Restarting the Escape Game as Max Level - Chapter 17

When the remaining eight players returned to the lobby, it was already past eleven o’clock at night. Ruan Qiao told others about the storage room she found. After getting the shovel from it, the Eternal Powerhouse and Yu Guang helped bury the body of Captain Justice under the lawn of the yard.

“I remember that at the beginning of the game, a strange voice mentioned the game in the daytime.” Wen Qing looked at Ruan Qiao and said, “Do you know what the game is? Why is it that people will die when they are tapped on the shoulder? What does that child mean by the light?”

“The big clock clearly didn’t tell the time last night, nor did it ring at ten or eleven o’clock tonight.” Su Xi leaned on the sofa with his slender legs beside her, and his expression looked a little leisurely: “It seems that the nine o’clock ring is the sign of the beginning of the game.”

“It was a game we used to play when we were young.” Ruan Qiao also did not hide her discoveries: “When the red light stops and the green light goes, ghosts will come to pat people on the shoulder, and they will die if they are patted. They cannot move or be patted at the red light.”

“Everyone enters a static state, and the last one who turns into a red light dies.” She spoke about how to save people again. “A person at the green light can turn a red light person back to the green light by patting the red light person on the shoulder and saying help.”

“Now that we know the rules, there should be no problem.” Little White Rabbit was relieved.

Yun Duo worried: “But we don’t know when the next game will start. Then another person will die.”

“Dong——”

“Ah!” The bell suddenly rang in the lobby, which made Little White Rabbit cry.

The clock struck twelve, which means midnight. With the last sound dissipating in this horrible haunted house, the dark blue light once again enveloped the lobby, and the candles on the table went out.

The little boy’s shrill voice echoed in the lobby again: “Red light, green light, white light.”

“Cross the street, be, very, careful.”

——

The death of Captain Justice was so tragic that no one wants to be the next out.

But at the rate of one death in three hours, nine people can only die for three nights.

Wen Qing looked at the boy who suddenly appeared and stepped forward: “Red light.”

The red light climbed from the bottom of his feet to Wen Qing’s face, and the little boy stopped moving in front of her.

After a while, he turned around. Because of this action, one arm fell to the ground.

Blood, flesh and bones wriggled from the broken point.

“Red is sa sa……safe?” Little White Rabbit, who was being watched by the little boy, said trembling, “Don’t kill me, don’t come here! I —— I also speak! Red light, red light! I said red light!

Little White Rabbit’s whole body was also covered with a layer of red light that suddenly appeared. She was so scared that her legs were weak that she wanted to sit down, but when she remembered that the red light was still and she could not move, she could only resist it.

The little boy turned his head and continued to look for the next target.

Ruan Qiao immediately ran upstairs from the other side of the stairs, with Yun Duo following her closely. Seeing Ruan Qiao go upstairs and searching everyone’s room, she wondered, “What are you looking for? Aren’t we supposed to run now?”

Ruan Qiao explained while looking, “There is an attic in this room, but so far we have not found any access to it. There must be a place that has not been found. If we wait to sit and die, we will not survive the fourth day.”

The two found the fourth room that nobody lived in. There was only one empty bed, but the space was smaller than the other rooms by half.

The sound downstairs from time to time has stopped.

Chen Si pushed open the door of the room and ran in, gasping, “All the others have entered a static state, and now there are only three of us. Yu Guang and the old man can’t stand on the stairs.”

Yun Duo turned around and saw the little boy standing by the wall staring at herself in dismay. She was so scared that she blurted out, “Red light!”

As soon as she spoke, her face turned white. She turned to look at Ruan Qiao, who was facing the door of the room: “Sister Mian, I…… I didn’t mean it. You two must hold on. If everyone stays still, another will die again.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t be the last person to enter the static state.” Chen Si stepped back and stood in front of the window with a blank face. He looked at Ruan Qiao as if he were looking at another dead person: “Red light.”

In the next moment, the blood red light enveloped her whole body.

“Chen Si! How can you be so selfish? Aren’t you hurting others?” Yun Duo said angrily.

Chen Si sneered, “Don’t tell me how noble you are. Are you really so scared? You just want to save yourself earlier.”

[Bullet screen] Isn’t that too much? She could have originally delayed a little.

[Bullet screen] It’s a survival game. Nobody is the Virgin. What’s wrong with playing tricks?

[Bullet screen] Survival of the fittest. Although it is not good to pit teammates, there is no way.

Yun Duo’s face changed slightly: “Sister Mianmian, don’t listen to her stir up discord. We are a group. Run quickly, as long as you can survive these three hours.”

Ruan Qiao looked at the corner where the little boy appeared before, and now there was no one.

She turned around and found the little boy standing in front of her.
