The key is right before your eyes
Bristol glanced at Edgar indifferently, a cold smirk playing at the corner of his mouth:
"Why should I save you?"
Edgar was taken aback by Bristol's response, his face contorted with anger as he replied:
"We are companions! Are you going to stand by and watch me die?"
Bristol looked at him, a hint of coldness in his expression, but said nothing.
This made Edgar panic!
He could tell that if Bristol had the key, he would not save him! Looking at Bristol's indifferent demeanor, regret filled Edgar's heart!
No!
For the sake of survival, I can do anything!
I absolutely cannot die here!
A fierce determination flashed in Edgar's eyes as he made a shocking decision!
He turned to face Bristol, and with a "plop," knelt down on the ground!
"Bristol, I was wrong, I have been too disrespectful to you before!
I kneel before you now, please forgive me!"
At this point, Edgar had completely abandoned his dignity, continuing to cry and plead:
"Bristol, I know you must have a way to unlock the chains on our feet!
As long as you can do it, I am willing to be your little brother for life!
I know you must have a way, Bristol!
Please, I beg you, tell me!"
Everyone in the room was stunned by the scene unfolding before them!
No one expected Edgar to kneel down and beg Bristol for help!
The viewers in the live stream were also completely stunned by Edgar's unexpected move, and the barrage of comments started flooding in!
[This guy finally sees the light, good, he has some understanding!]
[I remember in the last room he was acting all high and mighty towards Bristol, now he's eating his own words!]
[Look at him, acting all cowardly, not knowing the value of a man's dignity!]
[Upstairs, I feel like you're missing a few brain cells!]
[Exactly, he's not kneeling to just anyone, it's Bristol, the godlike figure!]
In the room, Edgar knelt on the ground, continuously expressing his loyalty to Bristol.
Watching Edgar, with snot and tears streaming down his face, Bristol felt speechless.
He finally understood why someone like Edgar could survive for so long!
Because he was shameless, without limits!
Then Bristol looked at the timer and realized there wasn't much time left.
So he turned his gaze to Bertha and said seriously:
"Bertha, go pick up the key from the hand of that corpse and try it. It might unlock our chains."
Upon hearing Bristol's words, Bertha hesitated slightly, a hint of fear in her eyes.
Although it was just a corpse, Bertha's heart was still filled with fear!
She was absolutely terrified to go and get the key!
Bertha looked at Bristol, her eyes pleading, with a slight trembling in her voice:
"Bristol, I can't do it, I really can't go."
"Then are you willing to just wait here to die?"
Bristol's calm words contained no emotion, but they sent a chill down Bertha's spine!
Bertha's heart couldn't help but waver. What if that key was real?
There was a glimmer of hope if she went to get it, but if she didn't, she would just be waiting for death!
"Tick... Tock..."
The countdown to death became especially clear at this moment!
Arlene, upon hearing Bristol's words, looked thoughtfully at the corpse in the room!
She felt like her brain had been ignoring something important all along!
What could it be?
On the large screen outside, the barrage of comments was already flying!
[Oh my! Why are you so timid! What's there to be afraid of in a dead body!]
[Bristol has said it, that key is the key to the door, so hurry up and get it!]
[These players, really! Can't use their brains! Running an errand is so difficult!]
[I'm telling you, without these hindrances, Bristol probably would have already left the death tower!]
Looking at the corpse in front of her, Arlene suddenly remembered the warm reminder from Billy Doll!
The key is right in front of us!
Arlene finally understood!
She gently slapped her forehead and exclaimed in regret:
"Such an important clue, and I've been ignoring it all this time!"
Then she looked at Bertha, solemnly saying:
"Bertha, go for it. Bristol hasn't lied to you!
Don't you remember Billy Doll's hint?
The key is right in front of us!
The key in the hand of that corpse is right in front of each and every one of us!"
The audience in the live stream room, upon hearing Arlene's explanation, also understood completely!
[Oh my god! Didn't expect this! The goddess not only has looks but also brains!]
[Well done, well done! This is the first time someone has guessed Bristol's intention. Well taught!]
[I have to say, Bristol is really amazing. If he hadn't said anything, Arlene wouldn't have thought of it!]
[The one above makes sense! Compared to other players, Arlene is really outstanding!]
In the room, Bristol was slightly surprised to hear Arlene's words. He hadn't expected Arlene to figure it all out so quickly.
"It seems she's not too stupid,"
Bristol thought to himself as he looked at Arlene.
Bertha, after hearing Arlene's explanation, still found it a bit unbelievable!
But this was the only hope at the moment, so she mustered up her courage and headed over there!
She cautiously approached the hand of the corpse holding the key, then crouched down.
Bertha knew that the mangled head was right in front of her!
She tried her best to turn her head away, unable to directly face the sight in front of her!
Then, trembling, Bertha reached out her right hand towards the key held by the corpse.
Finally, she touched the key, the icy cold sensation making her feel a bit numb inside.
Bertha tightly gripped the key, trying to pull it out.
But no matter how hard she tried, the key remained unmoved in the hand of the corpse.
Bertha stood up slightly, using all her strength to pull it backward!
Finally, the key was pulled out, and Bertha, due to inertia, plopped down on the ground!
She used her other hand to support herself, trying to stand up, but felt her hand touch something sticky!
"Ah!"
Bertha screamed in horror!
Then she quickly wiped her hand on her clothes, running to the side and retching!
