Chapter 126 Nighttime Rest He hated contact with others, especially...

"No... the old man never teaches anyone..."

The old man laughed awkwardly a few times, "Young people should have their own spirit and energy. Haha, look at this, he has the courage of a leader, he has the final say!"

"Little aunt... Leader, where did you say you were going?"

In the face of absolute strength, the old man was very sensible. He didn't care about age or experience and even called him "leader".

"Come with me."

Cecilia retracted the axe and turned away.

Although the old man had difficulty walking, he still tried to speed up as much as possible and followed Cecilia obediently.

"Press the button here, and don't move these ones."

She took the old man to the place where the man with dreadlocks hit the button, and marked the buttons that she and the teddy bear had pressed with red paint.

"Okay, okay, which one should I press first?"

Looking at the several buttons in front of him, the old man didn't dare to act rashly and looked at Cecilia in confusion.

"Whatever, it's up to you."

Hearing this, the old man's arm trembled as he pressed a random white button.

Boom.

The ceiling opens again, and a whole burger falls from above.

Sure enough, the predictions in the fortune-telling column were 100% fulfilled. Cancer has good luck, so he can get the desired result by pressing the button.

In this case, as long as they act according to the divination, they will be able to spend seven days safely.

"Leader, do you want to continue pressing this?"

Picking up the hamburger on the ground, the old man rubbed his hands and looked at Cecilia embarrassedly.

"etc."

After confirming the hamburger button, Cecilia took out some paint from the side and painted it a conspicuous orange color.

"alright."

She looked around at the walls and the densely packed buttons and felt a headache.

"At least we have food now, but we still lack drinking water."

Turning her attention to the old man, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Eat your burger first, and then cooperate with me to continue looking for water."

"The leader is right. I will definitely cooperate with him."

The old man had bad teeth, so he tore the top layer of bread with his hands and handed the tough-to-chew meat in the middle to the young man.

Under Cecilia's guidance, the old man was dragged around the room and pressed buttons everywhere.

Unfortunately, even with the good luck of Cancer, the entire room is still too large.

Under everyone's gaze, the old man pressed twelve buttons in succession, and then a bottle of mineral water dropped.

Cecia picked up the water bottle, unscrewed it, drank two sips, and then threw it to Wilbert next to her.

Her eyes swept over everyone present and she said in a cold voice: "From now on, no one is allowed to touch the button without my permission."

"Otherwise, you'll end up like him."

She turned her head and looked at the man with dreadlocks lying beside her.

The man with dreadlocks bumped into the wall twice and was almost injured internally. His internal organs were in pain. Now he could only barely support his body and looked at Cecilia viciously.

"You can't touch it either."

She said in a cold voice, stopping the old man who was eager to try, "Now we have food and water. As long as we are careful about the divination predictions, we can get through this room safely."

"...Excuse me, what shall we eat then?"

The short-haired girl stood up weakly. Although she looked timid, she was much better than the others. At least she was the only one who dared to fight for her rights.

"I'll make the overall distribution."

Cecia raised her hand and pressed the mineral water button a few times, then walked to the hamburger button and pressed each one a dozen times.

"Don't worry, you won't starve."

There are already a lot of things piled up in the room. Among the eleven buttons that the old man pressed just now, there are large pieces of furniture such as a double bed and a refrigerator.

Other scattered daily necessities were all piled together, so they didn't take up much space.

It's best to keep the status quo and not add any more furniture...

Cecilia pondered for a moment, lifted the double bed with all her strength, and moved it next to the hamburger button.

She found a box of chalk from the pile of junk and used white chalk to mark out an area next to the bed.

“This is my area.”

She held the teddy bear in one hand and Wilbert in the other.

"Everywhere else, you are free to move around. You can do whatever you want except touching the buttons."

She lay lazily on the double bed, relaxing her body for a rare moment.

"The fridge is filled with plenty of burgers and water. You can eat as much as you want as long as you don't waste anything. You can also use the things in the utility area as you like, just don't throw them all over the floor."

From a manager's perspective, the rules she set were very loose, with almost no constraints or restrictions.

However, human hearts are never satisfied.

With food and water, they wanted more, like a double bed beneath Cecia, more buttons at their fingertips, and the power to control everything…

Especially, a guy with dreadlocks huddled in the corner.

He already held a grudge against what had just happened, and Cecilia acted like a dictator, so he couldn't swallow this anger. He hid in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

"…But, but will I really die?"

The high school student was still thinking about the prophecy. She was so anxious that she ran to Cecia and knelt down with a thud.

"Sister, please, please save me! I know you are very powerful! I don't want to die yet!"

The girl pleaded with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful.

Although the content of divination in this room is the rules, divination is to avoid bad things from happening, and the predictions are generally not absolute.

It was a good opportunity to use him to test whether the divination could be broken. Besides, she didn't want to see the human population reduced...

"You stay with him."

Cecia pointed at the old man and said, "Since he is labeled as lucky, you may be able to escape if you follow him... What's your zodiac sign?"

"Scorpio! I'm a Scorpio!"

The high school student's eyes were full of earnestness.

Scorpio? The prophecy says that Scorpios should be careful of black things.

"Follow him and stay away from the black objects. You should be able to survive."

She instructed, pausing.

"You can also come to me when necessary."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

Hearing this, the high school student knelt down again, bowed again and again in gratitude, then stood up and followed the old man closely.

[Ding Dong, today's daylight hours have ended, and now it's time to rest at night. I repeat, today's daylight hours have ended...]

A pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in the room, and the speaker on the ceiling vibrated, reporting the current situation.

"Xia, looking at the situation, the first day is almost over. As long as we can hold on for another six days, we can move on to the next room!"

The teddy bear lay on Cecia's shoulder and analyzed excitedly, "That high school student is fine, it seems that the divination can be broken!"

"uncertain."

Cecia rubbed her fingers, "The night rest time may also be counted as the first day. If so, the night is the most difficult time for her."

"Everyone is asleep at night, what could go wrong?"

The teddy bear tilted its head, puzzled.

"There are always some restless ones..."

She was hinting at something, and at this moment the loudspeaker's announcement ended, the lights in the room gradually dimmed, and it was about to be night.

"Will, aren't you coming over?"

Looking at Wilbert standing beside the bed, Cecia raised her eyebrows and patted the empty space next to her.

The double bed was very large, and with only her and the teddy bear lying down, more than half of the space was still left.

"……Need not."

Wilbert's body stiffened and he refused coldly, "I'm not sleepy yet."

"Yeah?"

She raised the corners of her mouth playfully, her eyes falling on the dark circles under the other's eyes.

The pace in the dungeon was very fast, and players usually did not have enough time to rest. Moreover, the previous room was an illusion created by someone, which tortured Wilbert terribly.

I'm afraid the other party's mental state has already reached its limit, and he is only barely holding on with his willpower.

"Then you should come and stand guard. There are still some restless humans over there. I'm afraid they will attack at night."

"I'll stand here and guard it. No one can come over."

Wilbert held his ground and did not move an inch.

"Why, do you want me to come over and invite you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room turned off completely, and it was pitch dark all around.

There was a rustling sound, and his arm was pulled suddenly. He had no time to react and was pulled down onto the bed.

"Don't scream, it's me."

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and his mouth was covered by a warm palm.

“…Cheshia, what on earth do you want to do?”

The touch on his body made him feel uncomfortable. Due to his childhood experiences, he extremely hated contact with others, let alone such intimate physical contact.

"I asked you to keep watch at night, but you can't sleep."

Cecia's voice revealed innocence, "You're standing too far away from me. If something happens, I won't be able to take care of anything."

"You lie here and keep watch. It's close and you can rest. If you get sleepy, I can take your place. You sleep and I'll keep watch."

She always has a thousand reasons.

Wilbert sighed, and his tense body relaxed.

"...Get off me first."

The places where his skin touched felt like being showered with hot water. His body temperature was already low, but the scalding breath traveled all the way around his body, burning his cheeks.

"I'm afraid you'll run away."

Hearing his compromise, Cecilia stopped pestering him, rolled off him, and lay quietly beside him.

Even though the room held nine people, the night was still quiet.

In the silent environment, I could only hear the long breathing of the people around me. My originally highly tense nerves gradually relaxed, my consciousness became blurred, and I slowly fell into a deep sleep...

Bang!

The loud noise woke Cecilia from her dream. The heavy sound was like something falling from a high altitude.

Someone touched the button!

She immediately assessed the current situation, woke Wilbert up, got out of bed, and moved towards the place where the sound came from, holding the axe tightly in her hand.

"What is this thing..."

Low mumblings echoed in the room, coming from the same direction as the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

It sounds like that guy with dreadlocks?

He certainly wouldn't give up.

Because the surrounding environment was too dark and she couldn't see anything clearly, she raised her hand and created a balloon.

"You have excellent night vision, but can only see in complete darkness (F)."

Unexpectedly, the first balloon generated became the most frequently used one.

Cecia tied the balloon string to her hand, and her vision suddenly became clear.

Where the sound came from, the man with dreadlocks was squatting on the ground groping, holding a half-meter-long steel pipe in his hand.
