Chapter 1542: Rubik’s Cube Beauty (4)

No one knew how many keys existed to open the Rubik’s Cube World. Moreover, each key might require a different method to activate. It wasn't necessarily like the Yin siblings' key, which had been opened with blood.

“Tang Guo, do you have any ideas?”

While the Yin siblings were engrossed in their discussion, Zhai Chenming noticed Tang Guo sitting with her head lowered in thought. His perceptive eyes settled on her.

Tang Guo raised her head. “Ideas about what?”

“About this city. Do you think there’s anything strange about it?”

As someone who had entered the Rubik’s Cube World for the first time, Zhai Chenming knew nothing about its rules.

The ancient book that recorded information about the Rubik’s Cube World contained very little. Apart from the keys used to enter, it only mentioned that there were many things inside that could not be bought outside.

They had arrived in Happiness City not long ago when they encountered Tang Guo.

Tang Guo claimed that she had only arrived recently as well. Alone and vulnerable, she said she needed to join a team for safety.

Seeing her by herself, they agreed.

Afterward, she paid for several days of lodging and treated them to a few meals.

That was how they had become true companions.

According to the original trajectory, nearly every world they entered afterward had their food, lodging, and daily arrangements handled by the original owner.

As for now… they could keep dreaming.

“I haven’t noticed anything yet either. How about we go gather some information after we finish eating?” Tang Guo suggested with an embarrassed smile.

Seeing that she genuinely seemed clueless, and judging by her clothes, Zhai Chenming assumed she must have been some pampered young lady who had accidentally fallen into this place.

Perhaps she had simply been lucky enough to acquire some Rubik’s Cube Coins.

It seemed he would still have to rely on himself.

“Ah Ming, I noticed something,” said Yi Yingxue, her face pale as she tugged at his sleeve. “The people here not only smile all day, but they also never seem to leave the city. Ah Ming, do you think there’s some secret outside the city? Should we go take a look?”

“I actually tried leaving earlier,” Yin Rui said helplessly. “Someone stopped me. They didn’t say anything, just smiled and dragged me away from the gate. It was really bizarre. Later, I tried sneaking out while no one was paying attention, but those people spotted me immediately. They pinned me to the ground and threw me back inside.”

“Ah Ming, how about we sneak out tonight and have a look?” Yi Yingxue proposed.

Without much hesitation, Zhai Chenming quietly discussed it with the others. They decided to leave and investigate that very night.

In truth, they had only arrived yesterday afternoon and met the original owner shortly afterward.

Many of the city's residents were extremely strange. Since they had just arrived, they dared not ask too many questions, fearing some unpredictable danger.

The reason they had chosen to travel with Tang Guo was because she looked just like them—someone who did not belong to this city and seemed to have only recently arrived from outside.

So, were those smiling residents the only inhabitants of Happiness City?

Of course not.

There were also others with more normal expressions, but these people were highly vigilant and unwilling to speak much with strangers.

Each of them looked difficult to approach, carrying an aura of coldness that made the newcomers hesitant to strike up conversations.

Anyone who had survived countless cycles in the Rubik’s Cube World had already walked the line between life and death. Who among them didn't have blood on their hands, life-saving trump cards, or special skills to keep themselves alive?

Looking somewhat frightening was only natural.
