Chapter 1: Awaken (2/2)

【Our dearest selected candidate, Mr Luo Jian】

The first line simply confused Luo Jian What selected candidate? And the other side obviously knew his name and his identity, but he had no more time to think on that, he had to move on:

【You ret to inform you that I cannot tell you anyyou need to do at present time is find a way to leave this chamber within one hour Otherwise, you will be eliminated】

“What does that mean? What will be eli, he was baffled But the words regarding eli content :

【In order not to create a new hoive you a couple of hints:】

【First: ‘Within an hour’ started from the moment you opened your eyes and woke up There is an alar desk; you can use all the time from the twelve o’clock mark to the one o’clock mark】

【Second: The door is the only way you’ll be able to leave this chamber Don’t count on the , unless you wish to die】

【Third: This is not a joke】

【The aforementioned hints are over I wish you the best of luck! 】

There was only so ht piece of paper, but Luo Jian felt that it weighed a thousand pounds1 He took the note to the single writing desk in the room There was indeed a small, round alarm clock, the hour hand pointed in the 12 o’clock direction, and thein the direction of the nuht minutes had passed since he woke up

Leave this room within an hour; otherwise, be eliminated

“This is clearly a joke!” Luo Jian siht this was ridiculous, but the word ‘eliminated’ on the note made him feel uneasy He placed the note down and walked back to the door He pushed on the door again, but it still wouldn’t budge Luo Jian was getting flustered Regardless of whether the words on this note were true or false, escaping within an hour wasn’t thatconfined in such a tight, s

Luo Jian then lowered his head, and once again, he looked back at the door The door handle had a keyhole, indicating that it could be unlocked with a key He reckoned the possibility that someone locked the door from the outside If there was a key hidden soood If not, then Luo Jian must think of another way to open this door

Luo Jian returned to the desk; except for the s on top of the table, there were only a handful of books randomly piled on top of one another The book covers were very thick, but it fully strange that the books ritten in a foreign language He was unable to make any sense out of the densely packed words that rese nothing worth , conveniently placed it in the corner

The writing desk had four drawers, and the top ed it a bit and found it to be locked, so he gave up and immediately opened the second Inside was a notebook with a black jacket Luo Jian sorted through it and noticed that only the first few pages had words written on thee blank space He felt that it wouldn’t take e read: “My left side is a crooked reflection of the dead2” Luo Jian auto the words on this page, he subconsciously looked to his left There were only walls of white, but so traces of crimson brick

Luo Jian suddenly felt his blood run cold, then he opened up the next page, continuing to read, “The murderer buried hi! Luo Jian shook his head, and opened up the third page; he proceeded to read the next words aloud, “God! God will never forgiveof this?” Luo Jian couldn’t coe had two lines, and the second line ritten at the very botto words ritten in red: “I killed hie It was blank The fifth page Blank The sixth page Blank …He kept turning the pages until he eventually reached the last page, and he finally saw so, it was a distorted sentence: “Do you want to leave?” Then there was nothing left

“What kind of dog shi+t is this?!” Luo Jian was unbelievably confounded; these few sentences made him feel extremely vexed He threw the notebook onto the floor, and opened up the third drawer Inside were a pair of scissors, a wire, and a ballpoint pen Not bad If he were a thief who aced at lock-picking, he could’ve opened the door But unfortunately, he wasn’t

Afterwards, Luo Jian opened the final drawer Inside, there was an awl and…a gun Luo Jian’s soul flew out of his body and he stood lifeless for a un It was quite heavy in the palm of his hand, and from the quality of its structure, it was obviously not a fake or a un His hand that gripped the gun treun for a while, he dawdled a bit and then unloaded the azine, only to pause He only found one bullet inside

Why is there a gun here? Luo Jian quickly thought of this issue The domestic control of firearms was heavily strict Unless you were a police officer or an aruard, you still needed perun permit A firearm in this country was rarely seen around, and at this ht before his eyes Black in color, unrecognizable in model, and very much real
