Chapter 1760
Taya didn't realize it was her turn to face death until the mechanical voice sounded.
She forced a stiff smile, clutching the apple Johnny had left for her, and walked out of the room.
Alone in the hallway, she wished someone would come out, smile, and say, "What a coincidence, I'm still alive too." But no one did.
Following the mechanical voice's instructions, she arrived at the ninth round of the casino. This room was completely different from before, no longer all white, but dazzling with gold and jewels.
The opulent room symbolized the identity of Erebus' mastermind. The more luxurious the room, the more lowly the people who entered it, to meet their demise.
Filled with anger, Taya approached the control panel and randomly selected an option. She didn't even bother to listen to the rules, just chose without fear, knowing that whatever she picked, it would lead to her death.
If she lost, she planned to ask the man in black if Griffon was now working for Erebus. If she won, she would continue to challenge the games in other areas until she found Griffon. At this point, she no longer cared about her own life.
With this despair, she pressed a button, and the door in front of her slowly opened, indicating she had chosen correctly.
She felt fate was playing a cruel joke on her. In the eighth round, she needed to choose correctly but didn't, and now, when she wanted to lose, she chose right.
"Player 2-7, codenamed Cross, congratulations, you have successfully completed all the levels. You can choose to leave and receive a substantial prize from Erebus, or stay and continue to challenge games in other areas. If you choose to leave, enter the door, and Erebus will escort you home. If you choose to stay, press the confirmation button on the control panel, and Erebus will open a direct passage to other areas."
Taya listened and sneered, then without hesitation, pressed the confirmation button—
"Don't press it!"
