Chapter 494: The Terminally Ill Heiress on Death Game Island (10)
This little difficulty couldn’t stop her.
Her tongue could no longer taste anything. However, she remained unfazed as she consumed a bowl of porridge and an egg, suppressing the urge to vomit.
"Is it uncomfortable?" Jing XiYuaan, sitting opposite her, noticed Qiann Yan looking worse and quickly handed her some water.
Qiann Yan drank a bit of water and felt somewhat better.
"It’s okay."
Xuaan Yuee had been observing Qiann Yan and suddenly remarked, "Maybe you won’t live that long, you’re the lucky one."
Neither Jing XiYuaan nor Lu Shanyang liked hearing this, but they didn’t argue.
They had just arrived and didn’t want to provoke an old player like Xuaan Yuee for the time being.
Fang Qing agreed with Xuaan Yuee’s words; Ling Qianyan was already going to die, so she was naturally lucky. The miserable ones were those like them who didn’t have a terminal illness but were forced to participate in the death game.
The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. She would rather always be inferior to Ling Qianyan than be in this hellish place.
Beep! Nine o’clock had arrived.
At the same time, the familiar mechanical voice sounded: "Good morning, players!"
"The game begins."
Following the voice, the dining hall suddenly quieted down, as if even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
Even the usually grinning Xuaan Yuee became serious.
Though she knew the morning time belonged to the newbie players, whenever she heard the four words "the game begins," she instinctively felt fear, completely losing her previous ease.
The longer she stayed here, the more afraid of death she became, and the more she wanted to leave, preferably with a fortune.
In the quiet dining hall, a sound suddenly appeared, as if flipping countless playing cards, speeding up faster and faster, causing cold sweat to break out on many foreheads, with no appetite left for food.
About ten seconds later, the sound stopped as abruptly as it had started.
"Player R64, please arrive at the game venue within five minutes to participate in the game; missing the time will result in a breach of agreement penalty."
Everyone in the dining hall turned to look at the person whose number was flashing red; Qiann Yan’s gaze also fell on this person, R64, which was Jing XiYuaan’s number.
Jing XiYuaan remained fairly composed: "Let’s go."
At that moment, an unmanned vehicle drove over from afar, clearly here to pick them up.
Jing XiYuaan and Qiann Yan got in the car, followed by the tense-faced Lu Shanyang and the pale-faced Fang Qing, with none of them overthinking anything at this point.
Even knowing there would be no danger within seven days, they were still scared.
A minute later, Jing XiYuaan was already standing at the challenge spot.
Qiann Yan, Lu Shanyang, and Fang Qing stood just behind the three cages, able to see everything inside from their positions.
Above the cages, there was a small window, visible only to them.
"Player R64, please state your answer within three minutes," the mechanical voice finished, and Jing XiYuaan’s gaze swept over Qiann Yan and the others.
Qiann Yan stood behind cage number 1, where a fierce tiger awaited inside, and she looked at the red and green buttons before her.
Press the red button for a lie, and the green button for the truth.
Even though the distance between them didn’t seem far, she was actually inside a soundproof glass room, unable to be heard outside no matter how loud she shouted unless she pressed a button to speak.
Qiann Yan was about to press the green button, intending to say the cage wasn’t safe, when a line of text appeared on the display screen in front of her.
