Chapter 311 Distorted Perception of Time
"Huh? Are you kidding me? Didn't we look for her for hours? You guys didn't even talk on the way, it's suffocating me to death!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Arataki Yidou quickly jumped out again. If he had known that no one spoke during those few hours, he would have been holding it in all this time. How could it be less than twenty minutes?
"Kuki-nin, what about you? How long do you feel we have been separated?"
Ye Lan looked at Jiu Qi Ren, her expression becoming more solemn.
"...about half a day."
Obviously, Kuki Shinobu also noticed something was wrong. Even if everyone's perception of time has errors, it shouldn't differ so much. It is not so much a perceptual error, but rather that everyone's time flow rate is different. But this doesn't make sense, because everyone saw no signs of speeding up or slowing down.
"It seems that there is one more bad news... the flow of time in this space is very chaotic, or in other words, it can affect everyone's perception of time."
The continuous bad news made the atmosphere among everyone become lifeless, and even Arataki Yidou did not rush to break it. This was certainly not because he realized how serious the matter was, it was just that he felt that speaking out at this time might not be a good idea.
"I don't think this is bad news, it's just a different perception, but we should still be in the same time and space. After all, extending the time is not an absolute bad thing, right?"
Behind everyone, Zuo Xi, who was sitting on Titan, suddenly spoke. When everyone followed the sound, they happened to see him putting something back into the folding space.
Since Zuo Xi had already explained to them the rejection of this space and how to deal with it, everyone knew that Zuo Xi had certain space technology. So no one seemed too surprised at the moment.
"Speaking of which, Zuo Xi and Shen He, how long has it been since you two felt like this?"
Yan Fei asked this question simply out of curiosity. She wanted to see if there were two people with the same perception of time. If there is, maybe we can find common ground between the two and draw something from that. For this reason, it is necessary to understand everyone.
"I often retreat when I am practicing on the mountain. So I am not sensitive to time... I'm sorry."
Although Yan Fei was a little disappointed, she was not unprepared for this answer. After all, the other party is a disciple of the Immortal, and he still belongs to the reclusive sect. Living among the clouds all year round, it is normal to have a relatively weak sense of time. If he hadn't been integrated into Liyue Port for many years, he probably wouldn't care too much about time.
"It's okay, I understand. What about you, Zuo Xi? Can you feel it roughly?"
Yan Fei waved her hands to let the other party not mind, then turned to look at Zuo Xi. Among the few, the most special one should be Zuo Xi. He is a mortal, does not have the eyes of God, and is also rejected by this space. The other person’s feelings should be of great research value.
"Me? Two and a half years."
"Two and a half years...ah? Two and a half years?"
After hearing the specific figures clearly, Yan Fei was dumbfounded on the spot. If so much time has really passed in the other person's perception, then...then this is at least enough to prove the other person's specialness.
"Yes, two and a half years. Although it may not be particularly accurate, the error should not exceed two months."
Zuo Xi nodded and repeated the number again. His tone was extremely relaxed, as if two and a half years was just a snap of the fingers and not worth making a fuss about. Two and a half years is really not worth mentioning when compared to an immortal, but Zuo Xi is a real mortal.
"It's been so long, then you..."
Ye Lan seemed to suddenly remember something and cast a questioning look at Zuo Xi. If the guess was true, then this space would be a little more weird.
"That's right, have you finally noticed it? From the moment you came out of the secret passage to now, have any of you ever felt hunger, sleepiness, fatigue, thirst... these normal physical conditions?"
Zuo Xi nodded, he was very satisfied with Yelan's reaction speed. I thought it would take some more time for them to discover this problem, but I didn't expect Ye Lan to notice it so quickly.
Zuo Xi's words caused everyone to fall into silence. At this point, even a slow man like Arataki Yidou had already realized the abnormality and weirdness of this space. The endless emergence of abnormal situations means that their past experience will be of very limited effect in finding solutions.
This reduces their chances of escape. No one could laugh after realizing this. Except Zuo Xi. Seeing everyone's sad faces, he smiled happily than anyone else.
It’s really good, and it’s a worthwhile trip.
Zuo Xi, who was in high spirits, decided to add fuel to their fire in a small way. Anyway, the time each of them had experienced was not too long, and they were still quite far away from having a mental breakdown. A little more stimulation at this point never hurts.
On the contrary, if you wait until everyone's spirit has collapsed due to interpretation of the Bible before telling them, it will probably be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
"No, is this not possible? I can tell you clearly that there are more abnormalities in this space than just these. If you can't bear it now, then your spirits will be destroyed before you escape. It collapsed in one step.”
"Zuo Xi is right. No matter what, we can't be frightened by difficulties. If we collapse before facing the problem, hope will never come...collapse!"
Although Zuo Xi's words were pouring cold water, this basin of cold water really woke everyone up from their pessimistic mood. After saying a few words to encourage everyone, Ye Lan suddenly realized that there was an extremely important thing that she had ignored.
