Player 19 was a young man with side-parted medium-length hair, a thin, elongated face, wearing a Guanyin Buddha pendant around his neck, his tank top already soaked with sweat.

Being the first one selected, cold sweat constantly emerged from his forehead.

Countless question boards rotated in a circle before his eyes. The monitor stood behind the brightly lit boards, its gray-robed figure appearing and disappearing.

Although he should choose a category he excelled in, but…

But among these boards, at a glance, he couldn’t find one he was good at!

Player 19 searched desperately.

—Poetry, Literature, Mathematics, Language, Art, Music, Drama, Sports, Nature, Science, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, History, General Knowledge, Architecture, Food, Clothing, Folklore, Countries, Archaeology, Animals, Programming, Astronomy, Mystery…

“Player 19, please select a question category.” The monitor reminded him again. “After two minutes, the system will randomly select a question.”

Player 19 gritted his teeth. Having really no choice, his voice trembling slightly, he said: “Choose… General Knowledge.”

Monitor: “Required-answer question 1: What color is at the top of a rainbow?”

Player 19 first froze, then the tense expression on his face quickly faded. He exhaled lightly. He didn’t know whether others knew the answer, but he was crystal clear about this question!

Because the band he was into was called Rainbow! Every album had a rainbow printed on it!

At this moment, a line of text appeared on the LCD screens before everyone:

[1. What color is at the top of a rainbow?]

Below were four options:

[A, Red; B, Purple; C, Cyan; D, Orange.]

Where the buzzer had been on the right side, it had changed to a 60-second countdown.

As long as one’s mind wasn’t completely panicked and muddled, they should know to choose A. The colors of a rainbow from outside to inside are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple.

Of course, this didn’t rule out some people who truly hadn’t paid attention to this bit of common knowledge.

Like Tan Xiao—Bai Youwei strongly suspected he would choose incorrectly.

At this moment, Tan Xiao was staring at his own LCD screen with an extremely pained expression.

“If you get it wrong, use the puzzle piece—don’t stupidly get eliminated! Understand?!” Bai Youwei shouted with furrowed brows.

Li Li across from them was speechless: “Are you serious? This kind of question requires using a puzzle piece to save your life?”

Bai Youwei’s expression was displeased: “If you’re not using the puzzle piece, will you save him? Can you save him? If you can, then give the answer! If you can’t, shut up!”

Li Li: “…”

Damn, he wanted to give the answer, but he didn’t dare…

Li Li sullenly lowered his head, answering his own question, no longer concerning himself with Tan Xiao.

The 60-second answer time quickly passed.

The monitor announced: “The answer is A. Correct answers accumulate 1 point, incorrect answers deduct 1 point, players with no points are eliminated—”

As it announced the results, wails, screams, and cries rose and fell around them!

“No! I don’t want to play the game! Ahhhhh!!!”

“Help, help! No…”

“…Ahhh no! No!”

Eleven metal chairs slowly rotated, ignoring people’s cries and struggles, scratching and clawing at the metal belts around their waists, picking and scraping at the metal rings around their necks! Scratching out bloody wounds, yet still unable to break free from these chairs like instruments of torture!

The metal chairs completely rotated around!

Only tall chair backs could be seen!

Dark mist surrounded the spinning wheel—nothing could be seen, nor did anyone know what those people were experiencing. Their screams grew more and more shrill! Their struggles intensified!

The chairs shook with creaking sounds, then slowly rotated back—

The people on the chairs had disappeared…

Leaving only glaring, mottled bloodstains.
