Excessive ferocity due to caution

Time passed quickly.

All the actors trapped in the room were terrified.

Because they tacitly chose the third option.

The moment they saw the third option, these people basically understood that they couldn't save their hands.

A cold, silent room; a painful choice; and that damn... light.

Under the triple shock, many actors began to experience mental health issues.

"What the hell is this game?!"

"You think you're filming Saw?! Ugh!!"

"Is this interesting?"

"That's it?!"

Some people were smashing and looting wildly, letting out desperate screams, their eyes bloodshot.

Unfortunately, their madness did not make their situation any better.

The bright red light remained as still as stagnant water, like a pair of merciless eyes mocking their weakness and plight.

"bring it on!"

"bring it on!!"

"Damn it!!"

"It's just cutting off a hand, isn't it?"

"Let's chop them down together, you bastard!!"

Under this stimulation, many people in the room burst into laughter!

Among the few remaining actors who were still conscious, there was a pair of old acquaintances whom Zhao Yi knew—

Zong Haisheng and Liao Hongqiao.

The two lovers, now separated in the empty room, were also consumed by despair.

Zong Haisheng's room was littered with mess.

This suggests that he had also vented his anger not long ago.

At this moment, Zong Haisheng sat in a corner of the room, curled up, panting heavily.

His eyes were also red.

In another corner of the room was his task panel.

The third option above has been enabled.

But he didn't choose it.

He also chose to cut his finger.

My left hand... only has two fingers left.

The ground was covered with congealed blood.

Zong Haisheng was filled with fear and anger.

The source of this emotion is... self-imprisonment.

He also wanted to choose the third option to attack the people in the room behind him, so that he would feel less like he was at a disadvantage.

After all, those in front of you are attacking you, and those behind you are attacking those even further back. If you just silently endure everything without fighting back, you'll look like a coward, like a... coward.

But Zong Haisheng dared not choose option three.

He is afraid.

He was afraid that Miss Liao was in the room behind his.

Although the chances are very small... there is still a chance, isn't there?

So he chose to cut off his own finger.

"Next room, let's skip option three..."

Zong Haisheng closed his eyes, looking exhausted.

Even if I look at it, I won't choose it. In that case, I might as well not look at it at all.

"Miss Liao..."

"How are you……"

Zong Haisheng felt a tightness in his chest. Whenever he thought of Liao Hongqiao cutting off his own fingers or severing his own hands because of the people in the room in front of him, he felt a fire burning in his chest.

Immediately following was a strong sense of powerlessness.

The person he loves is being hurt, but there's nothing he can do about it.

...

The mission in the third room ended quickly.

On the projection screen, a settlement was displayed.

No one was eliminated.

But almost everyone has to cut off their own palm.

Except for a very few people.

Zhao Yi was among them.

Standing in his room, looking at his inventory as "nothing," he was certain that his second conjecture had been verified.

The liquidation related to option 3 on them... did not come from the choices made by the players in the previous room at all.

Instead, it was their own room.

Whether you choose the third option or not, once you've looked at that option, you'll eventually get a clear answer.

As stated at the very beginning of that choice... it is a rope that pulls players into the abyss.

Once the rope is around your body, it's not easy to get it off.

Upon entering the fourth room, the light in front of Zhao Yi suddenly turned green again.

There was no vibration.

This means that no one was eliminated, and the order of the rooms remained unchanged.

As for the mission... it remains the same, focusing on deeper levels of pain and torment.

Zhao Yi checked the tasks on the panel, immediately went to the wooden table in the task area, took out a few embroidery needles, and slowly inserted them into the gap between his fingernails and flesh...

The sharp needle pierced the skin and flesh without any resistance and continued to penetrate deeper.

Compared to cutting off a finger, this pain lasts longer and is more intense.

Zhao, expressionless, inserted the first needle, then picked up the second and continued piercing...

He stopped when three embroidery needles were stuck in the nail of his left thumb. He took a deep breath and waited for his heart rate to adjust a little before grabbing the ends of the three needles and prying them up hard!

Chi-

And just like that, the fingernail was completely flipped up.

Bleeding ceaselessly.

Zhao Yi tried to take deep breaths to suppress his rapid heartbeat.

The more normal his heart rate, the less stress his body will experience, and the safer he will be when facing pain.

When the pain reaches the limit that an ordinary body can withstand, the body will produce a self-protective mechanism, such as fainting.

It would be too tragic if you fainted due to excessive pain, causing you to fail to complete the task within the time limit and be eliminated.

In fact, some players in the room had already fainted from the excruciating pain.

Next, he used the same method to peel off the nails of the other two fingers.

After getting used to the pain, Zhao Yi helped himself stop the bleeding.

This is the requirement for mission one in the fourth room.

As for task 2, you have to cut off your own tongue.

Unsure of what challenges lay ahead, Zhao Yi did not choose to complete Task 2, because the blood vessels on the tongue were too dense, and cutting off the tongue would result in a significant loss of blood.

If the game involves physical stamina later on, it will make him appear passive.

The green light made his face look very serious.

As for the third option, it was invisible to all game participants under the green light.

A relatively peaceful room.

This brought a sigh of relief to almost all the participants.

At least, in this room filled with green light, they didn't have to worry about the people in the previous room trying to harm them.

After all, judging from the third option in the first two rooms, the severity of the third option is definitely no less than that of the first two.

After smoothly navigating the fourth room, the players entered the fifth room.

Except for a few people who faint from pain.

They have been eliminated.

The room shook again, and the green light turned red amidst the terror of most people!

"Why is it red light again..."

Zhang Xinzhi, who was in the room in front of Zhao Yi, was completely stunned and was shaking all over, unable to stop!

After the rooms were rearranged, the players returned to the mission area, only to find that this time the mission... had become quite complicated.

P.S.: The second update will be posted soon; I have to go out to do *that* again tonight.

It's so cold~
