⁰⁰⁶ First Game

Kento's P.O.V

ALL THE PLAYERS WERE SPLIT INTO SMALLER GROUPS AND LEAD THROUGH THE HALLWAYS TOWARDS THE FIRST GAME. I walked silently with two other workers as we headed to the main room for our next orders. Unfortunately I wasn't shifted to help with the first game which kinda pissed me off but there was only so much I could do. After a few minutes of silent walking, we made it to two entrance doors and on cue they opened, letting us walk through.

Large t.v screens were placed all around the walls with desks and machines in rows below. The head man who I don't actually know the name of turned around to stare at us before turning back around. We stood there quietly as I carefully looked over and saw the floor with pictures of the players slowly start to appear one by one. This meant all of them were getting their photo taken. I saw a bleached haired male and scoffed at the expression he pulled. Each player was made to take a photo so we could all keep track of them. Eventually there's only be one left at the end of this.

"No. 026" They called making me stand up straight. "I need you to deliver this to the head man's office." An envelope was being held as I walked up towards the platform and gently took the letter.

"Where is it located?" I asked, making sure not to crease the paper. They turned their head and nodded to one of the side doors. "Heading straight down you should come across no. 084. They'll lead you from there."

'Why the fuck can't you do it.' I grumbled in my head but nodded nonetheless. I walked over the platform and scanned my hand over the pad to the side and pushed the door open to come across a short hallway with different exits. "Oh, for fuck sakes..."

I casually walked forward, every so often looking down a different path but most just had more turn offs so I ignored them most of the time. Staff were wandering around and I'm pretty sure I passed the kitchen once or twice but I couldn't be so sure. Eventually I reached one of the workers, no. 084 and they lead me to a darker hallway with doors seals and passcodes enabled. They tapped in a code and the doors opened, I walked in and carefully placed the letter on the table before walking out.

The worker and I walked alongside each other and we were able to make it back to the main room without breaking the silence. I walked back in and was pleasantly greeted with the sounds of screams from the players. Turns out the game had started and they only just realised if they failed, they got killed.

'God, they're totally gonna whine about that when we see them afterwards' I thought whilst silently watching what happens. For me, my next shift involved standing behind the higher up as they explained what would be happening so fourth. Since I was new, they assigned me to just keep watch invade anything bad happened which I was fine with.

I could easily see the terrified faces of the players and how sweaty they looked making me smirk behind my mask. They really did look like stupid idiots. Although, no. 067 ended up getting shown on screen causing my smirk turn into a soft smile.

'So pretty, she could be a model if she wanted.' I innocently thought.

Pulling my eyes away from the screens, I looked around and noticed the head man was no longer here. Not that I cared where the fool went, it's just I had time to spare before my next shift started. I decided to just chill here and watch the game play out so I leaned against a wall and crossed my arms, my eyes glued to the glowing screens.

The haunting voice of the child would call out then call out again, turn her head and kill whoever moved an inch or failed to stop in time. It was revolting in so many ways but I was at no risk so pfft, stuff em. They're all in debt, the losers.
