Life-Spending Game [Infinite]

Later, when Song Ci thought back, he felt it must have been the wrong way he got out of bed that morning that led him into this strange escape-room game. Ridiculous — does a manual even count as a book?

3344: Welcome to the Death Library. I am the librarian. I have one good piece of news and one bad piece of news. Which do you want first?

Song Ci: The bad news.

3344: You are already dead.

Song Ci: …Then what’s the good news?

3344: Other libraries lend books. This library lends lives. You can use a Life-Borrowing Card to gain one free extension.

Song Ci: I refuse.

System: …………

If every book could lead to a deadly escape-room game, would you still dare to open it?

3344: Please hold your Life-Borrowing Card and line up. Here is the reading manual of this library. Please read carefully:

1. Since some books involve brain-burning puzzles, horror, and violence, players who are weak-minded, physically frail, afraid of the dark, or afraid of heights are advised to avoid them.

2. Regret is the most useless action in this world. Although some NPCs are stunningly beautiful, their lethality is even greater. For your safety, do not provoke them.

3. This is a life-spending game. Want to quit now? Sorry, too late!

Song Ci (serious): Even though I’m weak-minded, frail, afraid of heights and darkness, believe me — the one who regrets will definitely be you.

Tang Si (interested): Spend lives? Do you dare to take mine?

3344: …………

Much later, 3344 plucked at his metallic feathers one by one: “Now this is regret. Deep regret. If I could start over, I would never be a librarian.”
