Chapter 50.3

“Welcome to the third event – Underwater Chamber Escape.”

“Come and draw lots, my dear players! Same rules! Lucky players who draw the black ball will get an extremely thrilling underwater escape experience! The chamber escape in the amusement park is very special and can bring you a unique and unforgettable experience!”

“Underwater Chamber Escape?”

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but look at Tang Mianmian. They had obviously recalled the situation in the church in Daemon Town at the same time. Their legs couldn’t help but go soft at the thought.

“Underwater? No, no, no... I can’t!” The geek looked horrified. “I’m afraid of water. I can’t swim! I’ll drown! I mustn’t pick the black ball!”

Except for them, everyone else was numb and unbothered.

The draw began and the geek rushed up first.

While he was still drawing lots, his mouth kept mumbling the same phrase over and over again. Listening carefully, it seemed that he was repeating, “Bodhisattva bless. Buddha bless. Jade Emperor bless. God bless. Virgin Mary bless...” and so on. He prayed to all the deities over and over again.

Tang Mianmian looked at him with contempt and sneered, “It’s better to rely on yourself than God or Buddha...”

Although this geek’s luck had always been very good, which made him feel very envious, he really didn’t believe it. Was there really a king of luck who wouldn’t draw the black ball at all?

In the next second, the geek was done choosing. It was a red ball.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “I knew that my luck has always been very good. Looks like this time it’s pretty good as well.”

Tang Mianmian, “......”

Next, it was Tang Mianmian’s turn to draw lots.

He quickly mumbled a prayer. “Bodhisattva bless. Golden Boy and Jade Maiden bless, God of the Land bless. Jade Emperor bless. Heavenly Queen Mother bless. Heavenly Peach Tree bless...”

Then, he stretched out his hand confidently and got a black ball.

Tang Mianmian, “......”

Xiao Tangqiu gave Tang Mianmian a contemptuous look. What happened to relying on yourself rather than God or Buddha?

As soon as the result of the draw came out, a few people were happy and a few were sad.

Although there weren’t any casualties in the first round, in the second round, four people died in one fell swoop. Plus the beautiful girl who had inexplicably gone missing, there were only nine people left now. They pulled out a total of four black balls.

In addition to Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian, there were also two people from the other side who drew the black ball. But compared to both their gloomy expressions, the other two were much calmer... or perhaps more numb.

The clown grinned and announced the results of the draw and the rules of the game. Finally, he gave a warning for the first time. “If you want to escape from the chamber of secrets, you must find the key. And you must find it before you drown! Let me give you a hint, the key is in the most dangerous place!”

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart sank. It looked like the underwater chamber escape event involved filling the chamber with water first. Then, they had to find the key to leave before the water reached the top of the chamber.

Although they had played this in countless horror games, playing with computers was definitely different from playing in person! After all, the main characters in the horror games had phenomenal physical strength while they wee just ordinary people... That’s not right, Tang Mianmian didn’t count. He was just an ordinary person!

However, things had come to this so they could only accept the situation. Under the instructions of the clown, they entered the venue of the third game. From outside, the underwater chamber was just a very ordinary house. It didn’t look mysterious at all but at first glance, there weren’t any windows, only a strong iron door.

When they walked into the house through the iron door, they were even more surprised to find that the house was decorated almost like an ordinary house, complete with furniture and warm decoration. There were tables, chairs, beds, wardrobes and even a vase of flowers on the table. At first glance, they thought they had accidentally broken into someone’s home.

However, if they looked carefully, they could still see some flaws. Although the furniture in the house was complete, they were a little shabby. Some chairs were missing the legs. Normally, such chairs wouldn’t be used anymore. However, the strangest thing was that all the furniture were fixed and couldn’t be moved. Generally speaking, only furniture on cruise ships would be fixed so as to prevent shaking.

This must be done to prevent the furniture from floating and colliding when flooding the chamber with water.

Of course, the vase of flowers was also fake. They were just lifelike plastic flowers.

As the four entered the room, the iron gate slowly closed.

The moment the iron gate closed, they immediately heard the gurgling sound of running water. The water was flowing from God knows where, not from a fixed location, but from many different places in the house.

In an instant, the water had already shallowly covered the floor. Listening to the gurgling sound of running water, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian’s hearts pounded wildly. They looked at each other, not saying a word, and immediately turned to search the house under tacit understanding.

As two horror game streamers, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were naturally the best at searching through houses, especially Xiao Tangqiu, who was a fanatic at it. Every time he played a horror game, he would search the house inch by inch. He was meticulous and could often find details that other game streamers couldn’t. Therefore, whenever a new horror game was released, he was often the first to reveal the secret endings.

This time, he also made full use of his meticulousness and began to search the house like a crazy person. But at the same time, he was thinking about what the clown said just now.

“The key is in the most dangerous place.”

Where was the most dangerous place?

Literally?

But no matter how he looked at it, this house was just like an ordinary residential house. How could there be any danger? Was it the kitchen? Because there was a kitchen knife?

Xiao Tangqiu felt that the clown’s hint wasn’t so simple but he still went to search the kitchen. Everything in the kitchen was fixed, even the kitchen knife was fixed to the chopping board so he couldn’t pick it up. He searched the entire kitchen and found nothing.

When he returned to the living room, he saw Tang Mianmian lying on the floor looking under the sofa. After searching there, he looked in the nooks and crannies and finally looked into the vase of fake flowers.

Xiao Tangqiu frowned. “How’s the search coming along? Have you found anything?”

Tang Mianmian shook his head. “Nothing...”

Xiao Tangqiu glanced at the living room out of the corner of his eye. “Come on, let’s go to the bedroom.”

Naturally, Tang Mianmian wouldn’t refuse so he nodded his head.

The bedroom in this house was also decorated like a regular bedroom. There was a bed, bedside tables, a wardrobe, and even a picture of a family of three on the wall. It was just that the three people had blurred out faces and looked a little scary.

Tang Mianmian’s first move was to go through the wardrobe. He found that it could be opened but there was nothing inside.

Xiao Tangqiu also searched the table. The room wasn’t big. It was a one room structure and there wasn’t any rooms within. After he opened the drawer, he found a book.

The cover of this book was blurry but the strangest thing was that it could be picked up.

Xiao Tangqiu picked up the book and immediately something fell out with a clink.

Tang Mianmian immediately turned to see what it was. Then, his eyes lit up. “It’s the key! We’ve found the key!”

It was indeed a key – a silver key that looked ordinary.

Xiao Tangqiu’s intuition told him that things weren’t that simple. He picked up the key and immediately rejected that notion. “No, this key is too small. It looks like a key to open a door or box in the house, not the key to open the iron door.”

Tang Mianmian looked at it carefully and felt disappointed. The key was too small to be used for the keyhole of the iron door. But that made sense as well. How could they find the key so soon? The water in the room had only reached their ankles!

However, he was still rather geared up. “Then this must be the key to a certain room! At least we found a clue! Which room is it?”

The house had a one room structure and the kitchen was an open kitchen, leaving only the bathroom. However, when they found the bathroom, they realized that the bathroom door didn’t require a key.

What exactly did this key open?

They went into the bathroom, not knowing what to do, but paused the moment they entered. There were full body mirrors on the left and right sides of the bathroom, opposite of each other.

This decoration was too strange. Were two people supposed to look in the mirror with their backs against each other?

Xiao Tangqiu walked towards the mirrors and stood in front of them. He paused again.

He saw himself in this mirror... but the mirror behind him that was reflected in the mirror was empty.

In other words, he wasn’t reflected in the mirror behind him.

P.S. In case you’re not on Discord, I missed last night’s update because my grandma was admitted to the hospital. I’ll make up for the missed chapter soon. I couldn’t do it today because I’m really just too busy working and taking care of her. Also, I wanted to say that the last part really gave me the creeps. Say it with me: I HATE MIRRORS!
