Capítulo 1994: Chapter 892: Escape from Death (Part 2)
Lin Baici grumbled.
“Eat the little cake in front of you, and use its finger bone as a key, and you can open the door and get out!”
Gu Qingqiu noticed Lin Baici’s body tense up imdiately, like a protagonist in a horror movie witnessing a murderer break in.
‘This joke isn’t funny!’
Lin Baici squinted his eyes, his gaze calm yet chilling: ‘If I only need a finger, there are so many people here, I could pick anyone!’
Even if it required chopping off a finger from soone as powerful as Raphael or Kreiser, he would do it.
“Just kidding!”
“It’s not that troubleso!”
“As long as this sealed room fills with water, in ten minutes, you just need to turn the wheel handle to the right, all the way to open the door!”
Lin Baici had just checked that tal door; apart from the keyhole, there was also a wheel-like handle, which was also part of the lock.
“There are quite a lot of traps!”
Lin Baici muttered.
Generally, for designs like screw caps and bottle tops, turning clockwise, towards the right, is to lock tight, and turning left is to open.
This door lock’s design is actually very tricky.
Who would normally think to turn it ‘tight’? And you still have to wait ten minutes.
Not to ntion whether a person can hold their breath underwater that long, after ten minutes, they’d probably be in despair and wouldn’t even think to turn that wheel handle.
But after getting the hint from the Eater God, Lin Baici sorted out his thoughts.
This is a magic trick, ant to thrill the audience.
That ten minutes underwater is actually just continuously squeezing the audience’s emotions, making them feel the magician is going to fail, going to die, and then at the peak of this emotion, the dying magician suddenly turns the wheel handle the other way, opens the locked door, and escapes to safety.
At that mont, the audience’s tension is released, and applause and cheers are naturally offered.
“Qingqiu, get ready, we’re going to the door!”
Lin Baici grabbed Gu Qingqiu’s wrist, facing the door, recalling the shortest path to swim and the positions of the double beds that had beco obstacles.
The distance between the water surface and the ceiling was only ten centiters, and at this rising speed, in less than ten minutes, the sealed room would be completely filled.
Lin Baici waited here to assess the situation, to decide later whether to turn on the light, but now with the Eater God’s hint, it was unnecessary, they could move ahead of ti.
“Ready anyti!”
Gu Qingqiu didn’t say anything pretentious like you don’t have to worry about , I can swim over myself; at this mont, she decided to rely on Lin Baici.
The two imdiately started moving.
Swimming in the dark in an unfamiliar underwater environnt to a fixed point, to be honest, is very challenging and quite creepy. Fortunately, Gu Qingqiu wasn’t the type to scream hysterically when scared.
Following Lin Baici, she took five minutes to swim back to the door.
By this ti, the water surface was only a thumb’s height away from the ceiling.
Xia Hongyao raised her chin up as high as possible, communicating with Lin Baici.
“What next?”
“Be patient and wait!”
Lin Baici instructed: “Don’t move around, just wait here.”
Hua Yue Yu wanted to talk to Lin Baici, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn’t notice, and clear water poured into her mouth and flowed down her throat.
Cough, cough!
Hua Yue Yu choked.
“Small Fish? Stop talking!”
Lin Baici soothed: “And Ying Zhen, Hongyao, Yintong, I’m right here, trust , in no more than ten minutes, I’ll definitely get you all out!”
Lin Baici didn’t give the White River Dolphin’s Tooth to Hua Yue Yu.
Although the environnt was dark, Lin Baici could find her, but the issue was if he took care of her, Goryeo Sister would certainly have thoughts!
Sigh!
Having many won is troubleso too; if you can’t handle it evenly, the ho front will catch fire!
“Why don’t you care about ?”
San Miyairi’s tone was resentful.
“Eri, don’t cause trouble!”
Lin Baici felt overwheld.
“I could have your child too!”
San Miyairi was just teasing Lin Baici to relieve boredom.
Cough, cough!
Suzuka Tetsuo was choked; is this cold, ruthless Eri I know?
What charm does this Jiuzhou Man have that could make Eri say sothing like this?
“Hell no, I’m still a kid myself!”
Lin Baici was helpless.
“I’ve never seen any kid as big as you!”
San Miyairi imdiately retorted.
“Damn!”
Lin Baici, in his anxiety, cursed.
So big for what?
Don’t spread rumors and ruin my reputation!
“Is this so kind of code?”
Xia Hongyao tried to figure it out, thinking Lin Baici and San Miyairi might have discovered so clues but didn’t want Kreiser and Raphael to hear, so they communicated like this.
After thinking for a while, Xia Hongyao gave up.
No way,
Just inexplicable!
In the darkness, no one spoke, and the sound of water almost disappeared because the water surface already subrged the outlets at the four corners of the ceiling.
Without the difference in height, naturally, there was no splashing sound.
Lin Baici faced upwards, took one last deep breath, then subrged in the water. To conserve energy, he sat cross-legged, slowly settling in front of the door.
So were definitely dissatisfied, but in this environnt, even cursing couldn’t co out; once you open your mouth, it fills with water.
Lin Baici silently counted the ti.
At 62 seconds, Kreiser swam up, turned the door handle, and even pounded it with his hand, after tinkering with it for a while to no avail, he swam away again.
As expected of the man with the title of Sea Emperor, his swimming style was sleek and graceful, just like a sea fish, moving freely in the water as if back ho!
