Su Kyun suddenly opened his eyes and found himself in complete darkness.
There was a strange atmosphere around him, and the sound of water dripping could be heard.
It sounded like a faucet that wasn't tightly closed...
Suddenly, a cracking sound echoed, and the entire place lit up. What Su Kyun saw was an abandoned room. The wooden bed next to him was covered in moss and dirt. It was clear that the humidity here was extreme. At that moment, he suddenly noticed an electronic wristband on his arm.
The wristband blinked with light.
Without thinking, Su Kyun pressed the glowing button, and a virtual video suddenly appeared.
A very mysterious man dressed in black, with his face covered, spoke enthusiastically:
"Welcome to the Escape Game, a game that combines adventure and survival."
"And you will be among the lucky chosen ones."
"All the lucky ones chosen are those who died unexpectedly."
"You've been given a chance for a new life—surviving in this game."
"Remember, this game will be broadcast live nationally."
"In other words, your family, friends, and relatives will likely be watching you live on screen."
"So, enjoy!"
"Tips to complete the game are hidden around you."
After that, a whistling sound was heard, and the virtual video disappeared.
Then, Su Kyun saw his personal attribute information on the electronic wristband.
[Player: Su Kyun Suk]
[Current approvals: 0]
[Current followers: 0]
[Items currently owned: 0]
[Current skills: 0]
[...]
Anyway, there was a lot of data, but he had nothing at the moment. He was in a completely beginner state.
However, when Su Kyun turned around, his eyes suddenly lit up as he saw a hemp rope on the table in the room, although he wasn't sure if this item would be used later.
But the introduction video just now mentioned risks for survival, logical thinking to overcome levels, etc.
Maybe it's similar to those logical games he used to play, so this hemp rope might be an essential item.
Right now...
Suddenly, Su Kyun heard movement outside the room.
He went outside and took a look, and was surprised to find himself in a very large house, a two-story villa.
There were two people on the upper floor, a man and a woman.
There were three people on the first floor, including him—two men and one woman.
In other words, there were now five people in this room. It seemed everyone had just watched the video and knew what was happening.
At this moment, a bold girl said:
"It seems that the necessary clues to pass the level are scattered around us."
Her eyes flickered with a signal, and then she grabbed a pair of scissors and said:
"I found this in the room, what about you?"
"I have a handkerchief here," said another girl, beautiful and wearing a skirt, trembling a little. "What should we do? Did we all die?"
At that moment, an older man in his thirties spoke in a low voice:
"Clearly, everyone has died."
"Otherwise, it would have been impossible to appear in such a haunted place without a reason. I just saw it."
"There is no exit at all. The only exits are the door on the first floor and the window of the room."
"But they are all nailed shut."
Suddenly, in the middle of the hallway, there was a clicking sound.
An mechanism was triggered, and suddenly, a time bomb appeared.
Everyone was immediately filled with panic.
Su Kyun could only swallow a sip of water. The countdown timer read one hour, which meant everyone had to find a way to escape in just one hour.
At this moment, they didn't realize that the space they were in was being broadcast live to the outside world.
There was an explosion in the live broadcast room.
[This is horrifying. Are they really dead?]
"Oh my God, I just checked the news. The girl in the skirt jumped to her death."
"It seems true. This live broadcast room is really strange. It just appeared on my phone for no reason."
[Yes, yes, mine too, there's an additional prompt to watch the live broadcast for no reason.]
[This is kind of exciting!]
[The countdown to the bomb is one hour to see if they can solve the puzzle.]
There were already tens of thousands of people in the live broadcast room at this moment, as this strange live broadcast app had many different live rooms, with each room containing a different game.
And the chosen players were also different, with hundreds of live broadcast rooms.
There were tens of thousands of people watching their live broadcast room right now. Despite that, due to its shocking nature, the viewership was extremely high.
Internet users also showed their magical powers to identify the deceased.
This person, Su Kyun, was the one they were looking for.
His identity became a mystery, and everyone in the live broadcast room had an inexplicable feeling of anticipation toward this man.
