Day of Imprisonment

Angels definitely don't have sight; they rely entirely on their sense of smell.

But they don't seem to be catching the scent of people, but rather detecting something else.

Scent?

Fatty Qian trembled, his forehead covered in sweat, but even though this guy was miserable, he had to grit his teeth and endure, holding his breath.

Finally, after a terrifying dozen seconds for him, the 'angel' turned its head, sniffing continuously, searching in another direction.

He felt a slight relief in his heart, but quickly realized something.

The survival time is 10 minutes, and a monster will be added every minute.

That is to say, in a few minutes, this room will be full of long-legged angel sisters. The problem is, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is, who the hell can hold their breath for ten minutes without breathing?

Anyway, Fatty Qian was already feeling suffocated and short of breath. He wanted to breathe, but it was obvious that terrible things would happen if he breathed.

After a while, he was already trembling all over from holding his breath, cold sweat streaming down.

The others weren't doing much better.

Originally, I thought that Yu Xiaoru, this girl, shouldn't have that much lung capacity, but I didn't expect this girl to close her eyes and concentrate, motionless, looking calm and relaxed, as if she could hold her breath for a long time.

Fatty Qian had already begun to consider whether to go over and poke her armpits.

After all, compared to Han Lingling and Ma Ling, even if this girl looks cute, she's still an 'outsider'.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the second angel descended.

Obviously, time had entered the second minute of survival time, but what surprised everyone was that the angel that appeared this time was not a young lady, but a man.

A skinny, bizarre man.

The other party looked more like someone who had starved to death. If it weren't for the angelic halo above his head, this thing would look more like a hungry ghost.

Obviously, the angels that appear every minute are not fixed. There are many kinds of angels.

Everyone continued to hold their breath.

Although Yu Xiaoru didn't say what would happen if they breathed, it was obvious that it wasn't a good thing.

But there is a limit to how long a person can hold their breath.

Generally, adults, when prepared, can hold their breath for about 60 seconds. This time may vary due to individual differences, but it will not be too different. If pushed to the limit, in some extreme cases, it can reach or even exceed two minutes, but if the breath is held for too long, exceeding the limit that the body can bear, it can lead to suffocation and life-threatening danger.

In fact, after the second angel appeared, some people were already unable to hold on.

Luo Xi was expressionless. Judging from the fact that one of his hands was tightly clenched into a fist, he was also persevering.

Finally, the first person who couldn't hold on appeared.

Ma Ling.

He wasn't the kind of person with a particularly good physique. A highly educated talent, entering a large company with high-intensity work, his lung capacity was not large, and he was also injured before, so he was the first to reach his limit. He couldn't help but gasp for air.

Then he wanted to immediately hold his breath again.

But the moment he gasped for air, the two angels immediately noticed and pounced over.

Han Lingling, who was closest to Ma Ling, was so frightened at this time that she kept backing away.

"Ah ~"

The bloody scene that followed terrified people to the point of madness.

Yu Xiaoru immediately took the opportunity to breathe, and the others followed suit.

At most three seconds, the screams stopped, and the two angels, covered in blood, turned their heads and continued to sniff.

On the ground was a corpse wreckage that was no longer recognizable.

Ma Ling is dead!

The fat on Qian Lejin's face was trembling.

Because to survive, you can only rely on the death of others to get a chance to breathe.

If calculated according to time, to survive the next 7 minutes, at least three more people have to die.

But how many of them are there in total?

So several people began to think of ways. Qian Lejin knew very well that if this continued, he would also be one of the people who died.

Have to think of a way.

He clenched his fists, ready to attack the angels.

This might be a good method.

On the other side, Luo Xi also materialized the blood-stained iron hammer. The two looked at each other, knowing that they were thinking the same thing.

Han Lingling was completely dominated by fear. At this time, she couldn't make any effective response. As for Yu Xiaoru, when she saw Luo Xi and Qian Lejin's behavior, she just shook her head, obviously knowing what they were going to do, and also knowing that doing so was useless.

Sure enough, Luo Xi and Fatty Qian aimed at an angel, that is, the male angel, and launched a sneak attack.

First, a punch to the liver, an uppercut to the head, and then, the iron hammer smashed on the other party's skull.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be dead.

But this angel was severely injured. Although the bones seemed to be broken and the skull was dented, with foul-smelling blood and brain matter splattering, it still moved freely. However, it seemed to only be able to sense human breathing. If they didn't breathe, they would be like blind people.

Also, the wound was rapidly repaired under the influence of some kind of power.

"The attack is ineffective!"

Luo Xi and Qian Lejin looked at each other, both knowing that the plan to actively attack had failed.

'Angels' are almost immortal.

Moreover, the strenuous exercise of the attack just now consumed most of the little oxygen that the two of them had.

Fatty Qian's face turned green from holding his breath.

“Heh, a death wish. Many veteran Scavengers have challenged the Piggy Bookstore before, but I have to say, the three types of survival times are terrifying. The evil spirits and beasts are okay; one tests the team's cohesion and trust, and the other purely tests combat power. But when it comes to the 'Angel' stage, even the most powerful veterans can suffer casualties. Once you can't hold your breath, you will inevitably be killed by the angel. These are all precious experiences learned from the lives of many people. Running in without knowing anything is simply courting death. You need to know that the difficulty of the Piggy Bookstore is Chaos Four and Yin-Yang Two.”

Yu Xiaoru muttered to herself upon seeing this.

She remained motionless, reducing her body's oxygen consumption so she could hold her breath longer.

This was also key to safely passing this survival time.

Of course, she also had a life-saving tool.

A card called [Breathless], which could stop a person from breathing for eight minutes without causing death. This way, she could safely pass the 'Angel' stage by holding her breath for another two minutes.

An Zhiyan and Aunt Qin also had this kind of card, so Yu Xiaoru wasn't worried about the safety of the other two.

As for herself, she couldn't use the card yet, especially with these strangers around.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Perhaps, she could use it after they were all dead.

While lost in thought, Yu Xiaoru suddenly noticed that the man with the hammer was doing something strange.

He walked behind the male angel, seemingly observing something.

Then, in the next moment, he reached out and grabbed the angel's halo above the male angel's head.

“Heh, foolish. That angel halo is very hot, like red-hot iron. Did he think no one had tried to touch it before?” Before Yu Xiaoru could finish her thought, she saw the man's expression change, but he didn't let go. Instead, he looked like he was exerting extreme force.

He was pulling.

Trying to tear off the angel's halo?

“What a joke, how could that thing…”

Bang~

A strange sound like a firecracker went off.

The angel's halo on the male angel's head was actually pulled off.

In the next moment, the male angel let out an extremely painful wail, and then, amidst twisting and screaming, his entire body turned into a pool of foul blood.

“What?” Yu Xiaoru almost let out her breath when she saw this scene.

She covered her mouth and nose with her hands, staring wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before her.

Her mind went blank.

“The angel halo can actually be torn off? But why doesn't any of the information about the Piggy Bookstore scene mention this? Could it be that no one has tried it before, or that someone tried but failed?”

At this moment, Luo Xi held a glowing angel halo in his hand.

His expression was pained, and it was clear that the angel halo seemed to be burning his palm, but strangely, no one else noticed anything unusual about his palm.

The next second, Luo Xi smiled.

And what he did next stunned both Yu Xiaoru and Qian Lejin.

He actually put the stolen angel halo on his own head.

Most importantly, he actually succeeded.

The dimly glowing halo seemed to have been placed in some kind of stable magnetic field, floating above his head.

Then, Luo Xi began to breathe deeply. He was smiling, although he looked very weak.

Qian Lejin finally couldn't hold his breath any longer. He had to start breathing, or he would suffocate to death.

The female angel sensed the breathing and immediately rushed over, but Luo Xi grabbed the angel halo above the female angel's head halfway and then violently tore it off.

The female angel also turned into nothingness amidst screams.

Yu Xiaoru and Han Lingling began to breathe deeply.

“How… How could this… What exactly are you…”

Before Yu Xiaoru could ask, the third angel descended.

It was an extremely strange species.

It looked like a floating giant squid with many strange fleshy tentacles, no facial features, but a woman's face inside the organ that looked like a mouth.

Even someone with cerebral thrombosis could run a hundred-meter race record after seeing this thing. Its appearance alone could evoke infinite fear.

As everyone knows, blood pressure is high when people are afraid. High blood pressure means faster blood circulation and more oxygen consumption. Therefore, people often breathe rapidly when they are afraid, but in this situation, the rule of survival is to hold your breath.

I have to say, the person who designed this scene is not a good person.

Luo Xi just walked over, and the alien angel obviously ignored him, or rather, treated him as one of its own.

“Understood.” After saying this, Luo Xi reached out and tore off the other's angel halo.

The alien angel turned to ashes.

And this time, the third minute only lasted ten seconds.

“Let me briefly explain. The design of the scene is very novel. Many auxiliary props are hidden in the danger. Qian Lejin, in two minutes, I need you to tear off the halo on my head.” Luo Xi said, “At the same time, you put the halo on yourself, and within three minutes, I will help you take it off. And so on, the next one is Han Lingling, and the next one… Uh, there isn't a next one. By then, the time will be up.”

After speaking, Luo Xi looked around, his expression very interesting, as if he had seen something that interested him.

Qian Lejin and the others also looked around curiously, but they didn't see anything.

“Interesting setting, it really took some thought.” Luo Xi calculated the time, and then, the fourth angel appeared just as the fourth minute began. He walked over and tore off the halo above the other's head.
