened part of the cage every half hour, and at the same time, a group of people would disappear from the cage. This was the last group.”
"So what's the plan next?"
"Get in the cage," Ji Yang said, walking over first.
The task of explaining fell to Nan Ke again. "The theme of the performance class was a maze, and the class was held in a cave. Everyone was locked in a cage. The only difference here was that the cages were only placed on the ground."
"Ji Yang and I skipped class, but it seems we're destined to go back to class," Nan Ke said wistfully.
Ji Yang climbed up to the third floor, stood in front of one of the cages, and waved to the people below, "Come here."
"Is there anything different about that cage?"
"We used props; the people inside were the last to disappear."
If we can't determine which disappears first, then capturing the last one to disappear is also a viable approach.
What Jiang Yang found even more objectionable was why it was on the third floor!
A height of four meters is easy for Nan Ke, but for Jiang Yang...
He had finally made it to the second floor when his arm gave out and he almost fell back down.
Nan Ke put on glasses that could resist mental attacks and looked up. The frequency of his eyelash trembling made his voice unconsciously lower, "This time when I opened my eyes, it seemed like everything..."
When they only opened their eyes partially, Nan Ke and Ji Yang could barely find the blind spots in their vision, but what if they opened them completely?
There's no one left in the cage to disappear; the only ones who can disappear are... the three of them.
Ji Yang crouched down, one hand wedged in the gap of the cage, the other reaching out to Jiang Yang, "I'll pull you up."
Jiang Yang took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes, and with the help of Ji Yang's arm, he pushed off with his feet and finally managed to climb up.
"And then?" the young man asked, his voice still tinged with suppressed panting.
The cage was large. Ji Yang pulled the iron gate shut, sat down by the cage, and his fluttering eyelashes concealed his dark and deep eyes.
Nan Ke sat down opposite Ji Yang, and Jiang Yang had no choice but to sit between the two of them, curling up her legs, resting her chin on her knees, and slowly closing her eyes.
"Walk through this long corridor in front of you, and you will reach the depths of your heart."
Ji Yang recited in a deep, languid voice.
The eyes on the heart above their heads opened in unison, their malevolent gazes fixed on the three of them, causing Jiang Yang to tremble involuntarily.
His glasses were pulled off, and he suppressed the urge to open his eyes, his hand waving in the air as if to grab them.
Someone lightly patted me on the head twice. "Go to sleep."
Ji Yang's voice seemed to be under a spell, and the discomfort from the pressure of the glasses on Jiang Yang's nose gradually subsided, allowing her to completely relax and fall asleep.
【maze】
"Huh..." Jiang Yang swayed as she got up.
Without her glasses, everything in front of her was blurred. A tall, imposing figure of a man was not far away. Jiang Yang called out uncertainly, "Ji Yang?"
Ji Yang turned around, his figure blocking most of the light from the window. "Awake?"
"Where is Nan Ke..." Jiang Yang, who had just woken up, was a little confused. Ji Yang put the glasses back in his hand, unfolded them, and put them back on his nose.
"He has to find his way out of his own labyrinth."
"Where are we now?" He blinked hard, and his vision gradually cleared.
The room they were in resembled a girls' dormitory, but it wasn't quite the same as a typical student dormitory.
"That's a question for you. What were you thinking about just now?"
Ji Yang sat down opposite him, and Jiang Yang thought for a moment, "A rabbit...?"
"Your mission?" The young man nodded and brought up the panel. Below the mission line, a countdown suddenly appeared.
[Countdown: 800s]
[Countdown: 790s]
Jiang Yang was puzzled, but immediately stood up. "There are still more than ten minutes left."
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Jiang Yang's Perspective]
"I don't understand, why did it suddenly start timing?"
"Hmm... I suddenly have a bold guess... Do you remember Hoshino's skills?"
"!!! Is that what I meant?!"
"But why did Ji Yang come back with us?"
"By the way, how come you ended up with me?" Jiang Yang asked.
"Perhaps it's because I took your glasses."
The two walked out together, and Jiang Yang even looked back uncertainly.
Unlike the clean and bright dormitory, the outside corridor looked like it had been the site of a battle, with the walls and ceiling appearing as if they had been burned.
The dormitory number was 213, the last room on the second floor. Jiang Yang and Ji Yang walked forward together. Some dormitory doors were wide open, and the layout inside was the same as that of 213.
Some doors were tightly closed. Jiang Yang tentatively pressed the doorknob, and the result was obvious.
"It's locked from the inside," Ji Yang pressed the button, then bent his finger and knocked twice on the door. "Is anyone home?"
"Hello, is anyone inside?" Jiang Yang knocked on the door as well.
About half a minute later, the locked door of apartment 205 next door was opened, and a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old poked her head out. "Hey! Stop knocking, come over here."
Inside were two men and three women, all of whom looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. Except for the girl who opened the door, who seemed to be in better condition, the others had fear and dread in their eyes.
After they went inside, the girl deftly locked the door again.
"Are you new artists at the company?" the girl asked.
Jiang Yang nodded, and the girl continued, "No wonder. Don't wander around outside when you're not in class, or the patrol will find you and put you in solitary confinement."
"We're in class, and it seems we've accidentally gotten lost, what should we do?" Ji Yang stepped forward and blocked Jiang Yang's path.
"If you get lost... I'm sorry, I don't know either."
"Have you ever seen a rabbit?" Jiang Yang asked.
"Hmm..." The girl licked her lips, "You mean like this?"
The girl grinned, reaching behind her neck to tear off a mask of pretense. Her ears popped out first, followed by a pair of greedy, scarlet rabbit eyes and a three-lobed mouth stitched together to resemble a normal human's.
The others followed suit, revealing their true colors and surrounding Jiang Yang and Ji Yang.
The girl took a step on tiptoe, making a low hissing sound in her throat.
The enormous rabbit head swayed precariously on her fragile neck as she moved.
Ji Yang gave Jiang Yang a push, "You go open the door, I'll stop them."
Then a playing card appeared between his two fingers, and as he flicked it, he calmly uttered two words, "Justice."
A playing card with the word "Justice" written on it hung in the air, and the rabbit suddenly stopped in its tracks.
Jiang Yang seized an opportunity to squeeze through the gap between the two beast-faced figures and rushed towards the door.
The young man opened the door and looked back to see the playing cards had already fallen to the ground. Just as the rabbit was about to make a move, a jet-black sword emerged from the playing cards and blocked her way.
"Ji Yang!"
Ji Yang cautiously retreated, and when he reached the door, he recalled his sword and held it in his hand, while tossing a playing card over with his other hand.
Jiang Yang only noticed that it was different from Zheng Yi, and before she could see that Ji Yang had closed the door, she didn't look closely.
However... he noticed that Ji Yang's sword seemed to be made of the same material as the Tower of Judgment.
How do you know they have a problem?
"Timid" refers to someone who is timid but will still risk opening the door.
"But why would they do that?"
Ji Yang took off the A-shaped badge from his clothes. "I think this is it."
[Countdown: 300s]
"Five more minutes," Jiang Yang glanced at the time, and the two of them walked down the corridor to the stairwell.
Faced with the choice of going upstairs or downstairs, Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to go downstairs first.
To his utter surprise, the layout downstairs was exactly the same as the lobby of the conservation association he had originally entered.
Several men in work uniforms were entering the lobby when Jiang Yang pulled Ji Yang and hid under the stairs.
"Damn it, they even dared to steal from my office!"
"Don't let me catch him!"
"Sigh, let's think about how to explain this to the big boss first."
In the cramped space, besides the sound of each other breathing, there was the faint sound of men talking outside.
Jiang Yang realized that this was probably the rabbit he was trying to catch.
"We're late. What will happen if you don't complete your mission?"
"It seems like...the invisibility failed?"
Is there any danger?
Jiang Yang wasn't sure if Hoshino and Tsukie were in danger, "Probably... not..."
"Don't worry, the morning classes should be over soon."
[Mission failed, hidden effects removed]
Jiang Yang had gotten used to the dizziness brought on by each scene change. When she returned to the familiar forest, Ji Yang was no longer by her side.
Ratface was automatically taken into the system, the protection protocol in his hand. When Meng Jiang realized that Jiang Yang couldn't see him, he became anxious, "No, Xingye and Yuejiang are still nearby, where are you, Ratface?"
"You go first," Jiang Yang said, and the next second, he detonated a red signal flare on the spot.
He muttered to himself, "Hoshino, I've been looking for you."
Ten minutes before the end of the morning get out of class, Ji Yang woke up in his cage.
When I opened the door and went outside, most of the cages were already empty, and some cages were even crammed with several people inside.
Ji Yang found Nan Ke among them, and through the gap in the railing, he placed a playing card with "I" written on it inside.
“Wake up, it’s all in the past…” he drawled, his voice rising at the end before falling heavily, “It’s been a long time.”
