Chapter 16

Although the crowd did not understand much about medical knowledge, they generally grasped what Doctor Zhao meant.

Now, removing the harpoon was simple for them, but stitching a wound was difficult.

"Writer's life has been saved now. The only thing we need to do is leave here as quickly as possible and find a place with the right conditions to treat his wound again."

Doctor Zhao's words brought everyone's thoughts back to reality.

If they couldn't leave this bizarre room, their fate would eventually be the same as Han Yimo's.

"But how do we leave? Is the 'game' over?" Lin Guo covered her mouth and nose and asked.

Qi Xia thought carefully and shook her head.

The mask had clearly written that the person called "Human Dog" hoped they would survive and said, "See you after the rain."

Logically, after this storm of harpoons, the so-called "Human Dog" would appear and possibly bring the next game.

But why hasn't he appeared?

"Hey, liar." Qiao Jiajin slowly walked to Qi Xia's side and asked with a serious face, "You have a way to survive, right?"

"So what?" Qi Xia replied coldly, "Whether I survive or not, what does it have to do with you?"

"I'm not as smart as you, so I need to find someone to cooperate with." Qiao Jiajin seemed to be recommending himself, "You have the brains, I have the strength. Let's work together."

Qi Xia frowned slightly at this.

"Sorry, I'm a liar. I don't plan to trust anyone but myself."

Before Qiao Jiajin could speak again, a question came from Officer Li.

"What's this?"

Everyone turned to look and saw that Officer Li was carefully examining the harpoon in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Doctor Zhao approached Officer Li and asked cautiously.

"There are words." Officer Li handed the harpoon to Doctor Zhao.

Doctor Zhao took it and looked at it, his expression changing. Indeed, there were small words on the tail of the harpoon, which was as thick as a finger:

"I am 'Human Sheep.' Seeing these words means you have survived."

"But how many of you have survived?"

"Is anyone injured?"

"I am very worried about you."

"I cannot stand by and watch you die."

"In a quarter of an hour, death will rain down again."

"Avoid them and find a way to survive."

Doctor Zhao gritted his teeth and then threw the harpoon to the ground forcefully.

"Are you messing with us! It never ends!" He roared loudly, as if trying to release all the suppressed emotions he had.

"Calm down!" Officer Li said sternly, "If you can't control your emotions, how will you survive?"

"Survive...? But we are already dead!!" Doctor Zhao finally couldn't take it anymore, "We are already dead, yet we are still tormented by the fear of death. What does the 'organizer' want?! Can't he just kill us or let us go?"

Everyone's faces were grim. Yes, what is the purpose of these waves of death threats?

Is it really as the sheep-headed man said, to select a 'god'?

Does it mean that one person will become a 'god' and the rest will go to hell?

"Everyone, we have survived two 'games.' Do you think it's because we are smart? No!" Doctor Zhao clenched his fists tightly, "It's because we were lucky! But what about next time? The time after that? In this ever-changing room, how long can we survive?"

Officer Li pursed his lips, stepped forward, and grabbed Doctor Zhao by the collar: "Hey... buddy! In a life-or-death situation, the last thing we need is to lose 'morale'! If you don't want to live, you can die on your own! Don't undermine our morale here!"

"I...!" Doctor Zhao's lips trembled, "But how do we get out? Do you have a way to get us out?"

Officer Li pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have a 'way,' but I know we must survive! As long as we survive, there is hope."

He released Doctor Zhao and walked to the side, picked up a harpoon, and examined it. Then he went to Han Yimo and looked at the harpoon in his shoulder, finding the same words on both.

It seemed their luck was really good.

In the last round, they not only had to avoid fatal attacks but also leave at least one harpoon to get the clue for the next round.

"Regardless, this time we at least have a clear clue." Officer Li read the words on the harpoon and said, "Unlike before, this time the attack will only come from above."

He pointed to the small words on the harpoon, "Death will rain down again."

As he spoke, the room began to change again.

All the holes in the walls were slowly disappearing, and the numerous holes in the ceiling began to shift and reposition.

In the end, only nine remained.

Three holes in each row, three rows in total.

"It seems the game is getting simpler." Officer Li sighed, looking at the nine holes in the ceiling, "This is a stroke of luck in our misfortune."

"But why did it become 'Human Sheep' this time?" Lawyer Zhang pointed to the body on the ground, which had been torn apart by the harpoons, and asked, "Didn't we kill 'Human Sheep'?"

Qi Xia thought for a moment and also found it strange.

The sheep-headed man who died earlier indeed called himself "Human Sheep," but his mask had written "I am Human Dog."

Sometimes sheep, sometimes dog.

Could this also be a clue?

"There's no time." Officer Li said to the crowd, "It's already 1:13. The nine holes in the ceiling will shoot harpoons soon. Everyone, pick up the table boards and stand against the wall."

Most of the table boards on the ground were already broken, only some smaller ones were still usable.

Fortunately, the nine holes in the ceiling were all concentrated in the center, making the walls safe.

Everyone silently picked up the broken table boards and stood against the walls, away from the central holes.

But Qi Xia didn't move, and slowly closed her eyes again.

From any perspective, the third game was too suspicious.

Because the 'organizer' had given a very direct solution.

To Qi Xia, this time the hint was unnecessary.

Do they want them to die, or do they want them to live?

Why mention "Human Sheep" and "Human Dog" separately?

If "Human Sheep" and "Human Dog" don't refer to names, what do they represent?

"Hey, liar, come over here!" Qiao Jiajin shouted, "You'll die if you stand under the holes!"

"Die...?" Qi Xia looked coldly at the holes in the ceiling, "I can't die here. I have a reason to get out."

"What's going on... Does the smartest person also become a traitor?" Qiao Jiajin was puzzled.

Qi Xia extended her index finger and gently tapped her temple.

"Wait... wait... give me a little more time."

Everyone's breathing slowed down, and they watched Qi Xia in the center of the room in silence. They didn't understand why such an obvious game needed further thought.
