Translator: 549690339
Player number 19 was a young man with medium-length hair parted at the side. His face was long and thin, and an amulet of the Goddess Guanyin hung around his neck. His tank top was soaked with sweat.
He was the first one selected, cold sweat continuously breaking out on his forehead.
Countless question cards whirled in front of his eyes, forming a circle. The inspector stood behind the brilliantly lit question board, his grey-cloaked figure flickering in and out of sight.
Although he should choose a category he was skilled at, but…
But looking at these question cards, he could not find a single one he excelled at!
Player number 19 looked hard.
– Poetry, literature, mathematics, languages, art, music, drama, sports, nature, science, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, history, general knowledge, architecture, food, clothing, folklore, countries, archaeology, animals, coding, astronomy, the arcane…
“Player number 19, please choose a topic type,” the inspector reminded him again. “If you take more than two minutes, the system will set a question at random.”
Player number 19 gritted his teeth. With no other options left, he said in a trembling voice, “I choose… general knowledge.”
Inspector: “The first compulsory question: what color is at the top of a rainbow?”
Player number 19 was first taken aback, but his nervous look quickly faded, and he let out a soft sigh. Whether or not other people knew the answer, he was very clear about it.
Because his favorite band was called Rainbow, and every single one of their album covers featured a rainbow!
At this moment, a line of text appeared on the LCD screens in front of everyone:
[1. What color is at the top of a rainbow?]
There were four options below:
[A. Red; B. Purple; C. Green; D. Orange.]
The right side of the answer key changed to a 60-second countdown.
As long as they weren’t too fogged up from the pressure, everyone should know to choose option A. The colors of a rainbow, from the outside in, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
Of course, some might not be aware of this common knowledge.
Like Tan Xiao, Bai Youwei seriously doubted he would get it right.
At the moment, Tan Xiao staring at his LCD screen, looking very pained.
“If you get it wrong, use a puzzle piece! Don’t stupidly get eliminated! Understand?!” Bai Youwei shouted out, brow furrowed.
Li Li, sitting across them, was speechless: “Really now? Even for this kind of question, you’d need to use a puzzle piece?”
Bai Youwei looked stern: “If we don’t use a puzzle piece, will you save him? Can you save him? If you can save him, say the answer! If you can’t, shut up!”
Li Li: “…”
Damn it, he would love to shout out the answer, but he didn’t dare…
Li Li lowered his head in annoyance, busying himself with the question, no longer caring about Tan Xiao.
The 60-second countdown quickly ended.
Inspector: “The answer is A. Correct answers award one point, wrong answers deduct one point. Players with no points are disqualified–”
As the ruling was announced, cries of misery, screams of terror, and shouts of despair echoed throughout the room.
“No! I don’t want to play this game! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!”
“Help, help! No…”
“…Ahhh! No, no!”
Eleven metal chairs slowly rotated as people, bound to them, struggled madly. They tugged at the metal bands around their waists, scratched at the metal rings around their necks. They scratched until their wounds bled, but they still couldn’t break free from the chair that might as well be a torture device.
The metal chairs finally turned around completely!
Only their high backs were visible now!
Surrounding the rotating platform was a dark fog, obscuring everything from view. Unable to see what misfortune had befallen those people, their screams grew even more horrifying, their struggles even more desperate!
The chair shook with a squeaking noise and then slowly turned back–
The people seated on the chairs had vanished…
Only exceedingly blinding, mottled bloodstains were left behind.
