This time as he tried to sit, he slowed his body as much as he could before lightly leaning on the wall. As he slid towards the ground, a trail of sweat followed his body down.

That was a lot. Not for his body so much as his head. His temples throbbed ever so slightly as the blood tried to regulate itself back to normal in his body.

He was for lack of a better term, burnt out. The first thing he faced here took him so much effort to just survive. Right now he could stick his pinky in his calf and have it pop up the other side. At that moment when he made the mistake, he could've been hit anywhere and he'd have no complaints.

But for the moment, he'd won. While he was still inside here, he won. But as soon as he broke out, he was sure that there were several more toys just like this one to keep him occupied. If he weren't so 'lucky', the next trap could kill him. He just wanted to sit down for awhile right now.

After monitoring Zhao Wei the observer could only sit in silence after witnessing the feats he'd accomplished again and again, considering the next move against such a ridiculous existence.

The fact that Zhao Wei showed his exhaustion gave the a.s.surance that he was still human. There was some conflict over whether he should be left there or not. But before a decision could be made, a hole was punctured into the building somewhere in the lower levels, judging by the sensations at least 3 life forms had entered the premises. That sudden impact cause the person to fall from the seat, as long hair flew forward and an arm stretched out to hold on to the table for leverage. A grimy face hid between the cover of disheveled hair that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while and probably smelled the same.

She could only give herself a face palm as she wondered what exactly the other's were doing allowing the building's wall to be exposed to outside threats.

Walking to the door, she reached for the handle, but before she could touch it her hand started to tremble. Trying to steel herself, the hand trembled even harder so much that even as she touched the n.o.b, she couldn't grip it hard enough to turn.

Sweat began to pour down despite the cool environment, she gritted her teeth as her eyes turned bloodshot trying to push her will, but in the end she could only crumple into a heap and lay on the floor as she looked at the gate that kept her locked here.

There was no warden, no guard and no bars, not even keys to lock her in, and yet she was stuck here looking at the door like an insurmountable wall.

Jamming his hands into the part of the wall he broke, he pulled the section apart, ripping into the wall from the inside until he could barely fit his torso through.

Looking around at his surroundings, he focused on observing down to the smallest discrepancies in the room. He needed to figure out where and how the next death trap was going to spring up on him so that he could either be ready or be prepared for the occasion. As much as he'd like to test his limits with the toys whoever abducted him out here. He was quite worried about his companions right about now.

He was especially worried about Jeff, despite the old man's skills, he hadn't see hide nor hair of the old man even before he got knocked out, he couldn't exactly dismiss the possibility that Jeff might've been captured as well and put in a similar situation as himself right now.

He had barely taken a fifth step before he thought he had triggered something as the sound of gears s.h.i.+fting and clanking of metal could be heard echoing in the hall. A little light flooded in as a gap in one corner began to widen to reveal a corridor which although similar in design had much difference compared to the room he was stuck in right now.

At the very least, out here the blood didn't stain every wall and his nostrils didn't have to be filled with that pungent aroma.
