Looking at Jian Zhizhen's long, slender, and fair legs, Qin Yubai thought that sitting on them might not be so bad.
But the situation is critical, and it's happening in front of so many people...
He reluctantly declined, saying, "Maybe next time."
Just as Qin Yubai finished speaking, the thing around his neck made a "click" sound.
The neck ring had actually opened.
Qin Yubai took off the neck ring and casually threw it onto the pile of stones next to him.
Jian Zhizhen slowly opened her eyes wide, looking at him in surprise: "You can't even see the lock around your neck, how did you manage to unlock it?"
Qin Yubai lowered his eyes to look at her and explained slowly, "There is a small piece of stainless steel on each of the neck ring buckles, which can show the lock on my neck."
His reminder made Jian Zhizhen realize it too.
The latch area looks like a small mirror.
No wonder Qin Yubai kept following those people walking around; he was looking in the mirror.
Qin Yubai bent down, approached Jian Zhizhen, and unfastened the clasp around her neck.
He was just worried that something might happen, so he tried his own lock first.
Only after confirming there were no unexpected issues did they unlock the door for Jian Zhizhen.
As he unlocked the door, he explained to Chien Chih-chen, "Then it's the usual procedure: insert the chip and unlock the password. The difficulty is that with the device hanging around my neck, it's really not easy to operate, so I'm slower than usual."
He could see the one on Jian Zhizhen's neck clearly, and unlocked it much faster.
In less than half a minute, the latch was released.
Seeing that both of them had successfully rescued themselves, many viewers sent targeted gifts to the two guests to celebrate their safety.
But there were still people who enjoyed the spectacle and thought it was going to get even bigger:
[This is so ridiculous! In such a brutal slaughterhouse, people have their neck collars removed and nobody cares? If I were in the enforcement team, I'd put the collars back on them! I hate people who think they can do things their own way!]
There are quite a few people like this.
Seeing that Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen escaped danger so easily, and failing to satisfy their desire to see killing and violence, they kept questioning whether the show was pre-recorded in a studio in order to make Jian Zhizhen famous.
However, there were still more kind-hearted viewers who were all hoping for the guests' safety.
[But the upper class in this timeline didn't actually aim to kill; they seemed to only want to punish people. At the same time, they also gave people a chance to live. Those who survived for three days through physical endurance, and those like Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai who won through intellect, are all remarkable.]
Perhaps the upper class exists to attract talent and help them build a more perfect society?
[While I don't know what the upper class is, it's certainly not some low-level killing spree. Otherwise, why bring people all this way here to be punished? They could just kill whoever is a zero on the spot.]
[No matter what, as human beings, we should all have some level of empathy, right? Those malicious haters who hope for trouble for the guests are really suited to be sent to this timeline. Let's see how long you can survive.]
After both of them regained their freedom, Jian Zhizhen stood up from her wheelchair.
Just as they were about to discuss their next plan with Qin Yubai, a weak woman slowly moved toward them.
The woman's voice was barely a whisper: "Please, please save me, I've held on for... two days, just a few more hours, I really can't hold on any longer..."
Jian Zhizhen looked at her.
This is a woman whose left leg is normal, but her right leg is sickly thin and weak, like a skinny bamboo pole. Her lips are chapped, and her cloudy eyes are bloodshot.
It's understandable that a person with a disability in one leg would have low productivity.
They're actually bringing them here to be punished too?
Jian Zhizhen frowned slightly, once again feeling that the system here was cruel.
She turned around and tugged at Qin Yubai's sleeve: "Bai Bai, unlocking it isn't difficult anyway, how about helping her?"
Qin Yubai nodded to Jian Zhizhen, then turned to look at the woman: "Okay, don't stop..."
Before he could finish speaking, a grown man suddenly rushed over from the side, shoved the disabled woman aside, and excitedly shouted to Qin Yubai, "Unlock it for me first, I really can't take it anymore, my legs are about to break!"
The disabled woman fell heavily to the ground, her face contorted in pain.
But her will to survive did not diminish. She remembered that she could not stop. She tried to stand up but could not, so she quickly started to support herself with her arms and crawl on the ground to keep changing positions.
Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen both focused their gazes on the woman, their expressions darkening.
When Qin Yubai ignored him, the burly adult man became anxious. He grabbed Qin Yubai's collar and threatened, "Unlock it for me now! Or I'll kill you!"
Qin Yubai stared at his face, calm and composed, and did nothing.
He gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and silently counted down: 3, 2, 1.
Bang--
The lock around the man's neck experienced a minor explosion.
Qin Yubai pulled Jian Zhizhen closer to him to prevent the blood from splattering on her and soiling her clothes.
The moment the explosion rang out, the man's neck was broken, but some skin was still stuck to his body.
His head slumped down, and his body fell heavily backward.
Jian Zhizhen peeked out from behind Qin Yubai, looked at the man on the ground, and then looked at Qin Yubai.
His profile was half-lit and half-shadowed in the afternoon sunlight, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Qin Yubai quickly noticed that Jian Zhizhen was staring at him, and his heart skipped a beat.
She didn't think he was cold-blooded just because he didn't help someone who was dying, did she?
"What's wrong?" He looked at Jian Zhizhen and asked nervously.
Jian Zhizhen shook his head and smiled gently: "It's nothing."
