Chapter 198: Escape from Death
"Let's see how the fourth child is doing."
The boss approached and sat heavily on Xie Yunhe's chest, who vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Honestly waiting for death is the best choice for you, isn't it?"
Xie Yunhe opened one eye with difficulty, staring at this person, his short and lean hair, with the dark night, he was like a man-eating ghost.
"I can't die without help."
"What?"
"Huh...... Good and evil will be rewarded in the end? This will kill him - me, isn't that the best example? β
"And I have to thank you?"
"No, he and I are friends, as we should. This time I have a long memory, and in the future, there will be no second time. β
"I'd love to pry your head open and see what's insideβfake compassion, or really stupid beyond cure."
The man grabbed Xie Yunhe's hair with one hand, turned around and dragged him towards the dug pit, sneered, and said coldly: "Of course, no matter which one it is, you should be damned." β
Xie Yunhe felt that he was being lifted up easily, and immediately, with curses and sneers, he fell into a damp and cold pit, and the night sky he saw suddenly shrank and turned into a rectangle, completely different from what he had just seen.
Perhaps, no one will understand him, remember him.
But so what, Xie Yunhe smiled, feeling the coldness of the dirt on his face, and slowly closed his eyes.
I was born like this, and any prejudice and misunderstanding have long been taken for granted.
"Hey, boy!"
"Hey! Feed! β
I don't know how long it took, Xie Yunhe suddenly regained consciousness, but he felt that his mouth and nose were all blocked, and there was an indescribable feeling of oppression all over his body.
His ears were stuffed with wet mud, and he shouldn't have heard any sound, but just now, he clearly heard the voice coming from beneath him.
Is it a delusion?
However, Xie Yunhe was in no mood to think about that, this feeling that life was worse than death when he couldn't breathe and couldn't move, and his brain was about to explode, made him pray that he could die as soon as possible.
"Hey! Don't die! β
Xie Yunhe was taken aback, it was not an illusion, there was really someone talking under him!
However, Xie Yunhe couldn't answer him, so he could only twist his body as little as he could.
"Now the situation is urgent, in this case, I don't gossip much, my name is Kerr, now I give you two choices, one, follow me to a place called the Island of Death, and gamble! If you can survive, then you don't have to die! The other is to do nothing and wait to suffocate to death, as it is now! β
Xie Yunhe's heart was extremely shocked, although he didn't know who the person who was talking to him was, but put it aside for the time being, first of all, he couldn't answer him at all!
And at this moment, it seemed that a palm was pressed behind Xie Yunhe, and he was immediately dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he actually arrived in a dark space that was incomparably similar to the dream he had just had!
Only this time, Xie Yunhe's consciousness was in his body from the beginning, and he moved freely.
He looked up and saw the outline of a closed door made of steel with a red skull pattern painted in front of him, and directly above the door, something resembling an electronic watch suddenly showed a green number:
00:03:25 seconds.
Everything is not in line with common sense for Xie Yunhe at all!
His heart was beating wildly at this time, and his whole body was trembling because of the nervous and shocking emotions, and he couldn't hear anything in either ear, only the heartbeat from his viscera sounded like a violent drumbeat.
But immediately, Xie Yunhe saw something strange.
That electronic watch, it seems to be counting down?
00:02:52 seconds
What does this mean exactly?
Just as Xie Yunhe was puzzled, a short figure appeared in front of him.
"Don't look at it, that's the only time you have left in your world."
The short figure was dressed in a black robe, he stretched out his green palm, ignored Xie Yunhe's stunned gaze, and took off his black hat.
He has emerald green skin, long ears, a hooked nose, and large yellow eyes with narrow pupils.
- Isn't this a goblin?!
Xie Yunhe's fright was beyond words, and he stared at him with his mouth open, stunned, not knowing what to say.
"I know you have a lot of things you don't understand right now, and you want to ask me, but you don't have that time right now. The situation is very unique, and it is the first time that I have entered the entrance of the Island of Death with an ordinary person without a contract. β
Xie Yunhe collected the available information from his words, and tried his best to stabilize his heartbeat, waiting for him to continue.
"My name is Kerr, hello Xie Yunhe." Kerr stretched out his hand, Xie Yunhe took a deep breath and shook it cautiously.
"As I said, that table shows how long you have left to live...... 1 minute and 32 seconds remaining. If you don't choose to contract with me once you reach zero, you'll dieβit won't be as painful as it was just now. It's just that when it's dark in front of you, you are no longer conscious, and you no longer exist anywhere in this universe. β
"What is a contract??" Xie Yunhe frowned tightly, and finally heard about his current situation.
To put it simply, I can still live for more than 1 minute and 30 seconds when I am buried alive, and I will die when the time comes.
And if you don't want to die, it seems that you have to sign some kind of contract with this guy in front of you who calls himself Kerr, who resembles a goblin.
"That...... I have less than 1 minute left to go?! Kerr!! Am I going to be able to survive if I sign it?! β
Kerr looked at Xie Yunhe, who was in a hurry, but calmed down, because in his opinion, Xie Yunhe would sign this contract.
Kerr stared at Xie Yunhe's head, only the values he could see, and he was not too happy in his heart.
But he pretended to be cold and evil, after all, the contract had not been signed yet, and everything had not yet been decided.
Low-key, low-key, Kerr warned himself in his heart.
"I'm not sure, but it'......"
"Not sure?! Damn, I'm not sure what contract Lao Tzu signed with you?! Look at your obscene face, maybe you are a demon with a bad stomach!! β
"Huh? What a mess, who is the evil ......"
"You don't have garlic! The more you look at it, the more it looks! Lao Tzu doesn't sign! Get lost! I'm going to be reincarnated honestly! β
Xie Yunhe was about to collapse when he saw that the time was getting shorter and shorter, but the goblin in front of him was still pretending to be a good man, and he suddenly became angry and scolded him.
At this juncture, he will never allow him to give up!
Kerr was nervous and couldn't pretend anymore, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry! Listen to me! Sign the contract and you will survive! The premise is that you must survive the trial! That's why I said take a gamble! Survive and you're a winner! And countless riches! If you lose, the end is still death! β
The electronic watch walked indifferently, and the numbers gradually decreased.
00:00:30 seconds
Xie Yunhe was stunned, gritted his teeth and looked at the dwindling survival time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his internal organs were almost twisted into a ball.
This anxious monster in front of him, in the end, is it friend or foe?
00:00:10 seconds
"Hurry! No time! You're a big man, and you're still a fart! It's better to gamble even if you die than to wait for death, right?! Don't you earthlings have a saying that it is better to die than to live? Go to the special reincarnation!! Vote for you grandma!! He's dead! That's the end of everything!! β
ββ¦β¦β
"Hurry!! Push the door in!! β
00:00: 3 seconds
ββ¦β¦ I'm betting with you!! β
Xie Yunhe trembled violently, roared wildly, pushed Kerr away with red eyes, rushed with all the strength of his legs, and smashed the door with a loud bang, and in an instant, the dazzling white light swallowed up the entire space, and when the light disappeared again, the figures of Xie Yunhe and Kerr had both disappeared.
The countdown also happens to stop.
00:00:00 seconds
In the pitch-black space, only a wisp of gray dust drifted gently, silent.
"Hey, Xie Yunhe, wake up."
I don't know how long it took, Xie Yunhe felt someone pat his cheek, and slowly opened his eyes, but saw a big green head! A pair of big yellow eyes are staring at him!
"I'll go!! Scared the hell out of me!! Xie Yunhe hurriedly got up and leaned against the big tree behind him, but saw Kerr clapping at him with a smile.
"New challenger, Mr. Xie Yunhe, welcome to the Island of Death."
When Xie Yunhe heard this, he immediately remembered a series of conversations between the two.
The fact that he is still alive shows that this Kerr did not lie to himself.
"Then I'm going to survive now?" Xie Yunhe asked as he stared at Kerr suspiciously.
Kerr's eyes wandered, and he snorted: "Of course, of course you are alive now." β
Xie Yunhe didn't hear anything, frowned and continued to ask, "That means that I have to sign a contract with you, right?" What about contracts? I'll take a look at the content first. β
"There is no contract, you have completed the contract." Kerr blinked.
"Signed? You won't take advantage of my coma......" Xie Yunhe's face sank, and he was about to question, but Kerr waved his hand again and again, and explained with a wry smile.
"You may not have understood the urgency of the situation just now - first contract, then survive. That door, you chose to crash into it, then it means that you choose the contract. Of course, under normal circumstances, the challenger will explain it in detail before choosing it, but you don't have that much time at the time. β
Xie Yunhe didn't answer again, he stood up and looked around, the sky was blue, and it was noon.
"And where is this place? Am I still on Earth? β
Kerr motioned for him to look behind him, Xie Yunhe turned suspiciously, only to see a huge wooden plaque painted with the words "Island of Death" in bold letters in crimson paint.
Under a bridge made of thick logs, an upside-down U-shaped entrance is formed, and outside the entrance is a fine sandy beach that shines like the Milky Way, and the sea is blue as far as the eye can see, which is refreshing.
And the huge wooden sign with several big red letters written on the island of death hangs leisurely above the entrance.
"Kerr."
"What's wrong?"
"I remember, the last time I was when I was about 14 years old."
"That's a pity, books are very helpful for developing the imagination, and I like to read your human books, it's very interesting."
Xie Yunhe took a deep breath, turned to face Kerr, and said a little off-the-beaten: "So, what am I experiencing now in science fiction or a fantasy story?" β
Although surviving made Xie Yunhe feel gratified, but immediately, he had left the earth and was in a strange environment, which made him unhappy.
The Xie family is indeed his nightmare, but at least, Xie Yunhe still hopes that he can live on Earth.
"I think you've misunderstood somethingβwhat you're experiencing now is really not ordinary, and this Isle of the Dead is indeed a strange space."
Kerr looked at Xie Yunhe, who became more and more depressed the more he listened, and a hint of banter flashed in his eyes.
"But I didn't say you couldn't go back."
Kerr smiled proudly, pretending to be old-fashioned and beckoning to Xie Yunhe, motioning to follow him, "Don't worry, since I've brought you to this place, I'll definitely be responsible for it to the end, now, go eat something first, and then talk about it after eating, how about it?" β
The two walked out like this, and Xie Yunhe realized that they were in the jungle of a park before.
The park is almost the same as the park in Xia Kingdom, and it is even more spacious and clean.
