Fucking Beauty In Escape Game - Chapter 15
In order not to attract the nurse’s attention, Bai Hua sat at their table. He originally wanted to sit next to Li Xi, but Li Xi rudely drove him away, so he had to sit opposite Duan Zhen.
“We accidentally discovered the elevator leading to the underground today. We thought there would be clues. Unexpectedly, after walking down, there was a dark corridor with an iron door at the end. It was obviously not locked, but we couldn’t push it open.” Bai Hua said the matter. Repeatedly: “We pushed the iron gate together for a while, and if we couldn’t push it open, we guessed if the conditions were not met, so we wanted to go back, unexpectedly…”
He paused for a moment: “Unexpectedly, our eyes suddenly went dark, and we fainted. When we woke up, there was one less person in the team.”
“How do you know that Bai Er is dead?” Duan Zhen asked.
“There is a connection between us.” Bai Hua said, pointing to his body: “I bought it in a store, and I can perceive the situation of other people.”
Richie blinked slightly.
There are a lot of technology-side things in the store, and they also absorbed a lot of magic-side things when they merged into their world. From Bai Hua’s description, this kind of contract obviously belongs to the magic side.
But in their world, there is no truly equal contract.
Thinking about it better, what they are bound to is a partner contract, but judging from the state of getting along, it is more like a master-servant contract.
The corners of his mouth lifted up, revealing a sarcastic smile.
This smile flashed by, but Bai Hua didn’t notice it, but continued: “The cause of Bai Er’s death is unknown, and the reason why that person let us go is also unclear.”
“That’s not what you said at the beginning.” Xia Qirong said in a strange way, “I remember clearly, you said that the iron gate is locked, it seems that you want us to find the way for you.”
Bai Hua lowered her head and said sincerely, “I was also obsessed with ghosts for a while. Now that I think about it, it’s better for everyone to complete the task together. There are more people and more strength than internal strife.”
What he said sounds good, but in fact, it is not sure whether the two teams are in the same position. Xia Qirong wanted to say more, but was stopped by Duan Zhen.
“We found Bai Er’s body in the back mountain.” Duan Zhen said coldly, “Buried with a pile of dead bones.”
Bai Hua was taken aback for a moment, she didn’t expect them to discover the loophole in his words because of this, she was a little annoyed in her heart, but her expression didn’t change on the surface, she just asked: “Did you find anything?”
“No trauma.” Duan Zhen said.
“Actually…” Li Xi finally couldn’t help interjecting: “Have you ever thought about unnatural events, such as magic?”
He tapped the table with his fingertips: “The cause of his death seems to have been directly sucked out of his soul by a necromancer.”
As if worried that they would not believe him, Li Xi added: “I once saw a necromancer in a dungeon, and many people died at that time, so I have a deep memory of this method.”
“Necromancer?” Duan Zhen frowned.
“Look at the background of this hospital, treating critically ill patients and changing their personalities drastically after being cured, a Necromancer can do that.” Li Xi said, he looked at Duan Zhen, his voice weakened: “I just provide a One possibility, and other reasons as well.”
“It is indeed possible.” Duan Zhen patted his hat-wearing head: “You provided a new idea, thank you.”
“No… You’re welcome.” Li Xi’s face quickly turned crimson.
If I knew Duan Zhen was going to touch his head, what kind of hat would he be wearing?
And the way Duan Zhen said thank you to him is also very charming.
Li Xi cooled his face with the back of his hand, and didn’t listen to a word of the discussion that followed. He muttered in a low voice, he was simply masculine and seductive, and he understood a little bit about those emperors who wanted beauties but not power.
It was the first time for Bai Hua to see them interacting so intimately, her hands were tightly clenched under the table, her nails sank into her palms.
At the end of lunch time, the nurse at the beginning came in, but this time, she did not rush them into the room, but took a few parts of the agreement, put it on the table in front of them, and said coldly: “Sign this agreement, Surgery starts tomorrow.”
“What if you don’t sign it?” Duan Zhen looked down at the thick pages.
“Your illness can only last until tonight. If you don’t sign the agreement, you will definitely die tonight.” The nurse continued.
“Sign the agreement, the operation will be performed tomorrow, if you don’t sign the agreement, you will die tonight, this agreement of yours can help us live for another night.” Xia Qirong complained.
The nurse ignored him with a dull voice: “The signing of this agreement is based on the principle of voluntariness.”
While they were talking, Li Xi picked up the agreement in front of him and quickly glanced at it.
The words on the thick stack of agreements were actually useless. He found out that it was a magic contract. The real content of the contract was written on the bottom layer with a magic potion, and it could only be seen by special means.
Li Xi covered the paper with magic power, and instantly knew the content of the contract.
This contract is even harsher than the so-called master-servant contract. As long as you sign your name on it, the other party can decide life and death in a single thought, and even the ownership of the soul will be actively given to the other party.
Using various methods to obtain souls has always been something that necromancers like to do, but this time, this method has actually played on his head.
Li Xi involuntarily squeezed the agreement harder, almost crumpling the paper.
He couldn’t imagine that if he didn’t come with Duan Zhen this time, and the other party was coaxed into signing the agreement, then the treasure he had finally found would be taken away by such despicable means.
Li Xi pursed his lips tightly, the atmosphere around him seemed to be frozen by his rare anger.
The breath belonging to the devil oppressed all the creatures in the space, but only bypassed the group of people in front of him.
“Li Xi?” After reading the agreement, Duan Zhen looked back to see him with his head lowered, his whole body seemed tense, and he walked over worriedly: “What’s the matter, are you feeling unwell?”
“…It’s okay.” Li Xi was silent for a while, then looked up at him.
After these two words came out, all his aura was put away, and he turned back into that soft and delicate little white flower.
He frowned, his red lips turned white, and his face was full of anxiety: “Don’t sign this agreement, it makes me feel bad.”
“If you just read the text, it seems nothing.” Bai Hua said.
“This kind of agreement is not normal no matter how you think about it.” Xia Qirong said quickly: “If you want to sign it, you sign it yourself, we won’t sign it anyway.”
Although he didn’t see anything wrong with the content of the agreement, but Li Xi’s psychic ability is very strong, of course he has to support his team members.
Bai Hua forced a smile: “I know I did something wrong before, but there’s no need to target me like this. I also want to pass the test, and no one wants to die here.”
Xia Qirong dragged the end of the sound and let out a strange oh.
“Then don’t sign it.” Duan Zhen put the agreement back on the table: “This kind of world is likely to be used if you sign your own name at will.”
If there is really a necromancer behind the scenes, don’t do such a stupid thing.
Duan Zhen’s team did not sign, and Bai Hua struggled for a long time, but did not sign.
The nurse didn’t respond to the result, she piled the agreements together and hugged them again: “It’s time for you to go back to your room.”
After speaking, she turned and left, not even intending to monitor them.
“Does this mean that we are ignored after confirming the date of death?” Xia Qirong said with a surprised face: “Our persona is a rich man who can afford the fee.”
“Let’s think about how to survive tonight.” Bai Hua said, he seemed a little impatient, biting his thumb: “The monsters couldn’t enter the room last night, it must be because we are still patients, tonight we all’ dead, but there is no ward to hide in.”
Duan Zhen glanced at Li Xi, seeing that the boy shrank back, and patted him on the shoulder: “Don’t be afraid.”
“I’m not afraid.” Li Xi whispered, leaning closer to Duan Zhen: “Brother Duan will protect me, and I will try my best not to hold back.”
His voice was weak, and he tried to puff his chest out to prove his words. Duan Zhen looked at him with a smile on his face.
“Since no one is watching, let’s continue to look for clues in the hospital.” Duan Zhen said: “It’s just an intermediate book, and there will be a way out.”
“Okay.” Li Xi said obediently.
Just now because he was too angry and accidentally spread the magic power, he already knew the location of the necromancer, and even made a small move. But it’s such a big deal, Clemens is likely to have found his trace, it’s better to leave this world as soon as possible…
But he always felt that Clemens might have been hiding and peeping here.
That race that lives in the dark wants to hide, no one can find him, so Li Xi only finds it tricky.
He sighed in distress, took a few steps quickly and grabbed Duan Zhen’s hand, boldly hugged the other’s arm directly, and looked over pitifully: “I’m a little scared, can I hold you like this, Brother Duan.”
The sound of Brother Duan was soft and sweet. Duan Zhen was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded calmly on the surface, and in the next second hastily shifted his gaze, staring at the front.
Sun Le, who was following behind them, showed a penetrating gaze.
