Lin Xinlan put away the dice he was playing with and spoke meaningfully, “Besides….I like the feeling of chasing after Cap Song’s team in terms of points.”
Ji Yushi, “……..”

The two stayed in the room for a while but Song Qinglan and them didn’t arrive.
Ji Yushi checked his communicator, “Twenty minutes have passed.”
Could it really be just as Lin Xinlan said and they had separated again? He didn’t think that Song Qinglan would take such a long time.
Lin Xinlan circled around the room. He held the blue ball in his hand and wanted to check again to see if the colours of the surrounding rooms had changed.
While Lin Xinlan was checking the rooms, there was a ‘beep—-” and a circular hole opened on the wall at the back.
One cannot avoid one’s enemy. The person who appeared was the man who had laughed at them earlier when they were in the super slow room.
It was the dark-skinned traverser. The moment the two parties saw each other, they were both stunned. The other party exclaimed, “You’re out?! How come you’re missing two people?”
Ji Yushi remained expressionless.
The other party then said, “Hey! Help us check. Are there any marks in the room you’re in?”
Ji Yushi replied in French, “What number?”
Other party, “32!”
Ji Yushi, “No.”
The other party clapped his hands in annoyance and said to his teammate below, “These traversers said there are no marks, but we’ve been going around in circles! Why?!”
“Beep—-”
This group seemed to be very casual and impolite. They actually closed the hole immediately afterwards and disappeared again.
Lin Xinlan didn’t understand what they were saying so he asked Ji Yushi.
Ji Yushi briefly explained to Lin Xinlan, “They’re going around in a circle.”
Lin Xinlan remembered the ’29’ Ji Yushi wrote and couldn’t help but laugh. Immediately afterwards, a round hole opened above them.
“Beep—-”
The two immediately looked up.
The people who appeared above wasn’t Song Qinglan and Duan Wen, but new, unfamiliar faces.
A red-haired female traverser leaned against the entrance of the hole and looked down. She said in English, “Safe!”
Lin Xinlan and Ji Yushi took a few steps back.
That red-haired woman and four other teammates climbed down from the upper room.
These people seem to have only just arrived and each of them had excited expressions like they were clearing a dungeon. The red-haired woman even greeted Ji Yushi and Lin Xinlan in the room, “Hi.”
In the twenty or so square metre room, an additional five people had appeared. With seven traversers in the same place, it suddenly felt a lot more crowded.
A traverser asked Lin Xinlan, “Mind if I use the key?”
Lin Xinlan, “Key?”

The five of them looked at the blue ball in Lin Xinlan’s hand.
They wanted to check the surrounding rooms and leave through a suitable one — They were just passing by.
Lin Xinlan readily agreed and gave them the ball. Along the way, he asked, “Excuse me, have you met our teammates on the way here?”
Ji Yushi and Lin Xinlan both wore black combat uniforms that belonged to their era. Although the squad number on their chest was different, one could still tell in one glance that they were from the same place.
These people denied it and proceeded to choose a new room.
