"W-What's that sound?" Bai Xue'er snatched the axe from Xia Linyin's hand and held it to her chest.
The screams were so pitiful, as if the person was enduring immense pain.
"Other players! It's other players shouting!"
Earlier, when the camera panned through the corridor, it showed scenes on both sides, including other rooms besides theirs.
Presumably, there are other players locked up in other rooms, facing the same situation as them.
Some players have already started taking action!
Xia Linyin glanced at the TV; the giant python was getting closer and closer to the elevator!
If we don't escape now, it will be too late!
You won't be able to leave later!
Xia Linyin took a few more deep breaths. She was still wearing the same tracksuit she had worn at the Grand Hotel.
Taking off her coat, Xia Linyin stuffed the sleeve into her mouth and bit down hard on the fabric. She reached out her hand to Bai Xue'er, her brows furrowed in determination.
Bai Xueer handed the axe to Xia Linyin. She covered her eyes, buried her face between her knees, and was filled with fear. Was she going to cut off her own hand like Xia Linyin did?
"one two three!"
After silently repeating the command three times in her mind, Xia Linyin raised the axe and chopped down at her own wrist!
"Bang!"
The iron gate was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.
Xia Linyin flicked her wrist, and the axe slammed heavily into the iron chain, sending a few sparks flying to the ground.
Sweat trickled down Xia Linyin's forehead and into her eyes. She blinked her sore eyes and looked up at the person who had come.
She wore a black uniform with shimmering epaulets on her shoulders, and her long, straight legs were encased in black leather boots.
His jet-black hair was scattered in front of his eyes, and a long strip of cloth was wrapped diagonally around his head to cover one eye, with blood seeping through the cloth.
The dark red blood seeped through the strips of cloth and slid down his fair and smooth cheeks, creating an eerie beauty.
Deep, penetrating eyes; a smooth, graceful jawline; a refined, high-bridged nose—it's that man!
It's that man in the black jacket from the previous game!
Su Jinyan had said that the player assignments in each game were random. She had been in two games with Bai Xueer in a row, which was already fate. She never expected to meet this man again!
Xia Linyin looked at him in surprise, "Hey! Do you remember me? You saved me in the last game."
Xia Linyin looked at him expectantly. After all, she had worn heavy makeup in the previous game, to the point that she was almost unrecognizable to herself, while now she was completely bare-faced.
The man's crimson lips slowly curved into a smile, his eyes holding an unfathomable light, and he parted his thin lips slightly: "Of course I remember."
The black boots clattered on the ground, and the man, carrying a heavy chainsaw, walked up to Xia Linyin and suddenly pulled the chainsaw.
The roaring sound filled the room, deafeningly loud.
Xia Linyin stared intently at the man, feeling that the man holding the chainsaw was incredibly cool at this moment!
No wonder some people like playing the uniform fetish game, it's cool! Absolutely so cool!
He looked especially cool when he used a chainsaw to cut the chain!
"Thank you! Thank you so much! You came just in time! I almost chopped off my own hand!" Xia Linyin said gratefully as she stood up.
"Me too! Me too!" Bai Xue'er looked at the man expectantly and said anxiously.
But the man only gave her a long, lingering look.
What does this mean? This man isn't planning to abandon her, is he?! Why should he?! Why did he save Xia Linyin but not her?!
But for some reason, Bai Xueer had a deep-seated fear of men, especially their eyes, which seemed like the eyes of a demon, capable of chilling one to the bone with just a glance.
Bai Xueer had no choice but to turn her pleading gaze to Xia Linyin.
Xia Linyin looked at the man, who smiled and then raised the chainsaw.
For a moment, Bai Xueer thought the man would bring the chainsaw down on her, but thankfully, that terrible thing didn't happen.
The chainsaw snapped with a "click," and Bai Xueer breathed a sigh of relief, but a cold sweat broke out on her back, and her fear of men deepened.
After sawing through the chain, the three quickly left the room, rushing down the corridor to the basement.
A sudden sharp pain shot through my palm.
"Dear player, you can choose one item from the table to take away. Remember, only one. Greedy people will not have a good ending."
The dimly lit basement was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual items. In the middle of the open space, there was a table with nine old and quaint boxes on it.
All nine boxes had been opened. From left to right, the first box contained a palm-sized straw doll, with a line of red words carved on the bottom: "You are the scarecrow's friend."
The second box contained a luscious red apple, and the bottom of the box was inscribed with the words: "You are a friend of the witch."
A witch? The witch must refer to the woman in the black robe with her face covered in black symbols.
The third box contained a metal ball, exactly the same as the one held by the man with serrated teeth stuck in his head. The bottom of the box was engraved with the words: "You are a friend of the Lord of Hell."
The fourth box was empty, with only a line of red text left: "You are a friend of the python."
It seems that the contents of this box have already been taken by other players.
The fifth box contained a silver cross pendant that read, "You are a friend of the werewolves."
The sixth box contained a very exquisite and beautiful music box—"You are the friend of the faceless ballerina."
The seventh box contained a diary that read, "You are a friend of the Zombie Buckner family."
The eighth box contained a bloody severed finger—"You are a friend of the cannibals."
The ninth box contained a power bank, and the bottom of the box read: "You are a friend of the robot killer."
"If we take something, does that mean the monster becomes our friend and will protect us?"
Bai Xueer looked excitedly at the things on the table, but she regretted that she could only take one thing with her. If possible, she would like to take everything in the box with her.
But she didn't dare to actually do that. The game rules said she could only take one item with her, and the scene of the middle-aged man who disappeared in the last game because he didn't get on the bus was still vivid in her mind.
Obviously, it is absolutely forbidden to violate the rules.
Xia Linyin shook her head. She felt that it was impossible for the monster to protect her after she became its friend. At most, it would prevent the monster from killing her.
Otherwise, if some monsters want to protect the player and others want to kill the player, wouldn't the monsters start killing each other?
The game sets monsters as killers and players as survivors, which will inevitably lead to monsters chasing and killing players. The items in the chests can only allow players to choose one type of monster not to kill them.
