Chapter 1304
“Attention, gamers,” the voice boomed. “On screen you can see four familiar insects – a butterfly, a
firefly, a moth, and a dragonfly, each secured in separate boxes. Can you guess which creature is in
the box before you?”
Only one box lay in front of them, demanding them to pick one insect out of the four.
“You’ve got five minutes, starting now. 60, 59, 58…”
Robin instinctively glanced at Scarface Man, who was attentively listening to the answer.
Suddenly, the white doors of the backstage viewing area swung open, and a group of men dressed in
black stormed in.

In the center, a man walked briskly, his mask marked with the numbers 1-2.
It was the first time Mr. Nine seen the founder of the game, and his eyes darkened as 1-2 made his
entrance.
After 1-2 appeared, the surveillance in the gaming area paused or Scarface Man.
“Who invited this man?”
“It was me,” Mr. Quartus nonchalantly replied, rising from his seat.
1-2 was dressed in a black protective suit, his whole body well covered. Yet, the deadly cold aura he
exuded was palpable.

“2-7 accused you of interfering the game, Mr. Quartus. Please, come-with me.”
2-7 actually made 1-2 personally went down to address the matter.
Without haste, Mr. Quartus glanced at 2-7, stepped off the stage, and extended his hands.
The men in black following 1-2 handcuffed Mr. Quartus and led him away…
Before he exited, Mr. Quartus turned back, casting a glance at Mr. Nine. Both of them were masked,
their expressions hidden, yet a silent understanding passed between them.
With Mr. Quartus taken away, Scarface Man’s cover was blown. The game in the lower level was over.
Watching Mr. Quartus’ retreating figure, Mr. Nine slowly clenched the fingers resting on his knee…
Since 1-2 came from the upper level to the middle, he had to make an impact.
He didn’t leave immediately but took over the laptop handed by the men in black. In front of everyone,
he started coding.
Within five minutes, he completely changed the game. The content of the boxes was also swiftly
replaced according to his programming, which meant the information Scarface Man had received
beforehand was all wrong.
Mr. Nine unclenched his fist and stood up.
1-2 engrossed in coding didn’t even glance up.
“Anyone who leaves the viewing area will be shot immediately!”
“Understood!”
The men in black following him drew their guns from their belts, pointing at the onlookers.
After 1-2 finished, he closed the laptop and turned around, his gaze meeting Mr. Nine’s through the
heavy mask…
“1-3 said you’re quite good. Don’t disappoint me.” His voice was mechanical.
Mr. Nine couldn’t discern anything from his voice or face. But these words from 1-2 stirred doubt in him.
He had never met 1-3, so why would 1-3 say he was good?
Do they all know him?
Instead of knowing who the three founders were, Mr. Nine was now more worried about the game in
the lower level.
After 1-2 rebooted the surveillance, he stared at the screen with cold eyes.
Scarface Man had, indeed, received the previous information and was also unaware that the game had
been rewritten.
Following the old information, he informed Robin and Eleanor, and then was the first to press the
selection button.
This time, the doors of life and death was not on the wall, but beneath their feet.
They stood on a large circular symbol.
They didn’t know its purpose initially. But now, they understood.
Because the moment Scarface Man pressed the selection button, the words ‘Death Door’ appeared on

The symbol suddenly opened, and Scarface Man fell before he could react!
“Ah-” Scarface Man’s scream filled the air as Robin lunged to grab him, but he was too quick to catch.
Helplessly, he watched as Scarface Man disappeared into a sea of snakes.
Yes, the punishment for the seventh round was to be swallowed alive by snakes!
Eleanor, kneeling on the ground, paled as she looked down at the writhing mass of snakes, instinctively
thinking of Caleb.
Evan had said that Caleb died for Bernard in the snake pit during the seventh game. She had not
understood how that was possible until she saw it firsthand.
The sight of Scarface Man struggling and screaming in the snake pit overlapped with the image of
Caleb in her mind, and she imagined him being engulfed by the towering pile of snakes…
She saw countless snakes coiling around Scarface Man’s neck, strangling him before they slithered
into his wide-open eyes…
The horrific sight made Eleanor sob uncontrollably, her body shaking with fear. Caleb… was this how
he had died too?
The thought was too much to bear. The mere idea of such a gruesome scene made her cry harder.
Amidst her sobs, the cold electronic voice resonated mercilessly-
“Ten seconds remaining. Make your choice quickly, players, or the Death Door will open for everyone,
and you’ll all end up in the snake pit!”
