Chapter 5 A : “Shoot the People on the Left” END

Cody decided to shoot Emily. He aimed the gun at Emily, his eyes filled with tears. "Forgive me, Emily. I have to save Lilly," he whispered.

With trembling hands, Cody pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoed in the room, and Emily fell. Lilly cried hysterically in front of him, shocked and unable to believe what had just happened.

The Gambler smiled with satisfaction. "A difficult choice, Cody. But you managed to make a decision. Congratulations, you have won this game."

Cody fell to the floor, his body trembling violently. He felt an immense guilt crushing his heart. Emily, his best friend, someone who had sacrificed a lot for him, now lay lifeless because of his decision. His tears kept flowing endlessly.

The Gambler approached, clapping his hands vigorously. "Congratulations, Cody! You have successfully completed my game. Look at the expression of despair and sadness on your face... this is what I was looking for."

Cody could only glare at The Gambler with deep hatred and pain. "You monster," he said with a voice full of anger and despair.

The Gambler just laughed. "You may see me as a monster, but I am just a reflection of the darkness within you. Now, let's get out of here."

With arrogant steps, The Gambler escorted Cody and Lilly out of the building. Lilly, still in shock and disbelief, could only cry. She couldn't believe the choice her brother had made. As they walked out, Cody felt a heavy burden on his chest. The guilt of killing Emily haunted him incessantly.

After they exited the building, The Gambler stopped and gave a hearty congratulations. "Congratulations, Cody. You and Lilly are free now. But remember, the shadow of your choice will always haunt you. Farewell."

Cody and Lilly continued their journey, although they had escaped from that terrible game, the guilt still haunted both of them. Cody couldn't shake off the image of Emily's face from his mind. Every step he took felt heavy, filled with regret and deep sorrow.

Lilly, still silent and crying, couldn't fully comprehend what had happened. She only knew that her brother, who had always been her protector, had to make a horrifying choice. They walked in silence, the shadows of that tragic decision continuing to follow them.

In the quiet midnight, Cody looked up at the sky with deep sadness. "Forgive me, Emily. I hope you can understand. I had no other choice."

Lilly could only hug Cody tightly, trying to provide a little comfort amidst the darkness enveloping their hearts. They knew their journey was far from over, and the shadows of the past would continue to haunt every step they took.
