Chapter 1681: Chapter 1681: Cubicles

After Ji You counted to ’1’, at that instant, the dark matter enveloping the spaceship began to retreat at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ji You: "Charge——"

Shen Changqing fiercely grasped the operation lever, turned the spaceship’s thrusters to maximum, and in the next second, the spaceship rushed out of the darkness at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Just as the darkness dispersed in all directions, a white light even more immense than the darkness came roaring in, heading straight towards the direction of X-N3848.

Ji You, He Bi, and others’ pupils contracted!

As that white light appeared, the darkness originally scattering in all directions vanished instantly, as if the entire world had been illuminated!

"Don’t open your eyes!"

"Close them!"

"Speed up!" Ji You shouted, and then said to Shen Changqing: "Don’t stop, rush straight ahead, don’t mind anything else, turn left in 10 kilometers——"

With a calm face, Shen Changqing closed his eyes, ignoring the images from the monitor, trying his best to quell the turbulence within, focusing solely on piloting the spaceship, while Sheng Qingyan quickly adjusted the course as per Ji You’s instructions.

The white light spread out, bringing along immense heat, with a tendency to ignite everything, turning them to ashes. On the deck, everyone closed their eyes, gripping their weapons, not daring to relax even the slightest.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

As the heat wave behind them gradually weakened, Ji You still said: "Don’t open your eyes, turn on all eye-protection devices, we haven’t completely left yet."

Except for Ji You’s voice, it was very quiet on the spaceship, everyone silently complied.

Shen Changqing piloted the spaceship, quickly beginning the left turn, Ji You said: "500 meters, turn, right."

Shen Changqing complied.

Ji You continued: "500 meters later, turn left."

Shen Changqing complied one by one.

...

After repeating several times, Ji You stopped, Shen Changqing slightly stunned: "Student Ji You?" What’s next, how to go?

Ji You pursed her lips, said: "There’s no road ahead, it’s a dead end."

Shen Changqing’s heart sank.

Next second.

Ji You said: "You can open your eyes now."

Everyone immediately opened their eyes, looked around, realized they were in a very narrow compartment, behind was one compartment after another, like a giant Rubik’s Cube made of compartments.

Moreover, these compartments seemed to be connected in rows, yet had no intersections, meaning they all seemed to be independent compartments.

Yue Qiguang stared: "What is this?"

Yue Qiyuan frowned: "A maze?"

Chu Jiaojiao opened her mouth wide: "Were we just scrambling aimlessly among these compartments?"

"Wait!" Shen Changqing was extremely surprised, said: "This doesn’t make sense, when I was piloting the spaceship, I distinctly felt the middle had a path, otherwise, how could we traverse compartment after compartment to arrive at this one?"

Sheng Qingyan squinted and said: "Indeed, it doesn’t make sense, just now Aqing and I clearly controlled the spaceship together, traversing compartment after compartment."

"Not talking about other things, open your eyes wide and look at the people around you." Ji You’s facial expression didn’t change much, her tone was calm, said: "The white light was too bright, causing the colors around us to seem altered, Jiaojiao, I remember your combat suit was black, how did it turn gray?"

Chu Jiaojiao looked down, shocked: "Ah! It’s true! What’s going on?"

Then, Chu Jiaojiao looked up at Ji You, immediately laughed, said: "Ji You, your hair suddenly turned all white."

Ji You: "?"

At this moment, He Bi, who had been silent, opened his mouth: "Don’t panic, it’s just that the intense light caused some damage to the eyes, altering the visual effect, once your eyes recover, the colors you perceive will return to normal."

Ji You immediately relaxed upon hearing this, laughed: "So I haven’t turned into a little old lady with white hair?"

Chu Jiaojiao stood aside, her eyes sparkling: "Student Ji You with white hair still looks good, like a snowball, snow elf."

Ji You: "..."

Everyone couldn’t help but look back towards the direction behind them, seeing that the sudden white light had already diminished layer by layer.

Then——

It disappeared from everyone’s sight, visible to the naked eye.

The surroundings returned to pitch black.

The entire spaceship was confined within the compartments, unable to pass——

Ji You said: "Earlier I could clearly find the way out because of spiritual silk reminders."

Shen Changqing was stunned, at that time he was focused on piloting the spaceship, couldn’t divide his attention, all his spiritual power was used in accurately finding the direction indicated by Ji You, to avoid any mistakes.

He confirmed there was no mistake in his operation.

Shen Changqing said: "Student Ji You, there was no issue with the route I took, right?"

"No." Ji You shook her head, said: "To think we left the space rift, were enveloped in darkness, swept into a vortex, and instead of seeing a group of lobsters, we saw a bunch of compartments, what is this?"

Ji You looked up, scanned all around, realizing what she saw were countless compartments, stretching endlessly——

What to do?

This was a problem indeed.

"Senior..." Ji You turned to He Bi, who was deep in thought, asked: "Did the teachers brief you on the current situation in advance?"

He Bi lifted his head from thought, said: "No."

Ji You twitched her lips, said: "Why are they so unreliable."

He Bi said: "There are thousands upon thousands of planes, they’ve never been, it’s impossible for them to predict which plane we would go to, of course, no experience for reference."

Though said like that, everyone understood the reasoning...

Yet it left everyone quite frustrated.

Ji You closed her eyes, released her spiritual power once again, saw her six spiritual threads now exhausted, especially the fourth who successfully led everyone to evade the white light, now sprawled atop the fifth, motionless.

Even donkey on a production team wouldn’t be used like this, forget it, Ji You simply withdrew her spiritual power.

At this moment, Liu Fufeng, who had been sitting silently and hadn’t spoken as if he didn’t exist, suddenly raised his hand, pointing at the surrounding compartments, said: "Don’t you feel this place looks somewhat familiar."

"Huh?" Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes widened: "Familiar? How is it familiar?"

"Not familiar at all, okay?" Yue Qiguang rolled his eyes, grandly said: "I’m sure that I’ve never seen this scene since embryo stage."

"You could see things in embryo stage?" Yue Qiyuan stared at him: "Say less, I don’t want to be said that the Yue family’s intelligence and emotional quotient are doubly low."

Shen Changqing asked: "Where does it look familiar?"

Half-squinting Sheng Qingyan suddenly pinched his nose, having a disgusted face, said: "Indeed looks familiar, oh... Doesn’t it look like the school’s pig farm, oh?"

Everyone paused: "!!!"
