Chapter 35 | _ Leu was on the verge of a mental breakdown Shed imagined todays gathering as a cory meetup in a serene cafe , sipping coffee while catching up .
Naturally .
Noelle , who probably didnt even know how to order coffee , would embarrass herself , giving Leia the perfect chance to subtly undermine her and shine .
But readity had thrown her plans out the window .
se room game The worst part ? Noelle seemed genuinely excited about this ridiculous escape room .
Unwilling to be outdone .
Leia plastered on a bright smile and chimed in .
An escape room ! Ive always wanted to try one , but my family thought in was too intense for me .
Really Connor raised a brow , intrigued .
Leia , you like escape rooms ? You seem so calm and quiet I wouldnt have pegged you as a fan of Leta blinked , feigning a bashful yet playful demeanor , I love exciting games like this ! Im just not very fit , so dont be mad if I slow you down during the escape .
No problem Il stick with you and protect you , Connor offered gallantly .
Thank you .
Leia flashed him a sweet smile before glancing expectantly at Harley .
Harley , lets do our best together ! Harley spared her a brief glance .
Noelle and I will be moving quickly we cant afford to linger on each floor .
You and Connor can catch up at your own pace .
Leias smile faltered Whats the point of playing this stupid game if I cant be with Harley ? Connor , sensing the tension , laughed and teased Harley , Hey , before you went abroad , didnt you get knocked out on the tenth floor in this game ? Planning to clear all fifteen this time ? Of course Harley smirked coolly , How many people have completed it since Ive been gone ! Not many probably fewer than five .
But last year , some genius cleared it in 37 minutes , setting the fastest record ever Not even an hour ? Harley raised a brow , genuinely impressed He glanced at Noelle , his expression turning competitive .
Noelle , well have to step it up .
Pifft , ray Noelle scoffed , glancing up at the towering building Fifteen floors ? I break that record in 30 minutes .
Whoa , Noelles amazing ! Connor cheered , clearly entertained .
Leia pulled her eyes internally .
Shes all talk Nearby : other participants overheard Noelles bold claim .
Did you hear that ! That girl says shell clear it in 20 minutes ! Hah ! Anyour can talk big those skinny arms and legs ! Shell be lucky to make it past five floors Generous .
Im betting she barely clear three A gumabot echoed through the air The hosts voice rang out Participants , please gather at your respective em entrances .
When the signal gun fires again , the e escape begins ! The crowd dispersed to their designated starting points .
a fugitive is caught and forced to Each floor of the Facape Gaine is filled with obstacles , and the ruthless butchers appear out of nowhere .
Once a fugitive wear a tracker , theyre climinated from the gamır .
The difficulty increases with each floor , and the main challenge lies in dealing with the butchers .
1/3 Chapter 35 Regular staff members played the butcher on the lower floors , but as the floors climbed higher , the actors portraying the butcher became more formidable These roles were often taken by tough guys , retired special forces soldiers , and hulking strongmen .
Escaping from their grasp was no easy feat At the sound of the second gunshot , the host announced , Escape begins now ! The participants surged toward the staircases like a tidal wave Leia barely had time to react before she was nearly knocked over by the rushing crowd .
Carefull Connor steadied her just in time .
Thanks , Lesa said , breathless , before scanning the throng .
Wheres Harley ? Theyre already way ahead What the Noelles so fast ? Before Les could fully process Connors words , a burst of confe i erupted nearby .
The hosts excited voice boomed through the speakers : First floor clearance ! Time : 12 seconds and 54 milliseconds What the hell ! Thats insane ! Who did that ? Some tiny girl .
She slipped past the butcher before he could react ! Must ve been a fluke .
The murmurs of the crowd were constant and buzzing Connor , however , smiled confidently and said , Its definitely Noelle : No way Lea , who had climbed the stairs with Connor , retorted in disbelief .
Connor raised an eyebrow at Leia and said , Theres nothing impossible about it .
Your sister is incredible more than you could ever imagine .
Leia couldnt help but think Connor was losing his mind .
Earlier , when he greeted Noelle , she didnt even recognize him , yet here he was acting as if he knew her well .
It was all too fake .
Breaking through the first floor was easy enough As Connor and Lea made it to the second floor , the fireworks went off again .
The host excitedly announced , The first person to break through the fifth floor No way .
We just got to the second floor , and someones already made it it to People around them started to murmur in surprise .
Unbelievable : That were the butchers doing ! Just watching someone pass through has emerged , in 3 minutes and 46 seconds to the fifth ? Theard the persons really skilled none of the butchers on the lower floors were e Letsser low last they can keep going when they reach the higher flours even a match .
By the time they hit the truth floor , the number of people breaking through dwindled .
Vith fewer contestants , the butchers were able to focus their efforts more and catch them one by one .
Leia , being physically inept , was already winded by the time they reached the second floor .
Normally , she would have taken the elevator or escalator , but climbing the stairs had her panting by the second floor .
2/3 9:28 AM c Chapter 35 If it werent for Connor , shed have probably quit at the first floor .
As she huffed her way up to the third floor , the hosts excited voice rang out again .
The first person to break through the tenth floor has emerged .
in 8 minutes and 17 seconds .

Noelles absolutely killing it .
little girl As Noelle kept breaking records , the chatter around them never stopped .
Lela , annoyed , couldnt understand why people were making such a big deal .
So what if she set a new record ? Everyone was acting like it was the end of the world .
As Leia was stewing in her thoughts , a large , dark figure wearing a leather headpiece suddenly charged in front of her , carrying a rusted , massive ave on his back exactly like the terrifying butcher from the game .
Leia screamed in fright .
Oh my God ! The butchers here ! Run ! The crowd scattered i in all directions .
Connor shouted , Leia , run ! But Leias legs were too weak to move .
She couldnt even manage to flee , let alone run .
Connor tried to save her , but he was grabbed by the butcher 100.
Both of them were quickly tagged with the tracker and eliminated from the game .
Just then , the hosts triumphant voice echoed from the top floor .
