Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

In the sea of ​​snow, the tall black-haired young man was waving the ax in his hand at an extremely fast speed, but the clown directly opposite him dodged one by one.The clown laughed strangely, took out three balls from his pocket, and started to play ball throwing acrobatics.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuerong also stopped attacking. He put down his ax and said two words coldly: "Rules."

Using the float as a cover, Xu Minglang moved forward five or six meters away, and taking advantage of the moment when the clown's eyes were focused on Zhou Xuerong, he rolled obliquely forward, and just hid behind a flower bed behind Zhou Xuerong.The clown's quick dodge made him worry about Zhou Xuerong. He had carried Zhou Xuerong's ax once before, and it was very heavy. If this continues, Zhou Xuerong will be consumed to death.

And at this moment, Xu Minglang noticed that the voice of Po Feng had stopped, and what sounded in his ears was a "rule" in a clear baritone.

Xu Minglang felt suspicious, he wasn't sure if the meaning of that word was what he thought.

What are "rules"?Why did Zhou Xuerong say this word to the clown?These conjectures were like exploding fireworks, filling Xu Minglang's brain in an instant, and even made him ignore that his purpose of dormant here was to help Zhou Xuerong.

Is this person really worthy of his trust?He thought of the newspaper Yu Haohuai had read to him, Zhou Xuerong's various unusual reactions, and the voice in the mysterious space that Ye Jiawen had mentioned.If the world they live in is just a game, then the tests they face all need a "law", or "rules".

When I was trapped in the supermarket last night, all the exits were locked. Although Zhou Xuerong was carrying an ax, he didn't try to break the shutter. He even looked indifferent when he found the door was locked. Maybe it wasn't because of his personality. Rather, he has long known that if the conditions required for the "game" are not met, no matter what he does, he will not be able to escape.

Before Xu Minglang left the supermarket, he paid attention to the roller shutter at the exit. There were no dents, scratches, or any traces of violent disassembly, as if someone had opened it with a lock from the outside.

And what are the conditions to open the door?Is it because they burned all the mannequins?So what about this time...how are they going to find the exit...

Xu Minglang suppressed unnecessary suspicion, poked his head out cautiously, and showed his eyes to keep an eye on the front.From this angle of view, he could only see Zhou Xuerong's back, but the clown's every move fell into his eyes.

The clown took two steps left and right, stretched out his legs to sweep out an open space, and began to twist his body awkwardly, posing in various strange shapes, running to the left with his palms folded up to the top of his head, and running to the right with his hands clasped together Circle, very busy going back and forth.

At first glance, it looks like a clown is dancing, but the dancing posture is too weird and clumsy, but it looks like a small trick used to open up a comedy.

Zhou Xuerong held her breath, watched the clown's unknown dance, and concentrated on finding some kind of rules from it.

But the more he wanted to think, the distracting thoughts in his mind came out, and an uncontrollable restlessness was making him tremble all over. He told himself not to be emotional, but to calm down.He has made mistakes more than once in the past due to emotional agitation at critical moments, this time he must be calm...

The clown's dancing posture was constantly changing, and he had a disgusting and dull smile on his face, as if he was mocking the young man opposite him.After going back and forth several times, Zhou Xuerong suddenly understood the meaning of these gestures.

The clown is making figures with his body.

Put your palms together and stretch out to the top of your head to represent the number "1", and circle your arms to represent the number "0". The latter action is repeated four times, and the combination is "1000".After a while, the clown put on the figure "0" again, then rolled up his upper body and bent over to represent "9", and then repeated the action of two figures "0".

周雪荣看懂了，这是在倒计时！数字“1000”代表的是时间“10:00”，“0900”代表着“09:00”，而两次动作之间隔了1分钟。

What is the 10-minute countdown timer used for?

"What does countdown mean?" Zhou Xuerong asked.

The clown laughed viciously. He began to raise his legs exaggeratedly on the spot, as if he was running, and then pinched the index fingers and thumbs of both hands together, and pulled them to the sides, making a gesture of constricting, and then tiptoed forward. Stepping forward, his hand was groping for something in the air, and then he made a sudden realization expression, with a gloomy smile on his face, and then he made a gesture of holding something, holding something in the other hand, and pointed hard at Stab in the direction of the hand.

The clown turned around and fell into the snow in a funny way, clutching his neck and twitching all over.

"It turned out to be hide and seek." Zhou Xuerong was about to put the ax into his bag, when Xu Minglang behind him suddenly rushed out, pulled Zhou Xuerong and ran towards the car.

"What the heck!"

Zhou Xuerong was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "Why are you here?"

Xu Minglang didn't miss the guilty conscience that flashed across Zhou Xuerong's face, and suddenly choked the phrase "I'll help you" in his throat.

Why is Zhou Xuerong guilty?Could it be that he was afraid of hearing what he just said...

"When did you come?" Zhou Xuerong asked.

This redundant sentence didn't sound like what Zhou Xuerong would say. Xu Minglang already had the answer in his heart, but because of the wrong timing, he didn't show it on his face.

After rushing to the car, Xu Minglang broke apart the wreckage of the flower car, opened the doors, and explained what happened just now in one sentence.

After hearing this, Zhao Dongxiang wanted to cry with his legs hammered. He is used to sitting in the boss chair and he is not young anymore. !"

Miao Fanghui: "You still pick at any time, you are on an outing, if you don't run, you will die."

Xu Minglang's mind was very confused. He was still thinking about how to find a suitable hiding place in the remaining 9 minutes. The noise between Miao Fang and Lao Zhao interrupted his thinking.

"Stop arguing, you two, time is running out." Ye Jiawen pointed at the clown who was still wriggling.

There are less than 8 minutes left.

"Brother Lang, talk while running." Zhou Xuerong's voice trembled for some reason.

Several people agreed to run along the avenue together. Although everyone had different physiques and ran fast and slow, under the threat of death, everyone burst out with their greatest potential and they all kept up.

In front of the boulevard half-closed to the rockery, a road sign composed of three signs attracted everyone's attention.

The three signs are pointing in different directions, saying "Magic Jungle", "Discovery Tour" and "Fantasy World".

Xu Minglang made a suggestion: "I think it's better to hide separately. The garden is so big, but there is only one clown. It will be safer to hide in different parks."

Ye Jiawen immediately raised her hand and moved to Xu Minglang's side and said, "Then Brother Lang and I..."

Zhou Xuerong looked at Ye Jiawen as if she was looking at a dead person. Ye Jiawen was taken aback. She looked around at the others and found that no one was looking at Zhou Xuerong. She lowered her head and suspected that it was just her own hallucination. How could such a terrifying gaze be projected from someone's eyes? out?

Xu Minglang looked at Ye Jiawen who was bowing her head, and thought she was worried that she would not form a team with her and felt insecure, so he said, "That's it, I'll go to the fantasy world with the little girl, the three of you either Form a team..."

"No need." Zhou Xuerong said in a deep voice, "I'm alone." After saying that, he turned and ran towards the direction of "Exploration Journey", leaving Miao Fang and Zhao Dongxiang looking at each other.

The romantic warm yellow lights embellish the "fantasy world" into a romantic sea of ​​stars that can only be found in fairy tales. Under the night, Xu Minglang leads Ye Jiawen and runs all the way forward. Xu Minglang's goal is the Ferris wheel, which is the highest point of the Summer Kingdom , which is convenient for exploration and hiding at the same time.

Xu Minglang glanced at his phone, 6 minutes had passed, and soon the clowns would start moving, and they were still some distance away from the Ferris wheel. Xu Minglang panicked when he thought of this, he was afraid that he would make a wrong decision, As a result, a girl died with him.Xu Minglang concealed his emotions, and looked behind him from time to time to make sure that the girl followed.

Although Ye Jiawen was struggling to run, she gritted her teeth and kept up, but her heavy footsteps attracted Xu Minglang's attention.He stopped suddenly and looked at the four rows of footprints in the continuous snow, which seemed to betray the whereabouts of the two of them.Xu Minglang looked around and said to Ye Jiawen who was still a little flustered: "Persevere, let's take the mountain road!"

Ye Jiawen nodded vigorously, and the two of them bypassed the pirate ship, and found the grove behind the nearby popcorn selling cart, but the stone wall was a bit high, which was a bit difficult for Ye Jiawen.Xu Minglang immediately squatted down, put his hands on his thighs, and asked the girl to step on his hands and jump up.The situation was urgent, and Ye Jiawen didn't twitch too much. With the support of her strength, she jumped up and her upper body was successfully supported by the stone wall.Xu Minglang seized the time, stepped on a protruding stone, grabbed the wall with both hands, supported it with a low growl, and then quickly helped Ye Jiawen who hadn't fully climbed up yet.

Most of the trees planted in the woods were short shrubs, and the lights on the opposite side could be easily seen. The two paid attention to their feet, and it didn't take long for them to walk out of the woods and run to the highest point of the amusement park.At this time, the 10-minute countdown had passed, and the clown had already started to move, but they didn't know which way the clown would choose. Xu Minglang told Ye Jiawen not to be nervous, they still had time before the clown arrived.

The journey to the Ferris wheel went smoothly. The two passed through the unobstructed queue, got into the cockpit closest to the ground, and locked the door.The two people who were temporarily out of the crisis lay on their seats panting, and carefully hid their bodies under the opaque partition of the cockpit.

Even though he was face to face with the beautiful girl in the cockpit, Xu Minglang still cast his eyes on the small piece of snow in front of his eyes. This piece of snow reminded him how naked their footprints were along the way.However, the snow fell slowly and thinly, and it couldn't cover the footprints for a while, so I could only pray that the clown's movements would slow down.

How is everyone else doing now?Xu Minglang thought that Yu Haohuai and Cao Jing had gone to the bathroom and hadn't come back until now. Did something happen to them or they were also imprisoned?The built-in air conditioner in the cockpit warmed him up, but his thinking became dull and slack because of the comfort. Zhou Xuerong's face appeared inappropriately, including his phrase "I'm alone".

It's incredible to hear words like a child's anger from a man who is a head taller than him.

When Xu Minglang thought of this, he felt a little guilty. Zhou Xuerong's actions alone were nothing more than trying to prove his innocence, to prove that he did not harm others under the instructions of the shady.

Ever since they fell into this strange world, Xu Minglang has almost always acted together with Zhou Xuerong. Zhou Xuerong has neither the time nor the motive to do harm. If he was a shady person, why would he risk his life to save Ye Jiawen? ?

Xu Minglang thought of Zhou Xuerong looking at Sunrise's back in the early morning when he found out that he was betrayed by others. At that time, Zhou Xuerong might have been as disappointed as himself, but he didn't say anything, and the tears in his eyes had replaced thousands of words.

what about now?Will Zhou Xuerong also feel disappointed in himself, because he found out that he is no different from others, or worse.Others will put doubts on their faces, while they say one thing and do another, and a little trouble can annihilate the so-called trust.

Xu Minglang thought a little depressed, and took a step back to think. True trust is built on the openness and honesty of both parties. He dared to say that he did not hide anything from Zhou Xuerong, but Zhou Xuerong was different. Even if there is something to hide, how can a life-gambler stand up to such concealment?

Xu Minglang closed his eyes to relieve the dryness of his eyes due to lack of sleep, he thought that it would be useless to think too much, if he could escape together again, he must ask clearly.When he opened his eyes and looked out the window again, the cockpit was already a certain distance from the ground, and it seemed that the clown would not be able to catch up for a while.The feeling of peace dispelled the state of alertness, bringing not only sleepiness, but also hunger.

With a "grunt", a kitten-like cry came from the stomach of the girl opposite. Xu Minglang wanted to laugh out of season. The girl blushed a little, but couldn't help herself from laughing first.The two laughed softly for a while, and the girl stopped and said, "Brother Lang, there is something I didn't say before, but after thinking about it, it's better to say it."

Speaking of which, Ye Jiawen unzipped the zipper on the pocket of the cotton-padded jacket, took out a few pink banknotes from inside, and said to Xu Minglang, "I've already got it, what I lost."
