Excessive ferocity due to caution

Zhao and his companion went down the path leading to the kitchen, while everyone in the hall simultaneously touched the weapons on their bodies.

They looked at each other, knowing exactly what was going on.

On the way to the kitchen, Guan Zhile began to mutter to himself:

"Please don't let it be the Ace of Hearts...please don't let it be the Ace of Hearts..."

Zhao Yi glanced at her:

What is the Ace of Hearts?

Guan Zhile's face appeared somewhat pale under the lamplight.

"The Ace of Hearts is..."

Before she could finish speaking, the lights in front of her suddenly flashed!

Guan Zhile cried out in a trembling voice:

"Oh no!"

"The Ace of Hearts!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yi saw a pale figure appear in front of him.

The other party was carrying a camera.

He slowly raised his hand, aiming it at the two of them.

Zhao Yi immediately sensed something was wrong. It felt as if countless swords and blades were surrounding him, and if he moved even slightly, he would be torn to pieces!

"Don't move!"

The two spoke at the same time.

Guan Zhile stared in astonishment.

"Zhao Yi, listen to me. When you go to the kitchen, you need to get a playing card—one of the four Aces!"

"Among them, the Ace of Hearts is the most dangerous!"

"The Ace of Spades is the most troublesome!"

"The Ace of Hearts is inside the photographer's hat!"

"Every now and then, it will turn around, and only then can we move. But if it points its camera at us and we move, we'll... be sealed inside its camera!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi looked down.

Good guy.

The baby fell asleep at just the right time.

Is there a fixed time pattern?

He asked Guan Zhile, who replied:

"no."

"We only have one minute!"

"It will have a total of ten seconds to turn its head within this minute."

"If we don't get the playing cards from it in one minute, it will take our picture!"

Zhao Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

The cameraman turned his head.

His movements weren't very fast, so Zhao Yi and the other man had time to react.

The real challenge... lies in the distance.

At a distance of nearly 80 meters, it would be almost impossible to rush across in ten seconds while constantly being on guard against the other party turning around!

Both of them charged forward.

Guan Zhile was tense and dared not rush too fast, while Zhao Yi ran wildly all the way, seemingly with no intention of stopping!

The two had run less than half the distance when the cameraman suddenly turned around!

Oops!

Instead of slamming on the brakes, Zhao Yi moved closer to the wall and inserted a scalpel horizontally into it.

Thus, due to the obstruction of external forces, he was brought to a sudden stop.

Watching the scene with Kwan Chi-leung afterwards made me break out in a cold sweat!

This guy... he's incredibly skilled and daring!

At that speed, a normal person would stop immediately, but due to inertia, they would inevitably take a few steps forward.

The cameraman only had one second to turn around.

A person running at full speed cannot stop in a second... unless they need external help!

The cameraman stared coldly at Zhao Yi for a long time before slowly turning around.

Zhao Yi sprinted away again!

The second time, he braked in the same way.

The cameraman seemed unwilling to give up.

But it has its own set of rules for operating.

But whether intentionally or unintentionally, a strange light flashed in its eyes.

When he turned his head for the third time, Zhao Yi did not run wildly as before.

He remained motionless.

Just as Guan Zhile behind him was about to tell Zhao Yi to cherish the time and rush over to get the playing cards, he saw the camera under the photographer's waist!

Suddenly, she broke out in a cold sweat!

That damn guy... he actually resorted to dirty tricks!

It turned its head, but didn't turn the camera around!

It was at this moment that she felt more and more that she had found the right person!

Zhao Yi may seem neurotic and unreliable on the surface, but he's actually incredibly meticulous!

Even under such circumstances, he was still able to keenly notice the cameraman's subtle movements at the first moment!

From a certain perspective, Zhao Yi's mentality and observation skills are truly terrifying!

The cameraman waited a little while to make sure the two weren't fooled, and then reluctantly moved the camera to the other side.

boom!

Zhao Yi charged forward in a whirlwind, hurling the scalpel in his hand!

puff!

This distance is the limit that Zhao Yi can aim at with his current strength.

It pierced the cameraman's fourth cervical vertebra with unerring accuracy!

The chaotic damage exploded.

Raiders have appeared.

The curse of aging is applied.

The cameraman wanted to turn around, but felt as if he had aged fifty years in an instant.

The movement was more than twice as slow.

It took me a long time to turn around.

The cameraman then discovered that only one woman remained behind him.

Where did the man and the baby go?

A moment of confusion flashed in its eyes.

until--

A warm hand reached out from behind and touched his neck.

My hands are warm.

But the knife was cold.

Its head fell to the ground.

The blood stained the tip of the knife with a striking red.

The playing cards were scattered to the side.

Zhao Yi squatted down and gently picked up the playing cards from the ground.

I flicked off the dust.

Then he picked up the camera from the ground.

Unfortunately, the system indicated that he could not use the camera.

boom!

Zhao Yi stabbed it.

The camera was shattered into pieces.

Guan Zhile walked over, his expression towards Zhao Yi quite complicated.

"You're really amazing..."

Zhao replied without looking up:

"The same to you."

"It seems... we didn't encounter a natural earthquake, but rather we've been drawn into some kind of 'game'."

Guan Zhile's throat moved slightly.

"Well... you'll have an answer soon."

"As long as you can survive."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

Holding the Ace of Hearts, he went to the iron door of the kitchen.

Swipe.

The door opened.

Inside, there were all sorts of foods.

Enough for two people to eat for three days!

"Next, we need to figure out how to get this food upstairs..."

Guan Zhile was somewhat troubled.

There is only one way to get upstairs.

It's the one in the lobby.

There were many hungry jackals in the hall, and they would never let the two of them leave with so much food!

Although no hotel guest would willingly commit murder, it does involve their authority.

However, it cannot be ruled out that some ruthless individuals might simply shoot them to break their arms and legs in order to steal their food!

Kwan Chi-leung has seen this kind of thing more than once.

"It's actually quite simple to get all the food up there."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

Guan Zhile, standing to the side, looked at his smile and inexplicably felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet...

PS:

Recent grades have declined.

It has a lot to do with my personal state of mind.

Most writers have one flaw.

The further I wrote the novel, the more confused I became.

This book was originally intended to be a lighthearted, enjoyable read, where readers could easily and effortlessly overcome challenges.

But as it has progressed, it has strayed quite a distance from its original purpose.

Sometimes, even when I'm writing, I wonder, what am I actually writing?

Has my storyline already turned into a bowl of soup without salt?

The more I think about it, the more confused I get.

I think this might be because I haven't been reading enough lately.

I need to read more books lately.

Okay, that's all for today. I'm going to do some live streaming, play some games, and tomorrow I'll read, summarize, reflect, and see if I can turn things around.
