A Red Chicken’S Quick Travel Game Chapter 9
byChapter 9 1.8 Absolutely no trouble-making.
Faster than words can say, Gou Xue didn’t have time to see the options before stepping into empty air. His body plummeted—behind the door was actually a bottomless, massive ventilation duct!
Gou Xue just wanted to give the author a giant middle finger: Which dog of an architect designed this?!
The entire duct was so long it made Gou Xue question his life. The initial freefall only lasted a few seconds before the duct curved. Gou Xue felt like he was on a giant, thrilling slide, rushing downward without stopping.
Gou Xue’s screams echoed throughout the duct. Amidst his screaming, he heard the person who pushed him in slam the door shut with a loud bang.
Although it felt like a long time, it was actually only about a dozen seconds. The light ahead brightened, and Gou Xue burst out of the duct, landing face-first into a pile of soft fabric.
Because his neck had taken a heavy impact, Gou Xue took a while to recover, baring his teeth in pain as he raised his head. As soon as he looked up, his face contorted into a Rage Comic expression.
Gou Xue: …
The people around him: …
Gou Xue almost buried himself in the clothes again. Author, get out here! Why are there naked women everywhere?!!
A newcomer? one of the naked women asked, raising an eyebrow. Gou Xue covered his eyes with his hands but couldn’t help peeking through a crack. A short-haired woman stood before him, her body covered in exaggerated peony tattoos. She didn’t seem to care at all about being naked, as if the one wearing clothes—Gou Xue—was the odd one out.
Gou Xue felt the author had gone too far. He was a 2D-world gay but a 3D-world straight man; he had never even been close to a scantily clad girl in real life. To start off with something so R-rated was a massive test of his self-control!
I-I-I… I went to the wr-wr-wrong place… Gou Xue got nervous whenever he saw a beautiful woman, and when he got nervous, he stuttered. He covered his eyes tightly with both hands. S-S-Sorry…
Put your hands down, the woman said.
Gou Xue cried out in a panic: I can’t! I really went to the wrong place!
Going to the wrong place and ending up in the female prisoners’ bathroom? The woman raised an eyebrow and smirked. You were thrown down here, weren’t you?
Gou Xue was stunned for a moment.
A few newcomers get thrown down here every year. It’s nothing unusual, another woman’s voice chimed in.
If the prison guards find you, don’t even think about leaving this place alive. Someone laughed, followed by a wave of laughter from the surroundings.
Gou Xue trembled with fear. In his haste, he dropped his hands. That won’t do! The shadow cast by the confinement room was too great, dealing a heavy blow to his fragile heart. I’m leaving, I’m leaving right now! As he spoke, Gou Xue crawled out of the pile of clothes without daring to look up.
Leave? It’s not that easy. A burst of laughter erupted around him. The woman with the peony tattoo said, Shower time is fifteen minutes every day. Those old birds are watching outside. How do you plan on leaving?
Gou Xue choked.
Leaving isn’t easy, but staying isn’t that hard. The woman exchanged a look with those around her. With your height, it won’t be hard to blend in and sneak out with us. But you can only follow us back to the cells. If you’re careful and lucky, you won’t be discovered.
And… and what if I am discovered… Gou Xue couldn’t help but ask.
The woman and her companions exchanged another look, smiling without saying a word. Their smiles made Gou Xue’s skin crawl. He immediately whispered, Book, Book!
Little Book appeared sluggishly.
I can’t play this game anymore! Isn’t everywhere a dead end?!
A few words appeared on Little Book: There is always a way out.
Bullshit! Am I supposed to stay in a women’s prison for the rest of my life?!
More words appeared on Little Book: After the gloom of the willows, there is the brightness of the flowers.
Gou Xue: …
Gou Xue, the shut-in who was currently being infuriated by Little Book, suddenly thought of something—right, isn’t this just a game! Since it’s a game, there must be a way to clear it. And with so many NPCs involved, there must be clues!
Once his thinking aligned, Gou Xue’s metaphorical meridians were instantly cleared. Holding onto the spirit of a gamer who isn’t afraid of death or exhaustion but only of asking the wrong questions, Gou Xue was no longer shy about seeing naked women or afraid of the prison guards. He asked realistically and rigorously, It’s useless for you to keep me here. Since there’s a way down, there must be a way back up. At worst, I’ll just climb back!
Thinking this was a good idea, Gou Xue immediately tried to climb back.
Peony Tattoo grabbed him and said, You can’t climb up.
Gou Xue tried unwillingly. The walls of the duct were too slippery; there was no leverage at all. His ascent was as constipated as his descent had been smooth.
Why do you think we want a man? Peony Tattoo saw that he couldn’t leave and spoke with leisure. Before Gou Xue could react, he saw several women winking at each other. He felt like he’d been struck by lightning.
He turned his head and asked Little Book very seriously, Author, is this a BL novel or a romance novel?
Little Book coyly squeezed out a few lines: This is a Jinjiang novel.
A weary-looking Gou Xue: …Say no more, I understand.
Over there, Peony Tattoo thought Gou Xue was talking to her. A smile appeared on her face. It’s good that you understand. As long as you—
I’m Leopard’s man, Gou Xue interrupted her, suddenly speaking with righteous indignation.
The woman’s expression froze.
…I mean, I’m Leopard’s lackey, Gou Xue added as an afterthought.
Peony Tattoo narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a while. The entire men’s prison could be called Leopard’s lackeys. You want me to help you based on that?
Gou Xue remembered the options he saw on Little Book before falling down the duct. He had already grasped the patterns of the insane readers; he could almost pinpoint which strange option was his main quest. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t use other options! His limbs belonged to him; could they really force him into cross-dressing?
Naive!
Haha! Hahaha!
You can try me. I just escaped from the confinement room. You can probably still hear the alarms from up there, right? If it weren’t to hide from the guards, I wouldn’t have come here, Gou Xue bluffed.
Without Leopard as a backer, who would dare, or even be able to, escape the confinement room?
Peony Tattoo crossed her arms and looked at him for a while. Suddenly, two voices rang out from outside the bathroom: Everyone out for roll call! Roll call!
Time’s up, Peony Tattoo said. The old birds are going to count heads.
Gou Xue broke into a cold sweat again. Peony Tattoo glanced at him sideways, her lips curling. You’re right. If someone can come down from above, they can go up from here. It just so happens one of our sisters is absent today. I can help you with this, but—
Gou Xue suddenly had a very bad premonition.
You have to wear our prison uniform.
Gou Xue breathed a sigh of relief. The female prison uniforms weren’t much different from the male ones, maybe just a slight change in the collar. He didn’t feel much pressure about that.
It’s easy to get through the head count, but if you want to go up— Peony Tattoo’s smile made Gou Xue’s heart hang in his throat again, you’ll have to use some special methods.
At that moment, Little Book suddenly jumped out.
