Chapter 289
It was weird–why did the ghosts only target Isabella but not her?
Even the hanged ghoul and the drowned ghost earlier were glued to Isabella, barely giving her a glance. Did she seem more fearless?
Suddenly, an ominous alarm blared from the cave’s sound system–To save your teammate, you must complete the following tasks— within 10 minutes, or you will face punishment together.
Task 1: Solve three Rubik’s Cubes blindfolded
Task 2: Answer three questions
Completing these tasks in just 10 minutes seemed nearly impossible. Was the show’s crew upping the ante?
But she relished impossible challenges.
Isabella was dragged into a cage by two Sadakos, nearly fainting with fear, her eyes rolling back in her head.
In the nick of time, she saw Xanthea step out from the shadows, approaching the answer board and choosing-“Save Your Teammate”
She came back?
To save her?
In that instant, a spark lit in her eyes, looking at her as if she were a savior.
She had never seemed so wam, so charming, and so radiant.
Xanthea stood in front of the fluorescent screen, her eyes covered with a black blindfold, her slender fingers swiftly solving three Rubik’s Cubes, then quickly moving on to the three questions.
On the live chat, millions of viewers cheered for Xanthea’s brilliant intellect and bravery.
[Wow! Solved three R Rubik’s Cubes in 5 minutes blindfolded, is she a genius or what?]I haven’t even Googled the answers yet, and she’s already written them down, total boss movel]
Fans thank Xanthea for saving our girl! No one knows better than us how scared she is of ghosts! People calling her pretentious in the chat are just too mean!] [Seeing her breeze through these challenges is so satisfying, it’s like she’s stomping the production team’s IQ into the ground.].
*Congratulations, you’ve passed all tasks, with a total time of 8 minutes and 11 seconds!”
After Xanthea answered the last question and hit the submit button, she didn’t realize that all of this was being closely watched by a pair of eyes in the darkness.
As the system notification sounded, a “click” echoed as the cage imprisoning Isabella unlocked, who flew towards Xanthea Eke a freed bird, “Xanthea, thank you, thank you, really, thank you”
It was unclear if she was crying from fear due to the Sadakos or from being moved by Xanthea’s actions. Her face was blurred with
tears
Xanthea, stunned by the crying, felt she should say something comforting, but before she could speak, she noticed a Queen crown lighting up behind her.
“The Queen crown is out, did we beat the game?!”
“Isabella, we did it!”
Xanthea pushed her aside, joyfully rushing to grab the Queen crown.
But just as she started to run, she was abruptly pulled back by a strong force into a secret room.
“Xanthes, Xanthear
isabella, terrified, pounded on the door of the secret room.
The cameraman was also confused, the door to the room was closed, and he couldn’t film anymore.
“Ah! What the hell, let me go!”
As soon as Xanthea entered the secret room, a massive “ghost” gmbbed her from behind, awkwardly with his arm across her chest, uncomfortably squishing her. Was this NPC taking advantage of her?!.
