Chapter 1862: Chapter 1707: Escape Game 59
But now Chi Qing seems to be choking to death, unable to care for anything else, with no choice but to gamble on a long shot.
Shuangshuang directly invaded Chi Qing’s throat with Inner Strength, then dragged the bone plugging Chi Qing’s throat out.
During this process, Shuangshuang clearly felt a force opposing her, suppressing and preventing her from pushing the bone out of Chi Qing’s throat.
With a fierce determination, Shuangshuang forcibly pushed against that force, extracting the bone from Chi Qing’s throat. Chi Qing gagged and finally spat out the bone.
After spitting out the bone, Chi Qing collapsed to the ground, gasping heavily for a long time and coughing for quite a while. The bone spat out by Chi Qing carried some bloodstains, evidently having injured his throat.
"Sister Shuangshuang, I almost thought I was going to die," Chi Qing said, tears in his eyes from coughing as he clutched Shuangshuang’s sleeve, looking terrified and speaking in a hoarse voice.
Shuangshuang poured him a glass of water: "Drink some water and rinse your mouth. Your throat is injured, so it’s better to speak less.
It seems we need to be cautious when eating too. Eat small bites, drink little sips, and avoid eating things with bones, and fish bones are also very dangerous. Let’s not eat fish in the next couple of days to avoid the danger of fish bones."
As Shuangshuang spoke, Lin Yu had already started to work, tearing apart all the boned cooked dishes like roasted chicken, duck, and pig trotters, and throwing the bones into the trash bin.
During the meal, the three had to mimic the ancient etiquette of noblewomen, eating in small bites, sipping water, and only swallowing after chewing food dozens of times to ensure it doesn’t choke anyone.
As a result, after half an hour, the three with significant appetites were only half full, and Lin Yu rubbed his cheeks, sore from prolonged chewing.
Seeing Chi Qing also rubbing his cheeks, Lin Yu couldn’t help but complain: "I never knew eating could be so dangerous and such hard work. It made my cheeks ache."
Shuangshuang also experienced aching cheeks after the meal. She usually never chews gum and eats quickly, never having chewed this slowly and minutely before, feeling quite unadapted.
Just as Shuangshuang prepared to comfort Lin Yu, a sudden scream came from outside, and the instant reaction of Shuangshuang, Lin Yu, and Chi Qing was that another player met with an accident!
Shuangshuang stood up to open the door, seeing the room diagonally across theirs wide open, with a man lying on the ground face-up, while a woman beside him screamed in hysterical panic.
The man’s face was ash-blue, his eyes wide, but his pupils were already dilated. Clearly, this person was dead, and judging by his appearance, Shuangshuang suspected he had choked to death.
Shuangshuang recognized this man as one of the two players encountered when paying the fee earlier. Unexpectedly, Chi Qing didn’t choke to death, but this man unluckily did.
The woman accompanying him was somewhat breaking down, screaming continuously, but the hotel staff remained calm, showing no panic at all.
The hotel manager quickly reported the incident to the police, then instructed people to carry the deceased male player outside, leaving him outside the inn, without offering a room change to the screaming woman.
With sympathy for a fellow player, Shuangshuang advised the woman, who was still yelling, "You should calm down, otherwise you’ll die even faster."
The woman turned back with a strange look in her eyes, laughing: "No, everyone will die, all players entering Escape Killing Paradise will die.
I’m about to die, you will die too, you all will die! Hahaha, everyone will die! Everyone will die!"
Shuangshuang looked at the delirious woman and sighed. It seemed the stress was too much, causing her mental breakdown. Closing the door, Shuangshuang sat back at the table with Chi Qing and Lin Yu, who had come to check the situation.
Having just witnessed a dead player and another driven mad, none of the three felt much like eating, unsure if one of them might be next to die.
Chi Qing and Lin Yu held their chopsticks, stirring the cold self-heating rice before them, hesitant to take a bite.
Shuangshuang took a deep breath, picked up a piece of beef, and stuffed it into her mouth, saying to Lin Yu and Chi Qing: "Keep eating; without enough food, you’ll have no energy and can’t escape danger.
The dangers in this game are pervasive and unpredictable in form. When we sleep tonight, we shouldn’t sleep separately.
After eating, let’s all get to work clearing this living room of furniture, then lay down the blankets for sleeping on the floor, one person stays awake while two rest in rotation."
Chi Qing and Lin Yu nodded, steeling themselves to continue eating. Lin Yu, seeing the food was cold, prepared two more servings of self-heating rice and used a small hotpot to warm up the cold cooked food.
After finishing their meal, they tidied the trash and threw it out. The three began moving the furniture in the living room into other rooms and brought out blankets to lay on the floor.
While Shuangshuang and the others were laying out the blankets, they heard a loud noise from outside the inn, as if something had fallen from a great height.
Shuangshuang exchanged glances with Chi Qing and Lin Yu, saying, "You two keep setting up; I’ll go out to see what’s happening."
Shuangshuang went out and found that the earlier woman player had died, jumping from the top floor of the inn and killed in the fall, with blood spreading across the ground.
The woman’s wide-open eyes still seemed to retain a trace of madness, although her body was shattered, her lips curled in an inexplicable eerie smile.
Shuangshuang sighed, uncertain whether it was the game that killed the woman or if she succumbed to the pressure and ended herself. However, Shuangshuang witnessed the brutal harshness of the game.
It is said the game has an extremely high mortality rate, but in previous games, not many died. Though seemingly dangerous, there were many paths to escape.
In fact, neither Shuangshuang’s second nor third games had any fatalities, causing her to underestimate the danger and cruelty of the game.
But this game shattered Shuangshuang’s understanding. In this round, apart from herself, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu, all the other players encountered perished, an unprecedented death rate.
This high mortality also made Shuangshuang anxious, though she wasn’t too worried about personal danger.
Her current mastery of Martial Arts was Great Success, continuously cultivating Inner Strength with every breath, equating to constant growth of her skills.
However, Lin Yu and Chi Qing had practiced Martial Arts for far less time. Shuangshuang feared that a careless mistake might cause their deaths in this game, this concern causing involuntary anxiety.
