Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1323. Echoes from the Abyss (13)

Lin Xi immediately understood why Huang Jingjing stopped talking.

No wonder, this dungeon always results in a wipe.

The fact that Tong Nian can design a dungeon that no one can beat suggests that she is a dangerous person.

Although he said he would support her sister and Xinye, it's really hard to say.

No wonder her sister and Xin also said that there are more people who support Ouyang Yu and Shen Lan.

Lin Xi glanced down at Bai Yueming, who was slumped on the ground, then looked up at the silent door that exuded a cold aura.

"We have no choice but to move forward."

Lin Bei took a deep breath.

“When we disrupted the vortex of disordered notes before, we used a counter-cyclical rhythm. This door is made up of musical notes, so perhaps a counter-cyclical movement can counteract the silence inside the door and stabilize our consciousness.”

She pointed to the distorted musical notes on the door.

“Look, these notes are arranged in a mess, but if we walk with the opposite rhythm, we might be able to find a safe path.”

—Can it work?

—We have to try, even if it doesn't work!
—But there's no sound once I'm inside, how do I maintain the rhythm?
—I guess we can only rely on everyone's tacit understanding.

They exchanged glances, and each saw a resolute determination in the other's eyes.

Guo Yuelang was the first to step forward.

“I’ll lead the way. Xiao Mu will follow behind me and keep an eye on my steps. The rest of you will follow Xiao Mu. Ouyang, keep an eye on Bai Yueming’s condition. If he makes any unusual moves, let us know immediately.”

After assigning tasks, Guo Yuelang took a deep breath and stepped towards the silent door.

Instead of walking in a straight line, he deliberately staggered by half a beat, placing his left foot on a downward-twisting note while his right foot landed precisely between two notes, moving completely against the direction of the notes.

The moment his foot touched the door, the door, made of musical notes, slowly opened a crack, as if "activated" by his unconventional movement.

An even deeper silence than before swept over them, and everyone felt a buzzing in their ears before all sound disappeared.

It's not that we can't hear it, it's that sound seems to simply not exist in the world.

The clanging of stones being struck, the sound of each other breathing, and even the sound of one's own heartbeat all vanished without a trace.

Lin Xi's heart clenched. She instinctively tried to call Guo Yuelang's name, but found that she couldn't make a sound; it felt like something was blocking her throat.

She looked down at her hands, which were still waving, but she couldn't feel anything, as if her limbs had become nothingness.

The others also sensed the change in themselves, and their expressions froze.

No one dared to slack off, and they all followed Guo Yuelang's example, stepping into the silent door in a rhythm that defied the rules.

The world inside the door is completely different from the outside.

There was neither light nor darkness, only a hazy, gray chaos.

There was no solid ground beneath their feet, only floating musical notes, their light flickering like threads that could break at any moment.

Even more bizarrely, these tracks move with a person's footsteps, and with each step, the surrounding musical notes rearrange themselves, as if deliberately misleading the person into going the wrong way.

Lin Xi kept a close eye on Guo Yuelang's footsteps, not daring to relax for a moment.

Her sense of touch was rapidly fading; her feet were on the musical notes, but it felt like she was walking on cotton, with no real sensation at all.

She could only fix her eyes on the back of the person in front of her, mechanically mimicking the erratic walking motion. Suddenly, Wang Yiyi, who was walking in the middle, slipped.

She had been distracted by the musical notes beside her and accidentally followed the pattern, causing her footsteps to become regular.

The next second, the musical notes beneath her feet suddenly broke off, and an invisible force instantly wrapped around her ankles, pulling her into the depths of chaos.

Wang Yiyi's body was instantly stretched out. She frantically waved her hands, trying to grab something, but she couldn't touch anything.

Her mouth was wide open, but she couldn't utter a single sound of distress.

Lin Xi's pupils contracted sharply. Without thinking, she reached out to grab her, but her hand passed through Wang Yiyi's arm and she grasped nothing.

She then realized that her sense of touch was almost gone, and she couldn't even touch anything anymore.

Just then, Xin also pounced on him.

Instead of grabbing Wang Yiyi, she used her shoulder to ram hard into Wang Yiyi's body.

Her movements were completely against the rules; the angle at which her shoulder bumped into her was tricky and strange.

Although no sound could be heard, everyone could see that the invisible force binding Wang Yiyi's ankle loosened the moment Xin Ye's shoulder collided with Wang Yiyi's body.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Guo Yuelang turned back. His footsteps became even more chaotic, with his left and right feet alternating in opposite directions, managing to create a brief but stable trajectory in the chaos.

"Quick, keep up with my pace!" Guo Yuelang's lip movements were exaggerated yet clear.

Wang Yiyi, still shaken, quickly adjusted her pace and followed Guo Yuelang's rhythm, staggering back to the group.

She glanced down at her ankle; there were no marks, but a chill ran deep in her bones, as if she had been dragged not into chaos, but into an ice cellar.

——I was scared to death!
—Wang Yiyi almost died!
—Meng is so clever. Instead of pulling with his hands, he bumped into her with his shoulder. This counterintuitive movement really worked.

—The trajectory inside this door is too abnormal; it even moves.

Ouyang Yu looked at Bai Yueming.

Bai Yueming's body has begun to become transparent.

His features faded more and more, as if he were about to merge with the surrounding chaos, his eyes filled with a deathly stillness.

Even though he knew that Bai Yueming would be fine even if she went out, Ouyang Yu still frowned.

Just then, countless shadows suddenly appeared in the chaos.

These shadows were exactly the same as everyone else, even their clothes and appearance were identical. They walked towards the group with regular steps, following the trajectory of musical notes.

These shadows moved in the exact opposite way to the crowd; they walked with the most regular steps, each step precisely landing in the center of the musical note's trajectory.

They reached out, trying to grab the crowd and coax them to follow their rhythm.

Before Feng Xi appeared a phantom that looked exactly like him. The phantom grinned at him, mouthed "Follow me," and then turned and walked along a seemingly flat path.

Feng Xi's eyes instantly became confused. He subconsciously tried to keep up with the phantom's pace, and his steps began to become regular.

Don't go with it!

Lin Xi tried to shout, but no sound came out. He could only wave his hands frantically and warn Feng Xi with his eyes.

Lin Bei suddenly rushed in front of Feng Xi, deliberately making an extremely strange movement, stepping his left foot on the back of his right foot, and twisting his body into an unbelievable arc.

This movement completely violated the laws of the human body and utterly disrupted Feng Xi's rhythmic footsteps.
