Chapter 148 Game of Life and Death (1/2)

Long Xi softly lay in Yan Wangchuan’s embrace not fully regaining her consciousness due to her near drowning.

His cold kiss fell on her cheek, moving towards her lips.

“Ah… don’t! I consider you as my brother. Please, don’t touch me!” …Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who could save her?

“Mmm? Don’t be afraid. I’m just asking for a little reward in advance. You should know that I put my life in danger to help you!” Yan Wangchuan’s voice grew hoarse.

Holding back her reluctance, with Yan Wangchuan’s assistance Long Xi tried to stand.

As she stood she noticed that the surrounding environment was different! This was Hell instead of the Esperanza!

Long Xi said with some fear, “Something seemed to try and drag me beneath the sea.”

Yan Wangchuan answered, “It was a person. She wore a diving suit. I couldn’t see her clearly, but I could tell that it was a woman. I started to fight with her. Fortunately, I am very fit this year, so I was stronger than her!”

“Thank you, brother Wangchuan!” Long Xi said gratefully.

At that moment, a man in a black suit came over to them and said in blunt Chinese, “Please go to the guest room to change your clothes. These are your room cards. After ten minutes, everyone should gather in the entertainment hall.”

Taking the room cards, Long Xi and Yan Wangchuan glanced at each other before entering their respective rooms, 207 and 208.

As Long Xi entered room 207 she could not help frowning when she saw that there was only a voile split dress in a light golden color.

The material was as light as butterfly wings, there was no undergarment inside. Her legs were too visible, showing her sexiness.

But it was her only choice as her clothes were soaked. She had nothing to wear but this!

She changed her clothes and walked out of the room.

Yan Wangchuan left his room at the same moment.

The silver-gray suit and white shirt suited him. The casually tied light blue tie seemed to be a snatch of the sky.

Above the tie, his face was still handsome, a light smile visible as looking at Long Xi’s dress, his eyes danced with admiration.

Long Xi nervously adjusted her dress and said with some embarrassment, “It was the only dress in my room.”

Yan Wangchuan took off his suit jacket and put it on her.

Long Xi was slightly relieved. The jacket would cover most of her naked body.

They came to the entertainment hall.

Many people had gathered in the hall, which, if estimated would be 100 at least.

Long Xi noticed three acquaintances in the crowd – Yamamoto Shang, Man Shahua, and Weiwei.

Yamamoto Shang still wore a samurai costume, Man Shahua was dressed as the snake-haired banshee, Medusa, and Weiwei was dressed as a Japanese geisha.

Long Xi sneered in her mind and thought, “It’s easy for everyone to notice the two women since they like to role play.”

In the center of the hall, there was a very large iron cage with an iron gate in the middle of it, which divided the cage into two parts.

Two jackals were in the left section of the cage.

The two jackals seemed to be used to people’s attention. One of them leisurely sat on the ground, while the other was snapping.

The right section of the cage was covered with a piece of black cloth concealing it.

“Everybody, each of you has five white chips, which you could trade for one green chip. We only have 10,000 green chips in total. When the game starts, in 72 hours, if you can gain 1,000 green chips, you can ask for a person to be saved. If you lose all of your chips, you need to accept our punishment. In the game, you can use any kind of method, except violence. If you break the rules, you will also be punished.” The male voice echoed around the hall, but no one could see who was talking. Perhaps, there was a hidden speaker in the corner.

Save a person? Long Xi caught the keywords: if she could win 1,000 green chips in the game, she could save a person!

She could not help calling out, “Could you please show us whether there is a person that we want to save?”

The voice said, “After two days, if three of you have 100 or more green chips, I will remove the black cloth from the cage. Then, you can see if there is someone you want to save.”

As people discussed what had been said, a few black men in black suits distributed five white, round chips to each person.

Long Xi quietly observed the others and pondered who she could trust.

There were a lot of game machines and game tables in the hall. Long Xi approached one of the tables.

There was a small flag in its corner, with the words Hero Kill written on it.

When they were in grade 10, Xiaolu used to teach Long Xi to play the card game, Hero Kill.

At that time when their study was particularly tense, they would play a round after class. Long Xi was good at the game.

Yan Wangchuan said to Long Xi, “I see there is a chess table. I am good at that. I should go there and I will give you everything I win.”

Long Xi nodded and said, “Okay, let’s play.”

Yan Wangchuan walked to the chess table.
