Back in the room, we had lost the mood for conversation.

We lay silently next to each other.

At this moment, we finally realized the kind of place we were in.

Hell!

Perhaps only hell could explain it.

I forced myself to sleep before 12 o'clock, and no one dared to test the consequences of breaking the rules again.

We had already been frightened out of our wits.

The next morning, I woke up.

Liu Tiexiong was still snoring, sleeping soundly.

I lay still, not moving or making a sound.

How should I spend tonight?

I am the only performer for the final night, and Liu Tiexiong is the only audience.

As long as he approves of my performance, we can leave this rule-bound hotel together.

But...

After much thought, I decided not to sit idly by.

At least, I couldn't completely rely on Liu Tiexiong for my life and death.

When Liu Tiexiong woke up, I had already finished washing up.

He sat up groggily, and the first thing he did was reach under the pillow to touch the Exemption Card.

Two seconds later, he was fully awake. He threw the pillow aside and even flipped over the mattress.

It's gone!

The card was gone!

He looked at me with angry eyes, as if he wanted to rush over and fight me.

"Why did you do this? I thought we were friends!"

I gave a bitter smile. The word "friend" is too light in front of this hotel.

A person who doesn't act in their own self-interest deserves to be condemned by heaven and earth!

I just want to stay alive too!

"The card has my name on it. Even if you take it, you can't use it!"

He roared at me angrily, and his eyes gradually became fierce.

I don't blame him. If our positions were reversed, I'm afraid I would be even more insane than him.

"I don't want to snatch your Exemption Card. I just want to ensure that I can survive as well."

I looked apologetic, but there was no remorse in my heart. Even if I were given another chance, I would still do the same.

"Of course, we will survive together! I have the Exemption Card. As long as I approve of your performance at the evening party, we can leave together. Don't you trust me? Do you think I would harm you?"

Liu Tiexiong looked incredulous, and at this moment, I absolutely believed in his sincerity.

"But... what if the hotel does something else?" I asked him loudly.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. Perhaps he was wondering, what else could the hotel do? Haven't we been following the rules on the card?

I looked away, afraid to meet his gaze, but I presented the most genuine reason in front of him.

"I just want to make sure that you won't easily give up on me! As long as we successfully get through the evening party, I will return the Exemption Card to you!"

Upon hearing my words, he had completely calmed down, but the look in his eyes had changed.
