At that very moment, the walls trapping Su Ze and Mr. Ya rapidly dissolved into vines and pulled away.
The vine wall, of course, retracted under Su Ze's control. He had deliberately trapped himself and Mr. Ya to create the illusion that they had been stuck there the entire time.
To keep Jasim and the others from growing suspicious, he had deliberately staggered the times the three walls opened so the three groups wouldn't all appear at the intersection simultaneously.
"Su Ze, you're still on the ship?" Gu Chengguang and his two companions asked in surprise when they saw Su Ze and Mr. Ya.
Su Ze gave a bitter smile. "We planned to leave right after we parted ways with you. But just as we reached the exit, the ship's main door shut on its own. We tried to turn back to find you, but then this wall suddenly appeared and blocked our path."
"What? The ship's main door is closed?!"
