“You can choose to double all your attributes, but you will face an attack from a monster immediately after.”
“Or you can choose a corresponding share of food and water, and once chosen, you will be invincible for one hour.”
That’s right!
Those were the only two choices!
William had a tight grip on human nature. He offered choices, but it was almost as if he hadn’t, because everyone present, including Oscar, lacked the confidence that they could withstand a monster attack even with their attributes doubled.
There were fifteen monsters lurking nearby, all modified by William, making the game exponentially more difficult!
Choosing the first option would likely result in them being torn to shreds by these monsters quickly.
“It wasn’t like this before!” Oscar shouted loudly. “William, you’re doing this on purpose! You’re using your administrator status for personal revenge!”
“Before, it was just a simple doubling of personal attributes!” Oscar said through clenched teeth. “Is this really okay for you to do?”
“Choice countdown begins, 10, 9, 8, 7…”
William couldn’t be bothered to respond to Oscar’s complaints and started the countdown.
“Damn it, lunatic!” Oscar cursed, and finally made his choice, “I choose the second one! The second one!”
“The second one!”
Without exception, everyone chose the second option.
For one invincible hour, each person received two bottles of water and three loaves of bread.
“We’re only invincible for one hour, eat quickly!”
Most of the people who came from New York City would have brought some food and water with them, so the bread and water provided by William seemed somewhat insignificant.
The important thing was the one hour of invincibility.
Oscar’s gaze swept over the people around him. Now he couldn’t trust anyone,people were going mad suddenly, he couldn’t trust anyone now.
Finally, his eyes landed on the ghost girl, Braden Ramsey’s daughter, Nora Ramsey…
The lives of his subordinates no longer mattered,William, that guy, turned out to be the administrator of this Terror space.
Killing him was definitely impossible now.
After getting out, staying in New York City would no longer be an option. If he could save Nora, he could head to Washington.
New York City was just a second-tier base, while Washington was a fifth-tier base. Braden Ramsey was the head of that base. If Oscar could save his daughter, moving to Washington would provide him a foothold, and he would surely fare better than in New York.
“Nora, come to my side, I’ll protect you!” Oscar, having assessed the situation, immediately made his decision.
The female ghost Nora bit her lip gently, adopting a shy demeanor, and walked up to Oscar. She whispered, “Oscar, if I can make it out alive, I will definitely repay you well, but…”
“But what?” Oscar, with the posture of a strong elite, said, “With my protection, you can definitely make it out alive!”
“Kevin also said he would protect me.” Nora glanced stealthily at another muscular man nearby wielding a giant sword, her expression hesitant.
“Oscar, I fell in love with Nora at first sight, so I won’t trouble you anymore.” Kevin, Oscar’s former deputy, was somewhat weaker than Oscar. Encouraged by Nora’s suggestive glance, he mustered the courage to speak to Oscar, “Please grant us your blessing!”
Oscar laughed heartily: “You think you’re worthy? Kevin, what are you compared to me? You dare compete with me for Nora?”
At that moment, green lights suddenly emanated from Kevin, and a sharp iron axe appeared in his hand.
“Now you’re as strong as him!” William’s voice echoed in Kevin’s ear.
Kevin could feel a mysterious power erupting within him after those words. His gaze hardened, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and he swung his iron axe towards Oscar…
With one hour of invincibility, Kevin couldn’t harm Oscar, and Oscar couldn’t harm Kevin, but their clash was evenly matched.
William didn’t need to continue watching,Oscar and his group had already completely fractured, with formidable enemies surrounding them outside, enemies they were not equipped to handle.
With a traitor among them, how could they fight?
In the end, it would just be them destroying each other, and none would end well.
As time ticked away, Oscar finally realized that he couldn’t kill Kevin.
The axe in Kevin’s hands made him uneasy.
“Kevin, are you sure we want to fight to the death here?” Oscar, wielding a spear, clashed with Kevin briefly, and both men retreated several meters, maintaining a safe distance.
They both knew that fighting among themselves in such a place was just a waste of energy, and regardless of who won, it wouldn’t end well for either.
Kevin raised his axe, looking coldly at Oscar, and said, “I don’t want to waste time with you. I’m going to leave this place with Nora. You’re the one who provoked William, and I don’t want to be dragged down with you.”
The group that had entered the Doors of Terror had realized something crucial—William was the administrator of the Doors of Terror.
They had entered the Doors of Terror because Oscar had deliberately provoked William.
Their current predicament was likely a result of being dragged into this due to Oscar’s actions, leading to their being attacked by numerous terrifying monsters.
“Oscar, if it weren’t for you, why would we even be in this place? You dared to insult William, you deserve what’s coming to you!” Now that Kevin felt he was as strong as Oscar, he no longer needed to flatter him.
He thought it might be a good opportunity to curry favor with William.
“William, from the moment I saw you, I knew you were a handsome and powerful super-being. Only an idiot like Oscar would fail to recognize your greatness. If you’re going to punish anyone, let it be him. I am willing to serve you in any way!”
Kevin shouted loudly, hoping to gain William’s favor.
Oscar knew he had offended William, but there was no turning back now. What he needed to do was rescue Nora and get out of this cursed place alive!
“You can go, but Nora stays with me; I will protect her!” Oscar looked seriously at the female ghost Nora.
However, Nora clung to Kevin’s sleeve, nervously saying, “Oscar, I’d rather go with Kevin. I’ve heard that you… you’ve offended the administrator of this Terror space. But rest assured… once you reach Washington, I will definitely repay you well…”
Oscar stared at Nora, realizing that surviving and getting out of here was indeed the priority.
“Go then!” Oscar felt confident in his own ability to survive. William was just an administrator,how much could he really mess things up?
Kevin, holding Nora’s hand, left without looking back, and those who had followed Oscar also began to leave.
Indeed, they all realized that it was Oscar who had offended William. Staying with Oscar might mean that William would come after them too. Perhaps if they left Oscar, the monsters might stop following them.
At that moment, Oscar felt the sting of abandonment.
