I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 1 Infinite Escape Game
Two light bulbs were half-lit, dark brown spots were crawling on the ceiling, and unknown red water marks were soaked all over it.

At this moment, the liquid dropped down along a slight arc, hitting the forehead of the girl lying flat on the iron bed.

The cold liquid fell on his head, and waves of chills meandered down his cheeks. Lin Yuan's eyelashes moved, and he suddenly opened his eyes, and his hand quickly wiped across the side of his face where the chill had creeped across it.

She lowered her eyes to look at her palm. The red liquid on her palm was twisting as if it had life, and she could faintly smell a light salty smell.

Memories before the coma flashed back like snowflakes.

……

Lin Yuan, 18 years old, is an ordinary patient in XH City Mental Hospital.

Suffering from a mental illness characterized by poor memory and intense aggression during bouts of illness.

After years of treatment, his condition improved and he was finally allowed to be discharged from the hospital.

Unfortunately, fate played a trick on her. On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Lin Yuan was standing on the sidewalk when an out-of-control truck appeared from nowhere and took her to the funeral on the spot.

The memory before death was exceptionally clear. The moment she lost consciousness, Lin Yuan recalled her short life and could only vaguely see a few familiar faces, probably her former family members.

Most of the subsequent scenes were spent in the cold ward.

Apart from the doctor, no one had ever come to see her, and her former family had avoided her like the very plague. Sadly, Lin Yuan couldn't even remember what she had done to make her family hate her so much.

Although the sudden car accident was a misfortune for me, it was definitely a relief for the couple who adopted me.

Lin Yuan still felt unwilling to die like that. His anger flared up, but was instantly suppressed by the self-control he had developed over the years.

[Pressure value: 40]

A piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind, and Lin Yuan stopped recalling, confused and puzzled.

...Pressure value, what is that?
She tried to sense it and found that the information was still there, and she could "see" the color of the information.

——The clear blue, the surging blue, inexplicably reminds people of the vast ocean.

She glanced around.

The room is ten square meters in size, with a narrow bed that can accommodate one person in the middle. The only door is tightly blocked by two iron chains. At the junction of the iron chains, there is a skull-shaped lock that is unusually conspicuous.

In the center of the skull, there is a keyhole that looks like a bullet hole.

……

I was already dead, so why was I able to appear in such a place unharmed?
Lin Yuan swallowed and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

There is no one else in this place except herself. Rather than waiting for someone to show up and tell her the answer, she prefers to explore and find a way out on her own.

The room seemed to be just a simple confinement cell. The floor was neat and clean. Apart from the narrow iron bed, there was only a locker taller than a person diagonally opposite the door.

Lin Yuan stood up from the bed. The bed made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if it would collapse at any moment.

She looked down at the rickety bed and the shaking iron legs, then looked away and slowly walked towards the locker.

The only thing worth exploring here is the locker.

It seemed that because of the stress level, Lin Yuan was now very calm. Whether it was surviving the car accident or suddenly being in an unfamiliar place, it was difficult to affect her emotions.

Because of her calm mood, even her steps were light and slow.

You can hear needle drops indoors.

"Hu-hu-"

A faint breathing sound reached her ears, and Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly. She stopped moving forward, moved to the side, bypassed the locker that blocked her view, and saw clearly the huge creature hiding behind it.

The agile body was covered with thick black hair, the sharp ears were tilted at a slightly angle, and a pair of deep red bloodthirsty pupils were staring at Lin Yuan.

The beast, which was almost as tall as Lin Yuan's waist, clenched its claws, bared its teeth, and growled at Lin Yuan.

When it raised its claws, a "ding-dang-dang" sound was heard, as if some mechanism that bound it was pulled.

Lin Yuan paused and made a quick judgment.

A beast that is ferocious enough to kill people.

Unfortunately, it can't get through.

The beast is strong and powerful, and still has the ability to hunt. In the confinement room where there is almost no way to escape, it hides behind a pile of debris and waits for its prey to fall into its trap.

Lin Yuan confronted it for a few seconds, but the other side did not take the initiative to attack.

Either they are injured and unable to move, or they are... imprisoned.

Lin Yuan tended to believe the latter. He lowered his eyes and saw that the beast's hind legs were tied with a chain, and the other end of the chain was connected to the ground.

The moment the guess was confirmed.

A panel appeared out of thin air in my consciousness, with light and shadows flowing and strings of text jumping around.

[Congratulations, you have become a player of the Infinite Escape game.] [You are currently at the entry level. If you pass the level successfully, you can unlock the "inherent talent" unique to each player.]

[Hint: Since you were the first to discover the only danger in the level, based on your performance, your current talent tendency is "Cautious/Calm." ]

[After clearing a level, the talent generated by your performance will be directly granted to you, and you can use it in any subsequent level. ]

【Games start! 】

With a heavy sound, the beast suddenly struggled violently, and the chains wrapped around its hind legs made a dripping sound.

The panel refreshes.

[Countdown to unlocking the chain: five minutes.]

[Please find a way to escape from the dark room before the countdown ends. ]

[Otherwise, the consequences are something you don’t want to see. ]

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, Lin Yuan focused his attention on "escaping from the dark room".

The only door of the confinement room was locked, and the skull lock seemed to be hinting to the player, who had not yet entered the game, to find the key.

Apart from the locker next to the beast, Lin Yuan really didn't see any other place more suitable for hiding the key.

She estimated the distance, avoided the beast's attack range, and ran to the locker.

When I opened the cabinet door, a flash of blood appeared before my eyes and my brain felt like it had been hit hard.

Lin Yuan's body swayed twice, his face turned pale, and veins were visible on the back of his hands that were tightly gripping the cabinet door.

The vision became bloody and Lin Yuan blinked hard, but the blood mist lingered.

——The blow is fake, but the pain is real.

what happened?

With a flash of inspiration, Lin Yuan's eyes slowly turned and he "saw" the pressure bar again.

[Pressure value: 50]

The previous stress value was outside the game panel, not only was it out of place, but the value also quietly rose to 50.

The color also changed from clear blue to bloody red, exactly the same red as in the field of vision.

A wave of irritation arose, and the next moment, she watched the stress value increase a little bit to 51.

"This thing is related to my state. When it turns red, my emotions and actions will be affected."

It is said that too much stress is not a good thing.

But now is not the time to relieve stress. Lin Yuan can only remain calm and start rummaging through the lockers, gradually adapting to the vision that seems to be filtered through a blood-red filter.

As the countdown passed, Lin Yuan felt his blood flow increase and his heartbeat gradually became louder.

Perhaps it was an illusion, the scene in front of me was slowing down, and even the beast that was staring at me was slowing down.

Lin Yuan's movement of rummaging through things paused, and just then an exquisite small box rolled down from the cabinet. At that moment, her movements were incredibly fast. She stretched out her hand and flipped the box, and it fell safely into her palm.

She realized that it wasn't the world around her that was slow, but the world in her eyes that was slow.

This change began with the appearance of blood mist.

Lin Yuan glanced at the stress bar and his mentality changed subtly.

She originally wanted to find the key quickly and leave, but maybe because she was under too much pressure, her thoughts changed.

She inexplicably felt that the thing that was growling at her deserved a beating.

The panel refreshes again.

[You are very lucky. You found the box in less than a minute.]

[Solve the puzzle on the box to get the key item to leave the dark room...]

"Why should I leave?"

【…? 】

Lin Yuan suddenly asked the question, and the panel froze.

A natural voice sounded: "It is it that is chained, not me. It is also it that is restricted in its movements, not me. I have the advantage, so why should I run?"

Lin Yuan put down the box and rushed to the iron bed to remove the already loose legs.

With the weapon in hand, he turned towards the beast.
