In the dungeon, the atmosphere in Room 13 was somewhat depressed.
Ernie sat on the edge of the bed, frowning. He was a little anxious.
Casey was almost equivalent to a savior for the people in Room 13. Before Casey appeared, the people in Room 13 almost fell to the point of eating chaffy vegetables. Precisely because of Casey, they could eat a little well.
However, the savior had only been in Room 13 for half a month, and then he went to participate in the trial. For the people in Room 13, this was not something to be happy about.
If Casey succeeded, they might still get some benefits. According to the regulations, the room where the person who passed the trial successfully lived did not need to participate in any arena matches within one year.
However, if Casey failed, the situation they had to face would only be worse than before. They had been living good days for more than half a month. Their room could now be said to be a thorn in the eyes of people in all other rooms. Once Casey was gone, the other rooms would definitely vent on them. At that time, they would definitely be quite miserable.
"Shit in Room 13. I heard that Casey went to participate in the trial. It seems that he has no chance to come back alive. Are you ready to meet our fists? I hate you guts during these days. You’re all not pleasing to my eyes. I've long wanted to teach you guys a lesson!" At this time, a shout came from the next room.
Ernie’s face sank when he heard the shout. He knew that the person speaking was the leader in Room 12, nicknamed Mad Dog.
"You're really a fucking mad dog! Are you sure that our boss can't pass the trial? When our boss passes the trial, just wait and see!" Ernie replied angrily.
"Hahaha, stop dreaming. You don't know how terrifying the trial is? How many of those who participated in the trial can come back? Casey is indeed stronger than us, but that's it. It is impossible for him to pass that trial." Mad Dog replied disdainfully.
As soon as he said this, everyone in the surrounding rooms shouted.
"Fools in Room 13. Don't think that Casey can go back anymore. He is probably dead now!"
"Your support is gone. Wait for me to kick your ass!"
"So funny. You guys thought that Casey could succeed in the trial? What a fucking joke!"
...
One after another, the ridicule echoed in the dungeon. The people in Room 13 who listened to it all gritted their teeth, wishing to rush out and fight with those people now.
Ernie also clenched his fists. He was burned with anger by the mocking words of those in other rooms.
Just when everyone was taunting Room 13, the dungeon door was suddenly opened. The sound of the iron chain sounded. Then, the people in all the rooms immediately became quiet.
Casey, led by a man in a black suit, returned to the dungeon and walked along the corridor towards Room 13.
When the people in each room saw Casey coming back, they were stunned. Then, inexplicable fear grew in their hearts.
After a while, an unbelievable voice broke the silence in the dungeon, "This... this guy, actually came back alive! Has he passed the trial?"
Everyone took a deep breath and looked at Casey, who walked step by step, in disbelief.
The people in Room 13 couldn't see the situation in the corridor, but that person's words made them all realize what was going on.
An excited expression appeared on Ernie's face. He was waiting for the figure that was about to appear expectantly. His body trembled slightly because of being too excited.
"What did the man say? Casey is still alive? He passed the trial?" Mad Dog in Room 12 looked at the man next to him and asked.
The man next to him shook his head, saying he didn't hear clearly.
"I must have heard it wrong. How could that brat come back alive? If he can pass the trial, I will..." Just when Mad Dog was speaking, Casey passed the door of Room 12. Seeing Casey, Mad Dog swallowed his own words all at once, his eyes almost popping out.
Casey turned his head to glance at Mad Dog. Mad Dog was so scared that his body was shivering. He didn’t expect that Casey actually passed the trial and came back alive.
"How is this possible! He really succeeded?" Mad Dog muttered to himself.
The man in the black suit sent Casey into Room 13 and then left.
Ernie and the people in Room 13 looked at Casey with excitement. After a while, Ernie asked, "Boss, have you passed that trial?"
Casey nodded. But he didn't express too much excitement. After all, for him, there was no difficulty at all.
