Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

Chapter 612 No Survivors 8
"Jiang... Consultant Jiang..."

Chi Qiuping's voice was trembling unnaturally, and she stammered, "Fish...fish...how, how come there is one more?!"

"what?!"

After hearing this, Jiang Lai couldn't help but be surprised.

Chi Qiuping was so frightened by this sudden change that she felt weak all over.

"There's an extra fish... Oh my god! How could there be an extra fish?! Did I make a mistake when I was feeding the fish just now... Consultant Jiang, what should I do? Am I... Am I going to die..."

"No. Calm down and listen to me..." Jiang Lai said anxiously.

She knew that if she didn't come up with a solution quickly, even if Chi Qiuping didn't fall into the pool and face the threat of the piranhas, she would still collapse due to the overload of negative status.

"Pick up the bucket and let me see." Jiang Lai said as she leaned against the transparent glass between her and Chi Qiuping, trying to observe the situation in the bucket.

However, at this moment, Chi Qiuping's negative status was equivalent to being filled up directly.

"No! It's useless, it's useless! Grid number five is about to be opened... It's over, it's all over!"

"Don't give up hope! You must believe in yourself! Didn't you just do exactly what I said? In that case, there will be no problem now!" Jiang Lai shouted to Chi Qiuping anxiously, trying his best to help her calm down.

"Maybe... the extra little fish is the key that allows you to leave this glass cage?" Jiang Lai said.

Chi Qiuping's eyes lit up when she heard this.

However, the hope in her eyes was soon shattered.

"Even if there is a small fish in this bucket that is the key, so what? There are six small fish in this bucket! How do I know which fish is the damn key!" Chi Qiuping said hysterically.

Under the influence of impending death, her fear had overwhelmed everything, so that she could not even care about managing her image in front of the great god No. 00009, even in front of Consultant Jiang, whom she respected the most.

"Chi Qiuping, calm down and listen to me! I want you to pour all the fish in that bucket into grid number five. You have to believe in yourself, what you did before must be right! Only in this way can you have a chance to survive!"

Jiang Lai's calling of her name caused Chi Qiuping's body to tremble violently, as if she was awakened by the sound of a bell.

"Okay! Then I'll give it a try!"

After saying that, she poured all the fish in the bucket into grid number five.

At that moment, both Chi Qiuping who was trapped in the glass cage and Jiang Lai who was standing outside the cage, couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.

After Chi Qiuping poured all the small fish into grid number five, the piranhas in grid number five immediately rushed forward to scramble for food. Their behavior seemed no different from the piranhas in the other eight grids.

Jiang Lai and Chi Qiuping, who were concentrating on watching all the movements in the pond, soon noticed that there was a small fish that did not fall into the fight among the piranhas, but fell all the way down to the deeper part of the pond.

After the piranhas had finished eating the five small fish, after the piranhas had eaten their fill, they dispersed and sank to the depths of the pond, and after the water in the pond became clear again, the glass of the fifth grid was still not closed!
Not only that, a series of bubbles appeared at the bottom of the pond!
"Squeaky..."

The sound of a series of mechanisms turning seemed a bit dull due to the obstruction of the pool water.

The rotating mechanism created a series of bubbles. Then, a platform about ten centimeters square appeared in the fifth grid.

On the platform there is a golden three-legged toad with a blue key in its mouth.

After Chi Qiuping got the blue key, the situation was the same as Jiang Lai's after he found the key. Not only did she find the keyhole that she couldn't see before, she also completely got rid of her previous negative state.

She inserted the key into the keyhole.

There was a strange creaking sound, and the door of the blue glass cage was opened, and Chi Qiuping finally regained her freedom.

Chi Qiuping, whose life was no longer in danger for the time being, was extremely grateful that she was assigned to the same group as Jiang Lai during the group investigation.

"Consultant Jiang, thank you so much. If you hadn't arrived in time and helped me so much, I... I might have died..."

"Don't say that. We are teammates and partners who trust each other. Besides, didn't you help me when I was being hunted by those foreign killers before?" Jiang Lai said with a smile.

"Let's go and leave here. I think other people might be facing the same crisis as us. Now that the two of us are safe, let's take action quickly and save people." Jiang Lai said.

Chi Qiuping, who had just been freed from a difficult situation, knew that saving people was a matter that naturally required every second counts.

After all, every second they delay means their teammates will be in danger for another second.

The two of them rushed out of room 405.

"Advisor Jiang, where should we look for other people?" Chi Qiuping asked.

The urgency of wanting to save other teammates made her temporarily forget the fear of being dominated by negative status.

Jiang Lai thought for a moment and said, "I don't know where the others are. However, I can sense that when Deputy Director Chu was talking to us, he was not too far away from us. So, I estimate that he and Fu Qiming are probably in one of the three rooms, 204, 205, or 206."

"Well, then let's go down and find them first." Chi Qiuping said.

Jiang Lai nodded in agreement.

The two girls began to walk up the narrow stairs to the second floor.

As Jiang Lai walked, he briefly told Chi Qiuping what he had just experienced.

"So, the areas with colors that may cause us to have negative states are not limited to those rooms separated by doors. Corridors, stairs, and even certain areas in the hall may become color areas." Jiang Lai said: "And we cannot guarantee whether the colors of all areas will change."

"Ah, what I mean is... although the room 405 we just entered is a blue area, the next time we enter that room, it may not be a blue area, right?" Chi Qiuping analyzed along Jiang Lai's line of thought.

Jiang Lai nodded again.

As they were talking, the two girls had already reached the second floor.
