Book 1: Chapter 47

I didnt know if I was the only one who was blind or if the other two were just like me, but the strong smell whether they were blind or not, they had to know what I did.

I rubbed my eyes, but everything was still dark when I opened them again. I had experienced this kind of situation before and tried to calm myself down. I stepped back so that I could find something to lean against while I focused all my attention on my ears.

The whole space was very chaotic and Fatty kept telling me to turn on a light, "Light, light, light, Mr. Nave! Are you deaf?! Turn on a light quickly!"

There seemed to be something wrong with our eyes.

I reached out in the water, but the barnacles on the wooden boards were so sharp that I couldn't lean on them. I decided to hold onto them instead as I shouted, "Fatty, Little Brother, can you see?"

"Ill be able to see whenever you decide to turn a fucking light on! Whod be able to see when its so dark right now?! Fatty yelled. "All these glow sticks are fucking duds! If I get back alive, Im going to write a bad review!"Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"I've already turned on a fucking light!" I cried out. "The glow sticks arent broken. Theres something wrong with our eyes. Calm the fuck down!

Fatty gave one last what the fuck but quickly quieted down. I reached out to try and feel my way around, but ended up touching his ass. He had good reflexes and immediately grabbed me and threw me into the water.

I had never seen such a speedy attack at such close range before. The crisp sound of cracking bone echoed in my ears and the splashing water from Poker-Faces movements fell on my face. The things neck had been twisted at a 240-degree angle.

Before he landed, Poker-Face threw the bronze basin to Fatty. As Fatty quickly caught it, Poker-Face whispered, Knife!

I threw my Kukri to him just as the immortal door was pushed open. Poker-Face caught the knife, jumped up, and slammed the door shut. He then stuffed my Kukri into the door bolt seam behind him and twisted it until the door bolt was jammed.

The three of us stood back and watched as fingernails slowly started to appear in the door cracks before eventually coming to a stop. Poker-Faces expression became even more solemn than usual.

"Where the fuck is this?" Fatty asked as he looked around.

Poker-Face moved his fingers before leaning down and starting to grope for something in the water. Fatty and I glanced at each other before squatting down and copying him. After a few moments, Poker-Face seemed to find something and pulled on it. A plank came out of the water and all the water around us rushed towards that area in an instant. The current was so strong that it almost pushed us down.

TN Notes:

(1) Per Tiffany: It's when someone wraps their legs around the opponents body parts (head/arms.), which is what Wu Xie did to Fatty. When they cross their legs, it looks like scissors. Think along the lines of Black Widow in the Marvel movies.
