Chapter 16: Tricky game

Bad luck.

It’s unlucky to draw the lottery, and it’s also unlucky to choose this game mode.

Ajin looked at the dark basement passage. Although he tried his best to keep a calm expression on his face, a hint of uneasiness could be seen in the corners of his eyes.

The long-sealed basement was opened, and the heavy copper chain hanging on the door collided, making a fierce and sharp sound. It was like a thick python being pulled out and piled on the ground, and the huge iron door also revealed an entrance that could accommodate a person's body to pass through.

The iron door was covered with a layer of dust, and underneath was a thick layer of dirt that looked like blood clots. Ah Jin stared at that spot, and his heart skipped a beat.

The servants who were in charge of leading the way and opening the door were very silent, like a group of polished humanoid puppets. When the chains were removed, they stood on both sides, silently watching the three players who were still there.

Ajin seemed to hear a silent urging.

She took a deep breath and was about to walk in first, but Curly had already put his hands in his pockets and walked into the entrance before her.

Ah Jin didn't have a very good impression of Juanmao - to be more precise, she was very wary of players who were much stronger than her. But this move was still very reassuring to her.

After Curly Hair left, Yuan Yuxue followed behind him.

Yuan Yuxue's skin was too white. Even in the dim light, he could see his wrists and neck, which looked like they were bathed in the moonlight. It was as if he could see the pale blue color in his blood vessels through his pale skin. When he walked in front, he was inexplicably conspicuous and eye-catching, just like a lamp in the dark night. Ah Jin was slightly stunned and followed him silently.

There was an unknown fear in front of her, and an exit behind her. This position did give her a sense of security.

The servants were watching them from behind. They didn't lock the basement door as expected after the three entered. Instead, their cold, mechanical gazes lingered behind them, forcing them to go deeper into the dark, bottomless basement corridor. Ah Jin felt the gazes from behind him and didn't look back.

Although Curly is talkative, bad-tempered and noisy, this shortcoming has become a certain advantage in this environment.

At least Curly found the basement to be dusty, had bad air quality, and had outdated decoration aesthetics. He also complained that the building looked like a dangerous building and should be rebuilt in time. Any slightly scary atmosphere could be completely destroyed by him.

This path is noticeably sloping downwards, with the corridors having poorly lit areas.

Brass lamps were hung on both sides of the corridor, burning with grease left over from who knows when. The flames in the lampshades were also very weak, and the flames kept jumping, as if they would go out at any time. Because there was only one lamp far away, and the flames were weak, visibility was also very low. When they were completely out of the entrance, it became difficult to see. Curly mentioned casually: "This road is too difficult to walk on. The lights are dim, and I can't see anything with poor eyesight..."

Although no one responded to his words, Curly was always good at making excuses for himself. He seemed to think seriously before saying, "If you are afraid of falling, you can hold my hand and walk with me."
