"Finally, we are back…hey, something is weird. Look at the sky. There is no countdown for game 8. It's about game 9…"
Clara immediately looked at the sky and noticed this change. She wanted to ask if she had miscounted the game rounds until now, but even she was not that clumsy.
Besides, the evidence of them having just finished round 7 was still on their screen.
"You are right. But we just finished round 7. What is going on? Andrew, do you know anything about this?"
Lilianna asked Andrew and he immediately opened his system to check. His best guess was that game 8 had started immediately after game 7 ended, so there was no countdown.
[Game 8: Long awaited-reunion.
Objective: Find and recover something from your past. Time: indefinite]
[Game 9 countdown started. Time remaining: 4 days 5 minutes]
"This is weird. This kind of game has never happened before…did something change?"
