Survival Game (Unlimited)

Chapter 5: People who have brains

The flickering light obscured their sights, Yu Su took a dozen seconds before she was able to see the rough shape of the figure .

At first, she thought the one hanging was a man, but after she looked closely, she realized it was actually a short-haired woman .

Her hands were tied behind her, while another rope hung her in mid-air, right above the stove with a huge iron pot .

There was no other movement except for the slight swaying of the body .

Yu Su felt a little relieved after seeing the situation . When the light flashed, she took the opportunity to observe the kitchen .

Excluding the stove, everything else was normal .

Usually, the stove would be placed near the wall, but this stove was placed in the middle of the room . Moreover, because the hotel had a restaurant, there would be some situations when they needed to prepare a lot of meals . This stove, which was very large and long, obviously would inconvenience people if placed in the center of the room .

She was contemplating this when the kitchen’s light returned to normal, yet the short-haired woman hanging in the air didn’t disappear .

Yu Su noticed the woman was facing the door .

Her face… Yu Su wasn’t sure how to describe it . It was as if the woman’s face contained all of the negative emotions in the world . Like she was facing h.e.l.l .

Just looking at it made Yu Su felt very uncomfortable and all the pores in her body felt an indescribable cold .

She didn’t even felt this way when she saw Xue Mei’s tragic corpse .

Why did this short-haired woman show such expression?

Yu Su didn’t dare to continue staring, her eyes moved down to the short-haired woman’s body .

Her neck to her legs were completely intact, without a single wound . If there’s anything strange, it would be the two wooden sticks wrapped around her legs to keep them from bending .

After Yu Su’s eyes landed on her feet, she finally understood why she was showing such a painful and desperate expression .

“Her feet are being cooked . ” w.a.n.g San stated with a staggeringly calm tone .

Yu Su turned to look at him, she incredulously asked, “Was she… being boiled alive?”

The short-haired woman’s expression was too painful, and she was hung right above the iron pot, it wasn’t strange for Yu Su to come into that conclusion .

The woman was hung above the iron pot when she was alive, with her feet submerged into the pot filled with water . As the water gradually became hot, she became more desperate . The pain of her feet slowly being boiled was surely worse than death .

She would be able to sense the temperature change with her feet, and finally, the water would reach the boiling point . She could only helplessly scream in pain while her feet were slowly cooked .

How painful was this torture? It’s comparable to the torture of ancient times .

w.a.n.g San hooked up his lips and smiled with interest, “Although the mission isn’t difficult, the story is very interesting . ” 

Yu Su thought in her heart, You are more interesting than this story . How can you still laugh in this situation?

She coughed and questioned, “So, are we going to get a closer look?”

w.a.n.g San raised his eyebrows, “Do you dare to get inside?”

Yu Su laughed like a traitorous little devil, “Such an important clue, of course we must get itーBig Brother, forward!”

w.a.n.g San’s action was contrary to her expectation, he turned around and walked away . He stated, “Let’s go back to our room and sleep . ” 

Yu Su was at first stunned then she raised her doubt, “We’re not going inside?”

w.a.n.g San didn’t answer her, but went all the way to the hall and stopped in front of the Proprietress’ room . He pointed at the door, “Knock the door . ” 

He wanted her to be cannon fodder again? 

Yu Su burst into tears, “You’re my fiance, right? How can you let your lovely fiancee take the risk? Sob sob sob…”

“Oh,” w.a.n.g San gave a low laugh, his handsome face showed a detestable smile, “Since you’re my fiancee, are we going to sleep on the same bed later?”

“Nevermind, I’ll do it . ” Yu Su resigned herself to fate .

Stinky man who doesn’t understand how to pity the jade! (Have tender heart/compa.s.sion for the fair s.e.x)

Yu Su walked to the front of the door and turned her head to look at w.a.n.g San, making sure he was behind . Then she gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to knock the door .

The small knock on the door was particularly loud on the quiet night .

Yu Su waited, but did not hear any movement coming from inside the room . She turned and looked at w.a.n.g San with some doubts .

w.a.n.g San ordered like a master, “Knock it again . ” 

Really wanted to beat him, ah .  Yu Su visualized the door in front of her as w.a.n.g San’s face and knocked hard three times .

After another ten seconds or so, w.a.n.g San declared, “Okay, let’s go . ” 

Yu Su was dumbfounded, “That’s all?”

 w.a.n.g San stopped in front of the stairs, “What? You want me to carry you up?”

“…” Yu Su couldn’t help but asked, “Were you always like this since you’re small? Have you ever got beaten?”

w.a.n.g San laughed, “I’ve beaten a lot of people . ” 

Okay, you win .  Yu Su didn’t want to talk to him anymore, so she concentrated on her steps as she walked upstairs .

When they returned to their room in tandem, the female ghost alongside the blood on the ground had disappeared . It was as if nothing had ever happened .

The next morning, Yu Su was still dreaming when she was awakened by a knock on the door .

She sat up helplessly . After she heard the faint sound of water coming from the bathroom, She could only pat her sore waist and resentfully got up to open the door .

As soon as the door was open, Li Yi asked with concern, “Did something happen last night?”

Yu Su blinked, shook her head and chuckled, “If something did happen, do you think I can still talk to you right now?”

Zhuang Han was standing behind Li Yi, he quickly inquired, “How did you escape last night? Did you open the door?”

“Mn, we opened the door . ” 

“And then?” Li Yi eagerly asked .

Yu Su shrugged and answered, “Nothing, we just opened the door then slept until morning . ” 

Li Yi smiled and objected, “Impossible . How could it be so simple? Did you find some clues and deliberately not telling us?”

“Miss, it’s not good to slander people without proof . ” Yu Su smiled then turned to walk into the room, showing no intention to continue their conversation .

Li Yi was a little anxious and blurted out, “I saw you and w.a.n.g San entered that room last night then went downstairs . You took at least half an hour before you returned . Don’t tell me you didn’t find anything in that half an hour?!”

Yu Su paused and looked back with surprise expression, “Hey, w.a.n.g San and I thought you didn’t come out to find clues because you were sleeping too soundly . It turned out that…”

She lengthened the last syllable and revealed a meaningful smile .

Zhuang Han, with a guilty conscience, let out a low cough and muttered, “I originally wanted to come out…”

Yu Su was still smiling and said slowly, “It’s easy to find clues in a small hotel . I think you will be able to find some tonight . So I don’t need to tell you, right?”

Zhuang Han was a newcomer, he probably just listened to Li Yi . Yu Su didn’t hold anything against him . But Li Yi apparently used Yu Su and w.a.n.g San as cannon fodder last night .

In case there was any danger outside, only she and w.a.n.g San would die . But if the clues were found safely and smoothly, Li Yi would come over and ask them . She would be getting clues without facing the danger .

Even if w.a.n.g San and her died outside, Li Yi might be able to find some useful clues from their bodies . This was a really good strategy .

Unfortunately, Yu Su wasn’t a fool .

At least, she let them know that opening the door was the correct answer .

Li Yi was mad, she straightened up and complained, “Everyone is on the same team . Sharing clues will let us complete the mission earlier, how can you be so selfish?”

Yu Su snickered and replied, “You’re right, I’ve been selfish since I was a child . I don’t know how many times my mother tried to educate me . But n.o.body is perfect, I can’t change it . ” 

Listening to her nonsense, Li Yi became even more anxious and stamped her foot, “Don’t go off topic! Tell us the clues and we can discuss our future plan accordingly!”

Yu Su really didn’t want to tell them, nevertheless, should she prioritized the overall situation first? While she was hesitating, the bathroom door opened .

w.a.n.g San wiped his wet hair with a towel, stepped out from the bathroom and looked at Yu Su, “We will go out later . ”

Yu Su was temporarily at a loss, “Isn’t it raining outside?” The rain was sharper than a knife .

w.a.n.g San looked at her in dislike, “Look at the window . ” 

Yu Su didn’t pay attention to the window before, she turned her head and saw the clear, cloudless sky outside . The sun was shining brightly .

She even saw the other buildings outside, even though yesterday there was nothing but heavy rain outside the window .

“You want to go out? Let’s go together!” Li Yi exclaimed with extra enthusiasm .

w.a.n.g San looked at her coldly without expression, “I’m going out with my fiancee to play . Why are you going with us? We don’t need a lightbulb . ”  

Li Yi was rejected, she glared at Yu Su and turned to Zhuang Han, “Let’s go!”

Yu Su felt inexplicable . The person who refused her was w.a.n.g San, why did Li Yi glare at her?

Her mouth couldn’t help but twitched . Before she went to the bathroom to wash, she asked w.a.n.g San, “Do you want to tell them the clues we found last night?”

w.a.n.g San gave a low laugh and slowly said, “She wanted to earn profit without working for it, how can there be such a good thing? Now I’ll give you another lessonーIt’s no use to have too many people . What you need is people who have brains . ” 

Therefore, don’t tell them .  

These words were reasonable .

Yu Su nodded repeatedly and flattered, “Big Brother is right! Big Brother is wise!”

w.a.n.g San said coldly, “If only you were born in ancient times, you would definitely be a great eunuch . ” 

Yu Su secretly muttered, Bah, you are the eunuch!

The breakfast was still a porridge dish, but this time Yu Su had no appet.i.te at all . She didn’t even eat a mouthful .

When Yu Su saw the food on the table, she recalled the scene in the kitchen last night . Although the current cooking pot wasn’t that big iron pot, she still felt uncomfortable . Yu Su got the impression that the food was somehow related to the pot that boiled human feet .
