But Robin’s nonchalance, in Eleanor’s eyes, was crystal clear idiocy.
Barely suppressing her impatience, she unbuttoned Robin’s blazer, looking for his house key.
After searching every pocket, no key was found. Eleanor’s heart sank.
“You didn’t forget your key, did you?”
“Impossible!”
Robin frowned, searching his pockets again, but to no avail.
“It must have been some guys form Area Opaca who took my keys!”
He clenched his fists in fury. “Those jerks,’I swear if I find them, I won’t show mercy!”
Eleanor arched a brow, “They even brought my suitcase, why would they only take your key?”
“What?” Robin looked at her, astounded.
Eleanor pointed her chin towards a corner, “Over there.”
Following her gaze, Robin saw a suitcase in the corner.
He was in disbelief, “They let you bring a suitcase, but they took my key? Are they targeting me?”
Aside from the key, all his other belongings had been seized his cell phone, switchblade, poison vials, tracking devices, everything he could have used for defense was gone.
Tech gadgets were naturally confiscated, Eleanor didn’t mind, but the key to the handcuffs, didn’t that mean she was stuck with Robin?
Robin seemed to realize this as well, turning to look at Eleanor. She was also looking at him and their eyes met for a brief moment before they both looked away.
They sat against the wall in silence until Robin finally broke the silence, “Is there a knife in your suitcase?”
Before entering Area Opaca, she had splurged on Robin’s behalf, and now, he’d lost the key, leaving them handcuffed together.
Eleanor was naturally upset and didn’t feel like entertaining him, but out of courtesy, she replied, “No.”
Robin asked again, “Any other tools?”
Eleanor shot him an annoyed glance, “Nothing, stop asking.”
Robin lowered his gaze to the handcuffs, studying them for a while before finally saying, “Eleanor, I need to use the bathroom.”
At his words, Eleanor took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions and replied coldly, “Hold it in.”
Knowing he had no choice but to endure, Robin fell silent, scanning the room. Besides the stark white walls, there were two hidden doors. Evan had said that Area Opaca respects its guests, so they would provide basic necessities. They wouldn’t treat them like livestock.
Before the game started, they didn’t have to worry about what Area Opaca might do to them. The only issue now was how to unlock these damn handcuffs.
Robin yanked at the unyielding handcuffs, even biting them. Finding no way to open them, he dragged Eleanor around the room looking for tools. The two hidden rooms were a shower room and a bathroom. Besides the blindingly white showerhead and toilet, there was nothing else, not even a
window.
Robin kicked the wall in frustration, “When I find them, I swear I’ll mince them!”
Eleanor took deep breaths to quell her anger, “Before you start talking about mincing, figure out how to unlock these handcuffs first.”
Robin was getting impatient, “If I knew how to unlock them, do you think I’d be here talking about mincing?”
Eleanor, now pregnant, was sensitive and had a short fuse. So, she snapped back, “I don’t care, if you don’t unlock, these, forget about using the bathroom!”
Mentioning this, Robin’s basic needs were suddenly awakened, making him anxious, “Eleanor, can you just be reasonable, I didn’t choose to be handcuffed to you
Eleanor retorted, “If it wasn’t for your bright idea, would we be in this situation?”
Just as Robin was about to retort, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in the room-
“Dear players, welcome to Area Opaca. Please place the golden leaf in the operation table for identity verification.”
Upon the voice’s command, two card slots popped out of the wall.
Eleanor and Robin momentarily paused their bickering and walked over to the operation table.
