While trying to turn the table, Qixia said, "The positions of 'Ningxia' and 'Shandong' can be connected into a horizontal line."

"The positions of 'Inner Mongolia', 'Sichuan', and 'Yunnan' can be connected into an 'apostrophe'."

"And the four dots of 'Guangxi', 'Guangdong', 'Shaanxi', and 'Jiangsu' can be connected to form a square, which is exactly the character for 'right'."

"No matter where Han Yimo's hometown is in the end, as long as it's any of the Guangxi and Taiwan provinces, it will form the character 『Mouth』, so the answer is certain from the start."

The crowd revealed strange gazes while speeding up the movements in their hands.

Qi Xia's thought process was too jumpy, yet he had revealed the answer to the riddle twice in a row, which couldn't help but make the crowd begin to doubt it.

Qi Xia himself understood this and opened his mouth to say to the crowd, "Don't misunderstand me either, if the next game is to abandon you all to live by yourselves, I will also have no choice but to let myself live."

Hearing him say this, the crowd could only fall silent, clenching their teeth as they spun the table.

Nine men sat around the table, constantly pivoting to the right.

"How many turns?" Qiao Jiajin asked.

"Twenty-six turns." Ringo replied.

"Can you count that too?" Qiao Jiajin blinked, "The table looks the same."

"I counted it by looking at the blood on the table." Ringo said seriously, "Counting is important to us counselors."

Zixia frowned, "Less than thirty laps to go, we need to hurry."

The crowd then quieted down and sped up the movements of their hands.

But the table became harder to move the later it got, it seemed like the chains inside were getting tighter and tighter.

"I throw, what's going on?" Qiao Jiajin gritted his teeth and said, "This is also too heavy."

"Come on ... maybe it's actually attached to the door!" Sweetness also bared her teeth and said.

Her words made the crowd see a glimmer of hope in the midst of despair.

Door.

Since this room was able to conjure up holes out of thin air, why couldn't it conjure up a door out of thin air?

Everyone's arms were a little sore, but they still rotated the table in a circle.

"Everyone, don't give up! There are still the last five revolutions left!" Ringo shouted.

The crowd at the moment was clenching their teeth to make it work, and none of them dared to slack off.

"Kara, kara."

As the last lap ended, the table was clearly set into something.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the soreness in their arms gradually emerged.

At this moment there were only three minutes left until one minute past one.

"Where's the door?!" Qiao Jiajin shouted anxiously.

The surrounding walls were unchanged, and the cold light from the icy harpoon could still be seen in the dark void.

"I threw! There's no door!" There was a hint of despair in the middle of Qiao Jiajin's voice.

"Wrong! We guessed wrong!" Xiao Ran screamed, "Should have turned left right? We shouldn't have trusted that liar! We're all going to die here!!!"

Qi Xia frowned slightly ...

Wrong?

Before the crowd could react, the seat clock in the center of the table suddenly started to look different.

It shook slightly and then shot out eight lasers.

The eight lasers emitted from the clock and gradually moved to the edge of the table and stopped.

To the disbelief of the crowd, the clock split the table into several fans of the same size with the same precision as if it were a pizza.

"Wow."

With a loud bang, the table was split in two.

The seat clock in the center was now only standing on a small wooden stake.

When Qi Xia looked closely, there were nine small fan shapes and one large one.

No, instead of 'fan shapes', it should be called 'triangles', after all, the bottom edge of each table board was flat.

Time was too short, and the crowd had their hands full.

"What is this?" Han Yimo exclaimed, "Why is the table still broken?"

Officer Li realized at this moment that the back of each scalloped tabletop even had handles, and his years of professional experience made him instantly understand what was going on.

"It's a shield!"

He picked up the largest scalloped tabletop and held it in front of himself.

"We can use this shield to block the harpoon!"

Everyone who heard this also raised their table tops, but unfortunately the larger table tops were the only ones available, and each of the rest could only get a small triangular piece, barely able to block themselves.

But in just ten seconds or so everyone realized what the problem was.

"How are we supposed to block it?!" Lawyer Zhang Chenze showed a rare hint of panic, "If there are harpoons on all sides, we can only block one direction ah."

"To cooperate." Qi Xia spoke back, "Let's form a circle and block each other's backs."

The crowd hurriedly adjusted their formation after hearing this and waited quietly.

At this moment, everyone was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing.

Nine strangers had become teammates at this moment, one was missing.

Qi Xia at this moment inadvertently looked back at writer Han Yimo and realized that his face was covered in fine sweat, his body was shivering, and he looked extraordinarily nervous.

At this time, a bell rang once again from a distant place outside the room.

"Are you alright?" Qi Xia asked.

"No, nothing ..." Han Yimo shook his head.

"Hey! Dr. Zhao, turn your desktop upside down!" Zhang Chenze suddenly spoke up.

"Why?" Dr. Zhao looked at the desktop in his hands, his pointy end on the bottom and his broad end on the top.

"You can't block my legs like that!" Zhang Chenze said nervously, "I'll get shot!"

"Inverted I won't be able to block my head!" Dr. Zhao was not to be outdone, "Is the head or the legs important?"

Some people felt that Dr. Zhao's words were quite reasonable after hearing the bickering between the two, and at this moment, they actually turned their fans around.

The pointed head was at the bottom and the broad head was at the top.

This created a bizarre situation.

That was that the harpoons that flew in all directions would only be blocked on the top half, and everyone's legs would be injured.

"Is this really right?" Xiao Ran froze for a moment, "Even if we can hide our legs in the spikes and block the front, but what about the harpoons flying behind us? What about the harpoons flying from the sky?"

"I'll block the top!" Officer Lee raised his huge tabletop up, "All of you come closer and I'll protect you."

I had to say that this solution seemed optimal nowadays, the largest tabletop held up by one person to block the top and the rest to block the perimeter, but Zixia still found it a bit problematic.

Ringo thought quickly and said, "Let's place the rest of us according to one on top of the other, we can each stagger away!"

"Right! Makes sense!" Qiao Jiajin chimed in.

"Not right." Qi Xia spoke up and interrupted the duo, "If everyone's table boards are perpendicular to the harpoon, it's too easy to be penetrated ..."

"Pretty boy, what do you suggest then?" Qiao Jiajin asked.

Qi Xia's gaze lingered on the sheepskin mask on the floor.

"Why aren't spring bamboo shoots afraid of the rain?"

The last prompt made Qi Xia ponder.

"Slow down, slow down... ... Give me more time." Zixia frowned.

The crowd held their breath and watched the time pass by, with only a minute left before the harpoon was launched.

"Forget about him for now!" Dr. Zhao shouted coldly, "Just stagger the emissions like Ringo said!"

"Shut up you pink sausage!" Jo Jiajin yelled back, "I believe what the liar says."

"You!" Dr. Zhao gritted his teeth and swallowed his words back.

What exactly do the big and small table boards mean ...?

"No ..." Qi Xia suddenly glared, 'It's a 'lie'! The Big Tabletop will get us killed!"

"What?" Officer Lee looked at Zixia with some confusion.

"Officer, drop the big tabletop, and you go get the last small tabletop with everyone's tips facing up!"

The crowd was slightly skeptical, but most people's minds were only blank, so they could only tentatively do as they were told.

Dr. Zhao pondered slightly and also turned the tips upside down.

Officer Lee also picked up the last of the small table boards after a few seconds of hesitation.

"Everyone bend down!" Zixia continued, "Move the tips back and lean them together. You don't have to block the top either, Officer Lee, join us! "

The crowd, under Qi Xia's command, surprisingly slowly juxtaposed all the fan shapes to form a cone.

No one had ever thought that after dropping the large table boards, all the small table boards actually tightly formed a prismatic cone, blocking the gaps on all sides and directly above.

From a distance, the vertebrae looked like spring shoots waiting for a downpour.

The crowd tensed in the pitch black space with their hearts 'thumping', the only sound echoing between them was the sound of breathing.

"It's coming ..."

Qi Xia counted the time in his mind and opened his mouth to signal softly.

In the next second, the crowd only heard the sound of wind exploding, and an invisible object slammed hard into the tabletop in Qi Xia's hand.

Immediately afterward, loud noises swept in from all directions as if it was a raging storm.

The force of the harpoon was surprisingly large, and the crowd only felt that their arms were shaken to the point of raw pain, and they were about to lose their grip on the table board.

Fortunately, everyone's table boards were all topped together at the moment, forming a delicate balance.

"Ah!"

The table board in front of Xiao Ran was suddenly penetrated by a harpoon, causing her to shriek.

Qi Xia turned around and realized that the harpoon had stopped a mere two or three centimeters away from Xiao Ran's eyes.

It was fortunate that the table board was hard enough, otherwise Xiao Ran would be dead by now.
