Chapter 46 - Cat on the Perch 2

Kim Young, A-09, Seo Hwan, Ray Lee, all found themselves in the same predicament.

The countdown above their heads had now reached zero.

Ray Lee spat:

— STOP .

Threw his ball .

Her hands were trembling.

It was useless; it fell as weakly as the courage of its thrower; at least it had allowed the others to escape.

–[RUNNING, FLEEING, IT'S ALL USELESS] laughed the tortoise, one eye closed, its cane ready to be thrown to reap new souls.

VOUMMM!

The cane flew off, bending the metal in its path.

Kim Young was in the lead, running for his life, while A-09 was having fun running in a zigzag pattern.

Fiouuuuu!

The cane whistled

Silence 

Tac … tac tac 

– [Huh?] , the torturer breathed.

Tac, the little ball that bounced on the ground

 

I was touched, when?, how is that possible

He turned around slowly,

Ray Lee, sitting on the ground with a sly smile, stared at him with a third ball in his hand.

He had just understood, so easily; he turned back to the runners who had already stopped.

None of them had a bullet

10 seconds

Just a few seconds

Ray Lee stands up and throws his last shot 

30 seconds

The turtle stared at him with an angry expression on its face, then hissed

That doesn't change anything

Ray Lee picked up the other balls and ran towards the other players.

– Everyone bring your balls, I have a solution for this game

They all looked at each other; above all, he had to survive, so the rivalry was put aside and a more lasting and pleasant solution was adopted.

Each one emerged from its hiding place and rushed towards the turtle

"Listen to me carefully," Ray Lee ordered, "every time the count reaches 10 seconds, you throw a ball. Each time, we retrieve—"

[ HAAAAA AHA HAAAAA AHAAAAAAAAA AHAHA HAAAAA, RIDICULOUS]

He was interrupted by the rusty, broken laughter of torture

"What's making you laugh so much?" asked Ji-Yunwoo.

[DO YOU REALLY THINK NO ONE HAS THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE YOU, POOR CHILD? YOU'RE STILL TOO YOUNG?]RUN AND HIDE WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME!

Threatened the turtle

Murmur

The teams began to panic; the first ones retreated and went back to their perches, while Ray Lee continued to throw the balls

"You bunch of idiots, come back!" Ray Lee ordered, shouting furiously as he was stuck throwing the balls.

Kang pulled me back and nodded for me to return to a perch near the birds, just in case.

"Forget it, we don't have time, we need to find the key quickly," ordered Kim Young

Holding his wrist to manipulate his watch

"What key is it?" asked Ray Lee. "I thought all you had to do was throw the balls."

"This isn't the time to ask questions, just move," Kim Young ordered.

Annoyed, she continued searching for something in her watch, and her crossed eyebrows showed her rising anger.

"That's not going to work, especially not with someone like you. I didn't accept this to follow orders," Ji-Yunwoo sighed.

And he walked away, followed by his two loyal allies, Jae min and Jun seo

As she walked away, Seo Hwan stared at Jun Seo, who simply avoided his gaze.

"So where is this key?" asked A-09.

Who joins the discussion so naturally

"Miss doesn't know that," Seo Hwan whispered.

[I'LL CRUSH YOU FIRST, YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE ANT]

The tortoise growled, having been motionless for more than 10 minutes.

"Shut up!" Ray Lee yelled, firing two bullets at his face. "You're just a simple turtle without your cane."

"I advise you not to say that," Kim young murmured, "the key lies in the game."

She turned around, staring at each corner, until she turned back around.

– in the game?

"I'll let you think about it," Seo Hwan whispered before leaving like the others, his hands in his pockets.

Kim Young didn't even notice, too focused on her thoughts, that she didn't see the countdown.

– kKim young.. Kim…. KimKim young, KIM YOUNG, hurla ray Lee 

- WHAT? 

Finally raising his head,

The gauge above the turtle had turned red and a very worrying message was displayed.

[ START OF EMERGENCY PHASE, ABUSE OF THE RULES THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE APPLICABLE IMMEDIATELY]

- SHIT 

That was the only word that came out of his mouth.

Before she found herself at the end of the room

BOOM!

She was swept away by a swipe of the turtle's paw; yes, she had just increased tenfold in size and weight. Ray Lee had even disappeared; no one knew what had happened to him.

Just a kick of dust and Kim Young sprawled out on the ground.

They had all climbed onto their perches.

But what can 10 short seconds change in our destiny? We will all be eliminated.

Yes, maybe we have a chance
