Chapter 11 The Time-Limited Escape Route

While I was pondering a way out, suddenly, footsteps sounded again in the darkness behind me, and there was more than one set of footsteps this time.

To be honest, I was terrified because I hadn't even entered a toilet stall yet. Logically, I shouldn't have triggered a dead end, but that's exactly what happened.

It seems the rules are constantly changing. The most important thing now is to seize the time to find a way out and escape before the path to survival changes.

The footsteps got closer and closer. I had no choice but to take a risk. I opened the last toilet stall, the one with the black doorknob, and without any hesitation, I went in and slammed the door shut.

There was a violent knocking on the door from outside, as if countless hands were shaking the stall door. The stall door trembled under their violent hammering, but strangely, after a dozen seconds, the hammering stopped abruptly.

Cold sweat dripped from my forehead, but I still strictly followed the next steps according to the rules. I used the toilet without looking up or down.

I carefully opened a crack in the stall door, wanting to see if those terrifying things had left. But suddenly, an extremely pale hand grabbed the edge of the stall door. This pale hand seemed to have the strength of a thousand jin.

I used all my strength but couldn't close the door!

In the end, the stall door was opened by this pale ghost hand. Standing outside the door were none other than the incomplete bodies of Matthew and Amir Khan.

They rushed into the stall and devoured me bit by bit.

I died, a very miserable death. "Simulation complete, collect lifespan!"

The Evil God's Right Hand took away one year of Shen Wei's lifespan. While alleviating the pain of death, Shen Wei pondered where the mistake had occurred in the previous attempt to find a way out.

Just then, a cold and ruthless death announcement from the Rule Anomaly echoed in the minds of Mark, Gwen, and Shen Wei.

"Indian Chosen Amir Khan is dead..."

"American Chosen Matthew is dead. A rainstorm disaster will sweep across America, affecting some states..."

Upon receiving confirmation of their deaths, Mark, Gwen, and Shen Wei's expressions became extremely grim.

"It's time, it must be time! The space within the toilet stalls is changing, and so is time. The time for the path to survival is shortening. The black doorknob changes every three seconds. The time I spent in the toilet stall had already exceeded three seconds, so I was moved to the next stall or the stall after that!"

"Within that stall, I triggered the conditions to be killed, so the ghosts of Amir Khan and Matthew appeared and completely killed me. To successfully escape this strange place, you must enter the corresponding toilet stall and come out within six seconds. No, maybe the time will be even shorter. The entire process of opening the stall door, going in, closing it, and coming out cannot exceed six seconds. If it exceeds six seconds, you will be moved to the next stall that violates the rules, triggering a deadly trap..."

After hearing Shen Wei's analysis, the Evil God's Right Hand asked with some confusion, "Why is the safe time for the path to survival six seconds? I don't quite understand..."

Shen Wei thought for a moment and replied in his mind:

"The time I mentioned for the path to survival earlier has a flaw. The path to survival may be three seconds or six seconds, at most six seconds. The black doorknob moves clockwise. When the black doorknob appears on the last stall of the men's restroom and the first stall of the women's restroom, the time for the path to survival is six seconds."

"Because their next change of position is still a toilet stall that meets the conditions permitted by the rules. So you can add three seconds of safe time. This is determined according to the time it takes for the doorknob color to change."

"If you enter the last stall of the women's restroom or the first stall of the men's restroom, then the time for the path to survival will be three seconds, because after three seconds, you will be moved to the next toilet stall. If you cannot escape the toilet stall within three seconds, then you will trigger a dead end and be killed by the ghosts. But we have to hurry, I think the time for the path to survival will continue to shorten. If we can't get out in time, we will definitely die..."

Shen Wei's analysis made the Evil God's Right Hand suddenly realize.

Just as Shen Wei was analyzing the path to survival, the blond man Mark and the woman named Gwen finally stopped whispering, as if they had reached some agreement. They walked towards Shen Wei from the left and right, looking like they had ill intentions.

"Mr. Wei Shen, Miss Gwen and I have something we want to talk to you about. You might not be willing to do this, but it has to be done..."

The blond man Mark said, approaching Ao Wu with a fake smile.

Just then, Gwen's voice also rang out in the darkness, "Mr. Wei, I believe you will make the right choice, won't you?"

Shen Wei shook his head helplessly, "I understand what you mean. You just want me to be cannon fodder to explore the way, right? Just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush. I agree, who told me I have a broad mind and a loving heart?"

Before the blond man Mark and Miss Gwen could finish speaking, Shen Wei had agreed so readily. This left them unable to finish the words they had prepared, and the second half of their sentences were stuck in their stomachs, feeling very uncomfortable, as if they were constipated.

"Mark, could this kid be tricking us?"

Mark heard Gwen's thoughts through the earpiece.

"I guess he might have found some clues about the path to survival, so he wants to take a risk. This can greatly increase our fault tolerance rate and also get his path to survival for free..."

After a while, Gwen also learned Mark's thoughts through the earpiece. The two nodded to each other and pretended to persuade Shen Wei to stay with feigned sincerity.

Shen Wei didn't have time to waste with them. The path to survival was constantly changing, and the time for the path to survival was constantly shortening. He walked directly into the darkness of the men's restroom.

With the Evil God's Right Hand guiding the way, he skillfully avoided some terrifying ghosts blocking his path.

Just then, he heard the footsteps following behind him again. It was that ghost that caused hallucinations again.

Shen Wei turned around to face him, walking backward, and after scaring the guy away, Shen Wei finally arrived at the last stall of the restroom safely.

At this time, the doorknob of this stall was still constantly changing colors.

Based on the color of the doorknob, it would take at least 20 seconds for the black doorknob to reappear on the last stall of the restroom. As for why Shen Wei didn't use the first stall near the restroom door as a path to escape.

It was because he didn't want to benefit Mark and Gwen, those hypocritical guys. He ventured deep into the darkness to effectively block their observation.
