Chapter 197 Game Room No.1
Both of them were taken aback by the line of words that suddenly appeared. Tang Xia turned to look at her. “Does this girl know how to predict the future? Why is it that whatever she says always comes true?”
However…’He who remains is King’, these five words were already very obvious. Whatever that was going to happen in this Garden of Eden, would definitely not be simple. She had a feeling that there was going to be a bloody fight out here.
Li Xianxian looked up at Tang Xia, lifted up her head and beaming with confidence and said, “Just wait and see! The winner will definitely be me!”
Her gaze was full of sarcasm, as if she was saying that Tang Xia was over-estimating herself.
Indeed, Li Xianxian had been doing live streaming in the broadcast room for so long, and she had been thriving in the company for so long, as well. Tang Xia was just an insignificant newbie streamer. How could she take away Li Xianxian’s spotlight! She really over-estimated herself, this time.
Li Xianxian threw her a harsh glare, turned around and left without looking back.
Tang Xia stared at her back view silently, as Li Xianxian walked away. If you set your eyes above the limit, you would fall into pieces one day.
This was a battle between Li Xianxian and herself. And in this battle, not only was it a battle of glory between Li Xianxian and herself, there was also Ye Yifan…
Thinking about Ye Yifan, Tang Xia clenched her fists. She looked up suddenly, and her eyes glowed brightly, confirming her determination.
“I must win.”
Thinking about what Pearl said, Tang Xia suddenly turned to look at her.
Pearl watched Li Xianxian, who was as beautiful as a fairy, leaving. She then saw how serious Tang Xia was. Looking into her eyes, Pearl froze instantly. She was so scared that she did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
“Would this woman dressed in such a beautiful gown, pull her down too, because she had a quarrel with the fairy-like sister?” Just when Pearl was staring at Tang Xia in alarm, she saw Tang Xia frowning, as if she had just thought of something, suddenly.
Assuming that not everyone was taken in by Chu Tianjiao’s jaw dropping beauty, then, surely there must be someone else who had been forcefully dragged here by him, just like Tang Xia. She must also be disgusted with him.
In that case, there was a possibility that some people also wanted to escape from this place. But why did it seem like everyone here was very obedient, and none of them seemed to want to leave this place?
She turned around and looked at Pearl, and with furrowed brows, asked her, “Isn’t there any one else here who wants to escape?”
Hearing what Tang Xia wanted to say after holding it in for so long, Pearl instantly heaved a huge sigh of relief. She gasped for air, desperately. Tang Xia’s earlier facial expression had been so scary, she thought that something was wrong. She turned towards Tang Xia and sighed before saying, “Of course, there are people who have tried to escape.”
Seeing how depressed Pearl looked, Tang Xia asked, “What’s wrong? What happened in the end?”
Feeling a little helpless, Pearl looked at the sea outside the window. The ocean waves dashed strongly against the rock wall. The whole castle stood on a stone cliff, and it looked very dangerous, as if the whole castle could just fall and collapse, during a storm.
“Yes, many people have tried to escape.”
Pearl turned to look at Tang Xia with a serious look. “But once they fail in their escape, they will be fed with a medicine.”
Tang Xia froze. Medicine?
“What kind of medicine?”
Pearl hesitated for a while, and did not know if she should tell her this. But after thinking about it, since Tang Xia was asking her all these questions, it meant that she also harbored ideas of escaping from the Garden of Eden.
Although she only met Tang Xia once, she still did not dare to let her jump into the dangerous pit. After staying silent for a moment, she told her eventually, “A medicine that will make them become like those maids!”
It felt so refreshing to let it all out all at once! Pearl then tried to pace her breath. Tang Xia was instantly dumbfounded. The maids that Pearl mentioned, should be the same maids that brought her food and dressed her!
They were like a bunch of emotionless robots, who cared about nothing. There were no sarcasm or pity in their eyes. It seemed like their souls had been completely sucked away.
Thinking about what those maids were like, it was no wonder that they looked as if they were being system-operated. Tang Xia started to feel scared.
No matter how hard she thought, she would never be able to think that this bunch of people became like this, because of their failure to escape. Tang Xia then asked Pearl softly, “Then are there are people who have managed to successfully escape?”
Pearl was startled, but she quickly reacted. Tang Xia still did not give up on this idea, even after listening to what she said! Pearl was suddenly very worried and pulled Tang Xia’s arm and asked, “What are you going to do? Don’t you even think about it!”
Tang Xia looked at Pearl speechlessly, but she was also very grateful toward her. After all, they had just met, and she was already thinking about her safety, to this extent.
In this Garden of Eden, a world that was filled with demons, it was so rare to find a stranger like Pearl, who was so kind and so worried for her.
Looking at the crazy women around her, who were acting like wolves and tigers, Tang Xia suddenly felt that Pearl was like a little sheep, that had accidentally strayed into this den of wild beasts.
Tang Xia suddenly smiled and said, “No, I’m just curious.”
Even if she wanted to escape, she would not tell her. Tang Xia was not dumb; how could she tell a girl whom she barely knew, about something that might endanger her life? How could she admit to it, so simply?
Tang Xia then watched Pearl seemingly heave a sigh of relief. She then patted her chest, as if her worried heart was now at peace. Seriously, how could she cause someone’s death, because of something she said? If that was the case, she would live with the guilt for a long while.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Tang Xia looked at her, and suddenly also felt happy herself, for some reason.
Pearl took a huge gulp of fruit juice and looked at Tang Xia, as she spoke softly, “Actually, I don’t have much details, I haven’t been here for very long.”
Suddenly, she mysteriously leaned closer towards Tang Xia and said softly, “But…I did hear of someone who managed to escape successfully. But until now, no one has ever told us if that person managed to escape or not.”
Indeed. This kind of situation was nearly impossible to confirm. After all, the person was already missing. Did she manage to escape? Was she caught and brought somewhere else? Or was she…dead? There was no way and impossible to find proof for such things.
When Tang Xia opened her eyes on the second day, she felt a glaring light shining straight into her eyes. She felt that it was too bright, and feeling a little dizzy, she blocked it out with her hand.
She then saw through the gap between her fingers, a maid laying out a meal for her. Tang Xia also noticed that there was a tablet next to the meal.
After the maid finished setting the table, she lowered her head and looked at Tang Xia. “Take note of the information in the tablet.”
Tang Xia was startled. She did not expect that the maid could talk. She thought that the maids were all drugged, and were only able to receive and carry out orders. She did not think that they could talk. However, their speech was very stiff, when they spoke.
After the maid finished giving her the instructions, she went out and locked the room again. Tang Xia remained silent for a while. She looked at the tablet on the floor. She had asked her to take note of the information that popped out on the tablet?
Why must she listen to her? She walked over and threw the tablet aside. She picked up the meal and started eating. She had to eat. Otherwise, where would she get the energy to survive in here?
After taking in two mouthfuls, two messages suddenly popped up on the tablet.
Tang Xia was startled. Just as she was still hesitating whether or not to swallow her food, she found her legs moving on their own accord. She put down the bowl, walked over to the corner and picked up the tablet.
The message on the screen wrote: Li Xianxian, Tang Xia, Zhu Yuanyu…all 8 of you to report to Game Room No. 1.
Tang Xia was confused. What game? Why was this a game again? She then continued to look at the message carefully. Suddenly she became silent and threw the tablet to the corner again. Who cares about the game? She had to eat now. All things would only be possible if she was full!
Just as she was about to finish her food, the door opened suddenly. Tang Xia was startled. A maid came in and frowned instantly. “Why aren’t you dressed yet?”
Tang Xia was a little furious as well. She looked up and frowned at the maid. Why? Was this a changing game?
Why was it that ever since she entered this world, all she did was get changed and prepare to change? She was already very displeased about this.
Especially when she was forced to change into that gown on stage, in front of an audience. She felt like she was being raped and played for a fool.
The maid saw that Tang Xia did not respond and charged towards her immediately.
“Forget it, there’s not enough time anyway.”
The maid rushed forward, grabbed hold of Tang Xia’s elbows and pulled her away forcefully. Tang Xia was still dumbfounded, and had yet to register what was going on. The bowl and chopsticks in her hands were flung onto the floor, when she let go of her hands.
These people were really brutal. This strength did not seem like it was gained from taking the medicine, but they were probably born with it!
When Tang Xia finally realized what was going on, she found herself thrown roughly into a room.
When she looked up, she then realized that the maid had thrown her directly before Chu Tianjiao. He was sitting in the middle of the room.
Girls sat on both sides, in an orderly and organized manner. Everyone’s gaze was focused on Tang Xia, and she suddenly felt very embarrassed, and scratched her head.
Li Xianxian looked at the current state that Tang Xia was in, and immediately said in a teasing and sarcastic tone, “What are you wearing?”
Tang Xia then realized that all the girls were wearing what each of them thought to be the most appealing attire. She then looked at what she was wearing. She was still in her pajamas. But so what?
The pajamas were not exposing her skin, not even her elbows. There was only one man in the Garden of Eden, and that was Chu Tianjiao. Why did she need to dress up so nicely? For the other girls to see? She was not a lesbian.
If Ye Yifan was here, she would happily wear the most beautiful gown, without needing to be told to!
Tang Xia remained silent and looked at Li Xianxian, who was continuously rolling her eyes at her. Tang Xia could not help but laugh.
