Everyone's eyes were focused on the direction Bertha was looking at, and they saw her slumped on the ground, looking at a place in the distance with a horrified expression.
Just follow her gaze...
"Sssshhh..."
Everyone involuntarily sucked in a sharp breath!
There, lying in a sprawled position on the ground, was a body with its limbs forming the shape of a large character. The blood around the body had not completely dried, emanating a strong smell of blood!
People wanted to see what the person looked like, but his head seemed to have been smashed into a bloody mess, brains and crimson blood mingling together, pooling on the ground!
The entire body of the corpse was facing towards the door, and in his right hand, tightly clenched, was a bloody key.
Not far from him, lay a rusty, blood-stained saw!
However, what caught Bristol's attention on the body was not the gruesome death but the ankles!
Bristol noticed that, like everyone else, this body was also chained at the ankles!
Of course, everyone else quickly noticed the chains on the ankles of the body!
But what terrified everyone the most was that the ankle of this corpse, chained like the rest of them, had been completely severed!
The mangled foot with the bloody stump lay abandoned not far away, isolated and alone!
This sight sent shivers down everyone's spines!
"It seems like this was the player from the last round who failed," Arlene said with a furrowed brow, her voice filled with concern.
However, she couldn't shake off the strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't understand why the corpse of the player from the last round would appear in this room!
After all, the Death Game had no fixed starting time, nor did it have a fixed game location. Moreover, each time, the rookie players faced different challenges that had never been the same!
"Could it be that Billy Doll intentionally moved it here to increase the horror of the room?" Arlene wondered silently, but she also felt that it didn't quite fit Billy Doll's style!
The audience in the live broadcast room, seeing the scene clearly on the big screen, became extremely excited, starting to comment and speculate.
"Woah! Is this the player from the last round? What a terrible way to die!"
"The insulation in the room seems pretty good, the body hasn't completely decayed!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Didn't expect Billy to have a penchant for collecting bodies!"
"I think these players are in trouble this round. They're all locked up with iron chains, how are they going to find clues now!"
[This is going to starve these players to death if it continues like this!]
Inside the Death Tower, Bristol scanned the rest of the room. There were no furniture or facilities, making the large room feel especially empty.
The tiles on the floor were all covered in messy bloodstains, reminding everyone that something extraordinary had happened here.
The walls were yellowed, with many crimson bloodstains, as if splattered blood had left its mark, a chilling sight to behold!
Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing in the room was an old, decrepit bathtub, filled with murky liquid!
Arlene was chained near the bathtub, by the pipes.
Not far from the bathtub was a toilet emitting a foul stench.
Edgar, chained nearby, looked disgusted, covering his mouth and nose with one hand, trying to avoid the nauseating smell.
Billy Doll's signature laughter echoed through the entire room!
Everyone's hearts tightened, knowing that it would soon appear in this room!
And indeed!
A swirl of green smoke rose, and from the mist, Billy Doll's figure gradually solidified from a shadow into a terrifying reality!
"Let's begin," the now solid Billy Doll said with a sinister tone, then surveyed the room and finally locked eyes with Bristol.
"The rules of this round are simple, find the key to unlock the iron chains on your feet and you can leave."
"The door is open for you."
As everyone followed Billy Doll's gaze, they noticed that the previously tightly closed door had opened at some point. Beyond the door was pitch black darkness, with a few faint twinkling stars.
"A friendly reminder, your hope of getting out is right in front of you."
Billy Doll's sharp, terrifying voice paused for two seconds, then continued:
"You better act fast, or you'll end up like him."
Billy Doll gestured towards the body on the floor.
Then, with an incredibly sinister smile, Billy Doll looked at everyone and said mockingly:
"I wonder whose head can withstand the impact of a 100-kilogram meteor hammer?"
After that, Billy Doll said no more, but walked to a corner of the room, silently watching Bristol.
Billy Doll suddenly felt a bit closer to Bristol for some reason.
However, Billy Doll quickly suppressed this thought and continued to quietly watch everyone.
Little did Bristol, not far away, know that its skills were working wonders on Billy Doll.
In fact, Billy Doll originally had a slight admiration for Bristol, so its skills worked smoothly on it like a warm spring breeze!
When the audience in the live stream heard the rules explained by Billy Doll, they started flooding the chat!
[Is it that simple? Just open the iron chain and you can enter the next room?]
[I think it's quite difficult! Haven't you seen how thick the iron chain is? Without a key, it definitely won't open!]
[Oh no, this time Bristol is stuck in place, can it still come up with a solution?]
[The one upstairs, you have to have confidence in Brother Bristol, if he can't do it, the game is over!]
[Exactly! Bristol might just use magic to conjure up a key later!]
"Ticking... Ticking..."
The countdown sound rang out again, and everyone began searching for the key within their movable range!
Arlene looked at the bathtub full of sewage, the putrid smell twisting her originally beautiful eyebrows into a frown.
But she didn't hesitate to reach her slender, delicate arm into it, bowing her head earnestly in search.
"If there's a key, it must have sunk to the bottom of the tub. If I drain the water, I'll be able to see it clearly."
Arlene thought to herself, then bent her slender waist at a greater angle, quickly feeling the icy, hard bottom of the bathtub.
She swiftly groped to the plunger at the bathtub's drain, and with a gentle tug, Arlene pulled it out!
At the moment the plug was pulled out, Arlene felt a terrifying electric current rapidly flowing into her body from the water! "Ah!"
Arlene let out a scream, feeling a massive shockwave effect directly propelling her!
If it weren't for the restraint of the iron chain, Arlene might have flown out three meters!
She landed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!
Bristol stood in place, originally intending to check the location of the key.
However, this sudden loud noise drew his attention to Arlene lying on the ground!
