A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1296

Chapter 1296 

After the players picked their spots, the mechanical voice echoed again: 

“Please, players, insert your invitations into the operating console for identity confirmation.” 

Two small slots appeared on the tabletop, popping out the control panel. Robin stared at the console, hesitating. 

“Players, insert your invitations within five seconds. Those who fail to do so will be executed.” 

“Damn it.” Robin muttered under his breath before taking out his golden leaf, and inserting it into the console. 

“Player Dunce, confirmed.” 

“Snort-” 

Scarface Man, sitting next to him, heard his codename and instantly burst into fits of laughter. 

“Hahaha, did you piss off the inviter? They gave you the codename ‘Dunce’, it’s quite fitting, isn’t it?” 

Robin clenched his fists, glaring deathly at Scarface Man, who was laughing until his stomach hurt. 

“Shut up!” 

Whether it was hitting Scarface Man’s funny bone or what, he just couldn’t stop laughing. 

“Your inviter is 1-4, mine too. Look at the codename he gave me, Scarface, it sounds so cool. Yours, on the other hand, is just too stupid.” 

Furious, Robin raised a fist and charged at him. Scarface Man quickly retreated a step. 

“Whoa, whoa, I’ll stop laughing.” 

Scarface Man raised his hands in surrender, and only then did Robin, holding back his surging anger, turned back to the console. 

He thought, “1-4, if I ever find you, I’ll tear you limb from limb, I swear!” 

Eleanor glanced cautiously at Robin, not so much worried that he would drop dead from anger due to the nickname.

Rather, she didn’t expect them to jumpstart the game right after explaining the rules. She had no idea how long it would take, or if Robin could keep his cool. 

However, the infuriated Robin had long forgotten about needing to use the restroom. Now, he just couldn’t wait to find 1-4 and give him a piece of his mind. As they each harbored their own thoughts, the mechanical voice in the fourth space echoed again: 

“Players, before the first round of the game begins, we will announce the win-loss mechanism.” 

“Rewards of the first round: Option one, 50 million dollars. Option two, a night of debauchery.” 

As the electronic voice played, the sleek table surface morphed into a screen, displaying cash and a video of a burlesque show. 

Eleanor didn’t understand what ‘a night of debauchery’ meant. Upon seeing the images on the screen, she quickly averted her eyes and looked at Robin, who was staring blankly at the scantily-clad women dancing on horseback. Judging by his expression, he seemed indifferent. 

Scarface Man, on the other hand, was just as excited as the other men in the game room, whistling appreciatively. Only Eleanor was uncomfortable and lowered 

her head. 

“Am I the only female player here?” Eleanor asked. 

“If you win later and don’t want to play with the ‘night of debauchery’ prize, you can choose the cash.” Before Robin could answer Eleanor’s question, Scarface Man had already interjected. 

“How do you know I’ll win?” 

Eleanor couldn’t help asking Scarface Man. He shrugged nonchalantly. “Just a hunch.” 

As she suspiciously eyed Scarface Man, the images on the screen disappeared, slowly replaced by others. At the same time, the electronic voice started again. 

“The punishment for the first round will be carried out by our Robo Blue, who will sever a player’s arm.” 

The screen displayed Robo Blue swiftly tearing off a player’s arm. 

Eleanor shifted her gaze from the screen to the red door opposite the table. So, this was the so-called life door and death door. 

If any of them chose wrongly, the robot behind the red door would come out and remove their arms. 

Only at this moment did the players start to feel the tension. 

However, Area Opaca didn’t give any of the players a chance to catch their breath and started the game directly. 

“Area Opaca’s fourth floor, Seniors’ Space, first round officially starts.” 

After the mechanical voice finished, the screen on the table faded, and four black square boxes popped out. 

“The question for the first round: Which box has the apple in it?”
