A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1297

Chapter 1297

Compared to the spectators above, who were lounging in comfortable armchairs, the players below, referred to as the ‘underworld gaming zone’, were frantically toggling between keys 1-4, trying to keep their arms intact.

The countdown timer sounded like a death sentence, making them sweat bullets, yet no one dared to make the first move.

Everyone was eyeing other players, waiting to see who would be the first to make a decision. Would they follow the same fate as in the video, having their arm cut off by Robo Blue?

All were petrified except for the hot-headed player who had earlier mouthed off Eleanor. He grew impatient and without further ado, slammed down the number 3

button.

The second he pressed the button, four black boxes opened simultaneously. Unfortunately, boxes 2-4 were empty. Clearly, the red apple was in the first box.

“Damn it!” He had hardly finished cursing when two words appeared on the red door opposite him – Death Door.

Simultaneously, Robo Blue’s mechanical arm reached out from within the door, extending towards him.

The hot-headed man turned to run, but he was a moment too slow. As expected, a human couldn’t outrun a machine, so he only made a few steps before he was seized by the mechanical arm.

Robo Blue, with the steel blade in its hand, swiftly cut the man’s arm. The blade was massive, and the cut was so clean that there was no blood splatter or meaty

debris.

As Blue’s blade cut through the arm, a sharp scream echoed in the gaming zone, instilling panic and fear in everyone.

The hot-headed man’s gaming zone was directly opposite Eleanor’s. Seeing him writhing in pain, reaching out with his left hand to grab his severed arm, heart pounded in her chest.

Eleanor’s

Even though the man was obnoxious, the punishment was incredibly cruel and terrifying. The worst part was that they too could face the same fate after making their choice.

As Eleanor paled and clenched her fists, Robin’s calm voice echoed in her ears, “Don’t be afraid.”

She slowly looked up at Robin. Seeing the determination in his eyes, she loosened her trembling hands, suppressing her fear and calming herself down. The black boxes gave nothing away. They were at the mercy of intuition and luck, but she wasn’t sure if she could trust her own.

While she was still hesitating, Scarface Man, having heard a certain number, quickly glanced at the surveillance camera. He then leaned towards Eleanor and Robin, whispering, “Cross, choose 2. You, Dunce, choose 1.”

After saying this, Scarface Man quickly stepped back. Eleanor and Robin glanced at each other, their eyes filled with doubt. However, after Scarface Man confidently pressed the number 1 key, the words ‘Life Door’ appeared on his red door. He had chosen correctly.

“Trust me!”

Scarface Man didn’t exactly give them a good impression. Moreover, Eleanor had been lured into this game by Sophie. How could they know if Scarface Man was planted by Sophie to sabotage them?

After all, the mastermind behind Area Opaca valued rules and wouldn’t allow any cheating during the game. However, if someone was planted from the beginning, the mastermind wouldn’t know.

If Scarface Man was indeed sent by Sophie, then they might lose an arm in the first round if they followed his advice.

Robin thought for a moment. If he wanted to figure out if Scarface Man was a plant, he would have to take a chance. After all, everything was a blind gamble.

“Eleanor, I’ll go first. If I’m wrong, you follow. his advice.”

Before Eleanor could protest, Robin slammed down the opposite number indicated by Scarface Man –

Number 2.

With a surprised look on Scarface Man’s face, the words ‘Death Door’ suddenly appeared on Robin’s red door.

He looked up, and indeed, two mechanical arms extended from the red door, rushing towards him at lightning speed.
