Chapter 572: Wonderful
Su Man froze, repeating his words in bewilderment, “Your foot… is healed?”
“Hmm…” Lu Yuwen gazed down at his own crippled foot, equally astounded.
This foot of his was congenitally deformed. Although surgery made it functional enough for walking and everyday tasks, its limping gait was far from elegant.
From a young age, every time school ended or classes were over, he was always the last one to leave the classroom.
He didn’t want people to see him hobbling along.
Who would have thought that this foot, limping for over twenty years, would be healed just because of a maze?
Even though Su Man had said before that the maze could boost one’s physical constitution, such a change was too… too fantastical…
Su Man, on the other hand, considered another point–
The maze could not only heal recent injuries but even old ones!
If Lu Yuwen’s foot could be healed, wouldn’t Bai Youwei’s leg also be curable?!
With this thought, Su Man became even more excited, and she couldn’t help hugging Lu Yuwen tightly, happily exclaiming: “That’s excellent! Lu Yuwen! That’s great! Really great! …”
Lu Yuwen blushed slightly as she held him.
Even though going through life and death together could indeed breed feelings, Su Man’s enthusiasm still caught him off guard, leaving him a little flustered but also feeling warm inside; he didn’t expect Su Man to care so much about him.
Lu Yuwen hesitated before stretching out his arms and… also hugging Su Man.
Su Man suddenly pulled away from him, exclaiming excitedly: “Quick, see how many puzzle pieces you’ve got?”
He was taken aback, opening his palm, which held two puzzle pieces.
“This thing… is it a puzzle piece?” Lu Yuwen gently caressed the thin silver metal piece, trying to fit the two puzzle pieces together, but the grooves on each side couldn’t snap into place.
“I’ve never got this many puzzle pieces before!” Su Man was overjoyed, “Lu Yuwen, we are the first ones to pass this maze, so we got a total of 5 puzzle pieces! 5 pieces! We wouldn’t be afraid of dying in the game even five times now!”
Lu Yuwen couldn’t help but chuckle, “You, thinking about death so soon…”
Su Man, holding the puzzle pieces, laughed. As she laughed, her eyes teared up; her nose stung, and she couldn’t stop herself from crying.
She was laughing and crying, unsure of explaining her emotions.
Lu Yuwen lightly patted her shoulder, comforting her.
Surrounding scene suddenly changed again, leaving only pure white and an overwhelmingly large door wreathed in a white light.
“Maze war progress has exceeded 55%, please get ready for registration.”
A baffling sentence popped out of nowhere.
Lu Yuwen furrowed his brow questioningly and asked Su Man, “What do we need to register for after passing the maze?”
Su Man also looked puzzled, gently shaking her head: “I don’t know, nothing ever happened before after exiting the maze…”
Lu Yuwen surveyed the surroundings once more, his gaze falling back to the glowing door.
Besides the entrance, they had nowhere else to go.
“Let’s go, enter and see what’s going on.”
Both shoulder by shoulder stepped through the door—
And were met with a blinding white light.
Su Man and Lu Yuwen instinctively closed their eyes. Once they adjusted to the light, they found themselves in a gigantic white room.
Rather than a room, it might be more accurate to call it a square given its vastness, even though it was closed off on all sides, including the endlessly tall ceiling.
The floor, the walls, the ceiling, all composed of white blocks. The texture between metal and glass made it hard to describe.
Scattered about the room were individuals standing alone, watching them warily.
Su Man was shocked to discover that… almost everyone here was a foreigner.
