Chapter 1296


    After the yers picked their spots, the mechanical voice echoed again:


    “Please, yers, insert your invitations into the operating console for identity confirmation.”


    Two small slots appeared on the tabletop, popping out the control panel. Robin stared at the console,


    hesitating.


    “yers, insert your invitations within five seconds. Those who fail to do so will be executed.”


    “Damn it.” Robin muttered under his breath before taking out his golden leaf, and inserting it into the


    console.


    “yer Dunce, confirmed.”


    “Snort-”


    Scarface Man, sitting next to him, heard his codename and instantly burst into fits ofughter.


    “Hahaha, did you piss off the inviter? They gave you the codename ‘Dunce’, it’s quite fitting, isn’t it?”


    Robin clenched his fists, ring deathly at Scarface Man, who wasughing until his stomach hurt.


    “Shut up!”


    Whether it was hitting Scarface Man’s funny bone or what, he just couldn’t stopughing.


    “Your inviter is 1-4, mine too. Look at the codename he gave me, Scarface, it sounds so cool. Yours, on


    the other hand, is just too stupid.”


    Furious, Robin raised a fist and charged at him. Scarface Man quickly retreated a step.


    “Whoa, whoa, I’ll stopughing.”


    Scarface Man raised his hands in surrender, and only then did Robin, holding back his surging anger,


    turned back to the console.


    He thought, “1-4, if I ever find you, I’ll tear you limb from limb, I swear!”


    Eleanor nced cautiously at Robin, not so much worried that he would drop dead from anger due to


    the nickname.

    Rather, she didn’t expect them to jumpstart the game right after exining the rules. She had no idea


    how long it would take, or if Robin could keep his cool.


    However, the infuriated Robin had long forgotten about needing to use the restroom. Now, he just


    couldn’t wait to find 1-4 and give him a piece of his mind. As they each harbored their own thoughts,


    the mechanical voice in the fourth space echoed again:


    “yers, before the first round of the game begins, we will announce the win-loss mechanism.”


    “Rewards of the first round: Option one, 50 million dors. Option two, a night of debauchery.”


    As the electronic voice yed, the sleek table surface morphed into a screen, disying cash and a


    video of a burlesque show.


    Eleanor didn’t understand what ‘a night of debauchery’ meant. Upon seeing the images on the screen,


    she quickly averted her eyes and looked at Robin, who was staring nkly at the scantily-d women


    dancing on horseback. Judging by his expression, he seemed indifferent.


    Scarface Man, on the other hand, was just as excited as the other men in the game room, whistling


    appreciatively. Only Eleanor was ufortable and lowered


    her head.


    “Am I the only female yer here?” Eleanor asked.


    “If you winter and don’t want to y with the ‘night of debauchery’ prize, you can choose the cash.”


    Before Robin could answer Eleanor’s question, Scarface Man had already interjected.


    “How do you know I’ll win?”


    Eleanor couldn’t help asking Scarface Man. He shrugged nonchntly. “Just a hunch.”


    As she suspiciously eyed Scarface Man, the images on the screen disappeared, slowly reced by


    others. At the same time, the electronic voice started again.


    “The punishment for the first round will be carried out by our Robo Blue, who will sever a yer’s arm.”


    The screen disyed Robo Blue swiftly tearing off a yer’s arm.


    Eleanor shifted her gaze from the screen to the red door opposite the table. So, this was the so-called


    life door and death door.


    If any of them chose wrongly, the robot behind the red door woulde out and remove their arms.


    Only at this moment did the yers start to feel the tension.


    However, Area Opaca didn’t give any of the yers a chance to catch their breath and started the


    game directly.


    “Area Opaca’s fourth floor, Seniors’ Space, first round officially starts.”


    After the mechanical voice finished, the screen on the table faded, and four ck square boxes popped


    out.


    “The question for the first round: Which box has the apple in it?”


    “yers, please make your choice and confirm by pressing the number key.”


    “Those who fail to make a choice within five minutes will automatically enter the death door.”


    So, not choosing also meant death. yers who heard the rules clearly all stepped forward and stared


    at the boxes.


    The number keys were on top of the ck boxes. After making their choices, they just needed to press


    the corresponding number key to confirm.


    The game room was filled with the ticking sound of the countdown after the game started.


    Under this pressing atmosphere, everyone started to be cautious.


    Simultaneously, in the backstage viewing area, the mechanical voice also echoed:


    “Inviters from both sides, please start betting.”


    Men in ck sitting on luxurious sofas each picked up their own betting tablets, cing bets for their


    invited yers.


    After Mr. Quartus ced his bets for his invited yers ‘Dunce’ and ‘Scarface’, he turned his gaze to


    the seat of 2-9.


    Mr. Nine, sitting upright on the sofa, didn’t move at all, just staring intently at the screen.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Mr. Quartus stared at his back for a moment, then slowly shifted his gaze back to therge screen.
