Chapter 141
Whatever you see?
But what can she see in this pitch-dark area? If she hadn't come here when the lights were bright, now that it's pitch dark, Yang Xinyao felt that she wouldn't even be able to find the place. If the scene were changed, no matter how bad your luck was, the worst you could do was bump your head and get scared by the imagination that came up in the dark. That would be it. But here, if you make a wrong move, you might lose your life. The corpses are either given to wild animals as food or thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Except for a very few people who know the truth, no one knows where you died or why you died...
"Xinyao, go see the outside world."
"Look at this cruel but real world."
"If you were an ordinary person, I hope you would never know this in your life. But you are not. Xinyao, you are a child of my Yang family. We will eventually retreat one day, and then this family will need you to take the helm."
"I know that there are very few things in this world that can be immortal, so I don't ask you to do anything. You just need to have a clear conscience and do your best."
"Xinyao, tell me your choice, go or not?"
Are you scared? That is inevitable. Nodding would mean that she would have to face a completely new world that she had never been exposed to before. Life is not a game that allows you to be fully prepared to fight your way from the novice village to the top of the world. Many choices always appear in front of you unexpectedly.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to nod.
"go!"
The Yang family is good at fortune-telling, but they rarely predict their own destiny. "The charm of destiny lies in its unknown nature." This is what Yang Xinyao's grandfather taught her since she was a child. She really listened to it and has always followed it. But before coming out this time, she couldn't help but want to take a peek.
However, what I saw in the mirror of the dressing table in the bedroom was a future shrouded in fog. However, this result was within her expectations, after all, there was the variable of Jing Ling.
The first time I went on a mission, I encountered an extremely difficult one. Since the day she agreed, Yang Xinyao has been constantly preparing herself mentally. Those so-called preparations seem ridiculous now. No matter how realistically they are shot, any film or TV work can never compare to what you experience with your own eyes. No matter how much Xu Shaohuai said before boarding the boat, when she saw with her own eyes the tragic scene of the wolf and the mercenary dying together in the video, with blood splattered everywhere and animal organs spilling all over the ground, her suppressed fear was finally awakened.
For a moment, she even wanted to escape, escape from this devil's habitat. But she quickly calmed down. She had no choice at all: either move forward or... die. Only the dead can leave this place before the game ends.
When there is no escape, there is no other choice but to face it.
But having said that, when I really face it, I still can't help but feel fear. Especially when all the lights went out, she just reached out to cover her mouth to prevent the scream from breaking through her throat.
Fear of the dark can almost be said to be an instinct of most people, and only a very small number of people can overcome it or enjoy it. There are many reasons. Going back many years, humans have not yet climbed to the top of the food chain, but night is the time when predators are active. Or maybe fear comes from the unknown, after all, people can't see anything in the dark...
Yang Xinyao tried desperately to find excuses for her cowardice until a whisper came from above her head.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and everything will be fine. All you need to do is stay quiet no matter what you see."
Yang Xinyao never thought that one day she would be easily appeased by someone else's words. The fearful heart seemed to be held up by a pair of gentle hands and placed in a box called security, where there was cool breeze and warm sunshine, and no disturbance from wind and rain.
The entire fourth floor was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of breathing. The lights in the corridor flickered, and the doors on both sides were either half-open or tightly closed. It was impossible to tell whether there was anyone inside based on the momentary light.
At the beginning of the game, Isaac's team became the most unfortunate. They were the first to rush up to draw lots, but they got the ball with the last number printed on it. The person in charge of drawing lots was the team captain. The moment he got the ball, this big man with golden curly hair widened his eyes for an instant, and he couldn't believe that he was so unlucky. The teammates next to him asked the female host desperately, are there any more numbers behind this? The answer is of course no. No matter how beautiful the female host is or how alluring her voice is, it cannot change this cruel fact. But there is a saying that goes, happiness is built on the suffering of others. Isaac's team firmly sat on the last place, and the others burst into laughter, full of malice.
Although the members of Isaac's team were unwilling, they were powerless to change anything and could only make room for the people behind them. After the draw, the participating teams entered the game venue in the order of the draw. Isaac's team could only watch everyone go in. When it was finally their turn, almost fifteen minutes had passed.
This is a game that requires both strength and luck, neither of which can be missing. They considered themselves to be quite strong, but the fifteen-minute gap was enough for the first team to explore a lot of useful information, such as the planning of the area, places suitable for hiding or ambushing... too much. But it also varies from person to person. They were not able to participate in the first maze game, but they watched the entire live broadcast. The person wearing the fox and clown masks will inevitably attract attention as the final winner. Theresa, the captain of Isaac's team, had participated in two hunting games and had fought against the fox team before. She knew their strengths and weaknesses, so it was inevitable that she would pay more attention to them.
Because the accommodation is based on a lottery system, no one except the organizer knows where the other teams will live. Afterwards, the man wearing the clown mask drew first place again, and everyone's eyes fell on them. Although they had never fought each other, most of the people present had good eyesight. Needless to say, they had seen the skills of the Fox and the Clown with their own eyes. But this was the first time I met the remaining three members of the team. It's hard to tell what the man with the knife is like, but the woman wearing the thorny rose mask and the man wearing the ordinary blue mask look like ordinary people. His steps were weak, his breathing was uneven, and his whole body was full of flaws. He was even worse than a soldier who had just joined the battlefield!
What on earth was the fox thinking? Even if you can't find anyone, you don't have to bring two ordinary people to make up the number, right?
Not only Isaac's team thought so, but the other teams present probably thought the same way. But what if I can’t figure it out? It didn't stop them from being secretly happy. Bringing two ordinary people to such a place was tantamount to seeking death. It's just an ordinary game. If you encounter such a warm-hearted team, you can be happy for a long time, let alone such a cruel game.
After Isaac's team entered the game venue, the metal door behind them closed silently. To turn it on again, you need to wait until the game is over. As the least fortunate ones at the beginning, it stands to reason that they will not be treated well. The moment all the lights went out, their team was still in the corridor.
It is not a good situation when the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so they need to avoid it. However, it is also not a wise choice to rush into a room without any lighting.
Just as they were being cautious and hesitant, they heard a bang and the door in front of them suddenly closed. Perhaps it was the wind, or perhaps it was human error, but whatever the reason, the movement was particularly obvious in the darkness.
Can't stay in this place for long!
Theresa gritted her teeth and asked the team to turn to the side.
There is a cinema on the fourth floor, which is very suitable for defense. This is something that several teams that have participated in the game know. He hadn't originally planned to go there, but he didn't expect the rules to be changed this year, damn lights out! Instead of being a target in the corridor, guarding against enemies that may rush out from any door, it is better to give it a try.
He led the team forward cautiously.
Suddenly, a mournful song came from afar, a creepy female voice humming incomprehensible lyrics.
It was as if he was seeing someone off.
