These tens of seconds, whether for the audience watching with bated breath, the brainstorming guests, or Jia Manyun, who regretted her impulsive risk-taking, felt incredibly prolonged.
Only Ming Ge, without any hint of panic, raised her wrist calmly, checked the time, and said, "There are still 54 seconds left."
She didn't rush to mock or urge Jia Manyun, instead waiting long enough that her reminder didn't even include an extra punctuation mark.
Calm and precise, she provided a concrete number.
Jia Manyun felt a slight panic in her heart. Although she had no idea what the Witch's Command was, her competitive spirit ultimately prevailed, and she secretly gritted her teeth and randomly pressed a few numbers on the keypad...
In the final moment, her fingertips trembled.
They fell.
"Beep, command incorrect."
"You have one last chance to input the Witch's Command. If incorrect again, the entrance will be permanently locked. Please use caution."
