Chapter 50.3 (1/2)

“Welcome to the third event – Underwater Chamber Escape.”

“Come and draw lots, my dear players! Same rules! Lucky players who draw the black ball will get an extremely thrilling underwater escape experience! The chamber escape in the amusement park is very special and can bring you a unique and unforgettable experience!”

“Underwater Chamber Escape?”

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but look at Tang Mianmian. They had obviously recalled the situation in the church in Daemon Town at the same time. Their legs couldn’t help but go soft at the thought.

“Underwater? No, no, no… I can’t!” The geek looked horrified. “I’m afraid of water. I can’t swim! I’ll drown! I mustn’t pick the black ball!”

Except for them, everyone else was numb and unbothered.

The draw began and the geek rushed up first.

While he was still drawing lots, his mouth kept mumbling the same phrase over and over again. Listening carefully, it seemed that he was repeating, “Bodhisattva bless. Buddha bless. Jade Emperor bless. God bless. Virgin Mary bless…” and so on. He prayed to all the deities over and over again.

Tang Mianmian looked at him with contempt and sneered, “It’s better to rely on yourself than God or Buddha…”

Although this geek’s luck had always been very good, which made him feel very envious, he really didn’t believe it. Was there really a king of luck who wouldn’t draw the black ball at all?

In the next second, the geek was done choosing. It was a red ball.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “I knew that my luck has always been very good. Looks like this time it’s pretty good as well.”

Tang Mianmian, “……”

Next, it was Tang Mianmian’s turn to draw lots.

He quickly mumbled a prayer. “Bodhisattva bless. Golden Boy and Jade Maiden bless, God of the Land bless. Jade Emperor bless. Heavenly Queen Mother bless. Heavenly Peach Tree bless…”

Then, he stretched out his hand confidently and got a black ball.

Tang Mianmian, “……”

Xiao Tangqiu gave Tang Mianmian a contemptuous look. What happened to relying on yourself rather than God or Buddha?

He wouldn’t beg anyone! He would only rely on himself!

He reached for a ball with a sneer, felt it and took it out…

Haha, indeed as expected, it was also a black ball.

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and almost cried. They really shouldn’t have hoped with their sort of luck!

As soon as the result of the draw came out, a few people were happy and a few were sad.

Although there weren’t any casualties in the first round, in the second round, four people died in one fell swoop. Plus the beautiful girl who had inexplicably gone missing, there were only nine people left now. They pulled out a total of four black balls.

In addition to Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian, there were also two people from the other side who drew the black ball. But compared to both their gloomy expressions, the other two were much calmer… or perhaps more numb.

The clown grinned and announced the results of the draw and the rules of the game. Finally, he gave a warning for the first time. “If you want to escape from the chamber of secrets, you must find the key. And you must find it before you drown! Let me give you a hint, the key is in the most dangerous place!”

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart sank. It looked like the underwater chamber escape event involved filling the chamber with water first. Then, they had to find the key to leave before the water reached the top of the chamber.

Although they had played this in countless horror games, playing with computers was definitely different from playing in person! After all, the main characters in the horror games had phenomenal physical strength while they wee just ordinary people… That’s not right, Tang Mianmian didn’t count. He was just an ordinary person!

However, things had come to this so they could only accept the situation. Under the instructions of the clown, they entered the venue of the third game. From outside, the underwater chamber was just a very ordinary house. It didn’t look mysterious at all but at first glance, there weren’t any windows, only a strong iron door.

When they walked into the house through the iron door, they were even more surprised to find that the house was decorated almost like an ordinary house, complete with furniture and warm decoration. There were tables, chairs, beds, wardrobes and even a vase of flowers on the table. At first glance, they thought they had accidentally broken into someone’s home.

However, if they looked carefully, they could still see some flaws. Although the furniture in the house was complete, they were a little shabby. Some chairs were missing the legs. Normally, such chairs wouldn’t be used anymore. However, the strangest thing was that all the furniture were fixed and couldn’t be moved. Generally speaking, only furniture on cruise ships would be fixed so as to prevent shaking.

This must be done to prevent the furniture from floating and colliding when flooding the chamber with water.

Of course, the vase of flowers was also fake. They were just lifelike plastic flowers.
