Chapter 124 The Right Choice

“But you’re still lucky. At least nothing happened to you. Don’t be so reckless next time. It’s too dangerous…”

A burly, bearded companion next to Jack from Australia said with some relief.

“It’s okay, Lucas. Don’t forget, I’m Lucky Star Jack…”

However, before Jack from Australia could finish speaking, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, his eyes closed, and lost consciousness.

“Jack, what’s wrong? Jack, wake up…”

Lucas stepped forward to check Jack’s breathing, then began performing chest compressions and CPR. After ten minutes, he reluctantly gave up.

“Jack is dead…”

“Australian Chosen One Jack has died. A tsunami will strike the coastal areas of Australia…”

Hearing the cold, emotionless broadcast from the Rule Anomaly, all the Chosen Ones were immediately plunged into panic.

“What exactly happened? He was fine just now. How could he suddenly die?”

“Could it be that the food is also inedible? No, the food should be like the drinks, with certain restrictions. Once the conditions aren’t right, the person who eats the food will be punished…”

“There’s less than five minutes left. Are we really just relying on luck? But how many people can be as lucky as that guy just now? I’m afraid 80% of the people here will die, right?”

Many of the Chosen Ones around were not novices, but at this moment, they were somewhat helpless.

While these people waited for the next cannon fodder, Shen Wei carefully observed all the food and drink packaging on the stall.

“Kid, have you observed any clues?”

The Evil God Right Hand asked, pretending to be nonchalant.

Shen Wei shook his head, somewhat disappointed.

“No, the packaging of these drinks and foods is about the same as what’s sold in supermarkets. There’s nothing suspicious. The clues probably aren’t on the packaging of the drinks and food…”

Just as Shen Wei was speculating about other clues, some of the Chosen Ones around him couldn’t hold back any longer.

Because there was very little time left, this time three people stepped forward.

“Since we can’t guess the way out, let’s gamble on luck. If we’re really lucky, maybe we can escape this place we can never leave, just like that Chosen One before…”

A tall, blonde woman placed a lucky star necklace around her neck.

“Lyla is right. If we win, we can leave here. If we fail, we’ll just die. But as an experienced veteran of many Rule Anomalies, I’ve long been prepared for death…”

A haggard man dressed as a Western cowboy took out a pocket watch, looked at it, and said softly.

“Who says otherwise? Ever since entering the Rule Anomaly, I knew I would die here…”

Lucas said with some self-deprecation.

The reason why they were going all in was because their experience with multiple Rule Anomalies made them anticipate that after the drink stall owner packed up, they would be in extreme danger. At that time, they would basically have no chance of survival, so they might as well gamble now…

Lucas, standing beside the others, glanced at Jack lying on the ground and was the first to drink the chosen green drink.

But as soon as he drank half the bottle, his face, eyes, and even his hair turned green. Then he went mad, frantically attacking the surrounding Chosen Ones.

Two Chosen Ones who were closest to him didn’t have time to react and had their heads chopped off directly by the knight’s sword in his hand.

Soon, Lucas was also beaten into a pile of minced meat by the surrounding Chosen Ones.

Lucas’s fate made the man dressed as a Western cowboy feel a little like a rabbit mourning the fox’s death! But he had no choice. He tilted his head back and drank the red drink in his hand, but he only took a few sips before throwing the bottle away. He lay on the ground, writhing and howling in pain. Then, countless sharp bone spurs pierced his skin and burst out. These bone spurs were densely packed all over his body, even his eyes, mouth, and ears were not spared.

Someone with trypophobia would definitely be scared into a silent scream seeing this.

The cowboy hat man struggled painfully for a long time before finally falling silent.

With only a little over a minute left, the blonde woman Lyla, although with fear on her face, still unhesitatingly drank the bottle of gray liquid in her hand.

Just when Lyla thought she was doomed to die, death was slow to arrive. She cautiously opened her eyes. In the mist, she actually saw a straight road, and at the end of the road was a magnificent building. The sign on the building clearly read "Public Toilet."

“You see it too, right? Go! Come out after going in, and you’ll be able to get out of here…”

The owner of the drink stall once again reminded her. Lyla nodded upon hearing this, skillfully broke free from the encirclement of the Chosen Ones, and rushed into the mist. Behind her, countless Chosen Ones revealed envious, resentful, and vicious eyes.

“Right Hand, I have a bold guess. I want to verify it.”

Shen Wei said to his Evil God Right Hand.

“You know the rules, two years of lifespan…”

“Take it…”

“Look at the red eye pattern on my palm, simulate, begin now!”

My name is Shen Wei. By the time you hear my name, I may already be dead, because after escaping the extremely dangerous haunted house, I came to a place I can’t leave. There’s a strange drink stall here with many strange drinks on it. Many people have died in bizarre ways after drinking them, and only a few people have been lucky enough to escape.

After my clever Right Hand’s reminder, I suddenly analyzed a very important clue, so I decided to take a risk. I went to the drink stall, paid one year of lifespan, and bought a bottle of red drink. After hesitating for a moment, I unscrewed the lid and drank it all.

But unfortunately, my choice was wrong. Countless bugs with human faces burst out from inside my body, gnawing my body full of holes. I let out a painful wail and died miserably.

“Simulation complete, collect lifespan!”

The Evil God Right Hand stealthily collected Shen Wei’s lifespan.

“I know which drink I should drink to be correct…”

Shen Wei endured the discomfort brought about by death and came to the front of the drink stall!

“Boss, give me a bottle of that yellow drink…”

Shen Wei quickly paid one year of lifespan. Although time was passing little by little, there were still many Chosen Ones watching around him. They looked at Shen Wei as if they were looking at cannon fodder, hoping that Shen Wei could test out a little bit more information for them.

The expressionless drink stall owner handed Shen Wei a bottle of yellow drink. Shen Wei didn’t hesitate, unscrewed the lid, and drank it all. Then, he strode towards the distant mist.
