Chapter 69 Self-Sacrifice

Pain.

Pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.

Qi Xia gritted his teeth and squatted on the ground, groaning in pain.

He felt as if he really had some serious psychological problems.

Every time someone died around him, he would have a splitting headache.

What exactly caused this? Would it be like this whenever he saw a dead person?

No, Qi Xia had seen dead people several times in the game.

Not all people would give him a headache after death.

After a full half minute, Qi Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up again with an expressionless face.

The three people outside the door finally noticed the situation in the house.

They ran into the house to check, but found that Officer Li had died with a cigarette in his mouth.

Zhang Chenze covered his mouth, wanting to cry but not daring to make a sound.

"Damn..." She slowly walked to the corner, grabbed her hair and squatted down. The overly standard Mandarin she had spoken before had become a dialect at this moment, "What is going on... What are you doing..."

Her emotions seemed very unstable, as if she had been greatly stimulated.

Before Qi Xia could speak, the sound of a bell rang again in the distance.

"Ding"! !

Ringo and Lao Lu were startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

Although they didn't know what the bell sound meant, they had heard this sound many times when someone died.

Ringo calmed down, came to Lawyer Zhang, patted her shoulder gently, and then said, "Lawyer Zhang, you have to cheer up."

"How can I cheer up..." Lawyer Zhang raised her head with a haggard face, and her eyes were full of despair, "Officer Li died for me... to save me..."

"What happened?" Ringo held Lawyer Zhang's cold hand, "Don't suppress it in your heart at this time, tell me."

She seemed to know how to chat with people who were out of control, and just a few words made Lawyer Zhang relax her guard.

"It's all because of that rabbit..." Lawyer Zhang shook his head, "That crazy rabbit... She wanted to kill both of us... If it weren't for Officer Li, we would both have died... They are all crazy... They have no law in their eyes..."

Lawyer Zhang slowly recounted what happened after Qi Xia and others left.

The two's experiences were different from what Qi Xia had inferred. It was not Officer Li who discovered the game mode of this ghost place, but Lawyer Zhang.

After Qi Xia and the other four left, Lawyer Zhang decisively chatted with the minotaur opposite the convenience store.

As she said herself, she needed to collect enough information to make the right judgment.

After learning that the game in this place would not cost lives, but might win the "Tao", she explained the situation to Officer Li, Xiao Ran, and Doctor Zhao, but only Officer Li supported her view and decided to gamble with the only remaining "Tao".

This approach was strongly opposed by Xiao Ran. She knew that the "Tao" was the "chip" used to participate in the game, but she insisted on keeping the "Tao" with her. She would rather let this slight opportunity go to waste than allow it to be used for gambling.

Officer Li had been persuading Xiao Ran kindly because she was a weak woman, but Lawyer Zhang didn't indulge her.

After several clear logical and sharp arguments, she made Xiao Ran speechless.

After all, when it comes to "quarrels", how can a kindergarten teacher quarrel with a lawyer?

The game designed by "Human Bull" opposite the convenience store is a game that is as simple as it can be - obstacle race.

There are many waste tires and wooden high walls in the restaurant. As long as you can complete the track within the specified time, you can win two "Dao".

This game is almost tailor-made for Officer Li. He was originally from the police academy and often practiced obstacle races when he was a student. Although he has become a little rusty after so many years, it is still more than enough to complete the track within the specified time.

One "Dao" for the ticket, two "Dao" for the win.

Officer Li seemed to have found some loopholes. He participated three times in a row, and the "Dao" of the two became four.

It was not until he really had no physical strength that the two left the game venue.

This experience gave the two a lot of confidence. They thought they could collect enough "Tao" before meeting Qi Xia.

Later, they accidentally came to the "Human Rabbit" game venue.

It was an "escape" type game, and they thought the difficulty of this game would not be too great.

In a small room, the two were trapped in two corners of the room.

Lawyer Zhang was tied to a huge transparent fish tank, which was filling with water.

And Officer Li was handcuffed to the wall on the other side of the room.

He had only a wooden stick at hand.

Officer Li's handcuffs key was placed in Lawyer Zhang's fish tank.

And the switch for Lawyer Zhang's fish tank to fill with water was not far from Officer Li.

Both of them had ways to save each other.

But Lawyer Zhang was tied up with wire, and he couldn't untie the rope at all, nor could he throw the handcuffs key out of the fish tank.

Although Officer Li was very close to the water valve switch, his right hand was locked, and he was always two steps away from the water valve.

Neither of them could save the other in the first time.

How cruel is this game?

It is not an "escape" game at all, but a game that tests human nature from beginning to end.

It seems that both of them are trapped and need to escape separately, but if you think about it carefully, Officer Li's situation is completely different from Zhang Chenze's.

As time goes by, Zhang Chenze will definitely drown, but Officer Li will not.

He would be safe even if he stayed here for a day.

Zhang Chenze said without hesitation: "At that moment, I thought I was dead."

Next, Officer Li tried many methods to break free from the handcuffs.

It was not difficult for him to open ordinary handcuffs, but he didn't have any lock-picking tools at hand, and the only thing that worked was a wooden stick.

"Officer Li is really stupid..." Zhang Chenze sobbed and lowered his head, "Why didn't he throw the stick over and break the fish tank...? Instead, he broke his own..."

Qi Xia sighed helplessly after hearing this: "He has done ideological struggle."

"What?" Zhang Chenze raised his dull eyes, "You said this was the result of his careful consideration?"

"Yeah." Qi Xia nodded, "He should know that breaking the glass with a stick is not a wise choice."

"But he didn't even try..." Zhang Chenze started crying again, "He could obviously give it a try..."

"What happened after he tried it?" Qi Xia said, "If the wooden stick did not break the glass, but fell next to the fish tank... what would you do?"

Zhang Chenze choked up, Qi Xia's question hit the nail on the head.

If the wooden stick did not break the fish tank but fell far away, the two of them would have completely lost hope of escaping from there.

When Zhang Chenze looked shocked, Officer Li smashed his palm with the wooden stick.
