Shen Jianyi's hand, about to push the door open, was stopped in time. Gun tightly grabbed her wrist and showed no sign of letting go.
"What's up?" She turned around and suddenly realized that the sound from inside the room had stopped.
Just a moment ago when they were not yet close, the sound of a video was coming from inside the room. But now, it was deathly quiet.
The two looked at each other. Then, Gun pulled Shen Jianyi back, trying to make her hide behind him. But how could this woman be a coward? Without a word, she kicked the door open.
The moment the door opened, the scene inside the room was revealed to them.
A woman was sitting on the sofa with her back to them. Shen Jianyi frowned slightly and walked over slowly. The sound of the door opening startled the woman, and she turned around.
Her delicate face loomed large in front of Shen Jianyi. With clear eyebrows and eyes, and a slightly flushed nose tip that made it seem as if she had been crying.
Shen Jianyi was a bit surprised but didn't show it too obviously. "What are you doing here?"
Since Lan Xi had no idea who was behind the mask, she was confused by this question and couldn't react for a while.
Lan Xi scratched the back of her head and immediately got up from the sofa. Her mind was still occupied by what Lu Yuan had said. She took a sharp breath and felt helpless when facing these two people.
She always felt that she had seen this red fox mask somewhere before. She remembered that the bounty hunter hired by Lin Zhirou also wore a mask, just a different one.
In this situation, Shen Jianyi was really puzzled.
She had thought that it would be Xu Wenji in this room, but unexpectedly, it was Lan Xi.
However, just now they clearly heard Lan Xi's voice coming from the side, but now she suddenly appeared right in front of them.
Shen Jianyi was a bit confused. Her brain was working fast, and suddenly she remembered seeing a woman rush into the side corridor before she came. Could it be... Lan Xi?
"Do you know the mysterious person at this banquet?" Shen Jianyi simply asked directly.
Hearing this, Lan Xi sniffled. She looked pitiful, and even her voice had a nasal tone. "I don't know."
She really didn't know. She came to this place because someone told her to. So she had never seen this so - called mysterious person.
From Lan Xi's state, it could be seen that she really didn't know the person Shen Jianyi was talking about, and it could also be felt that she was in a state of confusion and helplessness.
Recalling the previous words, Shen Jianyi could conclude that Lan Xi was being threatened by someone.
However, this didn't have much to do with Shen Jianyi. She just wanted to know why the room had changed.
Just as she was confused, she suddenly thought that if the room was rotated in a place where no walls could be seen on all sides, a small rotation might not be noticeable.
If this was the case, they might very well be under Xu Wenji's surveillance.
Gun took the woman's hand and walked back immediately. If they didn't get out soon, they might not end up at the same place they entered through when they left this door.
"Follow me." Gun's voice was cold.
Before Shen Jianyi could react, she was pulled outside. Her mind was still thinking about whether the change in the room was due to rotation.
The two pushed the door open and saw that the space outside was completely different from when they came in. Shen Jianyi frowned. "What's going on?"
The man didn't answer but continued to walk forward.
On both sides of the room were all kinds of masks, all hanging on the walls, which made people shiver.
Shen Jianyi didn't really feel anything. She reached out to pick up one of the masks. Just as her hand touched it, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the mask.
The eyes were spinning. Reacting instinctively, Shen Jianyi punched the mask. The mask shattered, and the eyes rolled to the ground.
Gun squatted down and picked them up. When he saw that they were a pair of cameras, he understood that Xu Wenji might be constantly monitoring them from somewhere, knowing their every move. As long as they got close to him, Xu Wenji would use special methods.
Shen Jianyi had also figured this out. She leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, speaking in a lazy tone. "It seems that we're in a circular space that can rotate infinitely, just like the base of a vase. When it's at a forty - five - degree angle, the room we open is the warehouse where the chips are stored. But what about other angles?"
These words immediately made Gun react. He continued to walk forward, looking at the walls where these masks were hanging, and finally stopped in front of a door.
He reached out to hold the doorknob. He originally planned to open the door, but found that it was locked tightly.
Shen Jianyi originally planned to turn back and open the door they had just come out of, but when she turned her head, she found that the door was gone.
So the woman stood still, concentrating all her attention on her toes. She closed her eyes.
Now she could faintly feel the ground rotating, extremely slowly. If she hadn't deliberately tried to feel it, she wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
Shen Jianyi frowned tightly. How on earth did that sly and treacherous Xu Wenji find such a disgusting place?
If they wanted to leave the mask room, they had to wait until it rotated to a certain degree so that they could find the next door. Otherwise, they could only forcefully break open the door in front of Gun, but they had no idea what was waiting for them inside.
This difficult decision really gave Shen Jianyi a headache. She walked up to Gun and told him everything she had just felt.
Gun fell into deep thought. Watching as the door was gradually shifting to the right, the entire disc they were on was rotating clockwise.
But now that they had discovered this pattern, the rotation speed was getting slower and slower, almost imperceptible even when deliberately trying to feel it.
It must be because Xu Wenji had noticed, so he did it on purpose. Shen Jianyi clenched her fists. She hoped that Xu Wenji wouldn't fall into her hands. Otherwise, she would make him taste her methods.
"There's no other way. Let's just open this door." Shen Jianyi had been staring at this door for a long time and wanted to see what kind of space was inside.
Gun nodded and started looking for tools in the mask room. He said casually, "See if there's a hammer or something we can use to break the door open."
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening sound. He turned around with the thing he had just picked up in his hand and saw Shen Jianyi with her hands in her pockets, kicking the door open with one foot.
Then, Shen Jianyi looked back, and the contempt in her eyes was obvious. "This door is so flimsy. I just used a little force, and something of this quality still wants to keep me out?"
