Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Will Succeed
Asarina breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bai Youwei with joy, “The cycle of the color blocks is 8 times, and the cycle of the serial numbers is also 8 times. According to the method you mentioned, it should be correct!”
Bai Youwei was stunned.
She was always proud, even somewhat conceited. Yet now she seemed hesitant and indecisive, as if she had lost herself.
If they made another mistake, they would face four mermaids. It would be impossible for her and Along, the injured Asarina, and the young Pan Xiaoxin to cope.
In the past, she was at ease in the game. Shen Mo’s support gave her the confidence that “even if she made a mistake, she could recover”. But now…
Risking the lives of her companions, does she dare?
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Asarina became impatient, “Didn’t you have a strong resolve in the Red Yellow Blue game? Why are you so hesitant now? You’re like a childish ghost! As soon as you face a huge risk, you become timid and cautious. You’re just too cowardly and afraid to take on responsibility!”
Bai Youwei bit her lip.
Pan Xiaoxin said urgently: “Sister Weiwei just doesn’t want to make a hasty decision!”
“But the elderly man beside you doesn’t have much time!” Asarina asked Pan Xiaoxin, “Kid, are you afraid of death?”
Pan Xiaoxin shook his head with a tense little face, “I’m not afraid!”
“Along, are you afraid of dying?” she asked again.
Along shook his head resolutely.
Asarina looked at Bai Youwei, “Do you see that? We’re not afraid to die, so go ahead and make a decision! How will you compete with other players for the King role in the future? ——King! You have to remember, you’re the King! Don’t make me regret being your subject!”
Asarina’s words felt like a slap to Bai Youwei’s face. It burned.
She was indeed cowardly and weak, afraid to bear the responsibility for others’ lives.
She had always been alone, without the care of friends. She never experienced the joys and sorrows of gathering and parting. She was accustomed to being alone! So she couldn’t bear this pressure. She really couldn’t!
And too heartbreaking!—The people she cared about! If they died because of her mistake, she would never forgive herself!
A hand gently tugged at her sleeve.
It was Teacher Cheng.
He squinted his eyes, his expression calm and gentle, “It’s okay, take your time…Don’t rush, don’t put too much pressure on yourself…We’re not in a hurry…”
Bai Youwei’s nose tingled, she quickly turned her face, not letting Teacher Cheng see her tears.
After a long while, she said, “Along…take Asarina and Teacher Cheng into the cabin. Xiaoxin, head to the control room…”
She bit her lip, her lips stinging, and then spoke again: “Set course for cave number 7.”
Asarina breathed a sigh of relief.
“We will definitely get out.” Asarina said confidently, “This time, there will be no mistakes.”
In order to get out of this maze of seven caves, they had to follow a certain pattern. What was this pattern?
The Ouroboros gave them a hint.
The seven snakes formed seven closed paths, each with its own pattern. They must “go from start to finish”. Pick one of the patterns, stick to it, until the cycle is completed, from the head of the snake, back to the head of the snake!
The snakehead they chose was number 4. They had to make eight choices to return to number 4—
1-2-3-(4)-5-6-7-1-(2)-3-4-5-6-(7)-1-2-3-4-(5)-6-7-1-2-(3)-4-5-6-7-(1)-2-3-4-5-(6)-7-1-2-3-(4)-5-6-7
Like a snake, the black and red alternate to form a cycle.
Asarina silently calculated, closed her eyes, and prayed in her heart: You will succeed, Bai Youwei…you will succeed.
