The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL] Chapter 723

[PLEASE, follow the green arrows.]

After that notification, green arrows appeared floating and pointing towards the door of the waiting room. Luo Yan glanced down at his brother, the other also looked at him. They both nodded at each other and then walked out of the room. The remaining two also followed.

They continued to follow the green arrows on the corridor. Luo Yan noticed how the direction they were walking on would not lead them to the rink. He couldn't help but wonder just what kind of gimmick this game had prepared for them. 

At the end of their destination, four doors appeared. On each door was their names. It followed the sequence of their wins. From the leftmost door to the rightmost, the names were; Dragnar, Winged Tassel, AmazingYoungMasterJin, and Noctis.

Before they could observe the doors, a virtual screen appeared in front of them saying;

[Please enter the door that has your name on it.]

Luo Yan glanced at his brother. He had a feeling that this was probably the last time they would meet before the semi-final round was finished. So, he said;

"Good luck, Ah Jin."

"Who needs luck?" Luo Jin snorted before raising his head and looking at Luo Yan. "Be careful."

Luo Yan chuckled. The other was obviously worried. But Luo Jin being Luo Jin, he had to say something thorny before saying something sweet. "You too."

Then, they walked towards the door and opened it. The other two also did the same. After that, all four entered their designated door.

When Luo Yan walked in, the door that he just entered disappeared. What appeared in his eyes was a clean, white room. White ceiling, white walls, and a white floor. Because of this, one couldn't see where the three met, making it looked like he was floating on a pure white space. 

The little fox buried his head in Luo Yan's arms. [Mashter, this room makes Eclipse dizzy.]

He couldn't blame the other for saying that. A pure white room with not even a speck of dust in it was like being stuck in nothingness. He once read that imprisoning someone for a long period of time inside a room with nothing but the color white could lead to a mental breakdown. It could easily be a form of torture.

He narrowed his eyes, wondering what kind of gimmick this was. Then, suddenly, something started to appear in front of him. It's like pixels being strewn together until it had a concrete form. And there standing was a chibi version of the Duke of Hearts.

"Hello there, peasant," the other greeted in his usual arrogant manner. But because of his current appearance, this arrogance only made him look adorable. "First of, try to think of your favorite place. It could be anywhere else. It could even be your own room. Just anything."

With the duke's suggestion, a particular place suddenly appeared in Luo Yan's mind. Soon, the white room began to change. Pixilation appeared here and there until the white room completely vanished and it turned into a very familiar place.

A place in the clouds with wildflowers blooming and a tall tree with pure white leaves falling like snow. He was surprised seeing this scene. He actually wanted to think of their home's back garden. But unexpectedly, this place was the first thing that came to his mind. 

He smiled. Well, it seemed that he really considered that floating island as his and Shen Ji Yun's special place. 

[Mashter, Mashter, isn't this the Captain's island?] – Eclipse exclaimed with awe. He raised his head, looked at his master and asked in a very innocent tone, [Mashter, are you thinking of Captain right now?] 

Luo Yan only patted the little fox's head and did not answer. Was he thinking of Shen Ji Yun at this moment? No, not exactly. But maybe his subconscious didn't think so.

"Oh, this is quite the fascinating place you've got here," the duke commented, cutting of Luo Yan's train of thought. "Can this lord know the name of this place?"

Luo Yan smiled. "Let's just call it 'Adorable Cinnamon Roll's Island'."

[Mashter, what if Captain heard what you said?] – Eclipse asked in a shocked voice.

[Don't worry, how could he know? Besides, it's not like I'm lying. Brother Ji Yun is indeed an adorable cinnamon roll.]

But contrary to Luo Yan's belief, everything that's happening in the rooms that the four participants walked in was being broadcasted at the coliseum.

—–

Four virtual screens were currently floating inside the coliseum. Each one showed what was happening with the four remaining participants of the Carnival. The people that were in the royal box could pick the participants they wanted to watch and small virtual screens would appear in their box.

Of course, team Yunyue et al chose Luo Yan and Luo Jin. Everyone had their attention split between the two screens. Except for Shen Ji Yun. All his attention was only for his rabbit.

He watched as Luo Yan entered the white room and was asked by the small version of the duke to think of a place. He had already guessed that the room would transform to whatever place they would think of.

The room started to change. And once it's completely transformed, Shen Ji Yun's eyes imperceptibly widened. Because the room now turned into his island. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind at that moment. But the most prominent was – 'Yan Yan thought of my island! Does that mean he's thinking about me?'. 

"What's the name of this place Xiao Yan thought about? It seemed a bit magical, isn't it?" Luo Wei Tian's voice echoed, his tone full of curiosity.

Bai Ze who knew what this place was wisely shut his mouth. For some reason, he felt that it would be dangerous to let his uncle know that this Shen Ji Yun's island. Su Yuqi, who also knew about the place, didn't say anything.

Shen Ji Yun's daydreaming was quickly cut off because of Uncle Tian's question. He was contemplating whether to tell the truth or not when the duke asked the name of the island. He sweated a bit, thinking that Luo Yan would say that it was his island. Instead, what he heard was;

"Let's just call it 'Adorable Cinnamon Roll's Island'."
